"Had flaking scalp for so long, noting helped, had to see dermatologist, she prescribed Olux, can't believe it, but problem was gone after 3 applications! I wish I ask for help earlier!"


"I have been on Portia off and on for the past few years. My pharmacy kept telling me that Levora was the same which seemed pretty true. I have NO PERIOD. I thought something was wrong with me but nope, I got all checked out by a OB and the pill just causes me to not bleed which is fine by me, I do however get sore breast every month when it should be my period and I have slight mood swings. Overall I think it's a good pill."


"I took this medication for 9 years and I believe it had an accumulative effect on me.
I weened myself off and am still having problems sleeping and am now more irritable than ever.  I was also on Dilantin and phenobarbital.  I wish I had found this site when researching this medication.  Initially it did help me and I had good results but I had to break the dosage in half."


"Was diagnosed with Hepc in 2015 and started harvoni a few months later... shortly after starting I experienced hair loss, severe depression... skin issues, severe dehydration even though I was drinking tons of water also memory issues.  When I reported this I was told these were not reported side effects but if they were would clear up after treatment was over. Well it has been a year and I still have terribly dry skin and feel terrible, muscles aches, tiredness and I was doing half marathons and felt great before. My skin has aged terribly, memory issues, still feel dried out all the time all of which I never had before treatment. Although I am cleared of the virus I wish I had never taken harvoni . I feel it has ruined my life."


"DO NOT TAKE SUPREP. It is awful. I could hardly get it down and keep it down. After every gulp or sip I gagged and I actually vomited twice. However it did clean me out. I ended up not even taking one whole bottle of it and I was clear/yellow just like the doc wanted. I feel that this medication is worse tasting and not as effective as the 98 cent stuff you can get from any grocery store. I am still feeling the aftermath of the prep 5 days later. My stomach is still cramping and I still feel like vomiting and I'm having frequent bowel movements. If your doc says they won't do your test unless you take Suprep like mine did, then find another doctor."


"My first mirena was awesome. After my child was born I bled for months non-stop and cramps were unbearable. Once inserted within 2 weeks the bleeding and cramping ceased to exist!! Getting the mirena only caused mild cramping for a couple hours when it was inserted. I am now going in for my second mirena. I had my 4th child 7months ago and just started getting really bad cramps. It doesn't work for everybody but I know it works perfect for me. The first time I had it in for 3 1/2 years and only removed it because I wanted another child. I love it!"


"Was infected back in October 2015. Started TRIUMEQ 25 days ago. First 5 days were unbearable hated every minute of it until I changed my time taking the pill to nighttime. So far 20 days later no side effects anymore used to get headaches, joint pain, muscle pain. Diagnosed with VL of 10,000 and CD4 of 562. Will update once I get my monthly result next week. Trillium Drug Benefit covers most of out of pocket and my families insurance covers the rest. I only pay around 450$ a year."


"I got oral herpes on my face when I was in the orange in russia. I've had it seen I was younger. I'm 22 now and deal with this. I hate it. But the medication is very effective  for me. I'm currently between doctors and ran our of my pills :(.. and I have a flare up. To much stress lately. I don't know how it feels to have genital herpes but I can tell you having it on my cheeks burns like crazy. Ugh..this cream isn't doing anything either."


"19 years old. I experienced acne since 12 on chest, face, neck, and extending to my entire back. Beginning my third month of Claravis and I have ENTIRELY been cured of my acne. I no longer have any pimples and I don't wear makeup anymore. It's incredible.

Side effects: chapped lips. First month: Fatigue"


"A doctor prescribed this for an inner ear infection caused by another medication.  I used it twice and the pain in my ear has increased tremendously, there is swelling and itching, my tongue is swelling and everything tastes funny.  I have also had 3 episodes of dizziness, and my entire head and face itch.  I'm a veteran, was not able to get this  through the VA because of a weekend emergency, and don't have any other insurance except Medicare, the cost was $222.90, and another $81.00 for another oral medicine that I could only take one time and had to throw it up.  Hopefully my ears will eventually heal themselves without any more help from the doctor because I can't afford being a guinea pig."


"I have Crohns' Disease along with GERD and Prilosec works very well for me. I live by the stuff, it's the only thing that has ever worked."


"i used this as a treatment for my acne and pms symptoms. i dont believe it! this medicine is a miracle! my acne is completely gone! ( ive suffered from acne since i was in 4th grade, doctor medicated cream didnt work on my skin! 14 years ive suffered from acne) and noq my acne completely gone, and not only my acne completely gone, my pores also become invincible. say good bye to my nasty oily skin! now i only wash my face with warm water! (no soap no toner or chemicals thing whatsoever) with yasmin my pms sympton and cramps are also gone! this is the best medicine that work! it balance your hormon and reduce oily skin!"


"I'm 36 yrs old. I've battled with constipation for as long as I can remember. It got so bad I was taking a pill laxative once weekly routinely, which as you know was painful. I got Linzess 290 samples from my Dr. Took at 4pm. In less than 2 hrs, I felt my stomach rumble as if I may have diarrhea. Thank goodness near a bathroom. Anyway cleared me out, no pain. I take it when I want to go. It works, just be near a bathroom. I swear I can't live without it now. Being constipated far worse than diarrhea any day in my opinion!"


"Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 32, apparently the sweet spot for diagnosis. Started taking Avonex about 10 years ago and welcomed the Pen, haven't had any MS symptoms for over 3 years. Still get 'flu like symptoms'. I take extra strength Ibuprofen before injection and it helps to make life easier to handle."


"Take action worked for me!"


"Twenty years ago (in my mid thirties) I began to suffer from excruciating headaches.  My doctor put me on progesterone cream, and there was some improvement.  He thought that PMS was a contributing factor.  I had a cardiac arrest  when I was 38.  Nothing was found to be wrong with my heart, but I was going through an emotional crisis at the time.  The cardiologist put me on atenolol (25 mg/day; I now take 50 mg/day).  I was put on the atenolol to keep my blood pressure down and keep my heart from beating too fast in emotional situations.  The upside to all this is that I have not had but a couple of migraines in 20 years, and none since the dose was increased to 50 mg."


"I got prescribed Doryx, along with two topicals, Aczone in the morning and Ziana at night, when I was having moderate acne. I never have had extremely bad acne but I started to get multiple extremely painful pimples so I decided to get some treatment. The Doryx along with the two topicals work great, still get a few pimples here and there but much better than before. HOWEVER, with the coverage on my insurance this pill costs me $75 for a bottle of 30, 200mg tablets. It was $25 when I first started taking it about a year and a half ago and has just gone up in price ever since. Works great but is extremely expensive in my opinion."


"I started Contrave 3/18/15...it is now 6/27/15....I went from 226 to 175lbs. This medication is amazing. I do not experience anything unusual, I have increased my exercise 200% and no longer eat at night. The program that goes with it Scaledown helps me monitor my weight so that I can see what foods causes weight gain as well as weight loss. Definitely would recommend this medication!!!"


"I use the vaginal cream.  I started it a couple of years ago for vaginal dryness during the menopause transition.  I was not properly advised about the dosage - which I had stepped down to 2mg twice a week, and started to menstruate again.  Many tests later, it was determined I was using too high a dose.  I stopped for 4 months or so, but have recently restarted, at a lower dose.  The dryness has improved, but my hot flashes are back.  They had subsided when I wasn't using it."


"I have been on Microgestin FE 1.5/30 for 15 months. My doctor prescribed it when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My cycle would not stop for more than two days, then it would start again. As soon as I started the Microgestin, my cycle regulated the first week. After taking it for about a year my periods are extremely light and very short. The side effects I have experienced are acne, oily skin, and terrible mood swings the week before my period begins. I get very angry and irritable for about two days the week prior to my period. In spite of these side effects this pill has been great for me. I have lost 40 lbs with diet and exercise that I was unable to lose before taking this pill. I highly recommend giving it a try."


"This has been a great medication for me. It brought me out of a 4-year-long depression, and I have been on it over a decade with minimal side effects."


"Technically this helped my anemia - got me from ferritin levels of about 5 to 15 in three months. Apparently it should have been much more though, so not sure what I did wrong.

Anyway, it did help most of my bad anemia symptoms - heart palpitations, restless leg, tiredness when just walking to the shops. Downside is that it tends to mess up my digestion - unlike other people here who said it constipates them, it gives me a diarrhoea, especially when I drink it with juice."


"This medication did not work for me at all. It could possibly be because I don't metabolize SSRI's very well but I could not feel any sort of change when on this. It helped a little with my minor OCD which I why I stayed on it for so long but after awhile it just triggered what my doctor said was an underlying mood disorder because I started flip flopping between being content or even emotionless, and being severely depressed. This medication did not help me but I'm not going to say it wouldn't work for other people. I just couldn't take the side effects."


"I have taken monthly injections for the past 6 months.  I had a very difficult time for the first 6 weeks of treatment, but since then have not had many side effects.  I had severe stomach cramping initially, along with migraines and mood swings.  As those side effects subsided, the hot flashes began.  With the hot flashes came nausea and unpredictable crying fits.  My doctor put me on a low dose of Estradiol and Prozac.  Within a few days, I was pretty much back to my old self, minus the horrible belly pains.  I have to say overall the good outweighs the bad."


"Initial insertion was painful but after a few days it got better with the cramping. However after that I had cramping everyday and had to take ibuprofen and the last couple of weeks I had very painful cramps. Went today for my follow up appointment (a month after insertion) to check placement. The sonographer found that I had a ruptured cyst on one of my ovaries she explained that could have been the reason for the recent painful cramps. Looking up adverse reactions on the Bayer's website says that cysts are an adverse reaction. So beware that can happen when you get Kyleena. My doctor said that the IUD doesn't cause cysts but right on their website it's listed as an adverse reaction. I don't know what to make of the IUD  if seems like a lot risks."


