"This is my 2nd time taking birth control. I am on my 2nd pack with this particular one and near the end of the 2nd week. Maybe 4-5 days after my period ends, I get another period or "breakthrough bleeding" I'm not happy with this at all because this will probably go on until I finish the pack. So technically I bleed for about 2-3 weeks. This is not cool. I will give this one more month to see if my body will adjust. If this situation doesn't get better then I'm going to discontinue use of this product."


"As a result of exposure to pesticide and living with depression (on & off for years), I began to have problems with memory, concentration, distractibility and constantly losing and misplacing things. After much testing, Alzeihmers was ruled out and my diagnosis is Mild Cognitive Impairment. Aricept helped immensely. I still contend with the above problems, except to a much lesser degree than before I started taking Aricept. After about 8-months, the medicine seemed a little less effective but it still keeps me functioning."


"Excellent. Must be used long term. Got my son well in 9 months."


"I have been taking Reglan 10mg doses for years. It has changed my life in a good way. It has controlled my gastroparesis completely. I was having to go to the E.R. for pain before I started Reglan. I take 4 a day. 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I have had no side effects at all from this medicine except relief. I would recommend Reglan to anyone suffering from gastroparesis."


"I can't eat or be around a lot of people with out it or zannex. Zannex is good but doesn't last as long. My Mom even said while I was on diazepam, it's good to see a smile on your face:-)! It may may make you feel kind of goofy for a couple days but after that it just helps. The sedation subsides as well. A very tolerable medication that really does help. Trust me!"


"Entyvio works but it wears off after 3 weeks. It is 8 weeks between the IVs.
By 5 weeks, I am back to passing mush and having accidents. This is not acceptable for a $40K drug."


"I started getting panic attacks when I was 12. Every time I had to present something to my class it felt like I was having a heart attack and my hands and voice would shake uncontrollably. I couldn't get through the presentations most of the time and the kids would make fun of me. It was dreadful. Finally, when I was 14 I saw the doctor that prescribed this. It was a life changer. There was a speech I had to give as an 8th grade project and while I was up at the podium I could actually organize all my thoughts. No shaking. No heart palpitations. No sweaty hands. I could have stayed up there for hours! I even remember thinking, this stuff really works!" I'm 23 now and started taking it for work-related situations."


"Was on this medication for 5-6 weeks. Titrated up to 40mg, but this made my anxiety so bad (mostly physiological), that I went back down to 30mg. Was only on 40mg for a few days. Got my first brain zap, and accompanying psychosis with full blown auditory hallucinations. That's when I knew it was time to quit. Viibryd isn't as bad at inhibiting sexual desire as other SSRIs, but it STILL does! For anxiety, this medication wasn't helpful- but I did notice myself in a more positive and upbeat mood (for what that's worth). After spending a total of 4-5 hours researching this drug, and hearing about what it's like if you forget to take your dose (even if you're an hour off)- I was scared straight. Weaned myself off FAST (5mg reduction per night)."


"my advice on movantik is understand that movantik is an opioid blocker in the same manner that naloxone (found in suboxone) is an opioid blocker. My husband took 12.5mg and was thrown in withdrawal. Nausea first, chills, fever, shaking so hard the bed was vibrating. I thought movantik worked on the backed up s**t but it stops the opioid from working. Of course you will have diarrhea when your pain meds are cut off. It may not happen to everyone but it happened to my husband. I guess it's back to OIC"


"After 4 weeks on Solvaldi and Ribavarin, my viral load is "0", not detected! I'm due for my 8 week test and hope that it will reveal the same, and maybe only have to be on it for 12 weeks. No side effects whatsoever, in fact, I feel great!!
Thank you~~"


"Hey, does anyone have severe allergy-like reactions after stop taking Harvoni? I was genotype1b, and was prescribed a two 28-days of Harvoni. My medical report says the virus was undectective after my first blood test after taking the medication, roughly about 28 days. I felt very happy about the result. But, I kept feeling like I got a strong flu and allergy reaction, sneezing, coughing and running nose. First thought I was catching cold since I was in the office, the AC was pretty hard. And my house was surrounded by a lot trees, I may got severe allergy reaction. (Only this year starts the reaction, I never felt like that ever before). Now I started to think if it's the medication gets me that strong reaction. It affected my sleep too!!"


"Has helped in manic episodes a little but still experience depressional relapses and moodiness."


"Constant nausea, stomach pain, some vomiting."


"I take 25mg at bedtime for interstitial cystitis and it works great for me. It does take some time to get used to  and it makes you tired but after a month or so I had no complaints."


"I've been on this birth control for almost 5 years and it's definitely done its job. I did gain weight on it. I have this stubborn pouch on my stomach that I can't loose now and it wasn't there before the pill. My periods come every month and last a week. I have no acne, but I'm not sure if that's because of the pill."


"I use Ocella and my only complaints are that I am moody occasionally and my periods are heavier and I get very bad cramps, which I never used to get. I actually lost six pounds in the first month I took it, but it didn't really clear up my face completely, just a little. I would recommend this birth control."


"I just started this medication two days ago and felt the effects within the same day. It was an absolute miracle like a curse was lifted off of me. I'll have to wait a few weeks and be observant of its effects, which so far have only been decrease in appetite. All in all this drug saved my life"


"Inderal has definitely helped with my migraine prevention. I started getting migraines when I was 13. Now late 20s I am finally migraine free besides the odd one I get due to hormones or when really stressed out! I reduced to taking 40mg in the morning rather than 40mg morning and night and have found the migraines still stay away. The only side effects I've had was nightmares initially, that soon went after a couple months. I get very cold hands and feet, sometimes in warm weather my feet are still cold! I also feel slightly more tired/sleepy but its worth it compared to the regular migraines I was experiencing beforehand."


"I have been using Humira since October of 2009, I had a lot of swelling in my joints after the injection and redness, swelling and bruising.  I have not noticed much difference. I have started not only the cartilage degeneration but it is affecting my bone also.  We are about to try Simponi.  Hopefully this will work."


"Diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, my physician prescribed two Vicodin a day for pain relief.  For the first couple of days I was drowsy after the noon tablet but now my body seems to have acclimated itself to the drug and I'm no longer drowsy, and I'm reasonably pain free.  It isn't perfect, but I gave it an eight out of a possible ten!  I don't expect to be on it long enough to worry about addiction."


"I am about to turn 50 and my life of anxiety has been a recent and unpleasant downward spiral. I ended up in the emergency room twice with soaring blood pressure, flushing and heart palpitations plus overwhelming feelings of panic. I live daily with either anxiety or small panic attacks, they are debilitating and have affected my ability to continue work on my degree. After my last ER visit a doc felt I was having panic attacks and directed me to seek help at a Mental Health Clinic. I've tried several anti-depressants and I have not tolerated them well. Xanax (0.5 mg) has gotten me through many a day and night and I prefer this medication over all the others. It decreases the anxiety very quickly and helps to maintain a sense of normality."


"I got my Implanon on 4/21/11.  The only pain I felt during insertion was the numbing shot, but that only lasted for maybe 20 seconds or less.  After that, absolutely no pain during the rest of the insertion.  Now looking at the insertion site, there is a bruise, but it's not terrible, and the insertion site looks no bigger than the width of a nickel!  My arm was numb for the rest of that day, and I have had practically no pain ever since.  It's a little tender to the touch, but nothing to complain about.  I haven't had to take any pain medication for it.  I got the Implanon inserted towards the end of my period. My period stopped and have had no bleeding as of yet. It is pretty soon after the fact, but I am very happy with my decision!"


"This medication was a bit of a struggle for me... for one reason: SPOTTING.  Like, alot.  Within the first month I spotted for two weeks, then it subsided for about a week.  Then I spotted for another two weeks, and this just kept happening.  Finally, into the fourth pack I noticed I hadn't spotted in a while and was very happy.  I decided to start running for about twenty minutes every day to get some exercise.  Unfortunately, I began spotting heavily during my first run.  From then on I have been spotting every time I run.  I am now going to switch birth control pills.  Other than the issue I had with spotting, this pill is pretty good.  I did not gain any weight on this pill, however my breasts did go up a size."


"Been on sulfasalazine for 3 years, for me the first 2 weeks were hard on the stomach. Felt like I was going to vomit all the time but never did, it was slow to have the effect maybe  a month, but after that it has been good. Still get flare up the odd time. It is inexpensive compared to the other medications."


"HERE WE GO... New product. I search all product before taking them, I read all reviews and make my choice to try the product.. I will try this, but I will follow through and tell you my experience! Here is some info about me. I am 26 years old (female) Hormonal imbalance (cyst) and bumpy cheeks. I get under the skin cyst that pop up once a month, sometimes two to three at a time. If I mash them, nothing really comes out, but it leaves holes in my face.. the bumps on my cheeks are around my ears and were I would apply blush. I changed out my brushes btw. Anyways other them that I have moderate skin, no severe acne. I am fair skinned. and I'm combination skin type. I go from oily by the end of the day with flakes under my makeup (lol)"


"Prozac saved me! I've been in and out of hospitals for 10 years. Was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. After changing Doctors and medicines I finally feel like myself again. I here no voices of worry and stress. I'm not irritated over the slightest things. I can now think clearer. After months of depression and panic attracts my new doctor recommended Prozac. For weeks I felt nausea and weakness. Then on the third week I got up and out and got a job the same day! I was no longer stuttering and confused. My relationship with my significant other is 100% better. My thoughts were very clear. I'd finally gained my confidence back! I'm very happy I tried Prozac. I feel amazing."


"I have taken every birth control know to man, and this one was the only one I could tolerate for nausea, and upset stomach. Although, after being on it for several months, I have re occurring consistent UTI's at least one every two months, Acne on my back (I have NEVER had acne), horrible mood swings, significant hair loss, lack of energy, headaches, suicide thoughts and horrible anxiety. I was so conflicted, and second guessed my side effects with this pill, after getting off of it, all of those symptoms were gone. Ladies, it's NOT worth it."


"I've used it way more than a few times. It truly works and truth be told it does mess up your period. One time it went away for 3 months and I was going crazy thinking I was pregnant but I wasn't. It's different for everyone but most of the time I'm normal and no side effects. It is expensive though."


