"This medicine has severe side effects; that is, it causes irritability and tiredness.  It does dry a person out, but the side effects necessitate cautionary awareness if you are going to drive or work with people.  You have no patience.  I do not recommend this product."


"I have Stage IV Met. breast cancer with about 2-3 years to go. I got into a bad suicidal depression about dying so I was prescribed Cymbalta. Been on it for three weeks. Also doing chemo so I am not completely sure what symptoms are what. Good news is that after two weeks of starting this drug I did feel better. The side effects in the beginning were feeling flat and zombie-ish. Then I began to feel calmer and less obsessed with death. I did feel like sleeping a lot in the beginning. I added a 5mg Ativan at night to help sleep. I also take a half Percocet at night too. That does the trick as you can imagine. Lately the only adverse is an uncomfortable feeling of being very full after eating."


"I have had a really good experience with Nexplanon. It was sore a couple of days after insertion and I spotted for about a week the second month. I haven't bled since, and I have not experienced any side effects! Highly recommend!!"


"I have only been on the Implanon Birth control for 8 months now but I am quite unhappy with it. I have decided to get it taken out next week for a few reasons.

3 months after it being inserted I I had very heavy periods that lasted for 14-16 days at a time every 5 days with major clotting. My doctor put me on the Pill as well as Implanon because he thought it may help settle my hormones down. After a month of being on the Pill the bleeding stopped and went back to normal. My skin has always been fairly clear, however, ever since Implanon has taken effect I have found my skin has gotten worse and worse. Lastly, I cannot sleep on my arm without it hurting and my arm hurts even when i don't touch it."


"I have administered this drug to thousands of patients.  It works well.  The person who posted the "allergy" to rocuronium most certainly does not have an allergy.  He/she had a poorly timed emergence, which has nothing to do with the drug and everything to do with the anesthetic technique.  However, that non-allergy will be a part of his/her medical record until the end of time."


"This has been an excellent medicine.  I take 25mg Cozaar a day and 12.5 Coreg twice for dilated Cardiomyopathy.  I also have a history of frequent PVC's (8 to 15 a min) and V-Tachycardia, and things have calmed down in my chest greatly.  It was like a fireworks show going on.  The Cozaar was a God send after the Enalapril caused a fierce cough and a case of Pancreatitis after only 7 weeks that left me hospitalized for 10 days. I'm 41 and have almost as much energy as a regular 41 yr old."


"Imitrex works very well for my eyeball pain, light and odour, toxic smells, nasal stuffiness that leads to migraines. Migraines.
I am sensitive to gluten of all kinds, if I ingest some, I WILL get nasal stuffiness that will lead to a migraine or cluster headaches. Imitrex works in 45 mins, sometimes sleep is needed to take it away. Sometimes I get migraines for a week or so. Sometimes I take it as a last resort, after trying allergy meds, Tylenol or Valium. But Imitrex works for me. I eat very healthy, no breads of any kind, no gluten, very little sugar. I read all labels, eat mostly veges and meat, mostly organic, I'm getting better at that. "


"I didn't have acne but would get clusters of pimples and once I started using this and not touching my face, my face has cleared up completely"


"I have had no suicidal thoughts since I've been on this medicine. It is an awesome medicine."


"I have been taking Zoloft for only a few days! I have noticed a decrease in my appetite and I hope it continues.  What an added bonus if it helps me lose some weight as well as lessen my stress and anxiety!"


"I have severe anxiety, panic attacks & depression. Am taking 60mg of Cymbalta/day. Until recently was taking Ativan as needed for anxiety. When the anxiety wasn't getting better with the Ativan, I was switched to Buspar for my anxiety. Started out taking 5mg 2x/day. Recently increased to 10mg 2x/day. Really helped my anxiety to where I haven't been as anxious. These last few months I have been experiencing panic attacks again. Calling my doctor within the next week to see about increasing my dose. Overall, I have had no side effects with this medication aside from drowsiness."


"I started taking Harvoni after a year trying to get approval from insurance company. I'm on my second week no side effects except for one day big headache and vomiting. But I am feeling more energy since I started. Next week will be my 1st. Follow up appointment. So far good. A lot of faith."


"A wonderful medication.  Makes everything complicated in my life seem simple and I do not stress over the smaller things."


"I have never in my life functioned properly until cymbalta, I have gone from panic attacks  , to public speaking with no hesitation , I finally have a real life , I don't over stress , I no longer ruminate , no shakings , no lasting side effects ,  a bit hyper and loss of libido but sorted out in a few months, I never want to come of it , changed my life totally , been on 60 mgs for 20 months"


"Levaquin and its generic are Fluoroqunilone antibiotics. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning -- the most severe warning it can issue -- on all Fluoroquinolone antibiotics because they cause so many horrible, longterm side effects (like permanent tendonitis, vision problems, and more). Fluoroqunilones break down the mitochondria of cells, leading to cell death. This damage cannot be reversed."


"I've had mild acne ever since I was 11 but it started to get MUCH MUCH worse when I hit 15. So at 15 I went to a dermatologist and was prescribed tretion 0.025 cream, I didn't have a Initial purge phase, but I did have really dry/peeling skin for the first month. I was using it for about 6 months, it worked miracles for my skin! it took about two months to really kick in. But then my tube of the cream got thrown away by accident and I was off of it for three weeks. My skin got worse than it initially was within that time, two months after that and I was seeing no results so I went back to my derm and got prescribed the 00.5 cream. I've been on it for two months now and my skin is mainly clear again. This cream does work. Give it time."


"I've been taking this twice daily, a 600mg dose along with Pristiq (an antidepressant) for about 5 months now, and just recently felt depressed again. Not sure why that is and I'm wondering if I might need to up either one of these drugs. I'm thinking it's a good medicine for mood but uncertain of the dosage I should be on."


"Made me very anxious, and thoughts racing. Did nothing to ease nausea."


"I went to to my doctor and she gave me Fluconazole and it didn't do anything I itched so bad I was bleeding and I was scared to use this because last time I used monistat  I felt like I was sitting on a volcano it was so bad ( I found out I didn't have a yeast infection I had a UTI that time).  Anyway I just used this cream and nothing, no burning, no pain just a little tiny tingles here and there which is shocking but as of right now I'm okay"


"For me personally, I hated Lexpro.

It made me a shell of the person I used to be and like others have described, a walking zombie.

I couldn't connect with my emotions whatsoever. There are much better SSRI's available!"


"I was on birth control, however I decided to stop taking it on Saturday, 9/5/15 because I thought it was causing my sinusitis. I got my period on the monday after and it lasted till friday. I had sex with my boyfriend on friday september 11th with a condom but it broke and he came completely inside me. I'm assuming that my birthcontrol was still in affect because I was still ending my period of the placebo week, but just to be sure we  went to the shops  and bought generic brand Plan B(levonorgestrel) and took it 40-60 minutes after. I started bleeding right after I took plan b but I assumed it was my period. I stopped bleeding that night but two days later I started spotting. Currently having bad cramps and expecting my period sometime next week."


"About little more than six months ago I had perfectly healthy eyes, then I had an eye burn. Both of my eyes were inflamed and severly dry and painful  after that burn, later causing an eye ulcer on my left eye. I was completely devastated, could not even believe that happened to me! But, then my second ophthalmologist prescribed me Restasis, I started using them but every time wanted to stop, because there were no results whatsoever! But, I continued using them hoping that they would help because my eyes were extremely inflamed and dry and painful! After only 4whole months I finally started seeing some results! My eyes started healing slowly, but at least they started improving! This is my fifth month, and I really do think they are helping"


"I have suffered from PMDD for many years.  Exactly two weeks prior to my period I would notice a change in the way I felt.  I would become very depressed and anxious.  I would cry for no reason and have little patience with everyone around me.  After suffering for many years and trying two antidepressants that gave me bad side effects my doctor recommended serafem.  This is only my second month and I only take it 14 days prior to menses but I feel a big difference.  I don't feel as anxious and I'm not crying at every little thing.  This pill has limited my PMDD symptoms drastically.  I highly recommend for PMDD sufferers."


"My only complaint with this pill is that I started getting yeast infections (which I've never had problems with prior to this medication) and my mood swings are worse than usual"


"I was hospitalized back in June as a result of my depression and anxiety. Lexapro was the first medication they put me on, followed by hydroxyzine. The first thing I noticed was the minimal side effects. I didn't experience drowsiness or stomach pains or anything that I had expected to experience. Like all depression medication, lexapro is one that needs to stay in your bloodstream for several weeks before you'll actually feel it working. It's not to say that it completely cured my depression, as there is no definitive "cure" for depression, but half of my days were euphoric and the other half I was only feeling a bit down. That is a huge step up from feeling hopeless all the time. I would recommend for both depression and anxiety."


"I wish I had read about this pill before taking it. I was on Minestrin for two years and loved it. CVS switched me to Mibelas, and I experienced terrible headaches and extreme shortness of breathe to the point I thought I was going to choke to death. It took me awhile to figure out it was the Mibelas, but when I did, I stopped taking it, and I never felt better. I had constant headaches for the 2 months I was taking it, and severe anxiety. I stopped going to class and literally thought I was losing my mind. It is not worth the price difference between Minestrin and Mibelas. This product should not even be sold."


"I absolutely love it now. I've been on the patch approximately 4 months. The first couple months I experienced emotions going haywire, minor headaches and one period that I thought I was going to die or just felt like dying because it was horrifically pain. I also experience frequent episodes of indigestion. I honestly think your body has to adjust to the hormones because the previous two months the side effects are gone!  I haven't experienced an acne blemish which was common to occur during my period. My periods have lightened shortened and pain free. I've had one incident with patch falling off the day before replacing it. Oh and no kids! Overall I give it a two thumbs up!"


"Don't believe the positive comments.  I have seen zero improvement in 5 months. How the company can justify their retail price is beyond me."


"I had an episode of atrial fibrillation once in 1979, once in 1999 and once in 2009. A cardiologist then said I was to take Flecainide if I had another episode.

I woke up one night in 2011 with atrial fibrillation so I waited one hour as instructed and then took two Flecainide tablets, The fibrillation stopped an hour after I took the tablets.There were no side effects.

