"In use for 6 weeks with noticeable reduction in muscle soreness and overall general body stiffness. Suffered for years with stiffness, soreness, lack of flexibility, and difficulty getting down on a floor to work and very hard to get up. Weight doesn't help, but Mobic has relieved much of the apparent inflammation of muscles and joints. So far after 6 weeks I have no noticeable side effects."


"Suffer from anxiety depression, which I had no idea why everything in life irritated me. Started off w/5mg and noticed in the morning that I was completely calm and not yelling at my kids. I no longer have road rage so that is a good thing for all stupid drivers :)"


"I'm 19 and I've been on birth control since I was 15. I started out with the pill, then depo, now nexplanon! The pill made me feel horrible I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy. Depo was good because I didn't have a period but I gain soooo much weight. Nexplanon made me lose a few lbs but I didn't gain any which was good. I also do not have a cycle on nexplanon. I sort of miss it(don't ask why lol) I'm in my 2 1/2 mark with nexplanon and I'm only getting it taken out so I can have my cycle, I just feel clogged up without a period. I would most definitely recommend Nexplanon to anyone!"


"I have been on Temodar 315 mg for 5 days once a month maximum dose of Avastin every other week for 8 months and will continue 4 more months before going on just Avastin.  I had a cancerous brain tumor removed then radiation.  All of these treatments cause "profound fatigue," yet no relief for this is covered by insurance. Physically I can function fine except for the fatigue.  My condition is not really curable at this point in time, but I want to at least be able to do something with the time I have left, even if it's nothing more than take a walk with my wife.  150 mg daily of Nuvigil has allowed me to do this.  Medicare nor supplement cover it.  Ritalin shot my blood pressure up to 200/100 and a trip to the ER."


"I have been on Enbrel for about 5-6 years roughly, I use to take methotrexate and Enbrel, then I stick to Enbrel and it has stabled my arthritis. I am doing it now every 3 weeks and I find my joints hurt after taking it.  The best place to do it in my opinion is the upper leg.  Sometimes the area I did my injection would itch but it would dissapear after a couple days. Overall I haven't had much complaints using this medicine, I used the sure click which makes things easier then the automatic one."


"Helped migraine and daily headache, however gave suicidal thoughts so discontinued."


"I had T levels below 200 and the Doc started me on Androgel 1.62.  I saw minor improvements at 2 and 3 pumps per day, but didn't see normal T numbers until he prescribed a max dose of 4 pumps daily.  I had libido and ED issues that have greatly improved.  The main side effect I have is that I have some body acne on the shoulders and upper chest, I've also had a little more chest hair.  Without insurance and even with insurance the gel can be too pricey for many."


"I have suffered resistant depression/anxiety on and off for 30 years and now I have obsessive compulsive disorder and intrusive thoughts. I started on Anafranil 15 days ago and my OCD/ intrusive thoughts have almost gone  I'm on only 100 mg per day and I'm starting to get my life back and the medicines haven't reached their full effect yet, so at this early stage I'm happy to recommend this medication and I hope this helps anyone that reads this, thank you."


"Horrible drug whose side effects are worse than the condition. Really messed me up for months on a six day course starting at 24mg, then reducing by 4mg daily for 5 days. Panic attacks, vision problems, ulcer or gastritis, hip pain, racing heartbeat, hip pain and didn't do anything for the allergic sinus condition. Getting out of polluted Bakersfield, California did cure the allergy but spent month on the side effects after ending use. Doctors and pharmacists never warned of possible side effects."


"I have been on Sronyx for 2 weeks now, and I absolutely love it! My skin is clear, I have NO mood swings, and I'm actually losing weight. No complaints, I love this pill!"


"Started with Depakote upon being diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy in my teens.  I took it for years without issue.  I decided to switch to Keppra XR because of potential liver issues with Depakote and the somewhat tiresome redundancy of labwork related to Depakote use.  Keppra XR did not work for me as my memory began growing progressively worse and I could not think clearly.  I also began losing my train of thought mid sentence fairly often.  Switched back to Depakote ER, and am feeling much better mentally.  The quarterly labwork is not a big deal when compared to being in a mind fog for over a year.  That's my experience, hope everyone finds what's right for them.  P.S. I do not take generics, noticeably more side effects."


"On June 1, 2009 I began taking Chantix. The only side effect I had were the dreams, but they were't scary, just very vivid. In fact I liked th edreams so much I didn't want to wake up! I started smoking when I was 12 and in 2009 I was 54 years old. I was a smoker for 42 years and a two pack a day smoker for at least 20. Never-the-less, Chantix worked for me and I haven't had a single craving since I stopped taking it. I took it for the full 3 months even though I didn't feel I needed to, I just wanted to make sure I got the full benefit. If I can quite on Chantix, you can too! I wish I'd replaced it right away with healthy habits like exercise, but it took me a while to that. I fell healthier at 61 than I did at 21 which says a lot.  Good l"


"I had been prescribed this medication, I was to take it every morning and night to prevent my symptoms of GERD. I had done that for about a month or less, and I was also to take it when the pain had come. It worked wonderfully. I had stopped taking the medication, and then when I did need the pain to stop, the medication was and is still ineffective."


"Since taking this medication (over a month ago) I have gained 10lbs (which I can't seem to be able to shake off), still have a metallic taste in my mouth and have frequent upset stomach. This has completely turned me off antibiotics altogether. It was given to me by a endodontist to "ensure" she wouldn't have any problems with the root canal (i.e. preventative). "


"I'm finishing up my third month of Sprintec. I'm 19 and had never taken birth control previously. The first few months I experienced the normal side effects - nausea in the morning, dizziness, feeling a bit out of it mentally. Sprintec has given me lighter periods but that is the only plus. Last month when I was halfway through my sugar pill week I began to feel extremely numb emotionally and unable to feel happy about anything, not even my long-term relationship. I couldn't shake the depression until I started my next pill pack. This month the depression is starting on my third row of active pills. If it continues I am going to the doctor to change meds. Never sacrifice your mental and emotional health for shorter periods and clearer skin."


"Clears up allergies like a charm but side effects are no joke. Jittery, trouble sleeping, massive anxiety, I couldn't sit still went on a cleaning binge for hours on end though lol. Woke up next day drained still feeling some side effects. Scary drug."


"Okay ! So I decided I should come here and write my review about the Plan-B pill just to ease some mind "


"I have smoked for 36 years and am a 49 year old man.
My first attempt with the patch worked well for the first 2 weeks, but then I went back to smoking.

This time, I have also joined the YMCA and feel the exercise (sweating it out) is helping much more. I have also noticed some blurred vision and waking with a terribly dry mouth in the middle of the night. So far, I really don't have any craving for a cigarette. When I do, I chew some gum or change my habitual patterns.

Great product I feel."


"I got the arm implant on March 2017 and it's been nothing but a nightmare. I have gained so much weight, I started to retain water and I have been spotting for the last month My  sex drive is usually insane but with the birth control I lost the my sex drive my skin took a tow. I don't recommend this birth control"


"I have been suffering from migraines for about 2 years now. I've tried a few different prescription pills and I've suffered from horrible side effects from each one. I was to the point where I felt almost hopeless because I couldn't do anything to relieve the pain when I would get migraines. My neurologist prescribed me Migrainal last month and I've had 3 horrible migraines since then. Each time I have used Migrainal within 30 minutes they are gone and I feel great and not defeated by the horrible migraine. I definitely would recommend and consider this a miracle!"


"It has the desired effect of stopping the itching in the night, but I cannot stay awake the following day. The drowsiness is almost impossible for me to cope with during the working week. I'm literally falling asleep at work (and I'm only taking half the dose)."


"Solodyne is pretty quick and effective. No bad side effects!"


"I first got on Jolessa because the menstrual cramps I suffered each period were HORRIBLE. I haven't had any cramps or spotting since starting the pill, other than the obvious period related ones when that time finally does roll around. I'm mostly happy with this brand! However, one thing I have noticed since meeting my boyfriend and becoming sexually active with him is that this pill kills sex drive dramatically. I gave it a good rating because I'm pleased with it's performance, but I'll be switching for a more healthy sex life with someone that I care deeply for."


"This was the first bc I have used, for my crazy abnormal periods and as a birth control. The first month was crazy, headache, fetigue, nausea, extreme cramps, but I decided to stick with it and eventually that went away. My period started on a Tuesday and ended on a Saturday and were way lighter, and I hadn't experienced normal period symptoms besides bloating. The second month I had crazy mood swings, followed by the month after that. Periods still came on Tuesday-Saturday, but I started noticing on my new packs, I had headaches, fetigue, nausea, etc.. My fourth and fifth month, I have had my period for two weeks. It would start on my 3rd week pill Tuesday, all the way until I had to start my new pack. I am shortly switching."


"I was given this by the A&E Dept for multiple knee ligament rupture. Within an hour of taking: extreme vertigo, nausea, sweats, vomiting, diarrhoea and disorientation. Symptoms last for days. Don't risk it.  Just take something else."


"Do not take this medication! There is NO other medication for depression/anxiety that has withdrawal symptoms that put you in excruciating pain!  You become a person without feelings, almost hard hearted on this medication! Please please have your Dr. try other meds first! I am so angry that I trusted my psychiatrist! I feel betrayed! Thank God I have my general Doctor who is spending more time with me to help me get off of this medication!"


"This has saved my life. I have always been a sneezing mess. I constantly had a blocked nose more or less everyday. I stupidly tried to use otrivine. Omg what a mistake as this infected my nose because i came reliant on it causing an inflamation. So i went to the doctors who prescribed me avamys nose spray. It saved my life. I can breathe again and it treated my nose from inflammation and also protects it from any further complications. All watery eyes and nose problems gone down the drain. I would sponser this medicine. Best nose spray I've ever had. :)"


"Didn't help with inflamed situation it was prescribed for.  Nausea,  bloating,  abdominal pain,  insomnia,  restlessness,  headaches.  ITCHY!  So very itchy.  Make it stop.   I haven't slept in days."


"When first taking Wellbutrin, my mouth became really dry, I got a few weird headaches, and I felt some physical numbness when I touched my skin; However, after a month the symptoms were almost non-existent and my depression and anxiety improved drastically. Also, my doctor prescribed it to me to help with ADD/ADHD. I noticed that my focus was also better. This may be simply because anxiety can cause you to lack attention and it fixed the anxiety, but either way it worked great for me."


