"This is just an amazing medicine. I started on this many years ago in the UK and the relief it brought was just plain wonderful. After losing 120lbs in weight, I found the medical condition pretty much went away, but with a lot of stress recently and putting 30lbs back on the reflux is back. So is the Zantac, thank goodness. Highly recommended medication which I have always kept handy (just in case)."


"Absolute nightmare. I've have Nexplanon in my arm for 9 months and I've never experienced a more uncomfortable birth control in my life. I've never had acne in my life, now I break out all the time. Mood swings left and right that have led to full on breakdowns. I'm always tired, can't get out of bed some days. Get used to getting your period twice a month. Currently I'm on a period that has lasted over 3 weeks straight and I'm not talking spotting- it's a full on blood bath with visible clotting. I'm losing a lot of blood and it's completely ruined my sex life. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy."


"Do not waste your money, I repeat do not waste  your money.

I have been taking alli over a week now and it has made me bloated and I even gained a pound.

Last night was the last straw, as I was washing my hands I had a orange oily accident and this is was so embarrassing it leaked through the shorts and I almost cried.

Now I'm stuck with a bottle of capsules and out $70 a complete waste."


"This has to be the best pain medicine there is. However I'm a little worried how I'm going to feel once I'm off of  it. It takes the pain away and gives me such bursts of energy."


"I don't tend to write reviews but this medication has been such a blessing.  It is a horrible feeling knowing that you have this STI but I just keep reminding myself that it is so common.  I have been on this medication since July 2016.  I was prescribed it after my 1st breakout in June 2016.  I have not had a breakout since my initial breakout.  My husband has not contracted herpes.  I didn't have any side effects when starting the medication.  I usually take it faithfully during the week but on weekends I tend to forget to take it."


"I tried cymbalta right after I gave birth and I noticed a difference within days. My.mood swings before my period get very bad and I thought the medicine wasn't working anymore so I switched to prozac. Big.mistake. I couldn't get out of bed. I switched back to cymbalta and am on day 2 and feel good. Never had side effects or anything like that. This has always been fast acting and an overall good medicaton for depression and my anxiety."


"I've only been on this for a few days, and I know my body needs time to adjust, but I just spent the last 4hrs (3-7am!) throwing up without cease. I have had horrible, horrible cramps, like, on-the-floor-screaming cramps (which is why I started taking these pills), but at least those only lasted an hour at a time tops! I'm worried about missing school, and I can at least try to manage my cramps like I have before. I can't vouch for its effectiveness, only the side effects I suffered, but I may consider trying it again during a break when my body has time to adjust without worrying about missing classes."


"Personally I liked the nexplanon when I first got it, well until I had sex. After a month of having the implant I had sex for the first time since having it implanted then the next day I had a period and stayed on for almost a month and a half. After that I went to my doctor and my iron and vitamin D was very low so I had to take pills for that as well. I stopped having a period heavy period for about 2 months. After each time I had sex I started my period tho which is still annoying. I've had it since 10-2016 and its a good birth control but only because I haven't gotten pregnant but otherwise I wouldn't recommend. My breast hurt so bad all the time. My skin has broken out . I've gained 30  pounds and I'm always angry. I get heat flashes!"


"I got the skyla placed in October. Since then,my skin has improved and I have began to lose weight. I was unable to lose weight on depo and I'm just happy that skyla has been able to put me back on track. However, in Feb. I had a 13 day period. I would recommend skyla to anyone and it is definitely worth it."


"I've been on this for of BC because I generally get sick on combo pills. I was told by my PCP that it'd help control my cycle and make a bit more predictable. I've been on it for under a month and I'm already not liking it. I started it the first day of my cycle; bleeding seemed to get heavier with large clots (normally med-heavy with very small clots), constant headache, and I've broken out with very painful zits on my chin and forehead (skin is generally clear). Skin is oily now as well. I'll definitely be looking for a different type of BC."


"I've used this product before with no problems until now ,I woke up to go pee and right afterwards the burning started I tried to wash with just water ,now I'm laying down with an ice pack .if I don't feel better in the morning I'm calling my doctor"


"This medicine is really helpful with voices but my paranoia and depression has got worse"


"I am 21 years old and I have had sever anxiety and OCD for 5 years. I almost didn't graduate high school and almost lost my job because I couldn't even get out of bed or leave the comfort of my own home so I resorted to medicine. I was also dealing with a slight depression at the time and so my doctor recommended Paxil to me and for 2 years I have been on the 10mlg dose and it works wonders! The only negative thing that I have to say about it is that I don't feel like I have a lot of energy and it made me gain 50lbs..I attempted to get off and with counseling deal with my anxiety on my own and went through extreme withdraws, (brain spasms!!, mood swings, depression.) I love this stuff it changed my life but it sucks  coming off of it."


"I got my Paragard about two months ago now. I love it! The only negatives I've encountered because of it is very intense cramps during the first four days of my period and occasional spotting while I'm not on my period, both of which I've never had to deal with before getting it inserted. As for the cramps- they're terrible (and I would describe myself as having a high pain tolerance), and can leave me short of breath if I don't keep up to date with Midol and Pamprin for the first 4-5 days of my cycle. If I do, it's completely manageable!"


"You body does take time to adjust to it. The first time I took it, I had it for 6-7 months and felt nauseous right after taking it and would get horrible headaches. I forgot to refill the prescription so I was back on it a month later. And three months after that I'm still experiencing nausea and headaches, but now I have light spotting a couple days before my period, and it doesn't start until 1-3 days after the sugar pills. The only upside, is no pregnancy and it's cheap!"


"I have had this for a full year now. Up until November my face was clear. Now I get crazy breakouts no matter what I do.I have not gained any weight but I never experience weight gain with any BC. I have however noticed about a month ago now a huge decrease in my sex drive. I never mentioned it to my husband but he said something to me. I literally have to make myself have sex and that has never been an issue before."


"Buspar seemed to increase my anxiety and caused sleep disturbance.  I woke up several times during the night feeling anxious."


"Nightmare antibiotics!!!!!!!!!!Yes. It took care of uti.......Right away. But!!!!!!!!!I felt tumbling in my entire body, couldn't breath ,felt like I was dying, chocking, and overall felt dizzy as hell....No more!!!!!!!!Theres no way....Do not take it. Try anything else. This is killing product....Disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I basically love trying everything... And this is actually a really good supplement, I tried 2mg tabs but I've learnt my body is quite strong against drugs... So whilst I was abroad (need a prescription in the uk) I got 5mg tabs and wow! I'm out with in an hour. If you find you're taking it with no effect, keep taking it for 2 weeks then stop for 3-4 days then start the cycle again, I found this the best way to maximise its effects. If it doesn't hit just take 2 but I can't recommend more as I haven't tried that. DO NOT EVER TAKE SLEEPING PILLS! Worse than lsd."


"I have been taking Sitagliptin combined with Metformin for about four years - slowly slowly my weight has dropped. I have had to make major changes to my diet to avoid being sick at about 4am every day. I am now starting to get significant pain in my joints and am probably going to come off the Sitagliptin for a month and see what happens. Overall Sitagliptin has been an excellent treatment for my reactive hyperglycemia."


"I get horrible side effects from literally every other antibiotic out there, except for Avelox. Of course all medications affect people differently, but I have never felt any of the effects people list here, except for a little fatigue. This medication works very well."


"Imitrex is a wonderful medication! I have had hormone-related migraines for a few years now, and while NSAIDs would shorten them, they wouldn't eliminate them completely. I only had to take a 25 mg Imitrex pill and rest for a little bit, and my headache was gone within an hour or so! The only side effects I may have experienced were a slight ache around my forehead and jaw as the headache was fading and a little bit of feeling "out there", though these feelings could have been due to the migraine itself. Overall, I would highly recommend this medication and am very grateful to its makers!"


"Blood sugar has gone through the roof. From normal range (for me, about 100 pre-meal to 140ish 2 hours after a meal) to steadily around 300.  Some weight gain.

Mood is improved quite a bit, so high marks for that.

Sexual side effects are extremely frustrating. Everyone says they will diminish in time, but it's been 6 months. Not a problem with ED or stamina, but getting to orgasm has proven elusive.

The blood sugar is the major concern, so if my doctor can help me get that under control I may continue. Otherwise I'll talk with my psychiatrist about dumping it."


"I've been on this for 1 1/3 months (switched from Depo Shot) and I'm not sure I like this when I started it just 9 days in I got my period and at the end of the pack I didn't get a period and now I'm on week 3 of my second pack and no period like last month. So I'm a little worried and I get headaches a lot and my breasts hurt (this just started a week ago). If by the end of this pack I don't get my period then I'm going to the doctor."


"I've had pelvic pain and problems for the past 4 years. Had TVT mesh surgery in 2010. Countless Dr. visits for what I felt like a really bad yeast infection. Dr. just kept putting me on different medications. After Following Interstitial Cystitis diet for 3 months Went to Urologist and was told I have Over Active Bladder not IC, added Oxybutnin. Finally found a pelvic specialist OBGYN/URO 3 months ago. Had 5 Rimso 50/ heparin instillation, 1 to go. Added Valium suppositories, Tramadol and urostym therapy. IC symptoms are better as long as I stick to the diet. I have been on the Elmiron for 3 days, with 176 days to go. Migranes for the first 2 days. I am exhausted all the time, my body aches. I'm really hoping this goes away. All I want to do is sleep."


"I heard/felt something in my shoulder tear ( Torn tendon in shoulder ). Went to Dr when ibuprofen and paracetamol no longer worked. Prescribed 500mg naproxen twice day. This was last wed. It's now Sunday and the constant dull pain down my arm has come back. The naproxen worked really well for about 48 hours. It didn't stop the agony every morning. Painful when changing gear when driving (UK). Have MRI scan in 10 days. No side effects although my hot flushes ( menopause) seem to have got much worse over the last 2 days ( on clonidine for those)"


"horrible lost all sex drive, was hungry all the time, cried for no reason, really annoyed 24/7, felt like a monster, made me self-conscious and feel worthless. stopped after 2 weeks."