Another cardiologist has recommended that I take Flecainide and the blood thinner Pradaxa next time atrial fibrillation occurs."


"For the past 3 years I've suffered from increasingly bad Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I also had mild OCD, by the end of the third year I was having regular panic attacks.  I tried accupuncture, CBT, herbs, supplements and Lorazepam (I took about 5 pills over a year)  but nothing worked. I was completely against taking anti-depressants until I just couldn't get out of bed for a week.

I  was prescribed Cipralex. I take 5mg a day.  The change is amazing. I feel like my old self again. The tightness in my chest is gone. I do still get anxiety in the morning and especially on Mondays but I hear that will subside as the drug regulates in my system. I feel like I can handle my stresses again. I'm still doing CBT to work on stress."


"To be honest this is the best thing that's ever happened to me, drysol is the bomb. I had used hypercare before drysol which worked just as good but was discontinued right after I finished my first bottle and supposedly cannot be bought anywhere anymore. I was back to my armpits gushing sweat within a few days and thought all hope was lost, until I found out about drysol. It has completely stopped my underarms from sweating and I am very happy. I hope drysol sticks around forever. If you have a problem with profuse sweating under your arms get drysol and your problem is solved."


"Caused sever constipation but at least I could keep liquids and solids down. Had headache when tapering off."


"I have one week left on Step 3.  I'm positive I wouldn't have been able to stop without the aid of Nicoderm CQ.  I consider myself a non-smoker.  Some of the withdrawls that I've experienced have been well worth the effort to be able to breath easier and knowing that I'll be around longer to watch my children grow older."


"Gave one star to Zoloft for its effort, but really it deserves zero stars from my experience. I was on Remeron, then Cipralex (Lexapro for American users) for almost a year and when it stopped working I decided to go with Zoloft after reading good reviews. Zoloft slowly turned me into the worst version of myself. Constant anger, irritation, nausea, no appetite, no motivation, and man the heart burn was unreal. And the list goes on and on. I took it for a week at 25mg and 3 weeks at 50mg to give it a shot but I had to stop because I was just falling apart. I am currently on Effexor, its been almost a week and it is slowly putting me back together from the Zoloft disaster."


"I am 20 years old, never been pregnant and got the Paragard last year. Insertion was painful but bearable and I was sore for a day or two after. I love how low-maintenance it is and that it lasts so long and doesn't use hormones but ever since I've gotten it inserted, my periods have been longer, heavier, and crampier. Doctor said that for some people, it may go back to normal after about 4-6 months but my periods have remained pretty annoying. I love IUDs but not so much the Paragard. Thinking about switching to Skyla."


"This medication works well for me and I had no side effects. The monthly cost is so expensive!! $1875.72 monthly without insurance! With little to no help from the pharmaceutical company. When my insurance will pay for it it's $240. Monthly"


"I developed multiple blood clots in my lungs after a trip to Canada and America. It wasn't until I returned home that I found out I had them and was put on the 15mg twice a day for 3 weeks before switching to 20mg once a day. I have just stopped taking Xarelto after 6 and a half months and found no problem with it! Aside from bruising easily, it sure beat the alternative (injections), so I am very grateful for all it has done. I am 20 years old and am happy to say I only have a bit of scar tissue left over."


"After taking Citalapram for 6 months now and previously years ago, I personally felt it hasn't worked at all with my depression. It has slightly helped my anxiety but my depression has got uncontrollably worse and I would get up to 40mg. I'm now on mirtazapine, only been on it for a few days but that's set my nerves off. As after reading the reviews a side effect is weight gain and I certainly don't want to gain anymore weight. "


"I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years. I started Ampyra 3 years ago and since then I am more stable. I walk a little bit faster and get a lot more done in a day. Right after I started Ampyra I was able to snowboard with my kids, something I never thought would have been possible."


"I've been using geodon for 2 years.It has stopped my racing thoughts and irritability. I have however gained 20 pounds in the first 6 months even though you are told it is weight neutral.Their own website states this med can cause an increase of 15 pounds (a weight gain mean of >7)"


"I was on the Mirena for 4 months, and I received it after having my first child. At first, it was amazing. Insertion did not hurt me what so ever. I did take medicine afterwards, but the day after I felt back to normal. Now, a few months later, all the side effects are popping up. I felt alone, depressed, and suicidal. I felt like I was drowning. I have constant headaches, a weight gain of 20 pounds in FOUR months. I thought this was all just due to my new postpartum life, but after reading others saying they gained weight I decided to get it out. Sex is incredibly painful for me and feels like I'm being stabbed. Periods lasting 2 weeks, then off 2 weeks, then again. This drug is terrible, although I really wish it had worked for me."


"I've been on this pill for four months now. I used to have extremely heavy periods that could last longer than a month. This pill has reduced my period to a week and it's what I imagine is normal instead of heavy. Since I started this pill, I've had extremely strange experiences with my stomach. I have a lot of stomach problems but this has been a lot worse. I'm nauseous almost all the time now, with the mornings being the worst. I experienced discomfort in my upper right abdomin, mimicking gallstones or an infection. Went to the ER, they had no idea what it was. Unsure if this is related to this medication, but there definitely seems to be a relation between it and the nausea. No acne or weight gain from me, as I've been reading about."


"I started Phentermine 37.5mg daily on 8/3/16. My weight was 272 while at my physical with my doctor. I had been exercising and watching my diet for about  3 weeks prior to that and lost 17 pounds. This morning marks one week of taking phentermine and i weighed in at 265. I use this pill to help resist temptations, not to stop me from eating or drop caloric intake. Yes, I can tell that I am not hungry all the time but I still make myself eat something light and healthy. My goal is to lose weight, not end up in a hospital. I exercise at least four times a week in which I prefer to walk briskly. I truly believe it has made a huge difference in my outcome. I have energy throughout my day and I sleep well at night."


"I have been using Avonex for 7 1/2 years.  I can't help but believe that it is why I'm still up and walking.  The injection is only once a week (huge benefit) and the side effects are manageable with Arthritis Strength Tylenol."


"I'm not sure of the dosage that I was on, however against my doctors orders I was doubling up on my dosage. It was helpful, but not nearly as helpful as other medications that I have taken. I have a job where I have to do a lot of heavy lifting, so muscle sprains are common and something that I have commonly been treated for."


"I have been using tambocor for Atrial Fibrillation for about 5 years now and it has been a very effective drug for me. Since being on 200mgs I haven't had an attack for a year."


"I'm one of those reviewers who found Pristiq immediately helpful for 3 weeks. Then side effects (jaw clenching, bruising) decreased, and so did benefits. I became depressed again. Doctor doubled the dose.  Benefits did not improve, but side effects were okay, too, until I decided 2x the "normal" effective dose with no improvement wasn't smart.  I'd taken the drug for 6 weeks, 100 mg for 1 wk.  I cut back to 50 mg and experienced the first rebound effect ever in 40 years of depression and nearly everything available to date. Immediately and severely worsened mood, suicidal thoughts, weepiness. Then I read. Like Paxil, this has a bad record of weaning and cessation effects. Talk to your doctor carefully about the  /- of Pristiq, and be careful."


"Was prescribed for severe muscle spasms. Took for years without any problems. VA has stopped prescribing. Tried flexeril without nearly the same results and bad urinary side effects. Going to try Robaxin next. I really wish VA would bring back Soma as so far it's the only thing that allows me to function somewhat normally. I'll continue to try other meds that VA suggests, but to this point only Soma has done the trick."


"Male, age 49. I've climbed the ladder to a nice cushy office job with little or no walking. Regular days are 12-16 hours, leave when it's dark come home when it's dark. A co- worker introduced me to his doctor for a wellness visit, he prescribed phentrimine 30 mg and I've lost 14lbs in 30 days. I honestly have very little time away from work and this loss in weight was simply smaller portions, lots of water and having enough self control to eliminate all high fructose corn syrups and eat lots off veggies, and no fast food. Enjoy and don't bow to temptation."


"I've taken monistat many times because I don't have insurance for the diflucan/ fluconazole pill. Each time I take it I itch and swell and burn so much I couldn't sleep and had to call out of work. It's been 24 hrs since I put it in and I still itch so bad and am so swollen. Don't use this. if I'm not better by tomorrow I'm going to urgent care and spending money for a better easier cure."


"Lexapro helped me a lot!  I'm on 10mg and therapy to talk through my issues I didn't realise the tight feeling in my chest was anxiety...I felt like I had that all day. It completely went away. I take it at night, the downsides are I was always active, the gym was my hobby, when on lexapro I felt not interested at all in exercise and couldn't lift weights like I used to, and I'd be tired in workouts. I often feel tired during the day and could nap, sex Drive is lowered. The plus sides are I am a lot more relaxed, able to think things through properly and it is rare for me to cry now. I don't worry and I enjoy life, I'm still myself just more relaxed, I am in a positive place. I am just slowly tapering down my medication for more energy :)"


"I got birth control for the first time in my life!! After doing a lot of research and asking friends around hearing horrific feedbacks I was very skeptical. But being in serious relationship having unprotected sex left me no choice. I m allergic to latex so condoms were not an option...

Long story short I got implanon back in March, and monitored my eating habits and I did notice first month a had 2 or 3 breakouts that left dark spots which are gone with use of acne medicine nothing severe no weight gain or any other side effects. Little difference in mood in the beginning and every month I get light spotting during my period cycle. Overall this birth control has been very effective even though my Bf released sperm inside....!!!!"


"I have had Implanon for 3 weeks now. Approximately 2 and a half weeks after insertion, I got my period. Very light for four days. This would make it a week and a half early- something common for me even on the pill, but never an issue before I started birth control altogether. Aside from that, no real side effects. I have put on weight but I haven't been eating well, so I'm doubting it's Implanon. I love the freedom of being worry free and having no pill to remember. Assuming I don't get crazy periods within the next few months, I doubt I'll have it removed. No mood swings, no nausea, no anything. My face DOES look a little bit rounded, though, which is strange."


