"So I had unprotected sex with my guy on Sep 15th and took Plan B within an hour or so. The next few days I had spotting, tender breasts, felt awfully nauseous and tired. Today's the 23rd and I got my period. It is a day early and a bit lighter, but I am glad it is here. The pill works though I am going to go on regular birth control pills so that I never experience this stress again."


"Well I've been trying to lose weight since I gave birth to my son 14 yrs ago. And my new years resolution was to lose weight, and I was give Adipex by my doctor. I started on my diet Jan.2008. I weighed 210 lbs. And now with eating healthly and exercise I weigh about 180 lbs. I lost 30 pounds and I'm very happy with myself and thankful for my family and friends with all their support."


"The muscle pain was so severe at night that I was only getting an hour or two of sleep each night. The fatigue was so bad, I could hardly roll over to get off the bed or couch. I had been taking Cymbalta for nerve damage from cancer surgery so it was not helping the condition.  The rheumologist started me on Savella.  The muscle pain improved drastically although the fatigue continued for about a month. I hired a trainer and work out with stretching and weights 3 times a week and do stretching exercises every day.  I also take Zanax and Trazadone at night to sleep as the Savella also keeps me awake and hyperactive. I still have the nerve pain from the cancer surgery all the time at varying levels."


"Ok sooo I started taking Belviq on July 11,2015. I took 1 pill at 9a I started feeling like I was intoxicated, dizzy & very tired for like a 1/2 an hour. Then my  muscles began to feel alil achy  in both arms,my cheeks on my  face started feeling achy like I had been smiling for 2hrs &lil lower back pain. It all was just  alil discomfort nothing too  alarming that I needed any  pain meds for. After a couple    hours it had passed & so did my appetite. Once I noticed the  time it was 7p so I made                 myself eat a salad & took the 2nd pill. I didnt like the 2nd dosage because it made me feel dizzy & like I just came from a bar. So I only take 1am pill a day. July 11-July18 288lb to 282lb 7 days lost 6lbs & feeln good."


"I have been taking Jalyn for about 4 months, and have experienced mild improvement in my urine stream.  I get up once during the night.  Have experienced decreased libido and an inability to ejaculate, which happened during third month of use.  Also had some mild dizziness during first month."


"Many may years of severely dry skin all over my body but cold months is the killer. I think skin get red and inflamed no matter oils or other creams you try u may get some short term happiness but I need more. Your heels crack open to blood and severe pain. I found this product and have seen just how strong of a medication this is. Will not stop. Men can put on elbows and knees. You will see great things"


"I was given trazodone for my mind racing. I was on Lunesta before, but I have to take two pills to fall asleep (6mg) and I guess 3mg is the daily limit. The doc gave me 50mg of trazodone it did nothing but make my vision blurry. I even took one Lunesta with the 50mg trazdone and was up all night long. So tonight I'm trying 100mg trazodone, noticed already my vision is blurry, HOPING this will allow me to sleep tonight."


"I really like this implanon, no more worries. I even forget I have it sometimes. I really recommend it to everyone. I used the patch and the pill before, but so far, Implanon is the best. The only thing is, which is not bad, I'm getting lighter periods. Oh and I'm losing a lot of hair but I'm not sure if this is a side effect from the implanon."


"Never again.  I had mood swings, crazy periods  and out of the norm behavior."


"I work at farmers markets 6 days a week and have for many years been a sufferer of rheumatoid arthritis. More recently I have had major attacks of gouty arthritis. The pain from these attacks can be excruciating.
I tried all the painkillers under the sun. Being on Coumadin as a blood thinner I have to be careful what medicines I take.
I had a major attack this week and tried the usual NSAIDs off the shelf with no relief. I rang my doctor and he prescribed Prednisone (he has consulted me in the practice
in the last week).

The results have been amazing. I took my first days dose (4 tablets) and the pain subsided within less than two hours to the level that I could actually walk!

My joints are now less swollen and painful and I am so thankful for Prednisone."


"I have taken Lutera for about two years. I used to have awful period cramps, since I started this pill I haven't had any. I don't even remember what they feel like. Periods are super mild, I barley need anything. I never have acne. I have a breakout here and there, but that's life. My only complaint is that I gained weight. It makes me hungry constantly. I gained 10 lbs in two years. I could of kept off the weight if I watched what I ate and exercised more. Overall great pill. It's also very effective."


"I experienced a 6 pound weight in two days of fasting while taking this prep. It contains too much sodium for me. Today is one day after my colonoscopy and my stomach is still very distended, hard and I am severely constipated."


"I know it's different for everyone, but this drug brought me from suicidal to actually enjoying life in less than a month. I'm not jumping for joy by any means, but I'm certainly not UNhappy."


"I LOVE THIS MEDICINE! I had tried many medicines before this including methotrexate which was HORRIBLE-they all made me so ill. I only had loose stools at the start of treatment as a side effect, no others. I take it alone, without NSAIDs and it manages all my pain and swelling like a champ. I have had no flares and I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. My hair also stopped falling out after the 1st 2 months of taking it. It literally changed my life without shutting down my immune system. I could not be happier."


"I had a very severe bladder infection that caused bladder spasms, so my doctor gave me samples of the 4 mg Toviaz.  It definitely worked.  I was able to urinate only when needed, and was not running to the bathroom every time I took a few sips of liquid.  I was actually able to make it through 6 hours of sleep!  My only problem is that after about 12 hours the urges to urinate begin to increase again.  I wish they had a shorter acting product that could be taken every 12 hours instead of every 24, because my body seems to metabolize it very quickly.  It would be nice to take it when I got up and again in the evening.  "


"I am allergic to this product against the skin rashes stuffed up sinuses headache puffy eyes Redskin  uncontrol sneezing dry mouth sore throat achy all over and vomiting"


"After 43 years of anxiety/panic disorder, serax has helped me have a life. Dr's tried many other treatments until I ended up in ICU with my heart enzymes elevated. Theme 25 years ago Dr started me on Serax, which finally let me have a normal life."


"I have very high stress levels and panic disorder.  This has helped with my stress some and my anger levels have been a lot less severe.  I take other medications for anxiety attacks so I don't think it has changed that any.  My OCD hasn't changed either but I've never found a medication to change my compulsions or obsessive thoughts."


"I take Lunesta every night and find that I fall asleep easily and wake up easily after 8 or more hours  of sleep.  I wake up every morning grateful for Lunesta.  After many months and years of restless sleep and daily fatigue, Lunesta has brought much needed relief.  "


"I have had the implant since April of 2015. I have had my period the ENTIRE time except for three months when they put me on the pill to try and regulate it,as soon as i was done with the pill my period returned. I have also noticed more acne. I used to have completely clear skin prior,I would very seldom get a pimple and if I did it would clear quickly,  now its a nonstop battle between acne and menstruation.  I would not recommend the implant to my worst enemy."


"I started using differin in February after dealing with horrible acne my last semester of college. I think it was stress related, because I've always had pretty great skin up until then. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed me differin and antibiotics. All I can say is there is hope!! It took me 12 whole weeks to have skin I was comfortable with, but it really does work. My skin was horrible at first when I began using it, the purge as people like to call it, and I really didn't think there was going to be a light at the end of the tunnel. But seriously week 12 hit and it was night and day. I still use it every night with some days off in between but now I am actually comfortable in my skin w/ only the occasional zit"


"I have had chronic constipation for as long as I can remember. I have tried every remedy, over the counter medication, tea, prune juice and all worked but not ideal. When I saw the advertisements for Linzess I thought finally something that will help me. I was prescribed this drug and have nothing but severe diarrhea for a month and a half. I have tried taking at different time a day and night. Setting my alarm to get up and take before I go to work, hoping I can make it out of the house. I have taken before bed, but woke up to an accident. I can't seem to get past the diarrhea. I am happy that the drug works, but cannot with the unpredictable diarrhea. I'll contact my Dr. for a smaller dose, but may need to stop."


"Sun-caraco oxy's do not work!"


"Too soon for me to tell if this is working, but for you concerned about cost it is now generic and costs me $10 a month."


"Took methotrexate for 6 months after diagnosis for Rheumatoid arthritis, seemed to work fairly well for the pain/stiffness, but I had terrible side effects including nausea, fatigue, mood swings - almost couldn't get to work, coming up stairs felt like my feet weighed 500 pounds each - almost could not function at all. Now going to try in injectable form to see if that will not cause the side effects -  hopeful."


"I have had a pounding throbbing migraine for 18 days a terrible throbbing pain on the left side of my head. I tried everything under the sun imitrex over the counter everything the only thing that worked for me is fioricet it took away my migraine in an instant I suffer from anxiety so that caused my tension migraines this medicine puts anxiety at easy and your migraine completely gone. Please don't be in pain anymore go to your doctor and get fioricet. I feel for all the migraine sufferers I have been dealing with it for half my life don't be in pain anymore this medicine will really work also if you have moderate to severe anxiety like I do hope this helps!!!"


"I have lived for years and years with an issue that no one would identify as irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.  I was always told to eat better and drink plenty of water. When it was figured out what I had, that doctor suggested stool softners and drink plenty of water.  Then a sweet little physician's assistant prescribed Amitiza. This medicine works great even with the minimul side effects it creates.  I experienced a little nausea some light headed times but all in all it is worth all this to finally be "regular".
Before it was suggested I take this: I had read about it and several of the comments listed here.  Thanks."


"Experienced peeing problem for a year or two, in the end went to doctor who put me on Tamsulosin. After 3 months changed to Alfuzosin. Have now taken these for 9 months. Had side effects of dizziness, bad headaches, generally feeling jaded and unwell. I can pee better but that is the only plus, however I missed taking one day and it was hell as trying to pee was very painful. I had a cystoscopy two days ago and was told the front lobe of my prostate was too enlarged to have the Urolift procedure.The Urolift was the option I was hoping for so now I'm left with the Turp which has unwelcome side effects. I think I have an option of a tablet which may reduce the size which in turn will aid peeing. Have to say Alfuzosin does not effect everyone like this."


