"I was addicted to pain pills (any kind that I could get high off of) for a few years. I finally took the huge step of getting on methadone. It was the best thing I could have done. Methadone saved my life - if not for methadone I would have probably overdosed and might even be dead right now. Methadone gave my parents back there daughter. Its not for everyone though so if you are not serious about getting clean don't waste the clinics time because it could be spent helping people who really do want to change there life."


"I have had anxiety for approximately 30 years and have been on Paxil for about 10. What a difference it has made in my life. I would recommend this medicine to anyone who is suffering from Anxiety. I also suffer from panic disorder and just carrying Xanax with me has helped alleviate my attacks.  Only have to take it once in awhile now....Also...working out more has really helped with stress and a great preventative and with a little of the weight gain from Paxil. Take care."


"In about five days I started feeling like a cloud lifted and clear thinking rolled in. I'm very happy with the Aptiom (800mg is my dose). So glad I have it. Wish the ACA insurance paid more, as I'm paying $622/ 90 day supply. Otherwise, it's very effective."


"The medicine is a life saver that increases ones quality of life immeasurably."


"I have suffered back, knee and foot pain for years after two failed back surgeries. Finally given Butran patches and the relief was terrific. Here is the problem that led to me having to stop the treatment. The release of the medication in the patch is accelerated by heat and perspiration and I was overdosing myself by being to active. Even the sun on my shirt caused an overdose."


"I was on enalapril for 2 months, the coughing was terrible. The doctor changed it to losartan potassium. The cough got a little better but I am experiencing headaches everyday. It works well for my blood pressure. I am taking 25mg once a day. I am going to ask the doctor to change it if the headaches don't go away."


"Male 66 who has been on this drug for 10 years.  Without it my life as I know it would be gone!  Took about 3/4 months to fully work and change my blood chem. back to normal as it was WAY out.  dsDNA rate last check was down to 70.  Now I travel the world in remote areas, walk more than 5 miles in the jungle heat and feel like my old self (well as much as I can being another decade older) ;-)"


"Was on lexapro 20mg one a day for year thought I would try something different  Dr said try Zoloft 50 mg a day OMG what a mistake. First week bad dreams, rash, itchy, dizziness no sex drive etc. terrible not for me going back on lexapro."


"I've been taking orthocyclen for about 2-3 years now, and I pretty much gained like 20 pounds. I gained about 10 pounds the first time I took it. And I decided to get off of it for awhile, then I went back on it and gained 10 more pounds. I've pretty much been eating the same since even before I got on birth control. I feel like that's the only problem I have... Gaining weight. I'm currently 150 pounds now. Before I started taking birth control, I would NOT get my period every month, but since I started taking it, I've been getting them every month. I'm gonna stop taking these pills because my doctor recommended taking Lutera instead for a female my age (17)."


"I am a 32 year old man, and for more than 17 years I have battled depression.  Had been living with depression so long that I could recognize the beginning symptom and would try to mentally prepare myself for the storm that was sure to follow.  After being hospitalized, I eventually found myself before a Psych. Doctor. I was afraid and kind of ashamed. Depression set in again.  TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT:  I have been taking Celexa for 4 days now, and I'm all smiles.  I still experience all my emotions, but life finally feels bearable and not as heavy.  Thank you Celexa!"


"I started to take terbinafine for toenail fungus and finger nail fungus, I had it in both big toe nails and thumb nails around the sides. I had to have a liver function test first to check I was able to take it.
I took it for about 3-4 months can't remember exactly now! I have now been finished from the course for 4 months. My thumb nails are nearly grown back clear! And my toe nails are slightly behind but are doing well, there are no signs of the nail fungal still growing, just the nail needs to replace its self clear now. So all in all I have had good results from it, I had no side affects from the tablets, although I was advised not to drink alcohol whilst taking them, which I didn't. So good results! Don't be scared to take it!"


"For my bipolar 1 I have been on Invega 156mg since July now it's November and I have minimal side effect including prolactin high and some tremor once a day... Zero symptoms of mania and psychosis ... No weight gain which is why a its a ten...overall a good med sleep good .... No anxiety"


"I am a 46 yo male.  Memory and tiredness, slight depression.  Diagnosed with low testosterone (222 on a scale of 200-800).  Have used both Testim and Androgel.  Like the way Androgel comes in a pump bottle and is not as sticky as Testim, but my wife and other women have commented that they like the smell of testim.  I now use testim, applying one tube every other day because my wife says I'm more like myself at that dosage.  Had an initial drop of testosterone to 201 when first started treatmant, but testosterone now at 547 at last lab.  I feel much better."


"I got Nexplanon about 6 weeks after I had my son in May 2013 and I've had a mostly positive experience with it. For the first couple of months, I had no period. The next few months, a very light period which is great because before getting pregnant, my period was pretty heavy. Then last month my period was about a week long, and VERY heavy. I haven't had any other side effects at all. No moodiness, a little bit of weight gain but I think that's because I stopped breastfeeding, no headaches, and no acne. I love not having to worry about birth control. This thing is great."


"Been in Pain Management for 8 years.  Until 2 weeks ago I was taking 120 mg Methadone along with 5 X 30mg Oxycodone a day.  I have Spinal Stenosis, DDD, DJD,, Post Lamenectomy Syndrome, Osteoarthritis in knee, spine and shoulder.  I missed a pill count and was discharged.  2 Weeks later I finally got into another pain management clinic and he puts me on 4 Endocet 10/325 a day. Nothing in comparison to what I was on but it was my first visit..so I wait.  My first day on it and it already makes my stomach upset but it was worth it to get anything."


"My poor son had a case of bronchitis and would cough until he actually threw up.  Off to the Doctor we went and when I saw what the Doctor gave him, I knew he would be better soon.  As I had taken it when I was younger and remembered how well it worked. "


"I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis about two years ago.All other medication failed so this was my last chance before an operation.The Humira has so far worked wonders although I have only been on it for about 6 weeks.
The injection was so easy to administer and for me the company delivers the pre loaded pen to my home.
Please don't be put off by the thought of injectin yougrself it couldn't be easier."


"lupron is not for everyone! I must admit I was horrified to try it, but it came a point I would rather die so had nothing to lose. In 2011 and 2012 both 9 months each. Then after treatment was birth control ( levora) high dose. Now 2015 just started having severe pain uncontrolled by anything else so started Lipton injection yesterday. This med made me forget I had the disease. I'm not saying there could be long term issues or anything else. But right now in this moment I'm not sick and every time before it was a god send. Hopeful this time will be as smooth as last couple times. Good luck."


"AMAZING.....after 1 week I could sleep, all panic attacks, seating, fear of dying, heart racing stopped. Have never been better."


"I had a sudden outbreak of what the derm called adult acne. It came back after it was almost better two weeks later and I went to the Dr. He prescribed Ziana which I use at night and my face not only got 100% better with 0 blemishes but it has not broken out again since. It does make me wake up Very oily, but once I wash my face and apply makeup I don't have that issue throughout the day. I didn't experience any redness or drying. Great product for me!"


"The symptoms were improved, but not to the extent mentioned by other reviewers of this product. The gel was prescribed for use twice a day but at the end of each day had redness, itching, and scaling again."


"First Day - Contrave - I have been on Phen/Fen, Weight watchers 12 times, Jenny Craig, Fitness plans, nutrisystem...I was always fit but never seemed to control my weight after almost 40 years of trying.  I have been hypertensive since my 20's and on medicates like crestor, singulair, furesomide victoza and advair, all of which prevent weight loss.  Well after day one of Contrave I lost 2.5 lbs, makes me a little nervous, can feel it working but no side effects like vomiting or seizures.  Making sure to eat with the dose and drink lots of water.  I did notice less cravings for alchohol, I always have my after work cocktail, which I did not want.  Concerned about side affects but keeping it up until I experience non-tolerable reaction."


"Used to take the stimulant alertec  for my narcolepsy to help me stay awake but a new doctor took me off it and put me on Seroquel in hopes it would help me sleep better which in turn would help me be more rested during the day it has been a godsend been on it for over a year  I take 50 mg after dinner sleep like a baby  before would wake up and then couldn't fall back to sleep for a long time now can fall back to sleep after  needing the toilet no problem"


"For the past 4 months I have been suffering from a skin condition on the palms of my hands.  It would start out like blisters, then they would dry up and my hand would crack and bleed.  My hands were so bad that I couldn't care for my newborn baby.  I had seen a doctor 4 times and he kept putting me on rapid steroid tapers, the condition would clear up but when I was done with the steroids, the condition came back worse.  I had about given up when another doctor took over.  She took pictures of my hands and sent them off to Phoenix.  There they correctly diagnosed the condition and recommended Clobetasol.  Upon using I noticed instant relief.  I am on day 4 and the psoriasis is almost gone.  I highly recommend Clobetasol!"


"I've been on Topamax for a month for basilar- type migraines which cause vertigo and headaches. Since being on 50mg of Topamax I've had 1 vertigo migraine attack when I had been getting them 5 days a week. This MEDICINE has made a huge difference for me. I also have noticed I have more energy and I'm just happier in general. I've lost some weight as well. I'm really happy I've found medication that works for me. I had some side effects like feeling out of it and tiredness for the first 2 weeks."


"I stopped copaxone due to bad reactions. I haven't eat red meat, milk, cheese, yogurt and white bread.  I only drink almond milk and try to eat heathy.  I am also taking vitamin d 5000 mg, cranberry pills 3600 mg, turmeric pills, fish oil, b12. I been heathy even without injections.  Also praying a lot "


"I finally feel like I'm balanced now that I have been taking Paxil. Life before Paxil was not life. I have suffered from anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder since I was 8. I didn't start Paxil until I was 34 because of a divorce, but it truly has cured me. I no longer feel anxious, depressed, and the racing thoughts have diminished. I feel normal and rational. I do get very sleepy though while on Paxil, and I have found exercise to help combat that side effect. I don't know how my life would've turned out if I had been on this medicine a long time ago. I owe my life to this medicine."


"Autumn depression"


"Had my third shot today; bi-lateral. I have to say I have seen a major improvement in both knees. I would wake up at night and go to turn over, my lower leg would not move and my upper leg (above the knee) would pop and grind on the joint. When this happens now I can feel the upper and lower joints cushioned by the Orthovisc. I felt relief about 3 weeks after the first set of shots.