"I'm 34 and was prescribed this pill for irregular periods. I've only been on it for a week and I'd rather deal with bleeding for a month straight than the side effects that I'm already experiencing:

*extremely bloated

*had a couple of painful pimples pop up on my face and my chest

*have sore and swollen breasts

*increased appetite with 3 lbs. gained weight

*and the worst of all, have zero sex drive and am a psycho bitch to my husband who does not deserve to be treated like that

I'm throwing the rest of them straight in the garbage."


"I have been on the Depo shot for about 8 years now. I love it. No periods or spotting. Cramps sometimes but nothing outrageous. I think its a very good birth control."


"The first week my skin got very dry and patchy. It peeled a good bit. The second week my skin broke out worse than it ever has, and I started getting really discouraged that it wasn't working and I felt like it had made my skin worse. I am now about to finish up my third week, and my skin is really clearing up well. I would say be patient with this product and give it one full month, and you will begin to see results. The method I use is washing my face, patting it dry, putting on a moisturizer, waiting about 10-15 minutes, then applying the veltin only on the acne spots. This has seemed to work best for me."


"I have been on the medication for the last 3 months for depression. The first time I took the pill at 20mg it made me very thirsty, gave me restless sleep, very dizzy when standing from sitting, I felt  "high" and was spaced out for the whole day I felt weird; especially while driving. I started to half the pills for the next month and gradually started taking the full dose. At this point I feel like the meds are working and my crying spells have decreased dramatically. I am no longer super snappy at my kid and have more patience in general. I still continue to have dry mouth from time to time about 2hrs after I take the meds."


"Zoloft is great it really has helped me with depression and anxiety. I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and getting depressed and upset triggered severe asthma attacks. I take 100mgs twice a day. It has really been a blessing. Don't listen to any of us, every person is different try it and see what it does for you, then you and your Doctor can decide the proper treatment for you. "


"I've had eczema my whole life but the past 2 years have been the worst and I'm 30.  It's been life changing and so debilitating.  My dermatologist said I was the worst case she's ever seen after 20 years in dermatology.  I mean everywhere, tried to everything, scratching constantly, all night, in meetings, after the shower, I've lost sleep, cried a lot, been miserable.  I've been on Dupixent for two weeks and my skin has never felt so smooth!!  Cleared up about 85% of my rashes after about 4 days after my first dose.  When I sweat no itch which is so rare.  I don't wake up to dry flaky skin everywhere.  I'm so happy and amazed, I hope it keeps workin like this because my quality of life is gonna be so much better.  God this stuff is great!!"


"This medicine can be very dangerous and send you into Serotonin Syndrome. I ask everyone out there to please know the symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome and report to you nearest Emergency Room Immediately if you are having symptoms."


"Aged 41 I spent every day thinking that I had cancer first finding a lump in my stomach and after GP told me this was nothing I was fine for a month or so until I then thought I had found a lump in my groin, I couldn't take anymore and broke down in front of my wife due to the exhausting worry. I had always been a worrier but this was more and was taking control of my life. I couldn't go out of the house on my own I was irritable and depression was taking hold. GP prescribed me Diazapam which helped like a sticking plaster and I was then put on 20mg Prozac. Please give at least 7 weeks to work and you do feel worse before feeling better! Trust me! Brilliant."


"It's only been about 4 days since my first loading dose and I am absolutely amazed at how much my skin has improved and I'm feeling a lot less itchy. I've struggled with severe eczema since I was little and to finally experience relief is really exciting and amazing. I'm so grateful and happy to finally be feeling better and to know that others who struggle can feel better too!"


"I used this medicine under strict supervision at a pain management center after failed trials with Opana and Kadian which made me ill. Vicodin was not strong enough as I have had open back surgery from my skull to mid back to drain a spinal cord cyst called a "syrinx." My spine was arthritic and required struts to rebuild it; I now have chronic acute pain just holding up my head (max 5-6 hours at a time). Also have chronic low back pain arthritis and herniation with tear. Thankfully it relieved my pain and helped me function somewhat normally for 5-6 months. Then one month the refill arrived two days late and I went through withdrawal, suffering horribly with dark suicidal ideation and depression. I got off it. Now on Percocet, not ideal."


"I'm an absolute wreck on this!!

I cannot stop crying. I lose it over the smallest things and make it into a huge problem.

Another huge problem for me is that I've lost my libido since being on Nexplanon which is puts a strain on my relationship.

Feeling very anxious too.

Booking an appointment to have mine removed.

I never put all this down to my implant until speaking to others."


"Frova does a wonderful job of relieving my migraine headaches after 20-30 minutes however I always get one or two rebound headaches.  Almost exactly 24 hours and then 48 hours after my original headache, my migraine returns and I have to take another pill.  Unfortunately my insurance will only pay for 6 tablets a month.  Luckily I usually only get 2 menstrual migraines a month but it takes all 6 pills to get rid of them."


"Ok so this is an update I have been on the cream for 1 month and I keep getting whiteheads I am starting to think that it does not work...anyone had the same issue?"


"I am a 50 year old male. I did not have a heart attack but did get three drug coated stents. Since I started taking Bystolic there has been a big improvement in my life. Blood pressure was controlled and I do not need a nap at 4pm every day. Thank You Bystolic."


"I have been struggling with my weight for some time now and decided to speak with my Internist to see if she would give me a script for something that would curb my appetite for sweets & fast food. She prescribed Contrave, honestly I've never heard of this drug before. Did some research & read everyone''s comments and honestly, I was frightened by the many side effects. I'm so desperate to lose the weight, I started my first dose today. I took the pill around 7:30 this morning and didn't begin to feel nauseated until around noon. Since most of the suggestions, said to drink water to help with the nausea. I found when I ate a few saltine crackers the nausea went away. Then came a slight headache. Other than that, I'm fine. Good luck everyone"


"Hi Guys, I was prescribed sertraline 3 weeks ago as I was suffering from frequent panic attacks, we have no idea how these attacks started as I'm a fit healthy 19 year old male, I'm also type 1 diabetic, I've had attacks on and off for the past two months now for no apparent reason and these attacks are really bad guys, I'm talking my heart is racing, sweats, dizziness, shaking and lately I'm getting episodes of a crazy burning/tingling sensation throughout my chest and into both arms that lasts about a minute max at a time, I've had all my ECG and blood tests done and they seem to be fine, the only thing that's high is my blood pressure, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this burning/tingling sensation?? is it anxiety??"


"I have peripheral neuropathy and painful problems with my spine. I've tried many different combinations of medicines. Nothing has helped as much as the current combination of 900mg 3 times a day of Neurontin and 60mg a day of methadone. I don't feel high and it's helped my quality of life. I live alone and can now do things for myself."


"You get used to this and need to take more, or not take it (therefore not drive) for about a week. But only 'helpful' insights will be printed (after editing). So my saying $3600 a month for 60 pills? Really? Are they worth their weight in gold? They don't seem to have any side effects, for me. Other then tremors. So that's a plus. Should they cost more than most people make in a year? I am disabled, and receive $10,000 a year. After researching I'm not finding any major payouts from the company, due to lawsuits. (I realize awards are confidential, but there hasn't been many cases. Who(m) am I kidding. This won't be printed. I just HAD to say something, because the cost is  abominable. Ok. I c $$ How did u do the A-spam thing? Impressed!"


"It caused a severe reaction for me. I started going into hyper-mania with racing thoughts, anxiety, trembling and upset stomach."


"I have had this birth control now for 2 years. It was basically painless getting it inserted and I love the idea of safe long term birth control. The downside to this is I'm almost always on my period, my moodswings are quite intense and I've definetly had weight gain. Tomorrow I'm having it removed and replaced with the Paragard 10 yr IUD. I'm sick of having a period every other week this thing has got to go!!!!!!!!"


"After suffering since 2008 a trip to the Emergency room Thanksgiving 2012 resulted in a prescription for Nexium. It has been a life saver, I have been on it less then a week. After having episodes of throwing up at least 5 times a week during the night and heartburn daily my throat was raw and I constantly had issues. It has been amazing to be able to again eat what I want without the repercussions. I was afraid to try it because of the cost pre-insurance but I printed a online discount card and used my insurance and it was very affordable and not to mention I am able to sleep through the night without having my head elevated and the other issues I was having. I have 7 ulcers diagnosed in 2008 and haven't had an issue all week. I LOVE NEXIUM!"


"I'm 23 got I just got presrecribed 10 mg ambien for sleep . is was probably the best sleeping thing for meds I've had for insomnia. I've never had any weird experience or others problems either. Even though I've been on it for 6 months now."


"I took augmentin for 3 days and developed severe tachycardia.  My heart rate even went to 180  where I had to end up going to the emergency room.  Left there with orders not to take augmentin and  was given prescriptions for ativan (my resting heart rate was 130) and clindamycin"


"I've had depression since my teenage years but never spoke to anyone about it and didn't take anything for it until 2 and a half years ago when I had a bad run of luck with a few big things close together, it all got too much and I took a massive amount of prescription medication to try and end my life, 16 hours later I was woken up by my mum and taken to hospital. The Drs said most people wouldn't of woken up or at least had severe organ damage but I was ok, no damage. That's when I had to speak to Drs, psychs, family and some friends. They put me on lexapro and it worked fairly well for 2 years but when a few bad, stressful situations happened again it failed the test, I'm now trying venlafaxin, not sure yet but hopefully I get better results"


"I just began Chantix and really want to quit; after one day of taking the medicine I have a severe allergic reaction, rash in the buttocks region. I have also felt sickly, lethargic and have strange visions. I have several friends who have taken the product with no side effects whatsoever, so I believe it is a case by case basis. Immediately, it curbed my cravings and cigarettes tasted horrible. However, I must be too sensitive to the drug so I will look to going cold turkey or reduce the dosage."