"I find that giving my 4 yr old son Bromfed DM, makes him aggressive and sleepless. I am not sure if its a combination with Albuterol or just by itself. I would say that he is hypersensitive to these drugs including zyrtec, claritin and singulair. When he was younger I would give him bromfed dm and zyrtec also.  He would be hyper and I thought that was his "normal behavior". When he got switched to claritin and singulair its when we noticed how much more aggressive he was becoming.  When I stopped all the medicine,  its when his demeanor completely changed. He suffers from environmental allergies & now when I give him any of the medications above,  his demeanor starts changing.  His aggression is uncontrollable. His doctors don't believe me."


"I recently sought help from a psychiatrist and he prescribed me starter doses of Lamictal. He also gave me samples of Latuda for if I began to notice myself experiencing an episode. I noticed that I began to have a quick decline in to depression after a hypomanic state and reluctantly began to take the Latuda. It is AMAZING. After only 5 days of use, I already feel so much better.  Today  I just noticed that I am not depressed anymore, as I was a few days ago. I am able to take better care of my body (eating better, exercise) because I already am feeling so much better. I get very sleepy and some akathisia, I just take it at night to avoid those side effects."


"The only medication that stops my paralyzing panic attacks. Generally works within 10 minutes. Side effects are non-existent."


"I am a 57 year old male with historically high blood pressure. I was averaging 140 - 150 over high 90's to low 100's.  I have been on the medication for about 3 weeks and my blood pressure is averaging 120's over 80's with no side effects at all. I hope this continues."


"I have had severe acne for years. I finally found this topical, and am extremely happy. I have been using it for almost a month. I don't get any severe drying, but it does keep my skin less oily looking (it's usually very oily), I don't have any peeling, redness or sun-sensitivity. I also have a marked reduction in the inflammation of nodules/cysts. It literally shrinks them after application, so I use it before I go out if I have a noticeable red bump or big cyst. I am really pleased, and just hoping it gets better from here. It has also improved the texture and look of my scars, so much so friends and family have commented without me asking! I would definitely recommend this, especially if you have severe acne, adult acne or scarring."


"For a year post surgery I could not get cold. My family froze in the winter, honestly they blew smoke in the air it was so cold in my house. I was burning up still. I can't remember the few meds I tried before my GYN finally prescribed Cenestin. End of story. Total fix within a few days. But now I'm told it is no longer being manufactured. On Premarin now.... We will see."


"On it for 5 months now, and all I have to say is WOW. I have battled nervousness, anxiety and a very, very low stress threshold for all my life (I'm 32 now). It all changed when I started taking Concerta. Started with 16 mg., and felt a lot more relaxed, but also started to develop a foggy kind of feeling in my head. After 2 weeks the dose was upped to 36, and the foggy feeling subsided a bit. Then on 54mg. 2 weeks later, it was like I could see things more clearly. My memory improved, I'm 'sharper', actually feel smarter. All of my anxiety, nervousness etc. is gone. cons: had a persistent fungal infection for a while (on my foot) allergic reaction (redness), & slight tinnitus, but all in all very, very satisfied. A life saver for me!"


"I've had a UTI for 2 weeks, treated with two other antibiotics, which did not really work. Last night I suddenly developed fever, chills and body aches, 5 days after the last antibiotic dose. I went to the ER and I was given a Nitrofurantoin pill as soon as blood and urine test were completed. By this morning, not only the fever had gone, but for the first time in two weeks I have no pain, and urine test is totally clear. I hope to avoid side effects, as I need to take it for another 6 days. All I can report is mild tiredness, but I have been tired for the past two weeks, so I cannot attribute this to Nitrofurantoin."


"Yesterday I completed five year on Letrozole!  Over the past two years I have had awful joint pain in my knees, outers thighs and wrists.  My body aches all over and I feel exhausted every day. I wake in the morning with stiff hands and fingers. My oncologist has now taken me off letrozole as I have completed my five years and told me that my aching body and joints should gradually get better."


"This was the first birth control pill I was given, almost 5 years ago, and I like it. First of all, I haven't gotten pregnant, so it does what it's supposed to do, and it also keeps my periods short, pain free, and extremely on time. Haven't noticed any negative side effects aside from mild breast tenderness on the third week of my cycle."


"Ah, I have a mixed review of Haldol. I started it years ago for psychosis. I've been on many different antipsychotics and for me the older typical ones work better than the newer atypicals. For a while I was so sick I was on both Haldol and Thorazine. That combo really helped a lot.

After years of 15 mg of Haldol a day I developed pseudoparkinsonism. I would shake, I had trouble walking, I couldn't write (couldn't form the letters with a pen), and I was drooling all the time. My doctor told me I wasn't allowed to drive for 6 months. Eventually it got to the point that my neurologist began to question the pseudoparkinsonism diagnosis -- she thought I was developing actual Parkinson's Disease.

I think I'm done with Haldol."


"No side effects yet. On my third month, just started noticing that I am not hungry. I have gain 20 lbs since I started, but I was off all medications for six month, urinating every 1/2 hr. Ate dinner out last night, my first time ever taking a doggy bag. I have a lot of bumps at the injection sights that have not gone away or gotten smaller. These are mostly when I inject in the upper abdominal region. My doctor does not know what they are, I am her first patient on Bydureon."


"I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is having a horrible break out because of this pill.  I've been taking it for 1.5 months, and my face, chest and back started to break out.  In addition, it is very expensive.  The one positive thing I did experience, is no bad headaches during my period like I used to get with other pills. Will go back to another pill that doesn't cause me these bad breakouts."


"At age 29 and after the birth of my second daughter I had continuous bleeding for 2 months.  I tried 3 different types of pills, but had moderate to heavy bleeding throughout the month and felt like my hormones were very unbalanced and I was going crazy.  FINALLY, after much trial and error, my practitioner suggested I try Natazia. I have been using Natazia now for 3 months and have had no breakthrough bleeding, shorter and lighter periods and feel like myself again."


"I've been taking Sprintec for 2 months now and it has worked very well. Before I would have horrible cramps and be sick for the first 3 days but now nothing happens at all. I have experienced a little spotting here and there but other than that it has worked very well with my body."


"The first month of the pills went by fast, but had long lasting side effects. Such as VERY hot flashes, a lot of them, weight gain, and migraines that would last for days. Now I'm almost done with my second months pack. My breasts have increased in size, I'm extremely irritable, and snap for no reason at all. I also cry a lot. My period started on day 1 of the 2nd pack. I am currently at the end of the pack (with 4 pills to spare) and my period is still here. It's been almost a month, I'm bleeding extremely heavy, too much blood loss, tired and dizzy."


"I got results while in rehab on 800 mg twice a day. After 3 back surgeries and 45 radiations. I am lucky to be alive.  Nowadays it does nothing for the 360 degree clamping feeling around my chest and back"


"WORST THING I EVER DID! I have had the implant in my arm for around 2 & a half years, I didn't want to wait till the 3 year mark to get it removed so I had it taken out today. I gained 28lb from having it put in my arm with no lifestyle or diet changes. It made me angry and always sad/depressed. I used to be so happy & calm and never got mad easily, but with the implant in I snapped at everything & had terrible mood swings. It effected me mentally. My periods were v irregular, I could be on for 1 full month & then off for 2 months then come on for a week & so on. Such a horrible life changing drug. The worst thing about it for me was the weight gain, I used to be slim and fit and now I'm fat, gone up 3 dress sizes! :( not good!"


"This medicine has helped with my urination problems but the sexual side effects like little to no semen when I ejaculated, and  a dramatic loss of erections are not worth the benefits.
After consulting with my Dr. I tried a natural prostate supplement and have now stopped taking Flomax completely.
After two months, my urination is normal and best of all I my semen  hs returned and my erections are finally returning to normal as well!"


"During the first month I took it, it made my period a lot lighter. However, it also made me a lot heavier. I gained 12-ish pounds while taking this, and I had crazy mood swings and emotional instability. I would cry for no reason and I was always slightly hungrier than I should be. My breasts have been sore during the entire duration of using this medicine. Also, I missed one pill and have been on my period for twenty-one days and counting."


"25 year old Caucasian female. I got it in October; healthy weight, normal blood pressure, not on any medication. I have a history of anxiety, but it was under control. Had cramping, painful breasts an irregular bleeding for weeks but I wanted to tough it out. However, around 4 months after insertion I began to have severe anxiety. This spiraled into very high blood pressure, severe heart palpitations, chest tightness, severe panic attacks, severe depression, severe brain fog, joint pain and headaches. I got referrals to a cardiologist and Mirena was dismissed as the reason. After reading reviews I demanded the doctor remove it. It has been 6 days and I see a significant improvement in all of the above -- hopefully positive trend continues"


"Severe hives. Cannot stop itching and a rash appears. Can be any part of my body and head. Drives me mad. But pros outweigh the cons as my anxiety has reduced so much."


"I had surgery that went bad leaving my system kinked.  This caused me to have nothing but problems with straining and constipation for several years now.  I am so happy to be able to use something that makes me feel normal again."


"Was prescribed this in conjunction with stimulant meds for ADHD but have found this really works well to relieve NAUSEA caused by ANXIETY. However as this is primarily a Blood Pressure Medication, it can make you dizzy if you take too much. I have found it the best of any medication to treat the nausea and upset stomach Generalised Anxiety produces. Highly Recommended With Caution!"


"Reclipsen was recommended to me by my doc when I was on other previous BC , because the dosage wasn't strong enough. I have been on Reclipsen regularly for about a year now and my depression, anxiety is through the roof.

Everything makes me irritable and I always want to be left alone. It feels horrible!

I was not always this way. Before the pill I was much more relaxed and enjoyed company! I do not recommend this pill to anyone and will not be taking it anymore. Too much stress and anxiety on my body.

I always feel fatigue, exhausted, no energy or sex drive!"


"I'm a 26 year old male have psychosis and pretty bad anxiety and have suffered with both since young. After years of switching different medication I got switched to Quetiapine. Dose upped over months and have now taken 600mg slow release every night for over 3 years. This drug has it's ups and downs at first it was great mood was great was sleeping brilliantly. After a while side effects start to take effect harshly I suffer joint pain in my knees and feet, have gained over all nearly 7 stone (bearing in mind was in good shape and tryed hard to maintain at no avail), makes me seriously sick if I take a different brand than normal. I'm pushing now to have either my dose lowered or to find something with less side effects. Short term Great"


"Lortab is a very strong pain reliever.  It takes between 1-2 hours to fully kick in.  The problem I had with it was:

1) Felt like I was in a mental "fog" effect for days.