"If I could have afford it, I would still be on it!  Since I suffer from Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (Hepatic region) my Doctor felt that this medicine would really help since it is already broken down causing a major decrease in possible liver damage from daily, major pain relief.  It worked really well, but it would have been way over $200 a month."


"Been on Cymbalta now for approximately 1 year. My moods are stable, less pain, generally feel better. However, one side effect is unacceptable. On this medication, I feel like I am no longer male. Less desire, followed by greatly reduced sensitivity, as well as inability to maintain an erection longer than a minute make married life most difficult. I tried to come off the drug. It is extremely difficult. Dizziness, light sensitivity, horrible headaches, and extreme irritability."


"I started taking 5mg 2 months ago and by the 2nd night I had my first dry night in months and even on the first night it was significantly better.  It has completely changed my life.   Unfortunately in this last week I have had 2 episodes of incontinence and have become concerned that I might need to increase the dose.  Initially I had dry eyes, blurred vision, headache with some nausea but this settled.  I am left with blurred vision sometimes.  I willingly put up with the side effects as the alternative is untenable."


"I have been itching since I had this test on Monday ...over 40 hours ago....this med should not be given to patients who take asthma meds.  I guess no one cared enough to read my medical history. I am concerned about this med staying in my body."


"8 years ago I had my 3rd child, a healthy baby girl, and suffered from horrible postpartum depression.  My OBGYN put me on 10 mg Lexapro and after a few more terrible days and a trip to the ER I ended up in a psychiatrist office. He added mirtazapine to help me eat and sleep and in 2 weeks I was much better.  I was able to stop the mirtazapine and took the Lexapro for a full year. I am so grateful to those 2 Dr's who helped me crawl out off a very dark hole.  A month ago I fell back in and my anxiety kicked into high gear. I was barely functioning.  After 2 weeks my psychologist put me back on 10 Mg Escitalopram.  I am entering my 3rd week and feel much better.  This medicine has been wonderful.  Prayer   medicine   talk therapy."


"Helped with my mood really well.
But I had severe tremor which I had to endure for a month before it could be stopped. The tremor did not ease at all, it even made my feet shake when they were off the floor and my jaw. If you can put up with tremor it definitely helps with lifting your mood!"


"I have been on Vistaril for several weeks. I have a bad anxiety disorder that gave me panic attacks and makes me shake. My best experience was with this medicine."


"I decided to purchase the Monistat-3 with the anti-itch cream. I used the Monistat-1 before and it did not completely remove the yeast infection. When I used the Monistat-1 over a year ago, I did NOT experience anything that I experienced this time around. The first night of me using the Monistat-3 was terrible! After minutes of me inserting the cream, I felt an incredible burning! It was so uncomfortable that I could not go to sleep for HOURS! I started looking up reviews and seen that it was a common reaction, so I tried to hold out. From exhaustion I passed out and the next morning my itchiness was gone. I had some discharge but it was primarily the medication and the infection. The second night was better and am on the third night now."


"I have been on clonidine for a year. At first it made me sleepy, but after about 6 weeks, my only side effect was dry mouth, and I have to eat when I taken clonidine.
It has helped lower my blood pressure and my anxiety.  Very happy with it."


"The taste was bad, but not awful. I had the dosage of a one time four 500mg tablets. The side effects were as bad as everyone says. I hadn't read anything about the drug before taking it. I took it with a meal and still felt nauseous all night. My side effects were vomiting, chills, major headache, dizziness, tingling in hands and feet, dryness of mouth, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. I wish I would have known about the side effects before taking the medicine, because I was afraid to be home alone.  They only lasted the night, after that I was back to normal."


"I have had a lifetime of bladder infections and ciprofloxacin (although a little annoying because of the dairy and iron) it works wonders! By the second dose the pain is 95% gone. My advice take it with a handful of Cheerios and first thing in the morning and about 11 hours later at night when you haven't had too much dairy (like a glass of milk or a steak). I had no side effects and I always get it for at least one week to 10 days. I've taken just about every other one and I've had the infections come back. Ciprofloxacin is always my first choice!"


"This helped me tremendously! I've been using this for quite awhile for my rhinitis. Have had no side effects! I'm 62 years old. Feeling much better!"


"I am having no problems with this birthcontrol. It cleared up my acne.(most of it) and it didn't hurt at all after, no bruising,nothing. The first week I cried easily, probably my body adjusting to the hormones. But now,I'm absolutely perfect. I feel normal. And I didn't have any terrible side effects."


"I have been diagnosed with bipolar for 15 years and for the first time experienced a mania state beyond anything I imagined or experienced before.  I was suffering from severe paranoia and psychosomatic symptoms.  Zyprexa is a God-send and I am happy with it.  My major problem with it is the morning hangovers I feel. I have gained weight, but desperately needed to do so."


"I have suffered with right lower back pain for many years. I have taken Flexeril, Ibuprofen800, Percocet all of which dulled the pain or put me to sleep. My doctor put me on Naprelan and after two doses I am almost completely free of back pain."


"I also have analgesia for recurrent kidney stones. Diazepam is particularly useful at night - 5-10mg in aiding sleep and reducing the need for strong analgesia. It has also been great in helping reduce my alcohol intake."


"I am a 25 year old woman and started taking this 6 days ago along with clonazepam for anxiety. 300 mg of Bupropion once a day (mornings) and clonazepam twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening). I have to say that...so far THIS ROCKS. I was suffering from depression, obsessive thoughts, anxiety and panic attacks for months. I stopped taking Zoloft after a year because I gained 60 lbs on it. Now with Wellbutrin, I have no side effects except loss of appetite and more energy. I feel more energetic, happy (almost "giddy") and hopeful for the future. My anxiety and depression was debilitating and this saved my life. I can't wait till the full effects kick in. 6 days in and I feel the difference."


"I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for over a year, I finally decided to look for help because I was feeling really numb and hating my life, just feeling like a failure.  I am on my 5th week and I am still waiting for my mood to improve, I read some people say it might take 6-8 weeks to start kicking in and I cannot wait to feel better and have positive thoughts again.  Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated."


"I actually find the gels a lot more successful to falling asleep and waking up alert.  It sort of kicks you awake the next morning.  The sleep tabs however, make you groggy the next morning.  Try the gel caps!"


"I have had severe migraines since I was 8 years old and then a friend recommend Replax. She had begun to use it for her migraines.  So I asked me doctor to prescribe and it has literally changed my life.  I do usually have to take two, and they are expensive, but two pills that work, at any cost, are worth being migraine free! If you are a sufferer, try it!"


"I Was given zomig nasal spray as a test prescription from my doc. She said the nasal spray works really quickly and may be a good alternative to my max alt. I should have stuck with my instincts. After 10 years of migraines and numerous medications max alt always works. I tried the spray, it did act fast. I felt better within a half hour! But now four hours later and my migraine is back and worse than before:( I may try one more time but so far I am not impressed."


"I have been using restasis single use vials for years and they have definitely helped my post lasik dry eyes--eye doc confirms corneas healthier, no dry patches.  I was using the single use vials, using each one twice as everyone does, with no problems.  I decided I'd try the multidose vials.  I'd make the same comments as others--they are hard to dispense, dispense more than you need, and will not last a month, let alone 45 days, which makes them more than twice as expensive as the vials.  We will see if Allergan keeps its promise to keep making the vials, as they will obviously increase profits with the multi use bottles."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months and so has my sister. My sister loves it and has no problems with it. However for me, I have symptoms of PCOS so I don't get my period every month so I started taking this pill. I didn't get a single period while on this pill, just brown discharge for 2 weeks straight every month. It was annoying and my periods were more normal and better before I started taking this so that was pretty weird. Requested a new birth control and hopefully it works !"


"Amazing keep at them.

We can all get thought this!"


"I'm on the implanon so I can't manage to lose weight with anything I do but with xenical I have already lost 2 kgs in just 2 days, have not exercised as I am sick at the moment, have two a day with my two meals (lunch and dinner) only thing I stop myself from is snacking (which is tough), can't wait to continue with this product!"


"The only drug that has worked to help me get my Atrial fibrillation under control."


"I used to be at a mental state where everyday I would lie on my bed for about 3 hours because I didn't want to do anything. I had severe suicidal thoughts for 2 years and kept switching medications because they caused weight gain. After about a week of taking the medication my weight started dropping and my grades shot up to b's instead of c's. Now I'm doing great. I've never had higher grades and haven't felt this good for years. I'd really recommend it. I haven't had side effects yet and probably won't."


"I'm a 25 year old female and my doctor prescribed Celexa to help me manage my anxiety. I've been on it just shy of 3 months. I started with 10 mg and increased to 20 mg after about 2 weeks. My initial side effects were dry mouth, decreased appetite, sleepiness and low libido. The first few nights I was on Celexa I also found myself suddenly waking up in the middle of the night in a panic. This also happened after my dose was increased. After almost 3 months on Celexa, all the side effects have disappeared, except my sex drive is completely non-existent. Overall I feel very relaxed and my anxiety symptoms have significantly decreased."


"Doesn't seem to be as strong as other Generics?"


"I have used Motofen for over 5 years for the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Have tried many other medications and none of them help. I am finding it very hard to get presciptions filled - nobody seems to carry Motofen because it is an "old" drug."


"Improved her ability to live."


"Helped in the beginning of the first few weeks,but later my mood became more paranoid. I'm not saying this medicine will make you paranoid, but it doesn't work for me. Plus it does make you gain weight like 40lbs. in 8 weeks."


"I was previously on trazodone for sleep issues and it was ok but didn't always help.  My doctor put me on the much stronger Ambien CR. I took 12.5mg of this 5 hours ago and haven't slept at all. "


"The Nuva-ring caused a depression for me after just 1,5 months use. I became depressed a few weeks after beginning, and it only became worse."