I am confident that after the 3rd set of shots I will have the pain relief I am looking for.

I would recommend to anyone give this a try before you have total knee replacement."


"I sweat excessively and I thought drysol was my only option left and when I used it first I didn't sweat at all but then I had an allergic reaction to it and needed to stop immediately. Now I'm a bag of sweat. Great."


"I've been on pain medicines for 10 years now.  The first 8 years on the yellow name brand Percocets 240 10/325, the last 2 yrs on the generic version which is the Endocet E712-10/325.  I also take 60 Oxycontin 40mg a month.  The combination of the 2 has been a dream come true."


"I'm getting 1-3 inch welts at the injection sites that are very itchy and uncomfortable. Dr says men more often have trouble with arms and legs due to more muscle than women. No other side effects."


"Falling asleep can be a bit of a challenge when my back and legs are cramping. Feels like a broom stick is constantly pushing hard on lower left side of back. This pill said take immediately before bed. It takes about 70 minutes for me to shut down after taking it. Other pills give aching shoulder and joints this one does not and no grogginess either. I can sleep through at least 6 hours after use and I appreciate the development of one medicine that works for me as I have tried many and they do not work well or have negative side effects."


"Weight gain, no positive aspects for me."


"I have been taking Bactrim for sinusitis around a week. I have developed painful sores on my tongue that are not visible to the eye. My mouth itches and burns terribly. It worked for my underlining condition but this side effect is unbearable."


"I have been taking ambien CR for about 3 years for insomnia and shift worker sleep disorder. My doctor recommended to try Belsomra 10mg. This medication did not work at all for me. I slept less than 2 hrs after taking it. I did not experience any side effects or feelings of sleepiness. The co-pay for this medication is $45 a month which is ridiculous. I will stick with the ambien for now."


"I started contrave 4 weeks ago and watched my diet and exercise daily. I've only lost 3lbs, should I continue or try something else. I don't know what to do. I should mention I have not had any major side effects."


"I have tried 5 different birth control pills and Kariva has been a lifesaver. I had cysts in my ovary and Kariva shrunk it and now it is gone! I have been on Kariva for 12 months and my skin is porcelain-like, no pimples, lost a few pounds (I've been going to the gym, so it might not even be the birth control), and my mood stayed consistent. I'm switching to either the patch or the ring this month though because my sex drive has been awful for the past 4-5 months, and it's driving me (and my boyfriend) crazy!
Zero sex drive and dryness are my only complaints."


"My boyfriend has Stage IV Adenocarcinoma mets to lymph nodes and chest bones.  Within 2 months of starting Tarceva (started with 150 mg, reduced to 100 mg) his scans showed 90% improvement!  It is incredible.  The only reason I do not give it a 10 rating is that one of the common side-effects is a very bad rash.  After 3 months, the rash has not subsided.  It looks like a cross between measles, poison ivy and bad acne.  It itches & burns too.  We have tried all kinds of treatments, OTC and prescription, and nothing seems to touch it."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"This medicine is a gift from God.  Not only am I undetectable and T-cells 1000 , but my body fat has dropped 8%, my muscle mass has increased substantially, and I have grown 1 inch. I started at 400 T cells and 100k viral load.

"


"I am an 18 years old and I have been taking this medication since I was 14. It helps me alot with concentration in fact without it I don't know how I would have graduated high school. While taking Vvyanse I have experienced all of its side effects which includes low and high blood presure, nervousness, uncontrolable body movemnets, numbness of my left side of the body etc., mostly because some days I would take it and then didn't take it for like a week so your body would have to get used to it all over again. I just recently had a baby and now am back on it again since I plan on going to College. "


"I currently wear 50mcg/72 h patch.  Have been on this same dose for 1 year.  Prior year began with 100mcg, then 75mcg,  then 50mcg.  Last few months my left knee down to my foot swells ENORMOUSLY.   Went to E.R. couple months back and they weren't able to give me a definitive answer.   The only relief from this swelling is to take the patch off.  Problem in doing that is my pain comes back with a vengeance!  This patch literally changed my life for the better. Simple tasks use to be impossible.  Now I may have to give it up!  Anyone else with this issue?  Suggestions?"


"Not effective for me I think it's a placebo I experience severe headaches was really not effective for them"


"I have been using Cymbalta for the last 5 years I started at 30 for a month, then 60 mgr and finally 120mg because I was under treatment for Severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder where initially I started with Efexor XR 250mg  very bad medicine for people with high blood pressure (made me sweat like crazy and I have up\down mood issues and increased the feeling of hunger).
Then the doctor put on Paxil.. even worse
During last year I tried to leave Cymbalta for good, but it did not work, I started feeling very anxious, upset, very depressed and electrical shocks feeling in my head   nausea... I went back to my doctor and from 30 mg I went back to 60mg."


"After going on my 4th month of taking Gianvi, I had to stop taking this product completely. While this birth control pills does the job of preventing pregnancy and is very easy to take, it also had significant side effects that way surpassed the pros. I had terrible mood swings, deep depressing feelings over trivial situations, uncontrollable crying and a total loss of sex drive. At first I  thought it was just early menopause  ( at age 40) but after doing some research and experiment , I  realized that it was the bc pills."


"Worked great for first few times, but started to dissipate until it stopped working altogether"


"Recently diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. Achy stiff joints in fingers, toes, ankles, knees, and hips. Plaque psoriasis on elbows, knees, behind ears, and above eyes. After several medications, because insurance requires it, my Rhum gave me a couple choices including Otezla. I will do anything to stay away from immune suppressive drugs, I don't want to trade one problem for another and likely worse. Been using starter packs for a month with good improvement in plaque psoriasis and no noticeable difference in joint pain. Doc says 2-3 months to see full affect. Unfortunately, my insurance slammed the door on me and is refusing to pay for the drug, appeal was denied. They have no problem paying for immune suppressive drugs because they are cheaper."


"I have been using implanon, now nexplanon for 5 years now. (3 years each) this is my second insertion after my first was expired. Since then I haven't had my period in ages. However, my appetite had taken full control and weight gain came along. Sex drive has slowed down and mood swings here and there. So yeah things u will have to work on. Still..no pregnancy at all and no periods. Its like an extended vacation from mother nature"


"39 year old male. I have had a lot of problems with having bowl movements for the last year. Recently I went for two weeks with no bowl movement at all and the doctor wrote me a script for polyethylene glycol. I have been taking it for almost two weeks and I have no gas or diarrhea. I am now going to the restroom two to three times a day, what a difference this has made. I used to feel sleepy and run down all the time and having no energy. I'm sure that it was all the toxins building up in my system, after a week I am feeling much better and I have a lot more energy and I'm doing more than I have in a long time. I wish my doctor would have told me about this a long time ago. If you have tried everything else don't give up, give this a try."


"I started suffering from hair loss just recently. My doctor prescribed me this medicine. After 1 month of using it, my hair doesn't fall any more. Until now I continue using it and there's no other side effects. This medicine is so amazing!"


"My Dr. prescribed Bontril one week ago and have lost 5 pounds. The only side effect was insomnia for 2 days. I usually walk 15-20 mins and when I eat I get full really fast, this is what I needed."


"I've suffered with depression, anxiety and panic along with various health problems. I have tried just about most medicines that claim to help with these problems. Nothing, until I tried Klonopin and it just changed so much about me. Although I will say in the beginning I felt very cheery and super friendly. Though that particular feeling has decreased it still controls my anxiety. And no side effects, only thing is that it doesn't help with sleep so I take a Seroquel instead at night.It also helps keep me calm when worrying over my bad health conditions. Found deep belly breathing can help while in the midst of a panic. I plan on staying on it. Take care."


"I was a smoker for 17 years... I quit when I was pregnant with my two children, however I couldn't quit entirely.  I started Chantix when I knew it was time. I used it the first week as directed, and as the second week came and went, I realized I was forgetting to take the medication. I was also not smoking. So, I only used the medicine for two weeks. Last month was my 5 year anniversary of non-smoking. I love it!"


"Didn't help at all, it did give me terrible heart burn though."


"My brother told me about how it helped him and it sounded just the ticket. Been on it for about 6 months and I no longer get furious in a nano second. Much better for me and the kids"


"I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. I was taking lamotrigine for 4 years and it wasn't having much of an effect. I asked if there was anything else, I was given Keppra. I felt an almost instant change. I had no more funny feelings in my head, no twitching in the mornings. I felt much safer and that lead to me being much happier. I can stay out later. I've had no seizures since taking this and. I recommend it."


"I found out I had an under active thyroid about 2 years ago and as a college student I found it so hard to focus in class. My doctor placed me on Synthroid and I took it for about 6 months. I had severe headaches, depression, weight gain with no weight loss in sight, and feeling tired and horrible. I went to my obgyn for a yearly check up and he checked my thyroid and now I'm taking Armour. I love this medicine. All the headaches, loss of focus, and the weight gained again is gone! I take it the same time everyday and this pill works for me!"


"Been on Clonaz for 4 years, on and off. I take 2 mgs as needed. I've had panic/anxiety attacks since I was a child. It wasn't until I got older that I realized what they were. I worry all the time. I can't fly with out this drug. When my anxiety prevents me from sleeping and I have racing thoughts and weird feelings of dread, I take it. 1 or 2 times a week. It's a miracle drug. My anxiety goes from 10/10, the worst I can imagine anyone experiencing anxiety, complete freakout panic with no way out, too bliss, where everything feels peaceful and nothing worries me and life is great. Miracle drug. Although, its extremely scary when I feel I need to take it, and I have to pace around and keep calm until it kicks in 45 minutes later."


"I've been on 1mg of Xanax-1 tablet 4 times a day along with 20mg of Prozac. I have severe panic disorder. I've been on this dose for many years and have not experienced any "tolerance" issues. Xanax get's a bad rap because many people abuse it or go above the Dr's prescribed dose. See your Dr. if this isn't working for you. Don't take more than what you're prescribed. Everybody breaks down medications differently."