2) Constipation - drink a lot of water

I have had 20 pills over a period of 3 years for periodic intense leg, ankle or back pain do to work.  I have switch to Tramadol 50mg with less side effects."


"I am 23 years of age and this is the first BCP I was put on to treat my severe cramps. The first week of taking it I was extremely nauseous but that was the only side effect I noticed. Until my third week in 10 days before my period I started getting dark discharge heavily for a week on top of that I experienced cramps that weren't as painful as they usually are but still enough pain for me to feel uncomfortable and notice them. My skin also broke out really badly which was the worst side effect of them all since I had clear skin when I started. I'm not sure whether I want to continue into my second month to see if it will improve or switch all together. My impression of it at the moment is it hasnt done much good for me"


"I have been on Linsinopril 5mg for about 2 years, it does the job to bring down my BP readings but much below the normal range, and I have had serious headaches during these times the kind headaches that I have never experienced before.  It's just horrible, I can not function normal daily life anymore.  I thought to stop take this medicine but the doctors say that I have to be on it to control proteins in my urine.  I am feeling miserable."


"My 15 year old son stated taking a 50mg dose of Vyvanse last spring.  We were elated with the initial response.  His attitude and outlook improved greatly, and performance at school improved.  His appetite dropped off too.  After 6 weeks of taking daily doses he began vomiting.  We ended up taking him off this medication because of the vomiting. "


"After 3 weeks of using it, my face is redder, bumpier, itchy and sore."


"This is the 3rd brand I've ever tried after having horrible side effects from the first two. For a while this pill really worked for me, and I thought I finally found my brand. But a lot of little things like rapid heart rate, headaches, and frequent infections I finally linked to this. I never got pregnant and it regulated my periods well. But eventually my body started rebelling against this pill and it wasn't worth it."


"I've been on Aubra for a month now. My experience with this birth control was really great. I didn't know what to expect on this pill but I ended up having a great experience. I had little to no nausea and I only got a tiny bit emotional the week of my period. I love being on this pill. It eased my cramps a lot and doesn't make me break out. I will continue to use this birth control."


"I took the first pill yesterday around 8 am and it worked right away.  By 4pm my stomach was a bit queasy so I ate some dinner.  By 6 pm I was feeling sick to my stomach with pain and nausea.  I went to the bathroom a couple of times and was still very nauseated.  By 2am I was throwing up.  I then took some anti nausea meds and finally fell asleep by 4am.  I woke up around 8:30am no longer nauseated but felt like I got hit by a freight train.  I've been on the couch all day taking mini naps.  It is now 7pm and I'm finally starting to feel better.
I called the pharmacy to see if I could get a refund but they said no.  I can see how the meds work but not at the physical cost of being deathly ill.  I hope this works for someone else."


"I smoked for 43 years, I got up to a pack and a half to two packs a day. I started taking Chantix December 18th, 2015, my quit date was December 26th.. I took about three draws off of a cigarette about a week after my quit day and it taste horrible and made me sick. The only side effect that I had was agitation, I only was agitated when driving and with one co-worker. I stopped taking Chantix after 30 days due to the agitation. I haven't smoked in 22 days, I continue to get the urge to smoke, but it passes after a few minutes. GREATFUL...."


"I was prescribed 20 mg  of Lexapro (I split in half) about a year ago and it did make me feel "Zombie Like" for the first couple days of taken it but i got used to it and it did help my anxiety A LOT. I was taken off it cause i was taken off of it about 4 months into taken it cause my insurance wouldn't cover it anymore. Its been about 6 months since I've taken something and my doctor decided to prescribe me 10 mg of Celexa. I took my first dose last night and I was kinda iffy about taking it and was scared for about 1 hour after taking it then I started feeling unscared and more realistic as I do suffer from Depersonilization too. As of right now being my 2nd day on Celexa I can say the side effects aren't as bad as Lexapro were."


"It works but never again. It feels like stabbing in the stomach region. Still doing a number 2. Feels like I would be here for a while :("


"Woke up from anesthesia with headache, extremely dizzy, and unable to coordinate my eyes together. I could not sleep for 32 hours. Two days after surgery I started having heart palpitations and seeing flashes in one eye. I needed to be checked with EKG and eyes checked for possible tear of  the retina. It took 10 days for dizziness and eye coordination to return to normal."


"They had me on this combination of 100's & 150's at different times in the day. Sometimes I would take my meds just fine other times I would take them, my head would feel like it was going to explode,  white part on computer screens would dance around gave me wicked vertigo. I don;t know why it only worked for me on a pick and choice kind of basses.

"


"I did a lot of research on different birth controls prior and Nuvaring seemed to be the best. So I gave it a try. I'm taking it to control my hormonal mood swings and acne. The first 3 days, my sex drive was through the roof, mood swings gone but bloating instantly but then 5 days - a week later, bloating, depressed, angry mood swings, acne has gotten 10x worse especially on my back, weight/water gain, and now a week and half later I have cramps randomly. I also have been eating like crazy and crazy food at night and junk food. So basically its like I'm on my period! I'm going to give it another week or two until my cycle then I'll stop taking it.

"


"Omg...this is just some bullcrap. I was on minastrin  before I got pregnant and the periods weren't really heavy but I cramped really bad. So I decided after the baby I would go back on it until my paragard comes in. Whelp, I get back on it, keep in mind I'm already facing post partum depression.  I have every symptom listed. I can't believe it would make me suicidal but yes...it does.  I stopped taking it because I couldn't stand the spotting...well of course that turned into a heavy period. Then 2 weeks later I got another full period. So I went without birth control for another month which wasn't cool. So I decided at the start of my current period I would start back taking it. And here I am...spotting after my period, and I have blood clots."


"This gave me very vivid nightmares. It turned me into a zombie: I went from a very happy cheerful person to a boring introvert. Made me paranoid I was always on edge. My appetite was cut in half. I get blurry vision and drowsiness when I have migraines and amitriptyline helps with that. I have had migraines for the past 3 year everyday and this did not help."


"Rating on Experience. Kyleena was placed 3 days ago on last day of my cycle. Placement was harsh and painful.  My Dr said my cervix was to "the side" and had to use an instrument to "hold it tight and in place" it took her 10 mins or so messing with my cervix to finally get the Kyleena in.  Despite of taking Hydrocodone 30 mins prior, it still hurt.  I sat for 5 mins after insertion and was dizzy/nauseous walking out.  I bleed a little heavy for the next hour or so, but then it stopped.  I feel cramps and discomfort down there as if I had "something" stuck inside, it may be due to my cervix being "messed" with.  I have very minimal spotting but only when I wipe.  I wanted the IUD to stop my cycles, IDK if this will work."


"My husband had pain in his testicles for over a year, he saw two different urologists, was referred to a pain clinic and they could not help him. Our GP prescribed Lyrica and after two pills he is pain free. It is a God-send. I wish more doctors knew about this medicine."


"I tried to quit on many occasions prior to using Zyban. My friend who smoked 2 packs a day quit using this drug which totally amazed me. I am a very cheap person and when a carton of generic cigarettes went up to $15.00 (which by todays prices is cheap, but not then) I swore I had wasted enough money harming my lungs. I started Zyban and set my quit date for 2 weeks. On the last day before that date, I was sitting around and realized I had not had a cigarette all day, and I haven't had one since. That was 19 years ago. I would highly recommend Zyban to quit smoking now before any more damage is done to your lungs. The cost of the medicine is no more than the cost of a carton of cigarettes for a month."


"I had been coughing for 2 weeks straight really badly. I called my doctor to get a check up and she prescribed me the 5 day dosage. 2 the first day and then 1 for the next 4. By the 5th day my cough was still there and I had gotten the runs. This medicine was a waste of my time"


"I tried a lot of products to get rid of my adult acne. The doctor put me on a topical cream for the first 3 months then wanted me to take Solodyn 45 along with the cream. My face looks perfect. I started getting side effects the last 2 months since the doctor gave me Solodyn 55. Now I have problems breathing and a little dizzy. I am only 30 and very healthy and this is the only pill I take so I think it had to be the upgrade on mg that is causing my new problems. I stopped the pills but am still using the cream. Hopefully I wont get the acne back. I would recommend this but make sure you pay attention to any changes in your health and stop taking it then."


"severe headache (seems like my head is gonna explode)
nausea & vomiting"


"It's ok but I started to develop a yeast infection after two weeks"


"I have jerky events that have not technically been epilepsy, but it runs throughout my mom's side of the family and I have just started keppra at 2000mg a day. I have been on topamax for a couple years now and my doc added keppra in conjunction with 300mg topamax a day, since only 400mg of topamax a day was not working and the side effects of memory loss and painful pins/needles were too awful to deal with. Keppra so far has only made me feel a zonked and not too hungry, but my memory is coming back which I am happy about. I also have not had event. I am sure the zombieness will wear off with some time."


"I absolutely love Ortho Evra. I'd never used a hormonal birth control before, and being super flighty I knew I couldn't be trusted to take the pill. I originally started off with the ring which resulted in non-stop crying, non-stop cramping and constant breakthrough bleeding. Even though the patch and the ring use the same exact hormones in extremely similar dosages, I decided to give the patch a shot. Instantly, I felt worlds better. My period was regular, which was the first time I'd ever had a regular period in my entire life. They're not lighter by any means, but I'll take five days of heavy bleeding over a month of it! Only problem? The patch is prone to coming off if your skin gets very warm and clothing rubs on it, unfortunately!"


"This pull is awful. I've been on it for a year now, & my breast have gone from a B-D (not fun having to go buy all new bras) & they basically always have a tender feeling. I've gained about 15-20 pounds. I live a very active lifestyle & eat very well. I could literally starve myself & can't lose the weight I've gained from this pill. As well, the low sex drive is crazy. & don't miss your pill whatever you do. You will start spitting ASAP. I thought I was crazy until I read these post, & I'm so glad I'm not alone. Oh, & I get horrible headaches now due to this pill."