"KYBELLA warning it's not worth it . I had KYBELLA injections in January of 2016 and from that day forward I have been so sick, several Dr. Involved I've been to hostipal several times only nobody knew what KYBELLA was.  I'm having short time memory loss , headache , for the last 4 months. More test next week CT SCANS, MRI, X-RAYS DR AFTER DR. RIGHT EYE BLURRY and getting worse by the day. Intentional infection. I've actually contacted an attorney so when I loose my memory or die to fight for my children."


"If this medicine works it's great, however a good amount of the time the patch was as full when it was time to change it as it was when I put it on. Then the side effects they list don't even come close to everything you go through. However ER Staff have stated that most patients taking this drug usually go back on it as the withdrawals are hard to handle."


"I started taking this for acne in high school. The first 2 months, my acne got worse, then after that it totally cleared up. I was so much more confident. I now take it as birth control. Over the past 4 months, I have noticed that I have been was more moody. I will cry over anything and get mad over the smallest things. I'm also always really tired. I did go to my doctor and she asked if I was okay on trinessa because lots of women have really bad mood swings while on it. I was okay then but it definitely has gotten way worse and I'm thinking about switching."


"Wish I would've listened to the reviews I read.

This this is sent from hell, created by Satan himself. I've had it in for 3 weeks and already seeing horrible side effects most women didn't see until they had it in for months. I'm always tired. Always hungry. It hurts my whole arm that it's in. It's caused achy joints in my knees. Constipation leaving me with awful bloating and gassy pain in my stomach. It still feels bruised. My sex drive is completely gone and I can't even have an orgasm anymore. I have no interest in my boyfriend and this all started a week after this thing was in.

I'm calling to get it removed today. I can't stand it anymore and it's not going to ruin my life. Try it if you dare, but I would not recommend it."


"I started with the trial way back in 05/06 and what a difference it made in my life. I lived with that muscle pain for 45 years and tried numerous medications with no lasting relief. When I seen the ad for the trial with  a Dr  I had nothing to lose but 9 different kinds of drugs and their side affects. Although I was at the top of the dosage after 18 months I was pain free for the first time in over ten years with no side affects. Even though we have added low dosage pain medications back in over the years, mainly during the winter, I'm still at a tolerable level with Lyrica. I have recommended this medication to people with explainable nerve pain many times."


"I have been taken Ritalin for about 3 months and it gives me a boost from being sleepy for about a hour. After that I become very tired and sleepy. Maybe I should up my dosage."


"It works for me. Years of PMT now I feel normal."


"Tried many other medications (Paxil,Zoloft,etc) for anixety and OCD and this was a life saver"


"This medication gave me my life back. I could actually get out of my room and do life like a normal person but with a lot more energy than most people. This is definitely not for people with anxiety which is why I take it with buspar but my focus was extremely sharp, and I was able to just nail through daily tasks like a pro and feel really good about it!"


"Best birth control on the market. Please do not get discouraged by all these ridiculous stories. Not only have I suffered from severe anxiety, depression, panic disorder AND ptsd, but these were all BEFORE I started taking Depo-Vera. The shot did not make it any worse, it did not give me mood swings. Yes, you spot... But it's like the first day of your period. Oh my goodness... You get a little blood on your panties. LOL it's life. I'm a hemophiliac and this changed my life for the better. I no longer have periods even after going off the shot for a few months and I'm back on it now ( I've been on the shot for 5 years now) keep in mind this is an intramuscular shot so yes you will have pain the day after and even maybe the next."


"My restless legs syndrome was actually whole body sort of vibrating, and came on very suddenly. 100 mg gabapentin, and I could sleep again! But every month had to add 100mg, got to 1000mg, then tried reducing 100 / month, realized after 2 months that I really needed the 900, not sure if that was withdrawal, but felt like I simply needed that much - so had a really good month. Then suddenly symptoms flared up, and even 1300 only just works. "


"I started belviq Monday May 2nd. I have yet to feel an results. If anything I feel like eating everything I see.. I'm wanting to eat more than I did before starting it. I have read some reviews showing that the medicine took a few weeks to start working. I hope this is my case. I do feel very sleeping after I take it. It is harder for me to get up in the mornings. I feel like I am in such a deep sleep since I have started. I haven't had any headaches but have noticed dry mouth."


"I was on this pill for 4 months. The pros: periods were light and predictable. The cons: nausea and hair loss/thinning. After the results of the hair situation I got off of this pill."


"Had severe urinary tract infection. It was very painful to urinate. After taking only one pill, pain subsided in ten minutes.  I suffer from urinary tract infections frequently and have taken many medicines. This medicine is a miracle for me."


"I have been on clonidine since probably 1985. Was in Navy, went to see doctor before transfer, B/P was 210/118. I was 24. Girl who took my B/P said "you should be dead". No problems before that at all. My doctor says I have "world class" blood pressure. In between, have seen lots of specialists, changed my drugs and dosages, etc. Clonidine is the only thing that seems to work for me. Taking Amlopidine and Lisinopril once a day and clonidine .3mg four times a day. Yes, I know it's a lot but you learn to live with it. I've learned to cut the pills in half and take them twice as often. Levels out the side effects and smooths out blood pressure spikes.Do yourself a favor, if you are on this medication, carry some with you. Don't be caught without"


"Really relieved stiffness and took edge off the pain."


"Lamictal worked like a charm on my mood. I so pleasantly surprised and relieved! I've tried something like 10 medications in an 11-year period and it's been the only thing that's worked. However, it gave me really bad back acne (like, whoa) and made me very physically ill- super swollen lymph nodes in my neck, fever, vomiting & fatigue, etc. I had to stop taking it, but I'd say it's definitely worth a try. In general I'm very susceptible to side effects. I have hypomania, depression, anxiety, ADHD, my mood is super unstable, and Lamictal was prescribed to me because my doctor wanted to stabilize my mood before putting me on a stimulant since stimulants by themselves make me way too hyper."


"Ladies, please be advised some of the ingredients in Monistat 1 may be what you are allergic to. So sorry to hear of all the bad experiences. This is my third time using Monistst 1 and each time it has cleared up my yeast infection. This time, I just got done taking 10 days of antibiotics and I was popping pro biotic 8 to counter the antibiotics killing both my good and bad bacteria. Probiotics are excellent to keep from getting a yeast infection while taking antibiotics. However, yesterday I had a Colposcopy and Biopsy after I had an abnormal pap. Next day, yeast infection. :( Popped this Monistat1 in and it's practically and instant relief."


"Well, with what I have noticed with the Nuvaring is that I'm having HORRIBLE mood swings. I've been on birth control for years and I've had to switch at least 4 times now. I'm going to give this a try for the next month, but my relationship with my boyfriend of 3 years now is on the rocks because of my depression spells. I am tired and have no interest in anything it seems. I have taken this type before but it has been years and I don't remember my symptoms, I do enjoy not having to remember to take a small pill everyday, but I feel better when I'm not on any type of birth control. So like others said - this could be just my reaction and what it does to me- who knows."


"The medication was quite effective in doing what it was supposed to do, but it was really hard to get down.  I tried several of the suggestions here and while they probably helped a little, it was still very, very difficult for me to drink this prep.  The first bottle was awful and the second bottle was even worse.  I did have some butterscotch hard candy that I sucked on in between gulps, which helped a little, but if I have to do it again I think I would try cinnamon candies because they have a much stronger taste.  Since I don't have to do this again for another 5 years, I am just hoping they come up with a better option by then.  Good luck to anyone else that needs to do this."


"Amazing made me sleep the whole night while I had insomnia. I give it a 2 thumbs up"


"My husband is on alandrnate (fosomax) expensive. Severe low back pain, bloating and gas, and ankle pain did not connect the dots. Pain goes on since last April now I have asked him to stop since today have to wait and see. I myself have severe jaw pain took fosomax in those days heart burn continues though I stopped long time ago. I take condratin sodium. My bone reading is from osteoporosis. to osteopenia now."


"About a week ago, I started feeling really nauseous. I hadn't felt like that since I was constipated a few years back and after a couple days went by and no poop, I knew that I'd go through hell once more like before. I decided to get Miralax which within days I thought would work for me but nothing happened. Couple days after I knew something was wrong. Long story short I went to the ER and the doctor told me to get MC. Was only a couple of bucks pretty cheap. They told me not to drink the whole bottle so I took half. Within an hour it came but I felt like not all so the next day I took the rest today. This is the only thing that worked for me!"


"I have lost 50 lbs since 8/08/13. No bad side effects. 30 lbs to go."


"This is truly a mind altering drug. Takes the lust with food out of your mind. I had difficulty the first two days I went from 3/day to four..so I backed off to 3 again for another week and then did fine when I increased. I do have headaches, but I have never had the nausea ppl talk about except for the day I increased to 4. I have asthma and hypertension. Both are doing well on this drug. I have lost 11.9 lbs in 5 weeks. I do not feel deprived. I still enjoy an occasional sweet treat, and have still lost weight on those days. The main thing that I have eliminated is snacking. I really don't have any desire to do that. I drink a lot more water now too. This drug does seems to give a dry mouth.  Very happy with this drug."


"March 2016 I started to take Saxenda, starting weight was 198 lb. now March 2017 my weight is 110 lb. After realizing the best time to take  Saxenda was at night before going to bed it helped with all side effects. It's all about trial and era. Some foods don't sit to well and weight loss has slowed down but on an overall experience it's been great I would recommend this to anybody needing help to kick start the weight loss. One thing that must be done to help along the progress is working out. In the beginning I walked everywhere. Now I run a few times a week to maintain the weight. It's a never ending cycle but can be managed with time and effort. Good luck to you all."


"I’ve been on this for 4 months. So far; no weight gain, my acne cleared up, no pregnancy issues, my breast size has increased (yay!), periods are really light and consistent. But I’ve been very emotional (which I hate), my libido isn’t as high as it used to be, it’s difficult to orgasm sometimes (which I never had a problem with before this birth control), I also think I’m starting to lose some hair. But overall it’s a great type of birth control to try out."


"I took mirtazapine for 10 months with a slow taper to get off it, this drug caused horrible side effects whilst on it and off it. Increase anxiety, poor sleep pattern, several physical and mental problems and even gained a irregular heart beat, I took my last dose 6 months ago and would warn of its heavy sedation properties masking your current problem.ie count the months not the days, the longer you take it and increase the dose, the bigger your problems maybe in the future ten fold unless it works for you and you signed up for life to it."