"I went on topiramate January 2012 for migraines with positive results. By the end of  2012 I had lost 85lbs, and 7 dress sizes. I had started out at 235lbs and ended up at 150lbs. My dose started out 25mg twice a day, then went up to 50 mg twice a day in two weeks, then was increased to 100mg, twice a day in 3months. At the end of my treatment, my dose was 300mg daily.  I had also lost the ability to form sentences, because I couldn't find words, and was constantly in a fog. That is not good if you're a nurse. Also my short term memory was non existent, also not good for an acute care medical nurse. By the time the side effects became so debilitating, I had to take a short leave of absence to sort out my situation because it affected my job performance. In the end, the medication was discontinued by my doctor and I gained 23lbs of the weight back. I'm not upset because now I have my short term memory back, plus I've returned to work and I'm migraine free.  I'm still better off because I'm still thinner than before I started with topiramate."


"I had my IUD inserted on Jan 21. Almost a month later, I started to bleed as if it were my period. It was very heavy. My periods normally last 5 days and taper off almost completely by day 7. Since February 15, I have been bleeding heavily. Soaking through tampons and pantiliners with no end in sight. It's now March 3 and I'm not sure how much longer I should let this go on before I see my doctor. They told me to expect bleeding but I'm afraid this isn't exactly what they meant."


"I took only a small amount, like 1/4 of a pill and within 15 minutes I was asleep. I did this for 3 nights, well this morning I woke up feeling fine. After a while I felt dizzy and was dizzy all day, felt horrible, chest was tight and I have asthma. So if you have asthma be careful, also gave me anxiety. My husband takes this and he does fine. "


"I'm 30 years old and have been smoking for about 14 years now. Two years in a row, I've had bronchitis or some kind of respiratory infection. I smoked Newports about a pack a day. It's my 2nd week on Chantix, and already I can feel less and less cravings. Usually I wake up and go right for a cigarette, and today I woke up and it took about 3 hours for me to realize I haven't smoked and just did it out of habit. When I'm working my 12 hours at the hospital, I can now go my full 12 without craving. That was never possible before! I'm only giving it an 8 because I hear for some people, side effects kick in bad around 3-4 weeks. I've been nauseas once but other than that, nothing. I really hope this is it for me! So far I'm feeling hopeful!!"


"Pristiq has helped me more than any other antidepressant I've taken in the past. I have experienced no such side effects with Pristiq.  50 ml of Pristiq wasn't helping much, but my dosage was increased to 100 ml and I'm feeling much, much better."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months and I really like it. The first month I had some breakthrough bleeding but that has gone away. Now I have no periods at all, which I don't mind. No weight gain or bloating. I have had some acne, but it is minimal. It is worth the $45/month I am paying."


"I first started taking Concerta about 2 years ago. I'm almost 13. It works okay but I have been losing my appetite far too much. I'm already really underweight and this drug makes it worse. I've also run into sleep paralysis once or twice."


"originally on seroxat (paxil) for 17 years. felt so good on 20mg that after having my child I thought I would come off it as thinking of having second baby. I was put on prozac to help with withdrawal.  after 4 months on prozac I was an absolute mess so Dr put me on effexor. I've been on this now for 6 months. I cry literally every day. it has created obsessional and horrible thoughts, I am constantly tired.  I have anxiety and panic. I feel it has actually created new symptoms that I never had. I do not like this drug and am coming off it as soon as I get an appointment with the psychiatrist"


"Got a big rash on my abdomen, that got increasingly painful and itchy. An allergic reaction to the medication (I wasn't taking anything else at the time)

This was a shame! Because the medication  had a substantial effect on my social anxiety. The first few days I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster, but then I started to really enjoy social interaction, I could understand why people talked to other people for fun!
Only ended up taking it for a little over a week, but wanted to share my experience incase anyone else is experiencing a rash."


"If you have an opiate addiction, this medicine is the way to go! I tried rehabs, meetings, everything! Suboxone is the only thing that kept me clean. It takes away the desire to use, which is a miracle. I have no regrets by choosing the Suboxone program. It saved my life."


"I have used Estrace samples for 6 months or so..... I ran out and went to buy another tube... 375.00!! And my insurance didn't cover any of it. (Costco was 325.00) I called my doctor and they gave me a coupon, but my insurance didn't work with it. So over priced... and my insurance just went up a 100 dollars a month... I just can't buy a medicine that is so over priced. I thought it would be 50 dollars or so...  there must be something else we can use? Also, the information I read said: estrogens may increase the chances of getting cancer of the uterus. Why would we want to take this? I've got to do more homework and find something better!!"


"I actually had zero problems with this medication. It made me sleepy but I did take it at night (when my headache first occurred). I also take a low dosage of Zoloft. Not sure if that helped curve side effects as the doctor did tell me it could cause SHORT TERM (1 hour)  heart attack symptoms/bubble in throat. I had hot flashes but I already have them so I can't say sumatriptan was to blame. My insurance paid for 9 tablets a month, I get 50mg oral."


"I started Mononessa to help control my period. It has been working great, and recommend this for a first time birth control user. It's very cheap and is super efficient."


"Almost instant relief of joint pain and inflammation on first injection, no reaction to needle. Great help from Cimzia Support. Still taking methotrexate weekly
injection twice a month, still have inflammation."


"I have been smoking for 15 years, and over the past 5 years, have smoked 30 cigarettes a day. I am on my 3rd day of Champix, and am around 20 cigarettes a day now. I have a strong addictive personality, but want to quit. I have side effects of bad dreams, waking up in sweat, Moody behavior, and  confusion. Minus the side effects, this has the best success rate for myself personally than any other quit smoking aid, I've tried and I've tried almost all. I was told to keep smoking on Champix up to 30 days. I figure if I can reduce as much as possible up to that point, I can be successful to quit."


"I was on Junel Fe for 2 years and only just switched to Lutera last week because I felt like my boobs were shrinking on Junel Fe (I'm going back on Junel Fe tomorrow!). Since then, I have felt like absolute CRAP! I used to be anorexic and now that I'm so bloated I feel like never eating again! I work out every day and my abs were so defined until I took my first pill. I do not recommend this birth control because it makes you blow up like a whale! If you don't mind that then there's nothing wrong with taking Lutera."


Nausea (phosphorated carbohydrate solution)

"The very first time I've seen this product, I was at my aunt's house who had passed away, but Anyhoo, I read what it's used for, didn't think much of it at first, left it alone, knowing that I do get easily nauseated due to stressful situations. And also too from eating something that my stomach doesn't agree with as well!! So when I did became nauseous during the funeral, I was looking for quick relief, so I remembered the emetrol she had in her medicine cabinet, I went to get it, plus it was brand new, so I took some, and I tell you it helped me so much.  This was back in August 2000! So from then on I buy this product just to gave it on those "Just In Case" Situations!!!! Everyone Should Have This Product!"


"I've had bv off and on for almost 2 years now. I would use cleocin gel when it would come back but I think my body just got immune to it so about two weeks ago I tried metro gel. It went away but did give me a yeast infection. I used monistat one day and boom the bv came back. So I'm trying the metro gel again but just for a longer period of time in hopes it does the job this time. Doesn't give me any side effects which is something I stressed before taking it."


"I've tried several different sleep medications for insomnia and while attempting to get used to the CPAP machine for sleep apnea. Ambien CR works great, I can get a full nights sleep, however go to bed within 1 hour of taking the medication or you will feel a bit drugged. I don't recommend taking every night, it is addictive (try not to take more than 3 nights in a row). It is more difficult to wean off from than regular Ambien. Overall, if needed this is a good medication if taken responsibly."


"Best drug ever. Trust me, I'm a doctor"


"I've had my Nexplanon for about 3 weeks no side effects by far, I'm waiting for my period to start to see how long it'll last. Other then that so far I love it. Only thing is the bruising is still here, but going away little by little."


"Fastin is an excellent dietary supplement for me. In the morning, right as I wake up, I take the little guy. The pill tastes like what I would imagine what baking soda would, but oh well, I am not sucking on it. It takes about 20-30 to give the first kick. That kick is the rush that says "I need to get moving or I need to get to the gym." The first time I took the pill I did get a little jittery and nauseous but once I started working out and drank water I started to feel fine. About an hour in I hit phase 2. Phase 2 is the spunk and mood booster. I feel awesome and amazing like I know what I am working for. Again, first day I felt a little dizzy and euphoric. Then there is phase 3 the come down. Drink water and eat a solid. I lost 100lbs."


"I took the 150mg and within 24 hrs I felt way better . Didn't have to use the creams or anything."


"I have been on fluoxetine 20mg for six months.  It took about 8 weeks to notice any positive mood changes.  After a few weeks of starting it I began to feel like I was living in a fog and had a difficult time concentrating but that eventually went away and turned into optimism and feeling great.   Please give it a couple of months to work.  It takes time to kick in.  After 8 weeks I felt good and happy for a while but recently have relapsed into anxiety and depression again.  My MD has now upped my dosage to 40mg.  I am hopeful I will get the happiness and optimism back again soon from the higher dose."


"Reduces sciatic pain down my legs very well. Also loosens up some of the stiffness. Not very effective for the pain in my lower back at the curve of the spine. Easy to use with no side effects for me except sometimes drowsiness."


"I've been taking Trinessa Low for over a year now. I'm 19 started at 18. It is terrible for about the first 2 months. Bloating, nauseous, breast growth, drained sex drive from  8/10 to a 1/10. However, it is very effective and forgiving. The symptoms don't go away fully but do mild down after the two months. Still have about no sex drive."


"I took 2 for lower back pain, definitely muscle and it didn't really help."


"I've been taking mirtazpine for about 4 years now for depression and insomnia, hearing voices. I take 1 x 45mg tablet in the morring and 3 at night. Awesome medication."


"Diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer involving bones. PSA was 130. Gleason score is a pair of bad 7s (4 3) and a pair of 8s. Also undergoing chemo with docetaxel. I've had 4 of 6 scheduled treatments. I also have xgeva injection monthly and lupron quarterly. I've had one lupron injection  and 3 xgeva injections. After 42 days PSA dropped to 2.9. Three weeks later it was .7. That's a 98% drop each time. Was urinating 12 times a day about 4 to 6 ounces at a time and storing 9 ounces all the time. First treatment was docetaxel, xgeva and lupron on same visit. Relief was almost immediate. Eliminating 12 to 14 ounces now 4 to 5 times a day. Also take prednisone twice a day until chemo is done. Side effects have been fairly nominal."


"I started taking the pill right after Thanksgiving 08. I started at 215lbs now I'm 185lbs. It has worked really well for me."


