"Take 12mg Exalgo after being on Methodone, Tramadol, and Fentanyl. It is a miracle drug! The pain is so reduced I hardly ever need my breakthrough painkillers. Side effects have been negligible for me. I will never come off of this medication willingly, because I don't believe a better treatment for currently exists."


"I have had YI's in the past but I have never tried this medicine before. Like everyone else, the second after I put the cream in I was in unbearable pain and I cried for an hour. I also had to put an ice pack on my crotch as well. I thought maybe this was just the YI acting up so I tried it again for the second night. Still the same pain!! I sat in the shower until I could get most of it out. I have tried other medicines for YI and they have NEVER hurt like this one does. I will never use this again."


"I have been using this for about a month and a half. It dry's my skin out and need to moisturize about 5 times a day opposed to twice. My face will get clear and then break out again. I'm still waiting on results."


"51yo healthy female. Minor pre menopausal signs periodic mood swings, tiredness. Prescribed Paxil 10 mgs. Severe bouts of exhaustion, heart palpitations, breathing anomalies, sexual disfunction, felt like zombie. Slept 2 days. Quit meds day 6. 16 days from quitting feel horrible. Severely depressed, anxious, tired, (never have felt anxious or depressed prior). Still sleep too much, experience outrageous wildly abnormal mood swings, have neglected my work, my house, my pets, my friends & exercise (was running 5 miles daily prior, now do nothing) Still experience breathing abnormalities. Better each day yet unable to function normally. Life & business in ruins, cry constantly. Nightmarish experience. Feel like I may never be the same again."


"It is a real shame that the oxycontin ER has been reformulated. I started taking 40 mg 3 times a day 5 years ago after having to quit my job after 45 years of service and going on disability. It gave me so much relief that I was able to do things I was unable to do for a very long time. After the reformulation I went through real bad withdrawals because the medication was no longer as effective as it had been. I finally got through that and now I am struggling with all of the problems I had before I started taking it. I'm still taking it but I am suffering with severe fatigue and can barely get out of the bed in the morning and have very little energy. I can no longer work in my garden or walk my dogs & have to learn to live this way again!"


"I started taking Calan (Varapamil) 20 years ago. It decreased my migraines from monthly, to only getting them every five years. So obviously I think it works amazing. 120mg per day, and I take extra if I feel like one is coming on. More recently I also started taking 400mg magnesium, and I think that has helped also. "


"I recently had my tonsils out and the medication they gave me makes me extremely nauseous especially while being in the car. I stopped at target to get something on a long car drive and I was told not to get Dramamine but to try Emetrol by the pharmacist. When I got back in the car, I took it and I didn't have nausea for the rest of the night! (4:30pm-2am). This stuff is great and really works. It is very sugary but it does the trick."


"I was just given Reglan this morning at the ER but don't think they combined it with anything but saline.  Usually I get the physically "hyper" feeling but with mind exhaustion with Dramamine or Benedryl.  Those medicines make me feel like all my muscles need to be repeatedly stretched and like they are itchy on the inside.  Luckily I did not get this feeling at all today with just the intravenous Reglan.
Even managed to sleep through half the drip.  Only bad thing was that it was really cold going into my arm...my whole arm felt numb.  Also, don't know if it is common or not, but was starving 6 hours later and ate more in 1 sitting than I ever before (I'm sure I will regret that tomorrow)."


"I have been treated for severe cyclic depressions (atypical), anxiety, and OCD since college and I am 47. Without effective medication, my illness is debilitating. In 1993, after trying many different antidepressants, I urged my psychiatrist to prescribe me the monoamine oxidase inhibitor, Nardil. WOW....somebody switched the lights on and the symptoms off. 90% of the time I was in remission with only brief minor periods of symptoms. Nardil was reformulated and stopped working, so I switched to Parnate. 160mg/day give 100% symptom relief (with 1200mg/day lithium). I mentally feel like I'm 20, bursting with mental energy. Many considered me brilliant prior to Parnate; but after years on it, my cognitive skills, retention, and creativity reached a new level."


"This medicine has given me my life back.  I can go months without a migraine.  My home life is great because I can go back to doing the thingsI  love and I am no longer in fear of losing my job.  I have become productive again!"


"Started Contrave on 2/1/15, no exercise, greatly modified my eating habits, got off carbonated drinks on 3/1/15.  Almost a year in and I have lost 92 pounds, I am now walking 5 miles a day, lifting weights.  Chronic back pain left after 50 pounds.  I saw a reduction in the craving suppression about month 7 and had to start exercising to continue weight loss.  I think this is a great drug if you are willing to do the lifestyle change that is required."


"Not helping for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. On max dose now, and still nothing. I get this feeling of the skin on my head contracting...I don't know if that's normal."


"Well I took the Plan B One-Step pill approximately 4 hours ago and I have not had any type of side effects so far. I did take some type of nausea syrup just in case, but I feel pretty good right now. "


"I took this pill the same day after unprotected sex and was told that I would have horrible side effects and this was my first time ever taking an emergency contraceptive pill. After I took it, I kept waiting to feel pain but I had NO side effects at ALL which made me very happy. I'm going to take a test in the next week or two to see if it worked. "


"I was on Lexapro for about 2 years until  itstopped working. Prior to that,over the last 25 years was always on an antidepressant. You name it, I've tried it. What the antidepressants  did for me was just take away the severe irritability that I had, I was really at a low point when my doctor asked me to try Brintellix. I had no desire to do anything.  I felt no joy. I had been taking 40 mg.of Lexapro a day. Doc said I didn't have to wean off it.  He said I could just switch, starting the next day and I did. I Started on 5mg for the first 2 wks then increased to 10mg it's only been 4wks that I have been on it and my nausea has got better, I have a clarity in thinking that I didn't have before. I feel joy now. I am staying on it.  Also, no sexual problems on it. Got Hope!"


"I purchased Aftera at my local CVS because they were out of Plan B. Took it maybe 15 hours after having intercourse on 10/06. Didn't have any symptoms from the pill. Fast forward to 10/24 the regular day for my cycle to start. Yes I was getting nervous after reading mixed reviews of some getting pregnant, early cycle, serve cramping and some late cycles. But I can now add that as of 10/27 it was just later than norman yet still no cramping and nauseous. I don't normally have those issues anyway. So I hope my review helps someone seeking if this pill really works."


"I've been taking Belviq since March7,2016 and today is the March 30th I've lost a total of 12 pounds, had no side effects what so ever. I love Belviq it's changing my life . I'm also working out 3x's a week and "TRYING" to eat better .Yet it's expensive but I look at it like this I would pay a lot of money on fast food so I might is well use my money on something that's helping me change my life."


"When my OBGYN switched my birth control pill to LoSeasonique in an attempt to relieve my severe cramps and menstrual migraines I was hopeful.  During my 3 month trial, I found that the severity of my migraines intensified and spotting was equal to that of a light period.  I understand that spotting may occur and should decrease over time; however I was forced to wear a panty liner every day (sometimes 2/day!) for 3 months.  I am no longer taking LoSeasonique."


"My dermatologist put me on this and I had to pay $180 for one tube! A little does go a long way though. At first when I tried this my skin didn't show any signs my dermatologist told me to wait six months! I couldn't bear it so I stopped using it and tried Clinique 3 step. It helped after 3 weeks but then I never saw any major changes so I used Ziana with Clinique and it worked great. My face isn't acne free yet but it's getting close after a while though the toner and moisturizer made my lower face flake unbelievably, so I stopped using it and now I just use the soap 2 times a day and Ziana at night. It has worked wonders. Good luck."


"Took it for about nine months and everything went smoothly. My heavy, horribly painful periods suddenly became lighter, shorter, less frequent and less painful. I even lost about 30 pounds while on the medication (I'd been trying to lose weight for years prior). However, I stopped taking it for about a month (had surgery and had to cease all medications), and when I got back on it, it was like a completely different drug. My period went back to being heavy and my cramps even worse than before, but this time it came with intense mood swings. I'm talking screaming/crying one minute, laughing the next. My advice: this is a good medication as long as you continue to take it and don't stop. The hormones will mess you up."


"My mother has severe gout and has reactions to both apuranol and cholcine. She had to take predisone since she couldn't take the other medications. Since, she started taking Uloric it has controlled her gout without any side effects.
Seems very effective and safe."


"I was diagnosed with MS is 2014 not long after I had optic neuritis in my left eye.  The neuro opthamogist misdiagnosed the optic neuritis as a mini stroke.  So sad too bad but you are blind in your left eye.  It took a hospital stay of a week before a neurologist finally got suspicious and ordered several tests, mostly MRIs and a spinal test before confirmed.  The problem was I was a 68 year old male, very fit from playing tennis 4 days a week and working as a pilot.  I was on two medications, copaxone followed by techfadera .  I failed on both as I had more symptoms and more lesions on the brain.  i am now on tysabri , am positive for the JC virus , monitored but doing tremendous.  A wonder drug.  I prefer quality of life versus quantity."


"I had great skin until I hit 40 and had breakouts that almost looked like a rash along my jawline and forehead.  I was getting scarring and comments about the "rash" on my neck.  I have been using for 4 days and I am amazed at the difference in my skin.  My skin is not dry and feels baby smooth!"


"I am 25, and have an 8 year old son. I've had my Mirena for 5 years this month, and have an appointment to have it removed and replaced in 2 weeks. I've been very happy with it so far. I decided to get the Mirena when my doctor informed me that I had osteoarthritis due to the Depo shot I had been taking for 3 years. When I had it placed it was painful at first, but it only lasted for about 12 hours. My periods came back but are very light to nonexistent. I'm extremely thankful that the Mirena doesn't have the side effects that are associated with other forms of birth control. I have absolutely no complaints with it. I love it, and cannot wait to have the new one inserted. I would recommend to everyone!"


"I was started on 40mg for 2 weeks..I felt like someone was pulling out the floor from under me and tipping the room. I was decreased to 20mg with unfortunately no improvement. I was previously on Cymbalta that seemed to "stop working". I'm now currently on Paxil which will hopefully help with my sadness and anxiety"


"I have been on Savella 12.5mg for three weeks. The horrible aching in my legs that kept me up at night is gone however the pain in neck and shoulders still there. I also have degenerative osteoarthritis (herniated discs) in my lower back. The one thing I noticed with this medication is that I sleep better at night. So far, only dry mouth is a side effect and this is great since I am very sensitive to many medications."