"This bowel prep was a disgusting experience and major failure.  The problem is that it taste like a very strong cherry cough syrup.  Diluting it with water didn't work for me.  I got a few ounces down before my gag reflexes kicked in.  Called the doctors office and the nurse told me to mix it with some juice.  I mixed it with juice and lots of ice and drank as much as I could get down with a straw.  After I got it down I had sips of ice tea, cola and a popsicle to try to get the taste out of my mouth so I could finish the rest of the dose.  None of this worked.  On my final attempt I vomited.  "


"I'm 19 and this anxiety and OCD had been poured on me out of no where. It scared me so bad I felt like I couldn't live my life. I went to the ER and they prescribed me Ativan 1 mg 3 times a day. It was extremely effective. The first week I was only taking half or sometimes 2. I've been on it for 3 weeks and am waiting to get on a SSRIs for more long term. Ativan is helping me through my days. I am just nervous about withdrawals because I don't take them as prescribed only as needed."


"Been on off the drug for 18 months, not on any regimented schedule, but as of now I am able to skip a treatment, the same a year ago.  But this time I am taking herbs and a more veggie type diet, which for the past 6 month has equated to no longer have hypertension. 116-126/70 etc verses 142-155/90. (depends on when I am checked).  Cutting meat and adding Q-10 and Phytosterol complex, some Fish/ Krill oil and garlic helps a lot.  I say helps, the aforementioned items are the variable plus stopped using Generic Areds2 and back to the more expensive Brand name Areds2. I have two insurance polices  Tricare always turns down claim due to the word injection triggers the non-Ambulatory (Dr Office walk in, not surgical center)"


"My vag is burning and itching worse than before I inserted the cream. I'm on day three and will be calling the gynecologist tomorrow. I'm thinking it's causing a chemical burn. I'm now seeing a tinge of blood. There is something totally wrong with this product."


"Was on Cymbalta until it quit working and switched to Viibryd.  Quit taking the Viibryd after 6 weeks. This medicine was not for me.  Appetite was uncontrollable and gained 11 pounds. Agitated very easily, always tired.  Currently not on any antidepressants and doing much better."


"Among other diagnosis, I have major depression, and for the past 25  years have been prescribed many antidepressants.  Previous to Citalopram, I took an antidepressant that began to positively affect my frame of mind.  However, after a month of use, and increased doses prescribed by the Dr., did not help.  With Citalopram, after one month of miraculous mood improvement, I suddenly got dropped back to where I felt a month ago.  I have yet to see the Physician to inform him."


"I started using phentermine a few months back and it has been great for me.  I have lost 26 pounds so far!"


"This is the absolute worst product I have ever used. I had a yeast infection and couldn't bear the discomfort any longer so I bought the Monistat 1 and took it around 8:30pm I felt a little burning at first but nothing crazy. Fast forward to 2am and 4am I was woken out of my sleep to the intense itching and pain. It was terrible. By the next day I was completely swollen, sore, burning and itching. It was the worst experience I've ever had. I was tattooed the same day for 6 hours straight and that was 100x less painful then the Monistat reaction. I ended up having to go to the hospital who told me that indeed I had a bad reaction because the product was way too harsh and strong. Go to your doc ASAP!! It won't get better itself."


"I thought Entyvio might have been the next best treatment, after I could no longer take Remicade and Humira. I started the injections in May and my ears started to bleed a week after the injection. After a month on the medication I have full body itching. Lastly, after five months on the medication I am also sneezing have patches of dark red angry rashes that are the size of a silver dollar. I would highly recommend close observation on this medication and speak to your doctor right away when any of these side effects occur. In my case they are only increasing with more exposure."


"Migraine headaches have plagued me for the last 5 years. They are a daiIy occurance and I wouldn't wish this level of pain on anyone. I tried every non narcotic medicine - propanalol, Imitrex, ibuprofen, cyclobenzine, Cafergot, even botox and aromatherapy it smelled good but didn't help. Finally my neurologist suggested Norco. At last some substantial pain relief. Now I can function and get things done, the Norco has definitely helped me."


"I went to the doctor asking for birth control with the simple request for something that wouldn't break out my skin. For some reason, they prescribed me Aviane. Before taking this pill, my acne was mild to moderate. I would break out around my period, but nothing too crazy besides that. After one month of taking this pill my acne has been the worst it's ever been in my entire life. I never used to get acne on my chin, but now my chin has erupted and looks slightly pizza-ish. I have cystic acne like I never used to. I wouldn't advise this pill to someone looking for a BC that will fix acne, because this certainly wasn't the case for me. I will give this pill points because it did regulate my periods and lessened the severity of my cramps."


"I haven't become pregnant on this pill, it is my 3rd month, but my mood is terrible. I feel bloated a bunch on it, and my back hurts all the time. Now I have break-through bleeding. I don't know what will come next but I'm not going to be on this much longer. (I have no acne from it though which is a plus)."


"I have been using this medication for about 15 years at 60mg a day, to treat severe GERD. Doctors in general are reluctant to prescribe this dosage, but in my case it was necessary. I had been using Zantac and Prilosec prior to that and graduated onto this as a last resort. It has cleared up most of the oesophogus erosion. There seems
to be no side effects that I am aware of, but would be interested if anyone has noticed an uptick in kidney infections."


"Upper respiratory infection sent me to an urgent care center, where 100mg of Tessalon Perles was prescribed. This lowest dosage relaxed the lung muscles so I didn't suffer from the coughing spasms and while I still had to sleep sitting up I was more comfortable. Prescription was for 3xday but I only took it twice daily.

Follow-up visit to my primary care doctor resulted in a prescription for 200mg twice daily and that dosage was too much for me. I had a scary episode resembling a heart attack and stopped the medication immediately. Heart pounding, chest muscles tightened front and back, profuse sweating, dizziness, one episode of vomiting. I consumed large quantities of water to flush the drug out of my system and will never take it again."


"I am a diabetic and although I eat healthy and exercise even though my cholesterol for a normal person is ideal, for a diabetic person is too high. So my doctor put me on this medication and told me the most common complain from her patients are muscle cramping. However when this cramping is affecting my daily life and work life, (it mainly affects my arms muscles) I believe this is not the right medication for me. I'm awaiting for my family doctor to call me and reassess the situation.  As for the efficiency of the medication, I really don't know since I haven't had a blood work since I started taking the medication."


"After 4 lumbar surgeries, pain in my legs and lower back were extremely intense with a maximum sitting time of 10 minutes before pain reach a 9. I worked with a pain management clinic and was prescribed hydrocodone. This pain reliever helped for about 6 months and then the pain seemed to have increased to an unmanageable level. I worked with the pain management center and was prescribed Nucynta ER 200mg. The combination of Nucynta and Hydrocodone provide a level of pain relief that makes life tolerable. I can work a 45 hr week provided I have the pain relievers. Without the pain relievers I would likely be not able to work. "


"From the first day I started VesiCare, my urges stopped.  I'm now able to get to the bathroom without accidents."


"I am a seasonal allergy sufferer ...and some years they are worse than others.  This year I have been miserable, always either sneezing  continually or not able to breathe, or a continuous runny nose, bleeding nose...tired and just not able to function!!  None of this fun or attractive.  I remember my doctor prescribing Nasonex a few years back and I went back and asked for it again. Within 2 days I felt back to my normal self and was able to breathe properly.  No more lethargy and no more nose bleeds.  It truly is a miracle for me with no side effects. "


"My girlfriend asked me if I love her more than anything. I told her that I do love her more than anything but my verapamil!"


"I started Vivitrol in January 2015 after getting an OUI Drugs & a heroin posession charge b/c knew I needed to stop using, but I didn't really want to. Between January and April I got my monthly shot but I still tried to use every now and then (but I couldn't get high). My insurance was cancled in May so I took the opportunity to get high. I ended up getting another OUI & spent a month in jail till my next court date. I went straight from court to my doctors office to get an injection and I've gotten 1 every 28 days since (07/15 - 07/16).

I'm not sure how Vivitrol effected my cravings because my first time on it, the thought of giving up heroin was devastating to me. Now I can't believe how much time I wasted getting high.

LOVE VIVITROL!!"


"Has never helped. My PCP doesn't prescribe it anymore"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Eliquis for 18 months for atrial fib.  I have not experienced any side effects other than I bruise more easily than before.  I had a cryogenic heart ablation performed 8 months ago,  followed up with heart monitoring for 2 weeks.  My surgeon has released me to go off all heart medications as of today (sotolol, Eliquis)."


"Bactrim cleared up my urinary tract infection, but gave me a raging yeast infection.  I now request Keflex for UTI's."


"I had the Kyleena inserted today. I was very nervous going into the appointment because of the experiences that I read on here. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting! The whole thing took about 5 minutes and the actual "uncomfortable" part was about 30 seconds. It's a different kind of feeling than a pap. I have been very crampy since the procedure but nothing ibuprofen, a heating pad, and Netflix can't fix."


"I've been on Cardia XT for 1 year... Yes, pass the side affects please... Occasional dizziness, light headiness, some minor weight gain, but watching what I eat -- getting into the gym... GIVE UP THE SALT --- Processed foods are also sodium filled....The fatigue is awful on most days - I just have to get that nap in -- but preferably not in Atlanta traffic... but overall -- it definitely does it's job! blood pressure is excellent most days --- My blood pressure was 200/120 triggering A-FIB landed me in ER/Intensive Care last November for 4 days... YIKES!!!! This morning's pressure was 112/80... AMAZING!!!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"34 from UK in prep for a colonoscopy. Used the orange one with orange cordial to hide the taste. Wasn't too bad but obviously does taste rather rank. Started it at 3pm and finished the litre at around 6pm, just wasn't feeling it so close together. Kicked in first with a few stomach cramps and lots of wind and gurgles then boom. As others have said, it sure felt like I was peeing from my bum. "


"I just wanted to share the info I got from my doctor. I just got prescribed this medication today. Some people on here mentioned headaches, nausea and tanning both of which my doctor told me could be some side effects. Hope that helped!  I hope this medicine helps me."


"I was on antibiotics and got a vaginal yeast infection. Purchased Monistat 7-Day treatment hoping it would be more effective using it longer.