"After having chronic constipation for several years and having nothing but laxative, I was prescribed Amitiza. I have been on it for 3 weeks and can't take it. I have bloating so bad and am backed up that I must return to my laxatives. Back to the doctors for a specialist referral. Good luck to all others though."


"My doctor prescribed me Loestrin 24 Fe due to long periods and painful periods each month, it worked well with my period. Lasts 4 or 5 days it is really light but it gave me a bacterial infection, close to yeast infection and bad acne and even though I took the pills correctly I bleed on them all the time. So my doctor gave Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I took my first pill today so hopefully it works way better than Loestrin."


"I have TMJ and it was causing severe headaches. I was given Naprelan to  take down the inflammation in my jaw. Within two days I was feeling much better and could even open my mouth wider."


"This stuff smells disgusting.  I gave up after two days.  What kind of idiots would want their product to smell like this ???
If you've got stock in this company sell it quickly."


"Got it in 4/11/14. 1st 2 wks couldn't keep anything down. Dr tested and gave anti-nausea pills which worked. Period started 3rd week and seemed normal. Everytime boyfriend and I get intimate I start bleeding again. I have gained 35 lbs the last 3 months and have not changed my eating habits or lifestyle. I am nauseated ALL the time and sick ALL the time. Find myself running to bathroom few nights a week. Feel pregnant. More irritable. Boyfriend and I have discussed things and we both are not happy with the way it's making me feel sick all the time. Getting this thing removed next Tuesday morning!"


"This didn't help my insomnia at all. If anything, it makes my mind think even more. I have even more trouble sleeping than when I was on Elavil 25mg or Zopiclone 7.5mg. It's frustrating since I'm only 20 years old and I've been suffering from insomnia for 2 and a half years now."


"I've had nexplanon for 14 months with no period at all since I had my son. Then all of a sudden two weeks ago I started spotting. Never really got heavy enough for a pad so I used panty liners. It lasted 10 days. Stopped last Saturday September 5th. Then yesterday I'm it starts again but this time it's heavier, I have no choice but to wear a pad. I went to the ER this morning because I thought something was wrong, they said everything is normal and that it is probably breakthrough bleeding. I'm pissed because I went over a year without any periods and my gyno told me that most likely I wouldn't get one at all and now this. I loved it until now. I'm trying to stick it out for a month or so to see if it regulates. If not I'm having it removed"


"Gets rid of it quickly, but it can cause stomach cramps."


"I have my Implanon since January 2013. I'm happy with that so much. My period is every two months. Only one side effect is my breast pains two weeks before period."


"I am taking Gabapentin for nerve pain from an accident many years ago. I had been suffering with it for a long time. This drug has decreased the pain 10 fold and has given me back part of myself."


"Cannot get to sleep. Extremely angry / irritated when first get up."


"Make the itching stop. I took this for Hayfever and it worked. BUT, it then caused me to have head to toe bumps and itchiness even after stopping taking it. The itching is keeping me up at night. I am hoping to wait it out and never take it again. Also while I was taking it my eyes and face got really, really swollen. I am still not sure if this was from an unusually bad allergy season or the Zyrtec, but I am going to guess it is the Zyrtec because my allergies have never caused this before (usually I just have sinus and itchy eyes).  "


"When my dosage was increased from 100 mg to 200 mg what a remarkable change. I felt relaxed, less anxiety, with the combination of Seroquel, Cymbalta it was a lot easier dealing with the minor things in life."


"Simply my miracle medicine. I actually became "myself" again. After 15 years of trying EVERY antidepressant available (I've become an expert on antidepressants). Lamictal was my doctor's last resort. After about 2 weeks, a woke up on morning, turned to my husband and said "I'm back". Have been on it about 8 years now and I'm truly "me" not bipolar or depressed. I take it in combination with Wellbutrin...perfect combination for me."


"I was getting extremely painful monthly UTIs before starting Nitrofurantoin. I tried everything - peeing after sex, cranberry juice, you name it, but nothing worked. I haven't had a UTI in over two years now since I started taking the drug. Truly a life saver."


"I have been on Prozac since 1991. It has helped me in more ways than one. I really don't think I would be here today. I think I would have been a miserable soul without them."


"I have been on Sprintec for a month and a half so far.  Let me say that I have tried over 15 kinds of birth control in the last 10 years and usually have horrible side effects.  So far, I have had none from Sprintec.  In fact, even though I have severe endometriosis, I was put on Sprintec due to untreatable acne and oily skin which had developed only in the last year.  After being on Sprintec for 2 weeks only, my skin had cleared up.  I had been seeing 2 dermatologists for the last year who tried many different medications and nothing worked to clear up the acne!  Also, I had been a little depressed (also due to some hormone sensitivity) for the last couple of months and that has cleared up very quickly as well.  So far, so good!"


"This medication made me feel like I wasn't real and I lost 6 weeks of my life while on it, hoping it would work. It did help with anxiety because I felt nothing and had no energy. Would not recommend at all if you need energy. Did not make me physically sick like Zoloft though, which had similar effects."


"Treatment resistant depression. This medicine was the best I've tried yet. A little restless at first, but that turned into feeling somewhat exhilarated, having a stimulant effect. I dressed up every day, was social, glad to wake up. Psych nurse said I was so bright she'd need to wear shades. Alas it wore off, but everything does. No side effects, no withdrawal. A great medicine."


"I did not voluntarily take this my mother made me because i lost my v card at 17 but i was fine on it for the first 4-5 months but i always had pain in my ovary areas but it was fine. I actually liked it because i didnt have to worry about pregnancy. Now after 5 months i began losing my sex drive i couldnt get wet at all even if i was wanting sex. I began having severe mood swings and was so depressed i didnt want to be alive,and i got the ovary pains so bad i went to the emergency room and they just said it was nothing.The day i turned 18 is the day i got off.I immediately felt better and i even had a little sex drive.4 months off doing FAM birthcontrol still going strong. But this depends on you i liked it at first but not in the long run"


"I got my IUD put in 2 days ago. It hurt more than I thought it would, like being stabbed twice with the measuring and insertion but was over before I knew it. I wasn't told to take any painkillers beforehand but wish I had.  I couldn't help but cry as I felt cramping and felt the T seem to open up inside my uterus. An abortion hurt less than this. I haven't been able to do all that much in 2 days. I can feel it in there & it doesn't feel right, inflaming the uterus so nothing attaches.

Woke up today with my belly swollen, 1.5 in. bigger than before & had diarrhea for 2 days. Got online & read about more side effects. Fiancé felt bad for me and we are discussing him getting a vasectomy now since this doesn't feel right. Removing it asap."


"I've been having mixed tension migraines almost daily since a head injury over a year ago. When I started taking amitriptyline I took 12.5 mg every night for a week and increased every week. Now I'm taking 50 mg. In the beginning, I was very groggy every morning, but now it's only an issue if I take it too late or get little sleep. It has also caused vertigo from time to time; it feels like my bedroom is spinning when I'm lying down, but it only happens once in a while. The real problem is that it does prevent my migraines. Though I've been taking it for about six weeks, I frequently wake up with migraines and almost always have one by day's end. I'm hoping to switch to something else at my next neuro appointment."


"I've had social anxiety since high school and was put on Zoloft, which never worked.  I eventually developed panic attacks when I was 26.  I've tried Xanax for a few days after I was diagnosed and hated it.  Was put on Celexa 20mg and did not see any improvement after a year. I learned to self manage and handle my anxiety attacks and knew that I wasn't going to die.  I went for a few years like this until I got medical insurance.  I went to the Dr. After reading reviews on Buspirone and asked if she thought it'd help with my anxiety. I took 7.5 twice a day for the first 2 weeks and noticed almost immediate (about 30 mins) relief.  Yes it does make you dizzy for a few weeks but nothing you can't handle.  Give it 6 wks and you'll love it!"


"I have had this for 4 weeks now and think all girls should get it. I always had a regular cycle and a period every 4 weeks but now haven't had one since before I got it. I haven't gained any weight (yet) amd haven't had an increased appetite. The only slight downfall is I get a little bit of pain in my arm sometimes but nothing unbearable. Would highly recommend!"


"I tried this one night, and it didn't do much.  I have struggled with insomnia off and on for 30 years.  I then took a 20 mg. dose, and it really helped.  I woke up refreshed. If it continues to work like this, I will be very satisfied."


"I heard from a bunch of mom friends IUDs were the way to go and really not very painful at all especially after you've had kids. Well after a stupid amount of research I had it inserted February 24th 2017. Its March 7th 2017 and I have not stopped bleeding. The procedure was very painful for me but it was quick. My husband came with too. I don't think I could have driven myself after.  I did take ibuprofen like suggested an hour before and I have had two normal vaginal births of 8 pound boys. Also I have a bunch of piercings, tattoos, and broken bones. Thought I had a high pain tolerance. I've been having mood swings and hot/cold sweats. Irritable/crying/sad mainly. I'm thinking about removing it at the 4 week check up. No sexy time yet :("


"I had my arm implant on May 07 20015 a month after given birth.The first year in a half it was all good no bleeding or spotting no periods ,but then in Nov of 2016 I started spotting  and it was on and off for weeks. Then on Jan 2017 I was bleeding like the whole month then one week it stops and when I would start having sex it started again the bleeding and its has been like this ever since and now I have cramps almost everyday .My mood swings are so bad I can be happy and then angry for no reason.I have been to my obgyn she put on some pills estradol I believe it's called ,but did not help with the bleeding I'm going to have it removed I just have to make my appt. Oh and did I mention that my sex life sucks I never want to have sex ."


"Week one on the starter pack.  Was still smoking, no urge to quit, no side effects.  Start week 2 (2 mg a day).  I go to bed at 11-12 every night.  Started waking up at 3 am on the dot every morning.  Extremely vicious nightmares.  I am all for vivid dreams but I have never in my life experienced anything like these.  I love my wife deeply and in one dream she cheated on me, I woke up and found myself actually angry at her like it really happened...these are nightmares that haunt you the next day.  By day 12, I started hallucinating, seeing patterns on the wall, in text, etc. It DOES eliminate the pleasure of smoking..thus the ease of quitting, and depression set in. Use with caution."


"I am on 150 mg of liquid methadone daily. And it has saved my life. Many say it's trading one drug for another but that's BS. If your an addict and are seeking MAT help. Methadone works!!!!"


