"Love this! I have been on this pill for years now and it is amazing. I use to have heavy bleeding and horrible cramps and this pill has stopped it for me. Due to being anemic and having endometriosis I am set to have my period every 6 months and I never spot in between. This pill is definitely for people who's body can handle going long terms with out a menstrual period. And you have to follow directions, taking the pill the same exact time every day and never missing a pill. Its the only way it will work properly"


"I've been on Trinessa for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. I always start my period on a Tues or Wed and only last till Sunday and very light. It is also very inexpensive. I pay $4/month for a pack. When I first started the only side effect I had was a little bit of weight gain (3-4lbs). It definitely helped clear up my skin but I do get the occasional zit here and there. I still have a little bit of cramping before my period but doctor says that is normal and no pill can really prevent that. Just the natural part of the body. I haven't had any changes with side effects over the years and it has definitely done its job of preventing pregnancy. I would highly recommend it to others!"


"Okay so I'm 23 and I've never had a YI until thus past week. I purchased monistat 3. The 1st night was like hell. I had intense burning n itching. I called my mom n she said it's nothing to worry about and that she had similar experiences. So I suffered thru it n fell asleep. 2nd night I didn't experience burning like the 1st night but it did itch like crazy. I'm on my 3rd right now n I have a very mild itch. I'm praying this works. I knew YI were no fun but I didn't expect it to be a living hell. I will be back to say if it cured or not."


"This product does not work very well at all in low dose. I took it the first night and got some sleep. After that, no effect. I don't wake up in the middle of the night, I just can't go to bed and go to sleep unless I am up most early am hours."


"Been on 8mg of Rapaflo for five days. Diagnosed with moderate Benign Prostate Hyperplasia but a PSA score of 0.8. So we don't assume cancer. Rapaflo has worked well for me, increased flow, more complete emptying and a full night of sleep. Side effects were dry orgasm but no loss of sexual desire or capability and a stuffy nose/sinus-type headache easily managed with a routine OTC sinus medicine."


"Why on earth would Brlinita be approved for heart patients when shortness of breathe is a side affect. A pretty sick joke. I was not amused and told the doctor I would not continue taking it, regardless what the drug rep said of the side affect potentially leaving in a few days."


"I inserted this around 12AM last night. It's now 5:55AM & I've been up since 4:48AM.  My vag is on fire and this pain is too much. I've been back and forth to the bathroom, putting the cream and coconut oil down there. Why does it burn so badly? The pain from the Monistat is worse than the actual yeast infection itself. I just need some rest, God. I have class in about 2 more hours, but if this doesn't clear up... I'm taking an absence."


"Still have a lot of pain"


"I use to get bladder infections all the time but this time was BY FAR the worst I've ever experienced. I managed to get myself into a walk-in and they prescribed me macrobid. The first pill I took -- along with cranberry juice, made me feel 80% better. By the third day taking macrobid, I felt 100% better. Definitely take it with a meal though, I took it with something small because I was in a rush and I felt very weak and nauseous."


"I've been on Microgestin for about 6 months and it's worked very well for me. Light periods, no problems with acne, no cramps, not even mood swings nor drastic change in libido. Highly recommended."


"I'm on the 2nd week of my 2nd pack and so far I see little to no change in my acne, it's made me get minor menstrual cramps at times not even close to my period, but lightened up my period alot! I have some pretty intense mood swings, and a bit of nausea, probably going to switch since this isn't helping me and making me grumpy and depressed 24/7"


"I am now on Day 20 of 20mg Citalopram.  I am now feeling a little better.  Still anxious at times although most of the side effects are slowly disappearing.  Still quite low mood at times and a agoraphobic unfortunately.  I visited my GP today and we have agreed that I should carry on for another four weeks.  He now says that 7 - 8 weeks is the norm for the medication to totally kick in yet he said 1 - 3 in the beginning!  I will keep taking the medication.  I have found taking the pill at night has helped me.  Also reading the reviews here have given me some hope."


"I've been on Arimidex for 4 years.  Side effects are insomnia, joint pain, painful sex or no interest in sex, forgetfulness, anxiety and depression.  One year to go and hopefully I will not have to take it.  Maybe still on it because of a family history of breast cancer."


"I've been on Lamictal for three years for Bipolar disorder and Epilepsy, at first as a mood stabilizer and then as an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer.  It's been excellent at treating the bipolar issues, virtually eradicating the mood episodes (with the exception of a couple of days of minor hypomania here and there) and helping a little bit with the coexisting anxiety issues.   However, it hasn't been any good at controlling my seizures, although it's made them a lot less severe than they were before I went on higher doses of Lamictal.  I haven't had any major side effects, or any at all outside of an increased sensitivity to rashes."


"I just reached day 28. I have insomnia and the occasional stomach ache.  I do have the occasional "vivid dream" but not too much out of the ordinary. I was a pack  a day smoker for about 10 years. Since the end of week one I have had maybe 4 cigarettes. By day seven I was down to 4 a day. This worked great for me and I plan on taking it till month three then I'm going to go it on my own."


"Latuda has changed my life.  I've been treated with everything under the sun since I was 20 years old.  Within days of taking the Latuda I felt like a normal person.  I don't know if I EVER felt so genuinely happy, light-hearted, motivated to make life changes.  It's like a miracle.  I don't experience any side effects.  I don't feel tremendously hungry either, as I have with other anti psychotics.  I only hope it continues to keep my bipolar at bay.

"


"I've never been on any form of birth control before, and my doctor recommended minastrin 24 fe as a starting basis. I was a Sunday starter (which I found helpful, I always never know which day of the week it is), and for the first three days it was fine. But then, my period lasted for two weeks (tmi part: ultra heavy, and I'm usually a regular tampon kind of person), I got HORRIBLE mood swings, I felt depressed, and just always so angry. I had the worst cramps, and I usually don't get cramps during my periods. I don't recommend this brand, but that's my personal experience and ice read other similar comments."


"Horizant has given me back my sleep!  I take one 600mg tablet at dinnertime and am able to rest without the crazy leg and arm movements that I've suffered throughout the night with for years.  I wake up feeling fine and not groggy or tired.  Thanks Doc!"


"I have had back surgery on my L5S1 and am still in severe pain in my lower spine and permanent nerve pain. Norco worked short term for me. They took me off hydrocodone 10/650 because of acetaminophen in it. The Norco is 325 but the Norco did not last as long and did not seem to take away pain as well. I have switched back to hydrocodone 10/650"


"I deal with diverticulitis every 9 to 12 months. CT over the past 15 years keep showing mild diverticulitis as they call it but when it hits it feels nothing like mild! Nasty lower left abdominal pain . Sometimes I get a fever. Now my dr. Just put me on antibiotics as soon as I get symptoms because I always go into the fever eventually . Yes going on this for  7 to 10 days can give you diarrhea.  I found quite a while ago since probiotic yogurt came out as long as I eat lots of that I rarely get diarrhea now. And since you should be on  liquid and very soft food diet anyway just switch yourself and eat nothing but probiotic yogurt and soups while you're taking this stuff.  always take it with a meal too. And no alcohol!"


"I was on this for a little over a year, as a birth control it worked, however I would get 2-3 week long periods that were awful! Or I would be on my period for about a week it would stop 4 days then start again. My acne didn't get any worse but I did randomly get depressed, especially for about the first 3 months mood swings like crazy. I'm sure it works great for some people I was just not on of them."


"This is my first night using monistat 7. I can tell you that the itching was so irritating...almost unbearable. But, after about 15 or so minutes, it subsided. I do still have itching, but it's much better. I'm hoping it gets better and everything gets back to normal down there"


"I wouldnt recommend nexplanon to anyone unless you want to gain weight. I bleed every other week for about 6 months but then it stopped and i didnt have a cylce for the next 2 in a half years. Never got pregnant which was the best part about this birth control! But my mood swings were horrible and i gained 30 pounds in a 3 yr period. I always worked out and ate a good diet but the weight would not get off of me. I finally got it removed and ive lost the entire 30 pounds i lost."


"I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, bulging discs, nerve damage in both hands, both knees "going out" and bursitis in both hips and I'm only 28 years old. I have been on Lortabs 10/500 and Oxycodone 20mg for years, but they never lasted long enough for my chronic pain. So my doctor tried me on MS Contin 100mg 2 x daily and then Lortab 10/325 for breakthrough pain. WOW, what a difference that was, my pain was more under controlled and I was getting more sleep and was able to do some of the things I used to enjoy."


"I have been on Chantix now for 2 weeks.  I smoked a pack a day for 40 years without ever quitting.  I stopped smoking July 26 and have been smoke free now for 7 days.  I'm thrilled that I'm able to stop.  It's difficult, but the side effects are worth going through for a while; having an oxygen tank and cancer would be worse.  I'm having nausea, weird dreams, depression, little energy, dry mouth, headaches.  Go with the flow; the symptoms will pass eventually.  What's good, my hair and clothes don't smell, I have more time on my hands to live life more fully without a monkey on my back that is a killer."


"My #1 prayer is that someone will read this BEFORE they put this poison in their body referred to as Mirena. I had the IUD put in after my Implanon was removed (btw, Implanon was incredible, for me. But my OB insisted I got Mirena). I had it in for about 5 years, yes my periods were light but sex sucked; it was painful during and after, I was never "in the mood". I gained about 50 pounds, grew depressed obviously. Usually athletic and excited to work out, I became super tired and lazy all of the time. It took a toll on my relationship, I don't even see why he stayed with me (but he's amazing ☺)! About a month ago I got the IUD removed. It was a short, sweet procedure and I instantly felt better (just knowing it was out of me gave me so much satisfaction). I was on a light period when it was removed and it eventually ended as normal.... one month later I started my period again (normal). But I have been bleeding since, it's been about 3.5-4 weeks. And if I'm not "bleeding" I have brown discharge (looks like dried up blood). I feel crummy and I long for normalness! I felt as if I have taken 5 steps forward, getting it removed, just to take ten steps back! Don't do it! At this point I wouldn't advise bc at all but obviously people use it for other reasons besides getting pregnant. Nevertheless, the hormonal imbalance and emotional toll is not worth it! I pray after all of this I can even conceive another child. I don't know this for a fact: but I feel like there's got to be some kind of extra financial gain for OBs when they insert Mirena. Do what is best for you and don't be afraid to say no, or ask every question you need to... I wish I would've. Best wishes, ladies!"


