"Tonight will mark my first week on Victoza.  I am on this medication primarily to get my blood sugars within normal range, with the added hope of weight loss.  I am amazed that within one week my numbers - fasting and non-fasting - are within normal range.  I hope this will continue to be the case.  I have been plagued by nausea and fatigue this first week.  We'll see what tonight's increase to 1.2 mg brings.  I also began to exercise on a daily basis.  I started out slow, and will continue to increase my activity.  My clothes are fitting me better, but I don't know exactly how much weight I've lost.  I don't really want to know as in the past I have sabotaged myself when I began to loose weight."


"I read a lot of scary reviews about the pain and problems after having Mirena IUD put in so, I thought I'd write my own review. It's not nearly as scary as what I had read.

I got my Mirena 3 days ago. I've had one child via c-section 8 years ago. Overall the experience was better than I anticipated. It only took about five minutes for the entire procedure and maybe only 60-90 seconds of pain, when opening up my cervix and putting the IUD in. It wasn't exactly pleasant but I was able to deal with it. I kept waiting for the real "excruciating pain" to come, but it never happened. It was over before I knew it.

I did take it 800 milligrams of Advil about an hour beforehand, so that may help but I do have a high tolerance for pain."


"By far the best way to have a bowel preparation. Goodbye full gallon!!! Yeak!

We've come a long way but the flavour is still difficult to swallow.  It took me several hours. First bottle at 6pm, second at midnight. Almost done, almost clear. Hope to be sleeping pretty soon.  The insurance didn't cover it but was worth the money."


"In 2007 I started with Loestrin 24, it worked for about almost two years in controlling the endometriosis pain. Then suddenly the pain came back very strong and I ultimately needed surgical Laporoscopy. I spotted the entire time on Loestrin. Currently looking for another drug to prevent the endometriosis from coming back."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Starting second week usage of Erythropoetin for possible kidney failure but definite anemia on a 6-7 year old black Labrador.  Seems to be recovering slowly along with doses of amlodipine/norvasc, enalapril and doxycycline."


"I was in the hospital suffering from post lumbar puncture headache and nausea/severe vomiting. IV Zofran did nothing, IV Reglan did nothing, only the IV Compazine gave me relief. Granted as soon as it ran out I started up again, but at least it allowed me a few hours of peace to sleep."


"Helps me sleep through the night for the first time in my life. The first time I ever took it I made the mistake of not going to bed right away so I did have some hallucinations. They weren't scary, but I make sure to take it only when I go to bed. There are some definite sexual side effects, much to my husband's good fortune. It all seems like a vague dream when I wake up. It's probably a good idea to only take it when you're living with someone you trust!"


"Short lived relief with stomach problems if taken long term"


"Have been taking this drug for over five years.  Had a great drug plan so the $50.00 for a 90 day supply didn't bother me even though I never thought that the drug did anything.  Have had two heart bypass surgeries and four stents placed in my coronary arteries in the past 20 years.  Cardiologist prescribed this drug cause he ran out of options for my angina.  Like I said, never did anything.  Recently I lost my good drug plan and now my new Part 'D' prescription drug plan has me paying $225.00 per month for this drug........ridiculous.  The manufacturer offers discounts on line which is just another 'rip'.  Their own product literature says that 'we don't really understand how it works'.....well guess what; it doesn't.  This drug is a scam"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Taste was terrible.  It took 45 mins to get down the first 16 oz dose (6 oz mixed with 10 oz water).  About 5 mins after finishing, I began vomiting violently and ended up losing all the prep.  Had to go out and get magnesium citrate which was also bad in taste but stayed down.  "


"Lutera has been pretty effective throughout my couple of months using it. I experienced nausea quite often during the first couple of packs. My breasts were tender and swollen in the beginning but that doesn't happen anymore. I gained about 7 pounds. Sex drive is actually up the wall. I'm naturally a moody and emotional/sensitive little flower and I believe since this is a hormonal pill, it adds on to the emotions. I'm frightened by the potential pop up of depression issues or psychological issues I've been reading about birth control pills. I just don't want it to be too late before I possibly go crazy like some people have mentioned happened to them. Overall the pill is cool. I used to have severe cramps and heavy bleeding but Lutera helped."


"I have been on bupropion for 8 days and I have to say this pill is short of a miracle. The first 3 days, instead of smoking, I used the patch. Since that day I have gone nicotine free. A few side affects are I'm a little foggy brained, my hands are shaking and I'm awake between 3-4 every morning however last night I was able to fall back asleep within an hour where usually I couldn't so that may be going away, fingers crossed. Overall highly recommended"


"I have been on tri-spintec for about 1 year now. At first it wasnt really matching when my period should come but every pill does that for the first few months until you body gets use to it. Besides that I think my boobs grew a tiny bit. I've heard some negative but nothing wrong with me. Seems to fit me fine."


"I have been taking 100 mg of Seroquel for about a year now, does worry me some because when I do miss a dose I don't sleep but it does work well. I do have to eat before I go to bed or want to sleep well. "


"I was on Lutera before it was suggested that I switch to the generic form of Yaz in order to help clear up my skin.  so I did.  For the first weeks or so I was very tired and had excruciating headaches, both of which were very out of character for me.  This resolved after about a week.  As for my skin it took probably about 4 months to clear up, but after it cleared up it stayed that way, thanks to Yaz.  On the negative side, this pill brought my libido into the negative.  Also dryness became an issue which of course further effected my libido in a negative way, besides just being embarrassing in general.  Now my insurance has decided to no longer cover it so I am switching, I am worried about my skin, but excited to have my sex life back."


"This is the worst drug I have ever experienced one suppository and around fifty minutes later uncontrolled and painful bowel movements I collapsed and could not get up of the bathroom floor I was so light headed cramps constant need to pee be very wary of this drug it takes hours to recover"


"After being on high doses of Percocet for over two months due to kidney issues, I quit my pain meds cold turkey. My RLS went from irritating restless legs to insanity causing restless body. Opiate detox can apparently cause RLS to greatly intensify if you cold turkey off your pain meds. My requip now does absolutely nothing for me. It was hard enough remembering to take one dose at 5pm and a second dose a hour before bed to begin with, now that it's stopped working I've reverted back to taking pain meds at night just to help the RLS. Unfortunately pain meds don't help me sleep, but at least I can lay still and stare at the ceiling."


"I was given Xanax 0.5mg over 10 years ago for extreme panic attacks, always and still does do the trick.

I started off with 2 a day it became *as needed*.

Luckily I didn't build up a tolerance.

I am having trouble (Since my doctor retired) finding a doctor to prescribe them.

As I type I have been forced to be with out them for going on 5 days and I have had a few really bad panic attacks.

Could be lack of pills, could be physiological, most likely menopause.

I have not found any one to help me with this.

Why? Clearly, I know what works for me."


"It works, very well in fact, but I am getting really annoying side effects. Dry mouth, stomach pains, on the first day I take it, after it completely gets out of my system, I usually get headaches. I also barely eat, instead of eating about 3 steaks, I can only eat half a steak. Most peoples' side effects aren't as bad as mine, though."

"I have been on the pill for 3 months now. It helped my acne fairly good, regulated my period. As far as weight gain, I have been experiencing a lot of "cravings" more than ever before! Loss of energy, tiredness, mood swings are also side effects that I have experienced. I used to enjoy the gym but now I don't feel as motivated. My sex drive is blaaaa.  I do recommend drinking a lot of water when taking the pill."


"I had a series of severe episodes in '14 and that's when I began this drug. Initially it made me really drowsy but it was manageable. Otherwise I've had absolutely no problems! Only downside is that its levels can be easily affected/lowered with other drugs. In order to take birth control pills I had to nearly double my lamictal dosage as the estrogen made my lamictal levels plummet."


"As a life long seasonal allergy sufferer, I search for something that
 won't put me to sleep
 won't cause side effects with other medications
 I can afford

For most of my life I've taken plain old Sudafed with an aspirin from mid February, when the early bulbs start to bloom until after Thanksgiving when pollen finally is gone.

Last year my daughter, who has similar symptoms, tried Flonase with great success.  For me, the "Hottest Year Ever-2015" was also my worse ever year with allergies,  I have all the symptoms from watery eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing etc etc etc.

I've been using it for 4 days, starting with 2 times a day then once a day and my symptoms seem to be going away!"


"The first 12 months were great. No noticeable side effects and I didn't get pregnant. Then I started having side effects. I couldn't wear contacts anymore, they would literally fall out onto my cheeks. I had them refitted and the problem persisted. At the same time I started experiencing what were likely aura migraines. My forehead, upper lip, and hands would go numb. I would experience large blind spots and large dark moving objects in my vision. These problems happened multiple times a week. I was extremely fatigued and depressed. I stopped using the Nuva Ring when I realized I didn't have the symptoms on the off week. None of the doctors I saw thought to recommend going off Nuva Ring. Symptom free for 6 months. Off Nuva Ring 6 months."


"This is working great. I read about it in Oprah Winfrey's O Magizine. Asked my Doctor if it was right for me and he agreed. Losing 5lbs per week (on it for three weeks) I need to get my insurance company to pay and have called them about it asking for it to be considered. Either way I am breaking even as I have no constant hunger pangs. I feel satisfied with small portions, this must be how fit people feel. Good luck with your weight loss journey.  Thanks."


"Worked fine the first five months of taking it. Around month six, I started getting horrible heavy, crampy, clotty breakthrough bleeding with cramps that were up there in terms of the worst I've ever experienced. It started giving me horrible migraines that made me unable to function. However, it did do it's job as a contraceptive. I never got pregnant the six months I was taking it, so three stars for it!"


"this med does nothing but empty my wallet and make me nuts.  You are really crazy if you take------it does nothing except screw with your mind"


"Please if you're reading this DO NOT use this product. I used the ovule right b4 bed a round midnight, and before I could even get into bed, it started burning and itching and stinging and I couldn't stand it. I had to wash it out by 12:30. I gave this a 3 bc honestly IDK if it works yet. But if it does there is no way I would take this again. Take the 3 or 7 day treatment or just go to your Dr or walk in clinic and have then prescribe you an oral medication."