Within minutes of inserting the medication the first time the burning was horrible! It went into the trash!

I will never use it again!

Awful experience!"


"I am 15... no where near ready to have a child. Condom slipped off and went to the drug store right after the accident to get plan b. I read the reviews and I was really scared I was going to have side effects but also scared I was going to get pregnant so I took the pill about 20 hours after. I felt slight cramps but nothing like the side effects other people were feeling. Don't be scared to take this just because of the side effects because basically nothing happened to me. I got my period on time around a week later. Just started birth control"


"I started Aubagio 2 weeks ago.  I've been on Copaxone (horrible site reactions days after injection), Avonex (serious gastric issues and no progress in regression), Gilenya, (horrible headaches for the time on it and also showed not to be working.), Tecfidera (found I have tested positive for JVC with high risk for PML).  Which brings me to Aubagio.  I take it at night with some tylenol every other day and have had NO side effects.   It may be to early to tell about the thinning hair, but I do drink, 3 times a week, protein shake "muscle milk, 25mg protein and take biotin.  I have felt great.  Also, the damage to my hands (nerve pain and stiffness) seems to be letting up.  If it still feels this good by the end of Nov will let Aubagio know"


"I've been on this birth control for almost two months now. I'm 20 y/o and this is the third contraceptive I have tried and it's worked the best so far!! I've had terrible side effects to every birth control method I have tried. And so far the only problem with this one is the acne. I have always had mild acne growing up but it eventually went away. I've noticed since starting my first pack the acne has started coming back. But compared to how badly my body has reacted to other methods, this is nothing. So far a great choice for me!!"


"I'm a 28 yr old mom and wife who was addicted to prescribed vic's & perc's for the past 2 years, taking about 60-100mg's a day to feel "OK". After running out of my pills in 10 days or less...I'd be in agony but would always find ways to get through the days with people I knew who had/sold them. I hated my life which once was GREAT. Found a new doctor..today is day 3 of Suboxone and I feel good, no pills and no cravings or aches and pains (which I find unbearable) I cut my 8mg 2x daily in half because it was too much, had me bed bound, MIGRANES and puking. Otherwise, NO COMPLAINTS...TRY It. I was reading these reviews last week. In denial this medicine could work so well. No longer in denial, it works. My family is so proud of me, which feels beyond GOOD."


"Previously was on Prozac for anxiety and while that worked really really well for 2  years, it sort of stopped working, and nothing helped again until I got on Cymbalta and 1 small dose of clonezapam at night. Now, I'm virtually anxiety free, with just a rare panic attack here and there, treated with other medicines. Cymbalta keeps me pretty even. I'm on the 60mg once daily."


"I've been on and off Effexor since 2004.  Mostly taken for post partum depression.  I also have BPD and used it for only 6mths. I found that Effexor made me numb.  It makes sense in the beginning but I want to learn how to deal with my emotions and after about six months I start getting withdrawal symptoms because it is no longer working, even though I take as perscribed.  That is what I hate the most the withdrawal symptoms are horrible.  I found working out aggressively like at least 1.5hrs a day gives me better results than this.  It took two weeks for the withdrawal symptoms to subside and I was on the lowest dose."


"I was on the Nuvaring and the Patch before that.  I had terrible moodswings, irregular bleeding and weight gain.  I have none of that with this pill.  I am 45 years old and having been using for over two years."


"I took the 1st week and then the second week I forgot to take the 3rd morning dose. That evening as I got ready to take the evening dose, I realized I had no desire to smoke so I quit taking it. I've been smoke free for almost 12 years, this after smoking for 44 years at about a pack and a half daily. Best medicine ever."


"Was born with Hep B. Now Iam in my early 40. Started the viread in 2007 ( 9 years now)."


"Hi everyone , I'm 39 years old guy from sweden, I have soft tissue sarcoma in my stomach wall and it spread to the bones (legs both femural head and sternum and my headscull that was removed) I have started votrient 201508 800mg/day. The first 2 weeks I had a fever and felt really sick, stomach problems pain and diarrhea, it took about 1-2 months before I felt normal with this med, the pain from my bone mets disappeard pretty fast (1month), I have had new scans after 3 months and the results was pretty good, sternum and right leg was nothing left :) the left leg there is only about 30% left. I'm going to have new scans this month so lets see hoping for more good news.... the stomach tumour was the same"


"This medicine and Geodon in combination saved my life. I have been functioning normally for three years now. Hardly any noticeable side effects if any and mild to no mood swings."


"I have used Zyrtec for a couple years to reduce my allergy symptoms and avoid asthma flares. I have a dog that causes symptoms if I play too much, or if I touch my eyes. We got a cat about 1 year ago! Zyrtec met the challenge, the cat sometimes sleeps on my pillow. I am still careful about touching my eyes, but Zyrtec has done a great job.  Now that Z is OTC, my doctor switched me to Clarinex, but after a few days I am experiencing symptoms again, swollen lips, eyes, etc.I'm going back to Z!"


"I was experience heightened mood swing as I entered the menopause phases and my doctor recommended trying the Mirena.  I was warned the first months would be painful then everything kicks in.  I'm five years in and ready to switch out for a new.  I have not a had a period and the mood swings are gone ... my family is very happy too.  I can highly recommend just know the first months are hard."


"After taking Viibryd for almost three months I can say that I feel better, my depression isn't as bad. It is a little better, but I feel like it could be even better. I don't know if I should talk to my doctor about it. I take 40 mg a day which I believe is the highest recommended dose. I have chronic pain (and surgery) issues and I am scared of taking a supplementary medication because of side effects. I can say that I have experienced NO side effects. I take mine in the morning and am perfectly able to take it with or without food. Viibryd has definitely helped me, but I think I need some more help."


"I was severely obese and didn’t know what I was doing to myself I was basically killing myself or eating myself to death. I was 400 lbs. When I started this med I noticed an instant change in not only what I was doing to myself but it gave me energy I didn’t have. It sort of woke me up and made me realize what I already knew  -that I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. That was almost 10 years ago. Today I am my ideal weight for my height 130lbs and I could not be happier. I have lost the weight and kept it off."


"I've had QVar 80 for 2-3 years and it absolutely AMAZING. I NEVER needed to rely on my albuterol inhaler after taking QVar. 10/10. Now, a message to people with the white spots-That is yeast infection. It specifically says you were supposed to RINSE YOUR MOUTH WITH WATER THOROUGHLY (don't drink the rinse water) to avoid yeast infection. "


"I have been taking Ambien for more years than I can count due to insomnia and nightmares.  I have experienced the "sleep walking" activities, mostly repetitive conversations and eating which have been benign and harmless.  Fortunately, I have family that is up later than me so they keep me from doing anything too outrageous.  Sometimes I have a vague memory of my activities if my husband brings it to my attention, but if I am particularly stressed or anxious the side effects are amplified and my memory is gone.  As for morning grogginess, a shower usually perks me up."


"I just had mirena inserted two days ago. The procedure was quite painful but relatively quick which made it bearable. It felt like intense and sharp cramping. I felt a little nauseas right after the procedure but felt well enough to go for a two hour walk just a few hours later. Unfortunately, the evening after having it inserted my cramping was very intense. I didn't have any cramping today until this evening but it's not nearly as bad as the first day. I spotted lightly after insertion but I haven't had any spotting today. I was feeling anxious about having sex with my boyfriend because I was worried it may hurt but surprisingly there was no pain! So far I'm very happy with my decision to have mirena inserted."


"Severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flare presented in 2006 after a traumatic wrist injury/surgery. Enbrel did not work for 6 months and then mostly worked. Until the end of 3 yrs. Developed Polymyositis in addition to RA. Creates total weakness in the large muscle groups, balance problems, and of course depression. Taking about 20 different medicines, including steroids afterwards. No significant relief except when on steroids greater than 20mg per day. High dose of steroids for past 2 years. Just tried Rituxin infusion therapy. First drip went fine. 2nd infusion caused an allergic reaction. Back to square 1."


"Started on this 6 months ago.  My own personal miracle drug.  I had never known peace or stability before Lamictal.  I hope to stay on it forever, and also hope it continues working this well."


"This was the worst pill I've ever been on. I had been happily taking another pill for almost a year with no side effects, and it then got discontinued so I had to go on Larin for a month. I was having migraines with aura, anxiety, I bled for 17 days (when I normally don't have a period except for every 3 months), and had nipple discharge, as well as spontaneous nosebleeds. I felt terrible on this pill, I do not recommend."


"Used since 1996 for bipolar disorder (available only as Neurontin then).  Seemed immediately effective.  Now taking minimal (300 mg) dosage daily.  Not aware of any side effects, except it may help my sleep a bit."


"I have been on zoloft 50 mg for over 15 years . Two months ago I brilliantly decided to wean off by taking half pill every other day till done. About two months have gone by and I had to go to Dr's and get back on  50 mg daily.I started on 25 mg for one week then up to 50mg daily. This is the second day back on it so a total of 50 mg. Today has been horrible I had to leave work. My legs are weak I'm panicky mouth dry as hell zero appetite. I NEVER should have stopped I just don't remember feeling like this when I first started all those years ago. I just want to get right and stay right !!!! good luck to all"


"I have never experienced any hallucinogenic side effects from this drug, but I admit I've developed a nasty dependency to 100 mgs/night. It is the only sleep aid that doesn't give me cotton mouth or drowsiness the next day and works like a charm every single time.  Nothing even comes close to its effectiveness. Note:  It IS imperative that you take it at once you are in bed and ready to sleep.  After that you aren't going anywhere, no sleep walking, driving or binge eating."


"The pill worked!!!  For those who are worried right now and desperately searching the internet for any form of relief...I promise you that things are going to be okay. I took the pill 3 hours after having unprotected sex (condom broke) and even though we had sex right after my last period I was still so scared I could end up pregnant. I am a freshman in college and I'm no where near ready to have a baby. My advice to whoever is reading this right now is to try your best not to worry, the pill will work it's magic and you will be okay. Also stress can delay your period even more (mine came almost 2 weeks late) so try to keep yourself busy!and  Make sure next time you have the right protection!"