"I used this in conjunction with mifepristone and 48 hours later took misoprostol by dissolving 4 pills on the inside on my checks. I started at 4 p.m, waited for the pills to dissolve in my mouth for 30 min and swallowed the rest. I experienced nothing and fell asleep on my couch. I woke up drenched in a cold sweat and mild cramps at 6:15, I got up and immediately threw up. My nausea continued throughout my whole ordeal. By 8pm the pain was excruciating, I felt all my lower torso contorting from my belly button to my upper thighs. The best way I can describe this is full term labor contractions.  I got dizzy and my husband gave me a hot shower. I lost consciousness for a min or 2. By 10pm, I passed the baby and it was smooth sailing again."


"52 year old diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July 2016. Received chest mediport in August and went through 12 weeks of chemo. Only side effects were constipation from chemo and sleepless nights from Dedcadron. While these steroids made me feel strong and allow me to work while taking chemo they also keep me wired at night. Only on those days of chemo I would take 1  mg of Ativan at night. So blessed to get some much needed rest and was at work by 6:00 ready for my work day. Feeling rested and getting that quality sleep is very vital when fighting this disease and taking chemo. I just had IP port surgically implanted into abdomen today. Staring next 3 cycles of IP chemo after having surgery December 8th.Ativan has helped me, no side effects."


"I have ADHD since I was very young. I've been on numerous different medications for it - Adderall XR, Concerta, Strattera, etc. Out of them all, Vyvanse has had the best results. Vyvanse helps me focus, get things done, act my age, and think before I act. I can focus on one thing at a time, rather than twenty things at once. One thing I have noticed about Vyvanse is that it treats my ADHD but doesn't take away from my personality. In other words, it doesn't make me feel like a zombie. I would definitely recommend Vyvanse to anyone with legitimate ADHD!"


"Seriously this product will change your life. I'm 22 & have had cold sores since I was little, I get them when I'm sick but now I have been getting them whenever I'm stressed out. Just this past year alone I have gotten one almost every other month & this month I've already gotten 2. It's really frustrating, & embarrassing. It takes 2 weeks to heal  and lately I have been left with big scars around my lips which are really noticeable. I happened to be at my OBGYN's office & I mentioned it to him, he prescribed me this medication & in just 2 days (2g every 12 hrs) my sore has already completely scabbed, and healed. Now I take 1 500 mg every day to help prevent any from coming, my doctor said it will cut down my sores from 5-6 a year to 1."


"I am on the third month. I am still only achieving 3-4 hours of restless sleep each night despite dedicating 8 hours to laying in bed with my eyes mostly closed."


"This medicine has helped me with my pain. It seems to work very well for me."


"I have to do this every year, due to Crohn's Disease. I still get nervous and anxious, like most. However, it's never that bad! I actually guzzle the prep, right out of the bottle, after having it in the freezer,  to the point of almost icey. Then I chase it with strong, ice cold lemonade, then apple juice. Since you need so much fluid, that much water, makes me nauseous. I sometimes get nausea, sometimes chills, and usually bloated. That goes away for me, when I start going. Another great tip, while you're going? I use pure coconut oil, instead of Desitin, and only wipe/blot with flushable baby wipes that I keep in the fridge!   : D"


"Quitting was effortless!! I did have nausea throughout the entire treatment after taking the pill for a couple hours and has done very vivid, sometimes horrible dreams, but the side effects were worth it!"


"Whatever it takes get on Viibryd today. Talk your doctor into a diagnosis that meets the general indication for this medicine and watch all your symptoms (real, imagined, and subtly feigned) of depression, anxiety, and many other axis 1 psychiatric disorders disappear like magic. Viibryd is totally awesome."


"Last night was night 1 in the 7 day monistat. It was okay. Didn't burn much. But when I woke up this morning and went pee... Omg. Itching sssoooo bad. Nasty leaking. But I believe its curing the infection. Its just day 1 tonight I'm sure it will ease up. I'll keep posting for each day. (About to take a hot bath! Those work too to ease the itch.)"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Very effective, but.....
1st dose at 6pm day before colonoscopy.  Uncomfortable abdominal distension by 7pm, Nausea by 8pm. Movements did not start until 11:30pm and lasted all night (every 30 minutes or so) until time for second dose at 4:45am.
My daily beverage of choice is water (+/-64oz) however, it would be great to drink just the bottle and not have to mix it with so much water (32oz)
Exhausting, nasty and gross in more ways than one, but totally worth it considering it can save your life.
** pharmacy advised not covered by insurance so doctors office gave me a complete sample for free! **"


"Absolutely changed my life. Started in early August. I can't describe it, there is no euphoria, no speed. I wake up take it and just attack the day in a steady calculated way. I used to drink a pot of coffee a day. I haven't had a cup of coffee since I started Provigil. I had all types of medicines for my anxiety and depression, ironically this is what works. Weird, but the by-product of being so productive each day and the feeling I set and achieve obtainable goals eliminated my anxiety and depression overnight. The first day I took it, 30 minutes after it kicked in, it was like something finally just clicked. This medicine has changed my life. I had 12 types of medicines, I tossed them all, now just Provigil and one for high blood pressure."


"It works, I had unprotected sex three days before I started my period. I took the pill about 28 hrs after I had unprotected sex and for the first few days I was panicking, waiting for my period to start since I was supposed to start it. And sure enough I got it, I've never been so happy to get my period. The pill didn't affect me at all, I ate before I took it and went to sleep so I wouldn't notice the effectiveness. If you're stressing out like I was, all I can say is keep calm and wait."


"I've been on Carafate liquid for awhile now.  I've gone through several bottles at least.  It helps the burning for my acid reflux; however, don't know if I have an ulcer or not.  Doctors say I don't, but I don't know.  It does help with the burning though. I love carafate, but I eventually want to stop taking it and not have anymore reflux ever."


"I have terrible chronic insomnia. I have safely taken this medication for over 12 years, with no significant side effects. Go to bed as soon as you take the medication. In my case the window for working is very short---7-10 minutes.
If it hasn't helped me sleep by 15 minutes, it isn't going to help for that particular time. I would recommend this medication to anyone!"


"I got the implant November 2015. It definitely works as far as not getting pregnant. However, I have month long periods. On a month, then off a month. And I am very emotional.I cry over the simplest things. the emotional part is a deal breaker, I'm getting it removed. But for those who don't have this issue I suggest you keep the implant! It is definitely effective for not becoming pregnant"


"I have only had the Mirena for about 4 weeks and I just got my first period and I have been bleeding so heavily for about 3 days. I already decided that if this continues I will have it removed. I decided to get the Mirena because it lightens your period and can totally eliminate it, well that is not happening to me. I know it has only been a month but this is terrible. I have not had any other problems Just HEAVY BLEEDING."


"Did absolutely nothing."


"I'm baffled by reports of this not working.  I tried Xifaxin and was flushed out for 10 days worse than before then on first day of taking Viberzi it stopped (35 yrs IBS-D tried everything & only Lotroxex worked prior to Blk Box).  It worked with FIRST pill for me. I might suggest doing as I did which was starting on 75mg 2x day then on 2nd week to 100mg 2/day.  I also did extensive research and while I can eat whatever I want One MUST not drink and if you do maybe 1 beer or 1 wine once or twice a week due to liver enzyme and prostrate side effect possibility so NOT for heavy drinkers!  That said, I have been on 3 months now and have had JUST TWO upset stomachs.  THIS IS NORMAL & glad that Rx allows bad food or virus to come thru. VIBERZI #1!"


"Been on 25mg twice a day for 3 weeks and not much of an effect except drowsy. Certainly helps with sleep and I kind of feel like it numbs me down a little bit. Still willing to keep trying but doesn't compare to Benzos."


"I developed terrible heart palpitations on Lexapro and had to stop using it. Unfortunately the heart palpitations are still occurring even though I have been off the drug for almost 3 months."


"I've been struggling with irregular periods for over a year. I was constantly on my period with only a few days break each month. I tried taking minastrin but I contin to have irregular periods since it was such a low dosage. I just started mononessa (about 3 weeks in) and so far I havent been on my period at all which is great!!!"


"Chest pain ,Trembling inside Body ,Dizziness,"


"I am a 27 yr old mother of 1 and I have had the Mirena for a week. I chose not to read any reviews about it before I had it inserted. I had heard unpleasant stories, but after a talk with my Gyno, I decided this was right for me.
The insertion of the Mirena was not pleasant. As with many other women, the moment it was inserted felt like a contraction with sharp abdominal pain and dizziness. This is called a vagal response and is normal. It only lasted for about 15 minutes and I was able to get up and get dressed and leave. I experienced bleeding that day and back pain and cramps for 3 days.
Only complaint so far is occasional abdomen discomfort and my husband says he can feel it when we have sex."


"I was depressed by my acne but was hesitant to try Accutane because I feared the side effects. After months of researching reviews and testimonies I finally decided to try it. I never write reviews but I want to share my story because accutane worked for me. It changed my life and self-esteem. I experienced very little side effects while taking it. My acne did get worse before it got better, but I've been off accutane for almost two years and my skin has stayed clear. I had hoped to come across a review like this while I was researching the drug, and I hope this is reassuring to people who need it."


"I got the Mirena after I had my second ( and last) child.  I'd had problems with the pill, like blood clots.  I had the insertion in 10-14-2007. It was a bit painful, but not unbearable.  My period became lighter and non existent.  So when the 5 years was up, I got another one.  Same thing except for the bleeding, I now get a lot of the other symptoms.  I am now 44 and if I still need one in 2017, I will get a new one."


"My doctor prescribed 100mg for me when my symptoms start getting really bad before my period.  I have PMDD. It's a severe form of PMS. Then 50mg throughout the rest of the month for my mild depression.  Yesterday was my first day taking it, and I immediately felt effects.  I was calm, kinda zoned out, which is what I wanted since I'm always on edge.

The symptoms from PMDD are hurting my family and I'm really hopeful that this medicine will work."


"I have been so constipated I took 2 pills Sunday night.  I started to have cramping a couple hours later. The cramps were getting so intense it felt like labor pains.  I went to the bathroom about  4am it all started. I was in bed or in the restroom all day Monday and felt weak and like I was coming down with the flu. This stuff definitely works but cramps are HORRIBLE!! I'm still cramping but now able to get out of bed on Tuesday but still visiting the restroom often. If I eat or drink anything I start getting cramps and have to go to the restroom. It's 3am on Wednesday and I've been up for a couple of hours with cramps and still going to the restroom. I'm getting to where I don't wanna eat or drink because I'm tired and want to sleep!"