"Wow has this changed my life. I was a long time sufferer of migraines and headaches. Advil and tynelols are like candy to me now and don't do a thing to relief pain. Even heavy prescribed migraine drugs by my doctor did not work as much as Aleve does! It is simply, for my part, miraculous! It works 99.9% of the time. It works to prevent a headache when I feel it coming. It also works to break the headache or migraine when it is already ongoing and painful. And most of the time, a single pill works. I have to say I really hope my body doesn't come used to Aleve and therefore making it less effective. So far, after a little more than a year taking Aleve, it still is perfectly effective in my case. Don't hesitate to try!"


"Was diagnosed about 1 year after an emergency surgery for a mass in my colon due to a build up of scar tissue from inflammation. After a couple months of 500mg 3X a day frequency of flare ups were greatly reduced. Only had 2 noticeable symptoms, one of weight gain and an an elevated liver function test. My dosage was reduced to 2X a day and liver function is normal but weight gain is still issue. Diet and STRESS level seems to be the most important factor in controlling flare ups"


"After 20 years of worsening migraines and fibromyalgia symptoms, pregabalin has been a miracle.
 I have gone from suffering 2-3 debilitating migraines per week to zero migraines. Yes zero! 50mg per day was not enough so my neurologist raised the dose to 100 mg/day and that is just right. It took just over a week for the drug to kick in.  Pregabalin also helps regulate my adrenal glands and calms my Crohn's/IBS symptoms. I feel like a new person after suffering for so many years. Initial side effects were feeling stoned and wonky vision that made it hard to read. My body adjusted after a few days. I sleep deeply all night and no longer snore. Bladder gets real full as kidneys work hard to eliminate the drug. Fibromyalgia pain is 95% gone"


"I'm 20 years old & I've had Nexplanon for 2 years & 7 months. I just had it removed today due to extreme heavy bleeding. I was told it was a sign that it had stopped working. I've lost so much blood in a matter of 9 days that I passed out at work & was in the hospital. I've gained over 50lbs, my sex drive was up & down, I never stopped my period they just became lighter, my mood swings were awful. I took Zoloft to help with that. I had an ovarian cyst the size of a cuties orange! (Which busted, but thankfully I didn't lose an ovary.) I've had so many problems with Nexplanon, but I tried to push through cause it really does prevent pregnancy.... but be prepared. It may work great for you, or it may make you completely miserable!"


"Didn't realize how great it was till it was gone. After 4 years of failed cocktails until I found Depekote with  Zoloft. I was on it for 3-5 months @1250mg and had Excessive Weight gain, insatiable hunger,,,BUT Worth it! I was productive, positive, stabilzed, making plans and following thru. Then Liver enzymes high @ 6 mo. and abruptly taken off ... Horrible move by panicked Doctor.  On my third medicine since and all bad results.  Any opinions on Depokote retry while protecting my liver with Milk Thistle & Turmeric? My last blood work was best its ever been. I have no faith in my Dr and am seeking a new."


"Works great but is highly addictive and I'd need to use it every 8 hours to be able to breathe thru my nose. I'm now suffering with mucosa rebound phenomenae .....it shrinks my nasal membranes but when it wears off my nose blocks severely and I'd have to use it more and more frequently to be  comfortable."


"I drank the first bottle right down, doesn't taste bad at all. It went down smooth.  I immediately drank the two 16 oz cups of water.  Felt bloated and a little nauseous but that went away.  It took awhile for it to start working.  Had lemon water ice and the taste goes away immediately.  I was extremely nervous about this because of the side effects more than anything.  Have some cramping.  Will take the next bottle at 10:00pm.  I hope it works faster and I can get some sleep.  7:45am procedure. I don't even feel hungry after the whole day of just liquids."


"It made my boobs bigger, ZERO negative side effects, and my period is practically non-existent. It's my favorite birth control I've ever been on. Most birth controls make me have crazy mood swings and gain weight. This one didn't. I will be using this for life."


"I've had anxiety for several years now and decided to try medication (although I'm very ANTI medication) to see if it would help at all. Most of my anxiety was stress/relationship related, and I just felt as if it was consuming me and I couldn't handle it anymore. I've been on Citalopram about 3 months now and I noticed a slight change at first, and a little bit still, but now I feel so lifeless. I don't feel myself, my sex drive has diminished to almost nothing, I feel tired ALL THE TIME, I just feel out of it, some issues remembering things, had some other side effects as well that are on and off (dizziness, etc.). I think I want to stop taking it, but I need to consult my physican first to see if I need to wean off of it or not."


"I've had it in for about half a year. I've noticed immense cramping and backache, fatigue and moodiness. I've also had extreme irregular periods, where I wont have my period for a couple of months and when I get it, it's 2 weeks long or sometimes more. Although I've experienced many more side effects then it seems most women have, I don't think they are enough to have it removed and I still recommend it."


"I love my Implanon! I got it put in when I was on my period and as soon as that period was over I have not experienced another one. The only downfall is that I have no sex drive at all. But, overall, this birth control proves very effective."


"I started chanix about 3 months ago.I tried to do it before this time and almost always forgot to take it so when I had my next doctors appointment I asked the nurse to start me back on it she said she'd give me 3 months to quit and here it is almost 3 and I haven't touch a cigarette for a week after smoking 1 to 3 packs a day depending on if a beer or 2 was involved I never thought I could do it now my fiance is just starting it cause he seen that I could do it the real test will be if I go out and drink socially if anyone else has done it please let me know don't want to make the mistake of going back to smoking again"


"Took this for 10 days after a cat bite got infected.  Noticed hyperactivity during the course, but it was two days after I finished the course that the real fun started - fatigue, head fog, inability to do anything, weight loss (three kg in four days!), really bad insomnia (unable to sleep until 5 am), unable to stomach anything except carbs.  After a week of this the nausea started, so that I couldn't eat anything without debilitating nausea.  Headaches too.  Am still in it after two weeks.  Treating myself with ginger tea for nausea, slippery elm, probiotics, dandelion leaf and root for liver, lemon water, vegetable juices.  I  will never take this again."


"I was taken off Soma and put on Baclofen to help with extremely painful muscle spasms that I've been told are related to my fibromyalgia. I was extremely surprised and grateful to find out that this medication while not preventing the spasms, does stop them dead in their tracks when taken as soon as they start. I've had no noticeable side effects. A real God send for me."


"Metformin has been very successful in treating my PCOS.  It's helped me lose weight."


"Hello, I started taking Contrave April 18,2017 The only side effects I experience was a nausea, a headace nothing major.  I am down 4lbs which I am very excited about. For the nausea I take motion sickness. that helps out, I crew gum to offset it. I eat less. I work out three times a day. One thing I  notice this medicine changes the way things taste. as for  drinking  fluids. it makes drinks taste flat. which is fine with me. I start my 2 pills a day tomorrow. I will keep everybody updated on my progress. After reading all the reviews I was very discourage about starting Contrave. I am so glad I am giving it a try. I keep jolly ranchers in my purse. my mouth gets really dry. I pray this Medicine works out for everybody."


"I was taking Yaz, but then for whatever reason the company added something to change it to Beyaz.  Yaz was seriously a saint for me.  Amazing periods, not hormonal at all, great skin, the works!  I've been on Beyaz for over a month now, and I have not cried this much since I broke up with the love of my life over a year ago, and I have zero control of my emotions and how I feel. "


"Abilify is the only antipsychotic that works for me. The extreme hunger, lethargy, restlessness, and memory problems I had on other antipsychotics are nonexistent with abilify. I was in the middle of a severe depressive episode when I took it and it only took several weeks for me to be back to normal functioning. I sleep better, have more energy, and fewer mood swings. This medication is great. I find that it is more "activating" while other drugs in the same class like Zyprexa are more "tranquilizing.""


"I used Topamax for 3 months after working myself up to 150mg/day. It brought my migraines down from 3-4 a week to 2-3 a month, which is great, however after having been in and out of hospitals with horrific abdominal pain my doctor cycled me off of it. I had also lost 20lbs in a 3 week period, but had not noticed a change in my appetite. I am very fit and eat 5-6 times a day to keep up with my metabolism and workouts, so the weight loss was extremely irritating, considering it was nothing but lean tissue. I also could not drink carbonated beverages, and was extremely depressed and emotional (which is very out of character). I did not think the side effects I experienced were worth the benefit."


"Kept getting Cipro for UTI's. Would go away and resurface 6 weeks later . Then began the excruciating pain in legs and ankles, brain fog, a whole list of things going wrong. Do your research and only if you are on deaths door agree to take this poison .  It may work at first but you are likely to pay months and years later. So not worth it!"


"It's a miracle and worth every single penny! 9 days of treating my face only at night and it's at least 75% gone. The dark spots on my face especially under one eye and a huge one covering half my forehead were extremely dark and stubborn. I've tried probably every over-the-counter spot remover possible and I didn't get very good results not to mention the amount of money spent. I didn't have anything to lose and found a miracle!"


"Took Meloxicam for 2 weeks. Helped with the pain, but noticed stomach swelling. Woke up one night with severe stomach cramps. Passed out in bathroom. Had to be taken to Hospital. Had stomach bleeding. Lost 2 pints of blood and had stomach ulcer. This drug is dangerous."


"Never use this shot it makes your discharge thick and white after it wears off. You don't have a period for 2 years and it throws off the pH causing BV and frequent yeast infections also get a lot of head aches and low sex drive"


"I was given this when my esophagus was closing due to reflux. It allowed the tissue to heal and the swelling to go down. I had no side effects and have continued to use this drug to protect against problems in the future because I do still have reflux disease."


"I have just finished a 7 day course of 500mg tablets, twice a day for a chest infection which two other antibiotics failed to clear. This antibiotic worked much faster than others I have tried, with symptoms improving rapidly after just one day.

I had no side effects at all, not even the strange taste. My wife has also had a course of the same drug in the past, again with no side effects.

Reading through these comments you would think that practically everyone has adverse side effects from this drug, but in actual fact it is a low percentage (under 10% according to the packet). I think more people tend to report bad side effects, than none hence the large number here. Don't be put off by this."