"I used this before I went to bed, and it did itch a lot for 2 days after, but the cream helps a lot. 5 days later and I still have a YI though... symptoms aren't as bad, but it's still there."


"This is very good medicine for panic and anxiety. Sometimes it is necessary to check for depression. I was taking it for about 8 years and slowly reduced and stopped. I reduced it to 0.25mg first for a week, then 0.125mg next week, then alternate days and then I used to have a tab or so and take only when necessary. It is necessary to learn to avoid anxiety to drop this medicine.

"


"I can remember being on this for just two months last year.  What did improve while I was taking it was my concentration--I started reading every book in sight.  I stopped taking the Zoloft because I thought it made me sick to my stomach and also gave me tics.  I guess I should have waited out the side effects because I thought my ability to read was fantastic."


"I have had chronic constipation  since 5 yrs old I had chronic pain from a  condition I was born with, and at 30 received oxcontin for the pain other wise I would be in a wheel chair. As a child after eating I would bloat I still do even on just 2 cups off coffee, it has taken 4 days for lactulose to work but I feel a lot better my Doctor said water water water! as the lactulose draws the water into our bowels, she also mention try the msp diet as you can be misdiagnosed  as IBC and it could be certain proteins  and sugars as well as wheat, barley, beans, dairy and makes it too hard for our gut to process."


"Why wasn't I given this sooner."


"At the end of the first month my period was very heavy. My bleeding was still very heavy after day six of my period. I am now very worried and if my period continues l will remove the device when l go for my six weeks check up. This is an unexpected experience and l am not happy with the Mirena device at this stage. As l type this message l am still bleeding. What an awful experience."


"Tried most antidepressants, and I was ready to give up. I was tired of trying antidepressants, getting sick while I waited for the positives, only to find out it didn't really help.  I've tried Prozac, Paxil (good but stopped working for me), Zoloft (allergic to it), Effexor, Citalopram (worst of all).  I don't know what made me ask my doctor for Cymbalta, but I did. It started working the second day I took it!  I have been slowly recovering from depression and getting my life back.  I hope the same for the people who read this.  Never give up hope!"


"Lutera helped regulate my irregular periods. I've had absolutely NO side effects since starting it 8 months ago. Breasts are slightly more plump without any discomfort, score! I've previously taken other forms of BC which I had experienced crazy mood swings. Lutera is definitely a winner for me!"


"Best thing to ever happen to me!  I love this medication and will recommend it to anyone and everyone. Been on it since 12/15/16 and down 15 lbs.  Its not as much as the majority of other Contrave users have lost within 5 months but that is my fault.  I still eat what I want, just less of it and I don't work out.  I'm sure if I ate better and got active I would lose more weight.  I have been lazy!
In regards to side effects, they were very strong for me.  I had nausea, blurry vision and dizziness but learned to control it with protein.  I cannot express how much protein has helped me!  It has replaced my breakfast and I drink it along with coffee and grapefruit oil infused water.  I no longer crave or worry about food like before "


"This medication is about as strong as aspirin or ibuprofen. If you take them longer than a few weeks you will also end up with withdrawal worse than any other narcotic pain reliever. It can make you sick to your stomach and if your prescribed too much it can cause severe seizures. If you've never been on any other opiate pain relievers it may work for a bit but I'd use extreme caution in doing so."


"I've had a positive experience with these pills.  I am taking them to eliminate painful periods and to balance my hormones.  I take the continuous pills, so I never have my period.  The first month was more difficult. I had tender and swollen breasts and moodiness.  During the second month, these side effects subsided, but I had a lot of spotting.  Finally, in the third month, the spotting has stopped.  Bonus, I have had an increase in breast size of 1/2 to one cup size."


"Was prescribed trazodone to help with sleep problems but actually woke me up a bit. After a week of using I began to feel very depressed."


"I have taken about 10 different antidepressants and always had to stop because of the severity of side effects. I have been on Trazodone for over 6 years and love it. It is the only medicine I have tried that doesn't give me horrible side effects. I had to keep upping the dosage in the beginning but soon found a dose that worked. The greatest benefit is that it helps me sleep. I have severe insomnia and my depression gets out of control after too many days of not sleeping and trazodone combined with Ambien is helpful. I have no other side effects from it. The difference in depressive symptoms is not dramatic but is helpful. I recommend it for people who have a rough time with side effects from other medicines and for those who can't fall asleep."


"Got my rosacea under control and improved the overall look of my skin."


"I have been taking Dexilant for about 2 weeks.  I did not realize how bad I had been feeling before taking the drug.  I thought I was just a stomach sensitive person and would just have to put up with the ups and downs.  It's all ups now, I feel great."


"I tried this off-label because I was always waking up tired and never felt rested. I took 4 mL before bed. The results were incredible. Woke up exactly 4 hours later feeling alive and not exhausted for the first time in years. I've since been diagnosed with narcolepsy so I know why this medication was so effective for me. Unfortunately I can't afford it so my only option is dexamphetamine which doesn't help me much."


"My son is 19 and has had severe tics (screaming, mumbling, spitting, punching motions to name a few) for 4 years after having moderate symptoms since he was diagnosed at age 4.  Last Monday, at our new neurologist's office, he was ticing roughly once a minute.  He was prescribed Abilify, and the next day noticed a remarkable decrease in his tics.  Unfortunately, he also had an extremely uncomfortable sense of restlessness.  The doctor cut his dose in half, and my son has been experiencing mild tics approximately four times an hour since.  This has been a miracle for him.  He does not take any other medications.  In the past, he had tried Abilify, but was taking Orap at the time as well, and had an increase in tics."


"Barely 4'11", age 50, started saxenda 9/10/16 at 134.  Today I'm 114.4.  I'm thrilled with a 19.6 loss in less than 2 months and cravings for sweets are gone. Dr. chose saxenda for me after months of no success with diet and exercise alone. Dose was .6 mg until last week.  Now at 1.2 mg.  A few days of nausea at start on .6 but none since.  Only side effect is occasional constipation.  My insurance doesn't cover saxenda and I think it's very expensive even with the savings card but it's been worth it to avoid another back surgery."


"This medication opened up a whole new world for me.  I developed a very bad anxiety & panic disorder and lived with it for years. Therapy and many other medications did not help! Didn't notice much of a difference initially but by the time I was up to 1mg 3 times a day my life so greatly improved.  I currently take another medication (Xanax).  I was taken off the medication because I became an alcoholic. When I detoxed from alcohol I was immediately taken of Klonopin. My only concern for people that are taking it is that if they decide to stop, please withdraw from it properly by a gradual reduction over a period of time.  The hospital took me off of it without gradually reducing it.  The withdrawal was horrible!"


"I started taking this medicine after abnormal mammogram and biopsy found precancerous cells.  I have really bad hot flashes several times a month, some joint and leg pain.  My menstrual cycle is regular but I experience nose bleeds the week before.  My hair started to thin about 3 months after starting this medication, that has pretty much subsided and I am going on one year now.  I do get a little more irritable than usual but all in all things are pretty manageable now.  So only 4 years to go!"


"The reason, I got on this prescription was because 1. I don't want to get pregnant and 2. My periods last for 7-8 days cramps are unbearable and there are time that its heavy its annoying and there are times I cant even sleep. Now, I've only been on the pill for 7 days. Before I even take the pill, I'm good no mood swings I don't feel nausea nothing at all. After I take the pill, like 5 hours later I start feeling nausea, moody, I just want to go to bed and sleep. What I've been reading here seems good, I hope this side affects ends soon because I really don't like the feeling but I will keep you guys updated how its working with my body, Wish me luck."


"I experience sinus problems frequently, mostly from allergies probably. I have headaches and stuffy nose etc. This medication is wonderful. I should receive money for how many times I have recommended this to people. I feel like I can even think clearer when I take this. I rarely experience side effects. Maybe one time I had dizziness. Great product."


"Before I took latuda, my bipolar disorder was pretty much ruining my life. I started latuda and about 2 months later, while I was starting to feel so much better. I also noticed that I was starting to feel overwhelmed and was starting to become delusional and developed irrational fears such as being scared to even go outside for example. I stopped latuda and went back to feeling normal. I thought it might have just been me and my bipolar was starting to have a severe effect on my life again so just a few months ago I decided to try latuda again. And within a week I was starting to feel overwhelmed and delusional again. I will never take it again. While the medication was effective, the side effects were horrific."


"I was on Geodon for a few months after getting out of the hospital, and out of the dozen or so medications I tried, it was the most effective. I felt much more stable, could sleep, and was generally more productive. It was used to treat hypomania, but it really kept depression at bay as well. The only weird side effect I had was a sort of body dissociation that would happen periodically."


"I have suffered with insomnia for years and no medications improved my condition until I started using Gabapentin. I have been taking it for 7 days and my quality of sleep has greatly improved. I used to wake up 3-4 times per night and found it hard to fall back asleep. Gabapentin puts me to sleep and I am enjoying deeper, more restful REM stages. I highly recommend it for this condition. I was prescribed this for chronic pain and this is a great bonus. Like the other reviewer it will cause residual grogginess the next day for several hours. Extra caffeine is definitely needed!"


"Day 3 of duac and all I'm experiencing is dry and flaky skin"


"I was put on Microgestin because I have awful cramps at the start of my period, and ovarian cyst ruptures that would put me in the hospital. Microgestin took the cramps away, as well as my period! I was on it for 7 months before I began to realize that it was giving me some bad side effects. I felt nauseous, had blurred vision, shortness of breath, and felt tired all the time. I also experienced hot flashes and some mood swings. Today is my first day OFF the pill, and I can already feel the cramps. Guess I will have to decide which one is worse, the cramps or the side effects."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was prescribed Beyaz a year ago to control my acne and regulate my periods. I was experiencing acne like never before and was having 2 periods one month then none the next. Beyaz did work. It cleared up my acne 100%. However, it made my periods very light, inconsistent, and only 3-4 days long. Call me crazy, but I miss having 7 day, consistent periods. With Beyaz my periods are so light, tampons are painful to use and pads are too much protection. But I have to wear something; I have unexpected bursts/flows during those 3-4 days. My periods also don't start until the last day of the pack. I've had to skip the last pill just so that my period would start. Maybe Beyaz is too strong for my cycle, but it did wonders for my acne."