"Hands down the BEST acne treatment I've ever tried. Been on many, tried a lot of different products. Hormonal/food triggered acne has been a part of my life since 13. Tried aczone from my dr at 28 and haven't looked back for a year. Doesn't dry out skin, I feel a breakout coming in, put it on at nighttime and breakout gone completely in 1-2 days. Give it a try! Works fabulous :)"


"I had not had a BM in 8 days, I've never taken lax before so I chose this because it said 'gentle' on the box. The directions said 1-3 so I took 2, got on here to read the reviews and I honestly got scared and prepared myself for a horrible night. Nothing happened. I took 2 around 8 pm and around 10 pm or so I started getting mild cramps but honestly my period cramps were worse than that. I fell asleep around midnight thinking I would be rudely woken up in the middle of the night but I slept right through the night no problem and woke up at 10 am. Still no BM or even the urge to go. So then I took a third one, drank some coffee - and finally!! BM. I've had three so far and I'm still going out my day as usual."


"Took about 10 minutes to kick in. Felt like a total zombie all night, I was completely useless. The next day I was dizzy. Boo, atarax!"


"I started taking 20mgs of Lexapro every day 3 months ago. I have experienced the sexual side effects and lethargy associated with it, but it has served as a good mood stabilizer. In fact, it actually helped me to quit drinking. I had developed a daily routine with alcohol and had trouble stopping cold turkey. I needed something. I let the Lexapro work and after two weeks I lost my craving. That isn't to say it cures alcoholism or depression, but it's been just the assist I needed. I combine my medication with some therapy and self-help audio books. I'm in a much better place now than ever before. I strongly encourage anyone to give the medicine a chance to work."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"MY VAGINA FEELS LIKE IT IS ON FIRE! I can't move and I'm having HORRIBLE burning and itching. There has to be a better product then this. I would not recommend to anyone."


"This pill is wonderful. Had an accident with my boyfriend. Condom broke of course around 1am. I freaked out. Took the pill the next day around noon. I read the reviews and everyone said to calm down and relax. They were right! Period came right on time. Plan B is amazing! Just try not to stress about it and let it do it's thing. These situations happen!"


"As far as birth control, it is an extremely effective contraceptive pill! Never got any severe side effects; some nausea the first week, but that's about it. Also, my periods are about the same flow wise, but very little cramping, about 4 days long instead of 5. I used to have awful skin, and now it is clear! The only thing that happened when I went on this medication that may be displeasing to others is that I gained about 30 pounds. My varying weight before was 106-110, and now I am between 130-136lbs."


"Not a good experience here. My 10 year old son was put on it. He started hallucinating, hearing voices, he was terrified. Uncontrollable crying. He couldn't be in a room alone. He was going into panic attacks because he was so scared. He didn't know why he was scared or why he couldn't stop crying."


"Like the other anonymous user, I went to the ER with a migraine. I received this medicine and Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) intravenously. The side effects were intolerable. Within minutes of injection a combination of agitation, nervousness and anxiety overwhelmed my already throbbing head. I felt trapped, as if there was no escaping the discomfort of the side effects.

I gave this a 3/10 because it still prevented me from throwing up after I already had several times. It works, but I won't ever use it again.

I know it wasn't the Benadryl as I have taken it since without incident."


"I have constipation regularly. Milk of magnesia give me terrible cramps and makes me have nausea. Usually no BM. Miralax takes 3 days to work on me. Biscodyl tablets react the same as Milk of magnesia except with horrible gas. Senna, I have normal cramping before a BM, usually takes 8 hours to work. Very pleased."


"I just started taking 90mg once-weekly Prozac for anxiety and PMDD. I have taken this in the past and it was amazing for improvement of my mood. I will only be taking it 2 weeks out of the month. I didn't have the anxiety previously, but I am hoping the results will be amazing this time too. I have high hopes that this will get me through this rough patch. The only downfall I have seen for my body, and this has been my experience with all SSRI's, after about 6 months of treatment, I become like a blank slate and void of emotion. I'm not depressed, but I'm not happy either.  I don't feel anything. Hopefully as I am about 10 years older,  that has changed for me, and since I am only taking 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off."


"I feel 100% better since taking Bentyl. Before I had stomach cramps, gas and gas pain. This works great! Thank You"

"Using this caused my lips to bleed and all the skin on my lips turned black and it was like acid eating at my lips! I was not men remotely able to find any pain relief. From Oxycodone to Dilauded the ER docs could not help me! Nothing worked so I was sent to a pharmacist which makes compounds. We spent 3 hours we experimented with different lidocaine solutions. The raw pain even with the lidocaine was so intense that I lost my breath and couldn't breath. Very scary but with this pain of simply flesh eating my lips I was not aware that pain could be this bad! I am a trauma nurse and nothing prepared me for this! Any suggestions out there! I wake in a pool of blood and I am starting to see a little improvement!"


"My doctor put me on the patches about 8 months ago. I was taking Norco 10/325, and Lyrica 50mg three times a day. I was still having pain at night, and when I had to walk for any distance at all. This medicine has changed my life, I can sleep all night without waking up from pain, I can walk through the mall now and not limp as bad. I still take 6 Norco a day, and my Lyrica 3Xday. But combined with the patch, I feel like I have a new lease on life. The only side effects I have had is a tendency to nod off if I sit down for long, and a decrease in my appetite which is good for helping me lose some weight."


"Well I was having really bad cluster headaches, I took an imitrex for the first time. With in 15 mins I was projectile vomiting and having bad stomach cramps. The taste stayed in my mouth for hours. My headache has went down some but it was still there."


"All I can say is I had two teeth pulled 6 days ago, by the 2nd day I had a horrible taste in my mouth, a constant headache, and pain in my gums while on pain killers. I went to the ER and the Dr prescribed 300 mg every 6 hours. So 4 days now on the medicine and pain killers and my gums still hurts and I still have a headache?  I have been prescribed this medicine in the past and it normally works with no side effects. I have no idea why am I still in pain, while the pain killers do not make it go away, it makes the pain tolerable so I can do my every day things."


"I have just started 50 mg of Pristiq this morning after having a mild panic attack and after about one hour I felt much better.  I have had severe panic attacks and insomnia since my tubal ligation almost a year ago.  I have been through a lot of medications that only left me to feel like a zombie and I am finding that you can compare yourself to others and put yourself in a box or you can realize that God made us all in a unique way and just because one drug works for one person does not mean it will work well for another.  I am still going to take it one day at a time and stay in prayer that the doctors I am seeing will give me medicines to get me the balance my brain needs, to have a healthy and normal life."


"I was prescribed Lyrica for fibromyalgia. The first hour after I took Lyrica I felt better and at night, I slept like a dream. I was on for a total of two weeks in which time I started feeling bloated and put on weight. I am a heart patient and I started getting angina. My blood pressure started to raise. I started getting headaches. My only wish was that I could have continued taking Lyrica as the fibromyalgia pain was gone. But I'll just have to keep looking. "


"Was having abnormal bleeding for month went to emergency room was prescribed pro era for 10 days the day after period and blood clots came back. Went to gyno took ultrasound no polyps no fibroids nothing but was told the lining of uterus is thin. Was given this medicine to take 3 a day first 3 days then 2 a day next 2 then 1 a day. The bleeding has stopped for now and I'm ok day 4. Everyone body reacts differently I haven't had any mood swings or no other side affect so I'm thankful for this birth control.."


"For instant light sedation Valium is the number one choice. It is fast acting even in small dosages like 10mg but for full effect 20mg is preferred. Though it can lead to unwanted dependency after a few weeks so beware."


"I was put on this birth control because the depshot caused heavy nonstop period and now that I have been on the nexplanon I have had on and off periods starting with it going for 2 months to stoping for 3months and put on weight and have now got gallstones from it hoping for my doctor to remove it every time I ask her to take it out and I tell her it's not working she won't do anything about it"


"I have side effects from most brands of genetic metformin because they use cheap fillers. Real Glucophage is my only option. Why is it so expensive? My insurance won't cover it. But I have no side effects. Guess it's worth it."


"I loved this at first. Was able to leave on for the full 7 days. The longer I left it on my skin started to itch. Now, still trying to use it, because it works so well, only can leave on for about 3 days before my skin is totally broke out. I am so disappointed because I'd rather not take pills."


"Excellent"


"I had to go to 800 mg Metaxalone every 6 hours (directions from the inpatient pain specialist) while trying to recover from an emergency laminectomy L3 & L4, even though the regular directions say per 8 hours. It helped for awhile, but now I am off of it temporarily so the spine specialists can figure how much of the scoliosis is due to which spasms. The original injury caused total paralysis progressing over 6 weeks; I had no choice but to get the surgery. Long ago I took Baclofen for the great pain and spasm relief. However, it caused major memory loss and other mental weirdness that caused people to think I was psychotic. Thank God for a wise doctor who knew about this rare side effect. If you take it, BE CAREFUL!"


"Removed this BC after 5 months of use. Gave it 3 stars only because I didn't get pregnant and the method is ideal for someone not interested in daily pills, etc. Other than that, Nexplanon increased my already mild acne to moderate, hormonal acne. Not cool. Also, my first period experience (November 2016) lasted 4 weeks with varying light to heavy days. After having my period twice in February 2017 I decided Nexplanon had to go!"


"I got Nexplanon implanted in August of 2015, and as of January 2016, I'm getting it removed. The positive features were that it was 100% covered by my insurance and that it was effective contraception (my partner and I do not use condoms). After implantation, my period came about five weeks later and did not stop for around three months. I read that this can happen with Nexplanon, so I decided to wait it out, and the bleeding stopped completely after a little over three months later. Then, after only two or three weeks, the bleeding has started again just as strongly as before. My doctor has tried a low dose of estrogen and a regular routine of ibuprofen to see if the bleeding would stop, but neither worked."


"This medicine works wonders for daily anxiety and is better than using Xanax all day because it lasts much longer.  I take Xanax when there is extra anxiety and the two work together perfectly."


"This stuff really does work. My right underarm would sweat almost instantly and would leave the biggest stain. Since using drysol, that has stopped. The only downside is how badly it burns. It burns and itches so badly when you first apply it, but the results are so good that the temporary burn is almost worth it."