"I gave this a high score because I got lucky. I went for years struggling with depression, weary of Big Pharma, self-medicating. Finally a friend took me to a doctor. The first drug she prescribed was Effexxor. I was prescribed the 75mg capsules. I found it to be too much for me, so I take one every other day. The only side effects I feel are from withdrawals if I skip a few days, and 'ditziness' if you will. Other than that, managing my depression has changed my life. My weight has even dropped because I used to self medicate with food. I do recommend taking only the lowest dose possible for your symptoms. I am not a big fan of prescription drugs, but this was a lifesaver for me."


"I am 63 years old and have been taking 100mg Losartan for about 14 years and it has worked great for me.  I chew tobacco and that keeps my blood pressure a bit high but when I do not chew....my blood pressure is around 118/76.  When I went on Losartan my blood pressure was hitting around 175/92 all the time.  So sorry for those who have not had a good experience with Losartan."


"I just started Enbrel 2 weeks ago and it seems to be working. I just wanted to let people know that there is a payment assistance program offered by the Enbrel manufacture. I couldn't afford the medicine but I contacted the manufacture and they gave me a card that helps pay for it. Look into that before giving up on the option of having this medicine."


"You won't be sorry."


"I started Gianvi after switching from Yaz to another pill that did nothing for me. I used to have an intense 7 day period, extreme cramps, migraines, large pimples, and crazy mood swings for no apparent reason. Gianvi has changed all that. I do still get cramps and mood swings, but both are very muted. I have much smaller breakouts and the migraines are gone. I get a very light bleeding during my period, which only lasts 2-3 days. HOWEVER, I miss my period (the bleeding part) often. I still get the other symptoms at that time. Personally, I love Gianvi. I feel much freer to do things like drive because I know I won't be suddenly doubled over in pain behind the wheel."


"This by far was the worst experience on a pill. I rated it a 2 because I didn't get pregnant. I was not only bloated ALL of the time, but literally craved food ALL of the time. I gained 20 pounds in 8 months (went from my normal weight- 115 to 135 in the blink of an eye). I was out-eating my boyfriend who is twice my size. I won't even get into the moodiness. I was depressed for months. I would never recommend this pill to anyone, I don't see how it is still on the market. I switched back to my old pill from my teen years (I'm 32 now) which never gave me problems (Levora) and 2 weeks in, I've already lost all of the water retention and 7 pounds. The food cravings are gone also, finding that I'm having to "remember" to eat."


"Enbrel worked for me like a miracle for about 8 years, possibly a little longer. Unfortunately, it seems to no longer be effective. I am about to switch to something else, not sure what. And so my rating of 5 indicates that it worked well, but lost effectiveness. I truly thought I was finished with psoriasis, but it was back."


"300 mgs.   total lack of desire so I guess I'm going to be depressed.   I'm on testosterone therapy which sky-rocked my libido....now welbutrin helped my depression.....but screwed my sex life"


"I take this medication for obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. This medication has been the saving grace of my life!  The only side effects I have experienced are insomnia when I first started it or up a dose, but it goes away within a few days. And dry mouth. But I feel so much better freed of my obsessional thoughts I don't care!  I take 150 mg a day and have been on it 5 years. No other medicine has ever been so effective for this long, and believe me I have taken everything you can name!"


"I have been on Belviq for 1 month and love it..The first week was hard, because I was put of it, had muscle aches, and just didn't feel right..After week 2 I felt great and now I have lost 20 lbs, which probably isn't healthy, but I had to force myself to eat..I noticed when I am hungry I am going to healthy foods rather than junk."


"I have had fibromyalgia since I was 10 years old have been on every medication doctors can think of. Iam now in my 40s and my fibromyalgia has got worse of time, I was on Cymbalta for years but it stopped working so yesterday my doctor prescribed Effexor XR I took it and this mornings I was not stiff, not moody and slept good last night , I am hoping this will help me in long term."


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


"I've been on the NuvaRing for almost two years now and I LOVE it. It's great...no side effects. Lower dosage of hormones, so I don't need to feel weird about putting lots of hormones into my body. AND not pregnant yet! I would recommend this form of birth control to anyone!"


"Been taking benzodiazepines for near 10 years now. Started with 1mg of Lorazepam once daily, but it stopped working after about 2 years. I got prescribed Clonazepam 1mg twice daily.Worked like a charm for 5 years, then stopped having any effect. Still, Clonazepam is amazing compared to Lorazepam. This is an amazing medication. I was prescribed an up-dose (2mg three times daily, but I usually only took one pill a day or two, because 2mg is very strong). I was also prescribed Xanax to take along with Clonazepam due to having a panic disorder as well as generalized anxiety, but after about a year I decided that the Xanax was pretty useless (and tasted like wet chalk) so asked my psychiatrist to stop prescribing it. Just clonazepam. It's great."


"I've been taking this BC for 6 years. There is still spotting, very randomly and cramping. I get constant mood swings. I take it at night and feel super hungry in the morning, but just eat breakfest and I'm fine. My weight is normal. I would say it works great as its suppose to, just a few side effects."


"I had hives for 3 weeks and I was completely miserable! I was put on steroids for 3 days and they came back as soon as I quit them.  I was taking Benadryl everyday and was still so itchy. About ready to go nuts I researched and researched things to try.  Into week 3 with the hives I started taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 and drinking green tea everyday.  Took a Zyrtec one morning and my hives were cleared by evening. I have been taking 1 a day for 3 days now and I'm hive free..feeling great."


"My Doctor put me one 100 mgs once in the morning and I could tell a huge difference in the way I felt, for the first time I felt like I could breathe, I could see colors again, the tree's, the flower's everything changed from grey to vivid brightness, however this effect was not immediate. I was taking 120 mg's of Cymbalta, 2 60 mg caps. a day, when this was the medicine I was one for years, I fought a good fight with doctor's over years and years. They were telling me I was Bi-Polor and I believed them. It took one great doctor 15 minutes to change my life. I have been on Pristiq 100 mg's for going on 3 years know and I love life again, I can't wait to wake up early in the morning and watch the sunrise and I found out that I wasn't bipolor"


"My first month was fine! I am a very emotional person and prone to anxiety attacks, and it never made it worse! Almost felt like it made it better... HOWEVER, after the first month, I started having itchy skin, vaginal discharge, vaginal burning and irritation, hives all over my body, eczema on MY FINGERS! Really weird stuff... went to the doctor and got tested for EVERYTHING! including STDS. All negative. The only thing we could think of was this birth control. Kept taking it for a third month, symptoms got worse, even started gaining weight and acne! Stopped taking it on a Saturday, it is now Thursday: Most all symptoms are gone. It had to be the BC..."


"I have had this in for about 2.5 years. It works in that I have not gotten pregnant.  I have a very light period for 1-2 weeks every month or so.  Sometimes 6 weeks in between 'periods,'  sometimes only 2 weeks. It's very unpredictable, can ruin a lot of 'underclothes'. Also, I cannot get back to my pre-birth control weight. I used to weigh an athletic 145 with a diet of whatever I felt like eating and exercise 4 days a week.  Maybe its age, but now 2.5 years later, I can exercise 6 days a week for  twice as long, and watch what I eat and am stuck at 154."


"Ursodiol has been keeping my Gall Bladder in check (excepton 01/01/2008). My prescription had run out 4 days prior but I still indulged in greasy pork chops. 3 hours later I was in the ER and nearly died. I had no pulse or blood pressure. Was touch-and-go for awhile. Worst New Years Day ever. Never to forget refills again."


"I have been on Orsythia for a year now and I have to say that I have never been happier with another birth control and I've one other before starting Orsythia. I did NOT gain any weight, lose my sex drive, get acne, have mood swings, PMS symptoms or most importantly get pregnant on this birth control. I am so happy with my rx and I would highly recommend. I understand that everyone is different and experience drugs differently but you need to wait the 3-4 months before getting used to a daily drug in your body that changes your natural hormones. I love it and I see that it is very effective for me."


"Stage 4 breast cancer met to left lung and bones, I have been on Ibrance and Fasodex for three months and was recently told that my cancer has worsened.  When would these jokers ever come up with a real cure for cancer and stop experimenting on cancer patients with their worthless expensive drugs.  Good luck to everyone, wish you the best of success with your treatments."


"I am the mother of a 13 yr old boy.  His  face was bad. I would say he didn't have a clear spot on his face or back. And he was prescribed the tretinoin cream 0.025. And also an antibiotic called doxycycline mono 100mg.  Doctor said give it a month and we would see a change. That was October 2015. It's now January and month 3/4 and his scars from picking his pimples are so faded you can barely see them. And his back is clear. We use both everyday.  He will still get a pimple here and there but it has given him back his Confidence. The doctor said the longer you are on it the better."


"I am reading about all of these side effects. I just finished my five years and it's not necessary for me to continue on with it. I suppose some of my achy feelings and stuff came from this drug, but I take a few others so I'm not sure. I haven't had any side effects no hair loss or thinning like many others that I've read about. One woman I met shortly after I got breast cancer said she did not take the drug as was recommended and not long after her breast cancer turned into lung cancer now it's inoperable so she urged people to take the drug. Thank you I hope your drug makes me live longer to be with my granddaughters."


"I'm 18 years old and this is my first birth control pill. I'm taking it for a number of reasons, mainly that my period has been irregular for years, my acne is terrible and I'm just trying to be safe and smart. I really like this pill! It's been extremely unobtrusive to my life. Originally I had trouble remembering to take the pill on time but now I have an alarm on my phone and it's helping. As far as side effects, I've only had a little tenderness in my breasts and a slight increase in my appetite, but this may just be from stress. I've just now finished my first pack and I'm extremely happy with it. I haven't noticed any change in my acne, but I hope it will help soon. Overall, highly recommended!"