"I've been on implanon 2 yrs this month got it 6 weeks after giving birth.only reason I haven't had it taken out is because I don't want to get pregnant and I'm not sure what other birth control would be best for me.Ive tried the pills before and immediately broke out in hives but since being on implanon my periods are way heavier,periods before implanon were 3-4 days now it comes and goes when it feels like.always have random spotting sometimes for a whole months my painful cramps turned into contracions.mood changes everyday for no reason and I have a very very low sex drive .which was never the case before this .no weight gain which i was hoping for .randomly get nauseous. I'm ready to get it taken out..thinking about going on the shot"


"So far so good

I’ve been using this cream for 1 month and currently my skin is the best it’s been for years

It’s gone in waves since I started the cream I didn’t like it to start but now my skin is the most smooth and least red it’s been in a long time. Fingers crossed it stays that way

We get it on prescription in the Uk so approx £9 a month"


"The person from the company Nov nordisk supplied me the damaged pen and when ever I asked them to look into it to get me a replacement they don't respond "


"I started on the weekly injection after oral hypoglycaemic tablets stopped controlling my Blood Sugar Level (BSL). The effect was pretty much instant. Within two weeks my BSL had normalised and I had lost weight. I am still on track and have lost 6 kegs in 3 months.
Some tips from me:
Take the injection out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to mixing and injecting it mixes better and doesn't hurt to inject.
Take an anti-nausea to medication 30 minutes prior to the injection and take the injection at night before you go to bed.
Eat small regular food 6 times a day with high fat (fat has no glycaemic index) moderate protein(90gm /day) and low carb (<100gms day).
All this has helped me feel and look good, lose weight and have normal BSL."


"Did I get a bad batch?!?  Holy moly I'd prefer the general discomfort of a YI to this. I feel like someone sprayed my lady bit with itching powder, doused it with gasoline, and lit it on fire. What is going on?"


"I switched to Sprintec after being on Minastrin for about three months - with Minastrin I was a moody mess and spotted non-stop. Sprintec has been the answer to my birth control prayers! I'm about to start my third month on it and have not had any crazy symptoms. I'd say that my boobs do get sore during the first week of active pills, but it's not unbearable. My cramps on this pill are a dull ache and my periods are very light. I've actually lost weight, but I don't think that's because of the pill (I've been exercising frequently). I took a pill a few years ago that made me gain weight even though I was working out, so this is a major improvement in my eyes!"


"I have bipolar disorder and my doctor prescribed Abilify to stabilize my moods.  It worked okay for a while, but after about three weeks on the drug I developed a Parkinsonian twitch in my right leg. "


"I've had Nexplanon since June of 2013. This is my second time to have this form of birth control. Neither times did I have problems with Nexplanon. The only problem I have is the procedure of taking it out. But hey no pain no gain. Any friend of  mine that ask for birth control advice. I will advise them to get Nexplanon."


"My personal experience with Iressa has been very good. The side effects of the drug were so much less than those of intravenous chemotherapy.

When I finished traditional chemotherapy in December 2002 I participated in the clinical trials.  I started taking Iressa in January 2003.

My last scan after traditional chemotherapy showed that the cancer was still growing.  My next scan, after taking Iressa for 90 days, showed marked improvement in my condition.  Each scan thereafter showed slow but detectable improvement.

It is now late May of 2009 and I'm still taking Iressa and still showing signs of improvement.  The side effects, while ever-present are far more tolerable than those of traditional chemotherapy."


"I was given 15 mg caplets and told to cut them in half.. 7.5 mg the 1st night. Slept well but a little groggy the next day. Didn't get much accomplished. 2nd night same dose and the next day was a total loss. Just sat in my chair all day. No energy or drive. Then I tried to further the dose by cutting 15 mg into 7.5 mg into 3.75 mg. That's next to impossible due to the shape of the half tab. One night you get decent dose and the next you get the smaller quarter and it doesn't work. Too bad hey don't come in 10 mg tabs.  For me, a big guy, with lots of body mass 3.5 mg would be a good dose but it's impossible to get with any accuracy."


"This is the ONLY cough medicine that works.  Nothing else allows me to rest, therefore, allows me to get better."


"I am about to get my first Implanon taken out after almost 3 years of having it.  The first year and a half I had no period - minimal spotting.  For the next six to eight months I had a period every 1.5 - 2 months and for only 3-5 days with minimal cramping.  The last portion of the 3 year cycle though it's become more like 1 full, or almost full period every two to three weeks, cramping elevated but still not what it used to be without any birth control.

I am considering having another put in, if my doctor thinks that a new Implanon would set my body back to the 1.5 years of no periods, that was nice. If she thinks it will continue on where it's at, I will look into another form."


"I was in hospital for extreme pain in my tummy, vomiting and diarrhea at same time which later turned into vomiting and pooping blood. Diagnosed with Colitis. She also said it was a BI. I stayed a day cause the pain was so bad and I couldn't keep anything down so I was giving morphine by IV till I could keep fluids down. Also on Flagyl 500 3x day and Cipro 500 2x day for 14 days. On my 4th day and this medicine has been a life saver!! I've lost 6 pounds in 4 days.  I'm only eating a couple crackers and soup juice.  Nothing taste right. some foods have a metal taste. Also, makes me ache like I have the flu.  But nothing like the pain I was in before! I will take these few side effects before going through the pain I had before."


"I started taking escitalopram at 5mg for two weeks because I was nervous about the side effects, but I didn't get any. Then I went to 10mg and still no side effects. I have been on 10mg for almost three weeks now and do notice a small difference.  I don't get as upset about the little things that would bother me and am able to let things go a little easier. I am still hoping that it kicks in a bit more, so we'll see."


"Thus worked for my constipation. .but made all of my muscles ache."


"I have only been on Provigil for a month, but it has caused extreme nausea and headaches. I have a history of cluster headaches and migraines, which had diminished, but are now back in full force. I've also had stomach cancer twice and Provigil makes me very nauseous and losing weight due to an inability to eat. I'm glad that it is effective for some, I just wish that I was in that group because I am TIRED."


"I been on it for a month and so far I have had no major side affects and I like it haven't have a period yet and like it but haven't had much of a sex drive other than that love it"


"This medicine has been very helpful to me. I started having extreme anxiety when I started taking Latuda. For two years I dealt with depression, severe anxiety and killer side effects from the SSRI (avoid them). In 2014 I finally said "ENOUGH!" I was a little scared to try a different medicine but life was so terrible I was willing to get some relief. I did not have any side effects when started taking the medicine. Pristiq has given some of my life back. I can function at the day program (which was in jeopardy before Pristiq) I highly recommend this medicine for those who suffer from depression and anxiety, at lease give it a try."


"I will never buy this product AGAIN.  I could not figure out how to get the ridiculously-designed pump to WORK.  Most nasal sprays have a simple screw cap.  Not this one.  Thew it in the GARBAGE.  Worst waste of money in a long time."


"NO. no no no. I was on birth control for 6 years with no problem until my gyno switched it on me and the new one gave me cystic acne. I then decided to try the IUD and hated it. Then I decided to give this a go cause I wasn't getting my period. I gained 12 lbs, at lest 5 from bloating, 5 from feeling hungry all the time. I'm so tired, can't get out of bed, feel sad all the time, no motivation, can barely shower without wanting to sit down, can't bare to look in the mirror or do my makeup. I'm 20 years old and was completely happy 2 months ago. if you are sensitive to weight gain or pills don't take this pill.  I stopped it 2 days ago and hope I can lose the weight quickly."


"This medication has helped me greatly in coping with Interstitial Cystitis (IC). There are different types of pain associated with IC, and this medication helps with one of the most debilitating which is a hot poker feeling that starts in the urethra and continues straight up the center. Also, some of the urgency to urinate is relieved.  Even with this medication I am attached to a heating pad, but without it there is nothing left of me other than the pain.
As for side effects, I have to eat first or I become nauseous with occasional vomiting and headaches. Well worth it."


"I have had the Nexplanon for two years and I love it. I started with period only every other month. For some time I did have two months in which I had a period almost two weeks of spotting, it stopped and then i got it again a week later. But that only happened once. I don't feel any mood swings other than what I would have before so Its just my normal me. I did gain weight but it was about a year later and i doubt was due to the birth control because I can lose it when I want. I love this birth control it has worked great for me and I do recommend it. It is safe and easy."


"I am a 34 year old women and I have smoked off and on since I was 14 yrs old. I have tried and used everything under the sun to quit smoking. Chantix, Nicotine replacements, Allan Carr method, cold turkey...ECT. My biggest problem is when I quit smoking I fall into depression and severe anxiety. Tried Bupropian before at 150mg twice a day. My skin felt like it was crawling so this time the doc started me at 35 mg for 1 week than 75 mg for a month. I have had increased energy and I don't have the desire to smoke. I have been taking it for 3 weeks and stopped smoking today! It's worth getting through the side effects for the first 2 weeks!"


"It helped me with all my hallucinations. I stopped hearing things more. I still went through disturbed racing thoughts though. Shakiness still occurs."


"I have had some pretty bad side effects including weakness to the point of falling, extreme fatigue (to the point of not being able to walk at all and eventually falling into a depression). The moment I began to wean myself off the medicine, I immediately regained my strength and everything changed for the better. I did of course inform my doctor and did this gradually over 2 weeks."


"I had Diprivan for a colonoscopy.  I was out instantly and the procedure was completely painless.  I woke up very quickly afterwards and felt great.  I would recommend Diprivan for colonoscopy!"


"I had an emergency C-section, and the morphine they gave me wasn't touching my pain.  I was in agony.  They gave me Toradol through my IV, and I finally felt relief.  I was bummed that they only let me have a few doses, since it helped so much, but I understand it has a lot of possible side effects. I didn't have any while I was on it, though."