"I have been taking Minastrin 24 Fe  for 3 years now and I have no more cramps or period ever! My period stopped completely for a year now! Before I used to suffer from horrible cramps and heavy period but now I feel amazing every month! I totally recommend and wish I had found it when I was a teenager!"


"I take another medication for my anxiety but after consultation with my psychiatrist I use Pregbalin for panic attacks. When I feel an attack coming I  take  75mg  then and again at bedtime. I don't, of course have panic attacks all the time so I'm not using them regularly.I took it a few years ago for anxiety for about 3 months and can't speak highly enough of its properties. It got me out of a hole and I'd sooner be fat than depressed. There are ways of losing weight!"


"This medication was possibly the worst experience of my life. In the matter of a week, i managed to have my boss lose all hope in me, i ruined my 3 year relationship and for the first time in my life, i was so depressed i had thoughts of death ( not to mention I was kind of moody all day). Not to mention it actually made my memory and focus worse! Thank God i had a couple adderall left to make it until my next (emergency) appointment!

Thanks Vyvanse! You really changed my life!

I have a psyc appointment tomorrow morning, i am going back to adderall! Vyvanse didnt last a full week for me, maybe it's different for other people.

"


"I've have an extreme case; it starts in my legs and finds it's way to the arms and everywhere else.  I've spent more nights than I care to remember screaming into my pillow.  Requip completely quiets the syndrome - 100%.  But...then I spend the next two hours wishing I hadn't taken it, due to the endless projectile vomiting.  I cannot take it, as I had developed hypophosphatemia from the vomiting.

(I now take Klonopin 1 mg at bedtime, and it prevents RLS extremely well.)"


"After a severe case of Ross River Fever for which i was taking 50 mg Prednisone daily I developed chronic degenerative Polymyalgia Rheumatica, the pain in my arms, neck, hips, knees, hands and ankles was intense and never ending, i tried all the usual pain killers including Oxycontin and Methadone with varying short term success but the mind numbing daily struggle associated with taking Opiates was taking a toll on my life, my Rheum trialed me on 15 mg mtx weekly for 2 months and the result was incredible, the pain in neck and knees almost disappeared after the first week so the Rheum increased dose to 15 mg morning and night once a week, wow what a difference! few side effects and almost pain free, thank you MTX"


"I started my first dose 4 days ago at the o.6 dose. This morning I took 1.2. I am having quite a bit of nausea and  a very "full" feeling in my stomach as well as have had a headache since several hours after the first dose. On the positive side, my sugar levels have dropped dramatically and I barely have an appetite at all. Went out to eat with the family, fixed my usual "first" plate and wasn't able to even finish it. Normally I would of gone for a second plate too. I am really hoping the side effects of nausea and headaches does subside because I am feeling a bit sick. Most food right now.. just the smells make me feel sick to my stomach. The headaches are the worst part though. Hoping I see quite a bit of weight loss at appointment."


"I was nervouse taking this at first, always have been afraid to take laxatives. After about 2-3 weeks now I've noticed that for the first 12 hours or so after taking Linzess, I have no appetite and very loose BM almost to the point of diarrhea. After that 12 hour window, I'm right back to constipated and in pain from the stomach/intestine cramps. Need to contact the Dr to see what to do now."


"I had severe cluster headaches that were impossible to explain to my local doctor.  Told him it was as though a monster was waking me out of a deep sleep each night at the same time each night. I used the Sansert for approximently 3 months and have never had reoccuring headaches since 1987."


"I'm a 18 year old college freshman and started taking Vyvanse 10 months ago when I had finally gotten medicated for my severe ADD.  It has significantly changed my life for the better. For as long as I can remember, my teachers always told my parents that I was very bright but I just would not "apply" myself but after taking Vyvanse my grades have skyrocketed. I can finally pay attention in class and actually absorb the information. I feel energized, motivated, and more organized to do things.  My days will be filled with productivity and I feel like it boosts my mood in general. My side effects include a slight anxiety because I feel like I should ALWAYS be doing something productive so sometimes its hard for me to relax."


"I'm 27 years old, I was diagnosed with Acute Migraines and my family Dr. prescribed me Amitriptyline HCL 25MG right before Bed. I have had no headaches since then never told I would feel better. But my sensitivity to light has become very bad and I spend the morning hours very sleepy."


"I was told to take one tab per day for environmental allergies. That was too much. I developed a splitting headache after use. So I began taking just 1/2 tab and that works well. The basic side effect for me is a "cloggy" throat. My voice sounds as if I need to clear my throat in a very big way. It does keep the allergy symptoms at bay."


"I have been on BC pills for 5 years. I've tried a ton and had issues with all of them regarding decreased libido, breakthrough bleeding, and moodiness. With Skyla I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday, it's the lowest dose of hormones, and it shortens/ends your period, and is more effective than BC pills in preventing pregnancy. As a married, full time nursing student I knew this would be my best option. Because I have never been pregnant insertion was very painful initially for about 1 minute because they clamp the cervix to stabilize it. I just breathed through it. After the procedure I was fine until I started cramping about 1 hr. After procedure. I slept it off and woke up the next day feeling 100%. Love it so far."


"Nothing else has worked. I'm 37 and never had acne until a year ago. This medication was my last option my dr was running out of options but it has helped greatly. It burned at first and looked like I was sunburned but aloe gel or Cetaphil helps greatly without breaking you out. I highly recommend"


"Tramadol has been very effective for my severe restless legs syndrome. However the body does seem to build tolerancce so you must increase dose from time to time. The withdrawal effects are quite severe. I found that a slow withdrawal helps ease the discomfort. I have also been on Neurontin in the past and had good results for several years but the effectiveness seems to lessen over time and increasing the dose did not help. "


"Kept my four year old up all night . She was miserable and whined all night. Do not use for children this has been awful. She finally got some rest at 10 am the next day."


"this pill made me feel horrible to the point I was depressed & had a mood swings. My parents noticed & so did my boyfriend because I wanted to strangle him.I would cry on the days I took the 7 day non normal pills in the case. Thank God the dr. Changed my Rx & I feel better. To think such a tiny pill can change me into a dr.jekell & mr. Hyde."


"Was diagnosed with Supraventricular tachycardia two weeks ago and was put on Toprol 25 mg a day. It didn't work with bringing down my pulse so doctor increased to 50 mg a day until I see my heart doctor. I have to say that I do not like the side effects. Heavy feeling in my chest, tired all the time, headaches, etc.  Hope my doctor recommends ablation because I don't think I can take this medicine much longer."


"I am just on second day of starting generic Acifex and can not believe how great I feel. I have been in pain and diarrhea for a month due to taking multiple meds for a heart issue. Acifex has been a blessing!"


"This by far was the worst experience on a pill. I rated it a 2 because I didn't get pregnant. I was not only bloated ALL of the time, but literally craved food ALL of the time. I gained 20 pounds in 8 months (went from my normal weight- 115 to 135 in the blink of an eye). I was out-eating my boyfriend who is twice my size. I won't even get into the moodiness. I was depressed for months. I would never recommend this pill to anyone, I don't see how it is still on the market. I switched back to my old pill from my teen years (I'm 32 now) which never gave me problems (Levora) and 2 weeks in, I've already lost all of the water retention and 7 pounds. The food cravings are gone also, finding that I'm having to "remember" to eat."


"Was prescribed this medication for a case of strep throat because I'm allergic to amoxicillin. Took two pills, as directed, at noon with my lunch. Within two hours I was on the toilet with the runs. I don't feel sick. Will take one more a day for the next four so hopefully I don't have to run to the bathroom every afternoon!"


"I had previously used nuvaring with little side effects, had a child and decided to use the nuvaring again... big mistake.  I had breakthrough bleeding all 3 weeks, head-ach's, anxiety , insane mood swings - felt like crying or got super angry at the drop of a hat, not sure if this is attributed to the nuvaring but I lost about 12 lbs in a month.  It also caused uti's after having sex, something that my body previously got used to and wasn't a problem.

Ultimately it is easy to use but it made me totally psycho, I felt relief within hours of removing the ring.  No one in my family has ever seen me like that, and the mood swings, anxiety, paranoia were so bad that it affected my 4yr old."


"Other than Tincture of Opium, Lomotil is the best thing for controlling diarrhea. Because the Opium is so expensive, I often can take only lomotil, and it works at the maximum dosage (and more) to slow down my diarrhea. Without it, I would have nothing to live for, literally. It is a life-saver."


"I had Skyla placed yesterday so this is all still new to me. The doc said it would be significantly more painful for me because I haven't had children. I assumed the position in the stirrups and she started. The clamp they use to stabilize the cervix wasn't that bad. I felt some light cramping but nothing painful. That part was more uncomfortable. measuring the depth of my uterus honestly hurt worse than the IUD itself. She then inserted the IUD which felt like a strong period cramp that only lasted for about 5 seconds. I had pretty severe cramping that night but it wasn't anything a few ibuprofen couldn't take care of. I'm feeling pretty much back to normal now. All in all, I'm very happy with my decision!"


"The most effective over-the-counter drug to reduce the effects of tendonitis.  My tendons can stay inflammed for years and usually only respond to steriod injections.  Aleve has proven to be just as effective."


"Was on trazodone years ago, it worked well for awhile. Just restarted and what a God send. Had been awake for three days. Fell asleep in ten minutes and slept for nine hours."


"I've been on zoloft for since October  29th so about 3 months and I'm not as suicidal but the depression hasn't really gone away (I'm on 50mgs so maybe it's just talking longer  to set in"


"I've been prescribed ability and loxapac for a manic episode on May 19th for slightly more than three weeks. It worked well but early June I started to feel unable to sit  still at some places. Around June 10th I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks, it was pure torture, so back to the institution. Had to wait two days until a doctor showed up , gave me something that stopped it all and removed the two drugs. It might be loxapac. Fact is, since then, there is another torture. Akathisia in the form of wanting to walk all the time. It's been one week now and thanks god it stops at night. I want to live (I'm not even 20)
I pray it stops fast  l've suffered enough.
I really hate Abilify or Loxapac"


"My pain doctor just gave me this because flexeril 10mg three times a day was not working for me. My muscles were just in knots constantly. I can take ativan 2mg hydrocodone 10mg and that all at once and work just fine. But this just knocked me out. I had a really hard time staying awake. So I'm just gonna take half while at work. But this medicine works amazing for me. No bad side effects thus far other than in making me super drowsy. I highly suggest this medicine if you suffer from fibromyalgia or sever muscle spasm like me."