"After two months  of suffering and trying over-the-counter ointments and creams, suppositories, witch hazel pads, doing sitz-baths and tub soaking, my condition was only getting worse, not to mention, the ointments and creams were setting me on fire. I finally sought medical attention at my doctor's office.  After only two doses, I was able to finally sleep without being awakened with irritating symptoms.  I will never be without it.  I have been using it 2 - 3 times a day for the past 5 days.  However, I have an appointment to have a colonoscopy to make sure that there are no other internal issues that need to be addressed due to the severity of my condition."


"This was and is still a  nightmare contraceptive.  Bought this and used with my boyfriend. Used 3 in one night.  We both had side effects.  We are exclusive if not. ..I would have thought I caught something.  Felt good after using but 2 hours later the excess is flowing out & leaves me feeling slightly irritated.  I wash again but still feel a persistent irritation. Day 2. he had a weird sensation while peeing.  Both of us have itchy genitals and it only gets worse from there.  I almost feel like a yeast infection.  My anal region itches.my vaginal area feels dry but it isn't.  It's just highly irritated.  I've used raw yogurt, acidophilus pulls and so feel irritated.  Never using this again. It's day 4 and these symptoms are still annoying"


"I have severe pain in my legs and chronic fatigue. Been going to doctors for over a year, have had 3 MRI's, and gallons of blood taken and tested. Yet nobody knows the source of these symptoms. Due for a muscle biopsy soon. While taking tramadol and hydrocodone had great results for energy and pain, I became dependent. I was prescribed Lyrica 50mg about 2 months ago and felt a little relief. Doctor raised the dosage and now I take 150mg 3 times a day and the results are amazing. I'm alert, energetic, and pain free. Have a little dizziness now and then, but this medicine is great."


"I used Dymista and the first use was excellent results and a reduction of my snoring and dripping sinus. Price is too high without insurance and the $35 coupon excludes senior citizens that take government funding. "


"I was originally on Yaz, cleared up skin in 3 months. It was amazing! Although I did get occasional headaches. Switched to Beyaz due to the Bayer savings card. I continued to get headaches..like stay in bed all day headaches..so now I am finally switching to another birth control. I would rather not be on one at all considering what it does to my body but it's that or acne. I would rather take the pill."


"I have had tinnitus for more than 1 year , nothing helped me, until I started eating Alprazolam with my other medicines, it was really helpful, I eat one Omega 3 , one  Ginko gel in the morning and vitamin B1 and the mix of zinc, magnesium, calcium after lunch and at night one Alprazolam ( 0.5 )  and Betahistin , this medicine diet was great for me , also stop smoking and drinking alcohol is very very very important , please test it ."


"This birth control made me gain weight, and has given me some major mood swings. With in an hour I go through 3 different types of emotions."


"I just started Harvoni 5 days ago. Just started with headache and nausea, some shortness of breath.  I drinking a lot of water, which helps with nausea.  Headaches are mild.  Overall I feel pretty good no aches or fatigue or insomnia."


"Started this less than week ago.  Only side effects have been some fatigue and dry mouth. The dry mouth has caused me to drink more water which is good for anyone.. I started at 214 and am already 210. I feel full far sooner than before and dont feel the cravings I would always get during the day.. hopefully the fatigue will pass next week. Recheck with doctor on 6/2... cant wait!  Sadly, I'm a lapband failure and never get the I'm full feeling with it, so this is promising!"


"Been taking this medication for the second time first for an absess then tooth was taking out now for dry socket & I can't wait to finish them , I feel awful - so tired all the time , ( slept all over new year ) feeling drowsy headaches blurred vision , finish them tomorrow thank goodness.  I've been taking 200mg 4 times a day for 5 days just hope it's the end of my nightmare"


"I have never been more exhausted in my life while on this birth control pill. I was diagnosed with endometriosis and have now been on this pill for 2 months. I am still moody, constantly tired, feel the dull pain in my lower stomach and have had breakthrough bleeding already. The bloating is awful and my breasts are so swollen and tender that I can't stand to wear a bra. I was on Seasonale before and did not have these side effects whatsoever so will hopefully be going back to that now that this pill has completely changed me as a person!"


"I have been on Saxenda for 3 weeks now. The first week I experienced very little side effects which was relieving as I usually get very sick from medications. By the end of week one the smallest portions would fill me up which is wonderful but I had no weight loss and I was eating strictly healthy. Week 2 I stuck to .06 for an extra week so my body could adjust better and finished the week with 3 lbs lost since start date. Almost no desire to ever eat. Week three I have increased my dosage and have been feeling extremely nauseous and having weird chest pains. I hope it goes away. I'm a little uncomfortable with the possible long term side effects and will only stick this out if I start seeing results. Happy with appetite decrease though."


"I am 18. My doctor prescribed valacyclovir 500mg to take 1 a day. I have been taking them for 5 days not missing a day. And on the 5th day (today) a fever blister popped up. Idk if I should up the dose by another 500mg or what"


"I have found Contrave to be great since it has given me the will power of steel and virtually all of my cravings for sweets are gone. I have been pretty much effortlessly been able to follow a healthy diet unlike before. I did have to give up caffeine immediately since the bupropion tends to give people the jitters for a few weeks which has now subsided for me. I also am only taking one pill a day early in the morning and will only increase as needed as instructed by my doctor to minimize the jitters. I am quite hopeful since unlike the dozens and dozens of times where I tried to lose weight before, I am not struggling at all. Plus, my mood is better to boot!"


"12 hours after I took it, I had intermittent cramping, then urge to go.  Didn't go, but did vomit twice.  Cramping intensified and I was reminded of giving birth.  It really hurt.  Fist poop was average, followed by loads of diarrhea.  Make sure you can be home all the next day if you're taking it at night.  You need to rush to the toilet.  If I ever have to do this again, I think I'll try a suppository.  But it worked!"


"As far as the effectiveness against pregnancy goes, skyla works amazing. My boyfriend of 6 years and I do not use protection and I have yet to get pregnant. That is about the only positive thing I have to say about skyla. Everything else is terrible. The risk of it embedding into or perforating my uterus is also a monumental fear of mine. Although I don't want kids now, I hope to have them in the future and my frequent cramps scare me even more that I may not be able to have children."


"I have never slept so well or had any withdrawal problems on this medication.  This medication is a God-send.  I wish I would have taken my therapist's advice and taken it sooner.  Being from a family of alcoholics and eventually becoming one myself I was left with no other option but this one.  It was my last hope.  I can say that this medication works, and works well.  You think clearer and your sleep patterns return to normal.  Sleeping was a problem for me before.  I would recommend anyone with a dependency problem to discuss this medication with their doctor or therapist."


"I HAD BEEN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEDS FOR DEPRESSION & ANXIETY.  STARTING WITH PAXIL, PROZAC AND OTHERS I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAMES OF. I STARTED EFFEXOR A YEAR AGO AND IT CERTAINLY WORKS FOR ME, FOR BOTH DEPRESSION & ANXIETY.  REMEMBER TO TAKE IT EVERYDAY. ALL SSRIs CAUSE SEVERE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. IF YOU WANT TO DISCONTINUE USE, TELL YOUR DR.  COLD TURKEY IS NOT ONLY DEBILITATING IT IS DANGEROUS. I AM SO THANKFUL I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED EFFEXOR. FINALLY RELIEF FROM THINGS THAT ARE NO BIG DEAL! WHERE AS BEFORE IN MY HEAD, IT WAS SO EXAGGERATED. I LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED, I WISH THIS WAS AVAILABLE IN MY TEEN YEARS. I AM ENJOYING LIFE AND AM EXTREMELY HAPPY!"


"I have been in clinical trials for 4 years for Eylea and have had no side effects.  Eylea has allowed me to return to a quality of life that I had given up with sewing, painting, cooking, driving, reading and other areas pertinent to being able to live independently. Before Eylea, I had even stopped watching television! Now I feel confident again and go out and do things on my own without fear. This has definitely been a positive, life changing experience."


"I have been on this medicine for 3 years for pain relief for many problems. I take 10mg 3 times a day and I would suggest nothing else. I have been on other narcotics that have done nothing for me and got me all jazzed. This medicine does nothing like that. Methadone keeps you level headed and does not have any side effects."


"I'm, 20, been on the patch for almost a year. I switched to the Xulane patch after taking birth control pills got annoying. This works great for me, periods are regular, light, little to no cramping and no pregnancy. I am getting a little annoyed with switching it every week, but other than that it works well. I have had no problems with it sticking and staying stuck all week. I have not been swimming with it on and only takes baths when i am not wearing it."


"I'm 51 & hav been using Diovan Hct 80-12.5 for 5months to cntrll high bp.. The medcn did wrk to regulate my bp keep'n it at 120's/ 80's. I started xperienc'n painful stiffnss in my neck & shoulders, nausea. I decided to wean myslf off the meds & to do this I knw I had to chng my diet & xercise more.

First thing to go was soda!  I also strtd eating raw garlic '4 cloves' daily (garlic hlps to lowr bp along with othr awesome benefits), I only drnk lemon watr, & 8 ounce of V8 low sodium Veggie Juice Daily-   Plenty of fruit & veggies DAILY (avocado, bananas, oranges, blackberries, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, almonds) I selected these to provid nutrients need'd.. 5 weeks in & BP has maintained!, I feel fabulous & I'm dwn to 1 tablet a week-"


"Severe dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, feeling out of it, shortness of breath."


"Excellent for vaginal infection. "


"This medicine is a definite winner if you want to stay clean. I find its effects almost hypnotic, I rarely think of smack any more. But I've lost over a stone in weight since starting my script 5 months ago. I want to stay on it but am afraid I'll fade away."


"Today was the first day I started Harvoni, I was pretty anxious before taking it this morning.  I took One tablet this morning at 6 AM, and the only thing I noticed was a little fatigue, and the fatigue was definitely manageable and didn't impact my day at all.  I went to the gym and worked on my car, fixing brake pads and wheel bearings.  So I figure if I can handle this kind of work on day one, this medication sounds like the miracle pill everyone has said it is.  Feeling Optimistic and grateful for science and research."


"My anxiety gave me depersonalization. Whenever I take xanax it clears right up for me, especially if I run out of Klonopin. It's a great back up that helps me when that sudden feeling of panic creeps up on me."