"I have suffered with migraine for over 30 years and am now on a prevention medication morning and evening called Topamax. It really seems to help but when a migraine strikes, which they still do, I find Zomig nasal sprays a total fantastic find. Nothing has ever worked so fast or as well."


"I had been smoking for many, MANY years...like 30  when I knew that I had to and wanted to quit. I had tried at least 15 times, but it never stuck for more than 6 months.  I was thrilled yet apprehensive when Chantix was released. I smoked for 3 days during the first week. On day four, I looked at my lit cigarette and just couldn't figure out WHY I had it in my hand, WHY I was smoking. It was as if I had forgotten that I was a smoker! That was May 6th of 2009.

Yes, I had weird and exhausting dreams, but it's like pregnancy labor - it was really bad when I went through it, but I forgot it within a few weeks of my last cigarette. I soon could only remember how wonderful it was to NOT be a smoker."


"My sister-in-law has been on it for 6 months and I cannot believe how much weight she has lost.  However, she has to work really hard at it and exercises like the energizer bunny, and has changed her eating. However, she seems to still have her glasses of wine and still keeps off the weight. Today is my first day using the pill and already I didn't realize it was 1:00pm already, and hadn't wanted lunch. I want to lose about 20 lbs, but at a stand still at the moment.  Diet and exercise was not working. I will report back in a month with hopefully great results."


"So I got the implanon inserted 2 years ago in the last 2 years I have gained about 20 kgs , lost my sex drive , my emotions have been up and down like a yoyo just cry then want to punch something then have no idea what I was even sad/angry about . I would get my period for 2 weeks then another 3 weeks of spotting then it finishes then 1 week later I start pmsing again . But I didn't get pregnant ! I have just had it taken out 1 year early as I can't deal with the side effects anymore . I guess there are different contraceptions that work for different people but I must say this one didn't go well for me ."


"I started Yaz about a year ago. First it wasn't too bad seeing as my previous pills made my legs swell some kind of crazy. But now into a year and 20 pounds heavier I've decided to come off of them. Between the weight gain, now swelling legs, being tired all the time, no sex drive, mood swings like no ones business, and random spotting, the only thing good that has came out of these pills is the fact I haven't gotten pregnant."


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


"I have suffered from sinus, allergies for at least five years. Just recently fluid behind my ear drumt made me dizzy. After five days of taking this no sinus no allergies and no dizziness.  Been to ENT, been to allergist and used their high dollar medicines, none really helped. This on the 5th day is the best day I have had in a long long long time.  Great medicine just hope it keeps on working.  So far no side effects."


"I really like Implanon, the only complaint I have is the area around the Implanon gets itchy. And I have had my period for 38 days straight. Not fun."


"Took the pill about 22 hours after our condom broke. I personally had no bad side effects. Got my period 5 days after I took the pill, much earlier than expected but a huge relief! All the horror stories I heard made me afraid to take the pill, but if it's an emergency Plan B is a very responsible and safe choice."


"My boyfriend has been smoking for about 16 years (2 packs/day). He started taking Chantix 6 days ago and I'm already seeing a difference as is he!
I noticed the "need" for him to get a fix is lessening. Before, if he didn't get a fix no one with him could be happy. All around now, he just seems happier and not so sickly. He actually SMILED in the morning before work in the early morning which never has happened before. His skin is starting to improve, he claims he's getting more sleep and his breathing/coughing fits have lessened slightly. Also, he's eating noticeably more which is great because he's very underweight at this point. I'm truly watching a miracle unfold in front of me. Today he noticed cigarettes are starting to taste bad."


"I was first put on lisinopril but it made me cough.  Switched to Benicar and it has worked good. I take a half of 20mg in the mornings.  No side effects to report.  My blood pressure was just a little high and it lowered into normal range."


"I love the remeron...It gave me back my life."


"I can say that it works far as suppressing your appetite but I only been on it for one day an I am waiting for it to leave my system I don't like the warm sensation over my body and a few chest pains very sleepy and sluggish feeling so for those reasons I will not be taking belviq anymore."


"A first time user, I took two little orange pills and experienced the worst abdominal pain, ever. I once terminated a colonoscopy that was underway on me with no anesthesia (long story), and this pain equaled that. My thanks to you fellow website contributors who gave me confidence to avoid the emergency room after searching on "Dulcolax cramps." The extreme pain lasted at least an hour; it subsided gradually over the next 5 hours. Have someone aware of what you're going through, and be safe about possibly passing out. I did not pass out. (Age 67/male.)"


"I was given this because my period had been extremely irregular for two months prior. I was on it for two months straight. The doctor gave me three packs, she said hopefully I would get lucky and I would start being regular in a month. Well I guess I was extremely Lucky because my period finally stopped after only 2-3 days of taking them. I'm now on my second day of the sugar pills and no sign of a period yet."


"I've tried absolutely everything from nerve pills to antidepressants to help my pain and this is the only thing that works. Of course my doctors. Want to take it away after 11 years because of all of the recent headlines."


"Was on this for so long and once getting off of it, I had a hard time getting pregnant"


"Depakote twice a day worked for the headache, but made me so anxious that I could barely function.  Once a day is not working for headache.  Guess I have to try something else."


"I have been struggling with social anxiety disorder and a low-level functioning depression for most of my life. Four years went by with no medication, and during this time I was very paranoid and lost all of my friends. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend that I saw I couldn't truly function this way. I finally admitted to myself that I might need to be on medication. It's been about two months and I feel awesome. I am taking 50mg everyday, and was able to go on a Christmas vacation where my boyfriend and I met each other's families. This would never have been doable before. I am thoroughly satisfied, and am so happy with my decision. I still have leftover anxiety symptoms but I am working on that in therapy."


"Me and my boyfriend always have safe sex, but this time the condom seemed to come off inside of me and we didn't notice until after he finished. I took Aftera about 1 hour after it happened. IT REALLY WORKS. My ovulation window was around that time and I was freaking out. My period comes every 30 days and I got it on time! (two weeks after taking the pill). I'm on my third day of having my period and it is lighter than usual, but not to a big degree. The only symptoms I got from the pill were dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. This was my first time taking Aftera and it was very effective. The sooner you take it, the better it works."


"I was given the generic after taking Pristiq for 5 years, this does not work for me at all, depression, anxiety and thoughts are all over the place. Bennett taking the generic 2 months. Have to try something else now because this is not good."


"I have a YI and I purchased monostat 1. I inserted the oval and I was fine. I had a little inch so I went ahead and applied the cream 30min later. After applying cream thats when I instantly felt intense burning and BAD ITCHING. AAahhh. Its driving my cray cray. It made it sooo worse. Well the pain at least. Never again will i ever buy this cream. 20 dollars of a box of devil ants. They should call it the devils meds. Reallllly painful. I rinsed as much as I could out and now I'm laying in bed in pain  lol. DONT TRY."


"Took care of the positive effects of schizo and most of the negative ones.  Gave me medicine induced akathisia, which I take propranolol for.  That is the only reason I gave 8/10"


"Macrobid take 1 capsule 2x daily for 7 days.
I am on day 3, my symptoms of urgent urination with little results, are slowly going away. I still feel very uncomfortable especially in my back. I am noticing an increase of discharge and itchiness with my vagina. Yes, my urine is neon colored, too. Overall, I feel better day by day, I wish this drug would work faster!"


"I have been on the patch for two years previously it was prescribed to me to treat Polycystic ovaries. Just recently got back on It and I am extremely shocked to read all those reviews. I have never gained weight on the pill if anything I have lost few pounds. I always had an issue with acne and patch helped to solve that too. First few days on the patch can't be classed as the nicest as I felt dizzy and vomited few times however that stops relatively quickly. I can't relate to the mood swings at all . I can only recommend and say In my experience patches are relatively good compared to other methods of contraception."


"Only take Effexor if you want to be on it for life. The withdrawal lasted 3 months for me. I think my body and mind are permanently damaged from this drug. It helped anxiety by numbing me but at the same time, made me more depressed at times."


"I recently was admitted to a Psych Ward for a suicide ideation/attempt. I've previously been diagnosed with ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder. I was taking 70mg Vyvanse 1x a day, 300mg Wellbutrin XR 1x a day in the morning and 20mg of Paxil 1x before bed . The psychiatrist in the hospital discontinued the Paxil and prescribed 100mg Luvox 2x a day and 50mg Seroquel before bed. I've been taking the medication for 9 days. I wake up tired and feel tired the whole day. I also feel jittery but that could be because I drink caffeinated beverages to help stay awake. My Hope is these effects wear off."


"Decreased my sex drive and physically in a lot more pain in my joints... It's good for women over 25 but under 25 is not the best"


"I came down with flu-like symptoms and was prescribed Tamiflu the next day. I took the first dose right away and started feeling better within 24 hours. However, the next day, I began developing an itchy rash on my hands and toes, so I discontinued the medication, just to be safe."


"I take 160 mg of Geodon, half at dinner and half before bed. I used to take it in the morning but it would knock me out cold. Now I am dead to the world at night but can get through the day. I have been on many medications and Geodon is the only one that didn't make me feel that my life was in danger and claustrophobic. I never did hear voices or delusions, just grandiose thinking. If you have to take medication, Geodon is far superior to the other antipsychotics. I developed partial blindness and tardive dyskinesia on the others. But Geodon does slow you down and cause weight gain."


"I've been battling depression for years now. I am now 42. About 10 years ago, I tried Wellbutrin xl 150mg once a day. It's the only antidepressant I've ever tried and it worked wonders!  I wasn't sad anymore, I lost weight and I was happy. Then a few years later, it was changed to generic and life wasn't the same. I was sad all the time, gained weight, basically depressed. Flash forward to a few months ago. Found the Wellbutrin site that's assists with getting the name brand drug for $50 a month. I have now been on Wellbutrin xl 300mg once a day for three months now. I still don't feel as sad or down. Life is definitely looking up more often than not but I have not lost any weight this time, which in turn makes me depressed. I will continue"


"Tried it for a month. For me it was ineffective."