"I've been suffering from depression and anxiety for 8 years with little relief from other antidepressants and combinations (Zoloft, Lexapro, Lexapro & Lithium, Imipramine, Desipramine) and cognitive therapy. I became so sick of switching medications that I just pretended everything was okay until it was too much to bear. I've been on Budeprion XL for about a month now, increased from 150mg to 300mg. Other than a periodic rapid heart beat, some brief sleeping interruptions, and a tad bit of irritability, I can honestly say I'm starting to feel a bit better. I've got more energy than I've had in a long time as well. I would just recommend that if you're a heavy caffeine consumer, maybe cut back a bit to reduce some of the symptoms."


"This drug was prescribed after several attempts on my life in a short period. I was prescribed 75mg for 2 weeks, then 150mg for 4 weeks and finally 300mg for 2 1/2 years. (Daily dosages)

Within the first two weeks I could no longer "climax", I began getting paranoid and went from mild social phobia to debilitating agoraphobia. I became distant from my wife and kids and regular attempts on my life had me in and out of hospital during the entire time on this drug. I tried to withdraw myself as my doctor was reluctant to assist and tried to assure me it was better than not taking it. The withdrawals where like someone letting off fire crackers in my skull, within 72 hours it even effected my vision pulsing white light with every "spark". AVOID"


"I've been on Androgel for 6 weeks now and have experienced a remarkable turn around in my energy, stamina, body strength, muscle definition, clear mindedness, and mega-intensified libido.  Now, I can't see myself getting along without it and don't plan to.  Now I know what it feels like to get my life back again and would consider this medicine nothing less than a miracle."


"Hi I get pimples on my face, nose area especially. I use Altabax when I first detect any sign of pain under the skin. If I catch it early enough, it dries up overnight. If I catch it after the pimple has a chance to harden a bit under the skin, it takes longer. If I waited too long, I'll go for the Doxycycline too."


"I have night time spikes in my blood pressure and I also have Polycystic Kidney Disease which affects my blood pressure a lot because sometimes its too low, sometimes too high! I take lisinopril 40mg Norvasc 10mg and Cadurra 8mg for blood pressure maintaining but I have a script for clonidine 0.2mg twice a day as needed and what usually happens is I take first full dose at night when my blood pressure begins to rise then I wait an hour and check blood pressure and take .1 mg of clonidine and do same thing in another hour and what I've learned is that for me clonidine effects my heart rate within 30 minutes which is not good because I don't really have a high heart rate and clonidine has made me drop into the 40s a few times while trying to lower blood pressure."


"I have very severe acid refulx with esophagal ulcers. I have tried tons of other medications and this is the only one that has given me relief without needing to supplement with antiacids! I do experience headaches as a side effect but they are mild and worth the relief."


"I have had FMS for 5 years now. First few years I really struggled, tried painkillers and anti-depressants which did not help, only made me more depressed and tired. Have been on Lyrica for 2 years now 150g twice daily. It is the only drug so far to work for me. Only side effects are increased appetite. It gives me more energy and helps me sleep. I have lost weight on Lyrica, by been more positive and active. I ignore the increase in appetite and just drink water and it works. Pain is still there but not as bad. It is truly a miracle."


"I'm 35 and slowly been loosing erection strength over the last couple of years. I put this down to highly stressful job and lack of exercise. After discussion with doctor, started me on Cialis 20mg with a view to not needed them after a few repeat scripts. Took the first one 2 days ago. It took about 4 hours to start working but has only just now seemed to wear off. Had headache for the first day but well worth it. Felt like I was 18 again. Even woke up with a morning erection... not done that for at least a year! I recommend for anyone that like me, needs a kick along to keep the wife happy!"


"It works. Less is better anything over 15-20 mg makes me too focused."


"I started 10 weeks ago and saw an immediate drop in my home testing glucose levels, from double figure mmol readings to 4/7mmol after fasting.  I had no side effects at all for the first four weeks but subsequently suffered terrible nausea, overnight hypos, skin rash and the most revolting sulphur/egg-smelling burps (cured immediately by Alka Seltzer if anyone else has the same problem!)  I've noticed no reduction in appetite (except when nausea has prevented me from eating at all) but had already reduced my intake to 1200 calories a day in an effort to lose weight. If anything, Bydureon is hindering my weight loss. I often see no loss after a week of eating like Snow White, which is disappointing. Overall delighted though."


"I was prescribed Gabapentin this past September for sciatica caused by herniated disc.  It worked incredibly well, for about three months, with no real noticeable side effects.  After that, they got crazy.  Body zaps, foggy brain, numbness in extremities, etc.  Now I hurt from head to toe ALL the time, and have every single one of the listed symptoms of fibro.  I wonder if the gaba is actually either causing, or amplifying low key symptoms that I didn't realize I had?  If anyone has any feedback, it would be appreciated.  :)"


"I've taken plan B in the past. Always worked! Minimal side effects . Well not this time. I had unprotected sex and the guy ejeculated in me. I was on the pill but wasn't taking it at the same time everyday. I took the plan be 24 hours after sex. The first 6 days I experienced a DRASTIC change in my emotional state. I felt sad and depressed every day! It was hard to be my usual cheery self! If felt like a cloud over my head that I couldn't get rid of. By the 7th day.I woke up to pain in my lower stomach and cramping in my back . I wanted to vomit and did several times with hot flashes and chills right after. Soon after my period started but the cramps and sick feeling did not go away! I was in bed all day. It works but can make you sick !!"


"My expirience with Mirena has been ok so far. It is nice not worrying about getting pregnant but after getting it put in at my 6 week post pardom appointment I had a lot of cramping and spotting for about a month. Since then I still have a period and it is abnormally heavy and miserable. Before Mirena I had light periods without any symptoms at all so this has taken some getting used to. I would still recommend it because it is nice to know you are protected and you don't really have to do much to keep up with it."


"Lessened my trips to the bathroom but increased stomach pain.  Palpitations and increased acne also.  Stopped after 2 weeks on it."


"This medicine may help but if I missed a day, or tried to get off it completely, worst experience ever.
It's basically pharmaceutical meth, try older meds like dexatrin or Ritalin.
Vyvanse withdrawals are awful so once you're on it it's hard to get off"


"I took Singulair for a week because I was having trouble with my asthma and allergies. But I also have anxiety and panic attacks often and Singulair made it so much worse!! Every time I took it my heart would race and even the next morning I would still have a racing heart. I ended up having panic attacks every day and going to the ER twice in a week while on this. I will NEVER take this again, it's very bad for people who have anxiety. My asthma is still bad but it wasn't worth trying because of the side effects."


"I had a mild YI and it wasn't bothering me a lot but I wanted 100% relief. My mom suggested I use the Monistat 1 and I agreed. Around noon I showered and inserted the little egg and immediately my itching became worse ! I looked up the reviews after this and was terrified . I hopped back in the shower just for soothing relief and it was still irritating and I even used the itch relief cream which was pointless . I was miserable until I ended up grabbing an ice cube and putting it down there and my gosh the relief was amazing ! I iced for about 3 hours bc the itch would not go away I'm now on hour 4 and feel no itch just a warm sensation that is bearable. Take at night ! Walking is not an option when the itch comes !"


"I have pain daily and this medication has caused more side affects than help. I now suffer from insomnia, memory loss, (short term) and leg restlessness. Plus it is so very expensive and has to be mailed so I go through withdrawals every month. I hate this medication !!!"


"I had the paragard inserted 3 years ago after my second child.  Heavy period,  headaches,  bloating,  mood swings and weight gain about 15 pounds.  I had it removed last week. Felt better almost instantly.  I wouldn't recommend.  Also tried the Mirena that was even worse."


"I have been taking 20mg of Parnate every day for a little over a month now after finally convincing my Psychiatrist to prescribe it. I really can't say how effective it has been in terms of alleviating the symptoms of my depression. Diet restrictions have not really bothered me at all . No real physical side effects apart from extreme sun sensitivity. This REALLY bothers me because I'm extremely fair skinned and burn so easily - frequent, and I mean FREQUENT reapplications of sunscreen and sun avoidance are a must for me. Parnate has also decreased the effectiveness of benzodiazepines such as valium and imovane. This has been really frustrating because I also suffer from anxiety and insomnia."


"I just recently had my 2nd Implanon inserted. I got the first one done in October 2007 and had it taken out November 2010 and a replacement put right back in. Since I have had it in my arm, it is still sore a week later and sometimes feels like it is poking me...sharply. I am hoping this goes away soon. With the first one I didn't have a period for first 2 years and then had maybe 4 a year after. I didn't have really any side effects. Although sometimes I can be irritable a little more easily. It has kept me from getting pregnant for sure. I have 3 kids all conceived on birth control so this is the first to have worked. "


"I've had IBS for about 6 years now and this medication works, its somewhat less intense than other meds for IBS but it does the job. Give it a shot its worth it."


"Doesn't work to lower blood pressure. I started this medicine 8 months ago and it hasn't done anything. My dr added Benzepril on top of this and my blood pressure is still the same. Switching to a beta blocker next time I go to his office. Gave it 2 stars because although it doesn't work, I haven't experienced other adverse effects which is a plus!"


"I went to the doctor looking for a contraceptive that would also help with the acne around my jaw line. I don't really get pimples anywhere but around my chin and mouth. I would say that my acne, at its worst was decently severe in that area. Anyway, when I first started using Loestrin Fe 24, my acne in that area was absolutely outrageous. I was getting huge cysts that were very painful. I would get 2 to 3 new ones a week. It was very disheartening, but I decided to stick it out. By the third pack, I watched my acne disappear. I am now on my 4th pack and only get one or two small whiteheads (not big scarring cysts) right before I start taking the iron pills. I like this birth control and with time, I believe it helps acne."


"I have been taking 75mg of Nortriptyline for ADHD for several months and have had no improvement."