"I'm taking Bontril now. Today was a week. I have lost at least 3 lbs, eat 1/4th of what I did, and am more focused. While taking this you should drink lots of water because your mouth will be dry."


"This is the most amazing medication in the entire world! I remember back when I first was prescribed it I had so much anxiety that driving home to and from work would consume my thoughts and everything was such a big deal. I feel as though I am able to focus on positive things and do not worry all the time! This medication truly is a life changer! 10/10"


"24 years old and a sufferer since 5. After Humira, my psoriasis is starting to clear up. Not totally but starting to fade. As for the nails, not much of a change. I had very bad plaque psoriasis covering almost every part of my body and guttate psoriasis mainly on my wrists, arms, and back. It was painful when the lesions on my shins would crack and bleed. I've tried almost every cream/spray but those only temporary relieved them. But ever since I started Humira 2 months ago the plaque went away, my scalp psoriasis is gone, guttate psoriasis is clearing, and overall no more itching, flaking, cracking, and bleeding! The only side effects, if they are even caused by this medication is that I've been getting acne."


"This is honestly the worst birth control I've ever been on. I've been on several types and have never experienced acne like I did on Nora be. I stayed on it for 9 months, hoping it would get better but it didn't. It caused me to have painful cystic acne all over my face, the worst was by my mouth and chin. I had such bad cramps during my period that I was in tears. I just changed birth controls and these symptoms have gone away completely. I don't know why I had such a bad effect from it, but please keep in mind you don't have to suffer for months like I did."


"I was put on Luvox for anxiety and depression. I had never had anxiety before so this was the first medicine I had tried. After 4 weeks it gave me very bad anxiety and intense "racing thoughts". I was only on 25mg and then upped to 50mg. Once I got off, I learnt better ways to cope, by seeing therapists and working on my problems. Not the medicine for me."


"I started taking the pills in October 2015 weighing 214 lbs, after taking them a month I lost 17 lbs, then another 11 lbs in the second month, weighing 186.  I ran out on December 26th, 2015 and didn't have the money to get them again until the 31st of December.  I ate like a monster those four days and was certain I'd gained like 30 lbs, but I still weighed in at 186 on the 31st when I started taking them again and I'm excited to see how much I can lose this month! I have a gym membership and try to go to at least one Zumba class a week, but it's hard sometimes during the week so I can't say any of the weight loss is attributed to exercise. Prior to taking the pills I cut out most carbs and all breads from my regular diet."


"This medicine doesn't last. I'm on my second night of it and it's 4 am and I'm wide awake. My legs are very restless. I have stomach cramps. I've tired Tranzodone in fact I was up to 200 mgs and still didn't feel it. Ambien made me hallucinate. I just want to sleep at night so I can have normal days with my kids."


"My mother is 100 1/2 years old and has been living in a nursing home for the past 10 years.  Last year she developed severe anxiety (not really depression), fearful of almost everything around her.  Totally irrational.  At the request of the family, the nursing home put her on 20 mg Celexa and her mood turned around almost immediately with no side effects.  She was cheerful again and was willing to take life as it came her way.  To see if she could function on a lower dose, about a month ago they dropped her dose to 10 mg and the anxiety returned.  Today her dose was brought back up to 20 mg, and we are anticipating a return to her non-anxious self."


"This medicine was horrible for me.  At first, I was on one by a manufacturer that had it in little green oval pills.  I did have anxiety and never wanted my sister to leave me after I took the pill.  However, I felt fairly normal (although, not completely).   The pharmacy switched manufactuers and they were then little white pills that looked almost like aspirin.  The anxiety got terrible then.  I had the strong feeling of buzzing from inside my head to all the way around it.  I wanted my sister to stay with me ALL THE TIME.   I didn't even want her to leave for ONE MINUTE.   I was lucky if I could handle going to the bathroom alone.   I HATED being alone.   I don't like being alone as it is, but I can usually handle being alone for an hour"


"This pill is just in one word, unbelievable! I have lost a total of 45 pounds so far! It has given me my life back. I went from a big size 12 to a size 4! I have never been happier in my life."


"Chantix is A TRUE LIFE SAVER! I have smoked for 28 years. Always enjoyed smoking, and didn't even think of quitting until my Doctor told me about Chantix. She said 60% of her patients quit smoking with Chantix and that I should give it a try. With my husbands urging, I decided to try it. It started working right from the beginning. The first week you are allowed to smoke while taking the medication. I wasn't enjoying it as much. When my stop date came, I felt ready. I didn't stress, didn't become a raging maniac, and didn't cheat at all! Aside from the 2 minutes of nausea, I truly enjoyed the feeling of being able to fight the urge. The hardest thing for me, was the thought process. Once I said no to that, I was free! Chantix, I love you!"


"I have irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease as well a Colon issues. My GI started me on Amitiza about 10 days ago. So far it has been great. I do have some cramping a little after a pill but not compared to the constipation cramping that I have had on & off for 15 years. I was lucky he gave me a sample pack good for a month so now I just have to hope my insurance picks it up next month."


"My Local Primary Care Trust summarily decreed that LHRH Treatments were to be changed from Zoladex LA to Triptorelin - this is, without even seeming to give a thought to the possible effects of the change-over.  (No relevant trials had ever been recorded for such a change)

However after my 'mandatory' injection of Triptorelin - I immediately began to suffer from as many as 20 Hot Flushes every day. I began to record these Flushes and after only 2 weeks into the 3-month cycle, I complained to both my GP AND to the PCT direct. From my careful records, I produced an Excel graph in final support of my appeal. It was literally only 1 week before my new Injection/Implant was due, that I was allowed to return to Zoladex."


"I started 60 mg of Axiron on 30 Oct it is now 12 Nov. I feel like a gladiator, a warrior. I'm 48 this month, Blk Man, I weigh in at 264 lbs, 5-10, yes that's big but I have lots of muscle mass on me as well as fat. I checked my blood level before I started it was at 175. I never would had thought my Tlevel was low because I've always been a beast in the sack, but I did have the other symptoms.  I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week now and lift moderately. My body swells up like I was 20 again. My mind is a lot sharper than without Axiron and the sex life? Let just say I have to chase the wife down and still have mega energy. Only about 14 days in and I can see outlines of what's about to happen in my body. WOW! I am satisfied totally."


"I have peripheral nerve damage that caused drop foot and horrible neuropathy. For years I have suffered tingling and burning pain on my left ankle and foot, and the back of my thigh felt badly sunburned. I have seen many doctors including a pain management doctor who prescribed narcotic pain medication. None of these meds took away the burning nerve pain in my foot and the side effects interfered with my ability to concentrate at work. My family doctor prescribed Lyrica and it helped a lot, but I still had constant pain. She prescribed Voltaren gel for me to try and the results are nothing short of a miracle. After only two doses my foot felt better than it ever has since my injury in 1997. The awful constant burning sensation is gone!"


"Hi have been on and off different depression medication for over 10 years with no change in my mood temperament or help without benzos but after 3 months of being on this medication I can honestly say I noticed a huge difference about a week out of every month I get extremely emotional crying and uncontrollable and for the past two out of three months of being on this medication I have had none this is the only medication out of over 20 that I find to help"


"Really cheap. I am a classical singer and had two concerts coming up and almost no voice because my vocal cords were swollen. Tried tea, water, sleep, vocal rest... a week later and I'm still unable to make sound come out of my mouth after a middle C (for non-musicians- that's not very high!). I was prescribed 20 mg in the morning for three days and then 10 mg for three more. I'm still on day 1 but it already seems to be making a difference in my voice. I'm feeling the side effects though- 8 hours after my first dose I was jittery (no involuntary movements but I felt nervous and needed to move around a lot). Hard to sleep and felt a little out of it- like I was on a mild dose of Vicodin."


"Alcoholism - I was cured.  I went up to 330mg per day.  My maintenance dose is 180mg per day."


"Outbreak commenced on Sunday - I took the 1500mg dose as soon as I suspected it was a cold sore. The outbreak progressed and on Monday I could feel/see the bumps/redness and the itching was getting much worse. Today (Tuesday) the bumps are nearly gone and the redness is abating with no abnormal sensations. Wonderful to have this product after 30 years of living with cold sores that last for 14 days from start/finish."


"At 76 I need a little push (or kick in the butt). I got the 25s. Used a couple of prescriptions over time and wanted to try a 50mg dose. Doubled my 25s and found no improvement in erection length of time - I'm back to the 25s.
Overall Viagra does it's job IF some foreplay is engaged in.
I take to interfering medications and I'm very happy with the product"


"I've been taking Femara for a little over 5 months and have yet to experience any side effects whatsoever. I'd been warned about hot flashes, night sweats, joint pain, muscle pain, and so far nothing. I have two smallish tumors in one breast that we caught very early on, and at my 4 month ultrasound they've decreased by about 50%. I'll have a nipple-sparing mastectomy in about 2 weeks with DIEM flap reconstruction...the grossest part of this whole episode in my opinion...followed by radiation. No chemo here, just a very healthy mostly vegetarian diet and tons of walking. I'm 69, 5'6", 135, and so far consider myself about the luckiest cancer patient anywhere. Maybe I'll start feeling sick at some point but not yet. Hang in there ladies!!"


"My girlfriend took Plan-B 13 hours after we had unprotected sex.
It was our first time and, to get better, she was in her fertile days. I didn't finish in her but we're freaking out anyway.
The next few days were horrible, I was googling all the things about levonorgestrel and feeling a lot of anxiety. Even the fact that she wasn't experiencing any side-effects made me more nervous. However, about a week later the period finally came.
Plan-B really works, it's all about taking it ASAP and trying to stay calm."


"I was on this pill for 3 weeks to bring my hirtutism under control. Whilst on this pill I constantly bled, had acne (I never get acne), and my migraines were the worst I’ve ever had them and I’m a chronic migraine sufferer - it came back all day every day for 5 days. I ended up just getting off them!"


"Love it , finally felt normal or what I think it means , only problem I have is the restless legs its much worse now that its been increased to 80mg , but I was fine on 60mg , my solution is to sponge my legs with cool water as it happens at night , helps a bit . Otherwise its the magic bullet for me."