"Every woman's experience with insertion is different. I was not expecting much pain (since I am used to severe cramping) and I read others' reviews, but getting it inserted was the worst pain of my life-- I screamed in the dr's office--and it felt unbearable. Like fire + shards of glass twisted inside. I was shaken up for days after. Cramps and low energy for 1.5 weeks after insertion. 2 week long periods (3 days pre-liletta). Cramps on and off for 2 months after insertion. Despite these side effects, glad I got the liletta. Morning after pills were hard on my system when I forgot my birth control pills, and getting my pills became difficult and expensive because of my insurance. Liletta + insertion was free for me which makes this a win"


"I have had this implant for about 5 months based on the recommendation from my Doctor. Worst mistake ever. I always had irregular periods, but never bleeding for months on end with large clots. I'm talking props from a horror movie looking blood & gore. I informed her of my issues when I bled for 2 weeks straight. She said my body was just getting used to the hormones & such. That is totally understandable. But I don't believe for a second any medication should caused bleeding for a month and a half, stop for a month & start again. Heavily. I'm talking about a woosh & puddle heavy. I'm so glad I was @ home because I would have been mortified had I been in public. I've been on several types of birth control but I do NOT suggest this."


"I started Saxenda on 1-12-17 and as of 2-27-17, I have lost 16 pounds.  My insurance will not cover this medication so I am not able to afford it at the full dose.  I have been taking 1.2 mg daily due to cost.   Seems to be working ok for me at this dose and I have had no bad side effects.  I have lots of trouble losing weight and seem to have finally found something that works and my insurance will not cover it.  :("


"I have used Enbrel since it was approved. I like the results much better than using Methotrexate alone. The psoriasis has been reduced from moderately severe to mild."


"Truly works great but cannot afford the brand name only generic and yes I'm a bit shy/embarrassed about it so far so good."


"NuvaRing is great for me! I had no side effects, my partner doesn't feel it during sex, it never fell out and I feel much safer with it. You put it in and forget about it for 3 weeks!

I was on oral pills before and they were very strong on me. I had less sex drive, but absolutely no acne. Now, with a lower hormone dose from NuvaRing, I have more acne, but also more sex drive and I will more comfortable."


"So I am a 18 year old girl who honestly frequently is not on time with each and every pill. I stared taking seasonique on November 1st, 2015 because I have heavy bleeding when my periods occur. Since that day I have bled (a little lighter than normally but nothing too significant) until this day (December 7th, 2015) which is a MONTH AND A WEEK OF BLEEDING. I now have anemia from bleeding for so long. I do not recommend  this birth control pill due to my horrible experience with it."


"Found out I have chlamydia through doing a blood test. I wasn't sure what to think although I was having a lot discharge and a bit of cramps.   Anyways the doc gave me 1 single pill. I had taken it on a empty stomach then I got something to eat after. I started feeling a bit sick and wanting to throw up, I though it was because I hadn't eaten when I took it so figured it was the azi pill.  When I got home few mins later my belly started hurting so I was off to the toilet. I really hope it works and clears this up."


"The pain patch works well for me as I am disabled and don't work. I do have a problem with excessive sweating and keeping the patch on for 48 hours. The best thing I have used for keeping the patches on is BENZOIN TINCTURE. This works great for me when nothing else worked. My doctor recommended I try it and boy, I'm glad I did! Can be found in any pharmacy for around $5.00."


"This pill was terrible. Had bad migraines the first 5-6 months of taking it. Plus I would get angry over nothing and have crying spells. After about 8 months of being on this pill, my period would come a week early and last for 2 1/2 weeks. It was light bleeding, but still the point of my period going on that long was not normal. My period normally lasts 5-7 days. I stuck the pills out for another month and when I got that 2 1/2 week period again, I called my obgyn. I explained to her what was going on and she had a nurse pull my chart to change my bc. The only good thing about these pills were that I had no weight gain."


"I got on Minastrin, because I used to take Loestrin 24 Fe and my doctor told me it was the same thing, but just a different name. Loestrin was perfect - I didn't even feel the effects of the pill (never gained weight, suffered from mood swings, etc.). Minastrin was the complete opposite experience. I'm constantly crying, I'm in constant PMDD mode, and my sex drive is literally non-existent. I tore apart my relationship with my boyfriend, and I completely regret ever going on it. "


"The best stuff I've ever used! I've struggled with acne for a while now and ever since I started using the cream it has helped so much I do my usual face wash in the evening then put the cream on about 10 minutes after. I had such a bad spot in the day of my prom that I put a bit of cream on in the morning and by 5pm when getting my make up done it had gone"


"Dear Chartix, I have smoked for 27 years, I was so ready for that to change, I asked my doctor to give me a chance with trying it, she agreed! For me to tell you how now I have been free of smoking for 16 months now!! Thank you Chantix for helping me!!!    Sincerely, Joanne"


"I had the Kyleena for two months before I had it removed. Every body reacts differently to different forms of birth control, and this one is not for me. My body is very sensitive to hormones, including to those in IUD's which are less systemic than in oral contraceptives. What I liked about the Kyleena: insertion only felt like a bad cramp, my periods were lighter & cramp-free, no weight gain (actually experienced weight loss from my own effort to prep for spring break), my well-endowed partner did not feel the strings, and I did not get pregnant. Why I had it removed: depression, anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, heart palpitations, and lack of motivation. A week post-removal, I finally feel like my normal self again. No more hormones for me"


"I've had the Paragard 3 separate times. The first time was after the birth of my two oldest. Had it for about 4 years before removing it to to try to conceive. Miscarried in 06' but don't blame the Paragard. Cancer in 07' then had 3 more healthy children. After my 5th I had my second one put in. Had it for over a year but then had weight loss surgery and lost about 80 pounds and removed the IUD myself to try to conceive. Pregnant within 2 months of removing it! Had 2 more babies (7 total) and just today had my 3rd Paragard inserted until at least 2 years from now. Minimal cramping with insertion, took less than a minute, very effective and allows pregnancy immediately after removal. I need a non hormonal birth control due to the cancer so this is perfect for me!"


"I just had Skyla inserted this morning and it was not that bad. The procedure was about 2-3mins tops. It felt like a pap with a really bad cramp and then it was over. I took a 600ml iburprofen beforehand. Now I just feel mild cramping. Honestly, I siked myself out so bad thinking it would nearly kill me to be inserted, that I laughed when it was finished. Of course, everyone is different and I have had a child. But all things considered it was it was a simple procedure. Don't read into the horror stories. Being tense during insertion will only make it worse. Everyone is different."


"I rated this Trinessa Low with five stars because this is my first month on the medication.  When taking the pill I did not experience any mood swings, dizziness, or sickness. I felt great...the ok only problem was that my face broke out like a pizza! I was on the shot 6 months prior to the pill and had very minimal acne. I'm hoping that if I stick with it, the acne will subside and I will be happy with the overall results!"


"I started taking Topamax 12 years ago after one of my migraines sent me out of my classroom & into the ER. After the initial few weeks of disorientation, halo vision, & tingling/numbness, my body adjusted to the meds & I had almost 10 years of maybe two headaches per year. A miracle! When menopause hit, my migraines came roaring back with a vengeance. But I stayed on Topamax & my neurologist added other meds to supplement. Things are better now; Topamax has been a lifesaver for me. But it takes some time to let the side effects settle out & for your doctor to tweak the dosages."


"This was the first mood stabilizer I was put on when I was diagnosed BP2 and I've been on it ever since, which was about 9 years ago. I love this med- I've had NO side effects. I'm on 500mg which is a very high dose but I'm also very treatment resistant. The only negative thing about this med is that I can't go on birth control. I have horrible mood swings and pain around 'that time' and birth control would help, but besides it lessening the effect of the birth control it also lessens the effectiveness of lamictal. There may be some birth control pill out there I can take, but my pdoc, and gyno haven't found it. :( Besides that this med is amazing & I'll never go off of it"


"My Hba1c was 11, two months ago and  now I have 6.1 and I lost 10 kilograms (20 pounds)."


"I've been on Nexplanon for almost three months now (it was inserted Valentines Day Weekend) and I love it.

I have experienced some side effects, however. I have noticed an increase in acne, but thankfully I found a new face wash that seems to keep it at bay. My hair gets slightly oilier (but I only wash it every 2-3 days anyways). I have also had some spotting. Nothing too extreme, I can get away with a single pantiliner for the day. The spotting has been on and off for the past months. It will come for a few weeks, and then leave for a few weeks. No weight gain, no funny cravings, no mood swings.

FYI I'm 23 years old, 120 lbs, and I exercise 5-6 days a week. Best of luck!"


"I just started this medication a few days ago and I am on 10 mg twice per day..I would have to say it works very well on my neck and back pain and my nauseating migraines which all result from a car accident and I'm only 23 years old. I luckily have a very nice understanding doctor and know what I'm going through and he has never turned me down when I've needed an increase or change in meds."


"Broke my arm and was given the drug. Caused respiratory distress. Was told to never take it again. I woke up and the medical staff was slapping me on the chest and screaming for me to breathe!"


"I have been on anti-depressants for 6 years now after a car accident.  This is the third time my medication has been changed because they stopped working.  I take wellbutrin in the morning and cymbalta at night.  The only side effects I have had is increased sweating.  I sleep much better at night, used to just about fall asleep on my way to work - now I am much more awake, much calmer and loving it.  Hopefully this will keep working because I get to the point where I can't stand myself."


"So far I have lost a pound a day using this. I do crossfit in the mornings and I eat under 1800 calories a day. I also drink a gallon of water and get 8 hours of sleep everyday."


"I had my copper iud for a year before getting it removed due to constant bacterial vaginosis. I was going to the doctor every few months for an odor that never seemed to go away. I took metrodinazole that only helped me temporarily and then the BV would come back. I hated smelling myself because it was embarrassing and I got tired of going to the doctor. i never got pregnant and I thank the iud for that. but the odor and the pelvic pain that came with it made me take it out. my cramps were so bad with the iud, i would almost start crying. I also got eczema after getting the iud, which i never had prior to that. now I've had the iud out for two months and my BV has completely gone away, i still have eczema, and i get NO cramps with my period"


"I have been on Prozac for about 2 months. It started feeling positive effects after about 3 days, I became more social and outgoing, had less crying spells after a month and I feel less physically dependent upon others and more stable with the ability to handle my own problems. Overall I think Prozac is a great medicine and it has definitely helped me so much! It has made me feel more caring, generous and sympathetic towards others. It has also made me more motivated to focus in college and gave me the ability to enjoy the activities that I take part in. So far the negative side effects I had were headaches on and off, feeling jittery almost as though I couldn't keep still (although this wore off after about a week), yawning, weight loss etc."