"I loved this birth control. I've been on 5 or so different pills but this is the best so far. Only complaint is the intense cramps around the time of my period. My period last 6 days with normal bleeding and painful cramps. The cramps are bad but not strong enough to stop taking them especially because they only occur every 3 months. I think the reason for my positive time on the pills was because I've been on steady birth control for 4 years straight.

Sad news I've had to change to non estrogen birth control because of my high blood pressure. I miss this so much lol"


"Feeling alive again but still having panick attacks.

I've been on 10mg for the past month  but I noticed every time I have drinks,  the next  day I have nasty pânic attacks. They are awful.  Its been only a month.  Does it get better after 2 months.  I like this medicine, I feel alive again. I wanna jump out of my bed and go to the gym at 6am like before! I haven't felt like this in a year! Before all I wanted to do was sleep and stay attached to my bed.

I love this med but i think I'll need to upper the dose for my anxiety.  :'("


"I have officially stopped smoking today after 11 days on chantix. The first week I noticed a small reduction in my urge for a smoke and started to smoke less, then when I started taking 1 mg twice a day it started to be more of a reduction. I am very happy to say that chantix has helped me succeed in my wanting to quit smoking, very happy about it. I have had no unpleasant side effects, no vivid dreams. I noticed at the beginning it made cigarettes taste bad which is great with helping to not want anymore of those icky things. If you are on the fence about it I recommend doing it, it works."


"So I'm sitting in my bed with an ice pack between my legs from the awful burning and itching I've been experiencing for the last hour since inserting monostat. I should've looked up these reviews first but my sister told me to try this miracle drug that would cure my yeast infection in 24 hours. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE."


"This is my third month using this birth control. I love it it's amazing no bad side effects at all its serving it purpose 100%."


"I have been on Symbyax for about 8 weeks now. The doctor upped my prescription to 6mg/50mg. It does make me eat all the time. I can't stop munching. This medication makes me feel a little better but it didn't last very long. I'm slowly declining again. Zoloft seemed to work but my doctor didn't think that was going to help me in the long run. I am having short term memory loss due to extreme anxiety. The Symbyax seems to make it worse. I still don't know if I like it or not."


"The WORST birth control ever I've had it for almost a year and is scheduled on Monday 07/17/17 to have it taken out it was okay first, but now I have HORRIBLE headaches and sometimes bad chest pains, bad depression, weight gain, and the WORST anxiety , and terrible acne, I wouldn't recommend this birth control to anybody "


"I started taking Adipex on 2/25/08 at 215 lbs. I last weighed in at 180 lbs (last week). I feel like im stuck at this weight, but this pill is a miracle drug."


"My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD nearly 1 year ago. We tried 4 different medications - 2 gave him side effects of not being able to sleep AND a high anxiety.  2 did nothing for him.  Then we tried Metadate CD. We started with 10 mg, which didn't really do anything. 20mg was better, but still some issues in the attention area.  We are now at 30 mg, and it's great. His teacher has also said that school is much better. He makes sense in his answers, he's not blurting out or disrupting the class.  We give it to him at 6:45 am, and can get through a bit of homework until 5:30pm.  Then it's worn off. I think that's a great amount of time and NO side effects of lack of sleep, lack of appetite, or mood/anxiety issues.  I hope it continues."


"Restless Legs Syndrome in a nut-shell:  Find your trigger.  After a lot of experimentation, I've found that a number of things contribute to my RLS:
-fatigue
-iron-deficiency (possible other deficiencies)
-anxiety
-alcohol
... I'm sure there are more.

In any case, I did try this medication as sometimes I can't determine the cause.  It was awful!  It made me restless throughout the night.  I completely dried up.  Finally, when the medicine started to wear off, I could barely move around from extreme fatigue as though I never slept.  Sure it'll make you drowsy, but don't expect a goods nights rest.  I've since found that fighting restless legs syndrome is best by fighting the above triggers."


"Some background of drugs/supplements I have been on, and what works and doesn't work for me.

Bentyl_ useless

Librax- useless

Lomotil works but does not prevent diaherha.

Zoloft helps anxiety associated with IBS but not diaherha

Kava helps anxiety associated with IBS

Kratom helps IBS tremendously but expensive

I have only been on viberzi for 3 weeks. It has been a lifesaver. Pretty much down to 1 bm a day. Helps with pain which lomotil did not. I still have gas. Do NOT drink with alcohol. I had 1 drink and I felt like I was going to die.  You can't take it while you're pregnant because not enough studies have been done. I had to wait 3 days for insurance to approve it, but I'm glad I have it. No generic available."


"I have a recurrent UTI and was put on 1 x 500mg capsule at night, so I've been taking them for some time and the only complaint I have is the terrible smell off them. I usually have to hold my breath before I open up the package then shove it in my mouth.

I would say it should be good for you unless you have some other illness that would cause you problems as it hasn't made me have any side effects."


"I've been taking this pill for almost a month now and the first time I had my period was when I was taking the active pills it lasted almost 10 days and it was terrible, because my period usually lasted 2-3 days. I have experienced change in my appetite. I eat less then I normally did but oddly enough I did gain some weight (not sure how that happened) but other then that nothing has really changed. "


"I am struggling with menopausal weight gain.  I've been on Contrave for 3 days and I'm starving all day. A little bit of nausea, but not enough to quit the medicine just yet. I'll follow up next month."


"I have 7 bulging disks, DDD and AS, on daily pain meds for 7 years. I requested a long acting pain med and had been on oxycodone IR 10mg. x 3 a day. Dr switched me to OxyContin 10 mg 4 per day. AMAZING RESULTS! I no longer feel drugged, I feel like myself again. The IR made me feel drugged and only lasted 3 hours, was a roller coaster all day long. I take 2 in the morning, 1 at 2 pm and 1 at 6 pm. and do not feel like I am on any medication at all, but the pain has gone from an 8 to a 2 (if I don't move) to maybe a 4 or 5 at worst. Able to clean house, shower, do many activities I was unable to do before. I feel so blessed that I have my life back. It seems to give me energy but no other side effects at all. No dry mouth either."


"I barely had enough time in the day to meet the obligations of my job until I began taking methamphetamine. It really energized me to focus on the task at hand and nothing else. Shortly after I began taking Methamphetamine I received two promotions at work and was given an additional supervisory role.  As an added benefit it curbed my appetite allowing me to work through lunch and in some cases even dinner without taking a break. Also there is almost no physical side effect, unlike Vyvanse and Amphetamine Salts made my body and head ache as well as gave me a craving to chain smoke.

The only downside is the availability at the local chemist, it seems the refills can only be handled through a tribal doctor or local shaman."


"As I started college my skin broke out like no other, cystic type and absolutely embarrassing. I was too embarrassed to go out just because my skin was so bad. I always take care of my skin and have a very clean so I had no idea why this was happening.

I tried retinol and it cleared my skin up some but it wasn't worth the pain and price. My skin felt like it had chemical burns all the time and was red.

After being prescribed Clindamycin, my face cleared up in a day. I have no idea how this is possible but I've only been using it for the days and my skin feels so soft and acne free. Can't rave about this enough!!!!

~I have never written a review for anything before but this product deserved it"


"Last year, I had surgery for benign endometrial hyperplasia and a baseball-sized ovarian cyst.  I was officially diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome when I was 19 and this is a common side effect.  To prevent further problems, my doctor recommended hormone therapy but I haven't done well with any of the pills or the shot - too many bad side effects (sciatica, mood swings, etc).  I was on Ortho-Evra in my early 20s and never noticed any problems so I decided to try it again.  Unfortunately, though, it was discontinued in the USA and Xulane was its generic.  I've been on it for 3 months and I've been miserable the whole time.  I stopped today and now I feel like I have the flu."


"As we all know birth control has different effects on everyone. As for myself and the 2 other people I know who have taken this pill in the past, it has been nothing short of miserable for all 3 of us. I've never related to others when they talk about mood swings during menstruation until I took this pill. Except now my mood swings can happen at any point and I constantly have anxiety. On top of this I am constantly nauseas, have random chest pain and I've developed the worst acne I've had in my entire life. It's a good day if I have one or less breakouts appear on my chin area.

As stated before, this pill has different effects on everyone but as for me I can honestly say it has impacted my life and not in a good way."


"When I first started taking Maxalt MLT several years ago it was a wonder drug; my headaches were gone within minutes with no side effects. Lately I've noticed that I get a little groggy after I've taken it, and it also takes longer for it to work.  Sometimes I have to take a second dose after two hours before it works.  That's still better than having a migraine, though!"


"I'm currently going through nursing school at a university near me and from the start of this past semester I had a real tough time staying focused and doing my homework. Went to see a nurse APR N and she gave me a script for Ritalin, 10mg 2x a day. This medicine has been a God send for me, I always complete my assignments on time and have been getting A's and B's on all my test. It lets me sit down and study for 6 hours at a time but if I hadn't taken the Ritalin I wouldn't have half the work done that needed to be done. Plus I've not had a single issue with it such as withdrawals or anxiety."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Prepopik is by far the easiest prep to actually take. Easy to throw back and then chase with 40oz of whatever clear liquid you can tolerate and enjoy.

If you ate normally up until the day of the prep and/or have slow-ish bowels, I would try to start earlier rather than later. I took the first dose at 5 and it took until about 8:30 to start getting real results. 11pm dose was still working on and off until 2am and I had to get up a couple times after that.

The benefit is that it works slowly and gently. Lots of "tummy talking" and noises happening, but no pain, bloating, or nausea. Took longer to run clear than past preps, but worth the tolerability!"


"Had sex with my boyfriend two times n he came in me fully. After 6 hours of physical contact went to Walgreens to buy the pill. Side effects are kinda irritating makes you a demon for a week. Right on spot after a week my period came. Now it's been a month later my period came again .  Took three pregnancy tests definitely not pregnant. Worries a side, take it as soon as possible n you be alright!!!!"


"Depakote ER is the only medicine I can take for my bi-polar. I have side effects to every medicine I've been on for bi-polar. I can't take the generic. It really bothers my stomach. It doesn't do much for depression. Anything I take for depression makes me manic. I have been on almost medications on the market. I have to learn to live with depression and work my hardest to accept it. I've been living with bi-polar for 38 years. I wish that the brand name wasn't so expensive. It's very hard for me to afford but it must come before food if necessary."


