"I am 28 year old female. I was prescribed 10 mg.  I read a lot of reviews on Celexa where people said they felt a difference the first week and was starting to get really disappointed when I felt no different in that time frame.  I have been on it for exactly 7 weeks now and am just now starting to notice a difference. My interests have returned, I have more energy, and I am able to focus.  Overall I am definitely happier and don't feel down in the dumps anymore.  The only side effect I had was it made me very tired in the beginning but that has gone away completely.  For me, Celexa is working!"


"I've had paragard for a year now. Insertion was one terrible cramp, but otherwise fine. periods are definately longer, a full 7 to 8 days, and much heavier. But overall I really like it, especially since it's hormone free. The only thing that worries me is all the stories out there of the ladies who have gotten pg while having paragard!"


"Been taking this medication since last Mon,,,never ever felt so Ill in my whole life constant headache,,nausea,so lethargic,only two left to take,,I will never take these again,I have continued with them as Dr prescribed but yes uti has cleared,,,these tablets have severe side effects"


"I was prescribed Levaquin after suffering for 2 weeks with a severe cold and sinusitis. The Levaquin took care of the cold, but I got such severe tendonitis in my right ankle the day after stopping a 10-day course of it that I couldn't even touch my foot to the floor. It has improved by staying off my feet and icing - ice is really your friend here - but almost two months later I am still icing and wearing a brace, and now the pain has migrated up my leg. But the real problem is that I have breast cancer for the second time, and the doctors do not want to operate until my body is infection-free and inflammation-free. My son's way to ice is the best: ice the spot with a cube until it has completely melted."


"Have been afflicted with migraines for about 7 years now. Tried several medicines, including the prophylactics--with varying degrees of success and side effects. Relpax gives me my life back most of the time verses 3 day nightmare of pain. It does numb my face a little and make me woozy, but that's well worth it for me. It's so effective for my migraines, which definitely seem to be weather, and not food, etc., related."


"I'm 21 and have been taking Lexapro for over 4 years and have seen good results and bad. I had a panic attack after taking Zoloft and was hospitalized after a few days and began taking Lexapro afterwards and have had a few episodes. The biggest thing I think that has affected me was going off for a few days because it messed my system up. I am on 200mg in the morning and 100mg at night. I'm still struggling at times with public anxiety and depression, but still feel good after I take it. Next time I think I am going to ask for another medicine. For new users, I recommend it, but take it how you are prescribed and let your doctor know if its not working."


"I've been on this pill for nearly two years. It's incredible. No acne, no weight gain, regular periods, no migraines (related to it), no decrease in sex drive."


"I have been a smoker for 35 yrs tried cold turkey, patch, classes, nothing worked. Chantix is amazing. Yes I feel tired, trouble sleeping, but do not have the slightest taste for a cigarette. Now the amazing part 35 yrs heavy drinker, have not had a drink in 1 month. Just lost my taste for alcohol. THANKS CHANTIX."


"I"ve taken both Singulair and Montekulast.  The first time I took Singular, several years ago, I had nightmares filled with horror.  I quit taking it.  I now take montekulast and still have unusual and eerie dreams, but they are not full of the horror of those of several years ago.  I also find it difficult to sleep more than a few hours at a time, partially because of the dreams, which waken me.
However, it controls the night coughing better than any other drug I've used, from prednisone to advair.  I will continue to take it unless the side effects worsen."


"I've been on Luvox for 12 years for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It was the first medication and I tried and it worked perfectly. I wouldn't try anything else."


"I have had 2 back surgeries in the last 8 months.  Neither surgery relieved the pain that runs up and down my right leg.  I was sent to a pain clinic and put on methadone.  It has been a miracle.  I have tried other medicines with little success.  Methadone has worked best."


"The worst possible anti-anxiety medication ever. 14 years of taking it. Not only did it do the opposite of what it was supposed to do, but I became a horrible person to be around. High one day, down the bottom the other, irrational, fearless to a scary point, extreme in everything I did. the side effects were horrific and it took me 3 years to temper it down to stop taking it....But wait; 2 years after quitting this shit, serious side effects came back to haunt me in a terrible way...Yes; 2 years after I stopped taking Paxil. Please, Google Paxil side effects; many people have had the same problem! Stay away from this stuff. Banned in most of Europe for obvious reasons."


"I had my skyla IUD inserted this past Wednesday. Prior to my appointment I was reading others reviews, and experiences. Some I was horrified by, and others I felt at ease. It all depends on the individual, and your pain tolerance. I would say it was 4-5 on a pain scale. It was a bit painful and uncomfortable during the process. It took about 5-7 minutes tops. I'm happy with my decision as sometimes I would forget to take my pill. With the IUD I am worry free for the next 3 years! I say its worth it!"


"I'm 22 and this is my first birth control to have. My doctor basically pressured me that this selective medicine was the right choice for me. I have been taking this pill for about one week prior to being off my menstrual cycle in the midst of taking these pills, I rapidly began another menstrual cycle or what some call "break through bleeding". I've also became very emotionally to the point where I would call my mother and cry. And lastly my doctor advised me it would ease my cramps, which was a lie it actually made the pain worst. I didn't even finish my first week before I changed to another BC!!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I put off taking Modafanil until I used my cpap for 1 month as instructed by my doctor. I have complex sleep apnea, both obstructive & central & a circadian rhythm disorder, my clock is totally backwards, could be considered sleep shift work disorder but I haven't worked for a few years due to this & other medical issues. I've been doing a lot better but the sleep is the major issue. I tried modafinil 50mg, nothing. I then went to 100mg, nothing. I also tried 50 twice a day, nothing. After about 6 days I started experiencing EXTREME gastrointestinal pains, bloating & distension. I looked pregnant & could barely move because of the pain. I could not pass gas either. It was terrible. I was really disappointed as I heard good reviews here"


"I got the implant on the same day that I had a d&c procedure for my miscarriage. I thought my weight gain was just extra pounds I didn't lose from the baby and I just needed to try harder. I thought my depression and anxiety was because I lost my baby. It's been a year now, I've done alot of work. I haven't lost a pound. I start crying out of nowhere at work. I have no motivation to continue trying and have had a lot of suicidal ideation. I am getting this thing taken out of my arm on the 7th and I couldn't be more excited. I just want to be me again. Oh and I forgot to mention that almost every pair of underwear I own have become "period panties" because I bleed on a constant basis yet it's rarely enough to need a tampon. Yay.."


"I have been on Lamictal for 4 months. First couple of months I felt good. However since then I have had confusion. Headaches. Dry month and lips. Insomnia."


"I want to qualify my comments by disclosing I have only been on Contrave for a week. My intention is to comment periodically as I am on the med longer.

I was very nervous about starting Contrave given what I had read about the side effects. I don%u2019t take meds very often, and I didn't like the idea of going on a recurring and long term pill. That being said, the first week on Contrave has been incredible. I will say I was food obsessed before. Thoughts of food ran through my head throughout the day, and the idea of eating was always there.

I had no idea how much mental energy I had been spending pushing those thoughts aside. Now, with Contrave, my head is clear. I no longer sit at my desk and watch the clock, waiting until it%u2019s a reasonable time to eat, or force myself to push on another hour before ultimately giving in and getting a snack.

When I do eat %u2013 and yes, I still very much enjoy the taste of food %u2013 I don%u2019t feel that same sense of urgency and elation I use to. Those feelings would often trigger binge eating.

I look forward to seeing what my future with Contrave holds, and more importantly, I am hopeful.

Again, for full disclosure%u2026 I did have mild nausea the first day I took the pill, but it was short lived, and has not recurred in subsequent days."


"I have been taking Tramadol for a while for endometriosis.  It works okay. It makes me extremely restless though and after about 8 hrs I get really nauseated and end up vomiting.  It does help with the pain though. Not completely."


"I have taken Abilify for around 5-6 years. I initially was prescribed it at the age of 15 which is way too early in my opinion. However its had relatively few side effects, and has by and large helped me from my tendency to veare towards psychosis or extreme mood swings. Don't try and get off this drug on your own, it can have horrible consequences. I'm not totally sure what was the Abilify withdrawal and what was my illness, but I had some very extreme mania, that may have been a side effect of withdrawal. Overall Abilify is a very serious drug, don't take it lightly, and I wouldn't recommend it for depression. But it has helped me tremendously, and I don't have much else to say that is negative about it."


"I had Botox for overactive bladder io the 11 August 2016 been very unwell since flu symptoms aching body but above all my bladder is worse than ever .on and off the toilet constantly, with terrible throbbing and feeling of contantly full bladder. Back in hospital now they don't know what's going on although they are the ones responsible for the procedure !! At the end of my tether I wish I had never had this done no doctor wants to take any sort of blame and are playing dumb this is at King George hospital in goodmayes Essex been here for 2 nights they don't know what to suggest and have been mucked about for 2 days and nights. Can't sleep as sensation gets worse when I try to relax. Don't have this done"


"Abilify helped me at the maxed out dose of 30mg. I noticed that it made my manic episodes be more contained, however, when I was depressed it dragged me down deeper. I actually was suicidal. It was a real painful thing since usually my manic episodes are a lot worse."


"Lots of mental illness drugs are rubbish anyway. But this one made me poop about 3 times a day today. And I was sick for about 2 weeks on this. Stomach pain, nausea, joint pain and all that."


"I found out in 2003 that I had Hep-C I waited and put it off cause I was scared of those  interferon injections . As my  liver  enzymes rose and I had a bought off medical issues. I contacted a hep clinic in my area and they excepted me for the Harvoni treatment which I took from Apr. 2015/ July 2015 I was on it for 12 weeks cause I also had  cirrhosis. After 5 wks my blood work detected no infection. Then of course after the 12 I was cured and feel great. Never had a side effect or anything from this  miracle drug .  This drug should be available to everyone ."


"I have medicine and food allergies."


"I have been diagnosed with GAD, SAD, and depression. Before Wellbutrin I had only tried SSRI's like cymbalta and lexapro; they were TERRIBLE. I have gone untreated before trying those meds and they did nothing for my depression, just made me feel emotionally numb. The first 3 months on wellbutrin were terrible too, huge panic attacks all the time and my anxiety worsened. Now, this is my 6th month and I can proudly say that it is working!!! Compared to my pre-medicated self, I have more energy and am actually able to follow through with activities I wouldn't have thought of doing before. Most importantly, I'm finally not depressed!!! It took away that really tough barrier depression had on me that prevented me from enjoying my life."