"Bad experience. Bad sleep."


"Lexapro changed my life! I had coped with generalized anxiety, depression, even slight OCD since I was a child. Everything in my life was affected by it in some shape or form. I have been on Lexapro 10 mg for three years now and I can't imagine being without it. I'm happy with my life; work, family, friends. No more anxiety attacks or crying spells or OCD. My husband can 100 percent see the change. I only had a few side effects for the first few weeks like yawning and slight night sweats (didn't interrupt my sleep) for several months and now none. I think my doctor puts it best; diabetics take insulin because their bodies don't produce enough and people who have the symptoms above don't make enough serotonin take a medicine like Lexapro."


"It really works for my son as prevention for asthma attacks"


"This med saved my life. I was having a hard time dealing with all the side effects from my menopause."


"I have had 2 Mirena's.  I had my first one inserted immediately after my second child.  It was uncomfortable but not painful.  I had it for the full five year.  I loved it!  I had it removed and was pregnant with my third child within 3 months.  I had my second mirena inserted a year after birth.  This time it was much more painful at insertion.  Again, great experience for another 5 years.  I had no cramping, no menstrual cycle, and no "bad" side effects. Over the last 10 years I have gained 20 pounds. I never experienced any kind of Mirena crash.  For someone who does not want to worry about a daily or monthly birth control and wants something long term, I would recommend Mirena."


"I was suffering from major cystic acne on my cheeks, forehead and chin. Everyone started commenting on the horrible situation of my face :( I started feeling frustrated. I used to feel ashamed going outside. Then my doctor prescribed me doxycycline tablet (1/day), clyndamine gel. It took one month to start showing its effects. And believe me ..my skin started becoming real clear. Right now my chin and forehead are completely clear and cheeks are having light acne marks which are fading day by day .Now the people who used to comment on my acnes they are admiring my clear face :) :)"


"Coming up on 1 year of Tambocor   Metoprolol for treatment of atrial fibrillation. It works very well, no attacks at all since starting Tambocor, hence my life is better in that respect. However, there is a trade off, my energy level is lower and I feel exactly the same when I get up at 7:30 in the morning; whether I go to bed at 9:00PM or stay up until after midnight. I am chronically tired. Also, I notice strange things with my peripheral vision occasionally since on the Tambocor. That's not to scare anyone off, I can still function normally, from yard work, to splitting wood, to playing golf, on the outside I doubt anyone who knows me has a clue that I am on medication. It is a "feeling" to me. I can tell I am a little "off" but it's worth it."


"I have taken moxifloxacin for 2 days so far - and NO SIDE EFFECTS! In fact, I FINALLY feel normal and healthy again. I wanted to die of flu symptoms before I took Avelox. I took Amoxicillin for 8 days (prior to Avelox), which did NOTHING! I went to my doctor, desperate, and he prescribed me 5 days of Avelox. I have taken 2, no side effects, and FINALLY FINALLY feel well again. I was sick for OVER 2 weeks, flu, SEVERE body aches, SEVERE sore throat/majorly swollen glands on right side of neck, SEVERE earache right side, fever, headache - MISERABLE!  AVELOX FIXED ME. THANK you Doctor. THANK you AVELOX! Just educate yourself on precautions! There are many things you need to do (take in morning, don't take with certain medicines)."


"Just as a warning, I got rushes of aggression on Abilify. My psych said that is not uncommon, as the medicine does not suit everyone."


"I've had seriously awful hives and angioedema for 3 months and tried everything on my own to lessen my symptoms, even taking Benadryl around the clock. I went to my doctor who prescribed this and warned it would make me drowsy when I took it. For the first time in 3 months I've had hardly any hives (though they aren't completely gone, but much easier to handle) and I wasn't drowsy at all (maybe because I'm used to taking all the Benadryl and fighting drowsiness). I haven't had any side effects."


"Knowing I am very reluctant to pill taking in general, my doctor pushed Actonel on me saying ''now don't give it up after a few months !"
I persevered for 10 months. I used to be very active, exercising everyday, talking long walks, realizing I have aged 10 years in those ten months. I did some research on the net and understood where my problems came from. Aching everywhere, stiff, tired ... I stopped."


"I got the implant inserted three years ago, I got constant bleeding. I would have a period for a month straight and really bad abdominal pain. The insertion was painful as the anaesthetic was not  effective. I couldn't sleep on my left side for A week. During the time I had the implant I had to go on the pill to stop the bleeding. After the first year I was still getting 2 week periods and 2 weeks of no bleeding, I eventually got it out after having it for 2 years. Do not get this, it will ruin your sex life !!"


"Post surgery: I am sensitive to medicine and this one is not too hard on my stomach.  It helps me get comfortable enough to get a good nights sleep.  It will cause hard stool or constipation.  I have been taking one every night at dinner and 2 stool softeners in the morning with breakfast.  Cannot take and work or drive so only useful for nights.  Overall very happy with this."


"I took Effexor for about 2 years for my panic disorder and it was a huge mistake! Effexor caused me to have violent out burst which I never had before the medicine, increased aniexty and suicidal thoughts.I thought I was doing good on the Effexor but everyone around me saw a complete change in me and it was bad. Almost 1 month  ago I was sick for 3 days and was unable to keep my Effexor down from being sick so without knowing withdrawal began which included manic behavior, crying spells, nausea, brain zaps and a suicide attempt that landed me in a mental hospital and while there detoxed from the Effexor and put on new medicine. I know Effexor has worked for a lot of people but I wanted to share my story so people will research before starting"


"I had the Paragard inserted in less than 5min painfree.....After my doctor did a vaginal and stomach sonogram to make sure it was in the correct position and I was done. The only complication is my periods are longer, heavier, and more crampier, but no biggie. I love the Paragard. I have no complaints."


"Was diagnosed with narcolepsy 30 years ago at age of 40 years old.  For the last 10 years have been on Adderall ( 2 x 20 mg at 8am, 2x 20 mg  and 2x 20mg at 1 pm.) & Ritalin ( 2 x 10 mg at 9am, 12pm &2pm) Reason  for Ritalin was to augment the Adderall "peak and fall off".  I had tried Provigil when it first came on the but it didn't work,  Now at 70 yrs old it seemed that I had developed a tolerance Adderall.  After a lengthy discussion with health care provider, I agreed to give Provigil another try ( 200 mg once daily).  At next doctor's appointment, I complained of the "afternoon fall off" and the dose was changed to 200mg twice daily ( morning and early afternoon),  Issue solved and Provigil is working GREAT!!!"


"I got it when I was 18 and kept it all three year and just got it for another 3. I didn't have all the side effects. I spotted for a little while or randomly here or there, but nothing heavy or bothersome. I keep having yeast infections. I'm not sure if that's related though."


"After having  been misdiagnosed with a yeast infection, diagnosed with BV, treated with Metronidazole gel and then developing a yeast infection because of the gel, I've been three weeks with pants of fire. If you're reading this, you might know the feeling. I did three doses of Diflucan and no relief. Dizziness and general crummy feeling, but still burning and itching. One dose of M3 and I thought I was in Heaven. No burning. It was relief within an hour (and I was terrified of all the burning reviews). Not everyone reacts the same. One day and I'm looking forward to dose 2. The cooling effect is wearing off and I want this thing gone. Monistat 3 cream was my savior!"


"I've had this IUD since April 2017. The initial issue was bleeding for about a week but other problems in the long run for me are the mood swings, feeling deep depression, and the slight weight gain. Even after eating right & working out I wasn't able to lose any weight while having this IUD in me unlike when I didn't have it in me I could lose weight fast. I do have periods but they aren't as heavy and very irregular. For me this IUD does it's job. I haven't gotten pregnant at all while on it. It's good to get if you aren't trying to get pregnant of course but be sure to do your research in advance & review others side affects to it before getting it which I wish I did but didn't. If I did, I wouldn't have got it and I plan to remove asap"


"Have been suffering from anxiety and recently have been having panic attacks. I started Zoloft about a week ago, but am using Xanax in the meantime for short-term relief. The pill is amazing, and calms me down within about 20 minutes. Such a wonderful drug."


"Works right like it said it would but heavy bleeding."


"Linzess has been my best friend for a year . After spending thirty years with painful stomach aches, I feel like I have been given a new life!  I take one 290 capsule in the morning , usually run to bathroom a few times with no pain. No pain. No lying in bed all day feeling exhausted. No worrying about going to work, shopping, wondering if I will be able to make appointments without cancelling. No more staying in the bathroom all day. I tried hundreds of things, and Linzess came through for me and my family. Forever grateful."


"I have been taking Zoloft since September 2014, I was diagnosed with PTSD and started on 50mg and during the first month I had a slight reduction in my anxiety and general mood, but the flashbacks continued. My dose was increased to 100mg and I felt better with mild anxiety and no emotions, I can be happy but not sad, Anxiety continued and some flashbacks, my doctor increased my dose to 150mg and I have been well for the last couple of months until last week when a combination of work and family issues pushed me over the edge once again, I had weekly psychologist visits for the first two months, Started today on 200mg daily.

I think zoloft works very well for me but my Trauma plays out in my dreams most nights,"


"This has helped me with my asthma ever since I was a little girl. I'm 19 now and until this day I use it! Whoever made this medication was thinking correctly. I appreciate it."


"I got on the depo shot from recommendations. I've been on it for almost 2 months and at 1st i loved it, but now it makes my 3rd week spotting badly one day brown and  one day blood!! I been vomiting everything I eat. Also its makin my sex life complicated I get tired for no reason and really moody"


"I had the liletta IUD inserted two months ago. Insertion was very painful but the experience took 5 mins altogether. The pain following didn't last longer than a day. So far, I've noticed my periods last a lot longer, before the IUD they would last 5 days now they last 8-10. I also spot almost every single day. Both of these things are manageable but if I wasn't single this would interfere with my sex life. Benefits: I don't get crazy mood swings like I used to on the pill and I don't have a lot of hair growth on my body it seems like my hair doesn't grow as fast. Cons:  I'm very frustrated this month because I've developed cystic acne along my left jaw and cheek and forehead and i can't lose weight whereas before I could"


"I am going on a 14 hour plane trip and wanted a sedative. I hate flying especially on LONG flights across the world . I got Ativan.  I took one (.5) before bedtime before I left home to see how it worked and how strong it was.  Sadly I got zip out of it.  I am super sensitive to meds.. I take an aspirin and I know in 5 minutes I am 'medicated'. SO I am majorly disappointed. Now I am even more anxious about my trip. ugh."