"I have only been on Seroquel 25 mg for just over a week. So I cannot say if I will experience the weight gain or not. But so far this is the best thing that's worked for me. I was horrifically depressed and anxious for over a year, and before that moderately. But after just 1 days on the Seroquel I felt a huge difference. My thoughts had slowed down, my anxiety and depression got cut in half, my appreciation of time and continuity came back a bit, the disassociation was appeased. For the past year I felt like I was on one giant bad paranoia trip, and only after I started taking this medicine did I feeling normal again. There are still major things that are a problem, but the Seroquel makes it way more manageable."


"Very happy with this new medicine. Seems to control my blood sugar better than other medications. I also take 2000mg of Glucophage a day and 100mg of the Invokana. After the first month, the maintenance dosage is 300mg once a day. Been on this medication for 3 weeks now. I have already lost 5 pounds! Urination is more frequent during the day though. Make sure you drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. I did notice some acne to show up on my face. Not sure if this is a side effect or not? Other than that, this is a miracle! Controlled blood sugars and weight loss! The first year is only $5.00 a month with the prescription card the Manufacturer gives you."


"I have taken AMPYRA for 1 month. The second day I thought it was my imagination but I did things I couldn't do before, like stand at the sink without leaning, lifting my legs much higher.  My left arm was weak and almost always had a closed fist, not anymore. I can actually use the key board again with both hands. So much more to say, it is a miracle medicine. To bad, my insurance denied another month.  Just purchased 15 day supply on my own ($592.50) while I fight the denial.  Everyone should give it a try.  "


"I have only been taking Lexapro for about 3-4 weeks but it seems to work for me so far. I started this medicine due to very bad panic attacks and depression. I have only had one very minor panic attack since and it was within the first few days of taking it. I find it a lot easier to calm myself down now and my panic attacks don't spiral. I used to have crying episodes that would last hours and I have not cried once since I started Lexapro. Side effects- I have had some headaches and muscle tension and I can feel quite dizzy and foggy sometimes but as long as it keeps my panic attacks away I really don't mind. I felt nauseous the first few days but it went away quickly."


"I have been on Contrave for eleven months and have lost 40lbs. The weight loss is consistent and although I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, I feel much better and my Doctor is pleased with the results. I could really feel a difference after losing 10% of my body weight (35lbs). The goal I set for myself is 50lbs in a year-still have a month to reach this goal. Happy with Contrave."


"I started using Elidel about a month ago after being diagnosed with Eczema on my face, arms and shoulders, and after topical cortico-steroid creams failed to work.  Elidel cleared up my skin very nicely.  This summer has been very hot and humid where I live, so my skin has had quite a few breakouts.  As long as I used the Elidel at least twice a day, my Eczema remains under control.  The only side effect I have noticed is a warming sensation on my face, but I can live with that.  Elidel, is by far the best product I have used and thankfully I have a drug plan where I work, because it is expensive."


"I bought the Jublia medication and applied exactly as prescribed every day for 10 months with basically zero change to all 10 infected toes after this timeframe. I paid nearly $975 per bottle for this stuff with Blue Cross insurance refusing to cover the prescription; and now I know why- because it just doesn't work!
So $10,000 later, I am back to square one. Valeant, the manufacturer of this worthless stuff, should be sued for false claims."


"I have had the Implanon now for 3 months and can safely say it's great, no periods and no more migraines as the microginon pill was giving me hellish headaches!...

As for putting on weight, people need to realise the small piece of plastic can not and does not produce fat cells. In order to gain weight you need to EAT the food. All that being said it does play havoc with hormones and I completely agree that cravings differ, making you have that same PMS feeling you may get around the time of the month, but as for the people who say there eating habits haven't changed and they have gained weight simply isn't true. Plastic doesn't reproduce fat cells ladies So don't be fooled! That's coming from a dietician!!"


"My boyfriend and I had sex about 2 weeks ago and the condom broke. As teenagers with our whole life ahead of us, we absolutely freaked. We drove to the store and I took the pill within 20-30 minutes after the mishap. After reading these reviews (much like some of you panicking right now) it really helped me to feel better. A week later, on my usual day, I got my period! I experienced some nausea, headaches, tender breasts and weird moods but it didn't help that I was already suffering from a minor cold. I am so happy and thankful for Plan B- it literally saved my life!!! My best advice is to stay as calm as possible- stressing can make the symptoms and waiting worse. Let your guy know you need as much support as possible! Breathe ladies:)"


"We have been in a single clinical trial and it has improved the quality of life by 50 % in the last 6 months , after having systemic mastocytosis (smc) for 20 years."


"Useless."


"I have been on Tenuate for a year and at first I was losing weight fast (30lbs) and looked great but by 6 months I had stopped losing so my dr took me off it for 3 months. I got back on after I gained back 20 of the 30lbs lost. This was during summer and I have two kids I'm constantly chasing. I've been back on Tenuate for 3 months and I have gained another 6lbs WHILE ON TENUATE!!! I have a healthy diet and exercise regularly. So, if you want to lose weight for a specific occasion this med is great for you but if you want something to help you keep it off....this might not be it."


"I have been on zyprexa for 5 days so far. I have been taking 2.5mg and I think I need to up the dose now to 5mg as it feels like it is wearing off. this medication is doing wonders for me, it is great! I can finally have 8 hours of un-disturbed sleep. Prior to commencing this medication, I was suffering from severe symptoms of mania such as insomnia, loss of appetite, high energy levels, psychotic symptoms (hearing voices, derealisation, making weird connections & magical experiences), making new plans, reckless spending & driving, new ideas, taking on too many tasks, agitation. the medication has calmed all of these symptoms. zyprexa is a god send for me. only side effect I have is low blood pressure from it."


"I took this pills coz I'm anemic and my doctor previously put in an IUD to cure my anemia but the IUD came come itself so she told me take birth control pills which is this one. It seems like it helped me to stop bleeding but since 10-15 days I felt like I have shortness of breath and my heartbeat is very fast. I donno why she prescribed me this may be because I have amerigroup insurance or something other reason. I went to my doc to checkup he said I might have blood clot in my lungs. My life is messed up now."


"Didn't find it as bad as people say. Not exactly pleasant but it was fine. Very expensive and took 4.5 hours for it to start to work. Working now though. Prep I used for last colonoscopy was just as effective and much cheaper though. Hope this will have done its job fully in time for my early morning appointment. It's 10pm now."


"I have been taking Contrave for about a year and a half now. Within the first 3-4 months I lost a total of 32lbs. I have never had any side effects while on it. The reason it does not get a perfect rating is because last October a new company purchased and started producing it. Since then they have been price gauging and ripping people off. The previous company charged $60/bottle; the new company charges $90. Good luck finding an insurance company that covers it; 99% don't. My doctor and I are looking for other options now. Not very many people can afford paying over a $1000/yr for medicine. Unless they lower the price I don't foresee them lasting much longer, which is sad because it really is a great medication."


"After about 7 months of weekly Enbel injections I began to experience severe psychological symptoms. I continued taking Enbrel for about five more months as my doctor didn't believe the symptoms were due to Enbrel. At this point we believed I was in remission and I was off treatment for several months. My side effects disappeared. When I had a flare up I was put back on Enbrel. The psychological side effects came back full force and many doctors saw that it was definitely a side effect of the medicine. Enbrel did wonderful things for my arthritis, but I can't take it again. My doctor has noted these symptoms in other patients."


"I have had severe constipation and I was barely using the bathroom within 8 months I would say I was using the bathroom about once or twice a week. Just last night I tried milk of magnesia and it was a life saver!  barely using the bathroom within 8 months is very dangerous so I was so scared! But this helped and I'm so happy! I feel a lot better!"


"I was on Yaz when my phaamacy switched me over to Gianvi about 4 months ago.  I have AWFUL anxiety and depression about almost everything.  I have also had a lot of changes to my appetite but have ended up losing 15 pounds because of my anxiety.  I cannot wait to switch to a different birth control."


"I am 32 yrs old, and have no allergies to anything.  After taking this drug I had depression, hallucinations and very odd thoughts, and felt no consequences to anything I did...so I looked up the side effects, and I had almost everyone.  I went to another doctor and she advised me that this drug has profound mental side effects in adults."


"This drug worked very well after my shoulder surgery. I took it for 6 weeks. My doses started at two every 6 hours for one week and tapered down to 2 at night. I was never told and did not realize that withdrawal would be a problem. I had several of the common withdrawal symptoms and 10 days after stopping the drug completely, I still have insomnia, night sweats and anxiety. No other sleep aids help me sleep yet."


"I get cold sores about 2-3 times per year. Abreva has worked for me, but with caveats. If I can catch the sore at the very first tingle, I can limit its spread and it will heal up and go away in 3-5 days. It still looks bad for a couple of days, but at least it's not two weeks. The second to last time I used Abreva, I was traveling and couldn't get to it until about 12 hours after the first tingle. I applied Abreva, but it didn't have much effect, maybe quickening healing at best (the sore lasted seven days, untreated I'd expect a week and a half). In short, you really have to rush to apply it (and keep applying it every few hours), and it's a race against time with that first tingle, even if you aren't 100% sure it's an oncoming outbreak."


"I have been on Savella for about a month and I must say there is a improvement in my pain level. The only side effect at first was nausea and then that went away after the first couple of weeks because the body needed to get used to it but after you are over that hump the only side effects for me was hot flashes and sweats. However, to be out of pain is all that I care about. I was out of work for a year and a half and now I'm able to function and work again. I thank God for Savella and my Doctor who suggested it. She has never steered me wrong. To anyone who has Fibromyalgia please try this medicine and give it a little while to work. Stick out the side effects the first couple of weeks and the pay off is wonderful."


"I was on 40mg for months and I noticed absolutely nothing."