"66yo with very attractive wife with whom I had been making love 2-3 times a week without having erection problems probably due to her great figure and her wanting to dress to tease and please. Problem of maintaining erections for longer than 10 minutes started about 6mths ago and really caused concern which of course started to impact on overall performance. Tried Levitra 10mg last night for the first time - onset about 40 minutes and great erection achieved which lasted for two climaxes. Easily got hard again this morning."


"I was on sample pills for 2 months and changed to this pill. This pill sucks and put me in bad place. I'm 21 don't diet or exercise always weight around 129lb and my period light 3 day period with painful cramp on 1st day. Monday I started this pill and 3 days later Thursday night I was in bed with really bad cramp that I never had before and painkiller didn't work much. Next day I started heavy period, but I wasn't worried since I changed pills til 4 days after period started. A whole week I had heavy period and another 5 day light period. And I'm having bad diarrhea everytime I eat. My period still not finished after almost 2 weeks. I just realized from reading these comments that it's the pills and I'm not sick in any other way lol."


"I had been getting panic attacks for so long they were so scary I had already been to the ER like 4 times and the only thing that did was get me a huge bill that I don't have money to pay. Xanax was like a miracle pill for me. I got some felt so relieved, a little dizzy at first but relieved that I wasn't so panicky any more I'm guessing you should only take it when you start feeling like your going to get a panic attack again or as told by your doctor. Just don't drink any alcohol while you're on Xanax. It does make me feel sleepy but sometimes when I feel like going out I fight it and I don't sleep and I'm still able to go out and enjoy myself."


"My dad just got put on this medicine.  It is great.  We can cook food, give him a shot and in a couple of minutes he can get himself out of the chair and eat his dinner.  He should have been on this years ago. It is a miracle medicine."


"Very glad to see that there's a generic for Vagifem, which I had wonderful results with. However, the blister packaging on Yuvafem is ridiculously bad. It's impossible to separate the single-use applicators using the perforations without tearing the foil wrapping on multiple applicators. Being able to separate is very handy for travel, etc. Please fix the packaging and make it functional!"


"1 pill every 24 hours VERY convenient. Is not near as hard on stomach and intestines. Works about as well as Aleve or Ibuprofen if you take them every 4 hours."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 or 4 years. Up until about 6 months ago, this pill was a blessing. I have been on everything else (Depo, a laundry list of other pills) and nothing worked as well as Seasonique. A few months ago I gained about 30 pounds out of no where and I lost about 20 pounds with a lot of hard work but no matter what I do, I can't get under 130. I have severe headaches and recently I've been bleeding through and not just spotting like full on period. On top of that I was cramping severely and having stomach problems. My husband and I just decided to quit the pill and see what happens and let me tell you I feel much better. I would say yes to this pill except for the side effects I started having."


"It seems I've had Experiences that a lot of these other people do with feeling worse than I did before on these medications with the Cipro and Flagyl and I'm nauseous I'm dizzy I have foggy brain I can't eat the taste is horrible and I feel like I can't function. I've been On this for the second time in a year and it's doing the same thing same side effects. I don't like feeling this way at all. I can't drive or go to work. I've been on it for 4 days out of 10 and its Christmas! My pain has subsided though."


"I've had Kyleena for a week and a half- I LOVE it. Ibuprofen (800mg) an hour before, insert was 4/10 pain scale (lasted less than 1 minute), uncomfortable for an hour after- but functioning to drive home and run to the market, took it easy the rest of the night. I've had zero cramps, zero spotting, I feel perfectly normal. I had sex 24 hours after being insterted. I did use comdoms (my doc said I didn't have too but wanted to be safe). There are good and bad reviews, is encourage you to get it for yourself. If you don't like it- removal is supposed to be easier than inserting. I love this and knowing I'm protected for 5 years against unwanted pregnancy. Good luck!"


"Prescribed for anxiety, GAD, MDD. After being on Zoloft for several years, when my depression and anxiety spectrum returned we decided to try Lexapro. It just never felt 'right' from day 1. After several months, I noticed the feelings did not improve and I figured I would need to live with it. Now almost a year since starting, I've made the switch back to a low dose of Zoloft. Within weeks, I again feel 'normal' and I am not plagued by the overall unease I felt on Lexapro (specifically increased anxiety, developing agoraphobia, EXTREME laziness and no motivation, obsessive thoughts and headaches).

Being mindfull now, everyone IS different. We all are wired uniquely. I know many people who love Lexapro. Not for me, though."


"When I first started taking this medication, I was determined to end it all. Four years later, I'm the happiest person I know. I still have a high sex drive, although I've known people to say that lexapro takes it away for them. I didn't gain any weight and I've learned through meditation and breathing techniques to handle what small anxiety attacks I may get in my hectic life (two jobs, an apartment, school, long distance boyfriend) and at 20 years old I'm better off than most of my friends and feel like I can accomplish anything. Lexapro saved my life."


"The scare tactics online are so ridiculous. I understand everyone's pain tolerance is  different but what boggles me is the women who have given birth saying that this 2 min (if that) procedure is worse. I mean, really? I almost changed my mind about the Paragard due to all the "worst pain of my life" stories. Ladies, get a grip. IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD! Two, quick intense period cramps that each last about 10 seconds. Some mild period - like cramping after. I have an insanely low pain tolerance and all I took was 2, 500mg  Naproxen. I was so scared after reading all the stories online and it was all for nothing. Trust me when I say if I can tolerate the procedure, anyone can. I'm a big baby. But obviously, not the biggest!"


"I started using Chantix September 2014. I'm was getting close to my 50th birthday and I really wanted to stop and it helped me to do it."


"I've used Dostinex for years now, to treat high prolactin hormone levels. When I was younger they had me take Propranolol which made me so sick to my stomach! Dostinex has really no side effects that I've experienced and I only have to take it twice a week!"


"I've had Skyla for 3 years now. I was 21 when it was originally placed. At that time I knew virtually nothing about Skyla so I assumed every risk would happen to me. None of them, not one, happened. There was the slight pain when it was placed and I honestly don't even remember spotting in the weeks afterwards, but that was 3 years ago. Since then I've had no troubles, worries, or children. So in my case this has been an absolute success. I've read some of the other horror stories and honestly I would've been afraid to get one after those. But, I can truthfully say, for me it's been great."


"I had horrible itchy, flakey and weeping ears. I tried every OTC medication and lotion available with no relief. After begging my doctor for something to relieve my pain she prescribed betamethasone and within one day the itch was gone and within 3 days the cracked and bleeding skin was healed. Truly a miracle for me and no more embarrassing ears to hide. 5 stars for this medicine."


"I was nervous at first reading some of the negative reviews and I talked with my doctor about it a while before I switched.  I went back and told him it wasn't enough and he told me that was just the "starting dose" and we'll go up each week until we get to the right dose for me.  I was skeptical to say the least but holy cow he was right!  At 750 I can't believe the difference.  This drug is incredible!"


"Best medicine I've been on to treat my psychosis without affecting my lipids! Experienced a little restlessness nothing major. Great overall experience!"


"So my 10 year old daughter has tested positive for whooping cough therfore the whole family needs to be treated , I have 3 daughters 10, 9, and 5 we are all taking the  clarithromycin this is the 2nd day and we all feel very dizzy , nauseous, have a horrible taste in our mouths and diarrhea.  I feel like we are being poisoned not treated. Is it worth all this pain and discomfort for 7 days ,  our other option is not to take the antibiotics and  to stay isolated for 21 days ....... I don't know what to do ."


"In the first week I took Amitiza, I thought it was going to be a miracle answer to my chronic constipation.   But I had a side effect of severe headaches almost every day....and sometimes all day long.  Since I already have migraines, I blamed it on them getting worse.....even though the symptoms were different.  First the headache would start, and within 5-10 minutes a gush of uncontrollable diarrhea.   I kept blaming it all on migraines and seeking treatment for them.  Finally, because of the expense of this one medication and having to take so many more, I had to stop taking Amitiza.  Within just a few days, the headaches with diarrhea stopped.  This is an excellent product if you don't have the side effects."


"I been on Mononessa for the past 2 years and have only stuck with it this long because it was the best I had yet to try (was extremely sick on Aviane and had heavy, long, unbearable periods with Ortho Tri-Cyclen) and it was free on my insurance. After 2 years my periods are still irregular, I experience recurring  headaches, and I'm constantly bloated and have gained 10 pounds. Not to mention moodiness, feeling foggy, and decreased libido. "


"I have been on Methadone for over 10 years due to chronic pain from Multiple Sclerosis and severe scoliosis. This medication has allowed me to live a relatively normal life. After all this time it still relieves my pain as well as it did in the beginning. Anyone who has not been helped by other medications, I would strongly encourage you to try Methadone. It has saved my life. You may have a little trouble with fatigue at first, but tough it out and it will pass."


"Good medicine, despite metalic taste. Avoid alcohol and take it during midway during meal."


"I've been an opiate addict 7yrs. When I first became addicted OC where everywhere. A few years later I struggled to find any oxycotin, shortly they changed from OC to op struggled with for a while. I just wanted out I tried suboxone but it didn't work for me because I have a migraine issue, so I joined a methadone clinic and became a functioning addict. I was on methadone for 3 yrs. I kept clean from any other drug throughout  my time on methadone but was still an addict because both subox and methadone are opiods.  I found an Institute there many across the country. They do what is called a rapid detox which was pretty pain free at the end of ur detox I got a vivitrol inplant. It's saved my marriage"


"I have been taking this medicine for just over a week now for lower back pain due to a bulging disc and I found no relief."


"I have been on Afrezza for about 18 months and I love it. My A1c is 6.1 which is non diabetic. I take no other medication for diabetes. The standard for my condition calls for taking long acting insulin with Afrezza which I do not do. I pay $100 a month copay for Afrezza. I also have to pay $175 annual deductible for tier 4 drugs. I am willing to pay the extra cost because Afrezza is closest to natural insulin. I understand the once in the bloodstream Afrezza is indistinguishable from naturally produced insulin. I was diagnosed with 3rd degree kidney failure when on Metformin. I am not a doctor or scientist but I do not see how natural Insulin could hurt my kidneys. I love the fact I can cover high carb treats with extra units of Afrezza."