"I am 18 now and I've had Nexplanon for a year now. The insertion was painful of course -bruised. For the first 4 months I bled every day but since then I rarely bleed. No acne, no weight gain. I get headaches at times, and pretty emotional most of the time. As for birth control, it is fantastic!"


"I have recently started taking Savella and it has really made a difference in my mood, clarity and desire to do things.  I have less pain....still have pain but some how it's not as debilitating.  Very pleased so far.....as far as side effects ....I have most of the issues it causes any way so not sure how I would know if it was fibro or the drug.  This has been a very postive experience.  I still take Lyrica .....this is one I would like to stop taking but I can't convince my neurologist."


"I had Skyla inserted 6 months ago. I would describe insertion as the most uncomfortable I've ever been. It was extreme pressure in a place deep inside my body – nothing I've felt before, but also not exactly pain. It lasted maybe 20 seconds before subsiding into the feeling of menstrual cramps. Those cramps lasted 3-4 days after insertion, and I spotted for the first month. Since then, Skyla has been pretty good. The only time I notice Skyla is during my period. My bleeding is light, but WOW do I get horrible cramps. I rarely got cramps prior to using Skyla, and these feel similar to the ones I had post-insertion. However my friends have not had this issue – every body is different. Overall I do recommend Skyla!"


"I have had severe menstrual pain since I was 13 yrs old.  Nothing has ever worked except when I was on the birth control pill.  Doctor put me on Ponstel and it only worked for the first day.  On day 2, 3 and 4 of my period it didn't work at all.  Doctor is going to keep me on Ponstel and also added Vicodin for the couple of "bad days".  We will see if it works.  It did work better then Celebrex (faster) that is."


"I took this for one week. It gave me terrible acne. I have never had acne more than an occasional pimple, but it made my face red and bumpy all over, and it has stayed ever since! I switched to a mini pill for a few months and then stopped birth control to get pregnant. It has been 8 months since then and I still have a red bumpy face."


"I started noticing my sweat in 6th grade. In middle school my doctor said my Sympathetic nerves were hyperactive so I would constantly sweat no matter what temperature. Hypercare changed my life because I am a setter on the volleyball team which wouldn't be possible without its use. T"


"I came here to post my experience over the years with Ambien and Ambien CR. They were bad for me. I had issues with memory, especially with my family having to remind me of what I said and did, even the morning after, really groggy, cloudy, fuzzy. Not good for raising kids.

I was helped by sweetlemon on this website in her post here:

I asked my doctor about Silenor and she gave me 3 milligram tablets. She had no samples but I figured I had already spent a fortune on Ambien so why not. Got 7 hours of sleep without a problem. I haven't felt this good in a very very long time. Thank you all on this website. I can sleep now!"


"I had told my Dr. How when I walk up my stairs in my house how I'm out off breathe and how my chest had been feeling tight over the last few months and I just use my nebulizer or my ventolin pump and it helps me feel better .But then she suggested Advair Diskus and within the 2nd day I felt the tightness in my chest like I was having an asthma attack and then my throat started to feel swollen so I stopped the medicine . Since using this medication my throat is sore, swollen glands,hurts when I swallow . I'm very nervous and will not use it anymore"


"I am a 44yr old male recently diagnosed with MG since Nov 2015. I take 90mg 4 times a day. My medication generally last 5hrs. My MG inolves slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, teary eyes, difficulty pushing food around with my tongue, a very weak bite. My medication usually kicks in after 45m-1hr. My speech improves although there is still a hint of a slur but much improved. Swallowing improves but still not confident. I always have water just in case. No diarrhea at all and only once I had severe cramps but that was while I was adjusting my dosage. Taking 2  60mg tablets will probably do that. Have vomited once but I function much better while on Mestinon."


"when I was first put on this medication in the emergency room, I was coming off heroin and my mood swings was horrific, and my anxiety was off the charts, they put me on 200 mg. immediately and was to take it 3 times a day. I was diagnosed as bipolar, ptsd severe anxiety disorder, hearing voices to kill myself, sleep disorder, among a few others. I have loved this medicine since day one almost 4 years ago. I have ended up 150 lbs. over weight, and diabetic. however one may see this, I call this my miracle pill. I wish I had been put on it as a teenager. I have told my psych don't ever try to take this away from me, I get paranoid at thinking about it. I may be fat and diabetic, but I have a good life and great family."


"Adderall 30mg/day = you feel like a genius, work hard, EYES OPEN WIDE. But at the end of the work day, I still couldn't stop myself from falling asleep on the skytrain at around 4:30 pm when I try to read. Don't think it helped much with depression and anxiety.

Dexedrine 3 10mg/day = You have tunnel vision, Focused, block out distractions, helps with my severe anxiety. I think the depression is pretty under control too. Can read all day if I want. Could have really used this when I began my studies, 4 years ago! Not a month ago, with one course....

Either one, I think you perform better at work and school, but Adderall just wore off, so studying after work, you would still need coffee, or a power nap"


"I was experiencing major anxiety which I only have when I have major life changes.  After getting engaged, moving, planning a wedding, and changing jobs the anxiety kicked in full force.  Doctor put me on Zoloft, which make me very very nauseous. Lost 10 pounds on it, was miserable as it also caused more anxiety and moodiness. Doctor gave me trials of Pristiq...AMAZING. I had not realized how closed off I was until I tried Pristiq.  It increased my ability to have relationships with friends, my fiance, and even family.  Prior to Pristiq, I was very shy and untrusting of everyone. Tried Lexapro too due to insurance requirements. Dislike - for me it caused weight gain, clench jaw, moodiness.  Long process to find the right medicine!"


"I've been using Alesse 28 for a little over a year now and it's my first birth control pill! I use it mainly for period regulation since my period wouldn't come 6 months at a time and for birth control (10/10 effective when used properly). When I first started taking Alesse, my abdominal region felt a bit uncomfortable, but within a matter of about 2 weeks it went away. Some symptoms I've taken notice of was the mild mood swings I'd have once in a while and a little bit of dizziness. Now, the abdominal pain and dizziness I seem to have experienced a year ago has subsided, but the mild mood swings are still apparent and prevalent. I have no consistent weight loss or weight gain, acne, hair loss or hair growth, or loss of a sex drive."


"Hi I am 20 and just had the copper coil fitted a week ago. When it was inserted as I have had no children it was slightly uncomfortable however i was unaware you should take pain killers before the procedure so now I know! But it was not major had a couple of twinges for about 4 days and brownish discharge but after that everything went back to normal.  I still feel slight period cramps here and there especially when I'm in need of a bowel movement! (TMI) overall so far I think its going well"


"Works great. "


"I took jardiance for about 3 months. During that time I lost over a stone and felt much livelier. But my blood sugar went up slightly, so doc refused to prescribe me any more. They then forced me onto victoza which is making me I'll. I had no bad side effects with jardiance. Yes I used to pee more, but at least it got rid of the  diarrhea I had before taking it. No thrush or anything, though the doc was hoping I'd get thrush so they could stop it. The docs seem to be completely against these for some reason. Trying to get it back."


"I started taking Levaquin and felt much better.  The only side effect was too much sleep. I feel tired and depressed. I can't wait to get rid of this sinus infection.  I also took the same medicine for a bladder infection about a month ago and it sure help.  I just need to be aware of the risks.  So far I am good.  Best to you all!
Regards"


"I'm 16 years old, and I've just recently started taking Vyvanse. I just started taking a new pill for my depression. Zoloft, which started helping. But I could notice a HUGE difference with Vyvanse right away. I am much more talkative, been in a better mood, less lazy, and I actually don't mind cleaning my room every now and then. I used to fight with my boyfriend all the time about things, which I now realize should have been no big deal at all. But now, things have changed. I'm excited for school, even because I want to see if Vyvanse will help me bring up my grades and concentrate better, instead of falling asleep in class. Some side effects I've noticed though is not having an appetite, and talking too much."


"Seems to be the only thing that helps since Bextra was taken off the market."


"Suffer with G.O.R.D. so the heartburn has been awful, only day 3, 250mg twice a day with food. Have been very dizzy, light headed & felt like holding onto things to steady myself. Yesterday after walking & been on feet all day, got tingling/ pinching pain in one leg, went away after elevation & rest.  Have had lower back & pelvis ache. A little nausea, but no real trouble eating, just the reflux making it seem worse. No trouble so far with bowel movements or urine discolouration. Infection clearing within the first two days, discomfort from abscess in glands gone after day one. Side effects much more tolerable than dental pain so far."


"My Tyiglycerids were over 400.  One year later they are down to 112.

HdL 35 LDL 66"


"I use ondansetron orally disintegrating tablets that i receive via prescription (8mg). I only use these on rare occasions when i eat badly, eat too much, or am very anxious, thereby making myself sick. It usually kicks in a few hours after i take it. (They are disintegrating but I usually swallow them with water because the taste is unappealing to me, but so far that has not affected its efficiency). Every time as far back as i can recall (and I have been taking this for several years) this medicine has been able to help with my nausea and vomiting. The only times i remember getting sick despite the medicine was when i got upset and cried violently, causing me to throw up. Other than that i don't recall ever throwing up after taking it!"


"Diagnosed in late 80's as having Attention Disorder - however my grades were always pretty good that my mother and doctor did not put me on medication. As I began my career years ago, I noticed I had trouble staying on tasks and my impulsiveness at work was causing me problems. Worked with Behavior Therapist and that helped for many years. However, I still struggled to stay on deadline at work and that stress led to issues in my personal life.

Started taking Vyvanse 30mgs 3 mos ago at the age of 36. For the first time in my adult-life I feel that I have my act together. Still follow what I learned in therapy over the years - which I hope will help me stay at a lower dose. I pay $250 a month before my deductible is reached then 80% after."


"My 16 year old son has had acne- not to the point of scaring but enough to really affect his self esteem.

He is now under a specialist and has been taking Accutane for about 3-4 months.40mg per day.

After a month or so his skin was even worse and it was quite horrific but now he is nearly clear !

He has always been very moody and I have constantly been worried that he may have depression.

He has shown NO signs of being any worse on this medication !

Dry, dry, dry lips is the worst side effect and his self esteem is better."