"I had my 5th colonoscopy today and I used Prepopik  for the first time. In past props, I had horrible experiences with the different drinks that I had tried it. Several of them caused me to be very nauseous and even throw up but this was fantastic. I followed the directions for taking it twice in one evening and it worked perfectly. I was in the bathroom 45 minutes  after the first drink and then went regularly from that point on. I was a little nervous that my output was not as clear as I would have liked but by the time of the procedure at 8 AM things were at a good point. The report I received from the doctor said that the prep was excellent and they could see everything clearly.  I am so grateful to this company for developing a product that doesn't taste horrible and can be used in such a small amount."


"Helped with cough but couldn't sleep and had very severe diarrhea."


"I have taken Elmiron for 30 years. I started while they were still testing it under a "compassionate protocol". I had been having IC symptoms for 10 years prior to that, suffering terribly and wanting to kill myself. I did DMSO treatments, bladder distinction, Hytrin, Hydroxyzine, Pryridium and Elmiron and after several years was better. Over the years I have learned to manage my stress better . For the last 22 years I have been pretty good. Still I urinate very frequently and get up 6-8 times a night. I have adjusted to it. With those drugs I have worked a full career. I did have some nausea with the Elmiron at a higher dose. Now I take 2 a day, Hytrin, Hydroxyzine and Tagamet several times daily. I have never had hair loss or headaches."


"I was constipated for about 5 days do to taking diet pills. I took MOM at about 1030pm at night I woke up at about 5 am rubbing my belly and thinking I can't believe this stuff hasn't kicked in. When I tell you that thought hadn't even left my mind yet it kicked in and with a bang!!!! I barely made it to the bathroom. I felt so much better even though I almost pooped on myself!!!!"


"I have had a fusion of L4 and L5 in 2004 was doing fine until last year when I began to have pain in my low back and right leg accompanied with numbness and tingling down the leg. I also managed to severely rupture a few discs in my neck while stretching of all things. Was misdiagnosed by the surgeon who only fixed one of the ruptures with a fusion of C7. Off course this still left me with pain and numbness from my neck down both arms. About a month or so ago I switched to a spine and pain management doctor and he put me on the Lyrica (75mg 3x daily) and a Duragesic patch. These two drugs have worked wonders for my pain and Quality of life.
The only side effect is that my short term memory is a little sketchy and my mind doesn't want to shut down."


"Phentermine 37.5, helped me in a very positive way. As a person who has high blood pressure and diabetes it was a must to lose weight. I was exercising everyday but still gaining weight because of diabetes medicines. Well in the first month I have gone from 234lbs to 218lbs and on my way to 190lbs. I recommend finding what works for you. For me, I started taking it 6am and would have a snack bar around 12 noon. Then another snack bar around 2:30pm and then a regular healthy meal with more vegetables maybe 5 pm. I might have a snack bar around 7pm and that is it. Also I drink plenty of water all day. I exercise 4 times a week as well as cardio and aerobics. I find the longer I wait after taking medicine before eating the better the results."


"Ive been on contrave a little over a month. No side effects for me. Lost 15 pounds already."


"I was prescribed this medication after having symptoms for 1-2 days. I am not a pill taker. I was in between insurance so I had to go see a minute clinic provider. I was told the drug was highly effective and asked if I wanted to try it. I knew cipro worked in the past, but the prescriber seemed avid that this med would take cake if my symptoms. To no avail, I've had a horrible smell in my urine, a bout of leakage and now on day 4, my bladder and urinary tract burn & literally feels sore and swollen. This medicine is complete crap! I would have been healed by now had I been given the medication I requested in the first place! Now I am out 200 bucks and feel horrible and wondering if I have to go this all over again in 2 days..."


"I'm 18 and got the paraguard in March. I'm sharing this because I think it's horrible, but then again I've never given birth, so my cervix isnt used to being opened- at all. But the insertion was insanely painful, I was crying and almost begging them to stop. Afterwards I was nauseous and very pale- I had to sit in the office for a good 20 minutes before I could walk again. I had to drive home and I was in so much pain I almost crashed. The pain didn't go away for 2 months- straight. It was constant, out of no where lying on the ground, curled in a ball pain. After two months, it started to get better. Except came my periods. It would be heavy, to the point where I bled through a super-plus tampon in 30 minutes. And now I'm in pain."


"I am 17 and I got on YAZ in October 2008. I had never been on the pill before yet, I had heard bad things about Yaz. I went through some blood tests to make sure that YAZ would be okay for me and turned out I was cleared to take it. I have been taking it for almost a year now and I have felt no symptoms. I actually like YAZ because it keeps me very regular, I know exactly what day I will start and around the time, something I have never had before. Seeing all these bad reviews people are giving it makes me wonder. I haven't had any symptoms really but I have had the occasional cramps. My mom today just got me a new pill called Ocella. I decided to stay on YAZ."


"After taking many medications that were supposed to help with my anxiety, my doctor finally prescribed me Klonopin.  It works great, after only a few minutes I feel entirely better and it doesn't knock me out like the other medications did.  I can still function normally.  "


"I had to stop taking my migraine medicine because of a life threatening side effect.  Nothing else touched my migraines.  I was desperate because of the nausea and dizziness on top of the unbelievable pain, and took a Dramamine.  Not only did it stop the nausea and dizziness, it knocked out my migraine enough that I was able to get out aof bed and function - probably from a 10 on the pain scale to a 5.  Huge difference!"


"My husband has Parkinson's dementia and was put on Exelon patch 4 months ago.  He has psoriasis and the patch (we think) may have triggered it to be worse.  He does not want to stop the patch because of the good mental alertness he receives from it but the rash has become more widespread on his upper torso.  Doctor does not believe it is Exelon but I have begun to remove the patch after 12 hours and the rash has improved.  I believe the dose may be too high and causes the dermatitis.  Overall it is a good medicine."


"Best pain medicine made that helps."


"Worst birth control ever! I am 25 and have taken the same birth control since I was 17. 2 months ago my pharmacy gave me this pill and said it was the same, just a generic brand of what I have been taking. The past 2 months have been some of the worst of my life. I'm getting ready to lose my job, my marriage is unrecognizable (emotionally and physically), and I have thought about killing myself atleast once a day for the past 2 weeks. Luckily I started searching my symptoms (I was looking up anti depressants actually) and saw alot of stuff about birth control side effects and put the pieces together. On top of the uncontrollable rage, crying and overall unhappiness, I get my pd all the time. Try something else, not worth the side effects!"


"I'm 18 years old, my period was irregular and I'm sexually active, so i decided to start the pill. I  just started this birth control (first bc ever tried), the first 3 days when i was on this bc i got the worst headaches. Then I started to feel depressed and was tired all the time. Within the first week of taking the pill, I got my period, and I got the worst cramps ever - more worse than before i was using any contraceptive; tingling/numbness in legs, severe cramps, nausea. But now i don't feel depressed anymore and I don't get terrible headaches. My breasts feel a little fuller than normal-"normal" as in before I started using any contraceptive. I'm on my second week of taking the pill, so we'll see how it goes."


"Very horrible experience on this medication that I took years a go. Side effects were not pleasant."


"Seroquel was prescribed for sleep disorder and it works just fine without any hangover the next morning"


"Been on opiates for 10 years, broke my back had a fusion and have basically suffered since... talked to doc about the med the 1st two times I was amazed and sooo happy to have relief.. 3rd time I took it I was in withdrawal and couldn't go to work it was so bad :(. And I took it at night all 3 times. I'm so disappointed that it did this. I'm scared to take it again but now again back to being stopped up "


"I had always heard the negative jargon of Xanax, and was afraid to take it because I was afraid I would be addicted and unable to control it.

Eventually things were to tough and I was in one of the darkest points of my life. So I broke down and talk with my doctor about giving it a try. It totally changed my life. It helped me to focus more at work. It helped manage my anxiety so my mind could rest and I could sleep.

I could see how this medication could be misused it's important to take as prescribed."


"Stelara completely cleared 90% BSA, including severe palmar plantar pustular psoriasis within 52 days of initiating treatment. Side effects included extreme fatigue lasting approximately 72 hours after each application. Feeling "sunburned" was noted for several days after initial fatigue."


"Got a shot of it on Friday, some soreness on Saturday; but saw immediate results of reduced urgency to void every hour, sometimes 4-5 times per hour, depending on consumption of liquid.  Some sensitivity to right side of groin and scrotum.  Seemed like it might be some blockage in semen tubing or possibly the medication impacting the two lymph nodes that showed some cancer invasion.  Now it is Tuesday evening and the sensitivity on the right side groin is minimal.  It is really amazing how fast the medication impacted the symptoms.  I got a 3 month shot and expect to do a blood draw in 6 weeks to evaluate the impact on the PSA levels.  So far so good."


"Some years ago I began physically abusing my children and wife as the exasperation I was feeling steered my thoughts into a cycle of negativity and emotional upheaval.  The abuse, which I intellectually knew was wrong, would nonetheless arise in my "fits of rage," or decisions to become emotionally abusive.  With cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation and citalopram I am now nearly free from heralding such abuse upon those I love and I am so proud of myself as a husband, father."


"I was started on 75 mg Effexor and then increased to 150 mg.  I felt much better overall.  Anxiety was about gone, I could think through my thoughts.  However, I was not happy with the sexual dysfunction I experienced on the 150 mg dose. My doctor lowered my dose back to 75 mg and the sexual dysfunction resolved and my generalized anxiety disorder is within tolerable limits.  I recently added Vitamin D and B12 to my daily regimen with my Effexor 75 mg ER dose and noticed a huge lifting of the mental fog that I had known for so long. This combination has been keeping my thoughts from racing, my hope from tanking and my perspective in a good and positive place. It works for me."


"I am 41 years old. I have been taking Boniva for the last 3 months with no side effects so far. Fingers crossed."