"I first had a panic attack last June & went to the hospital. They gave me Ativan 1mg. I took that for about 1 month and felt sort of out of it, so I decided to only take half and see how that worked. It did work, but I still felt like a zombie. I went back to the doctor & was prescribed BuSpar 5mg twice a day. I took that for three months, but was still having issues waiting in lines, being in public places & sometimes driving. I found I still needed to take the Ativan when I started to panic. Long and short the 5 mg 2xday would take away about 60% of my anxiety and I would force myself out of my head, so to speak. Recently I went back to the doctor & she upped my dose to 7.5 mg twice a day. I feel great! This is giving me my life back, NO more Ativan."


"Bipolar 2 (depression). Still early days, and I'm still on a low dose (50 mg) titrating up towards 200 mg, heading into week 4. At first I didn't notice any effect at all, just minor side effects, e.g. hand tremors, itching, waking up every night and not being able to go back to sleep. Looking back, I realize that after ~2 weeks I slowly started getting more done. After a year of not cleaning and laundry never getting done and dishes sitting for weeks, I started to make headway with those things. It didn't happen from one day to another, and it's still not easy, but things like that get done. That's the difference. Crossing my fingers that the progress continues!"


"I am 42 years old.  I first took Accutane 30 years ago when i was 12 years old.  I had extremely bad acne.  I took my second round of Accutane at 20.  I took a third round at 23.  In between I have tried every medication and cream known to man.

Without Accutane there is no doubt I would have severe scarring.  It's not a lifetime cure for all.  I haven't been able to wear contacts since my mid twenties due to chronic dry eyes.  The side  effects can be tough.  However, without Accutane, my life would have been much different."


"I've been taking this birth control for 3.5 weeks and I'm realizing I shouldn't have switched but my doctor recommended I changed because Ive been on alysena for 3 years. But now on lolo I've had crazy acne and just got my period a week early, and its the most painful cramps I've ever had. I wounldn't recommend this to anyone"


"Not very effective.  Helps but only to a limited extent."


"It has greatly improved my mood and I have been sleeping wonderfully too."


"I started on this medication in October 2015 and I was at 320lbs - heaviest I've ever been. I am now 48lbs down, and I weigh in at the doctor's in 2 days hoping to achieve the 50lb mark.  Not only has this medication helped with the appetite control, it got me off soda!  I never thought that was possible.  It literally made the soda taste bad.  I couldn't believe it.  I have been addicted to full-on, regular soda for years. Now, I can't stand it and don't want it.  I have the tingling sensations but don't really have any other side effects.  I see the doctor once monthly and monitor my blood pressure weekly.  I am very, very happy with the results and plan on continuing until my doctor and I determine it is time to stop."


"I had much pain for years in back of head and neck area. Asprin did not help much. I found doctor who perscribed cyclobenzaprine and it has worked very well. I sometimes use only a half a tablet and now I sleep well."


"Effective antibiotic with the only down side being frequent heartburn & gas."


"I have found all these comments really helpful and reassuring. I started taking Pristiq yesterday and it is the first antidepressant I have tried. After taking my first dose I felt very groggy/tired but I had trouble sleeping last night and had frustrating, repetitive dreams when I finally got off to sleep. Today I have taken my second dose in the morning so that hopefully I can sleep tonight. So far I am not feeling drowsy today and I have been feeling good emotionally. I am optimistic about this treatment and love all the positive comments."


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


"I started taking phentermine on 7/18/2014 and as of a week later 7/25/2014 I lost 8 lbs. Dry mouth has been my only side effect."


"I've just started 37.5 mg of effexor xr for depression,  gad and pd. Im on day 10 and I'm finally getting my energy back. I no longer stay on the couch all day long. Im finding that I have more energy in the am but after lunch the energy slowly fades. But im ok with that!! I was on celexa 30mg for 10 years and i am slowly weaning off that. The celexa work for maby the first 2 years but thats it! I havent tried anything else because I have a fear of taking new meds. I am very proud of myself for taking the plunge and trying something new!! Im happy that I did!  I also suffer from chronic daily headaches and migraines which has a huge part of why I have anxiety and depression. I take 40mg of proaponolol and 75mg of amitriptyline as preventive"


"Very helpful."


"Tried guanfacine for a week, have not noticed any effects except maybe my son is more argumentative, but it's not helping his ADHD at all. Strattera works much better than guanfacine, since he can't take the stimulants. I recommend Strattera to anyone else who has had a problem with side effects from Ritalin or Adderall."


"For years I swore Lo loestrin was the best bc I'd ever been on. I no longer had periods which I loved, no bleeding, cramping, or bloating ever. No weight gain. I loved it so much I'd even shell out over $100 a month just to purchase it once I lost my insurance and later when my new insurance wouldn't cover it. Other concerns led me to the idea of quitting birth control all together. I'm in a committed relationship, and I think 15 years of taking hormones is enough. After I stopped taking it for a couple months, my libido sky rocketed. It took getting off of Lo loestrin to realize it had virtually killed my sex drive completely. My marriage is so much better without it! Its effective, but understand like any other drug there are costs."


"Protonix totally eliminates my throat pain, hoarseness, reflux, etc. After 6 years my insurance decided not to cover it so for the last few months, I've been on several other medicines and they just don't work.  My doctor is trying to convince them I need the Protonix. Wish me luck."


"Does not work for me. I have nerve damage due to back surgery."


"This was an awful experience for me. Bleeding for 28 days a month was terrifying. And miserable, I cramped 24/7 and weight gain. I gained 20lbs within a year & I still exercised & kept an eye on what I ate. My periods before-hand were wonderful! I recently had it removed."


"I first had the 3 in one injection 2 years ago with instant benefits and it lasted almost a year to the date. This is the 3rd time I have had the same injection but this time my knees are so swollen that I can not walk downstairs or get up from sitting. This is the second day and I am still hopeful that after the swelling goes down it will also last another year."


"I had the Implanon fitted in February this year after having my son in April 11. I went on the pill but would forget to take it so decided to try the Implanon. It is brilliant! I haven't had a period since being on it which is so much better. I haven't gained weight either. I still get the odd period cramps but that's it! Don't be put off by negative reviews because it works differently for others! Fortunately it has worked in my favor! Anyone unsure of trying this method of contraception should go for it!"


"I had irritable bowel syndrome for 6 years and in the last 3 years it was preventing me from having a good quality of life. I was too anxious to do so many things because I couldn't trust my body to hold it together for any length of time. I tried hypnosis, mindfulness and naturopathic treatments but then asked my doctor about SSRI antidepressants. The first few weeks are awful but stick with it. I was in emergency because I had a panic attack and thought I was dying. I am now on 15mg Lexapro. It has been 3 months and this is truly a miracle. I feel totally normal and feel every emotion except I just think and ruminate less. I don't obsess anymore about leaving the house-I just leave. The drug has also been constipating for me, which after 6 years of irritable bowel syndrome is incredible. Highly recommend. "


"I have been on lisinopril 20/25 for about 6 to 9 yrs now. It controls my blood pressure. But I have felt dead since I started taking it. It kills my love life, I'm not even interested. I am always tired. I am always sick. I always have a cough. Thanks to the fluid pill mix I pee every single time I cough. I never feel clean. I always have to buy pads. I know it's the meds because once in a while I will get sick of feeling this way and just stop taking them. I feel like a new person. So strong, so happy, loving life, lets play, clean, and brand new.... But I will check my BP and it will be soaring towards or past 200/160. My doctor knows about all of it, makes no effort to care, but It's time to stop all this nonsense."


"My experience with Portia is great. I've been taking it for about a year now, and at first I was using it for poly-cystic ovarian syndrome control, but now I'm using it as my only form of birth control. I've never been pregnant on it, and my periods always come on time and my bleeding is rather light. At first it made my skin a lot clearer, but now it's back to normal, which is the only bad thing I can say about it."


"Similar to Valium except no active metabolites.  Was a very good anti-anxiety medicine for me."


"Had bursitis in the shoulder and haven't had the time to go for a cortisone shot.  Suffered through 2 weeks waiting for it to subside (doctor's on vacation) but doesn't seem to get better. Pharmacist gave me some of this, had the wife rub it on. I thought that I must be going out of my mind, because it felt better WITHIN SECONDS. I'd say 90% of the pain is gone. This is the best. I'll use it a week, and then if it still hurts, I'll go to the doctor.  Worth every penny."


"It worked for my endometrium growth ....I used it for fertility treatment."


"I suffer from daily, chronic migraines. Sometimes lasts more than a day. My doctor prescribed me Naproxen, and it has benefited me so much. I had a headache for a little over 2 days. I took the pill and within 30 min, my migraine is gone. It has really helped me and I couldn't be happier."


"This medicine gave me diarrhea."


"I gave the medication some points because once I started taking it I immediately experienced a decrease in appetite.  I took 10 mg In the morning and 10 mg At night.  The first side effect was dry mouth and the second was a crushing headache.  I read this site and decided to work through it.  On day 3 I developed a huge rash on my inner thigh and then on my shoulders.  I had strange nightmares and felt out of sorts.  I then had irritability and snapped at my husband and young son on several occasions after day 5. On day six I stood up and felt dizzy and weird.  I developed anxiety and felt upset. By day 8 my husband and I talked and looked up the contents of the medicine.  Serotonin stood out to me.  I stopped taking it.  Run."


"I was prescribed tramadol 50 mg for a herniated disc. Two days ago I was not able to move because of the pain, I even had my legs buckle a couple times due to intense bursts of pain. 1 pill will dull the pain to a manageable level, 2 stops it completely. It does make me a little sleepy, but drinking coffee during the day kept me alert enough to work. I've had no problems achieving an erection, but have not been able to "finish". That is the only side effect I've experienced to far. I am taking it with naproxen as an anti-inflammatory."


"I was on this pill for 4-5 years. I never realized how crazy it made me until I came off of it! I seriously constantly thought about eating and was never satisfied. The first month I was off my appetite cut in half and I lost 8 lbs! (138 to 130, so it's not like 8 lbs was insignificant). Since then I've dropped another 3 - doing absolutely NOTHING. I had a weird constant white/yellow discharge on this pill for over a year that my Drs couldn't explain . I'm not sure if all of this is just from this particular pill or if I'd be like this on any HBC, but after my first month off I felt so much better I decided to get the copper IUD instead of a new hormonal option."