"For the past 20 years I have been on antidepressants, longest being Remeron. Along with the depression I have had periods of intense anxiety, unbelievably intense, to the extent that I could not stand to be here. In December of 2011 I was in the throws of anxiety and my psych doc suggested 2mg Abilify (in addition to the Remeron). My anxiety was GONE in a day and it has stayed GONE, My depression is gone as well, My pharmacist has told me that others have had a similar experience and are as amazed as I am. I can't say enough about this medicine, amazing, just amazing."


"Woke up next morning from first dose not feeling the greatest. Within a short period of time I was vomiting, had the chills, worst aching all over that I have ever had. Lasted over 3 hours. Finally...slept most of it off after 6 or so hours of sleep. Woke dizzy and had a headache that lasted through the next day. Really thought I was dying but too sick to move."


"I prefer the 150 OTC to the 300 prescription version. Had side effects (mainly constipation) with 300.  Both work fine, but I thought the prescription would work better and would be less costly because it is covered by insurance, but now I will go back to the OTC."


"I asked for something to ease me to sleep after the horrific death of my 26 yr old child.  I realized I had not slept (REM) for almost a month and a half.  When seeking help from my doctor I asked that I not get a narcotic or a sleep aid that would increase depression, sleep walking, suicide, and we went with this drug.  I was given 100mg tabs to take 20 minutes before bed.  It was not working and now on my second bottle, I need to take 200mgs to get sleepy.  I have noticed labored breathing but chalk it up to the cold moving in, not sure if the two are related and will only know that when I chose not to take it."


"When I first started this I got so sick but I realized you have to eat before taking this, do not take on empty stomach! My acne did somewhat get better, I would definitely recommend this to underweight people it added a few pounds on me! No emotional problems, period lasts anywhere from 3-7 days, cramps aren't as bad, good sex drive!"


"I rarely have side effects to medication. In fact, I think there is only one other drug I have been on that I have had a side effect from other than this and trust me, I have been on more than I can even count. But this one, was AWFUL. Within the first day I was shaky, my heart was racing, and I felt dizzy if I stood up quickly, but what was even worse was the insomnia! I thought I could get used to the medication but 5 days later and it still wasn't any better. My doctor gave me trazodone to help me sleep but the other side effects were still there so I went off it after 2 weeks."


"I was in the Emergency Room for a kidney stone and was given a couple medications in my IV. I told the nurse that I was becoming very nauseous and needed something to prevent myself from vomiting. She came back with a syringe and thought it was Zofran. The nurse began pushing the medication and said that she was administering Reglan. About 2 minutes later, my chest felt extremely tight, I couldn't stop moving my legs or hold still. I had an extreme urge to rip my IV out and run... and run... and run... I had a feeling of anxiety unlike anything I have ever felt before. It wasn't your typical 'butterflies', this was like I wanted to escape my skin or just end it all right there. I would much rather be dead than to feel the way Reglan felt."


"I've been on Alesse for 6 months without problems. I gained a cup size and maintained my weight. No mood swings. No spotting. TAKE NOTE OF THE BRAND AT YOUR PHARMACY THOUGH! Often times they prescribe you a generic brand even IF your doctor wrote Alesse. I had noticed this and spoke to my pharmacist. And got the name brand."


"I had the Mirena IUD inserted about a month and a half ago. I cramped the day of a little bit and everything was fine. So far I love it, I have only had one period since and have been expecting a second and it hasn't come yet. Unfortunately I am having it removed in a couple of weeks. My husband and I after having sex noticed blood in our areas- and it was from the strings of the Mirena cutting him. This was really painful for him and it is not his first injury during sex since I had it inserted. I would recommend if your partner is rather larger than average that this may not be for you because it has been an issue for us since inserted."


"Requip has been a God send for me. As with any other medication it affects everyone differently. I take it only at bed time because that is the only time it affects me. I do recommend this medicine to all that I know that suffer from restless leg syndrome."


"I started taking 50mg about 4 years ago as I had a hard time going to and staying asleep. It worked, for me. About 15 mins later I'm asleep, and I wake up restful and not grouchy. I use to be a grouch in the morning. After about a year I felt it was not as effective as in the beginning so my doc upped it to 100mg and I've never looked back. Love me some trazodone!"


"I've been taking Bontril SR (105 mg) for 30 days. The 1st week I lost 7lbs and the 2nd week I lost 3 lbs and none since. The 1st week I had tons of energy and a significant decrease in appetite. The 2nd week my appetite started to come back and the energy was gone. I now have almost the same appetite as before, although I do get full a little quicker. Went to Doctor today to get refill. Going to try 1 more month. I did follow the 1200 calorie diet and drank lots of water the 1st 2 weeks. It is hard to restrict calories now that the hunger is back. As far as side effects, I did experience headaches, insomnia and dry mouth for a few days, but that has gone away. I was also irritable that 1st week. Now the only side effect is dizziness if I don't drink enough water."


"I have been taking Savella for 2 years now.  It really helps relieve my fibro pain.  I was extremely reluctant at first because of the price.  My Dr. insisted I take it and I thought it wasn't helping at all, but I continued to take it anyway because I was desperate for relief.  There was a week I forgot to put it in my weekly pill boxes.  My body was in SO MUCH PAIN!!  When I discovered that I had forgotten it, only then, did I realize how much it helped.  I am thin, it doesn't cause me weight gain.  I now am back to working full time and am productive again.  Stay strong and keep pushing fellow fibro sufferers. ❤❤"


"I've been on Aviane for about 3 months and so far it's been pretty good. I've had no weight gain, hardly any spotting, and absolutely no pimples, lighter periods, a few mood swings. I do get migraines which I got before I started the pill and nausea which are both tolerable."


"Other than mood swings and headaches, this BC experience is bliss. Little to no period or pains."


"Only been on this for 3 weeks and it started working well.  Woke up this morning and I am itching like I have the worst sunburn of my life!  I'd rather have the acne!"


"I've had YI in the past, and they would go away either by pill or just because. This time I was fed up so I bought the monistat 7 day pack and BOY OH BOY. Less than a minute of inserting that thang it started to BURN. I'm saying like putting hot bacon grease on your kitty type burn. Sitting in a bath full of hot sauce type burn. Dropping the curling iron on your kitty type burn. And it's gonna burn for a good 30 minutes. I really wanted to scratch but I couldn't. I'm telling you, this thang is on FIRE. So it betta work in the morning. And this YI better be gone after these 7 days bc I can't do dis no mo."


"I have been on Saxenda for 5 weeks now . I have lost 15 pounds. I take my injections at 7pm every night. I wanted to avoid the side effects by taking it at night. The nausea has been really bad for the past week, since I have been on 3mg. Zofran has helped. I find I do have to take a Laxative to aid with the constipation. I'm happy it is working . A long journey ahead."


"I have situational depression, never dealt with it before. Wellbutrin had definitely helped get me out of bed each day. The "situation" is becoming better as well but I find my emotions aren't as out of whack. I cry less & get angry less. I do feel it made me more anxious which I'm already dealing with & taking Buspirone for. I didn't experience many side effects BUT one that is hard to deal with but because it seems to make me get through each day a little better, I deal with it. It makes my throat feel closed, which is very annoying. I feel often like I can't breathe well & that I can't swallow or that something is stuck in my throat. I've not taken any other pills on several days to determine that it was the Wellbutrin that did it & it is."


"I've been on zyprexa since 2006. Although it causes weight gain, I've decided to weight train or do cardio for an hour every day, which is helping. The weight can continue, but from my experience, it was only when I was inactive. I also feel a little sedated but that doesn't keep me from doing things. The hallucinations are about 90% gone. Overall, zyprexa works for me as it's one of the two drugs that worked because most of the other drugs I tried were not effective, reacted with my skin, or did nothing."


"Take the pill as soon as you can and don't stress! Trust me stress will only make it worse! I took the pill within 70 hours and I was a wreck ! The pill works . But it does have its side affects !! which can be a pain but it's better than having a baby your not ready for ! ❤"


"This medicine is great. I have no side effects and the hand eczema clears up within a week. I have to get a shot about every 10-12 months."


"I was on it for about two weeks hoping some of the side effects would get better as I did lose my cravings to eat sugars, but I had these foggy type headaches alot of the time, could not fall asleep at night anymore which made me grumpy and irritable. Plus I always had this weird taste in my mouth that just wouldnt go away. I just didnt think it was good for me to have these issues going on."


"3 weeks now, so far no problems."


"I never thought I would be able to find something to clear my acne. After 10 years of searching and trying every OTC product and prescription product nothing worked. The I started trying Birth Control Pills and went through about 5 different kinds of them until I tried Yaz. It does wonders for my face and my confidence. I can't believe that taking a tiny pill, once per day can be such an easy cure to my skin problems. Don't let you doctor convince you that the generic will do the same as Yaz... it won't. "


"This drug gave me such severe arthritis-like symptoms (intense joint pain, immobility of joints, inability to walk) for almost a year. While I was on the drug, I did not smoke, but as soon as I had to stop taking it so as to try and stop the immobility I started smoking again - out of frustration. "


"I got my first nexplanon in 2013, had it for three years and got my new one about 2 weeks ago. I love it. I have two week periods every other month (so the same amount as a normal cycle within a year's time). Before it I had heavier periods. Now they are a lot lighter only downside is that I gained a few pounds (I became a lot less active also which added to the gained weight). When it was time to change it at the end of the three years my cycle stayed on for about 3weeks (Not bleeding the whole time. It was the normal two weeks as stated before and then a week of discharge that I usually get after my cycles). I've read a lot of bad reviews on this, but I absolutely love it. I literally don't have to think about birth control for three year"


"I take 3 of the 750mg capsules 3 times a day for my ulcerative colitis and have seen that as long as I make sure to take them at the same times every day, then it works very well and flare ups are few. The capsules are easy to swallow and the medication itself has been very easy on my stomach."


"My 16 year old daughter has been in and out of the hospital for a year and 8 months with alot of ups and downs. She was given Seroquel xr and she is like a new person. She has gained weight from it and wanted to be taken off of it, but as the doctor started taking her off of it she did not like what was happening to her and said I would rather gain weight and be stable then skinny and angry and sad all the time."