"Have had psoriasis for 42 years, legs, arms, trunk. Afraid to take biologics because of side effects. Started Otezla and started clearing patches up on arms and trunk after 6 weeks, had light headaches and loose stools for couple weeks but subsided. I've been on it for 15 months and it's not clearing up any more if my skin. It seems stalled after starting out so well. I thought it was finally the miracle for psoriasis, but doesn't seem to be. The maker of Otezla actually pays for mine 100% and I have insurance that would not cover it at first but they will now."


"I've always been on the pill when I had my eldest then I went on the depo after I had my youngest who is 3 years old, I came off it September 2014 to try for another baby and had my period January 2015 and conceived my son (my last baby) in March 2015 and then I was put on the mini pill. When I had him and I was bleeding everyday that I've been on the pill so I decided to finish it and wanted to go back on the depo.  I've had the depo 2 weeks now and I've only bled twice since been on it so its not an issue, it all varies with different people and not everyone has bleeding but for me its perfectly fine."


"I'm a 19 year old female and my skin was perfect until I turned about 17. Then it still wasn't too bad, a couple of pimples every now and then. It started to get worse over the last couple of months, mild acne, so I was prescribed doxycycline 50mg once daily. I have been on it for three weeks now and my skin is worse than it has ever been. My face is covered in huge red sore bumps and I have scarring everywhere. I wake up with at least three new pimples a day. I am about to give up on this stuff because it has made my skin 10 times worse than it ever was. I have heard it gets worse before it gets better but I've read it usually only takes 2-3 weeks to see improvement but it doesn't look like it will be getting better anytime soon."


"Just want to start by stating my skin type..I get bad breakouts & that's  why I am on Duac. I'd say I have "normal"skin as it doesn't tend to be dry or oily. I would describe my acne as not extremely severe, it can flare up pretty bad & when it's at it's worst, it can sometimes actually hurt *To the point* I'm on this product a few months now.  After about a month or so I THOUGHT it was working, but my breakouts are still happening just as bad, it does not prevent them at all!! Now, I've a bad breakout for the past week & a half and it hasn't helped all that much. I use Duac at night time because I find that's what suits me best..I have a strict night time routine..I cleanse, moisturise and then apply my Duac. It flakes so bad!! Will be discontinuing."


"this medicine saves my life when I'm having a panic attack. wish I could take this every day but it's addictive and I'm told to only take as needed. I also have IBS and this makes everything go away. when I take this I never have IBS I can eat whatever I want no worries and sleep amazing!! I'm starting Paxil as my every day and this just as needed so we will see how that goes. lorazepam saved my life though"


"My daughter was prescribed Clozaril as a last resort because I refused to allow her to be admitted to a state hospital. Every other med combination had been tried for 5 years during which she was constantly psychotic, in and out of the hospital. That was nearly 3 years ago and she improves in  tiny increments every day. We have learned a great deal during this 8 years: that most psychiatrists don't understand how to treat mental illness because most they don't believe in neurotransmission disorders. They really think "behavioral health" is about poor choices caused by emotional trauma. Clozaril is the only effective med and it is used as a last resort in the USA. The shame is that it is a front line "gold standard" med in Great Britain."


"I've had stints of anxiety and depression throughout my life. It got much worse when I got to college. It took me two years until my family and friends wanted me to seek help. My doctor put me on 10mg of Celexa a day and I felt it the first day! Felt so much better and more productive. I'm back to my normal self and not scared/sad to experience the things I used to enjoy."


"This medicine "helps"...it is not a cure-all. My biggest side effect is I CAN'T SLEEP...Thankfully this passes after a few weeks. Overall, I have found this medicine to be helpful."


"This worked well as I did not get pregnant.  However,  I got my period every 2 to 3 weeks and it would last for about 2 weeks.  Also,  Pre-Implanon I was about 120, by the time I took it out (3years) I was up to 155.  I took it out and the weight just fell off."


"After trying every type of insomnia medicine, this is the only medication that has worked for me. I don't notice any side effects. It isn't perfect. I still have sleepless nights sometimes; but those are nothing compared to the insomnia I was dealing with before."


"I had this in the hospital after a hysterectomy when I was vomiting from the anesthesia for 3 days afterward. It did absolutely nothing to stop my nausea. I was given it repeatedly even though I told them it was completely ineffective. I had both shots and pills."


"I have been on Risnia/Risperdal for a few years now. Currently on a dosage of 2mg of the generic Risnia. As an answer to Bipolar Disorder with psychotic features this drug works wonders and I have been without relapse for 3 years now. My biggest frustration however is the weight gain. I have put on 8 kg during this time and I eat like a bird. I have tried a number of diets and exercise 3-4 times per week.  My psychiatrist mentioned slightly decreasing the dosage every second day and see if that helps. I will try this as soon as I get a new script with 1mg pills. Can anyone recommend a good alternative?"


"Did not cause lack of sexual interest (gave it back to me) and I felt better from day one."


"I'm going to give this a 6 on the review scale. This is because I am only on my third day. So far I have had a CRAZY HIGH sex drive. I have had a couple of pimples pop up but not as bad as the reviews I've seen. There's also been some minor cramping but I just got off of my period before starting so that could be it. I will do another review after a month of being on this pill. But so far so good"


"I started taken one 25mg topiramate two days ago, Wednesday June 28th, with one 37.5 mg of phentermine tablet, 1/x daily.  June 28th Starting weight 225.1 on Friday June 30th, which was 2 days later, I'm 217lbs I've dropped 8.1 lbs in 2 day. OMG! I'm praying this continues to work out for me because I need/want to lose 58+lbs. I've really struggled with my weight for the past 7 years, On and off different diets, going to gym, personal trainer etc... my doctor wants my body to stay in ketosis. I know I can do this!"


"I have been on sertraline for 4 weeks and a day, my dr started me on 50mg, then after 3 weeks and 3 days she upped my dosage to 100mg, I have felt the side effects so I know this medication is doing something, however, I don't feel any better for taking it, I thought by now it would kick in.."


"Took one 50mg tablet as directed and I have never felt so iIl. Had to get down on the floor, could not lift my head off the floor, felt like I was going to pass out and felt nauseous.  Had diarrhoea; pins and needles in hands; hot flushes - the most unpleasant side effects. Could only lay in bed and even then the room was spinning. Took 24 hours to feel normal again."


"previously on pills and they were driving me mad and not working (severe headaches and cramps) so I decided to try the coil, afterall if it doesnt work I can get it removed. The first week was fine, I did end up with severe cramps but my doctor booked me in for a scan and checked it was fine which it was and we just put the cramps down to my body adjusting to the coil.

I had very light periods for around two/three months and then my periods completely stopped and have done ever since. i still have very mild cramps but nothing like what i had on the pill, I'm really happy with the mirena and would recommend but you need to be aware its not for everyone but worth a try!!!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have been on this medicine for three days for treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness that is not helped by proper use of CPAP. Previously I have struggled to stay awake at work and I am very happy to report that this medication has helped me to stay awake quite nicely with no trouble falling asleep at night. I am currently taking the 100 mg dose."


"I was prescribed with epiduo 1.5 weeks ago and at first it was already getting significantly better but then about a week ago, I started to get sunburned and flakiness on my face. My acne has also gotten worse. So I am currently hoping that in about a week it will start to get better"


"Was doing pretty well on Trileptal but was not happy with weight gain from AAPs. Greedily decided to ask my Dr to switch me from Trileptal to Topamax in hopes of some weight loss. There was none. I'm thinking this may be one of those meds that just doesn't work with me genetically. Was taking 50mg twice a day, and it was not doing a thing for my weight or moods.  It was scary. The anger, irritability, crying, brain fog. I was scared of ending up in the psych ward, so I went back to my Trileptal and left the Topamax behind. Quit it cold turkey after getting back to my regular Trileptal dose. Mentally and emotionally, I'm already feeling better, however, I am having some terrible muscle aches and nausea from quitting the Topamax."


"I was prescribed effexor on Monday and I have had the worst experience with it.  Its now Saturday and I can't sleep for more than like 2 hours at a time I can't eat and I feel so foggy worst experience ever"


"Been on Ambien for 10 years and it is not as effective any longer. Dr prescribed Trazodone. I took 100 mg and nothing. I took 150mg and again nothing. The third night I took 200 and it made me feel drugged. I also had a very dry mouth and nose stuffy. Waves of nausea and hot body temp all night. I did not sleep but felt out of it all night. Next day I am still foggy and no motivation. Will not take this again."


"This birth control has no copay under my insurance and it works great for my needs."


"I was on the 4 mg for 8 days when I had started experiencing shortness of breath and hives on both sides of my neck. The medication itself worked but I apparently was allergic to an ingredient."


"As an antacid,  I allow one caplet 311mg. caplet to slowly dissolve in my mouth before bedtime.  Although the use instructions say to chew up to 4 caplets for use as an antacid, by allowing a single caplet to slowly dissolve, less MoM is needed and it seems to work better.  Its also better for me than liquid because the dose is more accurately controlled and when the caplet is allowed to slowly dissolve."


"I wrote a review as R2lls on March 13, 2017. This is an update!

I couldn't be happier with my choice. Within the first 30 day of insertion. I only had 2 days of random spotting. I Had my first regular cycle mid April. It was like clockwork. Regular cramps and no horrible side effects. It is now month 2 for me. I literally just finished my cycle, it was 4 days with a light flow. So my cycle was definitely shorter and lighter than normal with kyleena. The worst experience I've had is a random cramp that felt like someone had stabbed me in the butt. I couldn't walk comfortably but as soon as I got some ibuprofen I was fine. Aside from that I have had no issues. Honestly kyleena was a great choice for me."


"Worst experience I've had with a drug.  Nausea, loss of appetite, unable to work....culminated in a visit to the emergency room today."


"I have had chronic sinusitis for the better part of 10 years now off and on. It really gets bad as spring changes over to summer as well as summer over to fall. I have taken several different antibiotics over the years and the sinusitis keeps coming back stronger the next year. So I just started the 7 day ZPak yesterday for the first time and just took the second days dosage. Much like most of the other reviews on this site, I am experiencing some minor diarrhea as well as flatulence. Which, in my opinion, can be a deadly combination for a new pair of white boxer briefs!