"I have had Mirena 5 years and it worked perfectly and had no problems... Then I had it taken out and another put in. Ever since I have had migraines and acne on chin and back and sometimes I get a sharp pain in the area where the mirena is placed, it hasn't moved, or embedded. I don't understand how the first one was so perfect and now the past year with second one has been so awful... I don't know what to do at this point!?"


"It's hard to believe that there is a product out there that actually works but this is it. After struggling with melasma under my eyes from birth control and sun exposure I tried many different products and none even seemed to make any difference. Within a week and a half of use Triluma has reduced the darkness by probably 75%. Use sparingly and follow instructions, more isn't better with this product. A small amount does the trick."


"I lacked the intrinsic factor to absorb Vitamin B12 from food since I was in my 30s. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2x and now am age 55 I increasingly find that I am dependent on the b12 for energy, mood and weight maintenance. I can tell when my levels are low without a calendar as this usually occurs about 3-5 days before the end of the month when I am do for my shot."


"I am on Onglyza and Metformin. I have much confidence in the Onglyza. I ran out of the drug for a week, and my sugar went sky high. My insurance may not cover Onglyza now and I am saddened by that. I trust this drug to keep my sugar in check."


"The best and available over the counter."


"Was an Heroin junkie smoking on an average of 1.5-2g a day for almost two years. Was a Roxy junkie for five years before the heroin habit. I'm on my fourth day in heavy withdrawal. The kratom worked wonders the first three days but ran short due to needing a heavier dose to do the trick. So called my Dr today after reading everything available on clonidine and explained my situation. 40 min later I had my clonidine in hand. Up all night with my legs tripping out, headache, arms and upper back starting to get sore. Took one .3mg dose and 45-55min I was able to lay on bed without the RLS or achy upper body. I would recommend this medicine to anyone during the uncomfortable reactions when you are choosing to take your life back. Good luck."


"After taking Savella for two months, I began to notice a slight lessening of deep muscle pain and tenderness of joints. It has not, however, done away with the intense fatigue I am sometimes subjected to. Initially, I did experience my heart racing and feeling jittery, but after a few weeks, this went away. I do sometimes experience hot flashes, but I can live with that. Overall, my doctor and I are quite pleased with the results. I don't know if this is as good as it gets or if the results will continue to improve as I continue the medication. While I am not completely pain-free, I am very happy with Savella. I find it a blessing indeed."


"I've been taking it for 7 years and it turned my life around. I am severely dyslexic and have ADD and am on 30mg to 40mg a day. However, as of recent it has started making me slightly disorientated and even slightly sleepy, and my thoughts come faster than I speak (used to happen before I started taking Ritalin with my dyslexia) but it feels worse. I just started interning at an Ad company so not the best of times! "


"I have been taking Contrave for almost two months.  I am a 50 year old 5'2" woman that started out at 155 lbs.  Since starting I have lost 11 lbs.  I had I think all the side effects.  A week of severe nauseousness.  No throwing up just wouldn't eat anything without a stomach ache. Before I started Contrave I drank up to six cans of pop a day and now do not even crave it.  I had headaches for about a week and constipation.  Now almost two months in and I feel better.  I really feel this is a great diet pill.  I only have 9lbs to go to my goal weight."


"Omg, this was by far the wrost medication ever. Sick is an understatement, throwing up, out of both ends, cold sweats, like going though withdrawal. Be careful if you try this. Your going to be sick"


"I love sertraline, I can honestly say this medicine has given me my life back after crippling anxiety and depression. I feel back to my old self and able to get on with life"


"This is only the 2nd full day that I have been on Contrave and absolutely zero side effects.  After just one day I lost 2 pounds.  Contrave made it to where I wasn't even hungry.  I had to remember to eat lunch.  In the evening was  a little more difficult.  I was hungry, but I didn't gorge myself.  I am confidant that when I work up to the full dose twice a day, that may help my cravings in the afternoon/evening.  My doctor told me to take the evening dose about 30 minutes prior to supper.  I will post an update in a few weeks, but I am excited about this new drug."


"I had a total/full Hysterctomy in Jan of 2006.  I was put on Estrace/Estradoil 1mg at the time.  Pending on the person, we are all different.  1 mg, I still had bad hot flashes, terrible or nasty temper, dizziness, feeling faint, very moody, feelings of rage. My Gyn put me up to a 2mg tablet. It worked, the rage feelings, dizziness, and most of the sweating and hot flashes eased or went away. I felt human again, and in control of my thoughts, and actions.  It feels good not to have that terrible rage.  I was at this time not receiving the right dose, it was to low.
This week my gyn put me back on 1mg of Estrace, all those horrible feelings came back and quickly. My body again, was not getting enough hormone of estrogen and back on 2mg's."


"I have been on the Mirena for 10 months now. I am going to take it out as soon as possible. The cramping has indeed gotten worse and I bleed at very odd times; sometimes very heavily with clotting and sometimes lightly. It interrupts sexual activity from the bleeding and I run back and forth to the doctor because I can never find it. Honestly, it was good in the beginning, but I feel like these symptoms should be gone by now. Just goes to show everything isn't for everyone."


"My friend, a registered nurse, recommended this product.  Like a lot of women, I have sporadic pain in my shoulder and neck area.  Whether this is the result of stress and/or carrying a heavy purse, I don't know.  Anyhow....I tried the patch and within 90 minutes my pain was gone!  I have since recommended this product to other women at work with the same issues and they also had good results."


"Good medicine"


"Wow! That's all I can say. I had my doubts. Withdrawals- fever, cold sweats, chills, dilated pupils, upset stomach, shakes, extreme anxiety, loss of appetite, should I say more - well I did not have one of them. Suboxone - a miracle drug."


"I had spinal fusion in lower lumbar region 9 years ago.  I was fine until August '08.  I had such severe sciatic pain doctor progressively put me on Ultram ER 200mg 1x / day.  It worked great.  Pain went away after 4 months.  I stopped taking Ultram and now I am dealing with withdrawal symptoms.  PAY ATTENTION to warnings about long term usage."


"I have fibromyalgia, scleroderma and polymyositus, all have to do with muscle pain and tendon pain. I must say, I went from shuffling in the morning, not being able to walk, to feeling little pain. It's been a month now. I am also on methadone, which, by itself, did not help. I do feel very fatigued, and out of sorts, but, I would rather be like this than the way I was in pain."


"My periods have been incredibly irregular. I bleed every time I am sexually active."


"Before I start my period, I get cramps, acne and I'm very moody on this pill. My sex drive is usually very high. This is the only pill I've ever taken so I don't have much to compare it to but I don't find it that bad."


"Well let's just say everyone is different when it comes to birth control. That's definitely true. The 2 bad things that are causing me to want to get it out is the acne and weight gain. Within the 1st year I had very few side effects within the second year I gained 14 lbs and now I'm on the last year and afraid I'm only going to gain more. I haven't changed my eating habits at all. I think everyone is different and it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Good luck.
"


"At age 54,  taking this is the only way I've been able to lose weight. I used to be able to lose 10 to 20 pounds pretty easily with just better food choices and mild exercise. But over the last  several years with a strict Paleo diet and exercising five days a week, three days a week with a trainer, I Wasn't able to drop a single pound.  As you get older you must consume a depressingly small amount of food in order to lose weight, this drug gives you the willpower to stay with a low cal a day diet.  For me it's impossible to shop and cook and only consume my low cal per day. So, I used prepared food services like  eat fit go and factor 75 to be certain of the calories I'm consuming with no leftovers and no snacking during cooking."


"Ive had the implant for almost four months now 10/2/15 will be four months ive been bleeding since i got on this birth control other than the bleeding i havent gained weight   havent had any major break outs like most ppl my moods been lil off too more emotional then before but if u dont mind bleeding four months straight n being emotional some days id say try it ..haha better then having to remember pills n going for ur shot lol especially if u have kids n a job and so much going on u forget lol. Pretty happy i got it put in cause i dont need any more kids lol two is plunty :)"


"I have been taking Lexapro for more than four years at 10mg-20mg.  It has been great at reducing mood swings, anxiety, and sadness. I have not noticed reduced effectiveness, however, my doc did move me up to 20mg because I was still experiencing pms mood swings and irritability.  I also have mild to severe depression.  There are only 3 side effects I have experienced and that is reduced libido, yawning, and inorgasmia. Which I feel I can handle as long as I'm happy and positive. I had tried Zoloft before and it didn't make me happier it just made me jittery and jumpy all the time and I couldn't relax.  So, Lexapro has definitely been the answer for me."


"So I've had the implanon for over a year, and it's been great! I've always been a healthy person. I've tired birth control pills and the ring (nuva right?) in the past, and I haven't experienced any side effects. I dont have health or mental issues. The implanon didn't change my mood or weight. I'm still at 122 Lbs. I don't exercise level is low (college student). I've been reading all these crazy reviews about people gaining weight and losing hair, but thankfully, it hasn't happened to me. I do have to say, I haven't had my period since it was inserted into my arm. Not even spotting. I don't know if that's bad. Other than that, I've been loving this birth control."


"It really helped with my coughing, but it made me extremely sleepy."


"Have used this product several times over recent years used for facial and scalp keratosis. It definitely works well although skin conditions seem to return after a year or two. Treatment involves application of ointment on week days (i.e. five days, with weekends off) for four weeks. The major side effect I have noticed is flu-like symptoms (coldness and body aches) and tiredness. The several times this has happened I have taken a day's break from treatment before resuming."