"I have used it many times for muscle spasms. A low dose usually is all that is needed. No side effects except a little drowsiness."


"I got the IUD inserted just three days ago. Ouch!! I was not expecting the pain I experienced. I have cramps and bleeding but I really hope it's worth it. Reading about the possible effects scares me a bit. Praying for positive outcomes!!"


"So I read alot of bad reviews on it, knowing that people only write reviews if they have bad experiences. Well I decided to take a shot at it. I am a week  since first putting it in. I am having a lot of discharge, and my vagina is really raw. My boyfriend can feel it during sex, and it burns his penis. I am not having any depression, but I am super irritable, and have mood swings. I wouldn't say don't try it, but it isn't for everyone."


"Been on Chantix for 2 weeks now, get the nausea (but just now read to take with food) and vivid, fun dreams.  Other then that no other adverse side effects.  Been a smoker since I was 13 years old, now 46 and average pack-pack 1/2 day.  With Chantix down to about 1/2 pack per day.  But not a strong urge to quit, hopefully soon. "


"I had two children before getting the IUD, so my insertion was pretty much painless. I did experience some bleeding afterwards, and I felt a little strange a few weeks later, but I eventually felt normal again. I'll continue to update my review on this product."


"I had a positive experience with Lo Loesterin Fe. I had spotting within the first couple months, but besides that no complaints! However, I didn't get my period as often as I used to."


"For the last 25 years I have smoked a pack a day, and dipped a can every two days.  I have been on Chantix for a month now, and not had any tobacco for the last week!  The week before that I did have one cigarette.  But only one in two weeks is still awesome.  I do have some of the side effects.  For instance I have extremely vivid dreams, but they are not all bad dreams. I also have an upset stomach.  I figure that putting up with these side effects is better than smoking.  I would, and do recommend this medicine to any smoker.  It is truly a miracle in a bottle.
"


"I started taking this medication 1 month ago and have had absolutely no ill effects from it. My first worry was not being able to sleep once I heard the word "stimulant". Not an early riser I set my alarm clock to go off at 6AM just to take the pill!  Now I am taking it much later and have absolutely no ill effects.  Seem to have more energy, sleep better and starting to get some things accomplished instead of dabbling in two or three different things."


"I took the 15 day free trial offer and lost 11 pounds in two weeks. I only took 1 pill a day, 10 mg instead of two pills a day."


"I love Desogen.  I was on a couple of other kinds of pills before I started taking it including one that made me cry whenever I saw large bodies of water.  I've been on Desogen for a year now and have not experienced any emotional side effects.  My only complaint is that it's made my periods start out really light and get heavy at the end, which is a little irritating.  Other than that, I love Desogen.  I haven't had any desire to switch pills since I started taking it."


"I took this 75mg for about 5 months

I loved it how it got me up & going compared to the 20mg of Prozac was taking off & on 9 yrs before But around the 4th month started finding myself getting mad easy & than my 1st panic attack happened. Had never new about the this & wish I never did. Stopped the Wellbutrin now 6 months & still having horrible attacks that keep sending me to hospital. ER DR told me I'm not the 1st to say their panic attacks started after taking Wellbutrin. So I'm standing up to ask if any one else has because it's not in there side effect list. I'm gonna make a blog on YouTube soon to help find an army"


"Coming to the end of my second one and it is brilliant."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Awful.  The only thing worse was the concoction I used for my previous colonoscopy, which required twice the amount of fluid.

I don't understand how the pharmaceutical industry can't come up with something more palatable."


"Took forever to get approved for this medication.  I basically had to fail every other treatment first which I did.  Insurance kicked in about 9K and Taltz covered the rest for a $5 co-pay.  The injections feel like a bee sting but it only last for about 5 seconds.  Within a day or two I started to see improvement on my skin.  Within a week or two I had no flakey patches or shedding.  It took about 2 months before the deep red/purple scaring went away.  The only side effect I experienced is the upper respiratory infection.  I cannot stress this enough.  Do not take this is if you are sick.  If you smoke or get frequent bronchitis you will get an upper respiratory infection shortly after taking this.  Other than that it works great."


"It's funny because I usually get a break out here and there like every normal girl and I thought maybe this was just a coincidence that I was horrendously breaking out. I'm talking huge pimples plastered on my checks and little white heads all over my forehead. I thought maybe it was a coincidence till I read reviews and seen that this causes acne for a lot of people. I quit taking it 2 days ago, and my face is already immediately clearing back up again. I think I'll just stick to condoms. Birth control has been a night mare for my face."


"I was excited about the prospect of having a birth control that I didn't have to worry about for 3 years. However, that excited has turned into bitterness. 2 months in and I already want out. I can't wait the 3 months like the other women on here.  I bleed all the time. My moodiness and sadness makes me so tired and irritable it's affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. He sees an emotional increase and misses my fierce independence he fell for. Low sex drive and that leads to more moodiness. The weight gain along with the emotions makes me feel even worse and then leads to more sadness. I made an appointment to have this remove."


"It's good."


"I've been on Nuvaring for 6 months. I previously had the arm implant, but the hormones caused cystic acne and irregular bleeding. No problems with the Nuvaring aside from slight weight gain (couple of pounds), which I can live with. My periods have been very regular, no spotting, no mood swings, no change in sex drive. I experienced minimal cramping the first month and continued bloating during my periods.

This is a good option for those who have a hard time remembering to take the pill everyday. Once a month is phenomenal!"


"It works well, and very quickly! One or two tabs taken after a cup of coffee helps to avoid acid indigestion. Works for me; cheap, easy to use, safe. Nothing faster!"


"Wonderful...only one that works for me."


"had flu like body aches, constant urge to defecate  and brutal migraines from day 3. fatigue was all consuming.  rather deal with the joint pain!!"


"Celexa and Zoloft made me feel detached from life so I wanted to try Aplenzin. At first I thought it was the wonder drug. I felt ALIVE, full of hope and energy. I cared about my future and could get things done. I was so happy, possibly euphoric. I stood up for myself and felt in control. I thought I had found the answer. That was on the low, intro. dose (174?). Then I went up to middle, recommended dose (348?). All that good stuff disappeared. Can't sleep, feel like I'm on the verge of panic attacks. Found myself watching the colors on TV and the colors owned me. Never had this experience before. Mood swings and deeper depression now. Want that good feeling back. Have call in to doctor about going back to lower dose."


"On Votrient since 2010 after Sutent. Results were good.  After six months - no sign of metastasis and have been in remission since 2012.  Votient had the effect of high blood pressure which was mitigated by Procardia. As of late, have lost weight and am having some digestive issues."


"I have been on 100 mg daily for 12 years and have had fairly controlled symptoms compared to others I know with Fibromyalgia.  I am increasing my dose to 200 mg daily to help control my anxiety and insomnia.  Savella has been a life saver for me!"


"I took 2 dulcolax tablets thinking that just one wouldn't work. 4 hours after I felt instant relief but I had loose bowels for 10 days straight and lost 12 pounds over the course of those days. It did what it said it would do so 10/10 from me"


"I've been on celexa and a fentynal patch for a few years during and after battling cancer. but the fatigue from pain meds and anti-depressants left me feeling so tired through out the work day. I was to the point of almost falling asleep at the wheel driving home from work.  Weekends consisted of laying around doing nothing, losing all interest in even going for a haircut on Saturday. I asked my oncologist about ritalin and he put me on 20mg 3 times a day.  I had no idea how well it cured my depression as well as kept me going through out the day without feeling tired at all!  I never thought the Celexa worked for my depression and wonder if i should talk to my doctor now about weaning myself off the celexa and just go with the ritalin."


"I've Taken One Dulcolax Last Night Around 10 ..This Morning I Had Severe Cramps In My Stomach, Went To Make A Bowel Motion, Now I Feel Better. I'm Still A Little Crampy But I Think Everything Came Out. I Recommend To Anyone Constipated."


"I am on 40 mg of Lexapro for the treatment of BDD. I have been on this medication for over 6 months and it has changed my life!"


"I have been on Suboxone for going on 2 years. It has truly helped me. If you fall down a few times after you start taking it, its okay, get back up, take it as you are told and keep trying.
"


"I'm a retired U.S.Marine and have been having trouble with sleeplessness and nightmares from service related issues. My doctor first prescribed Amitriptyline (Elavil) and I became an angry monster. She switched me to Trazodone, 25mg at bedtime and it has greatly helped with sleep and the depression. It has also helped with controlling my emotions. I have also been alcohol free for over 8 months now with no intentions of drinking again. It's helped me with several issues and I would highly recommend you inquire with your doctor about trying it if you're having any of the problems I have experienced."


"Was on Enbrel a few years back, then the plaque came back, my dr put me on humira, it cleared 20% so far.  two months plus, will give it more time :-("


"I got my first implanon in Jan 2012 because I wanted an effective long term birth control that I didn't have to remember to take. The initial 3 years left me with a great experience of regular periods & no side effects. It was perfect for me & with no wants to have children at this stage in Jan 2015 I had another inserted. Almost instantly my periods became heavy & irregular. I went back to the doctors weeks later & was assured it was the same contraceptive as before & just a side effect. I bled for another 3 weeks, went back & was prescribed a month of the pill Zoelly which stopped my period. To follow I had 6 months of irregular bleeds with the final straw being a heavy period lasting 3 months. Had it removed & now on the pill Levlen."


"I wanted to share my experience on here as I found comfort at looking at the reviews at a time of panic myself. I did not experience the side effects until a week after I had taken the pill. I experienced stomach pains, diarrhoea, fatigue and spotting. I read online that spotting was a sign of pregnancy so I was panicking! I was on holiday at this time so unfortunately it did damper my mood while I was on holiday a little. I was reading so many forums, researching the effectiveness of the pill, researching symptoms of pregnancy, etc etc, making myself so stressed out. I was losing so much sleep over it. Finally, my period came a week late, but I was so relieved! Have faith in the pill ladies :)"


"It worked and no side effects that I noticed."