"I switched to this from Ortho Tri Lo almost a year ago.  I have had crazy mood swings. Seriously, I can be the happiest person in the world one minute, the next I can be super angry or super depressed.  My flow is real light but breakthrough bleeding in between periods have happened more often. "


"I am overjoyed with the effects of this drug. Starting two weeks after my Delzicol treatment began  I became completely symptom free of ulcerative colitis and have stayed that way for over two years."


"I was on birth control for severe acne. My skin did clear up significantly, but I experienced negative side effects. I gained ten pounds in the four weeks I was on the pill, and I also became very depressed. After speaking with my doctor, I stopped taking any form of birth control to let my hormones settle."


"I have found this to be better than ditropan and detrol. I can take it twice a day. It doesn't seem to give me the dry mouth that ditropan did."


"I feel like I'm starving ever since I been on the patch I feel nauseous everyday."


"My physician switch me from Norco 10_325 to Percocet 7.5)325. And it takes the pain away form my osteoarthritis. A lot better then the Norco. But that's my opinion and everyone reactions different. "


"I started taking cefdinir for a bad sore throat and sinus infection. It helped clear everything. No side effects until now. Headaches, light diarrhea, heartburn."


"Does not have the constipation side effect of nortriptyline, which is a plus if you ask me. With the help of my physician, I have looked for a miracle and the answer came with a combo of amitriptyline-topamax. It is not the ultimate cure (I still get an episode here and there, but hey I can take being sick once a month or month and a half), but in the meantime, no vomiting, no migraine, no "can-someone-hand-me-that-screwdriver" if you know what I mean. It worked for me, hope it helps someone else."


"Treats both the diarrhea and chronic pain that I have from Crohn's disease. Works great."


"I am 19 years old and I've been taking this medicine for about a year now. It is horrible. I have mood swings, I don't feel like myself, my acne is worse and I have a lowered sex drive. I decided to give it a fair try but am tired of feeling like this. My acne is now cystic and all over my chin and I'm left behind with red marks all over my face. My skin was never like this before taking this. The only reason I'm not giving it a 1 is because it prevented pregnancy like it's suppose to."


"Major side effects  included sexual and erectile dysfunction, Impotence,"


"I'm 16 and have been on Prozac for about 3 months and I must say that it's a great antidepressant. There are very few side effects for me including an upset stomach, feeling anxious, and few others which kept improving over time. This medicine really helped me to deal with my depression. Many symptoms like inability to maintain concentration, panic attack, losing control, brain fog, hopelessness, extreme negativism, fear of death improved within 2 weeks and kept improving onwards. I'm still on it and I just love it and I think it can help anyone with depression. With the pace of time, Prozac really helped me stay positive about everything. Sometimes I feel like I have already overcome my depression. It's really helpful."


"I've been taking Taytulla for 4 months now, and from day one it has been great for me. I never had any nausea, but I did notice that I was a little more emotional than usual during the first week or two that I started taking it, but after that everything was perfectly fine. My breasts did increase and size, and my period got much lighter to where I would only spot for one day. Now, I do not have a period at all which I love. In my opinion, this is a great birth control and I've recommended it to multiple people who ended up loving it as well. It is all based on your body, and how it reacts with the medication. I'm thankful it worked out great for me!"


"I have been taking Avodart for about a year now, it has improved my night urinating, but I really do not like the decreased sex drive and ability to achieve a full erection and decreased semen output."


"I was diagnosed three years ago with adult ADD (and I'm 46!). First was prescribed Adderall, but I found that even the slow-release capsule wore off quickly, leaving me exhausted and crashing at work, scarfing down cups of coffee. My doctor switched me by Vyvanse, and it's been much, much better. I am better able to focus, it lasts longer. However, it still doesn't get me through the whole day and I find I'm extremely tired at night. Also, sometimes I get caught up in the trivial details of both work and home projects. But on the whole, I am FAR better off since I began Vyvanse. I wish that 70mg was not the highest recommended amount, but I stick to it."


"I'm in my late 20's and tried it for ADHD...all I can say is that it really messed up my sleep. It also severely worsened my depression. It has a long half life. Benefits I did notice is that it seemed that my memory improved somewhat, for example could remember several songs playing in a row, also focus seemed improved. I'm considering adding trazodone in hopes of aboring its negative effect on sleep.  For anyone complaining about blood pressure side effects, lower your dose."


"Newly diagnosed after 7 years of excruciating pain, no energy and brain fog. So after my 2nd day taking this, I have high hopes. I am a little less stiffer in the morning and the rest of the day. Not pain free... yet. I have terrible hot flashes, but me and my fan can deal with that. I am very emotional in a good way. I feel happier than I have in a long time and while someone complained of decreased libido, I have had the opposite occur. My husband of 15 years is very pleased with this medications side effects! At this point I would probably just stay with it for how great it makes me feel emotionally. If it also helps the pain, energy and mental fog in the long run, then this would be a miracle for me and mine!"


"For the purpose of acne, this medicine helped me a lot! But within two months of starting it I gained 10 pounds. I exercise 4-5 times a week and eat well and hadn't made any changes that would cause weight gain. Nothing I did would get rid of the weight gained, especially around my hips and thighs. It took me a year to realize that this was the problem. I'm 17 now and did swimming in high school and usually lose at least 5- 10 pounds each season, but this year I stayed at a constant 140. Because of this I'm switching. I also got extreme nausea, if I didn't eat enough food before taking it, or if I took it more than 30 minutes after eating, I would get intense nausea, dry heave twice, and lose my appetite."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"So thankful for this website, it definitely eased my mind prior to the prep and procedure! Overall this experience was pretty easy and pain free. The Suprep was pretty gross (salty, grape flavor) and the 1st bottle is much easier going down then the 2nd. I did throw up with both, but managed to keep most of it down. It worked and worked quickly! Best advice I read was to eat lightly a couple days prior and it made things so much easier and tolerable. Kept plenty of fluids (Gatorade, ginger ale, apple juice) butterscotch candy and chicken broth. As far as procedure, I was beyond nervous and it was complete cake! Staff was great, explained step by step, gave me meds (completely sedated) and next thing I knew it was over and I was awake!"


"I got Nexplanon about 6 months ago and so far it has worked great for me. When I first got it I had a little bit of spotting, but after a while it went away and now I don't get anything at all. I haven't had any mood changes like some people have on the implant, and I have noticed no change in weight, in fact it has gone down a bit. Overall, I am very happy with it. I was a little worried before I got it because it seemed like a lot of people had issues with it, but I haven't experienced anything like that. I will say that I think that's because I had a very normal, manageable cycle with no hormonal problems before getting it, and I think that if you are someone who does have a lot of issues with your period/hormones it may not work well."


"Couldn't believe it could be true but it was. Newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I read about Mucinex for fibromyalgia; read that it is a muscle relaxant and enhances the analgesic effect of aspirin and Tylenol; and is enhanced by magnesium.  Went out and bought the 800 mg with 2 aspirin and some magnesium citrate, and it worked!  The pain just seems to dissolve away.  I continue to take 800mg (2, 400mg immediate release tablets) with aspirin and magnesium, three times a day, or 1200 mg twice a day. "


"I was rxed the ODT for extreme nausea and vomiting, due to a norovirus. The minty flavor really drove me over the edge, and only made matters worse. Then my doc gave me the regular tablets that you swallow with a tiny bit of water, but it didn't help at all, either. I remember being awed by the knowledge that they give this med to sick cancer patients, when it is so horribly ineffective.
  Evidently, it does work like gangbusters for some people, but I'm not one of them."


"I have had fibromyalgia for over 15 years.  When my muscles feel extremely "tight"``I definitely hurt more.  Thank God for Flexeril!  I take 10 mg before bed and this helps me to sleep and feel less muscle pain.  I tried to live without this medicine for 1 week and my pain level went up considerably and much more muscle spasms and tightness.  I do have a dry mouth especially after I wake up.  I do work night shifts as a nurse...this helps me to get better sleep in turn making me feel better after I get up. "


"I started out on 5 mg, 3 times day and am now at 10 mg 3-4 times a day. I've experienced no side effects. I do feel less anxiety (constant worry, easily irritated), but feel it come back about 5 hours later. It has taken the edge off of social anxiety but has taken about 2 months to get there. It is a mild anti anxiety med. It doesn't make you feel drugged or spaced out. It helps to give you the ability to stop the anxious thoughts but doesn't seem to do it all for you. I have ADD as well and take Wellbutrin along with Buspar. I have taken Lexapro and although it does wonders for anxiety it also caused me to feel a bit manic over time. Lexapro also wiped out my memory. I have a grandson now and I want to remember and be at my best for him."


"Fantastic! No bloating or weight gain!! Yippee!!! Hot flashes are gone, helped the first week, would have a few here and their but they were mild and by the second month- they are totally gone and sleeping so much better- the feeling of anxiety is gone- life grand again!

Immmmmm soooo happy!"


"In 1983, I had a T5-L3 spinal fusion because of scoliosis.  In 2007, I was hit by a drunk driver; after 10 months of rehab I was finally able to go back to work but in 2010 my back and neck pain started getting worse & worse until in April 2011 I could not work anymore.  After doing additional testing, we found that along with severe multi-level degenerative joint disease, 4 of the 10 fusion levels had been broken.  I am still awaiting surgery (insurance problems) and have been using fentanyl patches with Percocet for breakthrough pain for about 7 months.  It has worked very well until recently.  I have not had any severe itching like I did with other meds.  I do take Colace (stool softener) daily and occasionally laxatives."


"I experienced the same MAJOR discomfort as most about 2 hours after inserting the ovule. It was really uncomfortable for about 3 hours. I had to lay on my bed and basically not move for that time but after that the itching and burning subsided and I feel great now."