"I have been on pain medicines since 1987 and an injury. I went through it all the way up to Lorcet. Then when they found out I had a liver condition, they switched  me over to Butrans. About 30 minutes after taking it, I was out of pain, but I was also in a newer state of mind. On my previous pain killers, I assumed they were working. But with Butrans, once it hit me, I was VERY aware of being on a narcotic. NO pain and a nice buzz on the side.

Thank You to Butrans."


"My husband began taking this about 20 years ago after being on Dilantin for 6 years, when he was on Dilantin, he had horrible side effects and still had seizures...To us this is a miracle drug...not a seizure since beginning it!"


"On second round got pregnant and is now 11 weeks and 3 days."


"After years of taking the pill and going through rigorous mood swings and having to remember to take the pill, I wanted a better option. I did not want to take the shot every few months or have in implant in my uterus, I read for awhile on the nexplanon implant and the reviews were a bit here and there. After speaking with my obgyn about it, I made the decision to use this method. The implant appointment was painless and my doctor has never had an issue with the insertion moving from the location. My moods are much better, I do not have to take a pill or even set a reminder anymore. I have had it a few weeks and my period has gone away completely. This so far has been one of the best decisions I am happy to have made."


"I was switched from Loestrin 21 to Apri a few months back because my periods were irregular and my doc thought Apri would be better for me. I like that there's placebo pills in Apri cause I was awful at taking 21 day packs. The first couple months were a little tough adjusting to the higher dose of hormones. I was super emotional! But that's normal. I'm on month 5 now and things are fine. I'm still a little emotional, but only "cry at something dumb" emotional. Nothing I can't handle. My periods are light and I barely have any pain. Close to no acne. My boobs seemed to have grown a bit, so that's cool. My sex drive seems to be a tiny bit lower, but I never had a crazy high sex drive in the first place. My husband and I still have a healthy sex life. I might have gained like 5 pounds or less but that might be because of my lazy ass and not the birth control :) best of all, I haven't gotten pregnant! I recommend Apri. Give it a chance and let yourself adjust to the hormones."


"Diagnosed with chlamydia again after retesting. Had no symptoms, but I didn't the first time as well. Slight nausea, cramps and pooping about 20 mins after. Nausea and cramps go away but poop last a day or so. I hope this works, as I'm not sure if it did the first time."


"When I told my doctor about how previous birth controls had made me break out, she prescribed this medicine.  "It'll clear your face up", she said. Nope. Nah ah. I have taken this medication for over 2 months and it has made my acne WORSE.  WAY worse. Painful cystic acne worse. All over.  I haven't had acne this bad since high school. It has also made my period very heavy and blood clot-filled, which last for 7 days.  Also MOODSWINGS. Horrible mood swings. The only positive is that I haven't gotten pregnant. But is it worth it when you're left feeling horribly self-conscious and depressed???"


"I was prescibed Xanax and it works well for things like panic attacks. I do not like that it makes me loopy by taking my prescibed mg, and if I cut it in half I feel that it doesn't work at all. Xanax works very well for short term anxiety and if highly addictive so it is best to take it when you absolutely NEED it. A Prn that is supposed to work like Xanax but isn't addictive starts with a V so ask your doctor about that. :)"


"I've used Ambien for almost two years for my insomnia. It works very effectively."


"Rexulti has been my worst nightmare. I'm 48. Crying everyday, inability to carry out everyday responsibilities and far worse super depressed. I've never been like this before . I just felt so much emotional pain. My husband called my doctor, and we suspect Rexulti. I'm off one day and the super lows have diminished. Four more days and it should be completely out of my system. Going back to Abilify. It's not perfect, but it doesn't take me to those super lows ."


"This does seem to take the edge off but it has been making me feel mega spaced out and lethargic. Almost like smoking pot. At least I'm too spacey too be cranky!"


"On day 3 of 7 being treated for Pneumonia, Sinusitis and Ear Infection.

PROS: I can breathe again. I feel like the pressure in my chest is lifting. My ear pain is almost completely gone.

CONS: Extreme fatigue, Severe body pain (hands, wrists, ankles and knees), Insomnia"


"I was told it was safe by my OBGYN even though I was only 7 wks pregnant. Went against my gut instinct, trusted them resulting in my miscarriage during the 3 day treatment. First treatment I administered was right before bed, and I started mild bleeding by the next morning (mind you I had no bleeding or complications before this). Didn't even have symptoms of a yeast infection so it was mild at best. Wish I never used it."


"This drug near killed me .. Why ? couldn't  sleep even an hour, had panic attack ..  Paroxetine it's worst nightmare ,.,.  Dire Side effects"


"I feel the need to write this review as I read so many negative reviews online of Cymbalta before I started taking it, and they really freaked me out. However, while I cannot negate what others have said as I know this type of medication varies for almost everyone, Cymbalta has been really great for me! I have mysterious chronic pain for over two years now, and after trying so many different things to lessen it (other medications, chiropractic, PT, supplements, acupuncture, stretching, icing....the list goes on), this has been the only thing that has really helped me. My pain hasn't gone away fully, but Cymbalta has made my life a lot easier. I have experienced no side effects so far."


"Dilauded is the only pain medication that offers me any type of relief.  I herniated 3 discs in my lower back and I was on an IV of 2mg every 4 hours.  Only con was it made my face very itchy.  The second time I had an IV of Dilaudid was post spinal tap.  I was given 1mg injection every 2 hours (lower dosage, more frequently made pain more manageable).  I now have a prescription for 4mg every 3-4 hours for chronic back pain.  I believe it has dramatically improved my quality of life."


"So I got the implant about 3 months ago and got it taken out yesterday and I will tell you why. Within 3 months my anxiety increased about 50 fold, I gained 11 pounds while eating healthy and organic food. My abdominal has been bloated like 5 pounds the whole time. Very uncomfortable and kinda painful to press on it. I got 2 UTI's back to back (which never happens). Had a short temper, overly emotional and angry a lot for no reason. My fiancé told me my whole personality changed and that I was going from being sweet and kind to a mean and hateful person. Not to mention I would freak out over the littlest things! I already feel less crazy with that thing out of me. I just hope my bloating and pain will go away soon...."


"This medicine is amazing. I was on 20 mg and now I'm on 10.
My symptoms were tremendous that you can't imagine.
When I started taking this medicine  I had a racing heart but the doctor tells me that is a sign that the medicine is working. The side effects went away in the first month and I got better with some aerobic exercices..5-10 mins a day.
Its been 2 years on this medicine.
This work fine. Don't be scared just patient and if you have panic attack , try to distract your self..
Good luck to all , and never give up guys !"


"The first week it wasn't too good but after it was in my system..BRILLIANT! I am happy, in control of my emotions and back studying and being the best mum I can be ...wonderful."


"Have had major depressive disorder with borderline bipolar since I was 9. These last several years started to develop anxiety. Haven't been able to find medications to help with my depression, so the anxiety really just pulled everything farther down for me. Thankfully though have a wonderful doctor now, an whereas still having trouble finding anything to help with my depression, have started hydroxyzine for my anxiety. I am sensitive to medication, an first tried half a 25mg pill, which knocked me on my behind! But during the day I take roughly 6-7mg when needed, an it calms me enough to be able to go outside and to the store. I also have insomnia, so taking a half pill at bedtime on bad nights usually helps me sleep ok. Fully recommend!"


"After day 3,  had difficulty swallowing and terrible anxiety badly enough that I couldn't swallow pills or food without regurgitation. I started taking Prilosec thinking acid reflux. Even an Advil pill creeped up my esophagus and lodged into my throat. It went from bad to worse.  Was living on a liquid diet. Had to see a Gastro doc and Ear Nose and Throat doc. My throat was scoped, found nothing. 3 days after getting off both Macrobid and Prilosec my symptoms went away. Fourth day off was given a swallow test which I passed. I am now able to eat solid foods without feeling as if I am going to choke to death."


"Works amazing! A life saver!!"


"I'm a 19 year old female in college. I started taking Buproprion SR. This really helped me with feeling happier. I'm okay with being alone now, I'm not as sad as I used to be. I'm more optimistic and motivated, unlike I was when I took Cymbalta and Lexapro. It doesn't cause weight gain like everyone says you do on antidepressants. The orgasms are extremely intense. The only issue with me was 300mg a day gave me excruciating migraines. Now I take 150mg a day and feel fine. "


"Its doesn't work for me at all! no symptoms which was good but took two rounds of this antibiotic and still had uti"


"I am going to turn 70 yrs old in March , I have had HSV for 42 yrs. I take the 500mg dose as soon as I know its going to start up and if I neglect taking it for whatever reason it flares up , one of the things that I noticed that is sure to get it going is Sun bathing . I have become a vegan and live a very healthy life style which really helps the immune system."


"I took this medication to get some relief from severe allergies.  It helped with the allergies but I ended up in the ER with chest tightness and some tingling sensations in my chest.  I had a battery of tests on my heart, all was fine.  This medication made me feel bad on one day, worse on the second day with the chest discomfort.
"


"This medication quickly worsened the itching and burning and made me very sick. Nausea and vomiting with headaches began only and hour after insertion"


"Tried this med after failure with a few other drugs (paxil, lexapro, remeron, prozac, buspar).  Figured since I really wasn't tolerating the SSRIs that maybe I had a dopamine or norepinephrine problem.  I have anxious depression.  Could only tolerate this medication for about a week and a half and I consider myself pretty strong and able to suck it up since these meds take time to work.  My sleep became terrible (nightmares, even if I did sleep) and I was super anxious, dizzy, and shaky all day.  Week and a half and I had to call it quits.  Would not recommend this if you have anxiety but then again, some people get anxiety relief from similar norepinephrine drugs  (Wellbutrin or Pristiq).  Not for me.  Oh, and the cost was insane.  $300/mo"


"I am thirty years old and have had hep c for about eight years. I was a very heavy IV drug user. After several years of abuse  and horrible situations, I decided to get clean. I started epclusa in February. Genotype 3a the more aggressive one, and I did blood work after three weeks, and there is no indication of any hepatitis left. In either test. I will continue to take the medicine for the rest of the twelve weeks. And I had some side effects, in the first three weeks it was worse, headaches, body aches, nausea, and fatigue. But now its a lot better. Still some side effects, but there not as prevalent. Definitely worth it in the whole scheme of things. Excited for a new chance in life #!!#."