I have not noticed any other side effect as of yet but again I am only on the second day. I will tell you that I am feeling much livelier right now and gained motivation"


"Best birth control!!!!!!!No problems, no period for over 4 years now...No complaints. Never been pregnant!!Hooray!"


"Have chronic Lyme disease - causing depressed immune function. Ceftin eliminated my urinary tract infection in one week without any side reactions.  Felt better after first dose.  Love this medication!"


"As of today it has been 260 days since I began Invokana 100mg and d/c 5 insulin shots a day!
For the most part I have done exceptionally well with this med. I tried another brands. It was a nightmare. My endocrinologist appeals every few months to get insurance to pay. The difference is a complete turn around from my first diagnosis in in October 2016 on Halloween- no treat and vile trick. I actually started to feel like a real person again. Invokana is my Holy Grail. I can even cheat and still keep A1C at 5. The past few months I have been freaking out since I noticed I was losing my hair. Would I do it all over again? Yes. The hair loss is most concerning. I fear it will not cease. I do not want to go back to 5 shots a day."


"Only pain med that has worked consistantly for a long period of time but you must be careful. If being outside in sun it must be covered to prevent over dose because heat will increase output.

Worked best for me with a low dose and using methadone for breakthrough but most Dr's wont prescribe methadone because of stigma associated with its normal use but had my pain level to around 3. Roxycodone can only get me to 6 at best."


"Fluoxetine is pretty gentle compared to most other anti-depressant medicines. I had a good response from Zoloft almost 20 years ago, and when I had breakthrough depression I was switched to Effexor. Effexor worked but was prohibitively expensive. Then I was finally stated on Prozac(fluoxetine). I had zero side effects during the first week--which was vastly different from my experience with the other two--and at 40mg/day fluoxetine seems just as efficacious. Fluoxetine has worked well for my panic, depression, and general anxiety. One must give it time to work. For people that are really struggling six weeks can seem a lifetime, but for many that is how long it takes for fluoxetine to 'work'."


"I previously used Epiduo and I absolutely loved it. It really helped keep my skin clear, and while some people have had issues with over drying or flaking, I find that it brings my skin to a 'normal' state and I just have to use a mild moisturizer (CeraVe is my personal preference). Anyway, when I ran out I couldn't get back to the dermatologist right away I started breaking out again. So, you do have to be really consistent with it. Put it on every night! You will see results. I just got a new bottle three days ago, and already my acne is less red and noticeably smaller. Love this product."


"So far it's great. I sleep a full eight hours. No side effects as of yet"


"I miscarried at almost 3 months June 16th. A Dr felt I should get depo to prevent another pregnancy to soon and to stabilize my uterus. My period Started again July 26th Around the First of August I began putting on weight seemingly overnight. When I got my next period all hell broke lose. I began bleeding on and off. Some days light so days heavy. Some days brownish some days bright red and it has not stopped until now. Early October and I've gained about 13 pounds. I've been doing at home exercises to keep from getting to big and it has helped. It's October 6th and the bleeding has greatly diminished and seems to be stopping. So I've been bleeding for 2 months. I did not go back to get a second shot which was due Mid September. No more for me"


"I feel like I'm dying right now! I want to cry and get all of this stuff out of me. It hurts so bad and I have no clue if I will sleep at all tonight."


"I have suffered silently with bi polar 2 ADHD and PTSD for about 15 years. After debilitating depression and anxiety I finally went to get help. I am only on my 4th day with 300mg 3x daily but the difference in my life is HUGE! I actually sleep at night which is so rare, and my days are spent enjoying my kids instead of sitting on the couch all day. I have had so little anxiety, I forgot what it has felt like to not constantly have a feeling of dread. It is incredible. I do hope that this is a forever feeling! The total for this medication was $93.98 my out of pocket after my insurance was $7.00"


"I found no relief with Lyrica, used it only a few weeks."


"I'll make this as brief as possible:

This drug isn't putting a dent on ceasing tumor progression in me. Unfortunately, the intravenous chemo [Abraxane] I was on had plateaued and was no longer effective. I have no idea what I will be going on next."


"Isopropranolol is magic. Im a senior biochemistry student (straight As). One problem: during presentations,I shake I blush i have this huge blank in my head and don't even remember what i'm talking about. On the day of the presentation I was nervous all throughout the day heart was pumping loud and fast. I took one pill around an hour before the presentation. I did feel light headed the first 30 mins but it was a nice feeling. My heart kept pumping loudly, but at a very slow rate, which i guess is what this pill does. My presentation went so smoothly and i was calm and able to offer a solid explanation for 25 minutes. Everybody loved it and i was so calm and confident! The pill is magic.."


"My experience has being great. I have lost about 20 pounds in 2 months. Side effects: just mild nausea if I don't  eat, loss of appetite. Glucose levels of 107 in the mornings vs 160. I do have the bumps on the injection sites. I chose my belly but I think I need to change sites. I am really happy with the results and would not change it for anything else. I was having a really hard time losing weight before and now it became really easy. My doctor also put me on a lactose free diet and it s working wonders for me. No more upset stomach or bloating."


"It's been 4 months since I have Nexplannon inserted. I don't remember when was the last time I had my period.
The only problem with this birth control is that I'm so moody and I sweat for no reason I hate it. My husband jokes about my moods sometimes , he says I'm going crazy. I don't know what to do to help my mood."


"I used XYZAL, and it made my eyes burn, gave me a migrane, and I was dizzy all the time.  This drug did not work for me."


"I was on mirapex for RLS for about 11 years.  At first it RLScgot much worse.  I had uncontrolled arm and leg movement when relaxed or sleeping.  I did not get sleep.  Finally went to a neurologist.  He started me on 300mg of Gabapentin and worked up to 1200mg at night and 300mg at morning and afternoon.  Then I started to reduce mirapex.  I went through severe withdrawal for 5 days and moderate for another 5 days.  I now can sleep and the uncontrolled movement is minimal.  My neurologist said that mirapex was the cause of my worsening condition"


"This medication has done nothing to help my spasms and pain due to a car accident. Advil works better. I'm in so much pain and can not get in to a pain specialist for weeks. This medication is going in the trash."


"Helps dry eye - but generates Terrible long-lasting bitter taste in the mouth, that stays for 4-6 hours or even more) and makes Every food or drink taste bad.
I called Shire and they know that this is an effect of the drug - but they have no Idea what causes it or how to counter it. So - we cannot even know for sure that this is not a long-lasting damage to the taste bud or to any other important function. The longest clinical trials were for 12 months. Thus any long-lasting damage is not known. The thought is troublesome and so is that bitter taste."


"So far the only side effects I am having are headaches, nausea and moodiness. It has kept me from wanting a cigarette. I have only had 8 in two days."


"I started this birth control in November of 2013, waited about a month and a half before I started having sex and it protected me. I stopped in mid-March and got back on it two weeks later right after my period. Then 12 days after I started taking it again, I had unprotected sex and I was so scared I was pregnant but I'm NOT. It's best to start taking this birth control RIGHT after your period or during your period, you will be fully protected. Only side effects were the weight gain because my appetite increased. Other than that I was good. Light periods that last about 1-2 days also."


"My mood improved significantly with Lexapro. No anxiety or panic attacks whatsoever. However after about a week on it, I had severe diharrea. I literally was afraid to eat."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 FE since July of 2011 and I must say I haven't noticed any weight gain or anything. I think my breasts have gotten bigger though but that could be just because I'm a growing 17 year old girl. No complaints though besides I hate how my periods come at random times."


"I received 1 gram in each hip once per week for 3 weeks to knock out an infection I had.  It's been a month since my last injection.  I think I can still feel the 6 lumps in my hips, but it knocked out the infection. "


"I am only on day three of this medication and the annoying itchiness has mostly subsided. However, I am a big girl who usually never experiences any harsh side effects with medicine. Yet this makes me very drowsy and cloudy most of the day. Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL ON THIS MEDICATION. DON'T. It is very dangerous. I didn't think about it on my first day and had one margarita and two beers (which normally, would only give me a slight buzz). I left the party bc I was feeling very tired. By the time I got home you would have though I had been taking shots all night, I felt so intoxicated. I passed right out when I hit the sheets. Very scary."


"I got Nexplanon inserted February 12. I had my period since January 25. I decided to try Nexplanon because the Depo Provera gave me mood swings and longer periods. I have had my period now for almost 7 weeks. I dont know if its because of the Depo or if its also the Nexplanon. I have gained 7Lbs since starting this. Its been great for birth control but that may because I havent had sex."


"I needed three treatments two years ago (one week between each treatment), but the biggest problem is the dosage. This tiny bottle barely cover my scalp and does not reach anything near half-way down my 30" hair. Length and thickness of hair should be factors in the amount prescribed. I think the bugs just ran down to dryer hair to escape the poison. Still, it worked better than OTC meds, which did nothing at all for the strain of lice I had. The directions I was given said to use half a bottle then use the other half a week later. A full bottle didn't even dampen my hair; half a bottle would have been less than useless."


"Lexapro has SAVED my life! I was struggling with extreme Irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, took every medicine for it. Lexapro was the only thing that has helped me. I now feel like a normal person! If you are struggling with IBS please give Lexapro a try. I take 10 mg once a day... but START AT HALF THE DOSE, I started at 5mg for two weeks then went up to the 10 mg. This eliminated getting bad side effects, the only side effect I got was a little nausea for the first couple of days but then it went away.

Good luck to everyone, I hope Lexapro will help you all as much as it has helped me."


"I stayed on this medicine for about 3 months. I started on 5mg and worked to 10mg. I loved the way I feel on it but I cannot deal with the nausea it causes. Usually about 15 minutes after taking it the nausea sets in for about an hour to 2 hours. Some issues with decreased libido but other than that I had no other side affects. I finally ask my doctor to switch me to a different medicine due to the upset stomach."


"I've been taking Siberian ginseng for a week three times a day as I am peri menopausal. I've been experiencing brain fog for nearly a year and complete lack of energy. Having done some research ginseng is recommended for these reasons when trying to tackle the dreaded menopause and I must say today is one of the first days I feel like my old self. I've also combined this with evening primrose oil 3 times a day and calcium supplements and I'm aware I'll probably have to do this for the remainder of my life but it's worth it to future proof my brain and bones and protect my family from my awful mood swings and depression! Definitely worth a try"


"it definitely kept me awake. It helped with the cough but no matter what I did I could not get to sleep."