"It's amazing reading this forum about people who go through exactly what you are going through. I'm a confident business professional, some call me almost arrogant, I'm late 40s fit and lead a very healthy lifestyle. I have a fear of being judged so that can affect me horribly socially, even introducing myself in a meeting never mind giving a big speech. I have done every kind of therapy imaginable and taken Xanax with zero success; would even say I got worse. Propranalol is a miracle. Takes away not only fear but fear of fear with no side effects. I need at least 40mg to derive benefit and I'm not a large guy although tall. 40-80mg situationally. Otherwise, I'm going to start at 40mg 2x a day to stay even and in control. Truly a life saver"


"I have just started the patch birth control and I love it. I can not swallow pills to the best of my abilities unfortunately so that would never work for me. I was on Depo for a year and experienced heavy cramping and bleeding the entire time. The patch seems to be working okay so far, I am experiencing nausea and migraines but I just hope it passes soon as this is my first week on the patch itself. I really hope this birth control works because I do not like any of the other birth control options out there and I am hoping that the side effects go away soon."


"I was experiencing pain in my hips like never before Because I had no insurance finding any relief meant a trip to ER. Finally I was approved for medicatation.  After waiting longer than I should of for care, I saw a doctor that said I have aseptic necrosis. What is this? It is interruption of blood supply. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. Treatment is total hip replacement. I have had my right done. It was collapsed. Very painful! Now waiting on my left. That is not the end. My shoulders need replacement. I was prescribed 60 mg Hysingla ER (hydrocodone bitartate) . It was not for me. My doctor finally decided on dilaudid 4 mg. Thank god! Thinking he needs to up my dose. Much better now!"


"My dad was on this for 5 years he advanced in stages and it still improved his mind once he was taken off the medication at the hospital and had a significant decline - they started him back on it and started to improve. I would recommend this to talking to your doctor about it."


"I've had it for two months, up to now I've bleed since day 1, acne, no sex drive, and dryness!"


"I've had the implant in for nearly 3 months and hate it. I am constantly bleeding some days are heavier than others. I've always got a headache. I want to eat all the time and the mood swings are terrible, so getting it removed. I just want to feel normal again."


"This is a horrible shot!! I got my first shot in August, ever since then everything has been terrible. I am not a normal crier and I cry at least twice a week over very small things or sometimes nothing. Before I was very happy, me and my boyfriend were at a good spot and I had a good relationship with everyone around me. Now I can't keep the same relationship with anyone because I constantly and moody or sad. The cramping during the first month was ridiculous, unlike any other cramping I experienced. My period didn't last that long like other ladies, but I did spot almost everyday. The depression has to be the worst side effect I experienced. It has taken over my life making it super hard for me to do the things I love, such as volleyball."


"It helps 70 percent"


"This birth control was completely effective for me when I was sexually active. However when I was not sexually active for my last two months of taking this pill my periods were more painful and barely bled at all. But while I was sexually active I barely had any acne, didn't gain any weight, and had no problems with my sex drive. I took this birth control for almost 2 years."


"Cymbalta works but hard when you
have to get off it. My insurance will no longer pay for it. It was already expensive enough with insurance. Even though I am being weaned off it with my doctor on board, it ain't pretty. I am having major brain zaps, anxiety. Two more weeks of the weaning off period then my doc is starting me on Effexor. She says its the closest to Cymbalta. We will see."


"I take 5/325 for lower back pain caused by Degenerative Disk Disease. The Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen mix works wonderful but I find that the pain relief only lasts an hour or two before it begins to come back with a vengeance. It's great to have around for quick pain relief, it is not addictive despite what a lot of doctor's say. I take two a day to control my lower back pain and I've never had a problem stopping immediately for any reason. I also take Tramadol 50 mg to help relax the muscles but the Tramadol makes me really groggy where the Hydrocodone does not. The hydrocodone does cause me to be up at night but I am able to manage that and it is worth the pain relief. Highly recommend. Hard to get however, doctors don't like prescribing."


"Worked for a half year, then I got paranoid, depression and ADHD started to show, and had really bad headaches."


"I take one Loratadine per day for dermographism. It reduces itching substantially, but does not decrease the appearance of the rash. The effectiveness of one pill seems to last longer than 24 hours... typically I don't notice itching until about 36 hours after taking a pill."


"This drug is horrible and I'm about to go to the ER I think I have pancreatitis the doc said I'd lose weight but I've gained weight since I've been on it I've craved sugar like never before and if I don't get sugar I get super crabby and irritated and all I wanna do when I'm not crabby is sleep. The stomach pains is so severe too"


"IT WORKS! So without a doubt I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day. Took Plan B within 12 hours. Felt immense nausea at first, then intense cramps followed. My mood was insanely erratic and I underwent quite a bit of depression.  Typical for an increase in hormones. I have not started bleeding yet, as I am 3 days away from menstruation, however, I did take a First Response just now, with a negative response. So I am hoping and believe I should be okay.  I recommend it, if you're not ready. You know you. Decide what's BEST for YOU. People will throw stones living in glass houses. At the end of the day, they don't live with your choice! Thank you Plan B for another option. Thank you Plan B for granting me a CHOICE."


"I've been on Pristiq for about 6 months now, taking 50mg for about 6 weeks then bumping up to 100mg after that. I have noticed a huge change in mood. I don't fixate on little things and let them bother me for the whole day like they used too. I feel much more confident now and I am actually smiling lately. Some side effects I have noticed are the occasional headache (I find if I take it the same time each morning I don't get a headache), drymouth, and if I miss a dose I get absolutely WILD dreams and my anxiety comes creeping back in. Also, I notice it makes me ramble on and on when I talk sometimes which can be a little embarrassing especially in work situations. Overall though, the benefits significantly outweigh the side effects!!"


"I took it just to be sure almost 40 hrs after the incident. I did not get pregnant. That said, this was the first time I used any type of oral contraceptive EVER. So I had horrible side effects. Probably not because of he medicine as such but may be because of the high dosage of it. A day after I was completely exhausted and had spotting a week later. That week was terrible. I had gastric trouble, acidity, bloating, sort of menstrual cramps pretty much all the symptoms of pregnancy. Turns out these were the side effects for the medication as my body was not used to sudden harmonal changes. So I sincerely suggest just use protection and be on a regular pill. Be coutious if you have never used any type of contraceptive."


"I've been on Micronor for about three months now and I really have no complaints/haven't noticed any negative side effects. The only changes I've noticed, though I'm not sure if they have to do with this medication or are just from stress, but my breast size has decreased and I have almost no appetite. No complaints though! It has prevented pregnancy so far, which is why I'm taking it! Also, no periods or spotting to speak of."


"I have used Breo for 1 month now and must day.... WOW.. I can give up my nebulizer which was every 4 hours ..yes nightly also... once a day... almost normal again. ps.. Breo is new... I had to tell my MD about it.. she gave me a 12 month free trial prescription card...... hope this helps!"


"I had an easy insertion experience, have not yet experienced a negative side effect caused by Mirena, and am overall pleased with this birth control method."


"This is a miracle in a tube! I had moderate to severe adult acne and would have breakouts on my cheeks, jawline, and chin that would leave dark marks for months. I have oily/sensitive skin. At first, the gel burned A LOT and I got a few more pimples, which are side effects of the product. But now after about a month, my skin is adjusting and looks better than it has in years! Little to no pimples and dark marks are fading!
My Routine:
Morning- Wash face in lukewarm water with Dove Exfoliating Soap, then apply Aveeno Clean Complexion moisturizer.
Makeup - e.l.f. Blemish Control Primer and BB Cream
Night- Same as morning routine, but add Differin gel after washing face with soap, and apply Aveeno moisturizer about an hour afterward if needed"


"I just started taking TriNessa (I'm on my fourth pill). I'm 21 years old and it's my first time ever taking a birth control pill. So far, I love it! The first couple of days, I experienced a tiny headache. Nothing horrible. I barely even noticed it. I really don't feel any different. So far so good!"


"Relpax is the best remedy I have ever found for my migraines. I suffer from frequent migraines, if not daily.  It is an expensive medication if you don't have the insurance to cover it, but if you've suffered you know its worth every penny because it works every time.  I do not take this medication anymore and here is why.  When I first started using this miracle medicine my migraines were not daily, however after about a month of using Relpax when my migraine hit, I began having them every single day, which caused me to take one pill, every day.  My pharmacist had concerns over daily usage, apparently the 6 pack is supposed to last a month.  Spoke to my doctor and he took me off of it due to the fact that I was having to take it every day."


"I have taken this several times for ear infections. I am currently taking for a Strep infection and it has always done great by me with minimal side effects. I recommend."


"I decided to take an eleve pm pill so I could sleep better because I have insomnia... it was the worst move over. I slept at 11 and woke up at 1 and ive been up since. I have class today at 8 and this was the worst choice I ever did. My head hurts and I have a dry mouth so I've been drinking alot of water. I seriously DO NOT recommend."


"I've been on this for 9 yrs, i take 150mg 3 times a day, i've missed sometimes up to 2 doses with no side effects. i would be dead today if it weren't for this pill, that's the god's honest truth. Only side effect I can think of is I've gained a few pounds. Love Love this medication"


"Bought miconazole 3 tonight.  Used one applicator and the burning sent me to search the internet for answers beyond what the paper insert in the box could provide.  The burning is not severe but it is just as irritating as the actual YI.  I hope it (the burning) eases up because I doubt I'll do doses 2-3 if it doesn't."


"This medicine is everything. I take this and within an hour I'm in the bathroom. Once I take the pill I drink a whole bottle of water and it helps a whole lot better.  Usually go 2-3 times when I take the medicine. This medicine has saved my life."


"Holy molyl I feel like acid is burning up my hoo haa after using this cream for my yeast infection. Oh my! it burns and itches worse than having poison ivy! I feel like I want to scoot on the floor like a dog it's horrible!"


"I am a 35 year old woman, who has taken meds for 1/2 her life. I struggle with obsessive compulsive disorder, intrusive thoughts and overall depression. Wellbutrin.. I take 150mg a day. It has changed my life.. I have less obsessive thinking, more motivation and for some reason care way less about what people think."


"I have tried the pill and Depo

I didn't mind the pill except I had to take it every day and it made my boobs grow which I hated

I HATED Depo because it made me depressed and fat

Just got Skyla inserted yesterday, I like the idea of an IUD because I get to keep it for 3 years. The insertion process was not bad at all, honest to God. I didn't even know my gyno put it in. However, 10 minutes later I fainted in the waiting room which I am told is a normal reaction. They had to keep me until I regained color and was coherent. The cramps yesterday were AWFUL.