"My husband finds great relief with this for his breakthrough pain. Very fast acting but relief only lasts about an hour. He needs more than one of these for use a day but since the DEA have declared war on pain management doctors he is only given one dose per day. His quality of life would greatly improve if he was allowed to have more for his breakthrough pain. "


"I took phentermine in 2002 on and off and lost a lot of weight. I started again on Tuesday 24 June. I currently weigh 195lbs and am 5ft 7. I wanted to ask people this forum who have had a good weightloss if they took the tablet or capsule and also if they have changed their eating habits and if they count calories? When I took it years ago I don't recall eating a lot, but now I was told I need to eat 1200 calories in order for it to work successfully. Is this correct? Thanks in advance for reading and responding."


"At my request following online research I asked my GP to change me from Losartan to Candesartan as I was not getting satisfactory BP control. In less than a week my BP has gone from 160/89 down to 135/80 on 12mgs. I feel fantastic and have no obvious side effects.  I wish I'd made the change sooner."


"I've been taking this medication for 3 weeks. First week I was on 30 mg, I felt almost immediate relief from my anxiety/depression. The first six days I experienced fatigue and slept 12  hours a day. By 7th day I was sleeping less and feeling more emotionally balanced. Second week, my dosage was increased to 60 mg and the same thing happened. I slept 12  for about 6 days and by the 7th day I felt good and was sleeping normally. I do have some clenching of my jaw and dry mouth, but a glass of water seems to help. I take my medication at the same time every morning after eating and drink lots of water throughout the day. I'm not taking any other drugs.  I've found great relief with Cymbalta. My husband is thrilled with the calmer, happier me. Me too!"


"This med causes me severe headaches and helps with anxiety some but the pain in my head only grows worse each day along with blurred vision and highly increased appetite and dry mouth. Not worth the daily headaches. Using an antihistamine for anxiety and blood pressure meds like clonidine, said to help with my adhd that does nothing for my focus,  is a mixture of insanity. Im over the vistaril after a month of more intense headaches everyday."


"I took this birth control pill because I was experiencing extreme PMDD symptoms. My doctor put me on this hoping it would help and ease my symptoms by the intake of the hormones. THIS MEDICATION DRAINED MY WHOLE LIFE. It caused anxiety, depression, mood swings, bouts of crying every single day, and spend 3 months of my whole summer break IN BED, LITERALLY. I finally came off of it next week, and I can already feel like myself again. Stay away from this drug, its also a generic for "YAZ", which is absolutely HORRIBLE. Stay away, please."


"I wake up every two hours at night to urinate.  On the way to the bathroom I am unable to hold it in.  Thank God for Depends.  I'm afraid to not take the med, but have to find something else.  My insurance co pay is $350.00 for a ninety day supply."


"I have been taking this birth control for nearly 6 months. My new obgyn told me to stop taking it because of my blood pressure as it rose since I started this pill. I also gained 18lbs on this pill. I even changed my eating to eating healthier which didn't affect my weight. I also got a shorter temper on these pills. I also have almost constant breakthrough bleeding with mucus probably 3-5 days a week"


"My wife was on this stuff for at least a couple of years.  She suffered severe tiredness, nightmares, irritability, and even suicidal thoughts, accompanied with severe depression!

Although it did make her feel better the side effects are not worth it at all!  She switched to flonaze and it is just as Good.  Please, if you are on  this medicine and have any of these side effects,please stop!"


"I only been taking it for a few days seems to be working but the side effects are really bothering me. I feel very dizzy, light headed but no stomach pain."


"Prescribed by the doctor as after coming off the pill I broke out in spots. First time I used it I had a severe reaction. I felt a burning & tight sensation on my face, looked in the mirror & it looked like I had been burnt. I took an antihistamine straight away. Nothing changed after 2 hours so attended the hospital who advised me that I had received the worst allergic reaction they had ever seen. "


"I have been on Strattera  for 6 years. I take one 18mg a day. When I take it I don't feel like myself. I feel depressed. I feel tried all the time. So for me I don't like it but so far they haven't found anything else that will work  for me."


"I had a severe concussion and was given Fioricet, after Toradol and something else wouldn't offer any relief. Talk about a miracle. Once it kicked in my headache was gone! One pill every 4 hours, but with my injury it seemed to wear off in about 3 hours and unfortunately it takes an hour plus to start working. I did sleep after each pill so maybe I'm just immune to the caffeine. Love this medicine, just wish it worked faster and lasted longer."


"I'm a healthy 26 yr old. I took Sronyx for about two or three months, which I had to stop due to the intense migraines it caused. I was then switched to Sprintec. I'm was on it for almost two years. I must say it was absolutely effective at preventing pregnancy. No scares. And even when I missed a day and had to double up (which only happened once or twice). For the first three months or more, I had no issues other than fatigue. Then the other side effects came. Acne, extremely dry skin, hair loss.  I experienced a significant amount of weight gain, which I was unable to lose, even though I run and work out regularly. And I got mood swings and depression to the point of suicidal thoughts! I thought I was going crazy. But everyone is diff."


"In October 2010 I had a psychotic attack.  It appears that my old medicine escitalopram (taken since 2004) has failed to treat my ongoing depressions. Since have transferred onto this medicine about six months ago by a psychiatrist. Taken with escitalopram I gained 1.5 stones in weight. No longer taking escitalopram the weight has dropped off of me. Now taking a dosage of 200 mg daily this medicine is not working on either the hallucinations or the depression. May need a stronger dosage and/or take in combination with an antidepressant."


"I honestly LOVE Implanon! I am a worry wort and not worrying with the monthly pregnancy scare has been fabulous. I have mood swings (but I've always been hormonal). I almost chickened out after reading online reviews but I'm glad I didn't. No weight gain. No acne. Slight bleeding. Highly recommended by me. "


"I was with gastritis symptoms for about two weeks and didn't pay attention until last Sunday I had one of the worst stomach pain ever, couldn't sleep, had fever and nausea the entire night and even during Monday. I went to the doctor that same Monday and he gave me this medication; after I took it, the pain went away within 20 minutes and, in about 3 days, almost came back to normal. I'm still taking them for another 6 days because I still feel I need it (I was almost an entire month feeling weird so I think I will take a while before I go back to normal). I'm also complementing with a healthy diet (stopped drinking coffee, sodas, foods with sugar or fat)."


"Took for a gum infection after an extraction - no side effects whatsoever and did the job!  Good stuff!!"


"I have suffered from the pain of arthritis and disc degeneration in my lower back and neck. I also have fibromyalgia.  As if that wasn't enough, I have been recently diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder. This medication has been great for me. I've only been on it for 4 days and already my pain has been greatly reduced. I haven't had to take any Percocet which is great. I have had to take a couple Tylenol. It has also really helped reduce my anxiety and depression. I really hope it keeps working. I take 300 mg about 1 PM and two 300 mg capsules at night. Side effects are minimal. I'm still a bit drowsy in the morning but it's nothing a good cup of coffee won't cure.  It has been a great medication for me."


"I, before starting this, read a lot of negative reviews. My endocrinologist wanted to try this as a way to see if my hair loss, acne, and a few other issues were related to something that this medication would help. I have been on it for a month. In the first week, my skin cleared about 90% and since, my hair has stopped falling out. Some of the extra body hair I was growing has ceased and also disappeared. It does give you headaches, and it does  make me cry a lot, which is abnormal for someone who has no emotional outbursts, ever. I have not gained any weight. I lost three pounds. Although it did make me lose a few pounds, it does keep your stomach a bit bloated. I think it is something that you personally would notice. Its good overall."


"I've been taking Entocort for almost 3 months now.  My symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease are almost non existent.  However since taking this medicine (almost from the beginning) I now have psoriasis all over my body, including pustular psoriasis on my hands and feet, which is very painful.  I believe this medicine is causing the psoriasis, I've never had this condition before."


"I was switched to Jolessa by my OBGYN after 7 years of hormonal migraines the day before/of starting my period while on Spintec. So far, I've had a light to moderate period the first two months and have gained around 6-7 pounds. My skin is fine, can't comment on the headaches because I've had a consistent tension headache the entire time. I'm lazy as as and just want to sit around and eat icecream. Something extremely annoying above all I think is the constipation. I'm so bloated and uncomfortable. I have a fiber rich diet so I'm assuming this is the problem. Not happy so far but I'm gonna stick with it. Will re-review later after I'm done cleaning out the freezer section at the grocery store."


"I have ran the gauntlet of ADD meds, starting with Concerta then tried Vyvance which worked well in the beginning,  then my Dr switched to Adderall XR,  then to I R, which works best for me I take 20mg twice a day definitely helps with non stop thinking,  racing thoughts,  and just simply getting motivated.  I have been on the IR for about a year and the highs are finally outweighing the lows. 39 years old and can see light at the end of the tunnel."


"Hi! I am 35yrs old, no kids and after many years on jaz pill I wanted to have less hormonal impact. And of course every woman reacts differently so you might be someone with no problems at all. Insertion didn't work the first time since I had bad cramps due to uneven cervix. Next time the doctor prescribed a vaginal pill softening the uterus. That helped a lot with the cramps. I had several days with cramps afterwards but equal to having bad mentrual pain. It was uncomfortable but tolerable.

On Skyla for 6 weeks now and have had light to heavy spotting since the insertion. Weight gain and irregular cramps. Will wait another few months to see if it gets better before having it removed. Wanted to love it because of easy use and less hormones"


"Schering-Plough is moving their facility that makes Drixoral and it will be back on the shelves late in 2009.  Go to their website for more information.  This is great news!"


"I get a really tough Sinus infection each October and Early Spring like clock work. If I let the infection go too long without going to a Physician - I can be in bed with thick phlegm, headache, full head, and extreme fatigue for several weeks. Levaquin is the only medication that get rid of these infections. Walk in clinics never prescribe it%u2026 so have to wait to get in with my own GP. In Mexico you can buy it without a prescript - as I did last year on vacation when I came down with a Sinus infection but hence- as alot of things in Mexico - was a scam%u2026. sugar pills. The only side effect I have ever had was tendon pain - that cleared up relatively soon. This is the go-to for anyone suffering Chronic Sinus infections."