"My experience started out pretty good with sronyx and to be honest the bad trickled in so subtly that I didn't even realize anything had gone wrong until it hit me full force.
My periods used to be 2-4 months apart, but extremely painful when they finally hit.
Sronyx eventually started to fix that, although my first 2 packs I bled constantly all the way through until it stopped.
I went from an average 76 day cycle to now a 17 day cycle and every period that number gets lower.
My anxiety got out of control to the point where I needed professional help and I became physically ill with migraines and nausea that required hospital.
I have stopped taking the pill today and will be seeing my doctor first thing.
It's not worth it."


"Celexa changed my life!! I went from being constantly worried/ anxious to feeling calm and capable all the time! Even my coworkers noticed how much better I handled stress and how relaxed I seemed. At first I did experience side effects such as stomach upset, difficulty achieving orgasm and sleep troubles but all of these ceased over the first month. The only side effect I still have is I am slightly more somnolent during the day, but it is well worth it for the positive effects. I didn't gain weight either! I wish I had gone on this med years ago."


"I was on Pentasa for 19 years but every time I had a colonoscopy the crohn's was progressing.  I finally ended in the hospital with a severe inflammation.  I was told by 2 GI docs that the Pentasa was probably not working but back in 1997, except for 6mp they really had no other alternative.  2 months ago I switched to Humira.  Many more side effects than Pentasa however."


"I am a 41 year old female. I started getting a lot of panic attacks back in March 07, to the point I was in ER. They ran tests and found out it was panic/anxiety disorder. So I started taking clonazepam 0.5 at first 2-3 times daily and slowly worked up to 2 mg 3 times a day. Then it was finally working correctly on me. I have been on 2 mg 3 times a day for a year and 2 years total on it and it does work but warning - if you are relaxing in a chair watching TV, etc., you will fall asleep for a couple hours if you're not careful. At times, it makes me a bit sleepy but that could be the anemia I have too. "


"Worked well on my cough. Did not suppress it completely which was a good thing since I was coughing up so much phlegm. Was able to rest on the medication. However if I took it during the day I found myself wanting to nod off and if I would not let myself sleep I would get a little dizzy."


"I have just started taking Nuvigil for a few days now. For the last few years I have been taking medicines to calm me down and ease my stress levels. I felt like I was a walking zombie most of the time when I was awake, but most of the time I just slept. I can't believe how amazing this medicine is, the cloudiness is gone I feel like Rip Van Winkle when he finally woke up. Wow!"


"Only rx that actually worked for coughing. Finally able to get some sleep without that sinus irritation in throat making me cough and cough."


"If you want depression, worsened anxiety, WEIGHT GAIN, and moodiness (which I highly doubt anyone would) get it. From personal experience, I would highly recommend against it."


"Previfem kept me from getting pregnant, so that's great, but it gave me awful, painful, 2+ week long withdrawal bleeds. I would start bleeding right in the middle of my active pills, almost two full weeks before my placebo pills started. The bleeding  didn't really let up until the placebo pills were gone. It wasn't minor bleeding, either; it was heavy and accompanied by cramps/backaches. I would get migraines here and there, too, ranging in severity. I thought these symptoms would let up eventually, but I took it for three months with no luck.

Personally, I just couldn't deal with the excessively long withdrawal bleeds. I switched over to Microgestin Fe 1/20 after three cycles and have had a much better experience so far."


"This medication has worked well for me in terms of controlling my anxiety and fear of having a panic attack.  However the side effects I have had to endure are not so pleasant.  I'm always tired and can sleep all day long.  As well, I have gained weight on this medication and trying to lose it is very hard.  It's like my metabolism has stopped working. I've been on this medicine for about 3 years now and considering weening off to try something else."


"I have been on Lexapro for just about 3 years. I was first diagnosed with both depression and anxiety my sophomore year of high school, after I had missed weeks of school due to these conditions. After just the first week on Lexapro I felt better. Eventually, I had to have my dosage raised as I started to feel anxious/depressed again. I'm now a freshman in college, and couldn't be happier with what Lexapro has done for me. I'm actually studying to be a psychiatric nurse to help people like myself, with mental disorders."


"I am a 60 year young male who is a marathon runner, ( 12 ) in my 50's and was surprised to learn of my weakening bone condition. Thanks to the excellent care from the staff at University and help from Lilly Pharmaceuticals. I have been using Forteo for 14 months and have had no negative side effects. I go for a new bone density scan on 3/09/09 to measure the results. I am always expecting the best, I am training for a marathon and running regularly. I would rather wear out than rust out. Good Luck."


"I've had nexplanon since July of 2016. I had it inserted a month after I had my baby. I think I bled for an additional month and that's not including my post partum bleeding, so I was going to get it removed but my doctor prescribed me 800mg ibuprofin and I was instructed to take 1 three times a day for 5 days and it stopped my bleeding, then the same thing happened a few months later and I did the same thing. It's convenient but my mood swings are a horrendous!  I feel bad for my loved ones seriously.. I'm constantly walking around with a brick on my shoulder !!!"

"I do think it's important to note that Jolessa is NOT Seasonique. Jolessa is the generic form of SEASONALE and NO, they are not the same! Seasonale's last week is comprised of placebo, "sugar", pills. Have been on Jolessa for 4 years and LOVE it! No acne, no weight gain and no spotting! Been on birth control in general for about 7 years now. Wouldn't be on anything else!"


"I was on victoza for 3 months and got really sick. Dr took blood and my lipase and amylase numbers were off the chart. He told me I had pancreatitis. I will never take this drug again. I have never been that sick ever."


"I have neuropathic pain, seizures and bipolar disorder all which can be treated by Gabapentin.  At first it seemed like I wasn't taking anything but after getting on 3600mg/day it has really improved my life.  My pain is tolerable, the simple-partial seizures are well managed and I am calm all the time.  It took a large dose to work for me but I am glad I tried it.  My only complaint is that if I stand up quickly I get dizzy.  But relative to everything else I don't mind."


"I have been using Benicar for about a year now and it is great. It is one of those medicines that I can't TELL I'm taking. No real side effects, I was taking it at night before I went to bed but I was waking up to go to the bathroom a lot. Now I take it mid morning and I still have to go to the bathroom a lot but at least it isn't waking me up. On the days I forget I realize it because I'm not going to the bathroom 1/2 as much as when I do. For whatever that's worth. Great medication though and glad I started after being very resistant about going to the doctor."


"The only reason I gave it a 9 is because I can tell immediately if I miss a dose because it is as if my depression returns full fold as far as crying, irritability, anger and deep sadness. I use something else-Wellbutrin & Xanax bid for my anxiety. I have been on many anti-depressants and have dealt with PTSD and MDD since dx when 19. Probably had it prior but I was dx when I got to college because I was an A student who could not function. I tried this because my alternating Lexapro and Celexa (not at the same time) was no longer working and I am so happy that my NP found it. I had some tummy issues at first but they were gone after the first three weeks and I already have insomnia so that has not changed. I am the young Me again."


"I got Kyleena inserted on 4/20 for my extremely painful periods. Yes, the day of insertion was hell on earth. The 2 cramps that occurred during the insertion were the worst pains I have ever felt. Tears ran down my face, I became white as a sheet, & almost passed out (I also took 800mg of ibuprofen 40 minutes prior). The nurse brought me water, & I was ok to get up and walk to my car after 5-7 minutes of laying down. Buy the heating pads that stick inside your underwear! They are a life saver. Those, ibuprofen, hot tea, & a snuggly boyfriend were very helpful. I had cramps & spotting for 2 days after & have not had any symptoms since except for some minor rare cramping. I LOVE IT! The initial pain is WELL WORTH the benefits now. :)"


"Warning, Caution! If you are doing Remicade treatments for Crohn's disease that involve IV Phenergan. The day after my 56th treatment I took my 2nd dose of Pristiq and within 30 minutes almost passed out, became very disoriented, drifted in and out of reality. I have done 56 of these treatments and yes the after effects of Phenergan and Remicade tend to make you tired for a couple of days but not disoriented. I have waited a couple of days to let the premeds from the treatment get out of my system more and will try Pristiq again BRAVELY! I can note that the first dose I took the day before my treatment had no effects like this so it must have had an interaction with something (either the Remicade or Phenergan."


"Worked wonder within days for my severe ocd."


"I have now been on Zoloft for a solid 12 months (50mg).  It has changed my life.  I was prescribed it for depression, anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - it has almost completely resolved issues I have had for most of my life.  I hesitated in taking it due to side-effects mostly because I have always been obsessed with my weight. I'm happy to report that if anything, I have dropped weight in the last year. I no longer am tempted to binge eat and just lead a healthy and active lifestyle because I am happier. I really wanted someone to read this who was in my position - who was too scared to try it because of side-effects. My only side effects are dry eyes, I need to sleep 8 hours a night (instead of 5-6) and that's the worst of it!"


"I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy about a 2 weeks ago and I have been taking Nuvigil for about a week. I have to admit it works. The urges to fall sleep are there but I have a choice now. I still sleep at night. About 7-8 hours, but I still wake up frequently. The only thing is, I get headaches and my mouth is really, really dry. I'm not thirsty, I am hydrated, I drink plenty of water, but I can't shake these two symptoms. So either I enjoy being awake and deal with the side effects, or I quit the medicine, and continue being tired. The first two days on it was great. But after a week, I feel sleep deprived, but I am still awake. I am waiting on a medicine to help me sleep better at night. So I will continue to give Nuvigil a shot."


"These pills are a joke! They don't work at all! How they can call these pain pills a pain medication. I'll never know!"


"I take 3mg of Lunesta before bedtime. I have no bad after taste. I wake feeling refreshed. I awake some nights but I'm able to fall back to sleep and still feel refreshed when I  awake. I do wish the price would come down."