"I have been taking phendimetrazine (Bontril 105 mg) since Sunday, for about 4 days.  The first day I was a little jittery and could not eat anything then I developed a very bad headache but after my body getting over the initial shock it has adjusted to the medicine.  I weighed in on Sunday at 214lbs, today Thursday I am 204. I have lost a whooping 10lbs ... I am so excited about this.  I am watching my diet and I work out like crazy doing Boot Camp, Circuit Training and Cross Fit Training with my trainers.  I started to take the medicine because I was doing all that exercise and my weight was not going down but now the combination of the pill and exercise I am seeing changes.  I am 34 and 5'1."


"I've been using Differin for 5 weeks now.

My skin had seemed to be improving but then all of a sudden the last few days I've had several new break outs.
It's a little frustrating but I'll continue using it as it can take up to 12 weeks for the best results.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed. "


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / pseudoephedrine

"I without a doubt believe this to be the best medicine I have ever used. I would ask for it every time I was sick. Promethazine and codeine cannot compare. This made me feel great after the very first dose and I was able to go to work."


"I was using epiduo for about four days then realized that my face began to burn like I was sticking my face into a fire. So I just ignored it the first day it began to burn and though that maybe it was the soap that I used to clean my face before I applied epiduo, so I used a different soap and applied the face cream and it began to burn even more than before. I then just decided to stop using epiduo and my face continued to burn two days later. I do not recommend for anyone. Horrible experience."


"My GYN put me on LoSeasonique because they were out of regular Seasonique that I normally take. I've been on it for three and a half weeks, yesterday I started very little spotting and today it was just a little heavy, enough that I have to wear a liner. Other than that I have not experienced any other side effects so far. I will admit some of the reviews on here have me a little skeptical.  "


"I have increased energy but this drug has not improved any other postmenopausal symptom.  I am very disappointed."


"I started this when I was 13, for heavy period relief.

Pros- No weight gain, shortened my period from 7-8 to 4-5 days.

Cons- Before Reclipsen, I never had cramps, moodiness, or really ANY period symptoms or PMS, although my period lasted for 7-8 days and was very heavy, it was honestly pretty easy going. After I began Reclipsen, my period was shortened to 4-5 days but it took about 3 days of active pills for it to start, and two of my inactives for it to stop. This hasn't stopped. I started getting cramps, moodiness, and extremely bad PMS. I used to act NO different on my period than off, but since starting Reclipsen it's been much worse."


"I started Qsymia one year and 3 months ago. I was nervous, Because I have taken diet medication before and all have failed.
I started out 269 pounds. I am now 191 pounds . I am on the 11.25-69 MG about to get switched to the last MG.
I have had no side effects.
All I've done is stop drinking cokes all together, and I've limited how much I eat thanks to Qsymia. I feel fuller faster.
I walk more and have more energy since I've lost my weight.
I've got more to lose. I am not giving up."


"Talk about induced anxiety!!! I have NEVER felt so absolutely horrific as I did when using this medication.

My doctor prescribed it one week after shoulder surgery when I was having severe stomach problems and constipation.  I had already stopped taking percocet when I started taking it.  And when I still wasn't pooping.....you guessed it, Doctor prescribed ADDITIONAL dosage!  I was crying, in a state of panic, unable to sleep---I NEVER EVER want to feel this way again.

After reading up on it, you are not supposed to take Movantik if you are NOT TAKING OPIODS!!!!  Thank you for the medically induced anxiety horror show."


"I am diabetic and have itches over several parts of the body. I discovered Lanacane by accident and it works wonders for me. The problem with Lanacane is that body heat makes it melt and it runs off on the bed, in the clothing, etc, therefore the duration on the skin is reduced. Also, I have discovered that with repeated use, the skin became red. I am now applying a generous layer of body powder (talc) over Lanacane. This prevents Lanacane from melting and running off the skin. The duration is about tripled, and there is no more irritated, red skin. The more powder you apply the better. You end up looking like fried chicken but you will feel much much better."


"I have been on Pristiq for one week for major depression and treatment resistant depression.  I take this medicine at night and have had no side effects yet. I have experienced a major lift in my mood, I am laughing a lot more and in general feel pretty well.  It seems to work quickly and I hope added benefit comes with time, I am glad I decided to try it.  I was scared at 1st because SSRI's in general have always let me down, but this being a SSNRI - I think that is the name, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now."


"Okay, I have ONLY ever taken Ortho Tri Cyclin lo birth control on and off (I stopped for four years and had two children) for 10+ years. Imagine my shock and hesitation when I receive this new generic that my insurance covers! I read all these horrible reviews online and even saw where they were off the market pending the settlement of a lawsuit! It was either the free Tri lo sprintec or the $140 brand name! Well, after 5 months on the generic Tri Lo Sprintec I am pleased to report that I have had NO side effects at all! In fact, I use to break out before every cycle on the brand name and after a few months on Tri Lo Sprintec I have a clear complexion all the time! Also, the negative reviews are from before the lawsuit & redistribution 2016"


"After trying many types of AD's my psych put me on brintellix( his Guinness pig) took a good 8 weeks for full effect but has helped my depression tremendously. The only side affect I guess anyone doesn't want that I have is lower sex drive apart from that no others and I feel fantastic, still have anxiety but it is also lower. This has worked for me. Now been 20 weeks"


"This was much better than 12 years ago.  Suprep seemed to work almost immediately for me, and I just parked on the toilet with my iPad!  The taste wasn't that bad and the benefits outweigh this prep thing!"


"Took my first dose today and within an hour I was sicker than I have ever been.  Terrible headache, nausea, flushing of skin.  I have never had an issue with my blood pressure but an hour after the dose my blood pressure was 192/92.  Scared me to death.  Fortunately within the hour it was close to normal.  I ended up in bed all day because the symptoms I was experiencing were so heinous and lasted for over 7 hours.  I could not open my eyes due to the least bit of light was excruciating.  I have never experienced a migraine before.  Also, I had previously taken Wellbutrin (Zyban) to quit smoking 12 years ago and never had any side effects so I had very high hopes for Contrave.  Also, I am not on any other prescription meds."


"I have been on cymbalta for over year, the relief it gave me was a god send. I hated the sweaty side effect, so I stopped taking it for a couple of months, withdrawl was horrible, depression was horrible again. I've been back on it for about two months now and I take 120mg a day along with 300mg welbutrin, I wish I could take more. I wish they would put it in the drinking water so everyone could benefit from the effects."


"I am 65 years old and suffer from diverticulitis. I ended up being hospitalized and did get better but not totally. One day I was in horrible pain and vomited. I had an impaction. The doctor gave me high doses of antibiotics and prescribed miralax. That was a few months ago. I only take as needed as the pain on the left side signals trouble. As long as I don't get constipated, thanks to miralax, I am okay. This stuff works for me. I buy Costco brand since it is cheaper."


"Whenever I try come off this medicine my Rosacea flares up within 10 days to 2 weeks. I am currently attempting to wean the dosage down to 3 times per week, so far it is working."


"I am on day 7 of this antibiotic for a sinus infection.  While my symptoms have all but gone, I still have to keep taking it of course. I noticed a couple of days ago that I was feeling "funny" approximately 2  hours after taking the medicine.  It wasn't like that at first but now I have body aches, headache, chills...kind of reminds me of the flu. "


"Works great for me, but I don't understand why the Dr's won't put me on it."


"My bone Dr gave me this and it gave me great relief  for my lupus arthritis and my rheumy took me off of it like over a year later due to bp issues...6 months
Now I'm a misery my inflammation is rampant and I ask to start taking it again -  fingers crossed. I'm highly sensitive bp wise to prednisone so I can't go up on it:("


"I had been in a severe accident in February 2007 and had compartment syndrome in the accident. I have a right foot drop. I find the mix of Gabapentin and Percocet work very well with the nerve pain as well as lower right leg pain."


"Having been diagnosed with primary chronic insomnia at the age of 13, I have spent my life dealing with the condition.  After serving for 20 years of active duty I found that my condition worsened as time went on.  Now, in my mid-40’s, my condition has come to the point where, without medication, I can, and do, stay awake for 3-4 days on end without difficulty.  Using quetiapine in combination with another medication had turned out to be the only combination that gives me 6-8 hours of solid sleep.  I take 100mg along with my other med and within an hour I am tired enough to go to sleep.  I have had nights where the combination had no effect, but there have been only a dozen or so in the last 5 years"


"I switched to Topamax from Lamictal to see if it would control my bipolar disorder and help me lose weight. My mood and sleep have been incredible and I have lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks on Topamax. I was a little worried about having memory problems but have not suffered this side effect at all. Have a little tingling in my feet at night but not bad enough to stop taking it. Overall I highly recommend this medication for bipolar disorder."


"Prescribed 500 mg twice a day for UTI.  By night four, had the most amazing aches in my left leg from hip through knee particularly.  Halfway through the (sleepless, since it interacts with my usual sleep remedy) night, it switched legs.  A relief in that I didn't have to worry that I was suddenly developing an orthopedic condition.  Day and night five just as bad.  Being careful with exercise so as not to harm a tendon.  Something is going on.  It's cured the UTI so I will stick it out for the five days.  Hope these aches go away after.  Taking Neurontin and a bedtime hydrocodone help, but that makes me useless!  However, a urine culture said my infection was ONLY sensitive to Cipro, so ..."


"This past Wednesday my right nostril was a little sore, figured I was a little overly aggressive with the allergy early morning blowing.  By Friday 3:30 am I woke up to stabbing pain all on the right side of my face!  Swollen and the tissue was HARD, nasal passage (where the infection started) was 3/4 closed!  Today is day 4, my face is pliable again, still a little stiff close to my right nostril, but my lips, cheeks and eyes feel great, nostril very slightly tender in comparison to Wednesday.  This Avelox works only problem I've had is dry mouth (drinking plenty of water) and a little light headed/dizzy, but I'm not driving so that's okay!"


"Taking care of 90 year old m in law has put my life in deep dark depression. I was not able to function, my thinking speech and soul were leaving me more each day. Changing her diapers,and watching her sit idle 12 hours a day was more than I could handle. This med has given me patience,focus & my smile back. I am able to take care of her with a better outlook, and take care of my kids & husband again. It's a blessing and it worked for me in 2 days. My fatigue is gone,my mood is brighter the gloom has gone away. I feel like I'm alive where as before I took it, I felt dead inside & had no hope just wanted to stay in bed. I am grateful to have a normal feeling,it's been a miracle for me.need to appeal ins co.as they don't want to pay."