"My GP saved my life by (a) getting me to admit to alcohol problems ( three bottles of wine daily seven days a week ) (b) sending me for a biopsy for potential cirrhosis ( clear ) but being in the hospital ward for two days showed me the effects of alcohol abuse and realising I wanted my life back. This was the first two days in over twenty years of not drinking alcohol. (c) the real life saver Chlordiazepoxide prescribed to me. Now alcohol free over three years, got my life back, no more dry vomits each day all day, no more obvious signs externally; the sweating or panics. Do not ignore the medical offer of this drug if prescribed to you it could save YOUR life as it has mine. Aged 53 - male."


"I used Epiduo for about 3 weeks, the reason why I started using it is because I had small little dots on the sides of my face. The first couple of days my face felt like it was burning and it went so red. It caused so much acne on my face! Now I have a lot of big pimples on my face which scar.
I have used a few acne creams but this one has been the worst by far."


"Worked okay but caused fainting spells. Coming off of it (tapering, per doctor'said orders) was terrible. I've been told more than once that the way I felt sounded like a heroin addict coming off heroin. I was sick to my stomach,  my entire body was in constant pain, every joint and muscle, headaches, I felt cold one minute and burning up the next, exhausted but couldn't sleep, nightmares when I could catch a few minutes  and periods of wishing someone would just put me out of my misery. This drug  is dangerous! Imagine if someone ran out and couldn't taper off. "


"I've been taking this birth control since March of 2017 and it's worked great for me so far. No pregnancies, no side affects. I absolutely love it. I still get my period during the placebo week but my cramps are way more manageable, and my period is super light and only last 2-3 days, when before it was 4-5 days and horrible horrible cramps. I've always had clear skin but I do notice that the first two weeks of a new pack, my skin is glowing! Towards the last week of the active pills I get my regular period about to start pimples. Sometimes I notice a slight increased irritability but I can't completely attribute that to just this birth control. I've had horrible mood swings on a past medication and haven't gotten even an ounce of that."


"Everyone reacts differently to medication. Dosage: 10mg, Sex: Male, Age: 58, Diagnosis: Chronic Insomnia. I've take Belsomra 3 nights now with 1 to 2 hours of sleep each night. This is strange stuff, be careful. You feel tired but it does not shut your mind off, I laid in bed for 4 hours awake. At that point after 2 nights of not sleeping I think I would have fallen asleep any way from exhaustion. I did not think I was asleep but started to experiencing the strangest nightmares I have ever had. After another hour of this I did fall into a dream state sleep for sure. The dreams were extremely unusual and lucid ( like when taking Restoril) very strange. I fell in and out of sleep for about 2 hours then woke at 4 am and that was   it."


"I just came through another manic episode, but with Geodon I don't think it was a severe as it has been in the past. Bipolar disorder has made me make some very poor and self destructive choice, but Geodon has really helped. I don't know where I would be without it."


"I cannot say enough about how well this drug worked for me. Aside from some vivid but very cool dreams for about a week, the only side effect I experienced was, that this drug HELPED ME STOP SMOKING. "


"I am 33 years old and started taking these pills the first day of my period on September 26, 2015. This was my first time using birth control since 2012. I bleed for 15 days and then very light on the 16th day. On the 17th day, October 12th I saw no bleeding. It is October 19 and I started to bleed again yesterday morning, October 18. I don't understand why I'm having a second bout with a period not more than 1 week later from my first period. All my life my periods lasted no more than 5 days. The only other birth control I used was Ortho tri Cyclen and my periods only lasted 5 days. I'm going to a gynecologist today as I consider to switch birth controls."


"Deeply depressed for 7 months after a manic period of 7 months.  Would come home from work and just go to bed and stay there for 14 hours until it was time to go to work again.  Taking Bupropion in the AM without effect in increasing doses for all 7 months.  After titrating up the Lamictal through the increasing doses as required, the fog lifted 3 days after I started on the 200mg dose.  Thank you modern medicine"


"Have been using this drug for about 16 years now. No other migraine medicine compares to it. Have recommended it to several other migraine sufferers. In turn they have called their doctors and now they are on it. They have had the same luck I have."


"One week. Still top notch shape. Luckily, my peripd ended a day earlier thsn my usual 5 day period.  Of course all medicines require side effects.dont feel extra moody or anything. My only concern is dry eyes so far when wearing my contacts, which will hopefully will subside before next month where i will be taking my yoga teacher intensive training. Definitely dramatically proved to subside much of my hormonal imbalance symptoms. I am 4"11 and 100 lbs.. 28 years old. Healthy, active and finally seeing my acne under control in one week!"


"When I first got on Implanon everything was great. I didn't have a period for about 6 months but did experience weight gain. Now about 9 months later I've gained over 25 pounds, I'm tired and have periods lasting over 2 weeks. Its good to hear other people have this side effect also and I'm thinking about getting it taken out."


"I started using  Byetta 5 months ago and so far it has been the most amazing experience I have ever had before Byetta I was always so tired and not motivated at all to exercise and take care of myself. I was on Actos and I strongly believe that drug was slowly killing me. I have only lost a couple of pounds so far but everything else seems to be in control and I feel like a totally new person. After this pen is finished I move up to 10 and I really hope I don't get any of the side effects because the 5 has been wonderful but if I do get the side effects I will go back to the 5 and enjoy life again. Thanks Byetta"


"Tried Botox yesterday changed my life today, no more frequency or urgency and no more PAIN... i was urinating every 1-2 hours and now I am back to normal ."


"pretty radicle pill - my boobs went from an A to a DD no weight gain and I seem to be a lot happier now I love this pill!!"


"I had high hopes that this would help my anxiety but it seems like it made my anxiety a lot worse. I now experience bad nausea and trembling which didn't happen before. I also had low appetite and more severe anxiety attacks.  I took 15mg twice a day for six weeks. Thankfully it doesn't have withdrawal effects but unfortunately it didn't work for me."


"I have had Nexplanon for 9 months and I have nothing but good things to say about it!! I have personally not had awful side effects at all. My period has virutally disappeared with the exception of occasional spotting (every 3-4 months) for a few days and it is very light spotting. The implant is not noticeable and I cannot feel it. I don't have to remember to pick up pills every month and I do not have to remember to take a pill every night which is the biggest plus. Also, the implant is the most effective form out there because it does not rely on the individual to administer the birth control. I have not gained weight or gotten headaches at all. My one and only complaint is that my sex drive is very low. I would recommend it!"


"I was put on this because I originally had irregular bleeding. Normally, a week before my period I would spot, have my period for about 3 days and be done. Since being put on Orsythia, I've already been fully bleeding for 2 weeks plus 1 week of heavy spotting before hand. Needless to say, I have an emergency OB appointment on Monday to get me on something else that doesn't make this condition worse than it already was. The only two things this helped with was the life altering cramps/body pains during pms and it also did not take away from my sex drive (though I could not even have sex because of the erratic bleeding).... I would NOT recommend this to my worse enemy."


"I have MS and my mood swings were unbearable. I feel like this drug has balanced out my brain. Not only am I no longer sad and suffering, I think more rationally. I am going through a very stressful time in my life. Normally I should just want to lay in bed and cry. This drug has put ME in control of my emotions! I have tried a variety of anti depressants.. They made me feel numb . I hated them. This drug is different!!! I also have a history of self medicating with alcohol to cope with my anxiety when a very stressful situation occurs. Since I have started this med, I have no desire or urge. I'm not one to get online and write a review.. But I feel like this is helping me live again.. And I want to share the word!!"


"I have tried over a dozen different medications to relieve my Restless Leg Syndrome symptoms with no success.  Percocet is the ONLY medication that has worked."


"I knew within 1 hour my breathing felt less constricted. After 2-3 days there was a marked decrease in mucous production and best of all after 1 week I was able to climb an entire flight of stairs without resting. Great results"


"I am coming off of this med and it's freaking horrible. Number one: I said it did not work and was making my anxiety worse. My doc kept me on it 2 mg day plus 20mg lexapro. Never again. I have to say it is rubbish because you can't just stop. Going to a new therapist today. Thank God. Stay away from this pill."


"I am retired, but still read and do many other activities. I was taking MsContin 30mg 3x and Oxycodone IR 10mg 4x per day. I stopped reading and crocheting. I stopped watching my favorite programs. I never knew when I was going to fall asleep. I became hostile, angry, depressed, paranoid and had substantial memory loss. I stopped talking to people and was tired all the time. I didn't connect it to my pain medication because I have numerous chronic illnesses. Last year my doctor suggested a change to Oxycontin, but I was afraid. A month ago I started taking Oxycodone IR 10mg four times a day and Xtampza 18mg three times per day. I wish I had done it sooner. I have eat a good meal with the Xtampza but,I am awake and my real personality is back. My energy is up."


"The Dr. prescribed this med after I developed a tolerance to Prozac after 15 wonderful years.  I started at 25 mg. They always say to give it a few weeks to see if it is working.  After 2 months he increased the dosage to 50 mg. which still did not work.  Then after an increase to 100 mg. for a few months, he finally believed it was not working for me.  He started me on Effexor, which took another 6 months of gradually increasing dosage to actually kick in.  Please do not give up.  After over a year of living a nightmare and feeling suicidal every single day, I'm now back to normal, almost every day."


"My depression/anxiety the past several months has been disabling.  Mornings were filled with crippling anxiety/depression and I'd stay in bed to escape being with the emotional pain.  I felt overwhelmed all the time and just couldn't get motivated to do anything.  Since Cymbalta, I have pep in my step!  I have tons of motivation to spends HOURS cleaning a house with years of accumulated hoarding, and to clean my apartment which I couldn't touch in 6 months.  I can get things done without the overwhelmed feeling -- bills, job, etc.  I'm no longer deeply blue and crying.  This is an answer to my prayers!  My psych said that my desire to get better, counselling, and making changes is what is needed as part of treatment to succeed.  Praise God!"


"I really do like the effects of Adapalene on my skin.  The texture is smoother, smaller pores, and all the other things you'd expect from a retinol gel.  Thanks to those of you who warned against waxing while applying this gel.  I did not read that on the information, and no one told me.  I had pretty intense burning when I had my brows waxed.  The scars are still a little visible."