"I've had acne prone skin for as long as my memory allows and it never really seemed to be calm. This past year my scaring and acne seemed to be at its height. Recently, the doctor had prescribed Adapalene gel to me and I was automatically seeing the already on my face pimples disappear and my skin got softer. However, I am now on week 4 and half and my acne is getting to be awful all over again. I have not experienced skin sensitivity or peeling like my doctor said to expect, but its so much breakouts I feel like its worse than before. However, I do notice my scars are lightened tremendously, I just can't seem to patient enough to wait to see my pimples clear up."


"Honestly the worst medicine ever. People who invented should be sued. I mean what we're they thinking????? It sent my mom to ER after 3 days and she was admitted for 8 days in hospital. She is still recovering. It will give you tons of pain all over your body, head, jaw, and more. It will make you unstable. I mean seriously the inventor of this medicine should be cursed the rest of his or her life. "


"It only works with me if I take 40 mg and am reasonably relaxed. "


"I wanted to write a review because I see so many people saying it caused them side effects, so I wanted to share a positve review so potential users aren't afraid to try it.
I had no side effects whatsoever from this drug. I've been on it for 8 years and haven't gotten pregnant so it is definitely effective. And a bonus has been much lighter periods."


"I had a Colonoscopy which was the first one I had. I am 54 years old and elected to have this to be proactive.  I have to say I am normally nervous when General Anesthesia is administered because the first time I had surgery (Neck Surgery) I had a violent reaction involving nausea and vomiting. I had never had Diprivan (propofol) as an anesthetic but I was told by the Doctor that this medicine has an anti-nausea effect. He was absolutely correct. It was an awesome experience.  I am a person who gets sick from taking even mild pain pills and any kind of anesthesia.  I have to say it was great. I had no side effects whatsoever. The recovery time was nothing. I felt great when I came out of it. It felt like taking a short nap."


"Occasionally I take this for my migraines when I run out of my Midrin. I also have severe neck pain of unknown cause. Works very well, but I'm careful not to take it all the time because I know it is addictive."


"Zoloft works for me. I've tried other medicines, and had too many unfavorable side effects. Zoloft has just sort of evened me out. I can cope now, with therapy of course. I'd recommend Zoloft for anyone who has bad side effects from other medicines, and who is getting therapy too. I'm on a high dose, and my doctor wants to start weaning me off soon, so the therapy is key, I think."


"I broke my arm and severely messed my back up in a car accident.  I have had sciatic pain for 2 year. With Percocet, gabapentin and Zanaflex I am able to function correctly."


"GAS like you wouldn't even believe. I'm actually afraid to leave the house! I felt it working right after I took the first two pill.

Cautiously optimistic, still 4 days to go."


"I had very bad acne problem, especially my on my face. I had it for a long time and nothing helped much. Then I started having them on my hair, I bought Oxigel and it has since worked miracles for me. All my acne is gone and also the scars though some times mild acne come back though it has almost cleared up."


"I've been on all kinds of birth control since having my son 21 years ago. I got on Trinessa cause my current insurance doesn't cover for the Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo I was on before. I'm almost 40 and have had a problem with acne my whole life, even while being on the Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo. Well I am VERY happy with Trinessa because my face has cleared up & looks beautiful for the 1st time in my life! My periods only last 4 days which is awesome. So far I've been on Trinessa almost a year & will definitely continue it."


"I have been taking this medication for about a week now and my main purpose for it was to regulate and lighten my periods as well as help with acne.  After 4 days of taking it, I kept waking up with really bad cramps and brown spotting which is really annoying.  I feel bloated all the time and I experience really bad gas pain.  I also have really bad headaches and felt nauseous everyday so far.  I really hope all this stuff starts to subside and starts working."


"Started epiduo 3 weeks ago for my cystic acne. I have been using proactive for years and it helps with small acne, but did nothing for the hormonal breakouts monthly. All I can say is I wish I would have found epiduo years ago. I love it. My skin is clear, not perfect but so much better. My skin is not dried out like on proactive, and it just is finally smoothing out again.  No more big bumps on jaw line and if something starts to pop up, the epiduo works so fast to take care of it. Love this product. I use it nightly and only a small amount for my face and under chin area. I'm giving it a 9 out of 10 because I've only been on it for 3 weeks, but so far so good"


"I've taken this medication for 8 months and i am satisfied. I mean just about as satisfied as can be with birth control. Personally no matter what birth control I have been on, I have always experienced a lower sex drive but I guess that's just a sacrifice I've learned to live with but other than that my body reacted very well to it. No noticeable weight gain, and no mood swings and it definitely helped with cramps."


"I was given this medication after my insurance stopped covering Embrel (which worked awesome for me) the beginning of 2015. To me, this medication what the worst of all worst for my body. While taking this medication, I experience every side effect that it stated and never subsided. I experienced massive headaches, diarreah, and MAJOR weight loss. I had lost 10 - 15 pounds within a 3 month period. Now that iT has been almost a year in a half, I am STILL struggling to gain my weight back. The extreme weight loss now has caused joint issues that has prevented me from doing my daily routine activities. It didn't do much for my plaque psoriasis either. I wouldn't suggest this medication to anyone."


"I had an IV drip of Dilaudid for herniated discs in my neck. Then I took 2 x 4mg pills. It helped a little with the pain. I have Lyme and Fibromyalgia so my whole body is in pain usually an 8-10 or higher 24/7, 365 a year. I take Dilaudid often but it barely takes the edge off. It should be very helpful for a person not on pain killer long term and they need relief very fast for severe pain. Morphine drip and Dilaudid drip both felt about the same to me even though Dilaudid is supposed to be stronger."


"I've read pages of these reviews after a second sleepless night due to itching and burning after application. I have blisterform eczema, for 7 tests now. I'm a 26yo female. The eczema is on my feet and is triggered by stress and sweating... and stress causes more sweating. My detmatologist prescribed this for me. Day 1 the sweat was 85% gone and very few new blisters appeared (only 4 when I normally get 10-20/day). It itches and burns pretty bad but I'm toughing through it and am looking forward to tomorrows results (day 2). When I'm blister free I'm going to get my first pedicure ever!"


"I have been on Contrave since jan 23rd 2015.  The first month I did not notice a difference in my eating habits but I lost 2 pounds.  I did experience constipation almost every day in the first 3 weeks which gradually dissipated.  As of today I have lost 9 pounds (7 in the last 5 weeks).  I have found that I have lost my urges to overeat and to snack.  I have also noticed that I eat less during meals.  I am not trying to diet.  All of a sudden I just noticed that I am not thinking about food at all.  I have been only eating when I am hungry. (my stomach is literally growling before I think about it).  The one thing that I have been feeling that I am not sure is related to the drug or not is feeling dizzy when I ride the chairlift skiing."


"I didn't realize it at the time but this stuff really did literally make me bipolar! I never considered myself bipolar before this medication. It made me not be able to sleep for days at a time, made my normal moods worse at times, and just over all set off mental conditions that I don't normally have issue's with, and at the time I didn't see or understand that, now."


"I have been using buspirone (Buspar) along with Cymbalta for depression and anxiety for about 2 years now.  It did take a while to get my regimen figured out as far as how much to take and when to take it, but now that I take it regularly and consistently, my life has changed.  The side effects were horrible at first, including stomach aches and severe dizziness, but they have mostly subsided.  I take mine with food in the morning, and if I'm having an extra stressful day, I can take one in the afternoon or evening.  It definitely calms my nerves.  I feel normal again instead of in a cloud of depression and anxiety.  It may not work for everyone, but it has worked for me and I will continue taking it."


"This is a great low level breakthrough pain medication for people who do not have a tolerance built up for pain medications."


"I'm 18. I've been on this pill for 5 months and I am switching as soon as possible. This pill causes me to have intense cramps. Not just while I'm on my period, but all month long. They are so painful I have to lay down in a fetal position until they stop, which is usually 15-30 minutes. Besides the extreme pain, I also experienced bad mood swings. The week before and the week I'm on my period I am a raging animal. It is very hard to control. I've used several other birth control pills in the past two years but I have never experienced PMS like this before."


"I started Tenuate in Mid March and now am down 40  lbs. I use Tenuate along with a low calorie diet and moderate exercise.  I just reached one of my first goals which was to be <200 lbs.  That was a big step for me.  I haven't been this small since my first pregnancy back in 1995.  I still have a long way to go but I am very happy with the outcome this far.  I usually skip the Tenuate on the weekends because I tend to not eat breakfast on weekends.  If I don't eat an hour or so after taking the pill in the mornings, I get a little jittery. I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose big numbers. I weigh in with my doctor once a month and she monitors my blood pressure, etc. Couldn't be happier."


"This drug has IMPROVED my grand-daughter's life 100 %. Words cannot express my gratitude. She now is living up to all that she can be and do and the family is loving it. "


"I am 19 years old with severe acne. I took this when I was around 16 or 17 for about 3 months. I was never happier with how my face looked I had absolutely not one pimple after taking this for 3 months BUT I stopped taking it because I was happy with the results when I was supposed to take it for 9 months. Don't do that! Because my acne came back almost just as bad. I hear if you take it for the full amount it works though. I honestly had no real side effects. I think because I only took it for 3 months."


"I have had the Para guard for about 9 months now.  I was opting for the essure procedure when I went to the doctors. After personally looking at the coils and getting info from the gyne, I decided on the para guard instead. I am happy with it. It didn't hurt at all having it put in. Just a little tugs and minutes later it was in. the first month was really heavy bleeding for days. Since I have had it in for 9 months now, it has gotten less bleeding, but I still have one day a month it is really heavy. No spotting during the month."


"I've been on this medication for about two weeks.  5mg in the morning and at night.  I also take Topamax 125 mg twice a day.  Remereon, 30 mg at night.  Klonopin 0.5 twice a day as needed.  I feel the Saphris calms me down but after my nightly dose, I get the hunger pains very bad and I eat and eat.  This is not good for me.  In the morning it is very hard to wake up and my sleep is not very deep.   I was on Seroquel in the past, a small dose at night and my hunger was not this bad and my sleep was better.  I hope being on Seroquel will work again."


"Weight gain within days of starting with this birth control and bloated."