"Just got Skyla today. My gyno said it would be best to get it on the last few days of my period since I haven't had kids. It finished yesterday, got the skyla today, and the pain was pretty minimal (I took two advil before). A bit more painful than a pap smear, but it was over super quickly. I had mild cramps and spotting throughout the day, but with advil it was totally fine! Seeing all I had to pay was a $50 co-pay for the doctors visit, this was definitely a great choice for three years of birth control!"


"Was given a sample and within two days symptoms cleared up.  Insurance denied giving me full prescription so had to go with Protonix.  Within 3 days of taking the Protonix all symptoms returned.  Don't know what the difference is but the Dexilant works."


"Sometimes after a night of partying I become nauseous. One of my customers suggested Dramamine after I threw up. Now I can party all night! My revenue is up as I can still work. Thank you dramamine! (oh and a side note Dramamine works a lot better taken orally compared to rectally but what do I know I'm just a 30 year old man. Go nuts!)"


"This medicine is amazing and I would like to thank all the inventors and people involved in developing and commercializing this medication. I was afflicted with a pneumonia and after I started taking, I started seeing a benefit within 24-48 hours. 7 days of treatment did the job and I have myself back."


"Ok"


"I usually use Ocella (been using for 4 years) and switched to Zarah for my vacation because the pharmacy was out, but wow, it triggered huge mood swings and a deep depression the 2nd week in,  By the 3rd week, I was crying every morning and feeling in a slump for hours on end.  It was sporadic, like on and off, sometimes I'd feel fine and then I'd feel horrible again in a few hours.  Yikes."


"Saved my life. I didn't know I had anxiety, doctors kept giving me high blood pressure medication only. Finally went to a psychiatrist, he gave me Xanax and Tofranil. Xanax helped a lot, the antidepressant I had problems with, sleeping mostly. Been on Xanax for 25 years and the only medicine that really helps my Panic Attacks."


"The first thing I would recommend would be that you get some A&D ointment. Use it every time you have to wipe. It will make it less uncomfortable. The worst part of this to me was drinking this extremely bad tasting medicine. The first dose it was all I could do not to throw up and I don't do that. Then I got really bad chills. So for the second dose I plugged my nose and then drank room temperature water. But the medicine cleans you out. Actual colonoscopy is a breeze after the prep"


"My doctor gave me this in 2010 when I first began having seasonal allergies. I thought it was the best allergy medication out there, like top notch stuff. Turns out its just a basic type of medication. No superpowers involved, but it works great you would think there are superpowers in them!"


"I have been on Viibryd for 3 weeks now and I feel awesome. I had the bathroom issues just for one day and then it stopped. It happened again when I increased to 20mg but I feel great. I noticed after the 3rd day that my depression was gone. I feel really upbeat and my husband has really noticed a big difference. I have been on a lot of other antidepressants and by far this is the best one. I am also on Latuda which seems to be working well also. I give this medicine a 10 because it has really helped me."


"Taking this for 2 to 3 days allows me to walk without pain. I think the side effects are bad. However I do not have any of them. I am just glad I can walk, the pain is intense without it."


"This drug can kill you.  One of the worst reactions to a medication that I've ever experienced.  Last Saturday, I could hardly walk out of a store as the muscle contractions grew worse and the pressure in my chest increased.  And ER visit followed and a week later, I am still weak.  It did not get out of my system in 24, 48 nor 72 hours.  Watch this drug closely when you are given it for treatment, especially if you have already had physical symptoms that are similar to some of its side effects.  And yes, I had the diarrhea, the spasms which ran up into my torso and the nausea but I tried working through it all.  I could barely lift my arms last Saturday and I was in pain from my feet to the top of my head.  There was no comfortable place"


"Following a stroke in June 2014, that Christmas I had become aware of an extremely unpleasant discomfort everywhere but particularly my hands/arms/legs and feet this led to 7 months of tests/scans/x-rays to try and determine what was the cause.
Then finally a neurologist diagnosed central post stroke pain.
The prognoses did not look good, anti-depressives or anti-convulsives where just about all they had to treat this condition, at first I was reluctant especially when I read about the possible side-effects but over time I was beginning to despair.  I  decided to talk to my GP and was put on 10mg of amitriptyline and told to come back later this month (Jan) by that weekend I was sure the tingles/prickly heat were less evident, but I had only been taking them for 3 days surely it%u2019s too soon (I had read to give it 2-6 weeks before I could expect any beneficial change).
I have now been on them for 1 week and to my amazement they are working,  so from a 7/10 and slowly creeping up it is now a 5/10 and feeling a little better every day, all this in the space of just a week.
For me Amitriptyline has saved my life, I was sinking and in despair and was seriously thinking I could not go on with this chronic pain day after day.
How I wished I%u2019d tried this medication earlier instead of being influenced by so many negative reports because for me Amitriptyline is truly miraculous, I feel like putting the empty box in my bedroom surrounding it with candles and flowers and on my knees worshiping it.
If you are reluctant about taking it for neurological pain especially central pain following stroke please don%u2019t be, try it you have nothing to lose except pain.
And just one more thing no side-effects"


"Suicidal early 20s-previous control found with counseling, Zoloft, Effexor, no other drugs giving much or lengthy control of disease. About 2 yrs ago began Viibryd-quickly brought up to 40 mg dose. Still have dry mouth and some diarrhea (so bad at first it actually turned into IBS for me) and continue with daily headaches and queasiness, though no weight gain as others reported.  Last 5-6 months have noticed sharp increase in sudden unexpected crying with no ability to stop, and now more aggressive feelings and an increase in suicidal ideation which I have not had for many years. Very surprising and frightening after all this time (40  years since diagnosis). Will wean off this drug soon when/if I can find a Dr to address these issues"


"Helps calm my extreme anxiety!"


"More powerful than I thought... dr prescribed this to treat scoliosis pain in a 'non narcotic way'. It helped my back pain greatly. I was also in a great mood in the beginning. I thought it was wonderful (despite a constant minor headache)! As the months went on, I no longer had that wonderful feeling and needed the tramadol to function. NEVER went over prescribed dose (50 mg 3 times per day). When I had to take it at 7:30 am so I could get out of bed at 8:00, I knew it was a problem. Seems you can become dependent without really knowing it. BAD withdrawals that lasted over a month (I was on it 11 months)."


"I got it put in early July and after a week i started spotting then bleeding and stop then spot ik its been over a month since i had it but i hate it i spot it all the time i am ready to already get it out i don't recommended it i haven't gained weight yet i did have minor cramps when inserting it they do numb u so u cant feel it"


"I got the skyla iud since I'm a diabetic every other birth control were raising my sugars. I had tried the implant several years ago and I had month long cycles I got it removed after a year and a half. I started taking the pill my sugars went through the roof. So we said we'd try an iud and it's definitely going very well, so far! When I got it placed, I was given 3 advils prior, than they also numbed my cervix and I just felt a slight sting from the needle, but I didn't feel anything afterwards. But once I got home I was told I'd cramp I did, and I also bled. It's been 6 months, now, the first 5 were pretty heavy but not a lot of cramps. This last month I had slight bleeding I didn't need anything because it was only when I would wipe."


"This is the only medicine that helped take care of the symptoms I had from Fibromyalgia, with no side effects"


"Someone replied to my first response that I need to wait 6 months.
Well its been way over 2 years now, and I am still tearing and having that stinging feeling.
I use 100% organic coconut oil for a lube, as my OBGYN said to try that too.
I have no side effects from the coconut oil.
I used both and then after "enduring" sex, I was left with a couple of tears that were bleeding and  stinging.
I am going to call her back and tell her I need extra strength. Even after the 1 mg amount, bathing the walls of my vagina, its still not enough.
I am only 55, and did not think, this was going to be the end of me.
My husband is 13 years older than me, and I am the one that has to turn him away because I  am not healed enough to try again"


"Took for two months, 1 Capsule a day for my ADD. I have tried most ADHD medicines, stimulant and non- stimulant types. I was expecting a 'non event' transition, from adderall, to

Dexedrine predominant Vyvanse. I have used Dexedrine and found it helpful with focus and follow through issues, with minimal side effects. Vyvanse did not turn out to be what I'd hoped for. Minimal fuss, and a stable continuation of living and treating my ADD. Vyvanse

Had no similarities to Dexedrine . Felt sad, bad, and disconnected from being in the moment.

Side effects did not disappear during course of treatment. Somehow a perfectly acceptable

Drug ingredient, Dexedrine, became Lisdexamphetamine. The long acting formulation benefit is lost, to a imposter drug"


"I'm a 40 year old female, mother of two. I'm being newly treated for depression. I've been taking Pristiq for 5 days. I noticed an incredible difference within 30 minutes of my first dosage.(I know it seems hard to believe) The heaviness between my eyes subsided, and I felt at ease. I am loving my new attitude towards all and everything. I have noticed some side effects, a sore jaw from clenching, and a lack of appetite. I can live with the sore teeth and jaw as long as that is the worst of the side effects and a bit of weight loss would be great. I notice I'm waking up happier and bright eyed, instead of miserable and heavy feeling. So far, I'm loving Pristiq."


"I started Fetzima 4 months ago.  My blood pressure went up dramatically to the point that now I am on blood pressure medication.  I am also irritable now.  I see my doctor in one week and I will tell him to change it.  I've never had a blood pressure side effect from medication before.  My blood pressure was also normal."


"Took first dose of 75mg before bed. Fell asleep at 1030 and slept well, actually. Woke up at 530 with eyes wide open as if i just had 10 espressos. It's now 630 and I don't have to be out of bed until 7. Can't sleep anymore.  Feeling jittery with jaw clenching and teeth chattering when I open my mouth a little. Hands are sweating. I feel a little emotionally numb. Slight ringing in ears and slight headache with slight nausea. I feel peaceful but dull. Not sure if I will take again."


"Been on Stelara for almost 1 years with no real success."


"I haven't had many yeast infections and have never taken anything over the counter before trying Monistat 1. I also didn't read the reviews before trying this option. I inserted the capsule last night and haven't experienced any burning or itching symptoms so I'm hoping that's a good sign and the infection will be gone quickly. I've had the yeast infection for over a week before realizing what it was. I initially bough vagisil after experiencing the intense itching and burning many of you have described. Maybe my experience is different because I waited longer to treat it? I also didn't apply the Monistat 1 cream since I am not experiencing external symptoms anymore."