"55 now - started BP issues about 4 years ago apprx.  Took Clonidine with no side effects and BP correction.  Took it as needed.  BP issue started again past year I believe.  Other someone listed below but cause chronic cough which new doc ID's and changed me to Losartan.  Initially some, mild dizziness spells which dissipated now.  Morning BP is high, was 135 or so / 90, but last week or two has been  145-150 and 95-100  have had some gym exercise as well, eating 1800 or less average, but still 35 lbs over (that's been years and years now).  Do need to tell doc about morning issue, and what is going on during night?  Get a stroke or something?  Maybe need Cholodine again during night for fast relief?"


"I'm 57 years old.  Both my sons were diagnosed with ADHD.  I went out with a guy with ADHD and the symptoms he described were just like mine. My doctor was hesitant about prescribing it to someone my age.  I went home and got it filled and about 45 minutes later I was amazed.  I was talking, being sociable, and enjoying the people I had known for years and barely talked to.  I have never felt some calm.  I thought, "wow, is this what normal people feel like?"  I'm much more focused and productive even though I've always been successful and done well in school.  I tried the regular Adderall and it didn't help at all. I'm only taking 10mg and it's working great!"


" I took levonorgestrel under the brand Postinor 2  after an incident with my boyfriend. My boyfriend's semen got over my vaginal area and some of it did get inside me (shallow penetration) and this was during my ovulation period. Took the first pill in 43h, second pill 12h later (postinor requires you to eat 2 pills 12h apart). 1 week after taking the pills I had a lot of vaginal discharge and tender breasts which really scared me because they resembled early pregnancy symptoms, but exactly 2 weeks later, I got my period. It was on time and flow was as per normal."


"This medication has saved my life. Almost curing crippling depression. That I once had 3 months of ECT for. Depression for 30, yes 30 years. And I am 44. I have been on miriad of meds. All classes and try this and that. Then developed fibromyalgia. Which I'm glad God gave me. Because it led to me getting approved for this drug. Which helps with my panic anxiety. Which I was on klonopin for. Stopped it on my own. Stopped taking all antidepressants. I was on 3 different ones at once. I'm not in pain, physically or mentally. Weight gain yes. But I'll take that over living in side myself as if it was hell."


"I have suffered from migraines all my life and I am now 57. I was prescribed Imitrex at age 39 and the first dose of 50mg gave me a tightness in my throat but it stopped the migraine. I suffered with them every day. I finally figured out that MSG in food was the biggest cause of the migraine. MSG is disguised by many names but I have eliminated a lot of food and with the help of Imitrex, I can live an almost normal life without a migraine. Imitrex sometimes makes me sleep a lot and other times I sleep for about 30 minutes and I'm fine. I praise the makers of Imitrex because nothing else would completely take the pain away!"


"Best birth control ever. No side effects, no spotting. Very light periods. It's amazing."


"This medication works very well, but unfortunately for me it is expensive. "


"This thing really does work! I was expected to have my period on Friday and the condom broke Thursday. So needless to say I was paranoid. I took the pill within 30 minutes and felt instant cramps.  I read all these reviews and they put me to ease, but still felt the stress.  I got my period EXACTLY a week after the incident, but was still nervous because I was 6 days late from the expected period.  But please don't worry, it works.  Though the period is absolute hell and painful, I've never been more excited to have it."


"I have been taking Mononessa for about 6 years now. I have had no undesirable side effects. My periods are always on time, there not heavy at all, and last generally 4 days, sometimes 5. I have experienced no nausea, and no cramps. I have acne, but I had acne as a teenager, and then it went away and came back years later, so I don't think the birth control is the culprit. I pay nothing out of pocket, and the one time my insurance did get cut off, it was $28 which I did not feel was completely unreasonable. And most importantly, I have not gotten pregnant since being on it."


"Almost  1 year on Belviq.  Started at 348 today my weight 251. Knee and hip pain almost totally gone. Blood pressure  down, life is good"


"If you're debating on whether to get drysol or not, DEFINITELY GET IT. When I read the reviews I was said "oh it can't be that good." I was so beyond impressed. I apply it now 1-2 times a week and now I can wear whatever top I want. I even went running in 90 degree whether in a black shirt and my underarms were still completely dry. I am so happy that I tried this. The only downside is the burning once you apply it but it only lasts for about 20 minutes. It's so worth it!"


"Works extremely well."


"I'm 33 have been taking 25mg for the past 4.5 years. I have been getting aura migraines since I was 13. They have always been unpredictable and could never pin down particular triggers. In my early 20s I took sandomigran for a couple years but found I gained too much weight and still got migraines. For the first 4 years -pretty much to the day, of taking nortriptyline I didn't have a single migraine, normal headaches lessened, my irritable bowel syndrome and endometriosis improved and then I got the dreaded aura and a terrible migraine. I have now had 3 migraines in the past 5 months and curious as to why it's not working as effectively as it used too. Side effects: no weight gain, I get a dry mouth all day, lowered libido, restless sleep."


"Have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and tried Rapaflo for two weeks.  For me there were too many side effects to continue any longer.  Here they are starting with the most annoying:
No orgasm--was completely unable to reach orgasm after the first dose; throat swelled up and had a hard time swallowing; nasal congestion; blurry vision; ear ache; jaw ache; increased inflammation."


"I've been on this medicine for about 7 months. I started at 5 mg and I felt great! But around the 4 months I got worse and ended up increasing my dose to 30 mg and now I feel even more better then before! The only side effect I experienced was a slight brain zaps but they go away after a week or two. This medicine has helped me so much I recommend this medcine!"


"I have been on Spiriva Respimat for about a year now for my COPD and it is still working very well!  I do have to take my rescue inhaler more than I did when I first began the drug but I am still receiving great benefit from this medication and am so grateful it continues to improve my quality of life."


"I am on my 4th month taking this pill. This is my first time regularly having sex without a condom and I have not gotten pregnant. My sex drive is great, but I have a lot of cramps and breast tenderness. I gained some weight at first, but I went back down when I stopped eating as much. My periods have been long, but relatively light. Considering I can overcome the side effects and I get this brand for free it works for me."


"I have been taking Avapro 150 mg for 4 years now and it has been wonderful.  My blood pressure has been in the normal range almost since I started taking it.  I did reduce my salt intake and recently lost 15 pounds.  I am making lifestyle changes. I'm now walking about 4 miles a day for 4 to 5 days of the week.  Avapro helped me get on track to a healthy life style.  Oh, and I just turned 60."


"I have had trouble with my hypothyroidism for 40 years. The last 4 years it has been out of control.. can't keep my levels good. Fall asleep at the drop of a pin. Tired all the time. Doc put me on tirosint. At first I felt like a million bucks!!  Then the panic attacks started, bad horrible cramps in my legs and feet. But the worst was feeling like I was in a constant state of DIVERTICULITIS!! I was eating pain meds and on antibiotics for weeks! Then I stopped taking it. it went away.. it has only been a couple of days... but my belly is feeling better, but my aneixty is still running at a 9.. along with the irritability."


"I was on Abilify for 3 weeks total. On the 3rd day on the drug I started to feel shaky, like something had to be moving at all times. I figured it would just go away so when I got no sleep that night from this I thought tomorrow will be better. But on day 4 it was worse so I called my doctor and he told me to take a half a pill and by this time my legs were visible shaking out of control. I would have to push on them to make them stop. On days 5, 6 and 7 I had the same thing: shakey and no sleep. Everything hurt from the shaking. It was so bad at one point I broke down in the middle of my in laws home. That day my doctor took me off this medicine and 2 days later all the shaking was gone."


"I have been on Lyrica for 5 years and it has changed my life so much. I had pain all over and could not figure out why. I went through so many test and procedures to help and nothing did. I found a Dr. who put me on Lyrica 50mg three times a day and after a couple of days being dizzy I realized that my pain was almost gone. I am now taking 150mg three times a day and I have my life back. I have gained weight because food taste great now. Make sure you never run out though. It happened to me on vacation and I was so sick from withdrawal. It is the worst feeling in the world, all the pain was back and I felt like I had the worst flu ever. As soon as I got home and got my refill I was fine. Great medicine, but they do need to tell you more about withdrawal. I love Lyrica."


"I am on week 2 of Pristiq and so far I am very irritable, no motivation and no sex drive. I have read the reviews and I am feeling more optimistic! Thanks everyone for posting! I really want to keep pushing through this."


"Seems to be working fine."


"It did help me quit smoking and I've been smoke free since June 29th.I quit 3 weeks into the program.The problem was I got a terrible rash from it. My whole left arm and both ankles look like I have the measles that were scratched open. Even my face got it. The bubbled up kind of rash that if you scratch it the bubbles pop and it's red a raw looking. Needless to say I quit taking Chantix right after the pharmacist told me it could be from that. Now I have to go to the clinic to see what to do about the rash. I am glad I was able to quit smoking because just I found out my grandson has asthma the poor kid. I really didn't want to quit but when your Grand kids don't want to come over because you smoke it gives you the incentive to."


"I got the Nexplanon put in July 10th (a month after I gave birth) and to this day (3.31.13) I am STILL bleeding! I have went to my dr and they gave me a pill that didn't stop the bleeding, I bleed every day all day and they don't know what to do, I am about to get it taken out. Granted I have not gotten pregnant but then again we don't have much sex due to the bleeding."


"Was on Ambien and doing well and the doctor told me since I was over 65 I could not have it any longer.  Tried Trazadone, Rozarem and then Belsomra.  I got maybe 2-3 hours sleep on the Belsomra if that and the dreams were axe murderer vivid. I also developed leg weakness and found my insurance copay was over $100.00!  I finally am back on my Ambien and am sleeping my usual 8 hours with no hangover in the morning and no axe murderer dreams.  Am very disappointed in Belsomra as I had watched its' development for awhile and had high hopes."


"For Migraine"


"I started Suboxone 13 days ago after being addicted to opiates for about 2 plus years.  I was like the rest of them buying them off the streets and runnig up about a $150.00 - $200.00 a day habit.  I was stealing money from my husband and my parents and literally could not talk to my kids without screaming by evening.  I agree Suboxone is a life saver but I would like to eventually get off them but I know without them I would still be using more and more every day.  I love my husband again and enjoy my children.  I do suggest however going to NA meetings or therapy so you do not feel alone and have someone else you can talk to if the urge ever arises.  No real urges in 13 days.  Good Luck to all."