"I got my first Implanon (Nexplanon) in September 2011. At first, I had irregular spotting, no cramps or mood swings. After a few months the spotting slowed to a halt.  I got the Nexplanon replacement in 2014 and after a year, I have only had one spotting occurrence. This amazing! I am so unbelievably satisfied with this product that I cannot imagine the day I try to get pregnant and have to go without it."


"I have a very bad migraine since one year .. And i went through many medication and tried heaps of tablets but non of then work .. And then finally my GP PRESCRIBED me with MAXALT and guess what! As soon as i put it in my tounge i felt the sense of releif and after half n hour my pain is totally gone ...WHAT A GREAT FEELINGS .. Just amazing .."


"I had been on 5-ASAs (4g per os + 4g enema) for a while and could not improve my symptoms. Humira induced clinical remission almost immediately after the first loading dose (160 mg). I hope it stays this way!"


"This medication has changed my life. I was prescribed Adderall due to ADHD and chronic fatigue and it has greatly improved my quality of life in regards to both diagnosis. I am on a very small dose and have room to take more on particularly bad days, but 10mg on a regular, daily basis is the perfect amount for me."


"All that I can say is that it has done nothing but good for me"


"Pain stayed the same, sometimes even worse-sharp stinging pain that my gynecologist hasn't been able to figure out."


"Been on Celexa now for a month at 10mg daily.  So far so good. I feel a lot better and a lot more relaxed and calm. No panic attacks or anything like that. It's been great. Going to doctor in a couple weeks for follow up appointment. Going to see if I can start on 20mg. I feel that will even work better."


"My ankles and hands swelled up so badly while on Lyrica.  I also had a bad cough.  I gained 15 pounds on it, this all resolved after it was tot rated down."


"I am 19 years old and dealing with my first YI. I went to the doctor today thinking I had a UTI and when the screening came up negative they had to open me up and check for STD's and a YI (traumatic). I discovered that I had a YI and had been experiencing symptoms for a week. I was laying in bed and around 11 i decided to  get monistat. I went home and by 11:20 I inserted the bead. I then went to bed and began to read reviews. I saw that most of the users of this product had terrible burning that would bring them to tears. I was  freaked out bc i have very sensitive skin and was bracing myself for the awful experience. I woke up in the morning and had no burning, no swelling, and no side effects. maybe I am lucky but this worked 4 me"


"Absolutely amazing! I was out after two seconds and woke up to a nice pleasant feeling that lingered for about 15 minutes. The dizziness lingered throughout the day so listen when they say not to drive for up to 12 hours. I was able to drive with no problem after about 10 hours.

Great anesthesia!"


"Serious reaction to this - vomiting and itchy skin."


"I'm a full-time athlete, never really struggled with acne but wanted to experience a birth control as my periods were irregular which disrupted my trainings and travel. I've never really suffered from acne in my life but the first month being on Yaz I had experienced the most pimples I've ever had. Now I'm left with scars. Now onto my second month I am seeing slow improvement, still getting a few pimples. I have put on 2kg which I'm not completely sure if it's been this pill or that I have increased my weights by a great margin..My boobs have also seen a significant increase in size.In the last month I have experienced,migraines,headaches,nausea. Not sure how this pill is going to play out but if no improvement is seen after 3 mnths im out"


"Restasis works for my sjogrens dry eye, however, the new multi dose bottle does not last 30 days!  I barely got 20 days out of it.  I called the company and was given a one time new bottle at no charge.  I am trying it again, however, I continually have problems getting a consistent dose from the bottle.  This is a horrible design and needs improvement.  the 1/10 rating is for the design of the multi dose restasis bottle, not the vials or the medication itself."

"Does what it's supposed to do, but don't stop taking it cold turkey. You definitely need to ween yourself off if you've been taking it for awhile."


"I love this pill. I give it a 7 tho because I ALWAYS feel so damn weak. I feel like I am getting the flu 24/7."


"I have to admit it was kind of hilarious and daunting at the same time when I read the reviews on this site- I had just taken 2 pills, and after reading about all the suffering that everyone (or most people) had endured, I was afraid the same was going to happen to me. But in fact, I had the complete opposite experience- absolutely no change whatsoever! The pills didn't work- took them at 7pm the day before, farted a lot since then, but woke up next morning with no effect and still constipated. God only knows what the issue is... Anyway, I'm giving it a 1 rating because it was ineffective as opposed to too effective, although I may be one in a million"


"Started taking Cipro for UTI two days ago, 2 x 500mg per day.  Side effects include headache that won't go away. Tingling, burning sensation, - couldn't sleep 2nd night and had to take a PM tylenol for headache and sleep. It worked.  I have call into Dr. for next steps."


"I got it  a year ago today and for almost a month I was spotting/bleeding after the insertion. Than I didn't bleed for months, Which was awesome! No weight gain or any crazy side affects at all! I did randomly spot months later .. But than no bleeding again!  . But December I got a period for about 2 weeks .. Then two days ago I'm bleeding again( like not even 2 weeks after my December bleeding )  .. Is this normal ?? will it stop??"


"Stopped my period after the first pack and then after a month after not taking anything. Never experienced that with other birth control pills. Not going to take them again. The doctor no nothing about the pills they prescribed. Disappointed."


"On day 6, I noticed a little more room in my belt and decided to weigh a day early - 194.5lbs down to 187lbs. I've lost 55 pounds from my tubbiest in 2003 (about 20 of that was water weight when I got my pacemaker replaced) but hit a plateau around 195lbs for the last 6 months. My goal is 170lbs by year end. My trepidation about being a guinea pig for a new medicine is more than balanced by the ease and amount of the result. I'm expecting further improvement in backache and joint pain as my weight continues to drop.
Now on day 14 at 184 pounds, I've lost 10 pounds, twice my stretch goal, and feel great.  This is too easy!"


"I smoked for more than forty years. I try every thing on the market to stop smoking. Finally my doctor prescribed Chantix. I took Chantix and set a date to quick. After two weeks of taking Chantix, I was free of smoking and have not smoked for almost six years."


"Knocked out my headache very quickly.  I did have a few side effects such as stiff neck and overall quesyness and heartburn.  The side affects didn't last more than an hour or so, but the headache was gone and I was happy.  As with any medication I will try and "ride out" the headache to avoid taking medication, but I will keep this one around."


"I was first prescribed Lyrica to replace Remeron and my Psych Dr started me on 150mg at night.  After four days I had an epileptic seizure at around 5pm.  I am a diabetic T1 and have had 5 seizures when hypoglycaemic, this time I was low but not low enough to cause the seizure.  Clearly, I stopped the Lyrica over a 3 week period.  My new Psych suggest taking it again but at 50mg 2x a day then 75mg 2x a day - all ok up to increasing the dosage to 75mg 3x a day for GAD.  about 10 days after increasing the dosage I was much less subject to GAD but my ulnar nerve function in my left hand basically stopped sending and receiving sensor and motor signals past my elbow.  My Neurologist did an EMG test of the hand and my little finger had lost 80% "


"lOVE IT- IT REALLY HAS CHANGED MY LIFE."


"ZALDIAR- 37.5 mg tramadol/ 325mg paracetamol -tablets were prescribed to me every 4-6 hours for chronic pain following a severe leg infection and ulceration that wouldn't heal. I tried other over the counter pills including paracetamol, but couldn't sleep at night or concentrate on anything with the pain. ZALDIAR has been great - provided you don't forget to take it. If you do the pain comes back very quickly. Side effects so far - very dry, horrible tasting mouth, loss of appetite (a good thing) and feel a little confused at times and forgetful (maybe that's just age) and a little nausea. Feel so much better now pain is under control - thanks to those who invented tramadol."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago and have watched in horror as the pain has increased each year. I have tried antidepressants with no help. I have tried NSAIDS with no help, including prescription. All of them.  I have tried Vicodin with limited help. Cymbalta helped a little, but made me gain weight. I am currently reconsidering it. As for Lyrica, I started this about 6 months ago and for the first 2 months it was a MIRACLE; however, it was short lived. Once my body gets used to taking a medication, the benefits begin to decrease, eventually dwindling to nothing. Lyrica has been no exception. As for side effects, have weight gain."


"I have been taking this pill for 3 months and it has been great so far. My periods are lighter and I hardly have any cramping, when before they were horrible. (Really!) It has made me less moody during my periods, which my boyfriend finds amazing and it has also made the sex better in our relationship. Besides the slight weight gain, this pill has been exceptionally good to me and will continue to take it."


"I am using this medicine since June 2015 and it's really helped to clear my face, this medicine has been the last choice after using many other solutions for acne but none of them solved my problem . I was afraid to take Accutane  because of  it's side effects but it dose worth to take it ."


"First timer here.  Like a comment above, I'm 54 and doing this for the first time.  My anticipation (and fear) about this was completely unfounded.  I expected a most vile drink and explosive diarrhea for hours.  Got my slices of lime (suggested somewhere to get the taste out of my mouth), flushable baby wipes, and charged my cell phone to have something to do).  The taste was bad, but so is taking shots of Tequila!  Drank the other two 16 oz glasses of water within 10 minutes.  In about 20 minutes, it started.  I was only on the toilet for about 45 minutes and went back every 20 minutes.  It was pretty much over in 2 1/2 hours.  And, unlike being really sick, it wasn't that bad.  Round two was less of an event!"

"I started this medicine almost 2 weeks ago. I don't feel as depressed but I feel most days that I'm walking around with my head in a fog. Some stomach issues but nothing major(mostly gas). I will give it a few more weeks but after reading some of the people's comments may stay at 20mg until I see my doctor again."


"I'm 22 and thought this would help with my OAB. Instead it made me insanely nauseous and I couldn't stop throwing up. Really disappointed, I'm sure it works differently for everyone."


"I've been suffering from 24/7 muscle pain (chronic upper body tension, spasms, muscle pain, headaches, etc.) everyday for 8 years.  I started Lyrica 3 weeks ago at 50 mg 2x a day.  Other than a little fuzzy fibro brain, which is not uncommon for me, I've had no major side effects at all.  I bumped it up to 50 mg in the a.m.  At the 2 week mark, I wasn't feeling much better, so I bumped the dose another 25 mg a day in the a.m. for a total of 75 mg a day.  Oh my God ... I haven't felt this good in years!!  it's been about a week now, and I don't want to jinx it, but, honestly, Lyrica is life-changing for me ... and I haven't gained a single pound!"