Today I feel great, minimal cramps and I am able to move around just fine.

Can't wait to continue Skyla for the next three years!"


"Don't do it!! I got the implant inserted in March of 2013 and I am going to wait until the 3 years is up to get it removed but it is the worst!! Sure, it does a great job of preventing a baby... but it makes you feel terrible all the time.  The past year on it has been the worst.  I didn't get a period until Novenmber of 2014 while on Nexplanon.  Then after that it has been hell.  This last month I bled all month but 4 days.  And when I say bleed I mean super plus tanpons being changed every hour and a half kind of bleeding.  Since about August I have these "pregnancy like symptoms" that just won't go away.  I have even thrown up.  I can not wait to get this little devil out of my my arm."


"I've had no problem taknig this med, but recently find that I need something stronger.  Any suggestions"


"Allegra is too expensive and doesn't do anything for me. Not worth it."


"I'm 40 years old and have battled with acne on and off since I was a teenager. Have tried everything from natural remedies to Proactive, benzoyl peroxide etc. and they seemed to work for a short time. For the last year I started having cystic acne on my jawline that seemed to be getting worse and after going to a new dermatologist she prescribed Aczone. After 3 wks and almost giving up I can finally say that I have not had one pimple. I would have one almost everyone other day! You do have to be patient as the current pimples I had seemed to take forever to heal and fade, I can say that this is working for me now. I have some scarring  to deal with but my face will now have a chance to start healing without any new breakouts. Give it a try!"


"I've been on DEpakote ER for about 7 years and regularly for 5 years before.   I am a rapid cycler I think.  Currently prescribed 2000mg/day (1000 in the morning and 1000 in the evening).  I notice weight gain (though could be due to less nightly manic behavior and age), some upset stomach at times, overall, I think it stabilizes me.   Caffeine does make me feel more alive when on ER.  Otherwise feel quite lethargic, apathetic, less motivated.  I tend to feel more like I am depressed when taking this medicine. Will look into combination of Anti-depressive.  "


"I have always had anxiety, but after having my twins at 25 weeks the anxiety just got worst. After their long stay in the NICU and they were fine I thought things would get better but it became my everyday life. I have now been on Lexapro for 4 days and I am very excited of the effects already. I feel more relaxed and I don't get upset over the little things. I am actually losing weight and sleeping better. I wish I had gone to my MD sooner because I feel like I am on my way to being my old self again. I am now on my way to being a better mom and wife and that makes me feel great."


"I've had panic attacks since I can remember. I recall my family DR.telling my mother that I would eventually need something for my nerves. I developed an irregular heartbeat around the age of 20. Of course, I am the last person who needed that symptom. I would go into a full blown panic attack and end up in the ER. My family Dr talked me into taking Xanax. I took .5 3 times a day like clockwork. Along with  Tenormin for my afib.for 10 years . I then switched to Klonopin .5 3× daily. It was miracle. No side effects. After taking the same dose for 15 years, my new Dr dropped dropped it to twice daily. OK for about 6 months. I've been  in the ER 5 times in the last 12 months. I need some good advice."


"OK. This drug isn't to be underestimated. Its Dangerous. At first I thought it was good because don't get me wrong it removes depressed emotion - problem is it takes away every other emotion too including good ones. It was hard to stop taking them because it does sort of work and I was scared to withdraw. Then I realised they were effecting my conscience and desicion making skills - they make you not care which made my quality of life worse, making me unable to communicate and also gain weight - then I had to up the dosage. Ironic right? So I decided I'd stop and I did, all of a sudden my sexual pleasure and ability to think straight came back, I'm happy again. Not recommended."


"My experience is completely different. I didn't gain any weight, I don't PMS at all since I've been on this birth control. I no longer cramp like used too. I've probably had about one bad cramp, unlike when I wasn't on birth control I would have terrible cramps every month. So yeah I love this birth control. "


"I'm on week 2 of Celexa. Started at 2.5 mg for five days, then increased to 5 mg. So far, no terrible side effects. I do have dizziness/lightheadedness, but I had that before I started. Every now and then I get an intense feeling of anxiety pass through me, but it is short lived. Positives are that I feel like my head is clearer. Mostly more calm. I find myself laughing more. My motivation and tiredness are still a factor, but I am hopeful this medication will work."


"This is horrible, going on my 3rd year. I was talked into getting this by my dr after I had my daughter. I can say I haven't gotten pregnant not only bc I'm not sexual when bleeding which is ALL the time, but bc my sex drive is almost non existent. I'm 21 I should still be a little crazy but nope it's as if it's a chore to do it. And weight gain ugh bb I hate you I was pretty small a size 3 and since I've had this in I've become to a size 3 to a 9!!!! I'm so unhappy with this and can't wait to take it out!!! Horrible"


"I tried the Oxytrol patch and liked the effect on helping my overactive bladder, but it irritated my skin and caused such itching I couldn't continue it. I tried placing the patch in a variety of places to no avail. I see on this site that it seems to be a common occurrence. "


"This takes all the pain out of my neck and back"


"I've been on this for a month and am at the full dose. I was dieting and exercising before this and was looking for something that would simply kill my appetite. I've used Phentermine before, which worked great at killing my appetite but also killed my libido, which won't work. I have to say I've not really experienced the appetite suppression I hoped for. I'm still hungry and just forcing myself not to eat. But I could do that without this and have done so in the past, so I'm not sure it's doing anything for me. It's a bummer because I was really hoping this would work. I'm going to give it until the end of this first bottle, which because of the build-up actually last a month and a half, then I'm probably done if nothing changes."


"I took the day after pill and it did what it was supposed to, but i have had bad acne and didnt have my period for two months though i wasnt pregnant. One werid thing i did notice though is my mood stabilized until i started my period again."


"2 or 3 weeks in with 25mg Nortriptyline at bedtime.  Migraines seem reduced, but it has had an unbearable effect on my ACID REFLUX.  As long as I eat healthy and avoid trigger foods, I do not take an acid reducer such as omeprazole, but I will need to take it if I continue the Nortriptyline.  I tried this medicine about a year ago, but stopped taking because of heartburn.  My doctor said it was not associated with heartburn, but now I have been taking for the 2nd time and gotten a huge flare-up of heartburn again.  I am convinced that for me it is the medicine and not a coincidence now.  "


"Hi
I just started on August 28th I'm on a low dose 1.6 I haven't had any side effects yet but I'm please to announce that my appetite is gone. I have to force myself to eat keep your fingers crossed for me"


"Keppra works great for me.  Been on it since August 2008 and

my seizures have been under control.  I am a 74 year old male

had two strokes with scar tissue causing seizures"


"This was my very first birth control that I ever had. I got it when I was 15 years old. At first I loved it because I went from having very irregular periods to having them right on time every month. However, by year two I was having panic attacks, mind-boggling depression, horrible break-outs, and titanic cramps. I switched to Yaz and all went well for a year. I am currently on Seasonique, which except for the slightly less sex drive, is AMAZING."


"I took this for about 6 months.  It made me very tired to the point that I would skip doses.  I told my docter that it could not be working for me if I couldn't stay awake or was missing doses. "


"I just finished a 10 day dose for a severe ear infection. After the second dose I began to experience extreme anxiety attacks, sleepless nights, total confusion, and thought I was losing my mind. I have had Xanax prescribed to relieve the anxiety attacks and I am hopeful that the attacks will stop now that I'm done with the Levaquin. "


"Made my anxiety worse. I could not have caffeine while on this medication . Weening myself off now. "


"I have taken this medication during certain times in my life due to events and change of time zones for long periods of time when my sleep pattern is broken.  It is great.  I have been able to stay at 25 mg without increase for more than a year and work myself off when fully recovered.  Be prepared to wait for it to kick in up to 2 weeks after starting it.  It needs to fully get into your system.  Everyones body is different.  Recently I tried zolpidem for a more immediate sleep and found I could only get 4 hours a night. I read about the addiction of it and possible rebound insomnia after weaning yourself off.  I am going back to that old model medicine, Amitriiptyline.  It is great and I get back to a 7-8 hour sleep pattern."


"I was in hospital for extreme pain in my tummy, vomiting and diarrhea at same time which later turned into vomiting and pooping blood. Diagnosed with Colitis. She also said it was a BI. I stayed a day cause the pain was so bad and I couldn't keep anything down so I was giving morphine by IV till I could keep fluids down. Also on Flagyl 500 3x day and Cipro 500 2x day for 14 days. On my 4th day and this medicine has been a life saver!! I've lost 6 pounds in 4 days.  I'm only eating a couple crackers and soup juice.  Nothing taste right. some foods have a metal taste. Also, makes me ache like I have the flu.  But nothing like the pain I was in before! I will take these few side effects before going through the pain I had before."


"I have had three serious psychotic events in my life.  The first was Post Partum Psychosis and hospitalization, the second was a breakthrough of my medication about 16 years later, at that time I was taking Mellaril and Zoloft.  I gradually weaned from the Mellaril because I was concerned about tardive disconecia.  I was fine for the next eight years, and had another psychotic break while under some extreme stress.  At that time, my physician added the Risperdal, and I had rapid disappearance off the anxiety and paranoia (it took about a week), and back to work in about a month. I have continued in a high functioning position as a university professor since that time, for the last twelve years, with no additional episodes."


"I think it makes me sad. This was my 3rd dose and I'm almost suicidal."


"Once in a while I eat something that brings on the trots.   One pill usually does the trick.  Like any other over the counter medicine, it's not something to become dependent on.  Once I figure-out what food item did me in, I stop eating it."


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


"I've been on it for three years and no pregnancy scares. No weight gain, nothing. My only complaint is my sex drive is nonexistant ."


"I love Skyla. I'm so glad I got this IUD, the best birth control I've ever been on. Other than a little extra bleeding after insertion, I've had absolutely no pain or side effects of any kind. It's so low maintenance, you don't have to do a thing and you're protected. I will say that the insertion was uncomfortable but it was quick and the discomfort soon subsided. I've had it now for 6 months, I still get my period but it's only for a few days and it's extremely light. Call me paranoid but I like getting my period, it's reassuring to me. I've heard with Mirena, it stops but maybe Skyla is a little different since it's a lower dose of hormones. Either way, I can't say enough about how much I love Skyla."