"This Opana is an excellent medication!!  I was taken off of oxycontin 60mg and am now on Opana ER 30 mgs.  They work so much better than the oxycontin for my pain, and the euphoric side effects aren't too bad to boot either.  I would say that a twenty mg opana is equivalent to a forty mg oxy.  The thirties are equivalent to about a sixty plus.  A very good medicine for pain!!"


"My acne was moderate, I went to the doctor and tried birth control to help & the first 3 months on birth control made it 100 times worse, I stuck with it though & then got on a prescription topical which I had an allergic reaction to. I tried so many different face washes, then finally a family friend recommended differin. I found it  for $20-25 I think? My skin cleared up in a week. I still have some small under the skin spots around my chin / mouth but easily covered up by make up. No more cystic acne! I recommend everyone to try this. I have before and after pictures that I wish I could attached because the difference is insane."


"I have personally been on Crestor to lower blood pressure and this has been totally excellent in doing that. Also when I started on Crestor I was 267 pounds and as if today I’m 208 and counting. Thank you Crestor for a new way of living."


"I know there are many with bad experiences, but everyone's body is different. This is the first time I have ever taken birth control "pill form" and I have had no issues. My weight has stayed about the same, I have my period for a few days and it is light, and I have no breakouts. The only thing I get is my breasts get tender, but other than that, I have had a wonderful experience with this pill."


"I have been taking Aviane for the past 3 years, and I have no complaints whatsoever. You may have headaches, nausea, or spotting when you first begin taking it, but that's just your body getting used to it: don't be fooled by terrifying reviews if they've been taking it for less than three months.

Before I started Aviane, my cycles were INSANE. I would be in terrible pain and the changes in my hormone levels were so extreme that I would often have excruciating migraines and vomit for 8+ hours.

Now my periods are very light, regular, and typically last for only 3 days. My skin is clearer, and while I did put on some weight at first, it was less than 10 pounds and I've already worked it off.

I would recommend this pill to women everywhere."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months now and it's great. My period lasts only like 3 days on the sugar pills, experience barely any cramping. The only downside for my body was that this pill makes you spot on and off so I keep having to wear a panty liner and it makes me really emotional like I cry over everything and I was never that sensitive. I haven't gained that much weight but I will say it makes me have an appetite like a man! It cleared up my acne too. I do recommend this pill."


"Taking Cellcept for my Myasthenia Gravis has allowed me to live a symptom free, normal life."


"1st day on Zubsolv. I have no history with Suboxone and I cant compare the two. For the last year, I was averaging 20 days of the month on 150MG of MD per day and 200MG of Hydro or Oxy for the other 10 days of the month. My source of MD went to clinic every two weeks so I always would be out of MD with 4 or 5 days remaining before this person went back to clinic. Sad but true and I accept that I am an idiot. Anyways, 24 days ago I just jumped CT. It was as bad as all you have read about MD. I was desperate and called a clinic and got on Zubsolv. Within 30 minutes all the anxiety, pain all over, lack of motivation etc. was fading. 1 hour later, I am like a different person. Based on 1 day, I am a fan."


"Lamictal has been the most all round effective medication I have take and that is saying a lot for a patient of 40 years. What I mean by that is my system rejected all antidepressants and antipsychotics because of a side effect called Akathesia. I sustained on lithium and Klonopin alone for a long time.
Back then doctors were scared to death of Lamictal because of the rash that few to none got when properly prescribed. I couldn't find one to prescribe so I got it from my family doctor. That was the best day of my life. I titrated the lithium while slowly adding the Lamictal with no problems. I have been taking 450mg a day ever since. I also noticed how badly 30 years of lithium had hurt me. I no longer knew myself."


"I am a 54 year old woman who started Contrave as a last ditch effort to loose weight before choosing surgery. I found loosing weight while experiencing menopause impossible. When I started the medication, I weighed 213. and I am 5' 2". I have lost 60 pounds in 16 months. I have had very few side effects. The medication gave me the tool I needed to change my eating lifestyle.  My high blood pressure is resolved and my blood sugars are now normal. I highly recommend this medication. If you are looking for a fast solution, this is not for you. Although I do not discourage exercise, I would like to mention that I am not in any kind of exercise program. I've gone from a size 18, to a size 10. I am grateful to my Dr. For prescribing this med."


"Loss of hair. Restlessness, insomnia, chronic fatigue, diplopia, Bell's Palsy recurring, skin rashes and sores, depression, mood swings, vision blurred at times.  The fatigue is the biggest problem right now. Had the summer from hell with diplopia and Bell's Palsy. The Bell's Palsy started on the left side and when that calmed down jumped over to right. Months of pain like someone drilling behind my ear and along the side of my face. My oncologist said it wasn't the nilotinib. I say it was a reaction between Purgodan and Nilotinib. Purgodan being a precleanser for colonocopies. My blood work is fine and my CML is under control. I did not tolerate Gleevec too well so this was my next option."


"I have been on NuvaRing for 1 week.  In the past, I've not been able to take hormonal birth control because it zaps my libido and makes orgasm difficult to achieve.  With NuvaRing, since the dosage of hormones is small, I have had no decrease in libido (yeah!) and I'm able to achieve orgasm just as easily as before (woohoo!).  When NuvaRing is in, I can't feel it during sex and neither can my partner. In my book, I give a big thumbs up! I think it's important to recognize that not all birth control works the same for everyone. Most people who think of posting a review, it's because they've had a negative experience. I think you have to try for yourself and see how your body responds."


"I stopped by the chemist and had a chat, he suggested I try Finacea. This condition has been with me for more than 5 years - I am 37. Couldn't wait I put it on so I did so as soon as I got in the car - my face started to burn and itch! Oddly though in the mirror it was not as if my face was breaking out?! Ten minutes later the burning/itching stopped. Its been a week of morning and night routine and I could not be happier, its as if the condition has been completely cured plus I don't get the burning/itching any more when I put it on. I don't have red breakouts, even had a few drinks out the other night and no symptoms the next day!"


"My yeast infection was tolerable,1 more day left to see doctor and I decide buy monistat 1 day treatment. It is awful -  the burning and itching awful!!!!!!!!!!!!DON'T USE THIS JUST DON'T "


"It's great, doesn't help the infrequent redness but keeps the skin clear.  for me,  just when I notice the flare up until it subsides.  The cost is exorbitant. $1800 a tube  60g."


"My new doctor put me on this birth control to try to ease my ovarian pain and severe cramping. After only a week of taking it my skin became extremely oily, when I normally have dry skin, and my skin began to break out. It made me bleed non-stop and didn't help with any of my PMS symptoms, if anything it made them worse. I've tried several other birth controls and this might be the worst one."


"I started taking this medicine last week so I could lose weight faster and for the first few days the pills were working. They were making me not eat as much and I had a lot of energy. About 3 or 4 days later things got worse, I started getting very angry and agitated at everyone. I ignored this and thought it would go away, but it didn't. I started getting really depressed thoughts and it felt like I had to take this pill or my mood would get worse. The mood swings were getting worse so I put an end to this medicine. Wouldn't recommend this if you already have depression because it can make it worse on you"


"I have Crohn's and peri-anal Crohn's. I take Percocet 5/325 3-6 times daily. Nothing else takes my pain away. I would be lost without them."


"Inserted Dec 1 2015. Insertion was extremely painful. My uterus contacted so much that I push out the iud during first insert. My doctor had to do it 2x. Most people say you only experience a minor pinch. For me this was very untrue. This is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I bleed for about a month after insert. About month 2 is when things started to become more "normal". I have experienced what I think are 2 cycles. I was formerly on the pill, had minor symptoms and only 3 days of bleeding. Although I know my body is still adjusting, my periods are now about a week long! I also experience horrible cramping about 5 days before. The cramps are not long lasting rather very sharp and random. I have been having acne face/back. :/"


"Horrible medication with tons of side effects.  I have tried this stuff twice over a 15 year period and this time was much worse....all the side effects listed I got to experience within two weeks of taking this drug with slow introduction.  And I still got migraines even while taking it...and now I have to take eye medication on top of wheezing, felt like puking, dizzy, edgy and wanting to kill myself.  Throw this one in the waste basket and try the alternatives before touching this stuff."


"I've only been on it for two weeks but I love it. I was freaking out reading the comments thinking I'm going to bleed for months on end and have acne all over my face, but my experience has been the exact opposite. I was on my first day of period when getting it, it automatically stopped it & I haven't bleed since, not even spot. I haven't had any other side effects, no acne, no weight gain, the only thing that I want to point out is it really hurts. My arm was really sore for about 10 days but now it's fine."


"I took a doxycycline tablet in the evening without enough water and went to bed. The next morning I thought the pill was stuck in my throat. The next day I felt like I had heartburn. The following day the muscles in my throat were spasming and I had much pain with swallowing. I believe the pill caused esophagitis. I have extreme burning when swallowing food."


"I now rarely get sick but I've had sinusitis for years due to my allergies. I've found out from my experience with sinus infections that there is no better drug than LEVAQUIN  for killing a sinus infection. I just went to the doctor for my ears being clogged for about 4 weeks now and she said I have fluid behind my ear drums and prescribed me 7 days of Levaquin 500mg. I'm about to start taking it tonight and in a few days I'll see results... I've used it a number of times for bad sinus infections and it never fails to work w/ no side effects that I can see. Great drug.  :  )"


"I have been taking this medicine for about a month.  It was prescribed to me a week prior to surgery for high blood pressure.  I have noticed significant swelling in my legs and ankles along with stuffiness in my nose.  It has controlled my blood pressure but has now started to cause pain and spider veins in my legs, behind my knees in particular.  I am going to try to increase my activity level and hope that it helps with the swelling.  I also have severe anemia so it is hard to tell if the anemia is contributing to these symptoms or not."


"In Dec 2012, I was diagnosed with HIV.  After another 2 weeks of testing, I was found to have a Viral Load (VL) of 10,000 and CD4 of 700.  I was very sad, but thankful I found this early.  By the time my Dr. referred me to a specialist, 1 month had passed.  In Jan 2013, my VL was 27,000 and CD4 was 680.  I wanted to go on antiretrovirals as soon as possible.  On Jan 15th, 2012, after 2 weeks of waiting for more test results, I started taking Atripla.  On Jan 18th, I had my VL and CD4 rechecked.  My VL was undetectable, and my CD4 was still at 680.  Literally, in 54 hours, my VL had went to undetectable.  Its now June 2013, and my VL is still undetectable, however, my CD4 count has not increased (670). The first few days are rough, but its been smooth sailing since."