"I started taking Belviq about 6 weeks ago.  When I visited with my Doctor to ask about Belviq, he was very apprehensive, as he'd had a few traumatic experiences related to Phen-Phen.  We discussed it at length and he reluctantly agreed to provide me with a prescription, with the caveat that I check in with him once a month.  Well, in my first month, I lost 12 lbs!  Side effects - initial, some constipation and dry mouth - increased fluid intake and both disappeared.  I do feel "foggy" at times, sleep deeply and find it hard to wake up.  Otherwise, all is well and I'm finding the side effects decreasing with time.  Looking forward to continuing the positive trajectory and getting back to pre-preggo weight!"


"I was on Diovan five years ago for high blood pressure and had been taking it for about two years when I woke up one morning and felt so sick and weak that I could not walk. I happened to be in hospital at the time and they discovered that my potassium and blood pressure had dropped significantly. They stopped the Diovan and two days later I was back to normal. However, my blood pressure is above the recommended levels and the local doctor put me back on Diovan about six weeks ago and this week I got the weakness back plus muscle aches, severe, so I stopped Diovan two days ago and so far I still have all the bad side effects, but hoping they will go away soon. A visit to the doctor is on the cards."


"This worked great for me and I'm grateful I didn't read the reviews before using it. I had a slight warming sensation but not uncomfortable. The itching was considerably less than the yeast infection which had been brewing 1-2 days. I think it also made me lightheaded for 40-60 minutes and wouldn't have thought to mention that but I saw someone else had the same reaction.

My only complaint is it is messy. I had to use this medication in the morning before a busy day and the tiny pantyliners I use definitely didn't cut it."


"I have been on Bactrim for 5 weeks now and today I decided to stop taking it due to the side effects I'm experiencing. My gums have become inflamed and have a burning sensation that is very bothersome. My face also feels somewhat numb and tingly. I'm disappointed that I can't tolerate this medicine because it really did start clearing up my moderate acne problem. I would recommend giving Bactrim a try..it just didn't agree with me."


"The good:  I've been taking Belviq for two weeks.  I have had a significant decrease in appetite & desire to eat.  Even when I am hungry, I'm really not interested in food.  I get up to find something to snack on, but find myself walking away because nothing looks good to eat.  I've had a 7 pound weight loss, so I would call this a success.

The bad:  I have definitely noticed the fatigue, all day long.  My mood is pretty flat all of the time.  Not happy, not sad, just flat.  I have been dizzy, at times to the point of needing to sit down.  I also notice difficulty keeping my eyes focused on the screen.  Like my eyes are drifting without my being able to control it.  I'm thinking about stopping or lowering dose."


"I was taking this and Cipro and found it made me very, very dizzy. After talking it over with my doctor she changed the dose from 3 times a day to half strength 4 times a day. The dizziness went away, mostly, but the taste in my mouth is awful."


"I've been on vyvanse for about a year maybe a year and a half but damn this medication is amazing when you take it normally, I say normally because I usually only take it when I know I gotta focus so like for school, work, a project, etc but when I'm just home I don't take it. Now vyvanse has helped me so so much its just the getting the medication on time is what I struggle with, because I've noticed now that when I'm off vyvanse my ADHD is way worse like the anger and getting distracted part. Yet I don't like taking pills in general I know they do damage inside but if it works it works you know I'd rather struggle with the medication than have to deal with ADHD alone."


"Works for me."


"I started drinking in high school, alcoholism runs in my family and I started early. I tried AA and 5 rehab facilities but always started drinking again. I never had any will power or control, but alcoholics rarely do.  Over 10 years ago now a doctor asked me if I wanted to try this medication and it worked from day one. It took away my cravings, changed the way I functioned, my entire life. At 46 years old I was sober and staying sober for the first time. I now have a little over 10 years sobriety. Run don't walk to your doctor to try this medication. It can give you the life we use to only dream of. Good luck!"


"I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe after taking Tri-sprintec for 4 months and experiencing depression and mood swings.  I just finished my 3rd pack of Loestrin 24 Fe and I did not get a period each of the 3 months.  I took a pregnancy test which was negative.  Reading these other reviews makes me feel at ease that this is not unusual with this pill, but I am still planning on calling my Dr.  I felt like I had all the physical signs of getting a period each month, but nothing at all.  Other than no period, I only had sore breasts at the start of pack 3, but that went away in 2 weeks. I do experience nausea, but I get that with every pill I have tried so far.  Not sure if I like a pill where I don't get a period."


"I've been taking this medicine for 13 months. My CD4 count is normal and virus load undetectable.

I'm grateful for this medicine, I know it's saving my life, but I still don't like it and here's why;

1. Mood changes. Since I've started taking it I've been moody and find it hard to concentrate. I'm sure this medicine is mildly psychoactive. My dreams are vivid and sometimes I get terrifying nightmares and wake up screaming.

2. Price.

3. This goes back to #1, but I haven't really felt "myself" since I started this medicine. I feel a sense of unreality to my thoughts and sensations. "


"I got this for depression, I took 150 mg a day. Now I need 50 mg to fall asleep, sometimes even 100mg. I don't know how this works for people who take only 10-20 mg. Yes, I get a dry mouth, but that's ok. I noticed that I have very realistic dreams and sometimes a hangover for the next day (after 100mg)."


"I've been on Belviq for about a month now.  I can't take anything with a stimulant in it, so Belviq was really the only option for me.

I lost 5 pounds in first week and then nothing the next.  Was starting to get discouraged and then it started to work.  I have fewer cravings and do feel full sooner.  I've lost about 13 pounds and can see the difference in my legs and abdomen.

Primary side effects for me (some of which might have been caused by increase in Metformin at same time) were slight headache in first week (went away), mild diarrhea in first week (also went away), dry mouth/eyes (already had an issue but got worse) and very tired in evenings (falling asleep at 9:30 instead of 11:30) and in mornings (but ok during day)."


"I used the gel once, as prescribed and broke out in to a rash  all over my body. The rash is called Erythema multiforme. I  was covered in bright red,raised welts and hives for close to two weeks. The experience was itchy, uncomfortable and over all unpleasant.
My Dr. said to stop using the gel but the most frustrating part was there was nothing anyone can do. It simply needed to "run it's course!"
Use at your own risk!"


"I would get a urinary tract infection when I had sex.  To control the situation my doctor prescribed SMZ-TMP DS.  I took one or 2 a day for years.  As long as I took the pills I was not bothered with a UTI.  Miss a day or 2, and UTI.  Worked wonderful. "


"Been on it for 2 and a half years. It's great. Side effects none. Recommend it. I Love it."


"My doctor gave this dose pack have chronic bronchitis it help very little went to doctor again gave me the same thing I had this bronchitis for a month it's a little better but not gone now call doctor again third time got a office tomorrow this dose pack is junk send it back to India"


"After reading other reviews, I can't believe I haven't switched my birth control method. I have the same symptoms as follow (weight gain, so moody, I have never been so moody, increase vaginal discharge, constant headache, my fiance and I definitely feel the ring during intercourse). On the other hand, pros for the Nuvaring are (lighter and shorter periods, choosing when I start)."


"I promised I would write a review if it worked to ease the minds of those going through what I did. I had unprotected sex on the seventh day of my cycle, January 15 (2 days after my period ended, 2 days before I was supposed to be fertile, and a week before my predicted ovulation day). He claimed to have pulled out in time but I was paranoid so I took the pill 34 hours later. Four days later I had already experienced being bloated, having headaches, and feeling nauseated, not finishing my favorite foods. A week after I began spotting enough to fill half a panty liner, this lasted three days. The 25, I had been nauseous and vomited twice. My breast were also very tender for about three days. I became extremely emotional five days before my period due date, I would not stop crying and I was crying for no reason. I became really dizzy when I would stand up after being in bed for a few minutes. These may sound bad, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Especially since I got my period the day it was due."


"I have had Skyla for a month now. Personal experience is that I have random period-like cramps that only last a few minutes or so and occasional spotting but nothing too serious. Period has always been regular like clockwork. I got Skyla inserted while menstruating. Next period came right on time and my normal 4 days but was so light I didn't even have to wear a tampon, just a thin pantyliner. Had some pretty ridiculous mood swings for the first week or two while adjusting to the hormones but it seems to have leveled out now. Recently, dry skin on my face and my boobs are fuller and ache sometimes because of it I guess. Sex drive through the roof. Hope this helps balance out the horror story reviews! Minor side effects but worth it overall."


"I have been taking this birth control for a few years now and have never had any issues with it other than my body getting used to it during the first month. I have mild cramps on my period, and my period usually only lasts about 2-3 days.. and it is also very light. I don't use tampons or pads on my period, only a panty liner is necessary. I gained no weight, had no mood swings, or any other side effects birth control normally gives. This has been the only birth control I've ever taken, and I will continue to take it. My only issue with it is that I pay about 23 dollars a month for it (after insurance covers part of it), and I'd like it to be cheaper as many of my friends have."


"After suffering in a very serious way from chronic neck and back pain for about 5 years, I was giving up.  I had no major injury, but small "normal range" disc ruptures protruding in my C5 and C7  with other old back injuries.  Fibromyalgia/Neuralgia.  I've gone through multiple specialists, MRIs, physical therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists.  Some relief here and there, mostly with acupuncture and specific stretching.  Pain was horrible.  Finally after persistent research, I found what truly works for me:  Cymbalta (normal dose) with daily SAM-E and Malic Acid supplements.  It took about 2 months to fully work, but now I'm virtually PAIN FREE.  Cannot thank God enough for this."


"I didn't realize all the stress that I had been under. I'd actually experienced a panic attack for the first time at 23 while I was driving home from college.  I thought that I was going to die.  I was frightened by the entire experience.  I went to my doctor who prescribed me with the lowest dose of Xanax in addition to 20mg Prozac.  About three months later my doctor decided to increase my Prozac to 30mg.  I haven't needed Xanax for months, but I keep it on me where ever I go.  Xanax is so fast acting.  It calms my nerves instantly."


"Received my first injection in my "worse" knee this morning...after initial pain of injection, within a few hours, there was noticeable relief of pain, so much so that climbing stairs was a breeze - for that leg, anyway.  Can't wait to finish the cycle (total of 3 injections) and then have the "better" knee treated, too."