"I use Elavil for fibromyalgia...it has worked wonders for my sleep issues. My overall quality of life has dramatically increased simply because I am able to get the sleep I so needed and its helping with depression/anxiety. It works better than Ambien. My dose now is only 50 mg...so glad I tried this medicine. I am very scared of antidepressants due to a horrible reaction from Cymbalta but Elavil is an older medication and its chemical makeup is different than most of the newer SSRIs. I went from sleeping on average of 4 to 5 hours a night...now I can sleep 10 without ever waking up..literally something I haven't been able to do in 5 years. This medicine is the best medicine for me, and I've tried everything out there as I have had Fibro for 8 years."


"Taking Prozac for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is a miracle! But when I hit forty it really got worse.. especially at period time, my thoughts were so messed up, I would think things that I knew wasn't normal and cry because of the most ridiculous reasons or just non- stop crying for no reason. Irritated beyond expression and like my body was on speed. But all out of my control, I could not get in control of my moods or thoughts. So last year at my Gyno appointment I mentioned this bizarre experience I would have prior to my periods!
She explains PDD and prescribed Prozac. I take mine 14 days prior and every other day or every third day because it makes me feel draggy! Just depends how it affects me that month. I take it before I go to bed. Works great! New life!"


"Best advice:1.Get prescription pills & continue until side effects are unbearable,that product will clear it up best & fastest,Then switch to prescription polish. 2.Go buy electric nail file w attachments, keep thinnest & short as possible. 3.Change socks morning/night. 4.Don't share nail tools! 5. Sally's has professional liquid cleaner, blue stuff lasts year! 6.Clean infected toes PM before changing socks. 7.i switched from pills to medicated polish because of headaches & after 7 months my toe nail is clear & growing at a similar rate to others. I've read & tried all the tricks. If u follow these instructions DAILY it WILL clear up but your looking at a year. Add Epsom Salt 2 minute soak, 2-3x wk, plug bath sink,put foot in."


"I just had Implanon removed after nearly 2 years. I loved the fact that there were no more monthly pregnancy scares but hated everything else. I went from 9 stone to 11 stone without changing my eating habits and was so cranky and moody and down in the dumps. I'm surprised my husband stayed with me. But feeling so much better now even though it's only been out for 2 days. It just didn't suit me."


"Worked well in combination with xanax for 3 months then lost effectiveness"


"My husband got a very acute urtricaria on his whole body for 2 weeks. Nothing helped really to get rid of the burning patches. Benadryl caused more drowsiness then any help and additionally my husbands face was sweeling all over when taking Benadryl. Finally we got Allegra 180 mg pills. And just after the first Allegra pill all red patches on his skin and all swollen areas were gone for good as long as he keeps taking it twice a day 180 mg each tablet. This medicine is really great."


"Used this for a month and did not lose any weight. I read some reviews and did not go through any of the symptoms I saw. I gave it 2 stars because aI did notice it suppressed my appetite a little. I refilled and gave it another shot but the next month was more of the same. Went off it a few days, maybe a week, and this morning I took one......... Holy crap I feel like an ice cube. Never been this cold in my life and also been in the bathroom all day with #2 imitating a faucet. I can honestly say, soon as I get out this bed, rest of them are going in the trash. Worst $190 (2 months with discount card) I have ever spent on a weightloss gimmick. Now back to the meal plan and lots of exercise."


"BEST PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE EVER! I'm on 1mg, 3 times a day as needed for the past year. It has made my life so much better. I highly recommend trying this medicine if you feel that you need help. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, then don't take it. I give it 10 out of 10."


"Just started on week two where I take one pill in the morning and one in the evening.  In 9 days I have lost 5.6 pounds & have not a darn thing.  Granted in general I am not a huge sweets person or snacker - but trying to drop weight without starving myself or doing zero carbs - the scale wouldn't budge... Seeing the weight drop with no effort, just yet, is inspiring.  I love a nice cold beer & perhaps indulge a little too much on weekends - but I now notice I don't really care if I have a beer or not.  losing almost 6 pounds is now motivating me to start eating cleaner and get walking / start some exercise regimen. Side effects I sweat more & sleep is not that great(but I also have hyperdrosis & take adderall). Will post after week 4"


"I was on the NuvaRing for almost 3 years and had mostly great experiences with it. I had little to no spotting, and the initial three month break-in time frame was easy and I had no irregularities.  I only suffered from one issue with NuvaRing and it was a side effect I didn't realize I was suffering from until I stopped using it for the past month (I switched to Mirena).  Over the course of the almost 3 years that I was on NuvaRing, my temper started getting worse and worse.  It wasn't anything obvious, but now that I'm on Mirena I see that NuvaRing was contributing to a fair bit of moodiness (but still nowhere near the moodiness I had when on oral birth control). I would definitely recommend the NuvaRing."


"This was the most helpful antidepressant for me (previous were Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and Effexor). I was getting along with people, working out regularly, and had no side effects except for a bit of drowsiness depending on when I took it. Eventually I was diagnosed with having a bipolar component and so now I'm taking Lamictal with it. Overall a pretty potent and good medication."


"Good part, no pain!!! Taste nasty, well you can't have it all"


"I would like to know what this drug is made from. The horrible metallic taste is making me gag. I have tried everything you can think of to get rid of it. It's waking me up at night from the taste. I don't know if the H.pylori symptoms or this is worse. I have 5 days to go on this and am dreading every tablet I have to swallow. I feel it's poison."


"150 mg NuVigil does work somewhat for my depression, but the primary effects wear off after a few hours and I feel more tired than usual. It is better than any SSRI, SNRI, MAOI, atypical, or tricyclic antidepressant that I have taken."


"I have Cervical Dystonia in the right side of my face and my eye and  Mouth droop.  I have only been on this medication for 4 days and can already see small changes.  If it works like this, I'll take it forever.  I used to have such a pretty smile and now it only smiles on the left...its awful.  My nuroligist was giving me mylobloc  so now we'll try this!!  No side effects so far. Linda in Fl."


"Have diarrhea related irritable bowel syndrome and Librax CHANGED my life. The doctor who connected me with this is my angel."


"I absolutely love this medicine. ..
It seems like it's the only one that helps, it will make u sleepy and I also feel less hungry..."


"Xanax helps me cope with life. I live a pore life it gives me the nerve to do things I wouldn't do."


"I could not believe how drawing on the Nicotrol Inhaler felt like a real cigarette. I was able to finally quit by having this in my pocket and pulling it out just when absolutely needed. I used it for 2 days and that was all I needed. I had smoked for 24 years about a pack a day. I haven't smoked in 11 years."


"I owe my life to sub's I was on 360,30 milligram oxycodones a month from my pain doctor for 6 out of the last 8 years.I'm clean now 28 days on suboxone now I'm starting to feel more alive and getting my life back is awesome. Its neat to actually have real emotions back that I haven't felt in years. Its like I've been in a dream for _8 years I only hope the sub's aren't as extreme to get off when I'm ready .god bless."


"A lifesaver at night when unable to mouth breath. Only problem was I became addicted to using it! My nose became congested every-night & would only become unblocked when I used Otrivin. I had to wean myself off it."


"Obviously , the condom broke and it was 11 pm we were scared because I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 19. We were scared more than anything. But no matter what stay clam because freaking out does not help at all. We took the pill at 10 am the following morning . My period was estimated two weeks after taking the pill . My period was 3 days late but within the two weeks I did feel like throwing up like constantly. At the end the pill works it does . Not pregant and helped"


"With Crohn's and irritable bowel syndrome, trips were out of the question. My MD put me on Librax and in my opinion saved my life. I can now enjoy a meal at a restaurant then take out and eating it at home. The cramps are gone and now I'm am enjoying life as never before. Thanks to my doctor for this miracle."


"I am 34 weeks pregnant and I was prescribed Cephalexin to treat both my urinary tract infection/Bronchitis. I've taken the medicine for 5 days now and although my UTI has cleared up my lungs still sound horrible and I still have a nasty cough."


"Got Implanon in December and had it removed a couple weeks ago. I'm back on the pill and my hormones are still fluctuating so I'm waiting until I'm normal again. HORRIBLE side effects. Do not recommend!! I had it in for about 5 months and got my period twice on it (more like spotting for a week). It gave me insane acne on my face and back, terrible breast pain and swelling, the most extreme mood swings, increased my depression and anxiety x1000, gave me headaches at first, and completely wiped out my sex drive. Had pretty much every side effect except weight gain and never ending spotting. Removal was horrible, took 2 incisions to remove the stick from hell!!! PROS: never had to maintain birth control (like pills, nuvaring) and not pregnant"


"My doctor gave me this cream to use on precancerous spots on my face. She told me I could try on other spots as well. I have a large number of  keratosi (plural?) on the tops of my thighs. I decided to try it out on them. It has only been a few days and they are almost completely gone!"


"Do these SSRI's actually work for anxiety? I have tried a few over the last year with little success and horrible side effects. I took Zoloft 100mg for 3 months and noticed a very slight decrease in anxiety. As with all SSRI's I had the standard intolerable side effects including: Loss of emotions, loss of sex drive, decreased motivation, etc... I don't think SSRI's should be the 1st line of medication as personally none of them worked for me and all had intolerable side effects."


"I take the 24mg twice a day after having severe constipation post-chemo and multiple abdominal surgeries.  It takes a couple of days for it to cause a movement, but when it does, it's unbelievable how much it works!  I have felt the nausea and headaches, but didn't realize it was caused by the Amitiza.  I'm so thankful to have this medicine!"


"When I moved to Indiana I started getting migraines . My doctor prescribed imitrex 25 mg which worked beautifully as long as I took it when the migraine started. Though it still doesn't always work and I take another dose 2 hours after the 1st dose. I developed tolerance to it and now need to take 50 mg. Fortunately my migraines have slowed down to a dull roar as I've figured out my triggers. Imitrex has some annoying but mostly tolerable side effects that dissipate with use, such as feeling physically fatigued, feeling kind of drugged, trouble thinking clearly, increased blood pressure/heart rate, sometimes I feel shaky."