"So far it is much better and with less side effects than Celexa, Pristiq, Wellbutrin, Remeron or Viibryd.  Main issue is anxiety and this medicine stops it like nothing else.  It is in a whole different class.  Still finding out how it is going to work on my "zest for life" and other symptoms of depression.  Still a long way to go."


"I take this for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Was taking 850 Mg of Seroquel 1 in the morning 1 in the afternoon and 2 at night before bed time. I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. This is something like having both schizophrenia and bipolar at the same time. I did not like taking Seroquel because it made me gain weight and I felt like I always had to keep moving. I was put on Latuda 40 MG and it seems to work. I have been taking it for a week now. Almost no side effects. I am still here and see things that are not there but the Latuda helps me know what is real and not and it helps me better handle them. It works as good as any other one I have tried but side effect free. I highly recommend trying this out."


"Well I got skyla put in about 3 or 4 weeks ago. i have 3 kids already so the insertion was nothing lol compared to what I have read! It barely hurt just mild cramping and a tiny bit of pressure. But so far I've had nausea with this and alot of spotting :/ the spotting started abt 4 or 5 days after I got it out in and it has not stopped !! Well I went in for the follow up to check the placement of it and I asked my Dr when the spotting would most likely stop and she said a couple weeks on and off so I'm still waiting for it to stop this is the only thing I don't like abt it."


"I've been taking phentermine since January. I wanted my health back on track so my doctor recommended this drug. I have been working out 4 times a week for an hour. I was 260lbs and am now 212lbs. Doctor still wants me to get down to at least 170lbs so he can take my off some of my medicines and keep me in maintenance program for about 9 months. I drink lots of water, count my calories and exercise. No complaints, just happy my health is much better."


"I have been on Saphris for 6 month. I have had great results from it. I take Lamotrigine with it. The only down fall is bad taste and I have gained 40 pounds on it! I'm trying to weigh my pros and con's. Other than weight gain great medication."


"I am 25 years old. Not on birth control 2 years prior to taking this med. I just finished my 3rd month and everyday I have migraine, headaches and become dizzy for most of the day. I am switching.
On the other hand I used to feel nauseous around my ovulation, this med fixed that. No weight gain. Acne diminished.
But the migraines get in the way of school and work."


"Pros: Lighter periods, some cramping but much less, no pregnancy scares. Little to no nausea after the first week. No migraines.

Cons: Horrible moodiness, depression, anxiety, feeling insecure. Weight gain (though less than other users). Painful intercourse.

After a year of being on this pill, I went off for 3 months due to insurance coverage issues. While I was off, I noticed an immediate improvement in mood and energy. After going back on, the depression/mood swings started back up again, and I noticed an extreme drop in libido. Though my experience was not as horribly negative as some others, I will be looking for another birth control."


"Amazing! I have been sick with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Diarrhea for 5 years. Because of this I have been a stay at home mom those 5 years because I couldn't hold a job with my stomach issues. I have tried 4 different probiotics, Activia yogurt, pepper net extract pills, ginger pills, aloe juice and aloe pills. None have worked as effectively as this miracle pill after 2 days. I feel like a person again and not a toilet seat cover. I can now go to work because my kids are in school part time and I am not running to the bathroom. I have not experienced these side effects, only a little bloating. But I was always bloated anyway. I only hope this medicine has staying power and my body doesn't become used to it."


"Our son has gone through 3 other medicines, and this is the only one that has worked with no side effects.   We have noticed that it wears off at the end of the school day, so after school activities are a little more challenging.   He struggles a little in the evening, since it's definitely worn off by then, but what it does for him in school is great.  We're looking into options to help him in the evening without messing up his sleep."


"I had my daughter in March 2015 and I've had the nexplanon for about a month now and so far I love it. The first few days were rough, my arm would feel like the muscle strength would randomly disappear sometimes and there was a day where I had a few hours of morning sickness like nausea. Neither of those side effects have lasted, and I am back to feeling like myself and have actually lost weight! I've gone from 149 to 129 in a month! I haven't had any signs of a period yet which is great for me because my periods are terrible. The only other strange symptom has been two cystic acne like pimples at my hair line that wouldn't go away but I just checked and those have disappeared so I am VERY HAPPY with my decision to get the nexplanon!"


"I had one injection then three days later I thought - something is different. I can breathe! Checked my peak flow meter and it is up 45 points. Hurray. Can't wait for my next injection."


"Just had 1st 20mg...it's working!"


"Immediately made me feel like a new person! Helped me walk "normal" again, and go down stairs without horrible pain. Made my hands and feet swelling improve greatly. My hands were squishy, my feet were so swollen I couldn't fit in my shoes, and my toes looked like little sausages. Like any other medication there was side effects, of course moon face, weight gain, hair loss and horrible taste but I would do it all over again because it helped me so much with pain, swelling and is continuing to help me live normal. Yay for prednisone."


"I have been to scared to use the bathroom all day. After one dose of Macrobid (3ish hours after) I already have relief! I seriously can't believe it's working this fast."


"I'm a 15 year old girl and I've been using this product for about 2 years now. I used to sweat in my underarms so badly that I'd have huge pit stains no matter if it was hot outside or not. I started wearing only baggy t-shirts to school because I was so uncomfortable. Then my doctor prescribed Hypercare and it truly works wonders. I put it on at night before I go to bed, and it burns, tingles, and itches a little, but it's definitely worth it. The next day I don't sweat AT ALL. Now I can wear cute clothes and I don't feel gross or uncomfortable! I love this product!"


"I am a 46 year old male. In 1988 I was going through a very serious bout with anxiety and depression. Luckily - there was a place called Freedom From Fear on Staten Island that was able to counsel me (free of charge, as was affiliated with Columbia University), and a doctor there prescribed for me a new drug that was just approved and available...Prozac. I took it for eight months or so and recovered - so much so that it helped me deal with the tragedy of my mother dying only a year later. Yes, this medicine saved my life. This is are the reason I am here right now. I only took the medicine for that eight months, and slowly got off it. Here I am 20 years later, totally fine!"


"I read these reviews daily when I was stressed, so I thought I'd leave one.I had to take Plan B after a condom broke on Day 12 of my cycle (so I was fertile & close to ovulation). I took it 45 minutes after the incident, and had no symptoms for around a week. After a week, I started bleeding. more than spotting but less than my normal period. It lasted around 5/6 days. I also had severely sore breasts, on and off cramps. Around a week after that I also had a lot of discharge (clear). These symptoms lasted on and off until I got my period yesterday.

MY PERIOD WAS 23 DAYS LATE. Don't absolutely freak like I did. I went to the doctors and took pregnancy tests and still wouldn't calm down. Try to relax this works! Symptoms suck but not prego!"


"I have been taking ambien for a few years and it has made a profound change in my sleeping routines. I am getting better sleep than ever!"


"I've been on Zovia almost 10 years now. Its cheap and worked for the reason I was taking it which was to prevent pregnancy. I can't say whether it made me gain weight because I figure after ten years its bound to normalize. I can say I get pretty bad PMS but I'm not sure this pill was ever advertised to treat PMS symptoms. I experienced depression, bloat, irritability, anxiety and lethargy the week before every period. I attribute some to my family history of anxiety and depression though, and it was never something I brought up with my Doctor. Never thought there was any reason to change it until now. Recently I did find a side effect to be too much to bear; low libido. I don't even want a man to look at me let alone touch me it's so terrible."


"I was prescribed Tranexamic acid because of my debilitating periods. I am 45 years old and feel like I am 14 just starting my period again. Huge blood clots, heavy flow for 4 to 5 days, just a horrible mess. I admit I was afraid of the side effects, but just after 1 day I feel alright, I feel a bit drowsy but manageable. My flow is less than half of what it used to be. I take 650mg of Motrin every 8 hours with the Transexamic, and it has been a game changer for sure. This was the first option my doctor wanted me to take, second was the IUD and last being surgery. So far I am pretty happy!"


"Worked really well for nerve pain - it's a lot like Lortab or Vicodin. It gives an energy burst (depending on your tolerance level with these types of medicine) within 20-40 minutes."


"Had zero withdraw symptoms with this medication."


"I took Magesum Citrate (about 7 oz) before I went to bed and woke up ready to release. This is very effective, though it can take a while, and personally, it was pretty hard to down the bottle. The taste isn't bad, I actually kind of liked it, but it was very sweet and stayed in my mouth, not anything too dis comforting however. Overall, this works like a charm, but it can be hard to swallow and works slower than other medica tions for constipation."


"I am 62, and was diagnosed with RA about 10 years ago, I have been through a battery of drugs to suppress my immune system, ending up on subcutaneous methrotrexate 10mg, I originally had a 'bad day' the day after my injections, however it seems to be getting to be a bad couple of days lately.  Intense pressure head ache (I'm also a migraine sufferer), nausea, confusion, tiredness and now really troubled sleep, nightmares, and some visual disruption/ (almost hallucinations), feelings of panic, unease and claustrophobic.  I know the alternatives, stop and face RA full on, but I would rather get 3/4 good days than be on the road to being completely disabled."


"Before taking Inderal, I was on 300mg of Topamax daily, which was a miracle drug for me.  It completely got rid of my headaches, however, the side affects of Topamax were hard.  Now I've been using Inderal for months and have found it almost as effective as Topamax but with little side affects.  I highly recommend it. "


"I have been taking Gilenya for almost a year and it's improved my quality of life because the side effects have been more tolerable because they have been far less frequent. I'm not happy about my hair thinning or the risk of cardiology problems. But when weighing them against possible worsening of MS putting me in a wheelchair, it was an easy choice"


"Got it in 2014 and just took it out. 2 years 3 months ish and 20 pound weight gain. Some head aches and some mood swings but not as bad as others. No period. 3 day spotting every 3 months. Never got pregnant. So I guess it's effective if u ding mind weight gain. With working out and eating healthy your wont loose anything. My body is also sensitive to hormones so I know now I can't do them after 40 pound weight gain on depo. The removal was more painful than the insertion. There was scar tissue growing around half of it so half was in tact while the other half looked like someone chewed on it. I still have burning and pain after removal. I guess I'll have to see how long the pain lasts."