"Excedrin has always worked for me, but lately its been giving me stomach pain and causing me to get light headed. The pain it causes is not worth it, especially if you have anxiety."


"It helps take away your anxiety plus it helps you sleep too."


"I was put on Biaxin for a major sinus infection. 500 mg twice daily for one month. Pharmacist told me that sinus infections can take a very long time to go away. I definitely feel better but am still having the runny nose, congestion and a little cough still but much less than before. It's been 3 weeks now since I was put on this. Hope it kicks it out of my system. "


"I've been using Ziana for since 2/2016 and this product has done wonders for me. I'm in my mid thirties and have never suffered from acne until the last few years. I'd get these painful "under the skin" bumps that I'd unfortunately squeeze (LEAVE THEM ALONE! Bothering them will only irritate them). I couldn't take it anymore so I visited my dermatologist and he prescribed me Ziana gel. For the first week you will only use it every other day to get your skin use to it. After the first week, use it just before bed. Do not use it until nighttime because the gel oxidizes with sun exposure. Your skill will only be oily for a few months and it helps w/ dark spots. Remember less is best... Use ONLY a pea size or slightly smaller! Good luck!!!"


"Great wonder drug have lost a massive 7 pounds in 2 weeks on this drug. Was 17 stone 4. The weight is still dropping off. Have been put on this as have other medical issues and was putting weight on like no tomorrow. On it for a total over time of 8 weeks my GP wants me down to 14 stone. Great drug with no side effects reported."


"People, be careful with Ambien. I was put on Ambien 10 mg back in late 2014, I recently stopped the medication told turkey. It's been a week since I quit, I have been having severe withdrawal. Nightmares, night sweats, and frequent urination are the most occurring symptoms I have been dealing with. Doctors seldom tell patients about drug withdrawals, which is why I am suffering from these problems. So, be careful before you take a new prescribed medication."


"So far love it....don't have to worry about remembering to take the pill. Hardly ever get my period, but just dislike the weight gain."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"I took this medication for only 3 weeks for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. (Diagnosed 15 years ago, medication free for the last 11years).  My only active symptom at the time was Raynaud's. I really did not want to take any medication, and felt that improving my lifestyle/keeping warm was worth a try,  but my (new) rheumatologist pushed it and said he would discharge me if I didn't take it. All my other tests (lung function, heart scan, bloods) were fine. What a mistake. It did not help my Raynaud's, but did cause huge hives from my neck to my ankle. My last dose was May 25th, it is now August 9th and these unsightly hives continue to come and go. With such a long half life (up to 50 days) it will take over 18 months to fully eliminate it"


"I got Implanon in July of 2009. A week later, I started my period which was far heavier than I normally get. I bled for the next month, but after that? Nothing! That is a blessing seeing as I have endometriosis and my periods were /extremely/ painful. I have a bit more acne than before and I think I've gained a little weight, but all-in-all... I'm thankful. I'm pretty happy with it."


"About a 2 months ago I started having severe abdominal pain, my doctor started me on Norcos and now for the first time in two months I feel normal again. I am able to control my pain and now I can live my life relatively pain free."


"I had severe hot flashes and within 2 days of taking pristiq they stopped completely - I am not kidding."


"This was the absolute worst medication i have ever taken. What a nightmare!! To begin with I was taking Duloxetine 60 mg 1x a day, Wellburtin  Xl 300mg 1x a day, Valium 10mg 3x a day, morphine 30 mg 2x a day oxycodone 20mg 4x a day. I was doing just fine or do I thought. I had a change of Doctors, due to the fact that my Doctor left this practice. Not sure the reason for this medication. Never Again!!  After starting that medication once it really got in my system, my worst fear came to reality. I totally went outside my mind to the point my daughter was so scared of my behavior she called the EMS. Upon arrival at the ER, after blood work was told I was overly medicated. Never Never Again!!! Awful!!"


"Post op foot pain. Not effective to address pain.  Mild side effects: dry mouth, skin feels charged and I am unable to stay asleep due to weird dreams that seem to just "pop" into my head.  First day on medicine, I'll call Doctor tomorrow hope he will give me something different."


"I had Mirena placed 6 months ago to control excessive bleeding during periods.  I am 38 and have had one child.

The placement was extremely painful for me even with taking 800 mg of ibuprofen prior to the procedure.  That being said, I have friends who have had it placed with no more pain than what you'd expect during a pap smear.  It all depends on the person.

My periods are tremendously lighter, to the point that I can almost get by with only a liner. So Mirena has served its purpose.  On the down side, I spot frequently between periods, have reoccurring yeast infections, mild acne, less sex drive, and mood swings.  My orgasms are no where near as intense as they used to be and I frequently get mild cramping and lower backaches."


"Thank God for plan b! After stressing for two weeks, my cycle finally came on!"


"I want to begin this by saying that I rarely write reviews about anything.  I think the only other things I have written a review over was a cabin in Gatlinburg TN, and for one of the thousands of things I have purchased off of Amazon.. lol.  Needless to day, for me to write a review, this product must have made a huge impression on me!

I started taking contrave on Memorial day 2016 (May 30th), the first few weeks I lost about 12 lbs, that's an average of 4 lbs/week! After that I seemed to hit a small plateau, and only lost like 1-1.5 lbs average per week for the next two weeks, bringing my total to 15 lbs by July 4th.  It is now July 19th, and I have officially hit the 20lb mark!! bringing my weekly average back up to about 2.5 lbs!"


"Rapid improvement in red areas on neck, chest and elbows."


"I have been so sick since becoming pregnant, vomiting several times per day. Initially, I was given zofran, but the minute it would wear off I'd start vomiting again. My Dr switched me to Diclegis a few days ago and I feel great! No vomiting, No nausea, and I'm not worried about the potential problems that extended use of zofran could cause anymore. "


"Chronic neck spasms and resulting headaches as well as sinus headaches.  Works fairly well if taken ASAP.  The caffiene content can keep you awake though."


"I wasI was on many medications it didn't work until my doctor prescribe xanax to milligrams 4 times a day what a godsend. I found the other medications like klonopin didn't work as effectively. I couldn't go to work without having a panic attack or in a situation with the family. people don't understand life can be tough go with the proper medication you can become better. I was on Zoloft it didn't work so the doctor prescribed me xanax which was very helpful. people should ask your doctor for a prescription I have severe anxiety it will help.I've been on it for 2 years and it's been very helpful. I hope people see the light and try it has a bad reputation but it is it wonder drug."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"28 year old, first colonoscopy prep.

even though it tasted gross, it was the worst part about it. I started drinking a lot of water the day before the prep (didn't eat less though). Took 3 laxatives the night before as instructed by my doctor the night before as well.

took first round at 5pm. Took the whole hour to drink plus the 32oz of water. Felt really full & had to try a little not to throw up due to the sweet/salty taste. But I took my time.

second round at 10pm. Was easier to get down (maybe I was more prepared for the taste).

the thing I was most worried about was cramping and I had none. So that was cool."


"ok"


"I gave it exactly a year. I'm giving it up because 1. I'm seemingly too busy to have sex and 2. Too busy to remember to take them. I noticed my hair thinning out in the first few months, but my skin was a lot clearer. My cramps went away and my period became shorter and lighter. I'm naturally very small, but have been able to gain weight before (though slowly). Since on the pill I've been dropping pounds that I can't afford to. Mood swings were not as bad on this pill as when I was on ortho trycyclen low. I think I'm going to take a break and see how my body reacts."


"I have been on trazodone for over a month now. Started out on 100mg now on 150mg it has been heaven sent for me a few nights. Got in bed forgot to take it tossed and turn until I got up and take it, was asleep within mins. Never been fond of taking pills but had to try something also on Cymbalta 30mg."


"Metozolv OTC is very easy to take as it melts immediately on your tongue. It does seems to help with some of the gastroparesis symptoms but does not completely eliminate them. However my biggest concern is side effects it causes. After one month of use I noticed by breast becoming larger, painful, and lactating upon touch. (No I'm not a candidate for pregnancy!). I'm sure all medicines have their issues but the lactating definitely concerns me. I must add Metozolv is very costly."


"I was in the DEEPEST pit of depression. I felt that it was hormonal. Had labs drawn and was shown to be in menopause. Had a hysterectomy which left me with one ovary. The depression started this year in March and spiralled out of control. I was seriously deciding whether or not to stick around not because I didn't want to live, but the mental pain was too much. I noticed in a study of women that were treated successfully for severe hormonal depression using premarin and mirtazipine. Within 24 hours the depression was GONE GONE GONE! I believe it is mostly the premarin because ADs take longer than that to work. I want to start a campaign for the horses that are being treated to poorly. Why can't we get this from pg. humans and pay them?"


"Undress. Stand in shower. Apply generous amount of selenium sulfide. Use firm bristle bath brush . Scrub affected area then shower away lotion. Fast results. About a week tinea versicolor is removed. This product is liquid brown/ beige color. Not to be confused with hair shampoo Selsun blue."


"The most reliable and consistent ADHD CNS I've ever taken! Their new instant release tablets they came out with recently, are really great. Instead of taking the usual four salts (Adderall), you have one (Dextroamphetamine Sulfate). My grades and focus went up about 30 percent after taking these on right dose. I've been stuggling with ADHD since I was 6 yro. Also, I take 30mg x 3 per day. I always joke with friends that dexy makes me feel sexy."


"We have a 8 year old who we adopted from foster care last year.  He was diagnosed with ADHD soon after.  He was put on Concerta.  We saw definite improvement.  But early this year, he started exhibiting increased symptoms of ADHD.  He could not fall asleep until late so we used Melatonin.  His doctor started him on Kapvay about 5 weeks ago.  We started seeing a great improvement the first week because he fell asleep without Melatonin and started getting 10 hours of sleep.  The second week we added the morning dose.  Mornings immediately became incredible.  We no longer needed check lists for him.  The teacher said he still needed better focus so he is now on .3mg.  He is doing incredibly well.  His doctor is going to ween him down on Concerta."


"Stopped smoking 6 days ago without the anxiety I usually get while trying to quit."