"I had Implanon inserted in August of 2010. Other than a really nasty (but painless) bruise on my arm for about a week I haven't really had any problems. The only time it hurts is when my daughter pinches my arm right where the device is, but obviously that isn't because of the birth control. Almost every time after intercourse I would have a period, which for me isn't all that big of a deal, I had irregular periods before I was pregnant. BUT, they don't last but a couple of days and they are very light and cramp-free. Please don't let the negative reviews scare you out of this birth control. After being on the Depo shot for almost 5 years, I wouldn't give up my Implanon for anything."


"My husband took this medication for about 60 days. He hurt so bad all over that he was taking Advil every four hours. Waking up out after a few hours of sleep to get into a hot bath. He ended up at a rheumatoid arthritis Dr ( which all tests came back negative) lost a ton of muscle mass. He stopped taking this because I convinced him that he was not going to be used in a "trial". He feels better but not 100%. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone."


"I take this occasionally for a week for a reoccurring yearly cyst in my private area. Works quickly for me! I do not take it all the time, only when the cyst appears from working in a room with no air conditioning. I haven't had any side effects other than I feel the need to drink more water and I'm a tiny framed person."


"I'm new to this medication. I notice my fluttering and pounding heart wakes me up, I'm slightly dizzy even when sitting still or lying down, a few days I've had terrible heartburn, some nausea so strong that I took Nauzene and tums with some relief, icepick stabbing headache, headache around my temples that's not relieved by relaxation or aspirin or drinking a lot of water and is relieved somewhat with Aleve, tinnitis, trouble staying asleep even though I keep my normal schedule and use my normal melatonin. I've been kind of sleepy, maybe due to waking up with the other issues. These symptoms are all uncommon for me and obviously caused by the pills. On the positive side I seem to be less moody and anxious than I was getting before."


"Wow in love so far!! Third day and I have no appetite at all and when I eat it's a couple bits and I'm full! I don't know how it's working so fast but I'm loving it I will say one thing though I could literally sleep forever that's all I found to be negative"


"it made me have violent twitching and uncontrolled facial movements.... it made my mania Worse! Gonna get back on Thorazine. .."


"I take Ambien once a night...so long as I don't eat 2 hours or less before I take it...it seems to work great. I get a good 9 hours sleep. If I eat after I take it then it only makes me sleepy..not enough to fall asleep. So I don't eat before or after and I have great results. When I first started taking Ambien, I had bad dreams and nightmare. I even sleep walk and drive and did not remember a thing...but that stopped about 2 years after taking them..scary! You have to control the medicine..not let it control you. I've been taking since 1997 and still taking them."


"I have had GERD for years now. I started out taking Prilosec, but it started making me burp a lot and it would just absolutely hurt. My doctor switched me to Protonix and that has helped so much. I take 40 mgs twice a day. I don't burp nearly as much and food doesn't creep back up and into my mouth like it did so much either. I also take Zantac at night, but it still had helped a lot even before then. It's been such a relief. I didn't get any side effects from it either. I take it 30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before lunch."


"Procyclidine caused worsening of my akathesia and confusion, worsening of breathing, worsening of very distressing movements of my hands & feet."


"So I was reading all of the comments and felt the need to write my own. Today is only my SECOND DAY on Chantix and do I ever feel a difference. I have no urge to smoke already, but I still do because its so routine. I had 1 cigarette this morning and towards the end of it, did it ever taste so nasty. I can feel already a stronger sense of smell and tastes and I feel like this is really going to work for me so early on. I wasn't ready to quit at all. I had the pills laying around in the house and I had to look for something and came across the Chantix box I got about three months ago and it just hit me then like its time and I am happy this happened."


"I took this from age 16 to 27, when I got married. Now I'm 36, and my husband and I have tried for 10 years and I can't get pregnant. My periods have been torture since I quit taking it. It is nothing unusual for me hurt so bad within the first 48 hours of starting my period, I wind up passing out on my cold tile floor naked in a puddle of sweat. I've spent a fortune trying to get pregnant, or at least find some reason behind the crippling effects of my period, which comes every 18 to 21 days. Maybe ortho isn't to blame, but I can't help but wonder if my inability to have a child is related in some way."


"I use metoclopramide for mild gastroparesis flare ups, as I've had Type 1 Diabetes for 27 years. It works wonders on moving food through my stomach! The only side effect I've had is tiredness after taking it, but it doesn't hit me all the time. When I take it before I eat I don't vomit or experience nausea. This is especially great since I love salad and I can't eat it without metoclopramide. Great drug! :-)"


"No bowel motion in 2 weeks tried EVERYTHING! Nothing. THIS will clean you out like Draino, but abdominal cramps lasted about 1-2hrs before BM. Beats the heck out of the alternative though."


"Made me extremely suicidal, cried uncontrollably, had severe anxiety attacks, after just 2 days of it I could  not take it, and it's ridiculously expensive"


"I never once in forty years even tried to quit smoking. I recently had a c5 c6 c7 neck fusion. The bones have not healed due to my smoking. My dr advised me to try Chantix. So I took my start week pills. On the eighth day threw them out. I'm one month smoke free. Which I think is a miracle. No side effects at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to quit."


"An orthopedic specialist prescribed Gabapentin to relieve the pain associated with a muscluar/spine issue I'm working through. I have had migraines since I was 5-years-old and one dose of this medication brought on one of the worst migraines I've had in years. It also made me wide awake at bedtime, instead of sleepy, as well as dizzy and nauseous."


"great"


"I have taken Adipex for one month and 4 days, 22 pounds down. Starting weight 240, now at 218. I plan to stay on the pill until I reach 180 lbs. I am a very active person and eat great. First couple days I did have headaches, which only lasted 2-3 days now I have had none.  The boost of energy is nice. I do experience some dry mouth, thankfully I LOVE  water! I'll post in another month  hopefully I will be under 200 pounds!"


"This medication is my miracle. The only reason I rated 9 instead of 10 was due to initial 3 day side effects. It was bad but if you can power through its worth it. Side effects were increased restlessness, sweating, mild nausea, feeling faint when standing up, tight headache, and no appetite. After 3 days all of this was gone except sweaty palms and slightly decreased appetite and in only those couple of days I felt like a new person. My obsessive thoughts slowed drastically and became more rational and overall I was so much happier and more positive. It was almost like a light switch because it was so bad I was considering going to the hospital for help and I'm only on 10mg. Also morning is best to take it."


"I am using quetiapine 200 MG every day  for about  two years, and I experienced headaches after one year of consumption once or twice a week I guess it was  migraine.  And an increase in sweating.  Should I keep taking my medicine?"


"I had a small lump removed from below my lip, and was prescribed efudex to be applied twice a day for four weeks. I have just finished that time, so I don't know how effective it has been. I had no reaction for 9 days, then my lip became very swollen and weepy, cracked in the corner. My GP suggested that I put vaseline around the spot before applying the cream, and that helped the lips considerably.  I changed to paw-paw cream, which seemed to help. Now it is six days since I stopped applying the cream and I still have what looks like a large cold sore, as well as the red crustiness under my nose which started only when I stopped the efudex. I am hoping this may go soon. I am not sure whether to put anything on them or not."


"At first I was reluctant to take a pill even though I had been diagnosed with major depression.  My family talked me into taking this medication. I am on my third week of taking Zoloft. The first week my doctor started me on 50mg.  The first few days I felt awful but stuck with the medication. I had not felt much relief in my depression and anxiety on 50mg so my psych doc put me on 100mg after two weeks.  I am on day 4 taking 100mg sertraline and have already started to notice a difference in my mood.  I am less anxious and worry much less at work.  I am also beginning to venture out of the house more than I used to.  The only side effects I've had on sertraline are mild headache, diarrhea, and decrease in sexual performance."


"This medication is very scary to take. I was only on 37.5mg for one day and my pupils dilated and one eye was bigger then the other. It felt like I had taken some illegal drug. I felt dopey and after stopping it from one day I still felt high days later. Told my doctor and was prescribed escitalopram and took only 5mg same thing happened with my pupils again and made my out of reality feelings worse. I honestly think medication is only good if you actually have a full on disorder that is bad.. but taking this to get a relief from anxiety it just masks it. It made me feel numb to my emotions.. I don't want to be masked and not feel happy or sad.."


"My Experience were constant weight gain migraines very bad abdominal pain mood swings and heavy periods and bad cramps. i do not recommended this for anyone and would give 0 stars if i could."


"I have been using Concerta for 15 days now. I started out with 18mg for a week and the second week 36mg. I haven't seen any difference by now, which is very dissappointing for me. In fact I feel slighly extra depressed than I already am, but no big difference. Starting tommorow my doctor told me to take 54mg per day. Any suggestions? Is it too soon to see any difference?"


"Was on Prozac for the last 4 years to treat my depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts until my Prozac pooped out. I upped my Prozac with no relief. I tried other ssris  Zoloft,Celexa Lexapro which only made my condition worse. I even tried an snri Cymbalta with no relief.  7 months later  I finally got to see a psychiatrist. He put me back on Prozac 10 mg and augment with Abilify. It took a month before I decided to try it because of the cost ($110.00 for 30 2mg pills) I felt it working 2 days later. After 1 week my intrusive thoughts went away and my depression lifted with anxiety gone. I had zero side effects. Its been 10 days now and I feel myself again, going out and doing things. For me Abilify is a perfect fit, I hope it lasts."


"In College I had a bad reaction to a medication and spent the entire day in bed and throwing up until my roommate gave me Dramamine and it completely took away the vomiting and helped me go to sleep. "


"Started feeling like I was getting some symptoms of a YI so I went and purchased the 7 day combo pack of Monistat 7. OMG! I'm on the 3rd night and the burning is so bad.  It is way worse than before I started using the medicine. I'm not really sure if I can stand 4 more nights of this. I don't get YI's a lot. I haven't had one in several years, but never used to have this problem with the burning in years past.  I'm just glad to know that there are so many others having the same issue because I was beginning to think something was severely wrong with me. Going to take some Tylenol and try to get some rest. Praying the burning will stop. Definitely calling the doctor tomorrow though."