"When it works, it works well with no next day grogginess.  I am a long time user, beginning in 2001.  I have pretty much stopped, after using it every night for 9 years.  I have tried Lunesta and I sleep two hours even with double dose.  Rozerem had no effect.  I may be trying Seroquel next.  I had night-time events with no memory of them. I typically had one event every few months, but some were potentially deadly.  Yes, I too cooked all the time with no memory of it.  I would wake up and crack eggs in the sink and food on the table.  I also (VERY IMPORTANT), would go on line, send e mail that was highly damaging and/or embarrassing and have no memory of doing it until I got responses. ALSO NIGHT DRIVING WITH NO MEMORY of the event."


"I'm on my second week. I have had a headache for the first week and there is times my heart speeds up. I'm now doing 1 in morning and 1 night this was my first night and I couldn't stay asleep and don't feel rested and I'm sleepy but can't sleep. Not sure how I feel about this. I have a Co worker on it to and when she got to a full month she was unable to pee had to revive meds and she is back to 1 pill a day.."


"Aside from a slight decrease in circulation, cold feet/hands occasionally... Propranolol has significantly enhanced my quality of life."


"I was an opiate addict for 24 years been clean for a year. I have always had trouble with constipation. I was taking OTC stool softeners when I'd go 4 or 5 days without going. I would be in so much pain I would literally put a glove  on with vaseline and DIG it out. Movantik has been a lifesaver I take 1 every night have coffee in morning and go. Little cramping first couple days but no withdrawals or nausea. I have lost 14 pounds in a month as well. Very happy."


"I suffer from paresthesia in both arms, sciatica and anxiety/PTSD. I am currently taking 1500mg gabapentin/day. Results have been amazing. Numbness and tingling in arms reduced by 70%, sciatica pain gone and as a bonus, the sedating effects are incredibly effective for my anxiety. Also has improved the quality and quantity of my sleep. The biggest side effect which if gets worst I will discontinue gabapentin is the weight gain. I gained 15 pounds in 8 weeks. Slight blurry vision. Great medicine overall with some mitigating side effects."


"This was the most terrible thing I've ever had to try and drink. It made me very nauseous. I violently vomited up the whole first bottle mixed with water after trying very hard to drink it. After that, every time I would try and take a swallow I would throw up. Luckily the on call MD gave me an anti-emetic for nausea and another prep called Prepopik. It was the best and tasted like Tang. Worked like a charm. I will never ever try Suprep again. It tasted like a horrible cough syrup. Just could not keep it down no matter how hard I tried."


"I've been on Junel Fe 24 going on 3 months and I can't wait to go off of it. I have very painful periods and I wanted to go back on birth control after being off for 2 years (previously on Lo Loestrin and it was great). My first couple weeks taking it I was nauseous on and off. I had my first period during the iron pills like I should, but then I had it again 2 weeks later for over a week. During my periods I  had a few days of cramping but not as bad as I had before (the only good part). I'm 24 yo and my sex drive is nonexistent, that's the main reason I need to switch. I'm also get very sad and emotional over nothing. I tried to give it a chance and tough it out hoping it would get better but it's not. I'm switching asap."


"I started taking Effexor following an unexpected divorce that left me feeling a significant grief and anxiety for my children's future. I never had suicidal thoughts before, during or after taking this drug.  I took it for 2 years and I don't know if it helped me, or if it was the meditation (Qigong)  or acceptance and reflection.

Some side effects included increased libido, occasional little spasms of the diaphragm muscle (at the base of the lungs), and strange and vivid dreams.  Missing only one dose sent me into what is known as "brain zaps", and feels just like electrical zaps in the brain, together with sensory dissociation. This is the main reason I was afraid to stop taking it."


"63 yr old woman, early onset Alzheimer's diagnosed July 2013. Prescribed Aricept 5 mg and Namenda. Found Namenda made me agitated and angry so quit. 10 mg Aricept and serious side effects. While waiting for new doctor to take over past neurologist's care, have adjusted meds myself to keep the memory help - which is astounding - and lessens side effects which includes severe muscle cramps in legs, water retention, ankle and hand swelling, back pain,  increased blood pressure, heart palpitations. I now take 1/2 of the 5 mg tablet in morning and am still retaining benefits with reduced side effects. Aricept restored my ability to read and gave me energy and focus I have not had in 3 years. Lower dose on most meds always works better for me."


"Effective prevention of seizures, but I only had two episodes 16 months apart started at age 57.  Started at 25mg twice a day, increased to 50mg.  Was prescribed to go up to 100mg but requested to stay on the 50mg as I had no episodes and didn't like the effect it had on me.  I am now used to it but it makes me drowsy.
Big downside is I have just found out that I have osteoporosis and it appears that zonegran is contributing to accelerated leeching of my bones.  Will be discussing with neurologist in a couple of weeks."


"I tried taking Seroquel when I was a teenager. Everytime I took it it would knock me out & I would sleep the whole day away. Needless to say, I wasn't on it for very long."

"Update from my comments in July 11.  I have since been bumped up to 10 mcg and it seems to be handling the pain very well.  I am starting to experience the patch seems to lose strength at about day 5 (that is why the Doc) bumped me up to 10 mcg.  Might have to pay another visit to see about 20 mcg.  Have most of the same symptoms as everyone else...extreme itching at sites, etc.  BUT, I am still very pleased with the results of the patch as opposed to taking multiple pills."


"I will never  take that drug again after 5 days i turned  into someone  i didnt know  i hated everything and everyone i wanted  to die forget it"


"I have suffered nearly every side effect possible from Jolessa. I am 23 and my acne is now worse than it was during high school, and that is with daily acne medication! I have some days with no appetite, and other days where I throw up every time I eat. I have light to heavy bleeding every day, and cramping at least every few days. I also have really bad vaginal pain and itching. If having your period 4 times a year apparently doesn't harm your body, I don't know how this is supposed to be normal. Switching as soon as possible."


"I have been on Alesse for 6 years now and I have never had any issues. No cramping, no acne, no weight gain. I highly recommend this birth control.

24 yr old"


"I would give this medicine 20 stars if I could. Finally a time release version of hydrocodone without any acetaminophen. I have been taking Norco 10/325 for a little over a year and it was starting to have little to no effect for my chronic back pain. I was always in constant fear about getting jumped up to oxycodone due to the Norcos not working anymore but then Zohydro comes along and changes the game! No side effects whatsoever for me and I'm getting a good 12 hrs of pain relief per dose! Another positive note is that I'm only taking 2 pills per day rather than taking 4-5 Norcos, and with the absence of acetaminophen I don't have to worry about damage to my liver anymore. THANK YOU ZO-HYDRO!"


"Took them a week before a 10 day trip to Ghana and continued the 4 weeks after.
Noticed a slight dizzy feeling but more like a mellow buzz as If I've had a gin & tonic the day after which seemed to come and stay a few days after the weekly dose.
Did not notice anything else and the other side effects I have had with Malarone and Doxycyline (Fatigue, headaches and slight nausea) were not present at all.

No strange dreams of vertigo as may others have described."


"I used to take Flexeril for back pain until I found a doctor who thinks outside the box. He prescribed this to me and it's been wonderful! No bad side effects, a little tiredness in the beginning, but other then that nothing. Takes the spasms away. Almost a miracle drug for me! I take 500 mg 3x a day."


"When my UC symptoms are flaring up a lot it does nothing. When I'm on it after a flare up it still does nothing and I still flare up."


"Very nice"


"I agree with all reviews of people saying that it made the problem worse!!! Had not even read reviews when i decided to look up symptoms and sure enough it is a true statement that it makes the problem WORSE!  One of the symptoms is also leg and thigh pain and that has almost gone away.  Only happened at night while sleeping!! ALSO and more importantly rose my blood pressure on 25 mgs. once a day.  Certainly had no quality of life! Expensive, but i truly thought it would solve the problem.  VERY ineffective drug with severe side effects!!!!!!!!!"


"I do have to sleep after taking the regular one but it works the best."


"I had a period every week for 4 months and at first tried Tri-Nessa and that did nothing. A friend recommended Nora-Be and I am so glad she did. I have irregular bleeding once a month now and it's so much better. No cramps and no pain. Love it!"


"I was on Paxil which killed my sex drive. My sex drive on Wellbutrin is insane. My husband is a very happy man."


"I have been on it for a little over 1 year and feel it has worked wonders for me."


"I've been on Zoloft since I was 21 and I'm now 31. One day I woke up with intense crying, depression, anxiety , fear of family and friends dying and self harm . My personality is one of a very happy go lucky girl and I refused to live with this nightmare. So my doctor put me on 50mg Zoloft. It took about a month for it to work and I had the tiredness, yawning , feeling completely out of it , to waking up and feeling amazing . I have tried to come off Zoloft throughout the years and man the side affects suck ! Intense anxiety, feels like your brain is exploding and vertigo. If you do decide to come off make sure you're under the supervision of your doctor. To this day zoloft has helped me and I will be on this for the rest of my life."


"I have taken Ambien (10mg) on several occasions for short periods of time and it worked just fine (knocked me out in 20min and gave me 5 to 6 hours of sleep). But, my doctor recently added Ambien CR to my nightly cocktail and it has not worked like the doctor or the website said it would. I have been taking it for a week. I expected it to knock me out and keep me asleep. I have done everything like I have been told to do and have been taking it before bed and all it has been doing is taking 3 to 4 hours to knock me out and makes me totally loopy in the morning. The effect is basically lengthened and delayed. I am hoping to switch back to original Ambien  formula when I see the doctor next month!"


"My problem with this birth control is the side effects. I have times when I get depressed, I had mood swings, felt like throwing up and even when I didn't even eat I gained about 15lbs. Oh yea and worse of all it made me bleed alot. I don't mean heavy bleeding. I mean it made my periods longer than before when I was taking it. I read a lot of reviews saying the same thing but tried it anyway.  The worst was I had a period that last a whole month one time. My doctor put me on seasonique to see it that would help better"


"This is my third diverticulitis event in 9 years, and each time I have been treated with Cipro and Flagyl, but I do not remember feeling so awful the first two times, nor do I remember the horrifically bad taste of the metronidazole (flagyl.) I can hardly get it down and after I do the horrible taste in my mouth is beyond description. I have resorted to immediately grabbing a lollipop to coat my mouth and pharynx with the sweet sugary taste, which actually does help. On top of that I am nauseated, dizzy, have a foggy brain, and nothing tastes normal or good, not even water. I am thankful for the improvement in the abdominal pain, as that shows that the horrid stuff is working, but dang, can't they put it in a capsule?"