"I got my first shot in June 2016 thinking it would be a better alternative from the problems I was having with the pill. I ended up bleeding for a whole 3 months which defeated the purpose of getting it for birth control because I couldn't have sex anyways because of it. I got a second shot in August and the bleeding stopped but I started getting headaches and feeling dizzy frequently. My next shot is scheduled for October but I refuse to get another after reading other women's reviews and horror stories. The side effects are insane and not worth the risk. I would never recommend the shot to anyone."


"I am a 21 year old female. I was on Prozac for ten years (40 mg at the end) before switching to Effexor (37.5 mg at first, 262.5 mg now) because I was having issues with anxiety. I was ok for a while then I became extremely depressed and suicidal. My doctor increased my dose and although it did take away the misery and suicidal thoughts, I wouldn't describe myself as happy. I feel constantly tired, sleeping up to 16 hours a day. I can't work and social situations exhaust me. It took me a while to realize Effexor might be responsible for some of these symptoms. I am talking to a psychiatrist about changing my medication but I'm very worried about the infamous withdrawl from Effexor."


"I just started taking 100 mg twice a day five days ago.  I have degenerative joint disease, osteopenia, arthritis, etc.  Mainly, my neck and hips just kill me!  Sometimes I can't get to sleep, sometimes I wake up feeling absolutely pitiful. I've only been taking ibuprofen 600 mg 3 x day.  Since starting the gabapentin (ALSO started effexor same day) I am able to sleep and it doesn't hurt all the time.  I am sleepy a lot.  It's worth it not to hurt."


"Cymbalta was a miracle for me. I was paralyzed by anxiety and couldn't function in daily life and it made me feel better than I've ever felt in my life. I've tried tons of anxiety/depression meds; Xanax, Klonopin, Buspar, Ativan, Zoloft, Celexa, etc. and they all barely worked, just made me catatonic, or had really serious side effects (listlessness, decreased libido, etc.). Cymbalta made me feel like my true self minus anxiety, rather than a dulled version of myself. It actually increased my libido because I wasn't too depressed to have sex for the first time. I also lost weight while taking it, which wasn't desirable for me, but I know it is for some people. The only negatives I experienced were nausea and decreased appetite at first."


"I've had he Mirena for about a month now. I still have the spotting nearly everyday but it's not terrible. It's annoying im hoping that stops soon.

Insertion was painful but I've had two kids so it really felt like a moderate labor contraction. It wasn't unbearable.

I'm glad I did it! But my partner did say he could feel it during sex which I was a little disappointed to hear. Overall though, so far I'm happy with it!! I had two babies with the Nuva ring so I'm hoping this is 100% more effective "


"Used it first time today. 1 hour and absolutely normal sex. Quite satisfied

Side effects nothing serious so far."


"This product has worked wonders for my red nose, cheeks and forehead.  Amazing!"


"I have been on Xanax for about 3 years and I used to have really bad panic attacks but I don't now. The only problem I have with them is that they have made me gain a ton of weight."


"Mylan your lidocaine patch do not stick. Please fix  or stop making something that is a waste of money and can not use.   Having pain."


"Does what its intended to do!"


"I have had a terrible cold with cough & breathing issues especially at night. This prescription was great for the cough & ability to get some rest."


"My 4 year old had major diarrhea after taking this medication."


"I have been on Contrave for a week. I'm going on my second week and I have dropped about 11 lbs. I started at 197 and today I'm 188. I'm so happy this is working. I have tryed everything to loss and nothing was working till my doctor told me bout Contrave. I have not had any side effects. And now I eat a lot smaller portions and I don't want the craving of snacks"


"I first started Depo in May of 2015. The first month was great, no side effects. When it was time for my period it was light. Well, it seemed to never end. I visited my Gyn and she put me on the pill while I still had Depo in my system, I then started to spot. After the three months  I decided to not try depo again, So I continued to take the pill, but I was still bleeding and spotting. I decided to get off birth control completely and try a new GYN from a different clinic, she said that my body's menstrual cycle is messed up from Depo, that I only shed my lining a little at a time and its still trying to get out of my system so she put me on Provera to reboot my cycle. I also have anemia from all the blood loss for the past 7 months."


"This medicine made me beyond irate! It's supposed to help with anxiety and insomnia due to anxiety. I've been up for 5 days now with an average of maybe 2 hours of sleep if that a night. Complete opposite effect and I'm so tired. But my brain won't stop running with thoughts. Weird thoughts. On the bright side my house is spotless and I've managed to fill my freezer and counter with countless baked foods and pastries. Smh."


"I've been taking this medicine for 7 years. I only take the1mg pill when I'm having a panic attack. Sometimes more than other times. For me it is a God sent. That horrible tightness in your chest, and shortness in breath is unbearable. However I can see how someone could get hooked on this drug."


"I got the implant in March 2014 , it didn't take long to insert but it ached for 5 weeks. For the first 7 months my bleeding was light but now I rarely get a day of no bleeding. I have had side effects since insertion. I've had nausea, painful cramps, tender breast,  Weight gain and fatigue. It hasn't been all peachy but I'm not pregnant. I plan to get it removed it's more trouble than helpful for me."


"Rexulti was amazing for me at first for my panic and anxiety.  It started working within 4 days and I took practically no Xanax while on it.  I was on it 9 months or so.  Then my Psychiatrist did blood work on me and it was terrible.  Things showed up that had never been on a blood report for me before.  I was diabetic, had high cholesterol, had high triglycerides, and my Prolactin level was doubled.  I was on the lowest dose so she told me I had to go cold turkey and gave me benzos other than Xanax to lessen the symptoms.  Coming off Rexulti has been the worst experience ever.  I have had hallucinations, nightmares all night that result in me waking to a panic attack, panic attacks during the day I couldn't get under control with benzos, dizziness, nausea."


"It certainly works but I have experienced blurred vision, stuffy nose and recently after starting the low daily dosage I have serious vision problems and the eye doctor put a shot in my eye. Unfortunately, I am forced to quit Cialis in order to save my vision."


"I was on 400 mgs for six years. In that time it messed with my testosterone. My doctor never said anything about it. Still suffered from manic depression, depression anxiety."


"I started with 100mg a day with no any result, after one month my doc. asked me to increase the dose to 300mg a day, since then I feel good, could say 80% of depression symptoms have disappeared. I still have lack of energy but  now have good mood. BTW, I've been taking it for 8 months."


"Today is my first day on this. I am a 42 yo female. My beginning weight is 211 lbs. not gonna lie, reading get side effects scared me, but I decided to try. I'm cautiously optimistic. So far mild jitters."


"The new Metamucil   made me gain weight i think because of the sugar. My appetite didn't  change. The old Metamucil worked for me ."


"25mg 2x a day. Once upon waking and once in the afternoon seems to get me going with addition to a cup of coffee. The pros are it works similarly to the typical narcoleptic drug. "


"I have had Mirena since December. Initially there was some discomfort for the first week or so but since then I haven't noticed it once. My boyfriend has felt the string a couple times but nothing major. 95% of the time we have sex he doesn't notice it and neither do I. What I like best about it, besides not having to take the pill everyday, is that I only have my period every other month if that. I definitely would recommend it if you hate taking the pill and aren't thinking about having kids anytime soon. Luckily my Mirena was free through the local health center. Definitely worth it!"


"My first implant was amazing with no bleeding or problems really. Only time my hormones were up the spout was when I would have actually been due a period.
My second implant however is a total different ball game, I've had random heavy painful periods lasting for 2-3 weeks, and also gained nearly 2 stone in weight which I have tried every possible way to get rid off but can't.
I'm having it removed next week and going back to the pill with the advice of my nurse and with the hope I can shift the weight gain.
I constantly feel miserable and have no sex drive what so ever.
The pill is less convenient as you don't even need to think about the implant once it is in, but I can't live feeling how I do!"


"I'm 22 and decided to get Skyla for birth control. I have an aura with migraines so my doctor said it narrows my options for birth control as I'm at a higher risk on an estrogen pill. I had Skyla placed 2 days ago. I was nervous for the insertion but it wasn't bad. Just imagine the worst menstrual cramps thats how it feels while it's being put in. It passes after a minute and it just feels like a regular menstrual cramp. I took 400mg of Ibuprofan 20 minutes before and another 400mg for after. I went home and just relaxed and kept a heating pad in majority of the afternoon/evening. My period has ended (I had it inserted midway my period), I just have some spotting but I was expecting way more than this. No complaints so far!"


"I was prescribed this for sleep. Because of my fibromyalgia I wasn't sleeping well. I also was taking Percocets but I decided to stop them and resulted in anxiety. I find this is helping me tremendesly way better than being on any opiate or something thats going to give you harsh side effects."


"I am a high school student (10 grade). Today was my first day taking Vyvanse and I feel like a totally different person! I was very stressed about school because I couldn't concentrate and making bad grades isn't fun so it made me a little depressed. I noticed that I actually felt like doing work (never thought that would happen) and instead of finishing my episode of Teen mom 2 I was eager to do my homework instead! At night I got about an hour of sleep then was up for about 8 hours until it was time to go to school and I forgot to eat the whole day it's just food didn't sound good at all and it gave me so much energy especially because we had to run the mile at school and I ran it very fast because it changes your whole mindset."


"This is horrible. Horrible. Horrible. 1st tube wasn't that bad. 2nd tube the hell started. I thought it was the itching cream because I hadn't put any on the 1st time. So 3rd night comes, I didn't put the itching cream on but the pain is literally from hell itself. I get that there is side effects, but the side effects shouldn't be worse than the original problem. I unfortunately bought the 7 day to avoid going to the doctor and I cannot do 4 more nights of this so I'm going to the doctor."


"I've been taking Concerta for over 5 years now. At first it helped me focus and get my mind together. It also kick started a great social life and got me A's through High School. After the first year though I took a downturn. I became almost emotion less and robotic like, that eventful social life degraded, and I felt like a complete loser. It's a terrible feeling. After 3 years of use I worked to get my social life back and slowly found it once again. Even though I was lacking feelings I learned how I could access my emotions through certain mental triggers. Now five years later my social life is siralling once again and I'm still getting A's, but instead of feeling robotic like I now get intense rushes and euphorias followed by depression."


"I used this product and my vagina was on fire like nothing I'd ever felt before... two baths later I am just now relaxed. I will never use this product again - and to the people who felt tolerable burning, clearly you did not have the same experience as me. This product should be banned."