"I've been on Lamictal for a few years and while it eliminated all my daytime seizures my night time sleep seizures continue. I spoke to my neuro and he raised the dosage to 400mg..But I was a zombie with no memory, aphasia, and confusion. Finally I went back to 200mgs and decided to just live with the nighttime seizures. my dr suggested using Xanax to control them. It worked. The odd part that they occur every six weeks like and last for about a week... Anybody else has such regular onset?"


"I was prescribed this cream by a consultant dermatologist, I used on my eyebrows  on and off for some 5-6months
recently my glands on one side of my neck have swollen, I don't have a cold or flu or any other symptoms of any viral infection, apart from a reddening of my throat, GP prescribed  some antibiotics which don't seem to of done much, I still have a sharp pain when I breathe in quickly through my nose or lie on that side of my neck in bed I haven't used this  since and don't intend using again  nor do I trust the pharma industry"


"After speaking with my Doctor and doing my research, I decided to try this Mirena to control my long heavy periods. Big mistake after 6 months of constant bleeding and depression I've decided  to have it removed. I would rather have 5 days of heavy periods  than to go 2 to 3 weeks and experience mood swings.."


"I've been on the Nuvaring ever since I had my baby girl who is 3 yrs now! I absolutely LOVE IT. I have nothing bad to say about it. I can't feel it during sex and neither does my husband. I would recommend this to anyone!"


"I remember reading all these reviews before I took it because I was so scared of the side effects that I might get so I thought I would review it. I know everyone reacts differently but so far this medication has been great. It has slowed down those over thinking anxious feeling's a lot! The side effects were minor. Mild digestive problems, occasional yawning episodes (a bit annoying). The one that is probably the biggest issue is the complete loss of appetite, I just feel like drinking a lot of water. I don't feel hungry and have lost 2kg in the 3 weeks I have been on it.   I am hoping in time these side effects will eventually go away. They are pretty mild and something I can put up with since it is helping me with my anxiety."


"Azathioprine worked well to reduce my ulcerative colitis symptoms and had zero noticeable side effects. The required frequent blood tests were a hassle and it did lower my white count significantly. In the end, the medicine was not sufficient to manage my condition and we added an anti-TNF to it. Once that was ramped up I discontinued azathioprine since it added nothing to the anti-TNF."


"I've had a very strange experience with this medication. I've been suffering from chronic insomnia for a couple of years now - I've been prescribed every sleeping aid under the sun. Having had bad experiences with most tablets - Zopiclone (evil stuff - always feel irritable and miserable after taking it), Trazadone (spaced out, constipated with a really dry mouth!), antihistamines (don't work at all), Zolpidem (fall asleep for 2 hours, wake up and can't go back to sleep) Anyway, you get the picture! When I take Mirtazapine (7.5mg) I fall asleep roughly 30 mins later and sleep for a solid 9 hours! Sounds good....however, the next day I feel SO weird...detached from reality to the point where I can't function on any level :-("


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Helped to improveHemoglobin (hgb) and hematocrit (hct) and minimal Red blood cell (RBCs). Feel positive results thus far. Side effects were bone pain for few days after injection. Worst side effect was severe runny nose starting about 3 days post injection peaking about 2 weeks post injection and basically over at time for next injection."


"I have just started taking this medicine. I just took my third dose about 30 minutes ago. The first night taking the medicine was difficult. Bad taste - definitely. My legs were fidgety and I tossed and turned for about 4 hours (very unusual for me, I normally sleep like a rock). I could hardly get out of bed for more than 10 minutes the first day. Dizziness was very bad. I took the second dose about 16 hours after the first dose (4pm on day 2). The 2nd day has been a bit better. I was able to get on the exercise bike for a few minutes even. This is my third day. I took the third dose at 8:30 am. I am working up to taking 5mg every 12 hours, but am not there yet. I have a follow-up with the doctor in a couple days. "


"Epzicom, Reyataz AND Norvir triple combination.  It is expensive, but ALL hiv medications are expensive and there are programs to help pay for the medicine if you have a low wage since most of these HIV medicines cost between $3000 and $10000 or more. This one in combination with Reyataz and Norvir has brought my CD4 level up to 1100 and an undetectable viral load. I do have side effects from the 3 medications, such as nausea and lethargy, but I take Marinol/Dronabinol to take away the nausea.  I am happy with my CD4 count and viral load on this combination of medicines to fight my HIV/AIDS infection."


"Wish I never would've taken for it 3 weeks!   Have lost about half my hair!  Not worth it!"


"Since I've started taking Zonegran I have not had ANY flare ups of tremors in my hands. No bad side effects however, one good one... It has helped me lose weight!"


"I got the skyla inserted 3 weeks ago. I'm 30, no kids, had nuvaring and barely had a period for the last few years. I started BC at 18 so what I can remember my periods were 3 days every 3 weeks. I will say, nothing can prepare you for the insertion. It was the 2nd to worst pain in my life, #1 being my shoulder coming out of joint. It felt like a hot rod searing my insides. I literally jumped up the table. Now, after I crawled back down and new what was coming, I breathed, joked, counted slowly and it was over in 30 seconds. Afterwards, cramps & spotting for a week or so. 3 weeks later and I feel great! More energy, higher sex drive, no more spotting. No regrets! Love it!"


"Starting this medication made me nervous but without any side effects, the two-pill dose has zero complaints from me! No stomach cramping, no diarrhea, no nausea, nothing! My advice to anyone taking it is to take your recommended dose immediately after eating a large meal since food reduces side effects in medications. Other than that, you’re on your way to becoming C free!! Good luck!"


"I'm 76. Been using Cialis for BPH and also ED. Tried Viagra last week. Wow. Never performed so well. Took about 2 hours before sex. Had a great erction and lasted as long as I wanted to. Decided to climax after about 1/2 hr. of continuas intercourse. My partnetr was amazed and said it was the best! I had received 50mg tablets, but I cut in half. Seemed to be more than enough. Maybe I'll try 50mg. for comparison."


"I have been taking Deplin for 18 days and I do notice a slight change in my depression/brain fog and energy levels. I think it is being inhibited by my Adderall withdrawal but am hoping it is helpful since I've tried many medications and nothing has really helped."


"Taking 50mg. This is my first week. Wellbutrin gave me hives and Lexapro was nothing more than a sugar pill. My most noticeable side effects:  repetitive yawning on day three and day six. Almost incomplete non satisfactory yawning followed with a quick wave of nausea. My first two days I felt really nervous. Insides were shaky. Very minor headaches almost every other day. My general sense of well being has improved but I am quieter. I am not as vocal as I was. Almost subdued, which means less arguing with my fiance. I haven't noticed an appetite decrease, in fact my hunger pains seem more pronounced. My sex drive was gone to begin with so nothing to report there.  I was in the sun today, noticed a much greater sensitivity to it. Dry mouth."


"I have only taken 3 doses of Belviq and I have lost 1.5lbs already. "


"I'm a 53 year old male, have had Ankylosing Spondylitits since I was a teenager, undiagnosed until a bout of Uveitis (inflammation in my eye) in 2010, the blood tests revealed I was HLA B27.  From there my illness steadily progressed until hospitalisation in 2016, by the end of 2016 I was having more frequent episodes of uveitis followed by debilitation reactive arthritis that left me unable to move. The last episode in Feb 2017 saw me hospitalised again, due to the pain of my ribs expanding when trying to breath. I received my first Humira injection pen injection the day after being hospitalised in Feb...... It's a miracle. Within 24 hours I was feeling better than I had felt in 8 years. Humira has given me a second chance."


"This is the only one I feel safe taking. I'm prescribed 0.25mg 2x a day or as needed. I took Zoloft, Wellbutrin,Seroquel, etc. Felt horrible coming off all of these. With Xanax I feel like I can take it when I need it and put it down the next day if I don't. Unlike the other antidepressants that cause brain zaps or worse side effects, feelings of a rollercoaster coming down."


"I too was on Vagifem for about 1 1/2 years when my Insurance switched me to Yuvafem.  After 2 months I was getting a lot of Hot Flashes and the Vaginal dryness started to come back,   I did appeal to my Insurance Company and they just approved for me to get the Vagifem back instead.  I have a feeling my copay will go from $30. to $50. but it's worth it to get results.   I had no issues with insertion or anything like that but do believe either the pill dissolved too quickly or too slowly and that is why I was having my symptoms return"


"I was on the shot for 2 years and 6 months. My first 6 months on the shot I bleed lightly but nonstop. After that I did not have a period for the 2 years. I gained 40  pounds and experienced major emotional side effects. I did not get pregnant on the shot because mainly my sex drive is nonexistant and I am so tired all the time. I have also believed this shot has messed with my blood sugar and blood pressure. I am ending my shot because of all the side effects."


"I love the NuvaRing. I have had some minor side effects but beside all of it I love it. My period has always been regular when I take the Nuvaring off. I been using the Nuvaring about 1/2 a year now, and had not used a protection a couple of times, and the Nuvaring has protected me from getting pregnant."


"The medication has been somewhat helpful with stiffness but the pain is still present. The stomach upset and ringing in the ears has caused me to request different medication."


"I was given butorphanol for severe abdominal pain related to Crohn's disease when none of the typical meds worked for me. It is amazingly effective. The first time I took this nasal spray my pain disappeared in about 7 minutes. Nothing has ever worked for my pain before until taking this. And since I have Crohn's disease, the nasal spray is brilliant because it doesn't go through the digestive system and cause other symptoms. Made me a little sleepy, but less each time I take it. It's been a miracle for me."


"I have used this numerous times for both bronchitis and sinusitis and it has always worked great for me.  The 5 day z-pack is great.  I don't have to take a pill for 14 days and that is awesome.  Every time I have taken it, I have experienced stomach pain on the first day but each day following it, no problems.  This medicine is awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants  fast and effective relief!!"


"Worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I inserted the treatment and went to sleep. Soon after I woke up and my vagina was on fire and the itching was unbearable. I couldn't go to sleep for hours and instead spent that time crying and screaming in pain. The next day was horrible. I had to stay home because my vagina was still burning and itching. It had swollen up so bad I could not even walk. I will NEVER go through this awful experience again."