"I got put on Taytulla because my body is sensitive to hormones. I’ve always had problems being on birth control with bad mood swings and depression. My doctor recommend this to me because it’s a low dose.  I’m on my 3rd pack right now the first month I broke out on my face really bad but it cleared up on the second pack! It completely stopped my period I have no PMS symptoms at all! I take my pill everyday at the same time I took a test just to make sure I’m not pregnant! I did gain a few pounds nothing too major Other than that I love this birth control!"


"I had results taking phentermine; I immediately had energy and felt like my old self again, as I had been recuperating from a joint replacement and had put on nearly 25 lbs!  The weight came off slowly, about 2-3 lbs a week at first. By the 5th-6th week, I noticed I had lost 12 pounds. I'm now into my 8th week and have lost a total of 17 lbs. I really feel phentermine boosted my metabolism, which has always been slow, as well, as I have not been able to do much exercising due to the surgery. Hopefully I can continue taking phentermine so I can reach my goal to lose 30 lbs."


"Medication did not keep me asleep. No trouble falling asleep, but awoke only a few hours later. Extreme exacerbation of depression occurred. Loss of appetite, loss of taste, olfactory hallucinations ( the smell of burning cigars?), occurred no explanation given. Only used the drug 2 nights but these experiences frightened me I will not use again."


"I got this a week ago from my doctor, I've been having severe back pain and shooting pain. In the past I've tried everything pain killers, lido patches, steroid injections, physical therapy. I put on 2 grams of the gel and the agonizing ache that I've had was gone in no more than 30 seconds. I still get the shooting pain but that's a nerve issue. I really, really love this gel."


"It helped lower my pressure but made my eyes persistently red."


"I took 30 mg Tremazepam every night for several years. It really worked for me. I had a long history of sleeping only a few hours then waking up and not falling back to sleep. This drug put me pleasantly to sleep, and I would sleep 7-9 hours.  Sometimes I was groggy in the morning for a while.  Then my MD took me off the medication because if is meant for only a short time use. I was able to get off with no withdrawal in three weeks.  Now, I am back to waking up after several hours sleep and staying awake for several hours before falling back to sleep.   I limit my use of this drug to twice a week now. It still works, but I won't take it every night.  I don't think my MD will write another RX for it, so I'm rationing what I have left"


"Worked well for GERD but could not continue to take it.  After about a week .. I got diarrhea what would not stop.  Even had a few accidents upon sneezing.  Other PPI's did not do this ... and cost much less.   No thank you."


"I started taking oxazepam 15 mg at bedtime as needed for anxiety in December. It has really helped me and I have not experienced any side effects at all. It calms you down, you're able to function daily, and also get a good nights sleep."


"Worked well for me. Took it at around 11:30pm, first thing in the morning it cleared my constipation. "


"It came out"


"I take generic Cymbalta and have for 2 years. One day it just sucked, I was like really down, depressed and living like a hermit. I have been taking 10 milligrams of Abilify on top of the cymbalta 60 milligrams and so far I actually feel normal for the first time in my life. I am now smiling and going out , looking forward to fresh air and conversation again. Thank you Abilify, I am now getting back to life."


"I have been on Cymbalta 30mg for just under 2 weeks. After the first 3 days I started feeling a lot better. It was slightly scary actually to go from feeling like your world is imploding to feeling like you want to smell and see every flower on the planet. It happened so fast. Yes there were a lot of initial side effects from getting used to the medicine. I had the shakes, weird slowing down, odd feelings, nausea, etc. but I am doing very well on it. I went on diet again having gained 25kg from being in Lexapro and Seroquel for over a 18 months. But I now have a low dose of Seroquel every night and Cymbalta every morning and I am back to feeling great. "


"Excess facial hair has always been a problem for me as well as abnormally heavy periods. For the first time in my life I don't have to worry about waking up with dark hairs sprouting out of my chin... three months ago, before taking this pill, I was plucking / waxing every day, and now my upper lip and chin hair has been reduced by 90%.

I am 30 years old.

Anyone else have this experience? OC's are not a common treatment for excess hair and I'm wondering why, because this has been a life changing experience for me. I don't think I am imagining things. I went from plucking at least once a day to a couple of times a week.

Thanks for reading."

"I'm 35, mom of 2. I had acne as a teen, and accutane cleared it up. Then didn't have any issues with acne in my 20's. It progressively worse after I had my second child. Spiro didn't help. I finally decided to get back on BC to see if that would. I started taking beyaz 3 weeks ago. I noticed my skin was less oily the 1st week. 2nd week I noticed there were no new pimples (where there would usually a new one or more daily!), and now in the 3rd week, my skin is glowing. Like, actually, pretty. It's not been this clear in years. I've not had any of the typical side effects so far (no nausea, weight gain, or reduced sex drive). So far I love it! Give this a try if you're struggling with adult acne!"


"I am so happy that I got this! I was nervous and first and had a list of questions for my doctor. They numbed my arm and it burned for maybe 5 seconds. Insertion of the actual Implanon was completely painless. I never got the bruise that the doctor warned me about and that I have read is normal. No pain other than the first couple days and no spotting. I had it put in the week after my period and I haven't had one since. No cramping or PMS either! I had a couple of headaches for the first day or so. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can't remember to take a pill everyday!"


"All I have to say is Wow! this is like taking Red Bull as an anti-depressant. So far so good, I just hope this feeling lasts and side effects do not kick in."


"I have been taking the general medication not the brand name for about 3 months now and after a couple of weeks I would be in a good mood and the little things that would annoy me wouldn't anymore. I wanted to do things and not just be home all the time. But recently I have relapsed and went up on my dose from 300mg to 450mg and still feel depressed. I don't know if my body is just tolerating it or what but I hope my depression improves."


"I have been on the 7.5 for 2 weeks now and have found it really doesn't control my hunger pangs. :("


"I have been using B-12 inject for close to twenty years. I suffer from thyroid problems and am currently treaded with pills. I  also have goiter,  fibromyaliga, RHA, osteo being tested for kupus (which is almost a yes for sure) panic disorder chronic. and several other minor thing. My body is in daily pain. I use 1500 cc of b12. this aides in pain relief. as well as mood enhancer also puts u down when ur too highly strung. It also keeps ur skin so pretty. I go weeks when sometimes I forget to take it and  my body to screams  "please get me  the b12." it seems to run ur nervous system. and pain. I take this to ease some parts of pain for what it works on. When the weather is nice 1000 cc a month. it seems to be keeping me normal. love it...."


"Took a while for it to start treating my depression, about 3 months to start feeling even remotely better and 6 months to a year to feel the full effects. At first, the medicine made me yawn a lot and almost made me feel more depressed (probably because it didn't start working as immediately as I had hoped). Gradually went up from 20mg to 30mg after 6 months and then went up to 40mg after about a year. I have now been on Celexa for 2 years and on the 40mg dose for about 1 year. This medication has honestly saved my life! I probably wouldn't be here without it. Before Celexa, most of my days were bad days and now I am finally enjoying my life again. I highly recommend Celexa. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't start working right away."


"I've been taking this for one week so far, it has no effect on my appetite. In fact I feel like I am MORE hungry"


"I could not be without Pro-Air. I take it with me everywhere I go, it works very fast and is a lot less expensive than my other inhalers."


"Norco is 100% the worst pain medicine out there. Did not reduce my pain the slightest and made me so nauseous. This stuff should not be legal."


"I've been taking this for almost a year and have had absolutely no issues. No acne, no nausea, no weight gain, no mood swings. Works for me"


"I have been on Prozac over many years. It has helped me with major depression, social anxiety, eating disorder... I would not want to live without it ever again."


"It has been three weeks and I am down 8 pounds. I wish I knew about Belviq sooner. I feel better overall and my attitude towards food has changed. I eat much smaller portions because I feel full very quickly. I can't wait to continue this journey!"


"1st Botox shots 11/2015. Wasn't able to get another tx until 10 days ago. The 1st time it was great! Migraines down to about 2/mo. Loved it! This time the day after I woke w/back of neck very painful. Worse was pain in the back of head. Felt like hit w/a 2x4. Very bad headache too. It was horrible. I get pain med for other issues & it did nothing. Head swolIen, tight glasses. Some pain in my L shoulder down arm. It asted 5 days, in bed w/heating pad. 7th day worst pain gone but need hand under chin or on back of head to control head movement due to weak neck. Don't wake w/neck pain, but it starts after moving a bit. If I'm on my feet, dizzy. Weak jaws when eating or drinking. Head turns only 2" to L or R side. Weak upper arms. Never again."


"I've had Skyla for 5 months now. Insertion was nowhere near as painful as I expected, just felt like a sharp cramp. However, bad cramping started the next day and did not stop until I got my period a month later. My first two periods were very painful, but after that very manageable. I never experience random cramping and very rarely experience random light bleeding. I can't feel it at all and notice no hormonal changes to my body which is rare for me, as I am very sensitive to hormones. I had to come off the pill because I was constantly emotional, tired & nauseous. I haven't gained any weight with Skyla either. I feel much more in control of my life with this IUD and would recommend it to anyone willing to stick the 1st month cramps out."


"It cleared up my plaques but the injections are a bit painful and it did nothing for the guttate psoriasis."


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


"Hi I just got the highest dose of Botox in my bladder 6 days ago it hasn't started working yet! Can anyone say how long till they felt better? I have severe over active bladder no meds worked and I'm so desperate. I'm 38"


"Had bronchitis for maybe 2 weeks. At first I thought it was a cold or maybe an allergy. My temp started to move up to 99.6, and then 100+ and finally like 101.7. But the cough was the worst. The weirdest cough I ever had, deep, loud coughs and I'd cough for like 30sec+ or cough and sneeze at the same time. Could not lie down at all or I'd begin coughing (but I'd cough anyway). The doc prescribed Z-pak. About 4 hours after I took it, I could tell the symptoms improving. My temp improved, the cough subsided, too. This is my second day. For me there are no side effects."