"I don't normally do any "social media" reviews - only if something is really bad or really good.  Well, Soolantra is really "good"!  Have been on Oracea for almost two years and it is doing what it can, and I'm happy with it.  However, my Dr. added Soolantra four months ago to use daily.  Well .... what a difference this had made.  My face is soft, the white and blackheads are basically gone.  Would highly recommend - give it a month and you will see and feel the difference.  Has helped with the redness of nose and face as well."


"Started Humira in April 2013 and I have lost lots of hair and have skin issues. I have also lost weight and have no appetite. I also am on Diflucan for Valley fever. "


"1st 2 days were great. Took it on an empty belly, felt that euphoric feeling that people mention. Did have trouble sleeping that night. Woke up every 1 to 2 hours. Skip to day 3 I was so exhausted about 2 hours after taking the Phentermine. Doctor suggested to wait longer to eat after taking them. That did the trick. By this time I was taking Unisom or Zzzquil to help sleep at night. That works wonders. Now I'm 3 weeks in and have lost 4 pounds. I would have liked to seen amazing results like everybody else but I'll take the 4 lbs. Also I'm only on 15 mg. I started at 203 and am at 199. I go in for my 1 month checkup and we'll see what he thinks of the progress."


"Viibryd has been an effective medicine for me. I've never been on a anti-depressant before and was a bit weary of being on one for my newly diagnosed depression. Thanks to my doctor he told me how to take this properly to avoid negative issues and have success.  I started 10mg for 2 weeks and 20mg the next to weeks. I did have stomach issues but he told me I would because of a chemical called serotonin that is made in the stomach but travels to the nervous system to regulate my mood "strange"  therefore I would feel gassy but did go away after a week my body adjusting. Also strange was despite gassy feeling I was out with friends who I surprised with my presence at another friends party.  It felt good to be out!  I am staying on 20mg."


"On a low dose (25mg) but helped with anxiety and depression, i feel much better since ive been on it. helped lower feelings of sadness and anxiety, makes it easier to live life."


"Hi I am a 52 year old man who has had MS for about 18 years (SMPS) I'm on a lot of hormones for other problems which have helped masked the MS symptoms but not so any more, I'm now on Ty and have had 5 infusions and have not noticed any changes better or worse no side effects, I hope for a miracle but who knows, I'm JC neg and have a lot of trust in my Neurologist, lets all hope for a better tomorrow cost is 0 as Australia medicare pays"


"I started saxenda a littler less than a month ago. I am 5'6 and started out at 201lb. I just got weighted yesterday at doc and am now 194lb. So I lost some weight but not that much. I haven't changed anything with eating/activity level but notices I eat way less than I did. I am still not at the full dosage I am taking that slow and just started getting welts at the injection site. This is not enough to make me stop. I want to see if this goes away in its own. I will update in another month while trying to eat more health and increasing my activity level."


"My boyfriend and I have been together for a year, long story short his cheating ex had given him std's (curable ones), but had also passed  herpes, dormant until 3 months ago. Surprise! It was mild and didn't look like herpes at all, but then I got it much worse, all over genitals, cold sores and eye infection. I was prepared for weeks of pain and the antiviral meds would speed it up but not stop the process. The blisters came (not popping yet) I read about lysine, took 3g a day for 3 days. I kid you not, it reversed my first outbreak. Cold sores dried up and scabbed over, blisters never burst, just shrunk and disappeared. I never had to deal with the ulcers. Gone in 3 days after using it. This is a miracle drug!"


"I have brain tumors and Fioricet works wonders. It makes the pain go away in about an hour. I couldn't live without this wonder drug."


"52 year old female with years of frequency, especially nighttime.  Have been taking Detrol LA for 1.5 years at bedtime.  Worked very well until recently when I started having to get up at night again.  Doctor is prescribing Synvasc but I'm not crazy about the idea of having to take it an hour before I can eat."


"This medicine has literally given me my life back.  It stops the diarrhea and I do not have the constant urge to have to use the bathroom anymore.  I recommend it to anyone suffering from ibs d."


"This was one of the first IBS-D medicine I have taken. It worked somewhat, but it made me forget everything. And I mean EVERYTHING."


"Took my first dose of 20 mg of Levitra tonight, and it worked perfectly! I had a meal before, so it took longer, but when it kicked in, my wife was a very happy camper afterwards. Only side effects are flushed skin on the face, and mild-moderate headache after. Also felt dizzy and not so stable on my feet for a bit, but that is now gone. Multiple erections possible, but my wife crashed out after the first time. I am back in the game!"


"I was told to take this medication with food, which I did.  Within an hour I had overwhelming nausea and diarrhea and then vomiting for several hours after that. "


"Worked for me within 10 days.  I was using a leg brace and cane, and once it started working I've never used them since.  Most annoying side effect is frequent bladder infections, but work with a urologist to control them.  This drug saved my life."


"I have to swallow two tablets an hour before I expect motion sickness to occur (getting on a plane, riding in a car, etc.) and it totally works. Doesn't work instantly for me though. I also took this for nausea due to pregnancy and it helped with that too. I highly recommend Bonine!"


"I was taking Lyrica following a trial of Cymbalta failed miserably.  I was titrated up to 150 mg twice a day.  4 days following the last increase in dose I noticed substantial foot and lower leg swelling. I promptly stopped taking the medication following consulting my physician."


"I have been using the Fentanyl patch for about 10 days now (50mcg), and it works very well. I also use Norco 10/325 for breakthrough pain. I was previously on MS-Contin 45mg/3 x per day with Norco for breakthrough pain, and it didn't work half as good as the patch. I have adhesive arachnoiditis, and the Fentanyl patch has been the only medicine that allows me to walk around the house.  I was bedridden otherwise.  The only issue I have with it is the medicine doesn't seem to last the whole 72 hrs, only about 64 hrs.  I place the patch on the side of my abdomen, where movement is minimal, and it seems to stay in place better than on my arm or anywhere else."


"I take effexor, lamictal, ativan which are not helping too much.  My doc gave me Trazodone to help with sleeping.  I feel very groggy when waking up.  It's not helping me with depression but helps me sleep."


"After years of not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep and after trying Lunesta and Ambien I was tired. Sonata works great for me and I don't wake up groggy or hung over. I feel great for the first time in my life. I have fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome and it is essential to get sleep. I feel refreshed and ready to go in the mornings.....love it. Thankful my doctor said to give it a try. Hope this helps."


"I highly recommend trying this medicine.  I've been suffering with extreme anxiety/ocd for years.  Tried lexapro(bad weight gain & didnt feel any different), elavil(did the same as lexapro) and pristiq(made me feel worse).  Finally I went to a psychiatrist & he immediately put me on zoloft 25 mg (sertraline) & small dose of xanax (alprazolam).  We planned out to slowly iincrease up to 200 mg within a few months. Eventually made it to the max dose 6 months later, along with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).  I’ve had a few side effects (memory loss, stomach problems) but that's it.  I can finally go throughout my days & function.  Some days are just crap though, which happens.  Changed my life & am so thankful."


"I have been on Reclipsen for about two years now. It does it's job by preventing pregnancy and I get my periods regularly. I haven't tried skipping my period yet though. Closer to my period I get moody but what girl doesn't, I also crave weird things while on my period. I started to get migraines, I'm not sure if it is because of the birth control however. I used to get then really bad about a year into taking birth control but now my migraines are less frequent. Like I said, I'm not sure if it is because of the medication or not. Otherwise my face is clear, always has been. I didn't gain any weight nor my hair didn't grow. I plan to keep being on Reclipsen but it can be annoying to take a pill everyday."


"I have had HPV for a couple years now and I'm 21 now, My GW signs didn't show til I turned 19 I was dealing with pain from my gastro reflux disease feeling hopeless & being embarrassed to go to the doctor I finally went and she apply some cream two times I came to see her and it did nothing and I was hopeless embarrassed of my warts bc they have raised and are big and I went to her and asked to cut them off but now I see that if I would have researched more I wouldn't be going thru the pain of getting them poked with burning numbing meds that don't work fully bc I could feel her cutting them it was horrible I damn near don't wanna have sex anymore bc of this surgery smh I should have just used Imiquimod and now its been 5days I'm healing good"


"Bone on bone both knees. Retired RN

68 12hour shifts for 21 years really hard on the knees. Walked in to Orthopedic unable to put any weight on right leg without pain. After first injection pain was gone. Got #2 and #3 a week apart. No pain for two years!"


"I have been taking Plaquenil for about 2 months. I started out with 200 mg/1x day along with Prednisone to treat my RA, slowly tapering off the steroids. Now I am just on Plaquenil.

I have to say that the pain is still there, especially in the morning and late evening. Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep, but I gave it a 6 because it is nothing like before when I took no medication.  Perhaps it works better for others?  I still have the swelling and stiffness in the mornings, but, as I said, nothing like before.

It also only gets a 6 because the headaches I get while taking it are debilitating.  I sometimes wonder if the trade off is worth it?  They start about 30 minutes after taking it and last until I manage to fall asleep. Sigh."


"I had bad ibs c for almost 10 years I'm a 23 yr old male that has tried everything and had enough of it I tryed linzess 290mg and it was too much I was very excited I went down to 145mg and now I have my life back I was so worried about leaving my house but now it's the total opposite this drug is a miracle drug for me. What I normally do is take the 145mg at 9am drink water then till 930 then at 935 I will eat and relax, in a hour or little more I will have a bm, the rest of the day I will hardly go but I will feel good no bloating no tummy acke no worries!!! I hope this helped!"


"I have been taking Lamictal for almost two months. It has worked great for my Bipolar Disorder. It at first gave me severe stomach pains with diarrhea that subsided after a week or so. I noticed I'm more sensitive to foods now. Like for example I cannot eat tomato products anymore (I used to be allergic when I was younger). And also greasy foods make me very sick (which may be due to my gallbladder removal). But over all good results from this drug!"


"My sister had multiple myeloma, she took this drug for about 2 months. She developed a blood clot in her heart and died 2 days ago from a cardiac arrest while she was at the hospital. Her quality of life before this was zero while taking revlimid."