"Years I have had IBS. I hate it.   So embarrassing.  Bently helped so much. No more cramps. No more pain.  No more running to the bathroom or missing time at work.    The dry mouth is terrible but it's better than almost pooping my pants so I will put up with it."


"Just had a hysterectomy last Wednesday, I have been having "very little" if at all bowel motions. I woke up this morning in excruciating abdominal pain. I took 2 doses in orange juice and I produced my first bowel motion in 1 hour! Wow! More fiber, water, ambulation and Miralax should keep me regular."


"Everyone's experience WILL be different.  I have experienced anxiety all my life, but no depression.  A medium to low dose of Paxil has normalized me.  My previous extreme fear of nautiousness and throwing up has been quelled.  Ativan and Xanax are fine as a temp solution (say for flying), but Pax has provided me with a normal level of anxiety.   I give Paxil 5 stars, but only if you feel anxiety along with some OCD.  Depression, bipolar, might require something else."


"This is the only medicine that has not given me horrible side effects. I am pleased."


"I love this brand the best. And yes I can tell the difference between generic brand. My short term memory is BAD. Mood, weight loss harder to get. Levoxyl works best. I'm glad my Dr. Listen to me."


"After a few years of not being on birth control I decided I needed to go back on it because the out of control mood swings and irrationality during PMS paired with the completely dibilitating back pain I was experiencing during the first two days of my period were ruining my life.
Month 1: rough. Crazy emotions for the first two weeks. I could barely sleep for the first 9 days. My skin and hair got very oily and I got a couple pimples which I never do. My boobs got bigger without weight gain.
Month 2 - spotted for 1 day instead of a period but still had PMS mood. No back pain. Skin and hair A+. No weight gain.
In the months since then I haven't bled or PMS at all but my back pain is starting to come back in waves so I might discontinue."


"I take 10 mg at night for intense right leg spasms that were occurring every morning and sometimes multiple times per day. Very painful and debilitating. First week on Baclofen felt a bit drowsy at night, but that quickly subsided. It has almost entirely taken away the morning spasms, leg only feels a bit tight when it wants/needs to spasm. This medicine has changed my life! If I miss one dose, the spasms quickly return. I definitely recommend this to anyone with spasm pain."


"Breakthrough bleeding, two periods in one month, weight gain, horrible lower back pain and cramping and terrible acne! Not moody at all but all the above a good reason to find something else"


"Did not work for me. But then I have not found anything that works for me."


"Dr put me on lavalo, I took it for a few months, 2 mg, then he increased to 4 mg.  I did start very bad upper back pain, hot flashes, weak but the worst side effect was horrible hives. The hives gradually got worse until I pinpointed livalo as being the culprit.  Took myself off and gradually the hives diminished. I'm still having hives just not as bad , but bad enough to bring me to tears.  I was also diagnosed with eczema a few years back, which I don't think I have. It's a mystery to most.  The hives have not completely went away, now every night I get them.  The first time I went to the Dr she told me to take Benadryl at night and losartin in the morning.  It helped for a few weeks but the hives started coming back. I'm miserable"


"Worst birth control I have ever taken. Went on it to regulate my period and stop my horrible cramps. Yes it did the job but gave me massive anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Was on it for about a month and a half and stopped immediately. My sex drive completely disappeared and still took a while to come back after I stopped taking this pill. I was moody 24/7 and not in a good mental state. Worst stuff I have ever taken."


"I'm 17 and I've been using Nuvaring for a little over a month. Aside from not being able to get as wet and some random mood swings, I think it's great! It's my first form of birth control, its SO simple. It has only fallen out once during sex but other than that no discomfort or problems on my part or my boyfriends. NO PREGNANCY SCARES. Also I've noticed that my breasts have gotten bigger. No complaints there. I'd for sure recommend Nuvaring to others to try out."


"Wow!  My urinary incontinence started several years ago and I've been wearing pads. I decided it was time to let my doctor order me a pill.  He gave me samples of Vesicare and I have taken them for one month.  They really worked for me.  Now when I get the urge, I head for the bathroom immediately but I have not wet my pants.  I have not had the side effects that some of you have had.  I have had a "raspy" voice a few times but chalked it up to postnasal drip which I've always had but even that has cleared up some so maybe that's the "dry mouth" part of it but it's certainly is not a problem..I still have lots of saliva. It's expensive even with my insurance covering 80% but after reading other medicine reviews, I guess I'll stay with it."


"I had a 4.8 mm stone that had been plaguing me for 3 weeks. I had been taking pain medicines off and on as needed and drinking plenty of water but I could tell (plenty of experience) that the stone was hung up just before entering the bladder in the narrowest part of the ureter.  I called the urologist to ask for a prescription for Flomax.  They were hesitant - didn't think I could pass it.  Long story short, they prescribed, I took it, stone passed less than 24 hours later.  Flomax   pain medicines   plenty of water = passing kidney stone quickly and inexpensively."


"A real life changer. I've had hyperhidrosis since high school (now 25) and I was always hiding in dark clothes to hide the stains. It does burn and itch when I put it on but I'd take that over the excessive sweating anyway. Pros definitely outweigh the cons!"


"Smoked for 43 years 2packs a day tried to quit with patch, hypnosis, chantex didn't work for me .  I went on bupropion 2 times a day for three days bad side effects but after 3 days all side effects went away .  I smoked for three weeks on the medication and quit. It was not hard to quit I was on the medicine for a total of 2 months quit the medicine and have been smoke free for 6 months ."


"4 CAPSULES AT NIGHT worked for me after 3 months.But the cost is outrageous."


"Quick relieve from anxiety improved mood and more productivity.

Love it."


"No effect after 3 months on it."


"I was so excited because everyone said it was so good. But now it's been 6 months. At first it was awesome. But now I have gained weight and even when I don't eat or only eat salads and eat healthy,I can't lose weight. And lately I'm extremely irritable and my depression has gotten much worse than before. Now my menstrual cycle lasts up to ten days and this month it stopped for 2 weeks and I started spotting again. And I've always had bad cramps during menstrual cycle but now it's all the time and twice as bad sometimes. I use to recommend this but now I don't anymore. I'm going to make an appointment to have it removed this coming week."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 for about 8 months. Since I've been on it I have lost my sex drive, can't sleep, slurred speech, headaches, you name it. I was happy to see other users have had similar side effects. I have been going crazy thinking something was wrong and now I know it's the pill! I have to say an upside to the pill is I started with short, light periods and now I don't even get my period at all. But the side effects are just too much to handle so I'm getting off this pill."


"I was put on Intuniv because I have schizophrenia and ADHD as I can't take the stimulant type medications.  I used the starter kit and did not notice any improvement in my focus or attention.  I was so tired I was falling asleep at 7-9pm at night and waking up at 6-7 in the morning.  I went to table tennis and was just a zombie.  I was asleep on my feet and couldn't wait for class to end instead of being my normal happy active self during class. I stopped taking this medicine ...even if it had helped with my ADHD it would probably have not been worth the side effects."


"I was prescribed this as my first ever birth control, because I had horrible 14 day long periods. It got to the point where i'd end up dizzy & hyperventilating. So my doc gave me this, so far everything has been normal except my boobs don't feel the same. I've only been on the pill for about three weeks but my bras are all too tight now and the girls feel super heavy. Coming from a 16 year old who's had B cup for a while, this was a surprise. I haven't had any mood swings out of the regular and my acne is nonexistent."


"My wife has taken Donepezil (first 5mg then after a year 10mg) for some three years.  Initially her Folstein MMS score was 28/30 and is now 17/30.  She has no apparent side effects.  I cannot tell what my wife would be like without it - now her forgetfulness is almost instantaneous and she is now incapable of independent living."


"Came home from college classes at 10:15 am  got out of my car and felt the chills coming.  Went upstairs to rest and figured that I'm sick.  Called my doc and scheduled an appointment.  He prescribed me Tamiflu and I thought, "Anything that makes this cruddy feeling go away is better than nothing."  Took one when I got home at 4pm  and one at 9pm.  Woke up the next morning feeling way better than the day before.  Fever went down, slight headache persisted.  Otherwise, a champion of a medicine!"


"The only side effects I had from this was sore breasts and constipation. Other than that, it worked well. Better than expected."


"Over the years I have gained a good amount of weight and it seems no matter what diet I tried after 2 weeks I found myself cheating and felt like a failure.  I was always in good physical shape but in my 30's that changed.  My dr suggested Qsymia to me and put me on it in June.  Since then I have successfully lost 29 pounds.  I exercise, I eat what I want but the portions are controlled and I only treat myself to a sliver of cake or sweets once a week.  I exercise 3 times a week.  I have had no side effects except once in awhile a dry mouth.  I give Qsymia a thumbs up-- it has given me back my confidence and has allowed me to learn to control my eating."


"My doctor has given me about 7 or 8 blood pressure medicines but I would have some bad side effect and the medicines would not work or would bring my blood pressure down too low. Niacin the only blood pressure medicine that has controlled my blood pressure with minimal side effects."


"I had my thyroid removed due to cancer 9 years ago. The doctor initially put me on Synthroid in various dosages which didn't work, then levothyroxin which also did not work. It took about a year before we all agreed my body was not absorbing it for some reason. A miserable year. I wasn't sure I would ever get to be "me" again. I was always exhausted, sad, lost my temper to a degree it was scary, and everything took a lot of effort. Depression had certainly set in and I had not experienced that before. Finally a neighbor told me about Armour so I asked for it. Don't believe the Synthroid smear campaign. This stuff works and is cheap! I alternate two strengths daily and a 30 day supply from Costco is about $35."


"Gives me moderate headaches, acne, fatigue and susceptibility to infections when I use it but it does help to manage ulcerative colitis. I have to balance between the side effects of the medicine and the intestinal damage. My goal is to use it once a week."