"This is the best birth control method I have ever tried. I absolutely love it and haven't had any side effects at all. I've been able to keep my weight off, exercise and have a normal life with no problems. The insertion procedure is nothing to worry about either."


"Since I cannot choose more than one option for condition, I will post both reasons here: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Birth Control.

I first started with two other different brands of birth control before getting on Ortho Novum 1/35. The other two brands make me extremely moody and my periods were out of control.

Once I got started on Ortho Novum 1/35, my periods started evening out, lasting 3 - 5 days out of the entire placebo week. The only downside I've noticed was a little bit of weight gain and vaginal dryness during intercourse. I'm not overly moody or irritable and I can actually do activities that would leave me curled up on the couch."


"This medic did not work for me. Not even a little."


"I have been using this medication for 1 month and have lost 15 lbs.  I have been very fortunate and the only side effect I have experienced is a bit of a dry mouth.  That has not been bothersome it has only encouraged me to drink more water.  I have continued exercising 4-5 days/week. What has been a real blessing is I have not been obsessed with food and I cannot recall a time when food was a main focus of my thoughts."


"It worked for me, but I get aggravated easily and have a short-fuse.  I began taking Chantix in April 10 2011, stopped smoking altogether on April 12 2011 and stopped taking Chantix on May 20 2011.  Today is August 29th 2011 and still not smoking but wanted to know when the side effects might stop."


"I've had the Implanon in since I was 16. I've had 2 and am just about due for my third. That's right, for 6 years I've had irregular periods ever since, no cramps and no headaches but different experiences with sex drive with both implants. The first one my partner and I would have sex all the time but since my second one not so much. Actually I don't want it at all. Only worry now is because I've had it in for so long can I still get pregnant without it."


"Helped me to stop crying on a daily basis which I was doing because of my Fibromyalgia pain. Still have the pain, but have a better attitude."


"Lexapro saved my life and saved my mind.  I have pure OCD and anxiety.  I tried other anxiety medications before and was ready to give up.  My primary doctor recommended I try Lexapro. I started off at 10mg and started to feel better after a month or two but was still having compulsions from my OCD (although much fewer) so I asked my Doctor to up my medication.  She put me on 20mg and I have been on 20mg for more than six months now.  My life has changed.  I have never felt so alive and so real.  I have never felt so sane.  I can function for the first time in ten years at the degree someone "normal" functions act."


"I have been taking this for my allergies for a few years now and LOVE IT. The single daily dosage is great - I have NO "downtime" between doses.  However every year the supply runs out."


"so I am on the sugar pills of my third month on this birth control and I have finally concluded, I am not going crazy, its the pills.The first month was great, I lost about 5-6 pounds, felt wonderful and no babies! the second month was just as good until I got to 2 days before the sugar pills. I began getting terrible cramps (not normal for me) and even worse back aches (normal but not this severe) I was crying uncontrollably over my 'friend' who hadn't texted me that day and went through at least 3 uncontrollable rage spells, and got so exhausted, I couldn't keep my eyes open (I go through insomnia, one bonus about this pill is that I got A LOT of sleep) this month its worse, I can't even speak to my Dr. without wanting to scream."


"Unfortunately. This Medication really took a turn for the worse on my acne. I was on it for only 7 weeks but I couldn't handle getting nauseous and bad acne anymore. It made my skin more red and I was taking it with Acanya the topical cream. My skin just wasn't accepting the antibiotic which was sad because it had such great reviews. If you are taking it, take it with food. I missed one meal and needed to take it and I was sick for hours and ever since every time I took it, I would get even more nauseous. You win some, you lose some."


"Zoloft worked for me at first, but then I had what my Doctor said was "medication burnout," so it stopped working.  He switched me from Zoloft to Prozac (both of which I am off now).  I took them together for a week so I could taper off the Zoloft.  He told me that taking them together would reduce withdrawal symptoms, but it didn't.  I had horrible withdrawal from Zoloft.  I have never done crack, but I felt like I had.  I was sweating, my pupils were huge, and I was shaking for a good 10 hours; I also had bad vertigo for a week.  I think it would have been a lot worse if I was just trying to get off Zoloft. My withdrawal from Prozac has been definitely better. "


"I've used it for 10 days now in my most recent attempt to kick meth. It helps so much. It won't buzz you, but it takes away the debilitating lethargy and depression."


"I love Nexplanon. I got it November of 2013. They made sure to numb my arm so insertion was painless. My arm was sore for about a day but no worse than a harsh workout. I did have mood swings in the first few weeks but nothing out of control. Then I had my period for about 4 weeks which I'm told is normal. Since then I've only had a few days of spotting and nothing else. I'm on a nutritionist guided weight loss plan and have managed to lose 40lbs. So far while on Nexplanon so no problems with weight gain. I get the occasional acne here and there but again nothing too bad. Overall I rate Nexplanon high and its so great to no longer have the responsibility of taking a pill every day."


"I've been taking synthroid for about 3 years. I had to have radiation on my thyroids because they couldn't control levels. It just would go real low than extremely high. I'm on a 300 mg taking mon through to sat. I'm feeling better but it takes a long time before they find the right dosage."


"When used correctly it works well within the 60 to 90 minute time for satisfactory and excellent results. Quick injections and within 10 minutes, you are ready."


"This works great for hot flashes!  I never have them during the day anymore and not more than one at night when I first lay down. Also calms anxiety without any side effects that I can see."


"I've been on Metanx for 5 years since my podiatrist prescribed it.  No pain at all anymore In my feet and calfs."


"Am now on day 2 of meds still in horrible pain.hurts so much to swallow any type of food or water.. Fever is under control thanks to round the clock advil and Tylenol.no relief as of yet hoping that it starts to help.."


"After reading the reviews I am scared to take these patches , my first worry I told the pharmacist was it falling off and possibly getting into the hands of my grandkids and she assured me it won't Reviews say different ...with all the negative reviews I think I will suck up this broken rib ..."


"On 100mg Nucynta 4 x day works great for my chronic pain.  Side effects are drowsy, dizzy, clumsy, no stomach issues."


"My blood sugar level with Actos is higher then without taking it."


"Used when migraine has already formed and still reduces pain.  Needs to be taken twice for maximum reduction of symptoms.  Last minute resort usually, as it is pretty expensive."


"I've been using Tretinoin (0.05 %) for one year now to treat acne on my back, which I had not been able to get rid of with any other topical cream for the past seven years. At first, the Tretinoin cream dried out my skin to the point where it was peeling. I gently exfoliated every morning and used an oil-free moisturizing gel, which helped quite a bit. Then, my acne got worse for a month. However, since I do not feel comfortable using oral medication, I stuck with it and after 6 months my acne was 80% better! There are certain times of the month when some acne does come back, but in general this medication has drastically improved the appearance of my skin. I continue to use it every evening because otherwise the acne seems to return."


"I had been on the pill for nearly a year before deciding I should find an alternative form of birth control since I had trouble taking the pill on time and every day. I decided to get the Skyla IUD because my doctor kind of talked me into it, but when I brought up my fear of the IUD embedding into my uterine muscles she said she had never heard of such a thing, which seemed sketchy because I had personally known people it had happened to but I still went along with scheduling my insertion appointment. I went in for the insertion and it was a very quick process. Worst pain I've ever felt and I have a high pain tolerance. Cramps and spotting on and off thus far, but I love this IUD! Definitely worth the short 15 mins of pain"


"Used lots of non steriodal drugs, to fight back and leg pain. None of them seemed to work anymore. Doctor put me on Dolophine 20 mg 3x a day. It gave me my life back. I was at the point that I could not get out of bed in the morning."


"Incredible medicine. Took maybe 4-6 weeks to kick in though, but when it did, WOW. I was having a panic attack every morning and was relying on a benzodiazepine to live a normal life.

During the best of times, it has completely muted my anxiety. Sometimes I still get slightly anxious, but it's like the volume is turned way down. Have had maybe one "panic attack" (if I can even call it that, it was so mild) since it kicked in.

I'm happier, calmer, and more balanced. Only side effect was slightly disturbed sleep for 2 days when I started (and for a day or two after I increased the dose), and increased anxiety on the first day. I'm on 15mg and I couldn't be happier."


"I am currently 7.5 weeks pregnant, and I started experiencing debilitating nausea at about six weeks. I've been taking Diclegis for a few days now (2 before bed and 1 more during the day if necessary) and it's helped quite a bit. My nausea has decreased between 60 and 80%, and my appetite is returning. I actually went out to dinner with friends last night and enjoyed myself! I have had some drowsiness, but I can still get through my work day OK. And thank goodness for my great prescription coverage - $40/100 tablets! I hope it continues to control my symptoms this well."


"I'm a 26 year old female and been taking Straterra for 2 weeks for ADD and I love it. Straterra has been a miracle for me. Before I would start projects and never finish them but now I finish them. I'm actually happy instead of being down on myself and staying frustrated all the time my husband says I smile and laugh a lot more. I am experiencing some of the side effects, dry mouth, chills weight loss and I don't eat near as much but I needed to lose weight and ate to much before taking the drug. I just hope this medicine continues to work for me because so far its awesome."


"I've been on this for about 3 weeks and so far, I'm impressed! I've tried just about every birth control pill out there (aviane, tri cyclen-lo, ocella, microgestin...just to name a few) and a Mirena IUD, and this is by far the best. The doc told me I'm "hormone sensitive" because with other brands I would get really dizzy, nausested, tired, moody, bloated and low sex drive... even after trying them out for 3+ months. With this pill, I've only gotten a little moody/emotional, rather bloated and a few headaches.... Which is not bad and very manageable! I'm sure my body will adjust more and I'll be an even happier customer. Two thumbs up!"


"Omgggg when will the spotting stop! It’s been one month!!!!! So annoying...."


"So I am now into my 3rd week started out at 233 lbs. now I am 219 lbs. that's down 14 lbs in 3 weeks. Side effects that I have is if I even try to eat to much my stomach hurts to where I don't want nothing else. I am still constipated and tired at times my mood swings are up and down but I try to control them. Everything has not been bad enough to where I want to quit taking them. My idea weight lost is around 180 and as you can see I'm well on my way. I was able to get a discount card so my prescription cost me $42. I would recommend to anybody !!!

Everybody side effects are different."