"This is a miracle drug for me. I have spinal cord damage and I would pee my pants several times a day and had to use poise pads all the time .
  As a woman I was absolutely miserable because I never feel clean. I am so grateful to my physician for recommending this drug to me"


"I was prescribed this for fibromyalgia, I've tried it several times at low doses and have had a horrible experience. I can not explain this but within an hour of taking lyrica I get the most severe tooth pain, like every tooth suddenly has a hole in it ? I went to my dentist the first time NO HOLES?? My doctor thought it was amusing ? Bizarre. My real problem is the next morning after taking lyrica I have horrendous stomach pain for days, hurts to urinate, poop or fart. Feels like I really have to push to urinate, my doctor said sounds like stomach/intestine inflammation which is on the common side, so I've been taken off it. I will say I sleep like a baby after taking it!"


"Naltrexone is a godsend! My addiction is in my head and this drug helps me big time. I have been alcoholic 4 thirty years and I feel so free from the chains of that goddamn bottle!!"


"This is the best thing ever. I was suffering from no desire to go to work, I couldn't wake up, I was always late, I lost my motivation to accomplish things, I was anti-social and really just hating myself and life. I was also flustered, confused, feeling out of control and miserable. I started Wellbutrin and by the third day I could REALLY feel the difference. My mind starter to clear, I wasn't hazy, my motivation was back and I could wake up early. This has been an answer to prayers. The study of the brain and body with science is amazing. I'm very thankful."


"It works great as long as you are NOT allergic to sulfa drugs, sulfates or sulfites!  If you are allergic to any of those, you might want to talk to your doctor before you take albuterol sulfate.  It made my asthma worse, every time I used it.  Once I stopped using it, my asthma was nearly gone by the next day.  It turned out that not only can't I use sulfa drugs, I cannot use this medication to quickly stop an asthma attack.  Unfortunately, I know three other people (friends of mine) who had the same reaction to this inhaler. They also, are allergic to sulfa drugs. The drug companies need to come up with an albuterol inhaler that does not use sulfates."


"Took 1 injection. Found out I could not afford it because Medicare won't pay. Have never experienced a FLAIR of this nature. I am in so much pain it is unbearable. Hope it goes away soon. I cannot bear it!"


Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cough

"I took two tablets at 9am yesterday, followed by about 5-6 bottles of water. Sure the congestion and cold went away significantly, but I could not sleep til about 430am! I work a 12 hour shift, and had to call out from work. Needless to say, this medicine is going in the garbage. Heart palpitations, anxiety and insomnia!"


"Works great.  You still need to get aroused for it to work, but that seems much easier as well.  The first time I took it I had to wait 3 hours for the effect, so don't panic if it doesn't work after an hour.  It was definitely worth the wait. I was afraid it wouldn't work for me at first.  Put it out of my mind, and three hours later....POW.  Just try to relax and enjoy."


"Adderall is overall a good ADD medicine. The only side effects I get are insomnia and weight loss but it really does work for school."


"I switched from butrans patch (which caused some itching and did not seem to last past day six) to Belbuca.  I am on day 4 and have no pain relief.  I have severe diabetic neuropathy an the butrans made the pain manageable, especially at night.  The film does not completely dissolve, I do not recommend trying this medication unless you have some sort of back up medication for pain relief."


"I experience chronic constipation due to the medications I am on, if I don't take something, I cannot go!  I use Milk of Magnesia for work days when I want to be in control of my bowels, as it is less "demanding" than stimulant laxatives.

IMPORTANT!  For best effects, take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with a full glass of water, the more the better.  Depending on the condition of your bowels, it will kick in between 4 hours to 12 hours.  I take the maximum recommended dosage and it will move my bowels enough to make me comfortable for a day or so.   I use a stimulant laxative on weekends to flush my bowels out and prepare me for another week.  This works for me well, personally."


"I had not been stung by a wasp in 28 years and then within a week got stung twice. The first time I did not go to the doctor for 24 hours and got a cortisone shot and had a lot of swelling, itching and burning. 6 days later got stung again and this time my hand swelled and burned and I went to doctor right away. I got 6 day dose pack and was instructed to take the first day dose all at once then follow instructions for remaining 5 days. About an hour after taking medication the itching, burning quit and by morning there was no swelling or pain. Now I have to keep an Epipen with me."


"My dosage is 27 mg and I take it in the morning before I go to school. It tends to ware off by 12."


"One use and my skin has already started to clear"


"Had a pneumonia shot at 45. Said I would never need another. Being 63 and diabetic doctor recommended one. No worse than a flu shot. Arm was a little sore so took Advil and slept on other side. Felt fine the next day."


"Helped to control my diabetes. No side effects now I am in the normal range."


"I've used Lovaza for about 8 months and triglycerides are now 900, before it was 3000. My family, sister and father have very high triglycerides. This is the only drug that has ever worked for me and I've used them all. I got my sister to tell her Doctor about it and he put her on Omacor, hers went from 1000 to 250 in 3 months. I just wonder how common this illness is. "


"the SAME unbearable itch and discomfort happened to me but now that I rinsed it off in the shower am I supposed to use another product? or wait a few days? I'm not sure what the next step is!"


"I've been on this for less than a month. I was recommended by my doctor and after considering the patch, chose Nexplanon because of its convenience. I don't have to do anything at all. Nothing to remember. In the first couple weeks, I noticed some mood swings, but that could have been because of the amount of stress I was under (college). I have had frequent brown discharge but I've read that that's just my system regulating and clearing out the old blood. Other than that, no problems. I'm due to get my period tomorrow but am not having any of the normal symptoms, so I don't think it'll come."


"I was having premature ventricular contractions.  While I have only been on this drug a few days, I am noticing a lessening of the PVC's and actually starting to feel better.  I also take spironolactone at a low dose.  The only side effect I am noticing is a feeling of anxiety which I cannot directly connect with this drug.  I have not had problems with driving or any other activities.  This is also the first blood pressure medicine that has not left me lightheaded or dizzy.  So far so good!  Let's hope this one has a long term safety record as I'd like to stay on this one."


"I love my Implanon! It wasn't that painful with the insertion. It bruised for a week. But when you get it first put in you will probably bleed a little for a day or two but after that no periods! Well in my experience I had no periods. It's almost been a year since I had it inserted and I am never scared to get pregnant. I had no negative side effects at all. No weight gain or chemical imbalances.

Implanon is the way to go. I was skeptical at first because of these negative views but remember those are extreme cases. I have many family members who are on Implanon and share the same positive experience as I did!"


"I got Nexplanon a month after giving birth. Getting it was quick & easy! It made my period lighter but every since I've had it I haven't stopped spotting. I wear liners every day & have been since insertion. My mood swings have been horrible & I can't stop eating. I've been tired too. Overall I love it & its working fine for now."


"Several weeks after using Trilipix, my hair started to fall out.  Everyday, I had to clean large clumps of hair out of my hairbrush. About 2 weeks after stopping using the drug (it was the only change in any of my routines) my hair was back to normal. "


"I was diagnosed 8 yrs ago with ADD, at 45 I wish I'd had  this info and medication. My life has changed for the better. I do  notice a major difference in the pink 30 mg   verses the orange. The pink ones make me feel like I'm a zombie. They also make me sad and I get red blotches over my body."


"I'm 38 years old and I'm wish I had found this sooner. I remember going to the Prom and being so embarrassed because I was sweating so much I didn't want to lift my arms up to dance.  I've only used it for 4 days (every other day) and I just can't believe it!  I put it on the first night - a little burning but it wasn't that bad.  The next morning I was so scared to go anywhere without a regular deodorant but I couldn't believe I didn't sweat the whole day!  It really works!  I've been stuck trying tons of regular deodorants over the years and nothing has worked.  I'm dry and smell good now."


"I have been on Tenoretic 50 for almost 4 months. I was originally on atenolol 50 mg until went to doctor after getting several high blood pressure readings. Highest was 157/101 when went to doctor. He prescribed this and took a while to get numbers down along with some lifestyle changes but my numbers have come down to the normal range. I have not experienced any side effects. I use the restroom often anyway, but have noticed I wake up some nights to use it more often than I did beforehand. I take my dose in the afternoon before dinner so I don't wake up in morning with a racing heart. So for now, so far, so good!  I recommend if you and your doctor think this is right for you. I monitor my blood pressure, but haven't had any blood tests yet."


"I started taking zoloft the other day. I only took 2 days worth and at first I just felt out of it and I heard that was common but then I started having even worse panic attacks and trouble sleeping. In the middle of the night the second night I starting having mild hallucinations. Things were moving and just looking weird and I had to wakeup my fianc"


"Blood glucose levels do not bounce around as much since I began using this."


"I have arthritis in both knees. One is severe bone on bone the other is moderate. So they started injections in my left knee first as the right one wasn't bothering me too much as the cortizone shots was still slightly effective. So got two shots not too bad as far as pain. Go get the 3rd one and the doctor didn't take her time like before to find just the right spot and she injected me. As soon as she started putting the fluid into my knee I felt a burning liquid feeling going from the injection site (the outside of my knee to the inside of my knee) It didn't stop there. It felt as she put more in like my knee was going to explode out the side. I was not expecting that. I just held my breath and when she was done I said. Wow that hurt. Why"


"Terrible!! I was spotting the entire time I was on this birth control pill so obviously not effective. Would not recommend, only got put on this version because my insurance didn't cover my other brand. Will be paying out of pocket and switching back."


"I had the Implanon inserted in June 2011 and had it taken out recently in June 2014 when my three year mark was up. I'm giving it a six because it did prevent pregnancy in my case. Pros from my experience: No periods & no pregnancies.
Cons from my experiences: 80lbs weight gained(I also had some family issues, work & school. Not blaming it all on the birth control). NO sex drive at all I was never in the mood, and my feet seemed to get bigger. Other than that its a great birth control. It works effectively on other people. Some have no weight gain and some do. I do recommended this because it does work great for preventing pregnancy!"


"I have been on Tenuate for three months and along with a healthy low carb diet, I have lost 22 pounds. I asked the Doctor for a prescription with little to no side effects. This medication has succeeded. "


"I had RLS in the evening and while sleeping for years.
Finally brought it up with my doctor.  I now take 0.25 mg Mirapex morning and evening.  It works for me.  If I run out for a couple days,  the restless legs and fidgities come right back.  No negative side effects that I know of."