"I just started this drug 8/21/17, .06 mg.  I weighed this morning and was surprised to see I was already down 2.2 lbs.  I know this won't be typical, but was concerned when I didn't feel any of the side effects, thinking maybe it wasn't going to work for me.  Not much appetite, but forcing myself to eat something."


"I've had Nexplanon for about 4 months now. The first few months were great, no bad side effects and I didn't get my period at all. Then this month I started spotting (about 12 days ago) and it hasn't stopped yet. It's actually gotten heavier like a normal period and I'm having a lot of cramping. My skin has gotten a lot worse in the last month when it was pretty clear before. I have also lost weight and my appetite has decreased, not sure if it's from the birth control but I think it could be. I'm going to wait a few more months to see if these side effects continue/get worse before deciding whether or not to go back to the pill. At least it is effective as a birth control, as I haven't gotten pregnant."


"I have tendonitis in both elbows and ankles I am young and fit very active person a few months ago I could barely walk or hold a cup of water to my mouth without being in consent pain, I pushed through as much as I could but one day it got too much I went to my doctor who prescribed me 500mg Naproxen and instantly the pain has gone, I am back running and at the gym doing weights. I have had no side effects."


"I've been taking the pills for 4 months now. I was using  the mirena for 7years prior. Pros: no pregnancy,very light menstrual cycle, and no spotting. Cons: 1 st month pregnancy symptoms, ongoing: increase appetite,  bigger breast with sore to touch, and headache from time to time. If you can control your diet and exercise the weight gain won't occur or would be more manageable."


"I have degenerative disc disease. Medication works well. I have been on it for a year now with my oxycodone. It works miracles, I can go to work everyday and support my family ans when I come home I can actually enjoy the daily activities with my children, I once could not have thought of doing. I am so glad my life is back and am so grateful for a great doctor who after years found a way to put me back on my feet."


"Have had a cold for a little over a week now. Yes, I had it during Christmas, and I'll still have it for New Year's Eve. For 3 or 4 nights in a row, I couldn't sleep, due to a tickling in my throat when I would lie down at night. I would cough violently, attempting to stop the tickle. I was so exhausted by the time I went to the doctor for help. I'd tried everything over-the-counter with dextromethorphan HBr (Mucinex Fast-MAX) and pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) but nothing was touching it. Thanks to one tiny teaspoon of this prescription elixir, I've just enjoyed 10 hours of solid (uninterrupted) sleep! Hallelujah! I didn't wake up even once to cough! I'm so glad there's still something out there that works!"


"I was depressed for 2 months while on this pill. As soon as I stopped taking it my depression went away. I have a prescription for Naturethroid and I really hope it works!"


"this med is awful for me. I am more out of control than I was on lantus. terrible headaches in the afternoon and evening. my hypo awareness is worse. if it wasn't for my cgm I would probably be in hospital or dead. I think new meds are a great thing, but when your insurance renews in oct - nov people can no longer afford it due to copays ,so they have to change back to a more affordable med and start all over again it's a terrible way to live."


"I have been taking tetracyne for a month now, my face and upper back cleared up, but my lower back acne and side acne flared up. I'm not sure why that happened."


"After two months of being on this medication, I had to wean off. I just couldn't take it anymore. You feel absolutely horrible on this stuff. Severe brain fog, unease, restless, extremely affected my cognitive abilities, etc. This was the worst SSRI I have ever taken. It did not work for me, however, it might work for you. After two months of being off the medication, the brain fog and cognitive abilities are still present, this did not happen on other SSRIs."


"Did not work at all for me. So disappointed.  It was very expensive.  And I think it might have made my skin worse."


"I've been on Junel Fe for 4 months now and it is horrible! I have never had anxiety this bad and I cry all the time over the littlest things!! I am tired all the time and my boyfriend has noticed that I've become a lot more emotionally unstable since starting this pill. My last two periods lasted over two weeks and they were very heavy. I would not recommend if you struggle with anxiety or depression. The one good thing that came out of this is that I'm not pregnant lol"


"This product was very effective in preventing pregnancy and made my periods a lot lighter but, for me, it came with a lot of side effects. I was extremely moody, I wanted to break down and cry about even the littlest things, I was temperamental and got irritated easier than normal, and my period was extremely irregular. I was only on it for 3 months with these side effects being continuous the entire time so my nurse practitioner decided to change my contraceptive to Levora. I'm 18, healthy, 5'4" and about 110lbs. Hope this helps."


"I am a senior citizen who has been on Restasis for 5 yrs.  It is so expensive that using it puts me in the medicare donut hole.  The drug company, Allergan, is unwilling to give me assistance in the form of samples and my dr's office gave me two samples one time during the 5 yr. period and after that will not help.  I was refused two samples to get me through until Jan 1 when my new insurance year begins.  It costs $481.35 for a monthly supply so even though my copay is only $30, I am in the donut hole by August at the latest.  Allergan has a racket going on here at the expense of the patient. It's not affordable even though it's effective. Totally unfair, corrupt company."


"I have lost a total of 100lb in 1 year on this.  I have about 50 more pounds to go."


"I love NuvaRing. A few years back I went on the pill for a few months and was almost suicidal. After dating my boyfriend for several months I decided it would be safer to go on some form of protection and my physician recommended NR. The first month and a half I was an emotional wreck. Irritable and moody and it almost ruined my relationship. I feel nothing now except for a moment of cramping. He can't feel it during sex either and I never feel it day-to-day. I am very dry during intercourse regardless of a level of stimulation. That's my only complaint"


"I cannot tell you how pleased I am to have found epiduo. I had horrible acne all throughout middle school then I finally cleared it up by high school. I was happy with my skin for about a year...then I got on birth control which broke me out horribly. My acne was just as bad as it was in middle school, except now I was 18 years old. I went back to the dermatologist and tried everything. Nothing worked. I finally switched dermatologists and they immediately put me on epiduo. Within two months my face has cleared except for the occassional one or two pimples around my period. I've never been happier. Dried my face out a little at first, but all acne medications do. It's well worth it - a life saver."


"I had another GI doctor suggest Miralax for a colonoscopy prep and that was a mistake. the doctor who did the test could not see anything and I had to come back another time with a " real prep""


"Ive been in recovery from opiods for 14 months( which my dr prescribed for chronic hip bursitis. worse thing ever), anyways,I take 15mg of remeron and sleep like a rock. I take it 1 hr before bed, and I don't wake up once in the night. I used to toss and turn from pain every 1hour and woke up exhausted.  Now I sleep straight through and my anxiety is gone.  I never considered myself a depressed person, but I can say my mood is even better.  If you cant sleep, I would def recommend this!"


"I've had asthma since I was 18. Over the last 36 years, it has gotten progressively worse. My lungs were always congested and breathing was always labored. Prednisone used to work for a few months and clear up those symptoms but not anymore.  Already in my 50s and my breathing getting steadily worse, I did some research to find the best respiratory hospital in the USA. In July 2015 which I went to and I was diagnosed with eociniphilic asthma but Nucala wasn't yet approved. I started Nucala in April 2017. By the fourth shot, I'm a new person. I can breathe without lung congestion and haven't used my rescue inhaler at all in five weeks. It's a miracle drug! Thank you GlaxoSmthKline!!"


"Miracle pill."


"Was given an im injection in the buttocks for migraines and it was completely ineffective. The pain that the injection caused was infuriating considering there was absolutely no relief of the headache."


"So far, so good. I'm using this so I can continue breastfeeding and not have another baby yet. No side effects, and I have not had my period, which is nice. My baby is 8 months old, and we're both happy!"


"I have Undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy, MCTD & SLE. I started Rituxan at the end of December 2015 after Enbrel lost efficacy. I am also on MTX & Plaquenil. My rheum explained that Rituxan works in a different manner from the TNF inhibitors and because of this it takes longer to work. While I began noticing Enbrel's efficacy within 2 weeks and was in remission by 3 months, with Rituxan I didn't even notice any difference until about 10 weeks in. I have slowly improved, but I am not in remission. Prior to Rituxan most of my joints were painful; after 14 weeks I am down to about 15. My daily pain level has gone from about an 8 to 4 or 5. My rheum said sometimes patients will see a better response after dose #4. I hope for remission. I will redose in 6 months following the RA guidelines."


"I had the shot on October 5th 2016 and I can honestly say that I would never recommend this shot to anyone. I have bled every single day since I received it and it is now December 10th. Talk about about low sex drive when you're constantly bleeding 24/7. Not fun. Not to mention that it has made me feel weak every second of the day. I don't know if it's from bleeding so much or what. It's also caused stage 1 acne on my face. I've never had problems with any kind of acne until receiving this shot. I've gained about 5 pounds since October too. Needless to say I will never be on this birth control again once it wears off. It has made me feel absolutely awful about myself."


"Started suffering with severe migraines 2 years ago, presented with sensitivity of light, extreme sickness and impaired cognitive function. Started off on 10mg nortriptyline, increased to 25mg and now 50mg and now I only get migraines once a month, been on it for a year and seen an incredible improvement."


"I was given Paxil 20 mg for depression.  I had not taken any antidepressant during my life.  My greatest sadness was when my brother died.  It stopped working.  I know this med is NOT a magic pill.  Instead of feeling better, I was feeling worse.  I did NOT do ANY research on this med.  My Family Practice MD told me to take 40 mg.  Again, I took the med but didn't really feel well on this med.  I gained LOTS of weight.  I was put on the med because I was depressed and NOT eating.  That changed quickly, when I started the Paxil.  I finally decided that Paxil was not working for me, I was overweight and I decided to wean from this med.  I started educating myself regarding Paxil.  Paxil MUST be tapered/weaned.  Med can't be stopped abruptly."