"My experience with Suprep was excellent!  No kidding!  I had a colonic (colon hydrotherapy) 24 hours before starting the Suprep, and I also started decreasing my food intake 48 hours before by keeping my meals light and avoiding snacks.  After the first dose of Suprep, I didn't have any bowel movement at all.  Things started moving about 45 minutes after the second dose and the process was finished within 30 minutes.  My bottom was not sore at all because there was very little debris in there due to the colonic and limited food intake beforehand.  Also, I didn't have any problem drinking the solution, the taste wasn't that bad."


"I have been taking Humira now for about 10 years. First started as study patient and still continue to take it.  It has been great.  Recently the cost has been the biggest concern.  I have tried to take injections a month at a time rather then two weeks.  I do not suggest this.  Three weeks at a time seem to work great for me.  After that the pain starts to return.  I am currently researching other medicines so I can stop taking this.  The cost is just too high for me.  Currently the only long term affects I have noticed is shortness of breath, hair loss, occasional dizziness and fatigue/insomnia.  I hope this review helps."


"I have used Levothroid and Synthroid.  I am currently on Levothroid.  It does okay, I have been able to maintain a normal life although I have bad joint pain now after 18 years of use.  I have more memory problems now than I did before especially names.  And I have lost bone height.  I am over an inch shorter now than I was before.  I am only 52 and had my thyroid removed due to cancer 18 years ago."


"I have taken a zpack for years now when I have infections due to having severe allergies to other medication families. I am faced with yet another soft tissue tooth infection and will of course be asking for my usual zpack to make it go down until we can get heart clearance from my doctors to have the teeth that are infected removed."


"my son has been taking concerta at varying mg's for the past 6 years. He has experienced increased heart palpatations at night for the past year.  Cardiologist and ADD doctor state that its anxiety related. Rx has worked well for years. Unfortunately, i think its time to rethink the prescription as he enters his preteen years."


"Hi There I've been on Saxenda for three weeks now up to 1.8 no results I've actually put on weight. I haven't had any side effects. Very disappointed but will hang in there till I finish the script but probably won't buy the new script."


"I used Loestrin for about 6 months. I switched from Yaz because although Yaz promised a shorter period, I actually had it for about 8 days. With loestrin, I only had my period for 2 days - major plus. However, as time went on, I noticed that I would get stomach aches and the main issue was loss of sex drive. It took a while to realize that this was caused by Loestrin but just keep in mind that this is a side effect. "


"I've found that Lyrica does help though it did take a while for me to get used to it as initially I was very affected and sounded like I'd been drinking when I took it! I only take it at night now though I still have to be careful not to take too much or take it too late in the evening or I'm a bit slow and sleepy the next day.
My doctor tried me first on Cymbalta ( spelling?) but the constipation was horrific with that for me.
Overall my pain has diminished with Lyrica and I'm happy to be on it."


"This medication combined with Finacea cream saved my skin! I was having terrible localized breakouts that would leave bad scars. Once I started religiously using Oracea and Finacea (to help with redness) my skin looks amazing, I rarely need to wear makeup now.

Only downside is it makes my lips sensitive. The tend to look swollen- which is not such a bad thing.

I would recommend this to anyone dealing with Rosacea."


"After I took lutera, within an hour I would feel a rush of fatigue and want to sleep. I would end up taking two, three hour long naps- which threw off my sleep cycle. My breasts hurt, and I was extremely aggressive during my month on this pill. Toward the end I started spotting the 4th day of the third week, and I am on the 3rd day of my period week- and so far I have been spotting for 7 days. My acne got worse, when this was supposed to help. I did not experience bleeding at first. Wouldn't recommend this pill. I am switching to Yaz."


"I LOVE EPIDUO!!! I have had really bad acne on my forehead since seventh grade and i got epiduo the summer before my freshman year. I tried everything the drugstore had from Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, and Yes to Tomatoes but they all just dried out my skin and in some cases made it worse. The first week of using epiduo, i noticed my really bad breakouts reduced in redness and size. Im still using it a year later and whenever i have a new pimple or really bad breakout, i put it on once a night and its almost completely gone a week later. The great thing is that it last you a long time since you really arent supposed to use that much at one time. I would definitely recommend asking your dermatologist about it."


"I'm 20 with no kids and thought paragard would be the best option since I don't do well with hormones. I usually take pain pretty well but this hurt so bad. Even though it was only for a couple minutes, it was the worst pain I've ever felt down there. My doctor put it in and I had an ultrasound right after to make sure it was in the right place. Of course the arms didn't open up, and the IUD had to be taken out and another one needed to be put it in. It was horrible!! The second one was even worse than the first and took about 8 minutes to get in correctly. A month later I had another ultrasound and the IUD had moved into my cervix and needed to be taken out. I really wanted this to work. I'm now looking into skyla."


"A must try for RLS Had RLS for 7 years and was always told it was in my head. After that long leaving my RLS it was getting worse and i was showing signs of depression so i booked myself in the docs (thought i would be put on anti-depressents) i was offered to try gabapentin first to get rid of the cause of depression symptoms.

     They made me feel drowsy, tierd and clumsy for about 2 weeks and started getting use to them. But i slowly noticed my legs wasnt driving me insaine! They was relaxing for once when my mind was relaxed my legs was too! I have been on them a few months now and it feels great to be able to sleep and not kick around all the time. I feel happier in myself and great to have my legs and brain comunicating properly"


"Insertion itself is not very painful, and it's over quickly. The pain I experienced was during the manual dilation, which did make me nearly pass out. The nurse said that was my body's reaction to dilation, and is not uncommon. After 20 minutes or so to recover, I went home. Cramping and spotting for the rest of the day, and occasional cramping for the following week. Cramping was significantly better on days after evening work outs.

My partner cannot feel the strings during sex, and I have no idea that the IUD is there. There is no reason for me to believe that I should begin to have more side effects down the road, because a few weeks in all spotting and cramping has subsided."


"I've been using Victoza since August 20th and I've lost 7lbs.  My daytime sugars are finally at a normal range after always being in the 200's.  I take Lantus at night, but my morning fasting sugars are still slightly high.  The side effects haven't been so bad, only lasting a day or two.  Today I start my largest and final dosage of Victoza 1.8mg, we'll see how that goes."


"I am starting on a low dose as I was given a stimulant type at first, which made me feel sick and stopped me sleeping. So now I am on Atomxetine but just a low dose as I seem to suffer badly with side effects. At my recent assessment, the doc told me to increase dose to 40mg, then 80, but I decided to start on 20 mg, then 40 second week. Only I am finding I can't sleep so I am going to try to take about 2 hours before bedtime, see if that helps. Not sure what to do if these don't work ...Any advice would be grateful, thanks"


"I've been on various BC pills over the years and this was the worst. I was on this pill for over a year and gained more than 40lbs. I even put weight on in my face! What's worse is how long it took me to realize how much weight I had put on because it sent me spiraling into uncontrollable depression & I stopped caring about almost everything. After my first year I started having a "period" 2 weeks into the pack which only consisted of extreme cramping and some brown discharge for a few days. Around the time I started having a period mid pack my migraines got out of control & I had them controlled for years. I've been working out 7 days a week for months and changed my already decent diet and have put on 15 more lbs. I can't wait to change!"


"I don't know how I have lived for 34 years without this medication. Pristiq has for me been a God send. I am now 5 weeks in, and have never felt this clear and focused. It's not a miracle worker, the situations I face daily still get me cranky and stressed, but I don't seethe anymore. I used to get angry with my kids for being "naughty", and stay angry for ages, just getting worse and worse. Now I take the time to be a "Mum", talking to them and not stressing about the little things they do. As for side effects, I had a little nausea, and irritability (which I still have at times, but I have 4 kids under 4, and my husband works away from home) but overall it's much more pleasant in our house. Good luck to everyone."


"I got my Skyla in August of this year. I previously had the Nexplenon and loved it. I'm 24, never had children and had not had period from 6/2014 to 8/2016. I was not informed to take any kind of muscle relaxer or anti-inflammatory beforehand. The insertion was terrifying and painful. The "test" probe hurt so bad that I pushed out the speculum. Which meant that they had to start all over. The cramping was painful and I was so glad I did it on a Friday. Since insertion, I have had a period every month and the cramps are excruciating. I also get sharp pains when I am not on period. I called the doctor today and told them what was going on. They told me that I need to go back to the Nexplenon asap."


"I'm writing this 2hrs after round 2. The taste is disgusting, unless you enjoy salty fruity nastiness. I've had chills so bad that one might think I was having a seizure. I've also had cramps so bad that would have on a normal day sent me to the ER. I have been dealing with abdominal pain for 4 months,  just really hoping to find the cause. Will opt for the Colyte for the next one,  as that is what I had 5 years ago without the horrible side effects. Good luck to those who are reading this."


"I have suffered from a Major Depressive Disorder for many years now and have always suffered from the constipation side effect of taking Venlafaxine (the active ingredient in Effexor and Elaxine. .. dont know about other antidepressants). I used Fleet Phospho Soda for the 1st time about 18 months ago and it was a very welcomed relief.

When taking Fleet I follow the following regime:

Mix 1/3 of a single bottle with 250ml water (as directed)

ready the next round straight away then set a 10min timer on my phone

when timer goes off, down the next glass as fast as you can (tastes like crap)

ready the next round and set timer again.

when timer goes off, down the last round.

Activity usually takes for me, approx 3-4 hours to take effect."


"So far I like the nuva ring. Although I have been experiencing more frequent bowel movements and trips to the bathroom, I haven't experienced any significant change yet. I wanted a change from taking pills and I like that I can remove this at anytime. I have not tried this yet with my boyfriend during intercourse so I'm not sure how that will go. Fingers crossed everything stays fine!"


"I have had the best experience of birth control on this pill. The usual side effects for me on birth control is weight gain, moody, no energy, and spotting. I have not experienced any of these side effects on microgestin fe 1.5/30. I cannot give it 10 stars due to that I am not as interested in having sex as I was before taking the pill, which brought me down to a normal married person's sex life really. It has actually made husband happy on that (guys don't want to have sex all the time it turns out).

Note on acne- no affect.

Things to consider: I am 24, I exercise, and I am a Nurse, so I am constantly on my feet."