"So I just started taking these pills on last Wednesday and they took my weight and it was 198"


"Keppra XR returned my life to normal.  Excellent medication for Epilepsy/seizures."


"I use the Mylan patches and Fentanyl Citrate Nasal Spray. It is the best pain medicine I have taken and I have been on almost everything."


"Doctor prescribed this for treatment-resistant psych condition, including post traumatic stress disorder. This medication is significantly reduced both nightmares and flashbacks."


"I promised myself I would write a review about this as all these reviews sometimes don't have the ending result which scared me even more the more I read. I took the pills within 6 hours (the condom broke) on March 7. Don't take this til you're at home as it made me feel nauseous and dizzy for about 24 hours. Take it and go to bed if you can. 4 days later on the 11th of march  I had a heavier spotting for 6 days! And then finally on the 23rd I got my period which was 4 days early in my cycle but it works! Don't stress too much about it if you take it soon enough!"


"Why i give a rating of 6 for xanax and depression: I think the help xanax has to offer is enabling your racing thoughts and anxiety to subside long enough to get the good rest/sleep we need just to feel sane. Subsequently, decreasing depression & overwhelmness in our lives. Good luck to all!"


"Hi, I have given the medicine 5 out of 10 although I am yet to take it.

I was originally taking 150 mg of venlafaxine a day which really helped with my anxiety, the only problem was the side effects. Every night I would wake in a pool of sweat which no matter how much I showered or bathed would have a strong smell to it. We had to constantly wash and replace duvet covers, sheets etc... I had no problem with sexual desire but maintaining an erection and staying interested was a problem. I ended buying kamagra online and found just an 8th of the tablet (dissolvable) would work wonders. I spoke to the doctor and he changed the medication to citalopram which I found the transition period fine but no way as effective as the venlafaxine"


"I have been on Contrrave 3 weeks now.  I started taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm, then increased to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm.  I was always nauseous, but it would go away after a day or 2.  I have been on the 4 pill dose for a week, but it's made me so nauseous, I decided to cut back to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm and see if that helps.  I have not weighed myself (scale is not working), but will get weighed when I go back to the doctor on June 1st.  It doesn't really make me feel any differently other than the nausea, but that is preventing me from eating a lot.  It does help if I eat something small first thing in the morning, but I feel so sick, I don't want to.  I'm hoping cutting back for a week will help."


"I use Depakote 500 mg twice daily, and felt improvement in the first 10 days, my mood is stable and my severe anxiety has disappeared. Also I see improvement in OCD and I now can better focus. I'm also on Seroquel 100mg twice daily."


"Two years on it. Now having liver issues. Colon on recent colonoscopy was clear. Endoscopy showed esophageal varicies stage 1. Fiberscore Labs showed stage 4 fibrosis.  Fiberscan the same. Fatigue, general and gut pain continues. Weight is stable  but can't gain. Energy low.  May need a med break."


"My insurance switched me to Tri Lo Sprintec about a month and a half ago w/out me knowing. I decided to give it a shot since it was free and I was paying $100/month for Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo previously. On OTCL for 2 years, I had no negative side effects, which was a relief after trying everything under the sun (most recently microgestin fe, which made me incredibly depressed). The 1.5 months, since I have been on TLS, ALL of these negative side effects: Irritability, depression, weight gain, depression, headaches, lethargy...you name it, I have it. I am SO upset that I finally found something that worked and insurance dictates what pill I should take. I'm speaking with my Dr to fix my Rx ASAP.  Not staying on TLS no matter what."


"I have smoked for over 25 years. I loved to smoke. I had no intentions to stop.  My 10 year old daughter came home one day and told me there are over 4,000 harmful chemicals in cigarettes. - why do you smoke Momma??? My doctor prescribed Chantix and now I'm on my 83rd day of not smoking. I don't even think about it. I only used 6 weeks of the pills. The 2nd dosage made me sick to my stomach, so I didn't take it as prescribed. The only side effect was crazy, odd dreams."


"Works as should."


"I have bipolar II, cycle up in spring and major depressive in the fall. I have tried lamictal, great drug but got the rash, geodon, ok but felt like I was drunk, latuda, got the jaw pain whitch was awful. Ability seems to help with the overwhelming agitation I get in the spring time. I hope it is as good in the fall for my depression phase."


"I absolutely love this medication. Works really fast, I didn't leave me with any side effects, and makes me feel better within a few hours! I will never take another medication for a urinary tract infection again besides this one!"


"My sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia at  about 29 after a third suicide attempt and full blown nervous breakdown.   She was eventually placed in a state mental institution for ten years.  She only got out due to Clozaril.  They tried it on three patients through the national institute of health in Washington, DC.  She was released to a halfway house within three months.  Although she is still very ill, she remains on this medicine for approximately 23 or more years.  "


"Sorry . . Continued. . Started taking phentermine 37.5 and b12 shot once a week on 02/20/15. Started @ 225lbs and size 18. By 03/20/15 I am down to a 16 and weight is 213! My weight is coming off a little slower than most Lol but I've always had to work harder for my results, the reason I started this medication. But I am very pleased because I workout and eat healthy anyway so this is only an aid for me. W/o this med I would not have lost this much so soon. On my own with a strict diet and working out everyday I only lost 8 lbs in 6 weeks. Only side effect is I'm getting bumps on my face, shoulders, back, and chest. Sometimes can't sleep @ night, and occasionally dry mouth. I can deal with those! Feeling great! Will update in 30 days!!!!!!"


"I have had severe anxiety for a couple of years. My attacks get so bad, I feel I need to run as far away as I can. Taking Lorazepam 3mg a day has been a tremendous help. I have read comments about going off the medicine and the difficult withdrawls, but if something works in your personal lifestyle where nothing else has, why shouldn't you be able to stay on this medication as long as you need it? It's like high blood pressure. If you have it and can't get it under control, medications are key. No one starts telling you that you should stop the medication.
For some, Lorazepam is a lifesaver. Maybe not for everyone, but for me, in my situation it is."


"I started taking Phentermine C, on 2/4/2016. I weighed 153lbs and as of today 4/21/2016 I weigh 138lbs. I was diagnosed with PCOS and me insulin levels were off the chart to include my hormones. I am also a type 2 diabetic. I am physically active and I intake about 1,400 calories a day with protein being 45% and carbs at 35% and fat 20%. I have lost 6.4% of body fat as well."


"Pamelor works great for anxiety panic attacks. It calms you down and helps you to be able to think clearly to calm yourself down. You need to make sure that your doctor is giving you the proper mg amount for your panic attack disorder. I will not stop taking this. I highly recommend this for people to try."


"Best method to cure panic forever."


"I purchased the 3 day prefilled applicators. Today is day 3 and I had ZERO burning or irritation from the cream and felt relief from the YI the morning after the first dose."


"In the beginning I had some diarrhea and belly issues...that subsided after a few days. I only have one reaction to it now and that is I get an itchy hive at the injection site about 12 hours after I use it. It goes away within a few hours, I'm not worried. It has lowered my HA1C's like a charm. I LOVE this injection, I feel fuller longer, I no longer crave sugar, I've lost 25 pounds without really trying and I have no side effects at all. One tip...to ease the burn of the shot I put it in a cup of warm water so it comes up past room temperature. Also I use the coupon on the website to pay for it."


"I started taking this medication a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that seems to be putting me in pain every day.  I did not know if it was a side effect of the medication or my illness that gave me such horrible headaches (not quite a migraine, but pretty close).  I was off the medication for 4 weeks in that time--no headache; but the depression came back.  I got back on it.  The headaches are back now, I don't have energy, I have to take a nap everyday to function the rest of the day; and the chronic pain persists. "


"Works the best ive tried all types of sleep aids and doxy is the best and over the counter :)"


"First of all, unless Strattera is seriously messing with your brain, you should really be patient and keep taking it to see if it really works. I thought several times about quitting, but since I have been fighting depression and ADHD my whole life, why not give it another month to take effect? I started a month at 25mg, a month at 40mg, and about 2 weeks at 80mg. Wow, have things really taken off for me! I am getting so much done at home and am motivated to get a job again! The one downside is the cost. Seriously? My insurance won't cover it so my 80mg prescription was almost $500! To combat nausea, take with food always! It may interact with vitamins too, so take those at the opposite time of day. Most side effects went away after 2 wks."


"I have been on Adipex since the beginning of December and my starting weight was 271 and as of Thursday I weighed in at 246. I am very pleased with my weight loss and very disappointed in myself to have reached a whopping 270. I guess it's better late than never. I do experience some side effects which includes dry mouth and constipated at times. When this happens I drink even more water and drink a swig of vinegar..it usually helps. I have not incorporated exercise in my plan yet but plan to start next week.   I wanted to get the diet down pact first..I do recommend this pill for anyone that has a lot of weight to lose!"


"Works great"


"Good:

Hasn't worsened my memory like Lexapro and it actually has improved it.

Still causes emotional blunting but not as badly as Lexapro.

Lowered my anxiety and improved mood...but so has other SSRIs.

Bad:

Lowered my motivation to same level as Lexapro.

Not helping with my low arousal, mental energy and motivation. Cymbalta worked the best for mental energy and motivation.

I prefer Brintellix over Lexapro but Cymbalta worked best for me overall. However, Brintellix has improved my memory more so than Lexapro/Cymbalta which has been very helpful to me."


"I WAS SCARED TO TAKE CIPRO. I REALLY FREAK OUT WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATION. But I did with the support of friends and it works great for urinary tract infections with the first dose. I do have heartburn and gas but I'm still taking it and I will add a Zantac and Gas X tomorrow. "


"Thanx to Paxil I'm still here to type this comment, it saved my life. I was started on 20mg but had to go up to 40mg (max dose) for about 3 years after which I was slowly dropped down to 20mg, then right down to 10mg, which I was on for awhile then down to 5mg and eventually went off the medication. The times I did miss my dosage it was usually the second day when the zaps started along with the feeling of vertigo. The half life of this medicine is very short about 3 days that's why people feel withdrawal symptoms so quickly but I've found quite tolerable for the good it has done for me. A wonderful medication!"


"Headaches, dizziness, and nausea so bad I want to stay in bed but can't because I also have trouble breathing after I take it."