"I have been taking Apri for about 3 or 4 years now, and I am not pregnant! So that in itself makes it a good pill. However, my periods are still fairly heavy and the cramps painful, and I suspect that the estrogen may have something to do with the migraines I experience, but I'm not sure. "


"I had my first paragard IUD inserted yesterday. I have never had children, and insertion was painful but not unbearable. I had mine inserted while I was on my period, and I forgot to take any ibuprofen beforehand. There were three steps (opening the cervix, measuring, inserting the IUD) that all felt like quick, hot, fire pokers hitting my insides. It was a sharp, intense pain that lasted seconds. Driving home I had bad cramps. These lasted well into the night. I woke up this morning and the sharp pains were gone! I'm still a little sore, but I think my body is adjusting well. I do not have any abnormal, heavy, bleeding. I'm happy with my decision and I'd say it's worth 10 years of birth control."


"So, I switched from Depo to Nexplanon simply so I didn't have to go to get a shot every 3 months. It saved me seem having to leave work and use vacation time. I've been using Nexplanon for alost 5 months now, and in the beginning, I liked it, but now... it's a totally differentry story. I haven't had the majority of the side effects, but I've had 2 that bother me the most: extreme breast tenderness and an increase in my acne. I hate it! I guess I'm going to go back to Depo soon because I was on that for 8+ years and never had a problem until I switched to Nexplanon. It really sucks and I feel pretty hideous and disgusting. I had more confidence in myself on my last BC method."


"I was prescribed to take 300mg a day, along with stool softeners because this product is know to cause constipation. Thankfully I waited to take the stool softeners because I have been taking this medication for 6 days and have been glued to the toilet for 2 of them. I haven't noticed any positive effects from this medication. A full list of my side effects so far have been: feeling like I'm going to throw up, my stomach gurgling a lot, painful gas, and very strong diarrhea (very watery about 4 times in the morning then 5/6 during the day time)."


"I was prescribed Cipro by my doctor for 5 days twice a day. (Every 12 hours) I had no side effects of the medication, however the medicine didn't clear any of my symptoms, but they made my symptoms worse."


"I've been on this medicine since I was 3 days old, I'm now 18. I couldn't imagine what I would do without it. I have missed my pill for 3 days before and I became very tired, cold and sweat a lot. It wasn't a fun time. Hearing your stories about how you lived without it sounds scary! Other then having very bad sleeping problems, this medicine is great. Never lost any hair and have healthy fingernails, etc."


"I'm 18, only had sex once and never been pregnant. I got this iud earlier today. They had me take cytotec (inserted vaginally last night) to help dilate the cervix which I think helped a lot, since when iIwent in today it almost didn't hurt at all! I also took 3 advil about an hour before the procedure. It only took a few minutes for the doctor to clean, measure and insert the iud. at worst it felt like minor menstrual cramps. Since then it's been a little achey, but again very mild; I've had cramps much worse than this. had some spotting since the appointment, but that could also be the start of my period. overall it was such a relief how quick and painless it was, after having read scary reviews the night before. really glad I chose skyla"


"Best time to take it is some time in the morning so you do not have to go to the bathroom all night."


"58 year old with mild high blood pressure. I'm in very good condition but was experiencing less than perfect erections. Viagra works very well for me. I typically cut a 100mg pill into 4 pieces and take a 25mg piece. It does work best on an empty stomach. For example, eat a normal lunch, come home from work at 5pm, take Viagra just before eating dinner - works for the rest of the evening. Seems to last longer than the stated 4 hours. For the absolute fastest results, for a little Saturday morning fun, take it right after waking up, wait 15 minutes (time to drink some coffee), and have at it."


"Hello everyone! So over winter break I gained a HUGE allergic reaction from an acne face wash that made me break out with acne ALL over my face. BIG CYSTIC  PIMPLES. Yeah, it was really bad. I was embarrassed, I didn't want my family to even see me. I was ashamed. My mother took me to the dermatologist that Friday and I was prescribed Solodyn. I got two weeks prescription for free. I had an amazing experience so far, its only been a week, exactly a week from today that I've been on this medication.($35 for 3 months medication) I don't regret it at ALL. The only side effect it has had on me is tiredness after school. My acne has cleared about 90% if not more. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone with a very ugly acne break out."


"Just in my first week of taking Celexa 20 mg for depression and mood swings. I have had a terrible headache since I took the first dose, very nauseous, and this yawning - gagging thing is worrying me, but mood wise I can already tell a difference. I hope it continues to work well."


"My experience with Skyla has been rough. For the record, I've never had kids and am fairly petite.The insertion process was, as most people have said, fairly painful. Maybe a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. I took ibuprofen before the insertion, but my OBGyn accidentally clipped my cervix, which led to some bleeding. The cramps after the insertion got increasingly bad. I've had ulcers, and I can say these cramps were the worst pain I have ever been in. These cramps have continued almost every day for the past 6 weeks, and have severely impacted my life. My last period lasted 12 days with heavy  and it's starting again 15 days later with terrible cramping. If you have another option (which I don't), I would not recommend this insertion."


"I have been on this pill for almost a month now. I don't really like it that much because of the side effects ive been having. Its also the first time that i have ever been on birth control. Im hoping that it will get better."


"I started taking Adipex on Thursday July 28th 2011 and today is Tuesday August 2, 2011 and I have lost 13 pounds. It does dry out my mouth very much but it is worth the weight loss because it makes me drink water so I stay hydrated. But I do also have a lot of energy and it carves my appetite. At first I didn't want to eat at all but now I do just not as much. "


"It helps with anxiety but actually causes depression for me. Plus, I've gained weight, even when on a starvation type diet. I'm slowing weening myself off, down to 2.5 mg a day, next  week I'm stopping completely.  I just want to have a clear head, instead of feeling like a zombie."


"This is a great medicine for muscle spasm and neck/head pain. I tried flexoril but that made my knees feel wobbly but did not make me feel sleepy like the tizanadine, which I need because I have serious sleep disturbances. The tizanadine also is good for overall aches and pain for me. I take 2 mg at dinner then 6 mg at bedtime. If I wake up in the night I take another 4 mg. This is a high dosage but my doctor allows me 12 mg daily. I am thankful for this medication."


"helped me get over the hump of depression after coming home from Afghanistan..."


"Been having some Erectile Dysfunction problems on and off this year, noticeable since November 2014.  Decided to speak to GP about it.  Given Viagra, 50mg.  Taken as needed just to get things kick started again.  Took it last night.  Bit of flushing, a slight sorehead but have had worse, even had one glass of wine an hour later.  Action in bed - incredible.  Rock-hard, large, could last a long time, enjoyable.  Woke up again at 6 for round two - same again.  And then another round at 8:30am - same again.  12 hours later and if I get turned on, things are happening again. Seriously impressed and if it's got things kick started again, then it's well worth it."


"I am 5'4 and need to lose about 30lbs.  I started Belviq about two weeks ago.  I have had no side effects and the results of reducing my hunger have been great.  The first week I lost nearly nothing but hopped on the scale this morning and I was nearly 5lbs down.  I do think it is somewhat of a mind game so you must pay attention to your diet.  For me the curbing the appetite was big since my problem with eating was never what I ate but more about how much I ate.  I am tracking my diet on an app and it seems to be motivating to continue....My concerns are when I get off, will I just gain it all back?"


"Hydroxyzine has worked great for my allergic reactions. I have been fighting these allergies for 8 years now. I have tried everything form Benedryl to prescription allergy medicines. Nothing has worked for me except the hydroxyzine. I have been taking it for 4 months now and have only had very mild if any skin irritations since I began taking it. The drowsiness has not affected me at all."


"This review is past due because I stopped taking Lo Loestrin a couple years ago due to job/insurance change and moving. But out of all the pills I've tried, this one was actually one of the better ones I tried. PROS: NO periods, no cramps, no mood swings, all gone :D!!  I'm a heavy bleeder with horrible cramps/pains. This completely got rid of it and it was SO nice.

Weight gain! For some this is a huge con,  but I'm a 5'2 105lb stick figure girl and I've always struggled with trying to gain a healthy weight. This added about 5-10lbs on and I was really happy about it.

CONS: Acne :(  I never had bad acne until I started taking this. Also had no desire for sex, but I took it to fix my bad periods, not for dodging babies."


"I had a severe skin infection on the head of my penis which was horrible. It hurt to pee, move around, even walking was a challenge.  After trying to use a regular hand cream, that did not work, i paid a visit to the dermatologist.  I was then given several samples of Protopic. After about a week of following dosage and prescription my penis was healed and ready. I recommend this product to people who have been prescribed it and advise to use as directed."


"This pill made me have 2 full cycles each month. With lots of cramping. NOT an equivalent generic."


"Four weeks on Crestor 5mg dropped my total cholesterol level 100 points. LDL 81. Now I need to work on increasing HDL through diet and exercise. No side effects at the low strength. Very pleased with the results."


"Worked after three does, but that is when the headache started. No relief from headache with Tylenol or Motrin.  I'm going to ask dr. For different drug. Also seemed to get chapped lips, dry hands, and did get low blood sugar accompanied by sweating on third day on this medicine. UTI seems to be cured though."

"I used chilled Suprep with berry flavored Propel water, lemon, & ginger ale at 5pm.  I plugged my noise, chugged it down in about 2 mins, after taste of grape.  32oz of water in about 45 mins. Started working in about 25 mins/camped out on the toliet for 2 hours. Netflix, a blanket, socks, wipes and PreperationH. Slight nausea for about 45 mins, chills for about 1 1/2 hour.

The 2nd does was at midnight. Same chugging routine with berry Propel/lemon/ginger ale. Much harder to get down, left a 1/4 of it in the cup. Instant nausea/dizzy which lasted until procedure. Doc recommended NO 32oz water after, helped with nausea, just sips of water. 2nd dose lasted 3 hours of going to the bathroom. 7am colonoscopy and totally cleaned out."

"I use Opana ER 20mg 3x day and Opana IR 10mg as need for breakthrough pain.  I can now function as a active dad with both my kids, playing baseball and softball.  Life is good!"


"Hi, I have suffered from CFS/ME for about 25yrs.  IBS-D started a short time after my viral infection.  I am also on antidpressants, muscle relaxants and pain killers.  I have been on loperimide, buscopan, and codiene phosphate with only temporary relief and my ibs-d could always override the drugs.My gut has become incredibly calm since taking 100mg of gaba in the morning and 100mg at night.  I am eating, in limited amounts, food that I couldnt eat prevoiusly without severe diarrhoea.  I was initially prescribed this drug for neuropathic pain and I am delighted to find it works for my gut too. I have read of other people with ibs improving since being on this med."