"I had an unexpected medical issue and was initially prescribed Buspirone to help deal with the ensuing depression. It took so long to kick in that all the other medicines I was taking made me suicidal. I talked to my doc who recommended a relatively new antidepressant called Pristiq. From the moment I started taking it my life changed for the better, no more suicidal thoughts, my days returned to normal. I took it for six months until I felt I no longer needed it. I reduced my dosage as directed and weaned myself off it. There were a few brain zaps as the dosage decreased, but once I understood what was going on everything was fine. The only downside I can think of was a decreased sexual drive, but with a great partner we worked our way through It."


"So much horrible information in the comment section, my god, no wonder everyone is a mess! First off, Suboxone should NOT be used LONG TERM, thats just wasted money in Big Pharmas pocket. Secondly, normal opiate withdrawls (PAWS) is only 3 to 7 days (I've never had more than 4), medicine like oxycodone has a SUPER SHORT half life and is out of your body quickly. The issue is that you brain needs time to rebalance itself so you become hypersensitive with the flood of chemicals as they try to even out. Suboxone has a 36hr half life give or take so a day after you take it plus some added time, its still in your system. Suboxone should be taken for 4 or 5 days tops, that will have it in your system up to the 7 day point. Thats all you need."


"I had a robotic radical prostatectomy four and a half years ago.  I started off with Cialis and Viagra therapy which helped me regain erections, but I had noticed some shrinkage as a result of the surgery and recovery, possibly.  My ED urologist gave me some samples of Stendra when it became available, and I found that it not only works faster, as fast as 6 minutes, but it gives me an erection that is perhaps as large as when I was younger."


"Definitely recommend Retin-A Tretinoin cream for aging skin, firstly recommend to use low-tretinoin consistency 0.025% and after go deeper with 0.05% and 0.1% creams and gels. My skin became more youthful, without pigmentation, brighter, wrinkles and fine lines became less visible and its only within first 2 months of usage, i'm pretty impressed!

Thanks okdermo.com!

Will use it all my life, would recommend it to everyone who have signs of aging, wrinkles, color fading, discoloration etc problems.

Angela"


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about a month and a half. I started with 200mg/day for the first month and my doctor just raised it to 300mg/day. The only good thing I can say is that it's completely killed my appetite which I don't mind because I needed to lose weight anyway. I've experienced the heightened senses that I've read about. I'm also having problems sleeping. So far, there has only been one day where I felt truly happy. The rest of the time I'm either at the same hopeless and depressed point I was at before I started taking the pills or I'm somewhere in between completely hopeless and just mediocre.  I'll give it a little while longer because I know these things take time, but so far it's useless as far as helping me with my depression."


"I Took just one tablet, i was rushed to hospital I could not even pick my hand up. Sadly someone gave me a 2nd dose in hospital the next day, 20 mins later I went into.. ANAPHYLAXIS SHOCK .. I had 8 Drs round my bed doing so many things. Thank GOD for those  8 Drs ACTING so FAST. Had I not been in hospital that day. I would not be here now to tell my Story. I was told is was a very close call even though I was in hospital.

This was a truly Terrifying thing to happen. I am now so scared to take any antibiotic.

"I  have Peroneus Brevis Tendonitits and was prescribed Voltarin for 21 days, 4 times per day, with icing.  I felt minimal improvement for the first ten days, then nothing further.  A month after starting the treatment, my foot is in no better condition than it was when I started."


"I have severe Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) and insomnia.  Belsomra does not help me with sleep onset. I get maybe 4 hours light sleep when I use 20 mg."


"I  had chronic severe migraines almost daily for 25 years.  Some things have sort of worked; most not.  Botox  made an enormous difference in my headaches.  I have been using Migranal for breakthrough headaches and life is very much better. This year, Migranal, nor its generic (which are made by the same company??), are covered under my insurance.  I have Medicare, and I receive Social Security Disability.  The generic cost is more than my whole SSD check.  MY neurologist and pharmacists are out of suggestions.  They say maybe I can ask for Patient Assistance Coverage, which almost always is only given to people who already have some kind of drug coverage. Or maybe the doctor can give me samples.  I am horrified."


"My 7 year old daughter is severe ADHD.  Prior to Dyanavel XR, our best experience was with 30 mg of adderall XR.  But that had a profound effect on her appetite and ability to interact with other people.  We tried concerta which left her very defiant, Focalin and Vyvance were completely ineffective.  We tried Dyanavel for the first time one months ago.  I can't believe the difference.  She has an appetite, she socializes, she has a personality, she stays in her seat at school and actually works in her assignments.  After 4 days on this medication, her teacher called me and asked what had changed because she couldn't believe the difference. The only downfall is nighttime.  She consistently wakes up around 4-5 am with dreams."


"Lyrica made my fibromyagia symptoms worse. All it did was make me gain excessive amonts of weight (over 80lbs in 6 months) and it caused more stress on my joints and symptoms then not taking anything at all for it. I hated it and recommend doing the vitamin regimen and looking up as much as you can online and sharing the websites you find with your doctor."


"I love it because it helped with my acne and I used to get real bad cramps and heavy bleeding up to five days, but after three months on this pill I didn't mind being on my period. "


"I have been on Oxycontin since 2003 on a daily basis.  I have chronic abdominal discomfort because I had my large intestine removed due to chronic Ulcerative Colitis.  I also have had Degenerative Disc Disease  since 1998. I've had to have my right hip replaced due to an injury in 2008 and I have chronic sciatic nerve pain in my left hip that runs down to my foot. I found this drug to be more effective than any rehabilitation or needle injection that I've ever had. I have tried many different treatments like injections and physical rehab but I get the best pain relief from taking 3 - 60mg. Oxycontin every 8 hours and 10 mg. Oxycodone IR pills every 4 to 6 hours daily for increased pain and discomfort. The bad part is I lost most of my teeth."


"I've had nexplanon inserted 8.4.2013 and apart from bleeding for a month straight to start with it's been okay. I Just like the fact I know I'm always safe from getting pregnant. However over the 3 years sometimes I will come on my period like normal then other times I won't have a period for 4 months it's very hit and miss. At the moment I've been on my period for 2 months straight with 2days off in between. I am thinking about having it taken out now as my period just doesn't seem to be going away. I didn't gain any weight or have any other side affects.

Anyone wondering I'm 21 years old"


"I went psycho while on this medication. Ended up in a mental hospital. I couldn't control myself!"


"I was super terrified to try yasmin, but I wanted to try it for my hormonal acne. Yasmin has really helped (so far), my face has been gradually clearing up during the past 3 weeks and my painful cysts are flattening. My skin is whiter too - less red and blotchy. So happy about that!  I lost about 5 kilos in 3 days. I wore one pair of pants one day that were tight and had to change them at the end of the day because my thighs and stomach had so noticeably shrunk. It was like I took some kind of shrinking potion! I kept my chest though :)   I love yasmin so far. I have more energy, less hair fall, better skin, no emotional flairs, and it's helped with the insomnia that I got after my friend died. I sleep like a baby now. I was slightly nauseous for the first 2 days."


"I originally started taking Yaz for birth control, but instantly noticed that my face cleared up.  Yaz works wonders for acne, and I highly recommend it.  However, it made my emotions go crazy.  I became very anxious.  I was on it for a year and then decided to get off of it.  My anxiety decreased but acne slowly came back.  Now I am going to try it again for acne and hope that I can cope with the anxiety from it.  I'm out of school now so I'm hoping this makes it easier to cope with the side effects.  Also, I did not gain any weight, and my boobs grew a full size.  It's a myth that birth control causes weight gain, it only causes increase in appetite or causes you to crave a certain food (i.e. sugar) which in turn causes you to gain weight"


"OMG I starting using the product about 6 months ago, and I didn't have awful acne, but pretty ugly patches on my cheeks and my lip line. For the first 2 months I followed the directions, but after that I started putting it on at night, in the morning, and before I went out. When I put it on and it dries, it immediately dulls acne scars and small zits that come up every once and a while. My acne scars went away and I have no blemishes and haven't for 2 months and my skin never cracks any more. BE PERSISTANT IT WILL WORK TRUST ME. And don't follow the directions u can use it more than 1 time a day"


"Moved cities to try and save money but this hasn't worked out as planned. I been stressed for the last 8 months and one day I just started getting anxiety attack and just depressed as heck. Went go see doctor. Got on 10mg lexapro for first 2 weeks then 20mg after that. Had minor side effects. Trouble urinating. Dry mouth. Minor head ache and the craziest most vivid dreams. And about a 2 week period of bad depression. All has since gone away. Besides the dreams. Very low libido. Don't drink alcohol on this medication is takes away the effects. Took me 3 days to start feeling the meds again. My anxiety is more manageable and i feel more sociable."


"I was originally introduced to Soma about 25 years ago when my back went out and I could not stand up straight.  It worked very well, although it did make me drowsy (which was fine with me - much better than the pain).  Currently I use it for neck muscle pain/spasms and it still works well.  I do not have any known side effects from it."


"I had been experiencing ovarian cysts for at least a year, but I didn't know that was the cause until about 5 months ago. I have been on Mononessa for three months now and I haven't had any cyst symptoms, also I am instructed by my doctor to only take three of the reminder pills before I start a new pack instead of all seven. My periods tend to be lighter and my face is clearer than it used to be. I have been on birth control for about seven years now and so far I am liking this one a lot. I haven't really had any of the side effects, no spotting, some breast tenderness but I have always had that. My appetite does fluntuate, I'm not sure if that is due to the pills or not, I am a college student so it tends to happen a lot."


"Have to take 2 pills before they work for my migraines."


"I am very upset that Lily withdrew Darvon-N.  I thought it was a wonderful medicine in that it helped me. I suffer from TMJ and Darvon-N allieviated the pain every time I took one. The side effects were just like any other medicine so I really don't see why they removed it from the market."