"69 year old male. New to statins. Have started on Atorvastatin and in the first 80 days, with no side effects, cholesterol has dropped from 258 to 179, LDL to 100, and LDL/HDL ratio to 2.2. So... success! Very pleased."


"I have terrible anxiety coupled with really bad tactile disturbances that make me feel like I just want to crawl out of my skin or slough it like a snake. My entire body, including eyes, felt like it was so dry and flakey I couldn't handle it. This med helps so much with that and now I am at least comfortable in my skin even when my anxiety is at its worst."


"After having my gallbladder removed 2 years ago I have been battling IBS-D.  I have been on Welchol for about 2 years and it's ok, not great but ok. I was taking 1 a day but I think it needs to be upped to 2. My doctor gave me Viberzi to try, I put it off for a while then finally took it. Days 1-2 were great. Days 3- 4 went down hill fast. by day 5 I was staying within 5 feet of the bathroom. I didn't realize one of the side effects was dizziness (since I have vertigo I figured my allergies were acting up), weakness & major gas. I had to stop taking it so I could actually go to work. I think I'll buy stock in Immodium. I am very disappointed this didn't work, so many people worse off then I am did well on it. It's so frustrating."


"When I took this, I took it without food, and within 45 minutes I puked it up, and had such severe abdominal pain I couldn't move and I was breathing like I was giving birth."


"I took 10mg, 3x day hydrocodone for a year prior to a new pain doc in a new state requiring I switch to Hysingla ER. I had only had one 10mg hydrocodone for each of the two days prior to beginning the Hysingla so this was not withdrawals. An hour after the 20mg pill, my heart was pounding hard, short of breath, which progressed to severe abdominal pain, nausea, the worst pain of my life (easily 2-3x my very worst days with stage 3 adhesive arachnoiditis, Ehlers-Danlos, and innumerable tarlov cysts on my spinal cord), joint pain, muscle pain and spasms, and I could literally feel my CSF pulsing in my spinal cord. The doc actually made me take a second dose because she thought I was in withdrawal. I vomited the 2nd one and nearly aspirated it"


"I started taking Latuda 4 days ago for bipolar. So far I have noticed a change in my mood. Days are brighter and I'm not hungry which is a good thing. I am still taking Lamictal, Dexedrine and Ativan. I am still having trouble with racing thoughts while asleep. I hope this will change soon."


"I take on 300mg of Gabapentin and one Trazadone one hour before bedtime with absolutely remarkable results!  20  years of chronic insomnia and trying every treatment with minimal success.  This is the miracle combination...love it!  The only side effect is vivid dreams."


"I was suffering from migraines for over a year before I sought treatment.  By then I was having one every other day.  The day I didn't have one, I was washed out and drained.  Within a week of starting propranolol, my migraines were gone.  I haven't had a single headache of any type in two months.  I also haven't had any side effects.  Well, until today.  Not really a side effect though.  I missed three pills and started getting dizzy, nauseous and headachy.  So it's actually a side effect of NOT taking my medicine."


"This medication makes me worthless man, I feel sick when I take this drug, very sick thinking, Muscle pain, suicidal thoughts sometimes, Please stop taking this drugs, if feel you feel any of these symptoms"


"I got the 3 day treatment, the first day I used it, it was hard - it burned and was itchy. About 30 minutes passed and the burning  and itch was gone, the second day it didn't bother me at all. I really am feeling better down there, I guess the burn means that it is working."


"I've tried many antidepressants before, and this seems best and with least side effects. I have been prescribed it along with duloxetine, and this combination seems to be excellent in reducing anxiety and depression to almost zero. I now take 30mg Mirtazapine before bed, and 60mg Duloxetine in the morning. I also take 0.25mg Pramipexole at bedtime to curb the restless legs syndrome and help with libido. This way sex life is not hampered by the Duloxetine. There is initially a period of adjusting to meds, weight gain, but I have so much more energy to exercise so I'm fit now. Well recommended. Starting dose for mirtazapine was 15mg, and for duloxetine 30mg."


"2nd Update: 7m 10d & I am still very happy with this med. Down 31lbs so far: started at 229lbs/36.4bmi; today at 198lbs/31.5bmi; goal is 156lbs/24.8bmi - just to get out of the “obese” range. I was inconsistent for a while (no pills while away on a 3wk vacay & only 2pills/day for a few months) & didn’t see any side effects or weight gain, just plateaued, which is good to know for when I go off this med someday. Back on the full dose for a few weeks & losing weight again. Very easy to skip a meal & hardly notice, which is where the real weight loss comes in. I don’t crave the bad foods I used to & don’t mindlessly eat. ScaleDown trial ran out (was able to keep the scale) but after a few months it was only generic info anyway & not worth it."


"I got the nexplanon after I had my daughter in 2014. I bled constant for eight months straight. I then went to sporatic periods (on one week, spot the next, nothing a few days, then BAM back to bleeding)  I have gained 30 pounds on this and can not lose it for the life of me, no diet or exercise regimen will work. Also, I have been battling depression and dissociation off and on since I got it. However,  I haven't gotten pregnant. So it definitely does it's job. But I finally am scheduled to get it out next week, one year early. I will not ever get it again. Everyone will react differently."


"Alright so I've been on 100mg of Zoloft for a while and I'm supposed to start 200mg tomorrow and I'll be honest, it's done absolutely nothing for me personally so far.. I'll be starting Risperidone and coming off this one.

I've had no side effects as well as no positive effects what so ever, it's a very weak medication, basically like drinking water. I guess if your symptoms aren't bad at all and you want an easy way out of your problems, then this could be the drug for you.

These are the symptoms I experience and trying to medicate: Hypervigilence, jumpiness, sensitivity to sudden noises (like a door slamming shut), only experience emotional ''numbness'' or anger/rage, cloudy mind, disconnection/dissociation/depersonalization, etc."


"When the doctor gave me these patches I had a a "yeah right" attitude.  I am  stunned! I applied the first patch and 3 days later I had significant pain relief! I just applied my 2nd patch and I am able to resume doing a lot of things I haven't done in years. I had side effects at first, sleepiness, shakiness, and severe nausea but they passed within the first week. I am amazed and pleased at the effectiveness of these patches."


"I have been taking it for 3 weeks and have lost 6 pounds. I was on Adipex. It has been 5 months in total and I have lost 42 pounds. I have 30 more to go. I am eating 1200-1300 calories a day, and exercising at least 3 times a week."


"Hope that my information will be read by doctors and the creators of that wonderful and reliable website. I would like to tell, that for me the Acyclovir is sometimes not working while taken as pills, but it ALWAYS works very good, when given in the form of infusions. Of course the doctor must fit the amount of the days when the drips will be given to a patient (it is usually 5-6 days up to 10 days) to the amount of the virus. But it always works - I recovered from the EBV thanks to that five times. I am a proof it always works this way."


"I've been on this medicine for 9 years now. I take one every four hours, and it is a God send. I have two ruptured discs in my back, and with it I am pain free. Over time you may become tolerant to it, and need more to get the same relief."


"I had been backed up for at least half a year when things went from bad to worse. The last two months, I was lucky to go once a week. My stool was so hard and big that it hurt to much to go. My doctor prescribed Miralax to me and it started to work a little. Then, she recommended I take two cap fulls in two cups of water instead of one in one. After a day or two, I went to go and it literally went from 100% bad to 100% great. I was not only able to go but it didn't hurt at all. It was so amazing to finally not be in pain that I literally cried. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone with that kind of constipation."


"My biggest fear with bc pills was the weight gain - I can assure you now that this does not happen & is somewhat of a myth. I'm married, been on this pill for about two plus years & haven't had any scares or issues. I get a little nausea when starting a new pack so I always take at night (my only real hang up). Never emotional, super light and predictable periods. Very happy."


"Soon after starting Micardis I suffered from dizziness, nausea, irritability and I had no energy.  It continued, then I started shortness of breath.  Was told by my doctor it was not the medication.  I went to a cardiologist and she kept me on it and put me on Imdur.  Then severe headaches occurred.  I'm now going natural and taking my chances."


"I've been on TriNessa for a year and a half now. It's prevented pregnancy, made my boobs bigger, and made my periods more regular and lighter. However, I have been severely depressed and anxious. I never realized it that it was because of TriNessa due to the fact that I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for 7 years now. However, ever since I started I have been so anxious that, at one point, I was border-line anorexic from being nauseous with no appetite, I've had severe sleep disorders that have stemmed from the anxiety and depression, and I've had serious thoughts of suicide on multiple occasions. DO NOT take TriNessa if you have a history of anxiety or depression!!!"


"I was prescribed Zithromax for an upper respiratory infection and I did not have such a good experience. The first day I had really bad diarrhea. I couldn't even leave the house. The 2nd day I was overwhelmed with nausea. I took the pill with food and still felt sick to my stomach the entire day and night. Today I have decided the terrible side effects are not worth it, and I'm not going to take the rest of my prescription."


"I had a really bad bronchitis and sinus. The doctor prescribed  me. Augmentin 875. I had some cough, but a really bad headache, I hardly ever get headaches.  These were very bad."


"I asked my doctor for a birth control because I was in a relationship and we both decided pregnancy is not in our near future and I can say Trinessa did it's part when it comes to baby making time haha. I did not break out a lot before Trinessa, but now even during the week I get my period, I have zero acne, and I am talkin no zits at all. I do not take the sugar pills during the week I am on my period because they are only there to take if you can not remember to start your birth control that Sunday, other than that they will make you gain weight. Downside I'm on like month 6 and I'm nauseous almost every time I take my pill sometimes even after I take it on a full stomach. Still regular cycle, overall I do like it besides the nausea."


"HORRIBLE went from 127 to 145 got off the pill. Lost the weight very quickly off! Makes you bloated and crazy!"


"Before I started on Singulair I would have several serious asthma flares every year requiring prednisone treatment. Since starting Singular several years ago I have only had one serious asthma flare. My allergic rhinitis is also much better controlled."


"Had to stop taking due to severe insomnia. Stopped taking and still did not sleep for four days. Worked great on my breathing problems,"


"It works that is all I can tell you it is just that it works."