"My son has been on Clozaril for 3 years. He was dx with Bipolar when he was just 6 years old.  He had literally been on every anti-psychotic drug until his 7th hospItal stay, his regular psychiatrist and the hospital's Dr decided to try this medicine. As far as his psychosis it has been a wonder drug. But physically, Clozaril is destroying his body. In the  first 6 months, he was dx with asthma. The worst of his problems that developed in the past 9 months has been GI and liver. He now has severe ensephagitis, gastritis, 4 ulcers and NAFLD (fatty liver disease). He has also gained over 50 lbs. Not just teenage pounds. I was also told when he started the Clozaril, it isn't really approved for patients under 18. Too late now."


"I have been dealing with Crohn's Disease for around ten years now and I was only properly diagnosed 2 yrs ago. I have received Remicade infusions every four weeks for the last year and it has made a very significant improvement in my everyday life. I no longer need to take pain meds to get through the day and my energy levels are closer to normal then they have been in years. Before Remicade it had got to the point where I could barely walk due to lower back and hip pain all related to Crohn's."


"I decided to switch from the pill to Mirena because I was not great at remembering to take the pill and I am 21 and not ready to have a baby, so I wanted something I could not forget to take. I went online and read reviews and almost did not go through with it because even though there were some great reviews, the bad ones terrified me, especially because I had a lot of problems on multiple birth control pills before (depression, mood swings, sore breasts, etc). The initial procedure for me was not bad at all, and the pain was less than a normal period cramp. Since then I have had no pain and no adverse side effects, and I have nothing but great things to say. So much better than the pill, and honestly the best decision I have made about bc"


"Within the first few days of starting Savella the pain in my arms and legs had disappeared and I was more alert during the day.  I had slight nausea and sadness as I completed the titration process, but these symptoms did eventually go away.   One of the best things that happened during this time was that my weight stabilized after steadily gaining for 6 months due to the constant exhaustion.  Unfortunately my neck and back pain initially worsened but returned to my personal base line after a few weeks.  This pain has not gone away, but stayed with me.  My only problem may be something unique to me - It took away my drive to be active.  I finally have the energy, but now have no desire.  Wish I knew how to work this out."


"it is just a magic. it takes you back to the time you had never smoked..."


"Chewing Tobacco, yep, it is working for this too!  I was pessimistic because there is not much info in the way of chew/dip.  Marketing and reviews are highly aimed toward smoking/smokers.  I chewed days 1-7 and stopped day 8 as indicated for smokers.  Not a single dip since.  Craving is at most once per day, but is gone within 30 seconds.  I have been on Chantix x 13 days and look forward to being a former dipper (forever).  The downside for me is transient nausea.  Not enough to even think about stopping this miracle medicine.  As a healthcare professional myself, reading the mechanism of action really makes sense.  I just hope that all my nicotinic receptors forget that I have dipped since I was 11 years old.  Just give it a shot..It works!"


"About 3 months ago out of no where I had a severe panic attack and was rushed to hospital thinking it was a heart attack which it was not but the next day I woke up with severe anxiety, it was horrible. I tried natural remedies but nothing worked and was afraid of SSRIs because of the side effects, after some research I asked to try Buspar,  it took over 2 months and playing with the dosage, I take 10 mg morning, 7.5mg afternoon and night time. I finally feel like the constant dialogue in my head is settled down to a point where I can function,  hoping it just gets better from here on in. I have had no side effects at all,  it may take a while for this medicine to work but stick with it. I think it's worth it."


"I've had this birth control for 2 years now and want it out so bad!  I'm super moody and my sex drive has gone way down.  My boyfriend for 5 years has noticed me not really into it anymore.  I got the Implanon when I was 17 and now I'm almost 20.  I was very active so my doctor told me to not worry about a period it shouldn't come back until I get it out. Wrong! I have been bleeding since the day I got it in. I will get a few months with no period, then maybe spotting for like 4 days. Sometimes I'll bleed for one day. The worst is the long heavy periods. Every 2-3 months I'll get a period for about 20-25 days. Right now I'm bleeding and it's my 22 day of non stop.  It works for not getting you pregnant though."


"Omg so I took the pills. But I did eat some panera bread before I took them. Currently writing this while I'm on the toilet! My butt  burns bad! I didn't throw up but I felt like it. But I did run to the toilet. Thought I was done. I showered and laid down. And them BOOM! Back on the toilet. "


"Please keep in mind when reading these reviews that every person is different and every experience with medication is unique. I have been on Nuvaring for a little over 1 year. I loved it for the convenience of not needing to remember to take a pill daily. However, I did notice the "belly bloat" about 6-7 months into taking it. I was almost concerned I was pregnant. I have always been lean, and I'm in my mid 20s. My weight and size are fairly consistent. Now, I'm at 12 months in (definitely not pregnant by the way) and I finally am noticing an overall weight gain in addition to my belly bloat. Total, about 10-15 lbs. I loved this method but my self confidence is suffering, so I am stopping (and hoping I see a change, as I am very active!)."


"I've been on Brisdelle 8 days and I feel like a new woman. No hot flashes in 5 days, my mood is MUCH better, no night sweats and no crying. I hope it last...I'm so glad my doctor prescribed this."


"I received my 2nd shot yesterday. I've been a heavy opiate mostly heroin IV user for 13 years I was put in jail for 14 days to clean out for my 1st shot. Immediately after the shot I had no cravings. I was put on xanax for anxiety cuz its been super high. I have acne due to the shot. I get leg cramps. It saved my life"


"I was taking 60mg same time every day. It seemed to work better at controlling my GERD symptoms after about a month. But around the same time I developed debilitating diarrhea. I continued to take it for another month and the diarrhea didn't go away so I stopped taking it. It's only been a couple of days so far and it still hasn't gotten any better."


"I was terrified when Midrin was discontinued.  This was the medicine that replaced it, and I hoped it did just as well as Midrin did at knocking down the headaches.  It did!  I am terribly sensitive to caffeine, but the amount in this didn't cause a reaction in me.  I didn't notice much of any side effects other than a little fluffy-headedness.  Normally my migraines last a few days, and in the course of a headache episode I could take 30 or more Tylenol.  I usually take one Esgic as soon as my headache starts and that's the end.  One pill and hardly any discomfort, compared to 30 or more Tylenol that barely mask the pain."


"I have been taking Levora for about a year and a half now. It was definitely a rough start. I felt moody, like crazy moody, every single day for about a month when I started it. After that first month, it was smooth sailing. I love that it regulates my period. It comes on the same day, at the same time, every month (not to mention it only lasts 2-3 days and is super light!). I have experienced no weight gain and the only cramps I get are the day before my period, and the pain there is mild. Its a great option if you don't mind taking it every day. Oh, and did I mention it has done its job in preventing pregnancy."


"After battling the bottle for 30 years I am so Grateful that I found this. I tried everything from AA to SMART Recovery and to be honest while each program has it's good points they did not take away that urge to drink. This did. Instantly. Vivitrol has really been a blessing because it not only blocks the urge to use but it goes the extra step of blocking the high if you do drink  I was just a Garden variety alcoholic. I drank around the clock. I would even drink in the shower. The funny thing is I never bought into the disease model even while I was sober for years at a stretch. I would eventually pick up a drink because the urge, that voice, the Beast was always there. Not anymore! Vivitrol stopped the brain imbalance that MADE me drink."


"I am 27 yrs old and I've been trying to get pregnant since February 2012. My last menstrual period was March 23, 2012 and I never had period after that. I've been going to my Obgyn for the past 4 months and finally she prescribed me Provera for 10 days once a day pill. And i decided to use ovulation predictor kit 10 days before I took my 1st pill last June 13.2012. On my 3rd day of taking my pill my ovulation predictor went positive it gave me a smiley face. On my 4th day of Provera I experienced a very weird dreams, hot flashes, PMS, backache, a little dizzy. I had my last pill June 22, Friday and this is my 3 day off of it. I'm hoping that I could get my period soon so that way I can start taking Clomid. "


"Trinessa was great at first! I have always had pretty good skin and it has not altered that. I did not gain weight and my period was lighter. Unfortunately, I experienced a lot more cons than pros. First, I noticed that I was unable to control my blood pressure. It was to the point where I almost needed pills for my blood pressure and I have never had problem previously. Aside from the blood pressure I was over emotional. I'm a very outgoing person but I found it hard to be around others these past few months because I was annoying! I cried about everything. I was supremely jealous if my friends hung out without me, and I'm never like that. I would get sad in the middle of the day or night with no explanation. I feel a tremendous change after stopping"


"Accutane has been a miracle drug for me. I have not had a single pimple since the 2nd month of treatment, and I've been off it for just under a month. My acne, like others, was horrible before Accutane. Another thing to note, I had virtually zero side-effects, just a little bit of dryness around my mouth and lips. It was NOTHING like the horror stories you read about on the web. Just brush your lips with a toothbrush in the morning and at night and put some aquaphor/lip balm on after and you'll be fine for the whole day. I also always ate tons of healthy fats (grass-fed butter and meat, eggs, organic full-fat dairy, coconut butter, avocados, olive oil, macadamia nuts, and natural peanut butter) with my Accutane, so that may have helped too."


"This was a big change in life with 50 mg taken at night for one week then went to 25mg in am.   It's been 6 months and things are great.   I take also First Nutrients Nutrivie a natural plant base every day with 5 oz of water and that has been the best thing for depression and anxiety!    I wish more people new!   It gives you your life back.   Hoping everyone can feel good again."


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD in the 2nd grade and her doctor and I discussed different medications and settled on Concerta. Grades were never a problem, but behavior and socialization were. She hated the medication and would spit it out or hide it. It gave her headaches, loss of appetite and sleep loss. Eventually she began taking it regularly and began to do well in school. The behavior problems ceased as well as socialization. She took this medication for about 2 years and then I decided to pull her off. Her teacher didn't even notice and thought she was still taking the medication because she was so well adjusted and presented no serious issues. She never took meds again and learned to cope. She has ADHD but manages it other ways."


"I have been taking this medication for a few years.  I'm not pregnant and my periods are predictable and relatively painless.  I haven't gained weight and my skin is good, but my sex drive is completely gone.  It's hurting my relationship with my husband."