"My son is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD and is using  Daytrana 10mg which has been the BEST so far! After applying the patch, it takes a couple of hours for the medicine to start working. I noticed that if I place the patch on his hip, but closer to his butt it is more effective. (my doctor said that other parents had noticed that the placement of the patch makes a difference). At school he is able to control his impulses, focus and most importantly still be a 7 year old boy (not a zombie). The only downfalls to this medication is that he does not have an appetite (most of these meds cause this) & the area where you place the patch can get red and itchy. I rotate where I place the patch and use baby oil to remove the adhesive"


"I had some dryness and itching, knew it was a yeast infection (I have a low immune system) and decided to try monistat 3 for the first time. My vag felt like it was going to  die from the monistat 3. I applied it and immediately felt like my vagina was on fire and there was such a deep internal itch. I applied an ice pack and it helped dull it down for a bit. Next morning I went right to walgreens and got the miconazole  (what I have used in past) after just the 1 applicator and the external cream all itching, burning, and dry feeling is gone.
Stick with miconazole."


"I am married and just 2 months ago had a baby girl. I wanted a way to wait a good amount of time without being worried about taking a pill or getting pregnant. When I had this done I took 2 tylonol before I went in and IT DID NOT HURT ONE BIT. I went when I was on my period so this way my cervix would be slightly opened. All I've experience is a bit of cramps and some back pain. My period stop right when it was put in, I was amazed. I love this type of birth control and my husband doesn't feel it so it's perfect."


"I am an 18 year old girl who has had acne since the fourth grade. I have been on countless medications to try and help my skin; Tetracycline, Minocycline, Doxycycline, and Ortho Tri-Cyclen (birth control). None of these helped. I have used Proactive (twice) that didn't help in the least bit, so my last resort was Accutane. I was very nervous about it, having done my research on it, I wasn't sure if I wanted to. Well, let me tell you, I am so glad I did. I am only on my second month, and my skin is so smooth. Before, I had cysts and nodules all along my jaw, my neck, my chest, my upper back, and my cheeks. Now, they're flat and fading. I don't have any on my face, my chest is now drying out, and my neck looks better. "


"I have been on this pill for about a year, after switching from one that made me very very moody. I have noticed a much lower sex drive, but it does its job so I'm not complaining. My period is always on time, I hardly ever spot between them an I am overall very pleased!"


"I am 28 and have severe RA and fibromyalgia. I was on Darvocet which worked good. But then that was taken off the market. I've been on Vicodin for a little while now and it works wonders for me.  Which is great since I'm up chasing my 5 yr old all day.  It's the only other medicine I've tried that actually works."


"My EF has gone from 10% to 30% on a dosage of 42mgs per day.  Of course there are the usual side effects."


"When I was younger I was put on Abilify in combination with antidepressants. I've been off of it for about 5 years or so now. As I recall it didn't do much for me, however my weight skyrocketed during the time I was on it, and it stuck with me even after I was off of it. At my worst I was about 250 pounds. I've lost a lot of weight since then, however, I still struggle with my weight today which creates a self-esteem issue that adds to my depression."


"I suffered from headaches my whole life  (I'm 53). Nothing would help until it was prescribed during my 1st pregancy when I was 38 & suffered even worse hormonal headaches. It was like a miracle drug. I am a huge proponent of being conservative with medications in general & try to live a "natural" healthy lifstyle. A whole bottle will last me over a year. Most of my headaches are tension so when I tried this I almost cried from finding something to relieve my debilitating headaches. If I feel a bad one coming on, I'll take a half one then wait a bit to see how I feel. I'll follow with the other half if it's really bad. Can't say enough good about this medication."


"Really good effect of this Viagra its the best"


"I've been on Aviane for almost 3 months now. It's my first birth control attempt and so far, I haven't noticed and weitght gain. However, I have been very fatigued and headachey for a few weeks after attempting to skip a period for a month (which I thought had no affect on us). I've also had some irregular spotting  but I think this goes away after the first 1-3 months. So far I haven't noticed any mood changes but I do have larger breasts now :) (which is always nice for someone of my previous size). I would recommend this to anyone who can handle a few headaches and possible irregularity for the first few months."


"After having sex and realizing that the condom had broken, I rushed to the drug store and bought Plan B. It was the last day of when my ovulation is the highest so I was panicking. My period was not supposed to come for two weeks, but I got my period today. The only side effects that I had was a decrease in sex drive, lack of appetite, and I was super moody. Thank God for plan B!! It def works."


"I got Skyla inserted 7 months ago. The insertion was painful and it gave me horrible cramps. My periods got super heavy and I get sharp cramps now. I also have been having my period twice a month! It's very heavy. It lasts about 11 days now, then stops for 5, then will last for 9-11 days. I wanted my period to stop not to increase. It said that after 3-6 months my period could stop but I'm on my period right now and it's very heavy. The only upside is that I haven't gotten pregnant."


"Cause muscular and joint pain; stuffy nose."


"I'm a 25 year old woman and I took Yasmin, back home (I'm from Mexico), for six years and it was amazing. I recently got married and moved to the U.S. and switched to Aubra (given to me by Planned Parenthood). I've been on Aubra for four months now and I absolutely hate it. I broke out like crazy, my mood swings are just incredible, PMS is horrible, my sex drive is gone and natural lubrication is a problem for me now. I never had any of this problems before and there's no way I'm sticking to Aubra. Yes, it keeps me from getting pregnant, but the side effects are not worth it. I just got three boxes of Yasmin and I'm waiting to finish my current Aubra box to switch back to Yasmin."


"I hated it! Did not help my skin whatsoever and I had to get off it within a week due to bad side effects. Epiduo made my skin burn extremely badly whenever I put it on my face, it made my eyes water and almost had me in tears. As well as that, it made my skin super sensitive, it now stings to put moisturiser, foundation or anything on my skin! My skin went super red & flakey. Would definitely not recommend as I'm still experiencing the redness, sensitivity and extreme dryness after being off Epiduo for 4 days."


"I've been on this for over a year and have had no side effects that I've noticed. I cut the packaging apart and carry a pack of 4 weeks with me in my purse so I think the packaging works fine."


"I've been on 10 mg for five days.  First day I had the shakes n cold n hot , second day I was lil better the shakes stop but didn't eat much , third day I ate two meals n moved around n threw up that night , fourth day I ate like no other but had diarrhea , fifth day lil out of it , yawning a lot yes , sometimes it hard to sleep then others , heart rate lil high at times too but I'm I hope I'll be OK I'm only 5 foot n weighs 109 pounds I dont do well with meds."


"With genotype 1 Hep C, I took Sovaldi/Ribavirin/Pegylated Interferon for 12 weeks this past summer. There was 0 viral load after 4 weeks, 0 after 12 weeks. After 9 months, the viral load returned at 1,496,000. I engaged in no behavior that causes Hep C - no needles, no sex; I did not drink any alcohol. My doctors' only answer is that the cirrhosis of the liver was so bad (compensated cirrhosis) that not all of the virus was cleansed out of the dead parts of the liver with just 12 weeks of Sovaldi.
I am now on the Harvoni for 24 weeks, hoping that the longer regimen of the two drugs - Sovaldi and Ledipasvir - will totally clean out the virus from the liver."


"Nucynta is indeed a Novel medicine. I have Scoliosis with a 31 Cobb angle and I have tried so many different medications, alternative medicine (including Chiropractors and Acupuncturists). The reason why Nucynta is great is because it takes away most of my pain and it relaxes me. It has no "Euphoric Feeling" which makes it good for long term use without a potential for abuse. That's why I believe that your Pain Doctor would also feel more comfortable prescribing it. I have been on it for a month now and I can tell that it works perfectly. The only problem with Nucynta is that it makes you drowsy (and for me it makes me go to sleep, so I cannot take it in the morning). "


"I would definitely recommend epiduo for anyone struggling with acne. I have suffered since I was 15 and I am now 29. I have had some major flare ups over the years & have tried all sorts of treatments that eventually helped clear it up but once stopped taking any medication it would come back with a vengeance. This is the only treatment I have found that really worked for me. My skin is amazing now & I rarely get even 1 spot! This is something I NEVER thought I'd be able to say.

I started by using this in conjunction with antibiotics for the first couple of months now I just use this alone & it keeps it at bay. There are initial side effects & you have to be prepared for the stinging & burning but push through it. You won't regret it!"


"Maxalt_MLT is effective is arresting a my migraine. It does come with a price. It makes me very sleepy and I tend to have rebound within 24 hours and require a second dose. I do think riding the migraine out would be much worse. It is a great medicine. Nothing else has worked as well."


"I've took this for the first time today. I was prescribed it after very painful periods and advised to take when I have pain for as many days as I need (the first day being so bad I am crying in pain and having time off work) I started to get period cramps today took 1 dose and within an hour had no pain at all. I usually have vomiting and diarrhea with the first day but this has disappeared as well. It has also made my period so much lighter. Best medication I have had for period pain."


"Ok so I have had plaque psoriasis since I was 14 years old and I have tried every cream, every lotion , even certain foams and I have even been prescribed humira and none of of has worked the way taltz had . I took my 1st 2 shots Wed and it is now Saturday and I have noticed a big difference in just a few days ...no more itching ... The inflammation has gone down immensely.. And I can finally be comfortable putting my jeans on now ... I know that every one is different when it comes to treatment ...I'm just glad I have found one that finally works for me :)"


"Great. Just take them 5 mins before bed."


"I love this medicine but I can't perform on the job if I take it. I am at work right now and I just want to sleep under my desk. But I now have minor pain instead of bad pain. Nice."


"After starting wellbutrin I didn't notice any effects until week 5, I am now on week 9. I feel so much better than before, my self image and self confidence have skyrocketed, my libido increased, I am so much more optimistic and happy too. Honestly can't say enough positive things about Wellbutrin."


"After turning 53,  I noticed I was having some issues getting a good, hard erection so as to comfortably penetrate my wife. Sex is now awesome!,  and I now out last my wife!.  I was perscribed the 20mg pill,  but use a pill cutter,  as 10mg is a better dose for me,  and lessens the facial flushing & mild headache from the full dose,  and sometimes 5mg works well as well.  "