"I'm 37 and I suffer from pcos. I have been battening cystic acne since I was 25. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on meds, topical creams, different dermatologists and even laser treatments that have become costly. Doxy is a quick fix and as long as you're on it, it will work. However, coming off the meds you're skin will start to purge so be prepared. I've been mixing the right vitamins, cutting out dairy, eating GF, and keeping my diet rich in lots of green leafy veggies and high protein. I also have to exercise at least 3 times a week. Taking probiotics is also extremely important. Don't exfoliate too much and try to keep your cleansing regime simple. Hope this helps."


"I'm a 27 year old male and work 80-90 hours/week. I found that I crash after 3-5 hours if I don't prepare my body with proper nutrients before taking a 100mg dose. Eating a solid meal before, and healthy snacking during has given me great results. Wakefulness, alert, no jitters, and no crash. I also have at least 2 cups of coffee throughout the day to keep it consistent. Positive results if you use it correctly."


"NO. Do not take this, ladies! Unless you want burning, itching, swollen lady parts, that is. I applied this as I laid down to sleep, just like I would with Monistat 7, but immediately felt the fires of hell erupting inside and out of the last place any sane person would pick to feel it. Finally got to sleep after splashing with cold water and laying down naked from the waist down, only to feel more (less intense) burning when I woke up again at 1:15 in the morning. If it's too late for you, the best remedy seems to be a cool bath. Heaven help us all. If it's not too late for you, JUST SAY NO. This drug should NOT be on the shelves! Really, FDA??!"


"My doctor switched me to a pain clinic after years of treating my back pain.  I went from 4 x 7.5mg Lortab to 20mg Embeda and 2 x 7.5mg Lortab today.  After reading this site, I realize why my pain has increased as the Embeda has an opiate blocker.  Thanks for the info. I go to the doctor tomorrow and intend to discuss this.  I have had two fusions in my lower back that only had limited success.  I only want and this may sound corny but I need to have my life back with pain control.  I have nerve damage along with bone pain (arthritis). I am only 50 years old.  There has got to be something out there that will work that will allow me to return to work and manage my pain."


"I have been on DDAVP since 2004.  I recently changed over to the tablet form.  It is much more convenient to carry with me, but I have found that I have trouble having regular bowel movements and also I am having trouble losing weight.  How can I lose the water weight while still staying hydrated on the DDAVP?  I have heard that maybe I should limit my fluid intake. "


"Before the patch I was on the shot for two years. I decided to take it off after gaining weight (FROM 130 TO 160) and I was experiencing really bad pain in my lower abs and back at random times. I went to the hospital and they said everything looked fine so I suspected it was the birth control so I switched. So far this is my 2nd month on this patch. got my period when I was supposed to and it is so light and exact timing! the only bad side effect is I get nauseous at random times but once I eat I'm fine. no more weight gain yet, my appetite seems to be normal if not less eating than before. my boobs are always hurting and its annoying. Take my bra off right when I get home cuz I cant take it!! hopefully that will end soon!"


"My blood pressure used to average 150/100, so a doctor put me on Enalapril 5 mg. Within 6 days I had to go to an optician to check my eyes because my vision became so blurry. In addition I developed an extremely dry mouth and drinking water didn't help. I also got a sore throat for two days. My blood pressure went down somewhat to 130/90. However a different doctor discontinued the enalapril and put me on Zaart h. A day later after taking the Zaart h my vision has improved and my pressure is at 104/74. Never taking enalapril again."


"I took Roaccutane 9 years ago at the age of 30. Although I didn't have cystic acne, I had had persistent facial acne since the age of 12, and nothing helped. Initially the drug helped a lot, with the major side effect being severely chapped lips and dry skin. After several months of treatment my dose was increased. Within days I was depressed and miserable, with crying spells. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together and consider the medicine as a likely cause. I dropped the dose down again and I quickly improved. However, I feel the damage was done and I gradually became more and more depressed and ultimately was taken of the medicine. For the past 9 years I have suffered depression and anorexia nervosa."


"Haven't been on a pill in 8 years... Since I started it 5 w ago I've gotten acne, stomach pains, cramps but most of all, I am angry, sad, all symptoms of PPD. I have history of depression and that makes it highly common to experience depression of signs of PPD as on the side effects list of Nora Be. I will never take this again, I have a cloud over my brain, I yell at my children, angry at my husband for having freedom to leave without 2 kids, anxiety, paranoid. My family doesn't deserve it and I don't deserve to feel this way just to prevent a 3rd child."


"I was on the meds  2014 . I noticed black marks on My arms an legs unusual. I stopped taking it the marks went away. After suffering many traumatized events I went back on last year to find more random black marks on my body.  I'm not sure if it's working for depression.  I'm still sad most days. I also have constant headaches. mood swings. Still high pain levels.  Depression runs deep. I know I need something just scared to try the list.  SMH"


"Lamictal helps my mood swings but sometimes it makes me stutter or feel like crying. Other than that I am satisfied with the treatment for Bipolar 1 disorder."


"I had no side effects with this medication! I had the three day dose, and it was a little intimidating due to the size of the applicator but it didn't hurt or burn at all. Cleared my infection right up. Would definitely recommend! But just make sure to do it right before bed, because it will come out a little."


"First 3 months was a nonstop period. The flow varied. That was horrible. Good thing, I've only spotted a couple times since. I have already gained about 15-20lbs and I haven't even had it for a year. It's seriously convenient and all but if I cant keep my weight in control I might have it removed"


"Excellent for migraines the best. Unlike all the other medicines. Again, doesn't make me sick like Relpax, effective unlike Imitrex. I just wish I could get it again."


"I have had this twice, both times it made me mildly nauseous and did nothing for the pain.  The first time was when I made a trip to the emergency room for a migraine. It was a terrible migraine.

 After about 15 minutes of me screaming and wailing in the emergency room it started to wane. It was very mild by the time the doctor came in to talk to me.  But he still gave me an injection of dilaudid.  And even for the mild headache it didn't help at all.

 Second time was after hysterectomy. I had excruciating pain from trapped gas under my ribs near my liver.  Nurses kept telling me to press my pain med dispensing button,  and I was already. But it wasn't even taking the edge off."


"Started 04/06- update on 06/12.  Have lost 28 pounds thus far.  Goal is to loss another 30lb by September.  No harsh side effects.  Exercising and eating more responsibly from day 1."


"For many years I had been trying to live with anxiety until it reached a point when I realized I needed help. I often felt stressed and anxious with simple activities like going to the store, and couldn't hold a job or stick with things. Celexa made me happy again, helped me look at life as a glass half full, not empty. Started on 20, noticed some improvement but not complete relief...increased to 40, and then feeling great decided I no longer needed medication. Tapering off, withdrawal symptoms included: dizziness, shakiness, nausea, etc...also, anxiety returned full force. I'm back on it, I gave it an 8 because as effective as it is, therapy is an important component to include with treatment. I'll probably stay on this for many years!"


"I have been on trinessa for about 10 months and I have had a good experience! This is the first birth control ive ever taken. My whole life I have had very regular, easy periods. I used to have cramps the first day and would last about 6 days. now my period lasts about 4 days with and I don't have any cramps! My acne is loads better, my boobs got bigger. I gained about 5 pounds but have also slipped on my healthy eating/ working out so that could also be why. I take it at 7pm every night because I did feel slightly nauseous when I took it in the morning when I first started taking trinessa. I sleep great, my anxiety is actually better. Overall a good experience- my only complaint is that I seem to cry/ get more emotional over silly things!"


"So I love how I feel I am on this stuff. Little background info I am bipolar and suffering post partum from having my first daughter three months ago..two things I've noticed I don't cry as much however I itch constantly I mean like a crack.head itching. Also having headaches and crazy dreams ( snakes spiders) but the post partum is mostly gone. I still feel however no weight loss and that is still a major depression symptom for me and probably my biggest. I make myself sick in the mirror when I'm naked and I like the way it's taken away the post partum but still no self esteem. What do I do? Also i.would love to chat or if there is a group I can look into about this please let me know I am on my second week of 10.MG thank you!"


"Gave me my life back"


"This medicine made me have really bad mood swings. I took it to stop bleeding. Bleeding never stopped. I even had thoughts of suicide. Outburst of crying for no reason. No thanks"


"Have been on Trintellix 10 mg for 3 months now. Previously tried Celexa and Lexapro, and years ago Paxil and Prozac. Overall, it definitely works well to control my anxiety. My problems were more anxiety than depression, although Trintellix seems to help with my mood as well. I'm not nearly as tired as I was on Celexa and Lexapro. No nausea, but I still have some sexual side effects (low libido). Although the sexual side effects are definitely better than Celexa or Lexapro. Overall though, probably the best of the antidepressants I've been on, comparing efficacy vs. side effects."


"My son, age 9, was recently diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Disorder. CAPD has a lot of the same 'symptoms' as Inattentive ADHD. After struggling with the best way to help my son and meeting with his pediatrician, we decided to give Focalin XR a try. We have seen amazing, wonderful progress. My son feels/is successful at school, he's able to focus, gets his work done, etc, all with very minimal side effects. We couldn't be happier! I realize medicines are not for everyone and many, like me, are hesitant to even try them. But I am here to tell you that it has made a very big difference for my son."

"The 1st dose made me so nauseous and I fell asleep for 1.5 hours and awoke still nauseous and with a headache. I then took a second pill and then I was perfect within 30 minutes."


"Viberzi is working great for me.  All medications can have adverse side effects as well as the potential to lose some effectiveness over time if taken frequently.  For these reasons as well as taking care of my body in general, I try to stick to the low fodmap diet designed for IBS as those are the foods my body can pricess well.  I do not have to take a pill every day.  Only on days when I splurge on something I know has the potential to make me sick or if I find myself in a situation where I don't have any low fodmap food options.  I don't use the medication as a crutch to start eating anything and everything I want."


"I've been using nasonex for a good 3 weeks. Now and it really doesn't seem to work at all. If anything it seems to make my nose even more runny and now I can even taste it... use with caution, it could make your problem worst."