"I took this in 1961 as a test subject.  There was an article in Time magazine and they used the phrase: wringing out the wet.  Along with the decrease in what was then called idiopathic edema, I have a big decrease in bp, winding up with readings of 90/60, way too low for me.  I would get this "strange" feeling, have just enough time to go uh, oh, and then have to lay down, I felt as tho I would fall if I moved.  It had all the classic symptoms of a diabetic low, the dizziness, heavy sweating, overall malaise, physical weakness.  However, I was not a diabetic then, was slim with no sighs of pre diabetes.  I stopped using it.  Later I was told it was only used in the hospital for extreme cases of fluid retention.  Now I see it on this list."


"Buspar was the first medicine prescribed to me for anxiety. I started out taking 5mg three times per day, then the dosage was increased to 10mg twice per day, but I had to go back to the 5mg dosage because I got extremely lightheaded at higher dosages. At first it seemed to help, but over time I realized I was still very very anxious even with the medicines. "


"I began taking Cymbalta 30 mg on 07-07-16 due to moderately severe depression, anxiety and physical pain. Almost immediately I felt better in all aspects; however, severe chronic constipation also occurred. I took Miralax daily and still only had BMs every two to three days. Then about two to three weeks ago I started feeling angry as if I was backsliding. I was going to increase from 30 mg to 60 mg but my doctor wanted to prescribe a medication for idiopathic constipation, which mine wasn't. My last dose of Cymbalta was on 09/30/16 and I started taking Zoloft 50 mg again on 10/1/16.  I guess one can't have it all. Even taking Zoloft causes constipation but I take 20 billion probiotic twice daily and it moves things along regularly."


"I had my insertion May, 2011. I have 2 son's and don't want anymore and neither does my husband. It was a little painful think it was mostly in my head but I took Advil and was fine. Had it done on my lunch hour and went right back to work. I continued to bleed for about a week after that but I expected that. It is now February and I still bleed very lightly every month waiting for that no period but it hasn't happened yet but it's so light I'm okay with that. I haven't gained any weight and no acne and no cramps. I would recommend this and have recommended this to everyone I know because I love it."


"I have had mild depression and anxiety on and off my whole life. I also have PMDD. Bi polar disorder and alcoholism runs in my family including my dad and his mother who were formally diagnosed between the ages of 35-45. My dad and best friend died tragically and suddenly as a direct result of his addiction last summer. I was already taking 100mg a day and my doctor increased my dosage to 200mg. This little pill has saved my life! Without it, I honestly don't think I would have been able to cope. I work a demanding full time job and also attend school on my days off. It has been tough, but thanks to this wonder in a bottle, I have been able to manage!"


"This is a good product since it also comes as a suppository.  The last thing I want in my stomach when it is nauseous is more medication."


"I love it! Worked wonders for skin and other people noticed that my skin is so smooth and clear !"


"So, the insertion process for those who haven’t went through it was extremely painful for me. I passed out twice but and the pain lasted two weeks but right now it’s all good. I do like the freedom it gives me to have sex with my boyfriend without a condom. However recently I haven’t been able to lose weight. I go to the gym for about an hour and a half a day and yet the weight is sticking to me like glue. Also I’ve gained 4 pounds since I got it (three weeks ago). I don’t like the weight gain at all and if it continues I might get it removed. That was a big worry for me when talking to my doctor and even though the IUD is a great form of birth control I’m on a weightloss journey and this is causing a lot of issues."


"It made me constipated for 3 days."


"I've been on Trinessa for a month and half now and I love it. There are so many bad reviews out there, I was really scared to try it but I'm so glad I did. I haven't had any negative side effects except for sore breasts but it's not even bad. I don't feel the soreness unless I press on them. I was on Necon 7/7/7 for a month before Trinessa, but it made me break out horribly. Trinessa started to clear it up the first week. Now my skin is almost all clear. I don't have mood swings or headaches because of it. Birth control pills affect every woman differently so you should definitely try it before deciding it's no good."


"My mother smoked for over 50 years and was recently in hospital for pneumonia. She had to be put on the patch (21 mg) while in there. I am thrilled to say that it has been 16 days and she has not even thought about a cigarette. I say that is a miracle because she always had to have an extra pack of cigarettes so she would not run out! Thank you for a great product!"


"You WILL gain weight instantly on this pill.  I've tried many BC pills and this is going in the trash.  Try LoLoestrin if your insurance covers it (mine doesn't which is why my Dr. tried this one) it's amazing but there's no  generic yet."


"Just started my 6th month of Xyrem and not sure it is doing anything except keeping me awake every other night, giving me the munchies, waking me up (if I slept) freezing and decreasing the effectiveness of my Adderall up to 60mg 2xday, was taking 1/2 that prior to starting.  1st 2 months complete exhaustion, facial pain, sinus pain and just miserable."


"I had stage 2 breast cancer in 2004 took tamoxifen for 5 years and was then moved to femara.  I have had significant bone and muscle pain; weight gain; severe hot flashes/night sweats; and brain fog, forgetfulness; however my 5 years of femara will end in June 2015 however I was under the impression that I would be taken off of this medication; however I have seen many post that show individuals on this medication for 8, 9 or more years.  I am not sure what my oncologist has in mind for me.  I was 46 when I found out and have had both breast removed and completed 5 months of chemo but I am still concerned to be without any medications for fear of my cancer returning."


"I have only been on Sprintec for a week so I hope my side effects subside by the next pack. I have been constantly nauseated, can barely eat and have begun to break out like crazy. I have also experienced heavy discharge (non yeast infection) and tiredness. I was on a higher estrogen dosage of birth control and never experienced these symptoms. The only positive is my sex drive has experienced a huge boost and I have lost some weight. Now if only I could go up a cup size."


"It makes a huge difference in my day! I hate having to take something everyday to stay awake and alert but better then living in the fog I was in the past 8 years of my life (6 of which I didn't even notice they were side effects of something bigger haha.)

Things you may notice while taking Adderall with narcolepsy,
1.You are stop being a shut in
2. You actually start calling your friends to do something instead of getting harassed till you finally cave and do something.
3. You're better at work and all of a sudden care about your job.
4. You are grinding your jaw.
5. Stop grinding your jaw.
and finally 6. Work with your doctor for the right dosage! There will be a bit of dancing between cracked out and half asleep till you find it."


"Been on this for 3 weeka and sugars great now. Has side effects of tiredness, increased pulse and severe heartburn but all gone now. Lost 5kg first week but nothing since then. Absolutely gutted"


"I was given reglan about two months ago to subside the vomiting that came along with hyperemesis gravidarum from my pregnancy. While it fixed that issue, it gave me the worst depression. I don't want to leave my bed, shower, or take care of myself or anything else. I'm letting go of this drug tomorrow."


"I wouldn't even rate this a one. I have been sobbing for the last 30 minutes until I finally gave in and texted my friend down the hall to help (I live in a college dorm). So painful get other medicine."


"I was very tearful when my doctor prescribed Lamictal because I had only been on SSRI medications in the past (they really messed me up and I was hospitalized). My doctor prescribed me Lamicatal at 25mg for 2 weeks, then 50mg for another 2 weeks, with maintenance at 100mg after that. I was tearful because I was terrified to relive what had happened before. Much to my surprise, Lamictal is what I consider my 'life saver'. I feel my moods have been maintained and balanced since beginning this medication. I have not experienced any weight gain at all only headaches from time to time. My libido has actually increased and I read that this medication can affect the menstrual cycle (which it has for me. has made them lighter!). I love Lamictal !"


"Incredible medication. I don't wake up in a panic  anymore, whereas it was occurring almost daily before. The first few days for me were hell, but I just slept through the headache and nausea and dizziness and now it's one of the best things that's ever happened for me regarding my anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Reduced daily anxiety = less panic attacks. Lexapro is awesome."


"I am 20 and have had terrible skin since I was about 15. After taking the Yasmin pill as well as Duac cream from my doctor my skin is so clear and smooth! Everyone keeps saying to me OMG your skin is amazing! I would definitely recommend it it's been brilliant. Only side affect may be mood swings but even at that I'm still not sure..."


"I am on the 0.6 dose so far and been on this for a week. I have not lost anything and I eat 1200 calories or less every day, drink water and walk every night.  I think this only works if you are extremely fat or cannot control your eating because nothing has changed for me at all.  I am 41 years old 5'4 and 196 pounds and I tried the Belviq also with zero success.  This medicine does not work"


"I have been on Celexa for over 6 years now. For a long time, I have been on 20mg a day and I feel quite normal for the most part. I do not feel like crying and I do not feel suicidal every single day anymore BUT i do have episodes of that at least once a month, lasting for just several days. I cut down to 10mg for a year but I noticed that I had non-stop crying and sensitivity more often so I am not back on 20mg. I would not say that it makes me feel extremely happy but for the most part, I felt normal. I like that it did not make any changes to my weight and it did not lower my sex drive at all in comparison to other reviews on this medication. I do, however, noticed that my memory and focus is not as great as before I started Celexa."


"I began sweating as soon as I started college- probably from the mass amount of stress I'm always under. Any who, this product is amazing. I literally would be sitting in a normal temperature room and sweat would just be streaming from my arm pits down the sides of my body. I started using this and from day 1, absolutely no sweat. Not even at the gym. It does sting a little bit, but as far as I'm concerned, a little bit of stinging far outweighs the low self confidence, paranoia, and constant clamminess of my body. I 100% recommend this product to anyone."


"Little if any pain relief. Stomach aches, headaches, and lethargic."


"I have been on Effexor for awhile now I would guess three years. I don't know if it works or not, to be honest. The passed few years have not been normal by any means. I had a lower back fusion in 2009 but bounced back fast and continued my life. Missed a year though of baseball. Then while playing I broke my neck, yes my neck. That ended up also getting fused. My ill advised comeback resulted in three shoulder surgeries and a broken arm. I didn't handle my dreams of being crushed well. Super depressed that I was no longer an athlete. I have bad bad pain every day. I am married with two little kids and I became anxious every morning not knowing if I could play with my kids or not. still have bad anxiety and moderate depression."