"I had a very bad expirence with Depo. I was on it for 6 months and bled for 6 months straight! What a nightmare! It also caused painful sex. I had terrible mood swings, and also gained weight. The only good thing about depo is you dont have to worry about taking it every day or month!"


"Been using for 2 years.  Overall, it does what it's supposed to. At 52 I was just feeling out of it.  Tired all the time, loss of energy, spare tyre weight gain, and some erectile dysfunction.  Tested at 278.  Started with shots, and AndroGel combined, then just AndroGel for the last year.  The shots were far more effective, and cheaper, but my T levels would go way up then way down before the next shot.  The gel keeps it steady.  I have lost a lot of waist line, don't need naps anymore, and sex life is back to what it was in my 30s."


"I can't say enough positive about this medicine. It's the type of medicine that saves marriages. With that said I got the rare side effect of pulmonary embolism. I am now on blood thinners to counteract this because I function so well on this medicine. "


"Celexa seems to be effective and works ok.  It picks me up in the morning and helps a little.  The effect lessens over time when I continued to take it.  I take Effexor on the side of that and it really works.  It's not powerful, it's mild but does lessen depression.  Not the best."


"On rare occasions when it put me to sleep it gave me a steady stream of mini, vivid nightmares that had me awaken to a  depression.  Sometimes I'd have the steady, mini vivid dreams lucidly, always conscious and knowing what side I was lying on, and then drag through the next day exhausted.  But most of the time no sleep nor vivid dreams; nada.  But the worst thing about Belsomra is its constellation of side effects: stiff muscle tone with unexpected contractions and coordination problems, crazy-bad depression, irritability, confusion and memory problems.  Beware."


"I got the generic, of Mucenix DM. It has definitely cut down the congestion and the coughing which is great, but its made me extremely jittery. I hope this feeling wears off soon."


"I got this in July. I started my regular period when I got it inserted and my period escalated to soaking through a pad every 10 minutes. I took birth control pills to fix this. I bled for 2 months straight like a normal period. Now I always am spotting, some days heavy flow. I usually always feel crampy now. I gained 10 pounds within two weeks of having this, all in my stomach. I always have migraines. I get more pimples and am ALWAYS tired. I randomly get sad and angry for no reason.  Also my sex drive has been slowly but surely diminishing. I am keeping it only because it's keeping me baby free."


"5 years ago, after a pedicure gone wrong, i had one infected big toenail on my left foot.  I tried various topical antifungul products, vics vapor rub, Lamisil oral for over a year on and off, various essential oil blends, vinegar soaks and the list goes on and on.....  My nail practically turned black at one point!  I finally tried laser treatments (four) w/ some minor success.  My podiatrist said I may as well try Jublia.  While it has a pretty low success rate (i think like 17 or 18%?) my insurance covered it completely (8 mL bottle).  Almost instantly i was noticing positive results.  After about 6 months, my nail is pretty much clear!  I am on the third bottle (this one cost $35, but the first two were totally free). Thankful it worked"


"This drug has caused edema in the lower legs since I have been using it, very painful when I put a finger for pressure on my skin from the knees down to the feet. I am considering going off this medication."


"I have been taking Lamictal for the last 2 years, its amazing and life changing! Very little side effects, besides weight gain for a lack of words, losing weight seems to be impossible for me, and I workout 5 days a week, so for that reason, I'm looking to see what else is out there.
If by chance you are reading this and looking for something to help, this is IT! Really!"


"This medicine works extremely well!  I tried quitting multiple times in the past.  The key to quitting is to really want to in the first place.  I was just feeling run down smoking and it became harder to do with the restrictions at my workplace.  So I told myself this is it - I either do this and stick with it, or I might as well just smoke for the rest of my life.  I've been on Champix for 10 weeks.  I only cheated once earlier on - bummed one of my wife's cigarettes - so not worth it.  Remember if you do cheat, you're just re-introducing nicotine into your system and having to withdrawal all over again.  NOTE:  If you have high blood pressure - DO NOT take Champix.  My wife took it and had high BP and her BP rose to unsafe level."


"Mixed 10 mg first night with Seroquel and l
Lyrica slept but felt sedated next day and groggy."


"I recently switched from Atenolol to Lisinopril and I feel much better.  No more dizziness and my BP is great 120/78.  The only thing is that after a few weeks I developed a dry cough.  It's just been a few days but I might contact my doctor about it soon.  I thought it was allergies but now I think it's the lisinopril."


"It works like a charm. Thank you doxycycline."


"As you see I gave the effectiveness a 10 (I didn't get pregnant anytime)! I had regular periods (4-5 days and no irregular bleeding) and no mood swings, however I did always feel a lot hungrier but I didn't gain any weight and I would experience very frequent terrible headaches. Other than that I would recommend this pill plus everyone is different so just because I had headaches don't mean you will."


"I've just started using Levemir Flextouch.  I only use it at bedtime.  Morning. sugars are 278 or higher.  I'm up to 60 units so I'm concerned."


"I got this birth control in November 2014. I definitely DON'T recommend it! yeah, it stops you from becoming pregnant, but it made me have bad mood swings, worse depression than I already had, my stomach is always hurting and I've been on my period for a rind 2 months now. I would stop for a day and it will start back up the next. I've gained 20 pounds since I got it! I have NO energy ever! and b12 don't help neither. oh and I'm never happy. I can't get myself to be happy unless I'm with my daughter and sometimes the small things she does makes me have another mood swing. I just don't recommend this!"


"I have been on Arimidez for a little over 4 months.  Other than a little bit of hot flashes I have had no side effects at all."


"Its been a life saver for me. I have lost 61 pds since I started using Invokana. I love it. I just wish it was more affordable. I am almost at my goal weight. I look and feel great."


"I tried to take beyaz again which was the only birthcontrol I liked ever. My insurance refuses to cover it, so I figured a yaz generic would be similiar enough. I FIRMLY BELIEVE WHATS IN THIS GENERIC IS NOT AT ALL THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL. How could the same exact medicine affect me so negatively. I took this for two weeks and felt like I was physically having a panic attack all the time. I got this to help me during my hardest time of period. (right before I get it) and spent these past two weeks losing my mind. I do not even believe the positive reviews on this site are legitimate. I was tired, hungry, nauseous and  unable to do my daily tasks. No sex drive. I tried taking it at night to combat these negative things. No escape. Don't take it"


"Love this. Cleared my skin up, made my period so light and my cramps disappear. I was a bit moody for the first month, but that went away."


"I have been taking Armour Thryroid 60 mg/day for about 9 months and some of my symptoms of Hypothyroidism improved, however my (Jan 2012) lab tests suggested I was still low.  My doctor doubled the dose to 120 mg/day.  In the past, I occasionally noticed some small pimples in the area of my lower lip and chin but after two weeks on the higher dose, I started "blooming" all over my face and neck. I looked like I was suffering from a case of measles or severe acne. My doctor advised me to immediately stop the Armour.  I have read a number if reports of people experiencing the same or similar allergic reaction to the changed Armour formula."


"I was in bed for a year with PHN pain from shingles. I am now taking Gabapentin and I now have my life back.  It is a wonderful drug."


"I just started Trinessa but so far it's been good I used to have really bad nausea before and during my period really bad cramps and my period was 7 days long and extra heavy. I started Trinessa the day I started my period and there was a change right from the start. The moodiness I encountered during my period was gone, my period was lighter, my cramps albeit the first day they were there they were significantly weaker. The only down side to this is before I started I had clear skin didn't get pimples or zits nothing but after I started this I got a couple pimples. Also after I take this pill it leaves an after taste in my mouth and it makes me a tad bit lightheaded right after taking it and I have to drink some juice."


"Works great with stimulants, but increases heart rate."


"This is good stuff. I can breath!"


"Omg I have been on Fexofenodine for over two years and for at least as long I thought my insomnia was perimenopausal but since I have ceased taking it my sleep has come back, call it coincidence but this has aged me and I will never fully be able to repair the damage it has done to me through lack of sleep. I will just use Loratadine in future no more bad nights for me."


"I had my implant for two years just had it removed couldn't take it anymore. It made me feel awful I constantly was buying tampons, liners, and pads all I done was bleed. I felt bloated all the time, and stayed tired all I wanted to do is sleep also was not sexually active at all, also horrible back pain and gained almost 40 pounds. But since I had it removed within a week and a half lost 8 pounds and feel way better not tired at all and sexually active again I wouldn't recommend this for anyone...."


"Started this drug ten days ago for OAB Syndrome . Now have urine retention grrr"


"I have been on Victoza for 2 weeks now and lost 4 lbs, the nausea was slight but I took the injection at night which helped. The needles feel like a mosquito bite!!

Cant wait to see how much more I lose, and my sugars are much better levels,,"


"I am 49 yrs old, had cystic acne all my adult life. My dermatologist put me on Acanya 5 months ago and my skin looks the best it ever had.  My co-workers all think I am wearing makeup.  Have such large pores and they are shrinking too. No peeling, I guess because I have oily skin.  But as an African American woman, I didn't think I would ever find anything that would successfully help my skin. I am so grateful.  It just takes patience!"


"Zanaflex was working well for my lower back which has been an issue since a car accident in Oct of 2013. This has progressed to a point where I am waiting for an M.R.I.  During the last 3 months I have been dealing with spasms in my left leg that went from annoying and limiting my ability to move around slightly to full blown, unbelievably painful leg spasms.  The medication is no longer working.   I am going to call my doctor on Monday and ask about Soma since it seems to have a much better score when it comes to stopping spasms."


"I was recently put on Wellbutrin by the College's psychiatrist.  I just started it yesterday and I feel great.  The things that I used to dwell are not on my mind.  I woke up early this morning for work, and I never do that.  I smiled today and I feel like having new adventures and not concentrating on things that make me upset.  I am sure there will be better days to come and I am so excited."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I was diagnosed with severe headaches at the age of three. My doctors concluded I was born with severe headaches and was finally able to explain my pain at age three. I have been taking Midrin since 1988 and I thank my doctor for prescribing it. Every time a new Headache medicine came out I tried it, none of them did anything to relieve my pain ever. Yes, narcotic medicines help to lessen the pain until the pain ceases. Midrin is the only medicine I have ever taken that actually repairs the problem. I take 2 Midrin and a Flexeril at the onset, or as soon as I can and one Midrin every hour to a maximum of 5 in a 24 hour period until the I feel relief coming on. Midrin has never failed me, ever."