"I was treated for clinical depression from age 18-40 using a variety of medications. I've also struggled with alcoholism, drug and sex addiction most of my adult life. I had a period of six years' solid sobriety beginning in the mid 90's but, even sober, battled with diagnosed clinical depression. At that time I was being treated with Serzone. The more the doctor increased the dosage the more depressed I would become. I obsessed on failed relationships, acted out sexually and financially in very risky ways. I finally changed Psychiatrists at the suggestion of my Therapist. The new doctor analyzed my symptoms and indicated that I had been misdiagnosed with clinical depression. His prognosis was Bipolar II Disorder accompanied by acute depression"


"I have been on Tri-Sprintec every single day, nonstop for about 6 or 7 years now. I have never really had any problems with it until now. I feel like it has been the cause of major migraines and headaches for the past year. I also feel like it is starting to cause slight anxiety and panic attacks. I am tired of my moods changing and feeling panicky and worried and anxious and I know its this pill. Maybe it's because I've been on it so long? Don't know. I am thinking about switching to an IUD.  Other than the symptoms I am starting to feel now, I never had an issue the first few years on it. I actually felt great until now."


"Within 1 week of taking 1 tablet , my auditory hallucinations had nearly disappeared and then increased the amount to 1 1/2 tablets and was and am amazed this product. Its giving me my life back again......"


"So disappointed!!! I truly feel this did not work as well as the OTC med I was taking and at least the nighttime version had a sleep aid. Coughed for 3 solid hrs when I went to bed till my body just seemed to give up. Tonight I will just take my nighttime OTC product. Highly disappointed!!"


"I was getting migraines so badly I couldn't speak, it was happening so often it was affecting my job and life. I also suffered from headaches everyday for three years solid.. My doc gave me a prescription for nortriptyline and I haven't had a headache since, I sleep well, I wake up alert, my life has changed so much because of this medicine. It's cheap and effective and it's given in such a low dose for migraine prevention, that I didn't have to suffer any of the symptoms."


"I took it before going to bed 11pm and woke up around 3am with excruitiang back pain and stomach pain. I was literally on the floor breathing like I was in active labor. The pain was getting worse by the second and then I started sweating so badly that my pj's and hair were literally soaked and it was dripping off of my face and chest. I couldn't tell if I was going to throw up, poop or if I was having a legit heartattack. I couldn't even yell for help to my sleeping husband because I was in so much pain. I was honestly scared at this point because I've taken Exlax and never had this sort of reaction. I started to push and massage my abdomen which helped alleviate a little bit of the pain/cramping that I was having."


"Have been using this medication since I was 10 year old. I am now 16 years old."


"I started taking Propranolol 4 months ago for Migraines primarily as well as high blood pressure. I am 5'1" and weigh 106lbs and have not experienced any weight gain. It bothers me that people say they gain weight from a pill.  Unless that pill is increasing your appetite it just can't happen.  Weight gain is natural science.  What you put in opposed to what you expend.  You can not be seditary and not gain weight.  The migraines are gone as well as the blood pressure.  All and all I think it is an excellent drug except for the fact my sex drive is not very good."


"Was so excited to try Effexor XL and did for the past 6 years.  Well, I didn't realize that it made me anhedonia, or without feeling towards a lot of things.  I just went on my merry way, but would do nothing....sat and watched TV, couldn't get anything done.  Everything was just Great!.....that is what I thought....then I started gaining weight......gradually, but I mean 60-70# over the past 6 years or so.....but just kept on eating.   Then I thought I have to do something about this.  I gradually took myself off, but WOW the side effects of the withdrawl was unbelievable.  My son told me never to do that again...and I told him see.....this medication has so changed me.....and I will never take that again....!Trying to lose this weight now"


"I started prestiq on Tuesday July 5th 2016 again. And I have lost 9lbs already. I feel less depressed however I've been on it before and I will warn you do not skip taking it. The withdrawals are HELL!!"


"I wish I could echo all the positive stories mentioned in this string of comments but...I have had some inconvenient side effects including: double vision, fatigue (even with regular exercise, somewhat healthy diet, and a healthy amount of sleep each night) and major hostility, particularly with those close to me.  Maybe my dosage isn't right but I am not sure I want to stick with it.  I take it in addition to a fairly low dose of Lamictal."


"I took two cycles of Contrave  unfortunately

It did not help me to lose weight at all."


"my husband was put on this drug for anxiety and depression. He started on 5mg then went up to 10 mg but then they put it up to 30 mg and he started getting very aggressive not sleeping at night and he has got a lot wosre than he ever was.. hospital took him off this drug and also said that they had had some complaints about this."


"I have spent a lot of time and so many trial an errors with birth controls. I swear I tried them all! A girl I worked with went on the Implanon and told me how much she hated it and everything negative. I did a lot of research and thought I would give it a try. Everyone's experience is different so you cannot base yours on someones experience! I got the Implanon in September and its November now. I for the first time in my LIFE can say I have light periods, minimum to no cramping, zero mood swings and my sex drive is normal! Everything I haven't been able to say since I was 16yrs old. I'm truly glad I did it! On small negative though I have been spotting for about 3 1/2 weeks now. Its nothing major at all, barely anything but enough to notice. I'm definitely ready for this to end."


"My son started this 8 weeks ago. It has been a miracle. He has ADHD, BIPOLAR 2, ODD, and being tested for TBI. This has made his impulsivity manageable . We have had no side effects. We have stayed at 2 mg. We are on quite a few other medicines also. But since we have started this medicine we have not had any CPEP visits or inpatient stays. Prior to this medicine in 1 year we had 6 inpatients and 12 CPEP. His other medicines worked but we could not stop his impulse factor which was putting his life in danger. I have my son back we can actually have a conversation again."


"I have struggled with stomach issues my entire life. I started viberzi 3 weeks ago and it has been great. I do have some side effects though. Constipation  and gas lead to some abdominal cramps, but nothing like before. I experience a muscle "soreness/achiness" in the back of my neck and arms about 30 minute after I take each dose, but it only lasts a short while. Nothing that is really bothersome. Viberzi has given me a life I never had. I can leave my house and travel without any nervousness over being sick and I also have been able to be more productive at work. I am so excited to have found something to help me live a normal life."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for about 10 months now.  At first the side effects were difficult because I felt nauseous, dizzy, had brain zaps, constipation, and my dreams were crazy.  Luckily I did not quit within the first 2 weeks and the side effects mostly subsided.  Cymbalta has really helped with my anxiety and depression.  I was on 30mg then 60mg.  The first couple months were the best with no anxiety at all but slowly it started to come back. My dose has just been raised to 90mg and am also on Wellbutrin.  Not perfect and I don't want to keep raising the dose but Cymbalta has really improved my daily life and relationships with others."


"I was extremely hungover and was vomiting for about 14 hours non-stop before being prescribed Zofran. I know it seems silly to get medication for a hangover, but I was becoming dangerously dehydrated from the binge drinking and heavy vomiting, as I was unable to keep even a sip of water down. Not even ten minutes after taking the medicine (dissolvable pills), I already felt significant relief from the nausea, and therefore the vomiting as well. A bit expensive, but completely worth it."


"I've been taking fluoxetine (Sarafem) for PMDD for about 8 years now.  I just recently was upped from 10 to 20 mg after symptoms of PMDD started to come back.  That jump in dosage was enough to get me back on track and feeling better. I recommend this drug for sufferers of PMDD."


"Ocella was the first contraceptive birth control I tried, and I thought I was going crazy because of its side effects. As a generally happy and healthy woman, I was so confused and lost as to why I'd suddenly turned into someone that couldn't stand to get out of bed, I cried ALL THE TIME. It could be the tiniest of things that would elicit tears, but it was constant. I shut almost everyone but my boyfriend at the time out, and was so depressed I didn't even know what to do. This lasted 6 months before my mom forced me to stop it, of which I am very thankful for. Ocella made me a different person, sure, it did it's job in keeping me from getting pregnant, but the girl it made me into is not worth that protection. "


"I must say, having tried Lidoderm gel, lidocaine patches, and many others. I have to be honest, these patches are amazing, I got a real mad torn meniscus & was in unbearable pain. Pain meds didn't even help, but this patch was amazing in it's effectiveness. I got a sample from my pain management Dr., & just decided to use it thinking it can't hurt, so glad I did, MIRACLES. Note: the pain med was only Lortab but it most definitely aided in the dealing with of the pain.
The only draw back, which was a big one, but pain is under control but you cannot mix other NSAID w/ this like Advil, aspirin, etc..
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I'm scared to find out their cost, I have a script for them but if the lidocaine was exactly 10$ each patch, likely more $"


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"For breakthrough migraine pain, it's the only thing that's effective for me. Always take Imitrex ASAP, but Fioricet #3 does the trick for me with no negative side effects.."


"I was offered sertraline (Zoloft) after a relapse of Generalized Anxiety Disorder which brought with it a severe case of Pure-o intrusive thoughts of the harm variety. These thoughts were ruining my life and making me depressed. I was prescribed 50mg per day. The first 3 days were hell with a huge increase in fatigue, depression and intrusive thoughts. I almost gave up it was that bad. I was using diazepam 2mg In those first 3 days and thought they weren't playing nice with the Zoloft so I stopped them. I saw instant improvement after doing so. Now I am 7 days in and have had the best day ever. My intrusive thoughts are far fewer and far easier to simply dismiss. Amazed."


"I am 54 and have been on Androgel for 4 months.1%.  I have gone from number 84 to 450.  My Dr. said the 1% is a low does and that I am doing great and it will continue.  My nipples stick out which I have never had.  Erections most of the day, which I like.  I have started weights, pushups and situps and feeling wonderful.  I was depressed but felt it was from my mother's death and my health had really taken a beating.  Personally I feel better than I have in the last 5 years.  So glad I had the test.  Also most of my body hair has come back."


"I bought Monistat 3 and just like everyone else on here, I am on fire. The first night, I was on the bathroom floor crying and scratching, it was the worst pain I've ever been in. The next day, my symptoms were nearly all gone, so I figured the medication was working, so I used the second dose and I regretted it so badly.

UPDATE!!! I'm now on day 3. I noticed that on the previous days, the burning was only on the external vagina, so I put vaseline all over the area before inserting the cream so it doesn't touch my skin. So far, this is working and I don't feel anything."