"This medication saved me! I was having daily panic attacks that were very physical and completely out of nowhere. I would think I was not getting a full breath. I would think that my chest was tightening and my body would go numb. My mind would become fuzzy and I would be paralyzed with fear. It happened during my classes, in movies, when I was out to eat, and I started feeling bad that those around me had to deal with me. Eventually, I just knew that it was a panic attack and I would and cry until it passed everyday in the nurses office at school. This was 5 years ago and I have been on buspar ever since! I have not had ONE bad panic attack in 5 years.. I would advise taking before bed, it makes you feel weird and tired like dead weight"


"It worked for me. In the beginning I thought it wasn't working, but it was just building up I guess. I was still having auditory hallucinations when I did too much stuff and didn't sleep properly, but that was just me. The Vraylar stopped my delusions of " everyone is trying to modify me" or "everyone is plotting to put me in the mental hospital". I am getting along fine with everyone now!

Unfortunately, even with the copay, I can't afford it. So I'm switching to another antipsychotic.

Just sharing that this medication does work.

My blood sugar didn't go sky high, which was a huge fear of mine because I did go full blown diabetic and had to be hospitalized on other antipsychotics ( which I will not name). I did not gain any weight."


"I%u2019m 37 and I had been suffering from panic disorder since I was 25 and this works great for anxiety."


"So I have always been a big girl! I have 3 kids and with each pregnancy there was added weight that just carried over and you know how the story goes...I pushed myself and my wants and needs to the side and took care of everyone but myself. The more weight I put on the more depressed I got. I got to 280lbs!!!! My body was in constant pain and discomfort and I knew I had to stop and do do something about it. I started the pills last year and lost a total of 125lbs!!! Not just the pills but I started the gym, did zumba 3 times a week and started eating good. The pills aren't the magic fix. They just help you kind of like a kick start. Sure I had side effects!!!! But nothing that would out weight being close to 300lbs."


"20 y/o college female. Keeps me alert, focused, awake. I usually wait a little bit after taking it to have caffeine, not necessary just personal preference based on how it makes me feel. Switched to it after taking vyvanse for almost a year, which was great but it eventually made me irritable. so far i have loved this medication. no side effects, but if you take a dose too late in the day it will keep you up at night. i take 5mg in the morning and then another dose when i really need to focus. shorter release so i feel like i need a nap after 4-5 hours. overall would recommend."


Postoperative Increased Intraocular Pressure

"Painless, no side effects, assume it is doing its thing."


"Started taking Bydureon 6 weeks ago.  The first 4 weeks, blood sugars were lower by 15-25 points, no weight loss but happy with BS results.  Week 5, began to be very nauseous on and off, being around food or cooking for  family difficult.  Could only eat bland, room temp/cold foods like half a bagel, granola bar, cereal, bananas.  Everything else made me sick.  Week 6, nausea much worse without stopping, could not tolerate smell/sight of food, especially meat.  Weekend trip with family was ruined because I could not be in any restaurants.  Vomited several times.  Finally called my doctor and he took me off of it.  Waiting to get it all out of my system.  Will look for alternative drug."


"First dose slept 22 hours. After that no problem. Works very well on my lower back pain caused by arthritis and compressed disks 3,4,5. I take hydrocodone 10s every 6 hours also. Hope this helps with your decision."


"This is my third colonoscopy.  Sure,  Suprep doesn't taste good,  but it's no where near as bad as the Phosphosoda stuff I had years ago with the first procedure.  That stuff was like drinking concentrated sea water. The Suprep was a walk in the park by comparison.

The two day prep worked well for me and I think the bland,  low bulk,  low fiber diet two days before the procedure reduces the cramps and abdominal discomfort.  Thirty minutes after the first dose it started working.   I had a little nausea,  a few chills, but nothing major.  I have yet to take the second dose but don't anticipate any problems."


"I had suffered from extreme anxiety and depression for a few years and countless prescribed anti-depressants prior to trying Effexor. I suffered anxiety so bad that it was hard to do daily tasks such as driving and going to the grocery store. I went through countless jobs because a panic attack would strike at work and I would have to rush out of the situation and never return because the fear of it happening again would haunt me. The very first day being on Effexor, I felt like a different person. For the first time in years, I wanted to venture out into the world and be around people. After a week of being on 75 mg, I landed a job and now, two years later I am still symptom free and off the medicines. I give this medicine a big 10!"


"So far I have been on Victoza for three weeks now, at first being on the 1.2 dose was very nauseating, so I went back to 0.6 and that reduced the nausea, but that was not the solution to the blood sugar highs, now being back to the 1.2 dosage the nausea is not bad and my hunger is so reduced that I now have to force myself to eat.  My only main side effect so far has been the headaches.  I love the fact that I only have to take this once a day.  Insurance companies and the government need to take note of the successes some are having and start including this on all medical/prescription plans.  "


"Hi, firstly let me make this clear, no one paid me to write this review. I am simply giving away my experience so that if there are any guys out there who suffer from the same thing as I did then please DO NOT worry.

I am 24 years old, healthy male. I had an amazing sex life throughout my teen years. But recently I started going out with this new girl, and really love her but couldn't get an erection, so read up loads and came across Cialis, I was anxious about taking it, but I took a 10mg, and my sexual desire, drive and endurance was through the roof. I guess its a good way to eliminate performance anxiety. Totally recommend it, its an amazing medicine but come off it when you are ready."


"I have heard so many negative reports about the mirena coil. I had mine fitted 8 months ago and am very pleased with it.  The only symptoms I have noticed are being more aggressive and an even higher sex drive."


"My body had developed resistance for the  sitagliptin after 45 days of use. Sitagliptin worked fine with my body for 40-45 days and became ineffective later. My doctor switched me to glipizide/glimepiride which works with my body effectively even after 1 yr use along with metformin combination."


"Before my psychotic break that turned into a delusional police chase I was manic, terribly delusional, thought the devil was everywhere I went, thought people were after me, thought devil controlled electronics and the internet. Just too many bad symptoms and after receiving invega injection I've been told that I was more outgoing, and had absolutely no symptoms. But the side effects sucks such as high prolactin levels which resulted in low testosterone, anhedonia, and lower emotions"


"I'm thrilled with this product. After using for 6 weeks I have gone 7 days without have to remove facial hair. I have blond hair so hence laser wouldn't work for me. After going through the menopause I was having to pluck almost daily, I was staggered at the speed the hair was growing. I heard about this product googling methods of hair removal, and found out it was available on prescription in the UK. I went to my GP, thinking I would have to beg to get it prescribed as it's very expensive. My GP was extremely sympathetic and happily agreed, and wished me good luck, as I believe sadly it doesn't work for everyone. I really hope more and ladies hear about this product. Absolute life saver!!"


"This Medicene makes me sick!!! Nauseated so bad.! Will call Doctor to see if their is another option. No way I can take this for several more days."


"I had the skyla inserted 1.5 months ago. That process was painless- I was put under total sedation and don't remember a thing. So I switched from the pill to skyla so I wouldn't have to go to the pharmacy every month and deal with the copay as well as remembering to take that dang pill the same time every day. so, got the thing inserted everything fine except for the fact I have been getting HEAVY periods that last more than 10 days at a time for 2 times a month (oh yea I definitely can't get pregnant now because I don't want to have sex). I have had a slight change in moodiness (uncontrollable anger/sadness) and my shoulders and lower back is now covered in acne! Gyno says to wait 3 mo for side effects to wear off."


"I take this drug since about 3 years ago every other day.  I am a HBP patient so no decongestants for me.  This one is the one that has alleviated my allergies, as I have been a sufferer all of my life.  But it also makes me so relax that I sleep for more than 10 hours, then by Spring time they are not enough for me, and  taken everyday, I doze the whole day and symptoms of congestion is worse, I stopped using Flonase because it irritates my nose, then it burns and bleed.  So this year I tried myself a combination of both Levocetirizine 5 m and over the counter Claritin.  I felt so alleviated from my Spring allergy but I didn't feel sleepy at all."


"This medication has given me a love hate for it, I had horrible cystic acne all over my face neck shoulders chest and back! I have been on the medication 3 weeks now and have seen a drastic improvement! I have tried other medications that yielded no results at all. If you want to start taking this medication for your acne I recommend it but be warned the side effects are nasty! I have the worst joint pain in my feet and ankles every morning and it last for a few hours also my lips have been very dry and I have been applying way too much carmax.  my face has dry spot from where the acne is clearing up and that doesn't look too attractive either. All in all this medication works and you will love the results but the side effects suck"


"If I take it as soon as the mildest cramping begins, it works well. However, I may still run to the bathroom for 2 or more hours before I am completely relieved of pain and cramping.

Also, you need to drink a significant amount of water throughout the day; it dries out your mouth and throat. For me, I can take half a pill and not dry up so severely."


"Pain Free. Effective.  Cream causes itching temporarily."


"Month 5 on Clomid, 25mg days 5-10 and still no luck. I've been charting temps and using OPK's,  while being monitored every month with scans and lab work. Side effects are rough after I O. I cramp and get backaches to the point where I can't get out of bed. Thinking this will be my last month since I've been gaining about 8lbs per month."


"I started ParaGard about three months after giving birth to my second child.  I had it removed 14 months later.  Pros: 1) I didn't have to remember to take it.  2) Didn't change my mood or weight 3) Comforting that there weren't any unnecessary hormones in my body 4) It was effective in preventing pregnancy.  Cons: 1) My periods lasted for THREE weeks on average (sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more).  -I was told it will get back to normal, give it a few months -After it didn't, they refused to believe it was the IUD because it was copper/nonhormonal.  2) less sex with my husband because of the heaviness and length of my periods.
 -------- I had it removed and my periods were almost instantly back to normal (3-5 days)."


"40 year old male. I have been on Belviq for 8 weeks. I've lost 20 pounds to date. I had a starting BMI of 32. It has totally removed my night time cravings for food. My biggest problem is late night eating. I usually eat pretty healthy during the day and ruin it at night because I am a night owl and would get hungry late night and would resort to snacks or even worse, fast food. Belviq makes me not think of food all the time and I've noticed I'm not eating as much during meal time. I try to work out 3 times a week but with my work schedule, it can be hard and some weeks I don't work out at all. I am happier and can't wait to lose more. No noticeable side effects here."


"I have been using ropinirole for about 2 1/2 years now. I finally can get a good night's sleep. I take it nightly; I can't forget to take it because my legs start getting restless. I have had to increase dosage to 2 mg and I have never experienced any side effects to my knowledge."