"After suffering most of my life from all the issues related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gas, diarrhea, chronic constipation, I have finally found I have a normal life with little or no gas, no more constipation, and rare loose stools.  But for anyone who has ever suffered from constipation, having loose stools is a welcome trade off.  Thank you Linzess."


"I have used this since the first tests for its use in treating bipolar and it has worked and never lost its ability to help stabilize my moods (I have tried other medicines with significantly less success)."


"Took this medication to aid in an effort to stop smoking. Stopped taking it after 4 days due to excessive side effects; headache, nausea, insomnia, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, constipation, indigestion."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin for about 2 months. The first month I was on it my period was for like 8 days. It was light, though haven't gotten it yet this month. I really like it so far feel better not so crappy all the time. I would recommend this to everyone."


"Great for my son, the only thing that really helps."


"I have been taking this for a year now and I think it's wonderful. I haven't had a cyst rupture since I've been on it. I've had four ovarian cysts rupture and I'm only 18, they started when I was 14. I have been on 5 different birth controls and this is by far the best."


"I've been using Lumigan for about 12 years. Of all the different drops out there (and I've tried them all), Lumigan is the most effective at reducing my IOP. I also currently use Alphagan and Timoptic. Side effects, for me, include some redness and dryness of the eyes, darkening of the skin around the eyes, and longer eyelashes. My eyes were quite dark to begin with so I can't comment on the darkening of the iris Lumigan and other drops in its class are known for."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I took it as instructed, drank even more water than prescribed and it did not work well.  Nothing happened after 1st packet and had some BM after second, but it did not clean me out enough according to my dr.  Loved the taste and small amount to drink."


"I had sex the day before my period and the condom broke. We immediately went to purchase the emergency contraception. The next day I went to Planned Parenthood to see if I should also purchase Ella. The doctor told me since I was a little above the weight for Plan B, I should take Ella also as a backup. The symptoms I received was Nausea, Fatigue, Excruciating Headaches.. And about a week or so after taking the pills, I received a horrible case of a yeast infection. Causing me to go running back to Planned Parenthood to get a prescription for Yet another pill. 3 weeks after taking Plan B, my cycle had finally came (4 days earlier than usual) and it was extremely light. The next week (today), to be safe, I took 2 ClearBlue Plus pregnancy test and they were both Negative!!!!!!!"


"I have been taking Paxil for over 1 year. I tried Prozac, did not like it, made me feel out of control. I tried Celexa still felt depression. I take 20 mg of Paxil every night before bedtime since I feel this medicine makes me sleepy and relaxed. I usually sleep very good. I don't have that weird feeling of anxiety anymore. I feel relaxed and can see life in a realistic prospective. My mood is good not bad or great but okay. I cry only a few times a month specially during my PMS time, so I really think this is good medicine for me. I can go on everyday with little negative thoughts and usually can block them out and change my thoughts. So yes I like it, I do feel a bit numb at times so I will seek doctor's advice, but overall it is has been a great experience."


"I used alesse for a few months and had a lot of trouble with it. I was extremely moody, depressed and felt like a completely different person. Even my mother noticed a huge change. I was crying all the time and overwhelmed. When I told my doctor he took me off alesse and started me on Tri-Cyclen Lo. I noticed a change immediately and I am still using Tri-Cyclen. It's easy to blame mood swings and being upset on other parts of your life, but for me it was ongoing and I knew it wasnt normal for me. Glad I got off of it when I did!"


"I have been taking TriPrevifem for about 7 months now and no complaints whatsoever. After the second month of taking Tri-Previfem my period has definitely done a 360* and regulates monthly now. I haven't felt on edge and I have lost weight as well as going down a cup size on my breasts. It's a great pill, but know the tablet can vary in side effects depending what your body can handle. FYI: definitely research on your own as well as talking with your primary doctor!"


"Nuvaring was great----while it was in! Once it was time to take it out, I had the most unbelievably horrible period I've ever had! Bad enough that I almost asked my husband to take me to the hospital. I was in excrutiating pain for 2 days, and very uncomfortable for an additional 2 (which is weird because my period is normally 2 days long)."


"Five years ago I went to the Doctor complaining of chest pains.  She said it was GERD.  I believed her, since I often overeat - and at night.  "Take one Prilosec a day."  So I did.  For a year I was fine - then it started not to work.  I went to the Doctor.  "Take two a day."

That set off an internal alarm.  What would she say next year?  So I read up on PPI's and said to myself, "No."  I experimented with the 'dines' and Ranitidine is by far the best for me. I don't take it everyday, often substituting Tums or Mylanta or whatever.  I try not to eat too much, try not to eat after 5PM.  If I'm going to a restaurant for dinner, I take a Ranitidine ten minutes or so before I eat.  "


"Ativan is great for anxiety flare-ups; especially when breathing or alternative methods won't cut it. However, certain manufacturers make their pills slightly differently and some seem to be more sedating and then I feel out of it. I wish there wasn't a price war for the least expensive medication so the pharmacy would stick to one brand. Even the generic isn't working to control my anxiety right now. When my pharmacy carries the right brand, it works perfectly for those fear and flee moments that I can't get under control."


"This medicine works great as a rescue drug although the delivery system is difficult to use."


"I've had vertigo for three years now due to a head injury.  This cause inner ear damage and I have chronic dizzy spells.  I have tried every medication out there and was introduce to Xanax at a Urgent Care Clinic.  BINGO!  Finally, I found something that works.  It also the only medication that helps me sleep.  I don't know what I'd do without it.  Addicting but at least I can make it better with Xanax."


"Once you start pristiq you're on it for the rest of your life, and what's worst, you need to up your dose every year. It's a nightmare. You can never quit it, not even gradually. Withdrawal or refusal to increase your dose will destroy you. Avoid it."


"Excess fluid was aspirated from my knee prior to SynViscOne injection.  My doctor informed me that numbing was not recommended.  Aspiration and injection were not very painful at all - just the initial "pinch."  Swelling was minimal but pain lasted almost a week.  10 days into it, knee is feeling much better.  I would do this again."


"I woke up with the worst pain last night and my mom told me to take Bactrim and it worked with in 15 minutes.  I have had many problems with my kidneys and taking this makes me feel great."


"To make a long story short. I was exalted with this weight loss journey on my own. After being fed up and knowing that I was in the season of Fall with Thanksgiving 3 weeks away, I needed a solution. Therefore, I took it upon myself on 11/04/14 at my appointment with my Endocrinologist to request a pharmaceutical pill that would aide my weight loss and BMI of 40. He gave me two options and I went with Qsymia. Thank God it was a free two week trial! Four days later, I can say I am 10 lbs lighter. Ladies and gentlemen, please do understand results may vary."


"Too many side effects leg cramps, going to the bathroom all the time, tired. Just didn't feel right. Worked great on my blood pressure 181/101 down to 135/65 but going to try something different."


"I have been on it for 3 months now. No breakthrough bleeding at all. Short light period. Have had a few more headaches but nothing Advil won't take care of. Great results with this pill. A lot less moody than with other pills."


"This birth control is the best. No weight gain it makes my breasts a lot fuller and no bad side effects. I would recommend it to everyone out there. Just make sure you eat right when you are on it, meaning healthy and plenty of fluids."


"I am now in my third month of using Minastrin 24 Fe, the first time I've been on the pill in four years. Aside from a random day in the first month that I was extremely emotional and two weeks out of month two when I spotted constantly, I haven't had any other noticeable side effects. My weight has been constant and my mood the same. I don't have any real complaints other than the adjustment period being pretty awful."


"Love it after the first week. 5mg a day. Lots of energy and losing weight. No more racing heart. Much more relaxed at work and home. Not for everyone but helped me."


"This product seemed to work for my nasal congestion but it made me EXTREMELY sleepy. I have never experienced drowsiness with Sudafed or its generic. I took one 30mg Nexafed pill at 8 pm and I actually had to take 2.5 hours off of work in the morning because I could not function! I didn't feel myself again until 10 am. I suppose if I took the medication very early in the evening, I might be able to wake up in the morning. But having young children, I must be present for nighttime routines and I can never guarantee that my sleep will not be interrupted. For now, Nexafed simply will not work for me. I will be returning it to the pharmacy and will have to find a new pharmacy to shop from as my mine is currently only carrying this new product."


"Topamax helps tremendously with mixed bipolar and rapid cycling. However I was an athlete at the time, rode cycling and a psychiatric nurse, I went from 120 to 105.  This was not a bad experience for me.

My manager illegally pulled me in her office and told me, granted she is not even an RN and told me I had anorexia and an eating disorder and illegally
discriminated against me to stop me from working with eating disordered patients.

My doctor even told her I was normal and healthy, just solid muscle.

PS. Have you ever seen a serious road cyclist have an ounce of fat on them?

"Well I have seen my husband going down and down further this past year after our second child, we needed a change before our marriage was over. He was taking Percocet 30mg 4-5 a day. Suboxone has helped so much. Just after a month he is back in our lives."


"I took Tamiflu within 7 hours of developing a fever.  I had full flu symptoms including headache, body aches, chills, fever even while on ibuprofen.  About two hours after taken first dose of tamiflu Fever broke and body aches subsided... I went from feeling like I would die to just a bit fatigued.  I had absolutely no issue with nasaeau- but I was having nausea due to fever before taking tamiflu.  Miracle drug!"


"First dose was early afternoon, 2nd dose was at 7pm. Dosage is 1-100mg tablet after a meal 3 times a day for 2 days. Woke from a bad dream. Have tried to go back to sleep several times but dream reoccurs."


"Thought this med was my answer! I have severe allergies which I am congested all day and makes it hard to sleep at night . This med cleared me up and  helped me sleep at night But by the 2nd refill I became irritable, emotional  and so moody ! I snapped at people and started having freaky dreams! I took myself off of it even thought it worked for the allergies it wasn't worth it! When I saw my doc and told her she shook her head and said "that's odd I never heard of it doing that "but what I read here validates my experiences! Still can't find Anything that works the way it it did for my allergies!"