"I've had two knee replacement's since 2005 (same knee) and two surgery's on foot for Mortons Neuroma. I've had nothing but problems with both and have been in moderate to severe pain since 2005. After my Doc tried several medicines for pain the only thing that has worked was Percocet. I've been on it for several years however I quit for a month and a half and now I'm back on it. I'm taking 3 a day and It's absolutely amazing how I can work and function normally while on this. I also believe that not only does it relieve the pain but I'm alert and have so much more energy and I'm able to remain productive at 60 years old. I sleep like a baby at night too. Great Stuff."


"I hate cold sores. I have gotten them sporadically for years and have tried it all. I had taken acyclovir pills and found that they did not help once the sore had broken the skin. Yesterday I woke up with a sore forming and FREAKED. I have a black tie event this weekend and needed it GONE. I ran to my Dr. and took my first dose of Valtrex around 11am. I did notice that it didn't really get bigger, but it wasn't disappearing. I took my second dose and went to sleep, this morning I woke up and while the sore is still there, it's already scabbed and MUCH better. I think it should be in a great place tomorrow for my event. While it didn't clear it up completely - it helped SO much in 24 hours. Now I can at least use some concealer!"


"Drysol works.  I tried other non prescription brands on the market with absolutely no positive results.  Drysol has been life changing for me.  I can wear what I want without being concerned with soaking through a shirt.  The only side effect I have experienced is the burning for the first 3 or so days of use, but trust me its worth it.  After the first few days, there isn't any discomfort.  "


"I think if you already had some underlying issue like I had, teribble pms and painful periods, and you felt terrible mood swings etc without BC, then this pill seems to work well. It seems like women who have minor pms and such don't do well with this one. But I have felt amazing since starting it. I barely have a period and no pms. No PMS !!!! I haven't had any mood issues or hormonal issues since starting it . I have noticed my breast more full which is welcome. Only real side effect was naseau for the first 1.5 weeks in morning and evening which wasnt fun. I feel great on it."


"I have been using Epiduo for a week now. I have combination skin, but mostly oily and I'm 17 years old. I have mild acne but I just wanted to get ride of it completely. Since I have only been using it for a week my rating is a 5. I put it on every night and my skin surprisingly has not been very very dry. It does make my sensitive skin more red though and I started to see an improvement but then it pretty much making me breakout but that's the process of cleaning out your pores so I'm excited to see the results when it becomes a full month or 2 months. I recommend using this because I have high hopes for this product."


"When I first started taking this pill it worked great!  The first few months my period was lighter, only 2-3 days of non heavy bleeding.   I also lost 25lbs. Then around the 4th month I started getting break through bleeding that last for days and heavier periods, after reading these other comments now I know what has been causing the mood swings. The only positive is the weight loss."


"I am a 61 year old female who smoked since I was 18 (about a pack a day).  Over the years I had tried to quit with everything and anything available.  In Sep 14 I used Chantix to successfully quit and I was successful for 9 months.  In Jun 15 my husband had a heart attack and I used it as an excuse to start smoking again.  Chantix worked wonders the first time so I am trying again.  One week without a cigarette and I'm feeling great.  Only side effects are a little nausea if I don't eat and some vivid (not scary) dreams.  I know I'm going to beat this addiction once and for all this time thanks to Chantix!!!!"


"Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Doc put me on 2.5 mg, with little results but side effects. Raised it to 5mg and I feel worse. I am using sample packs and insurance will not cover. I have noticed improvement in my sugar levels but I have felt worse now having started the pills. Nausea, soft stool, headache, dizzy. All of these and sugar reads only 152. Also, I don't feel rested when I'm sleeping."


"I had muscle spasms from sleeping on my stomach and I couldn't function much at all.  I told my doctor I needed something to relieve the pain but something I could function on at work and while driving.  She prescribed this and I love it.  The only thing I can tell from it whenever I take is relief of my spasms.  No drowsiness or loopiness for me."


"06/23/17 first day.  I'm so sensitive to medications I'm praying this one works I'm 5'4" 263lbs.  I have tried everything.  Please let this work"


"2 pills still itchy. Feel nauseated and have stomach cramps."


"Outstanding product. Works really well. Easy to use. Worth every dollar."


"Nexplanon BEST birth control EVER!! You definitely won't be having any kids with this thing! Thank you Nexplanon for taking away my complete desire to have sex. Wasting all my money on tampons because Aunt Flow is here to stay. Oh, and ruining my relationship.. Also don't touch me don't talk to me or you might get slapped. Guess it's doing its job.."


"This medicine increased my mood within a matter of days. However, when I increased my dosage from 10 mg to 20 mg in the start pack, I got violently sick, nausea then extreme vomiting with a headache. Worse than any hangover that I have ever had. The problems lasted for 2 days and eventually diminished to a headache. When I started taking the medication I notice that a numbness in my arms and shoulders at night and stiff joints in the morning. When I stopped the medicine the muscle stiffness and joints decreased. I was on the medicine for almost a month and still have the stiff joints and muscle aches.  I was an endurance athlete and this type of pain was different."


"My 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive in August 2010 and we tried Concerta 36mg and it did nothing. The pediatrician prescribed Vyvanse 40mg to start, and what a difference! My son can now listen, focus, pay attention, concentrate at home and at school and can better manage his behaviors, thoughts and words. We are very happy with the results. He didn't lose appetite or weight, and has no side effects thus far. We are more than happy to have found a prescription that works for him so that he can function normally on a day to day basis."


"I'm going on my 3rd week taking this and for me it has caused, In  the first week or two, a lowered libido (sex drive) and vaginal dryness.. and I'm 16!! even when I'm with my bf and I'm turned on, I'm not even really wet at all.. and this causes irritating and painful sex unless you have lube. Before this I had no problem getting wet. This is the first brith control I've ever been on so I don't know if all this is supposed to go away after a couple or few months but honestly I don't think it's worth it. I've also been experiencing breast tenderness (usually in the morning, it feels like I'm going through puberty all over again lol) perhaps and little bit of breast enlargement (which hey, I'm not complaining about) and abit of mood swings"


"I had to mirena placed in two weeks ago and I haven't stop bleeding since then. Very frustrated since it was put in to stop the bleeding. Still deciding what to do."


"They were prescibed for chronic pain in the nerves, they leave you impotent. They don't work and they are the worst drugs to get off. Like ssri's people need to start complaining about all the negative side effects of all these new drugs like trazodone as well. If you read this "You have been warned" they are very addicting and you will spend a lot of time trying to get off this crap that doesn't work. They all need to be sued in a class action lawsuit."


"Fiorinal has helped my Migraines better than anything else I have tried.  I have not

had any side effects at all."


"My daughter used the NuvaRing for 18 months and now she's not here to tell other women about it.  She died from a pulmonary embolism from using the NuvaRing.  She had no side effects to warn her, she died instantly.  She was only 19 physically fit and did not smoke.  Do not use the NuvaRing it increases your chances of having a blood clot which could be fatal.  There are much safer birth control methods."


"Total thyroidectomy in 2004 due to Papillary Thyroid Cancer. T4 monotherapy alone was horrible. I have been on Liothyronine since February and have regained my life."


"Been on it for 3 months.  At first it was worse. The panick attacks and anxiety. Then it was like my brain flipped the switch. I feel so much better. Im 30 and started getting anxiety at 22. I never wanted meds.  Fought hard and tried everything natural.  Finally I gave in.  I'm so happy now. I am not afraid of my own shadow anymore.  I think I may have put on 3lbs from it, but as long as it stops there.  Or it could be all the cookies. Give it a try.  I'm not cured, but I NEVER want to go off Zoloft."


"Geodon has taken away SOME of the delusions/paranoia. Yet, it has made me angry and mean, and has caused me to gain weight. Recommend it for a short period of time- NOT longterm."


"I get Humira from the VA and have been on it for a couple of years.  I only inject about once a month even though I am suppose to use it once every two weeks.  It works well, but I am concerned about side effects.  I got Shingles once after taking the shot.  I am assuming because it lowers my immune system.  However, it is  worth the risk overall and significantly has reduce my pain and pretty much stopped the  progression.  I also take Piroxicam daily."


"I had the insertion on April 19, 2017. As expected, the procedure was uncomfortable and caused some cramping that lasted for the day. I had been struggling with acne breakouts prior to getting the IUD and the breakouts have definitely subsided. Only downside is that almost 2 months later, I am still bleeding. Although it is light, still very inconvenient and annoying,"


"I have used Kimite patches on 3 separate occasions. The first I used multiple patches for 8 consecutive days with no side effects whilst wearing the patch however, for the week following removal, I experienced dizziness and headaches. On the second and third occasions I only used one patch for a duration of 3 days each time (which is a patchs maximum longetivity) and I had no side effects. I still rate this medication highly as without my Kimite I wouldn't be able to travel long distances due to the severity of my motion sickness."


"I've been on norvasc a couple years. It'll does keep my BP down. Biggest issue is fatigue. No energy at all I've been depressed  I thought the fatigue was causing the depression. ?? Doc sent me to get some tests because of the fatigue. Waiting results."


"Prescribed by my doctor two yrs ago for acute sinus inflamations. He suggested I use immediately when feeling onset symptoms. It woks wonders. Somewhat pricey, but much better than full-blown sinus infection anyday. I highly recommend."


"Lost 9 pds on second week now and I watch everything I eat I read my labels alot more I know its important to watch all that you eat because since I been doing it along with the diet pill I lost 9pds and I'm only on my second week. I don't know if I want to increase the dose I like the 2 a day. Every time I take a pill I drink 16ounces of water with it then I wait and eat 1 hour later so with good discipline you will be successful I believe"


"I was in Mexico and spent the whole day drinking at the pool (I think they did not wash glasses properly and I contracted it there). I went for dinner and just as I finished my meal I licked my lips and right away could feel the tingle, then bit my bottom lip where it was and had that very sharp pain. Could tell right away, having had several when I was younger. A single small blister had formed on my lip already and luckily I carry Abreva everywhere so I put some of that on right away. Next day it had "popped", I soaked that and put more Abreva. Was starting to heal and crust within 2 days. This is why the ladies in my family carry it everywhere. You have to use it straight away to stop the spreading, but its a life saver."