"Fasted all yesterday in prep for today's MoviPrep which is needed for tomorrows Colonoscopy. This stuff started working less than 10 mins after finishing first 8 ozs! I hope when I am done drinking all of it that I don't still feel so hungry for a nice juicy steak!"


"I really loved my Implanon the first 8 months because I had no bleeding whatsoever. I started having really bad pains in my abdomen and my doctor told me they were cysts, so she put me on a low dose of birth control pills for 3 months. The cysts went away but I started bleeding a lot more. Now I bleed almost 3 weeks out of the month and it has caused serious relationship problems with my husband. It has made my face breakout, less than other birth control pills, but still broken out. My boobs got bigger which is actually not a bad thing. I have noticed feeling very very depressed and crying spells for no reason for the last year and a half that I have been on it. Everyone's body reacts differently to all birth control, just make sure you know ALL of the side effects."


"For years, I didn't know I was suffering from Anxiety and Panic Attacks. My doctor told me what was happening to me & prescribed Xanax. It helps me TREMENDOUSLY. I feel "normal" now. Been using it for 10 years."


"I started taking the patch because I thought it would be much easier than taking a pill everyday at a certain time and it sure is. Personally I do not experience many side effects at all. When I'm on my period week I do experience more headaches but I take use the patches for 3 months straight so I only have a period every 3 months. I have recently had some issues with them staying on, I always applied them to my behind but now I've started putting them on my arm. I would recommend them, I think they are much more convenient than a lot of other forms of birth control."


"On for 9 weeks.  Started dose gradually as prescribed, 2 days I had constant diarrhea.  Immediately, my cravings were gone for SUGAR & CHOCOLATE, but keep reading! At full dose (2am, 2pm), I had constipation, got better after taking Colace.  I felt fine all day & night, but when the evening dose had worn off by the am I would wake up SHAKING & HEART RACING. Felt better after next dose, but shaky all day. One day I almost passed out after normal exercise. Then Non-Stop Nausea set in so now I could not eat and felt like vomiting just from looking at food!  Drug made me ANXIOUS & Jittery so I stopped it. Lost weight..20 pounds in 9 wks, mostly because of NAUSEA, but side effects were not worth the weight loss."


"I am 20 years old and I've been taking focalin for a year now. I have been on every ADHD medication under the sun since I was in second grade and this is the only  medication that helped me get on track right away. The only adverse side effects I experience are a faster heart rate (most ADHD meds do that) and trouble sleeping. If you are having trouble sleeping on this drug here's what you do and here's what I did: prior to now, I was taking my medication at 11am or 10am. Often I would spend nights awake and panicky just begging for sleep to come. This is a simple fix. Just wake yourself up at like 6am every day to take it and you shouldn't have any problem sleeping. That's what I did and I sleep very soundly."


"Vivitrol is amazing.  My daughter just received her 9th shot and my son his 3 shot. Before this shot my kids only worry was their next high. Today they are enjoying life as college students! We tried  other options like Suboxone & Zubsolve as well as several rehabs. It always ended after 60 or 90 days with relapse. This shot has allowed my 2 youngest (19 & 21) a chance at a real life. They tell me they have no cravings & the best part is that its not a daily choice to take a medicine. They only have to make the decision 1x a month.  Of course they are using the Vivitrol along with A LOT of counseling. The hardest part for the addict is to stay clean the 7 days prior."


"PROS- no weight gain, possible sleep aid qualities

CONS-withdrawal (no, it's not like coming off of heroin, I can promise you, but it did cause a rapidly increasing depression)

BONUS-There's a coupon on Pristiq's website to get it for $15"


"After many years of mesh implants, gyroscopes, and prescriptions, I had the big  injection. So far I am just upset. I have finally been able to stop the oral medications but not stopping wearing several pads per day and now the catheterization at night before bed.  My doctor says it will get better when some of the effects wear off.  Whether or not I will do thus again remains optional. My insurance has agreed to pay for the procedure so I still hold high hopes for a good outcome!!"


"Oh my God!!!! Listen to me, I have no reason to lie and have nothing to gain by giving my opinion/review.

This medication WORKS!!!!

It's pricier than other similar meds, but there is no performance comparison!

All you need is 1 pill. I cannot believe the directions say 1-3 pills at once! That's crazy!

I'm on pain meds & suffer from occasional constipation. When it's bad, I'll take one around 8pm. Just 1 pill. Again... 1. Only 1!

By 3am-4am I am using the restroom like a maniac. Then I'll have a 2nd bm approx 2hrs later.  I'm telling you THIS WORKS!

* BEWARE! WARNING! *

If your like me, you don't drink enough water and/or eat much fiber. So when you do take this medication you WILL get massive cramping & might vomit. You'll be okay though."


"I am pre-diabetic and I take 1000 mg Metformin 2x a day and started Trulicity as my A1C was 5.9 and I have non-active lifestyle and 45lbs over my goal weight. Over the past 18 weeks, I have lost 31 lbs at about 1-2 lbs a week.  No adverse effects from Trulicity except for light headedness once and a while and the site of the injection itching.  It has caused to change my eating habits as I feel as my stomach as been reduced.  I started coming off my HDL medication and expect to terminate my HPB medication at my next doctor's visit.  I would suggest to hang in there.  I tried lots of injectors, this is the first one to work so well and produce great results. My Metformin was also cut in half, AIC now 3.8, as when I was 22 yrs old."


"I LOVE this product. I suffered from breakouts (not horrible) but enough to make me self-conscious about. It does not make your face dry, if anything it smooths it out. I use a tad in the morning and a whole pump at night all over my face. I haven't been getting pimples at all, except for a few that were unnoticeable. And it worked almost immediately. I also paired this with Solodyn tablets 55mg for only the first month. Amazing. If anyone has mild breakouts then I strongly recommend these 2 products. Good luck. This may not work for everyone, but if you have mild acne then I would go for it."


"great drug with few if any side effects.... especially in adults."


"This helped my acne to a good amount, while I was on it. I took this religiously for 6 months. I did not see any improvements until around the third month, and up until this point I just kept asking why I'm the only one my age with acne, and why it won't go away. For the last three months of my prescription though, my acne was kept at bay. I still had 2-3 pimples on my face at all times, but it was better than the usual amount. I had scarring left over, but I think the biggest disappointment of this regimen was in is the fact that my acne came back with vengeance about a month after I stopped taking it. After 3 months of trying every drugstore/high end option, I'm going to go back to the dermatologist and try something new."


"I have a torn hip ligament due to a fall at work - I find NO relief with Voltaren either oral (75MG 2x per day) or the patch."


"I've always had anxiety more than most for years since I was a kid. In last few years (I am 50 yr. old male) this grew into depression. It got to the point I would get paralyzed on the next task over thinking it - I couldn't be decisive. Then I would get depressed because I couldn't get things under control which led to lack of sleep - continuous cycle. I was always against anti-depressants (for the weak I thought). I tried everything - exercise, no alcohol, no sugar, sleep aids - with little success.  I finally gave Lexapro a chance.  It brought the anxiety noise level & depression way down and allowed me to get perspective and sleep. Occasional chills, but less over time. No other side effects for me. Glad I did it."


"Terrible product. Not the first time I have used for bowel prep for sigmoidoscopy and both times it has caused severe cramps, chills, headache and rectal bleeding. I am guessing if used for constipation perhaps not absorbing as much of the medication to get the severe cramps."


"I have taken TOUJEO for 1&1/2 years now I have broken out with a rash & itching over my entire body for the past three months. Told my doctor he said that can't happen with insulin.  I've been to three doctors  all tell me the same. I STOPPED TAKEN TOUJEO The rash is starting to clear but it is slow in clearing. there is nothing that helps. ."


"I had my first Stelara injection 2 months ago (and a booster 30 days ago). The difference is amazing, I have no more flakes, the redness is during to pink. I can wear shorts in public and not be embarrassed. NO side effects at all! This is a fantastic drug."


"Enbrel has worked well for me for about 4 years and it has been covered partly by my husband's former employer and Pfizer. It seems, however, that when I turn 65, it will barely be covered on Medicare and supplemental insurance due to Congress approving a renewal of the patent on Enbrel. Also, due to Medicare being a government program, it won't be covered. "


"While I did feel sick after the nasal flu vaccine one year, the flu shot itself NEVER made me sick until this year. I STILL don't understand it. I usually feel a little dizzy the day of and a little run down for a couple days or so but this time I felt pretty sick. The day of I had moderate dizziness which I attributed to lack of sleep and not eating when I had gone for a doctor's appointment where I opted to get the shot when they offered it. I kept explaining it away until the next day when I started having mild flu symptoms. I had the flu before so I know what that's like. These symptoms were VERY MINOR compared to having the flu. I felt feverish, chilled, sore throat, body aches, no appetite, nausea. Still advocate flu shot though."


"My doctor replaced Prozac with Pristiq in hopes it would be more effective in fighting my depression.  At first I thought I was in heaven.  I'm in my late 50's and never felt this good ever.  I also lost 30 lbs!  As time passed, I became more and more manic. (not a feel good manic either).  Had to get off of it.  Shame.  When it was working for me it was better than anything I've ever tried."


"I have been on the birth control patch for over 3 years now and I haven't had any problems with it. I recommend it to anyone who is forgetful like I am, when it comes to taking the pill."


"I had to discontinue it after several weeks.  It left me feeling tired and weak, and coughing up more mucus.  I maybe allergic to something in it."


"I have had the implant for a little over a year and a half. I absolutely loved it, until recently. I LOVE not having a period, I rarely had occasional bleeding. However, I now have a boyfriend, and after each time I have sex I get my period. I have had three periods this month. I am debating getting it removed and going back to the pill, sadly. I am curious if anyone else has had this happen."


"I had a cold sore appear in my nose on a Wednesday morning, I called my doctor and she called in a prescription for Valacyclovir, and by Monday it was gone! Granted there was still a little sore area from my skin healing, but nothing like having the cold sore without the medication! When I took my medicine it stopped it from growing and by 36 hours it was already scabbed and healing! My outbreaks usually take up to 2 weeks to heal and with taking the medicine it cut that time in half. I know if I would have had the medicine at the first sign it would have never have grown! I will never get stuck in the situation of never having any on hand, I always keep some in my medicine cabinet! Best medicine EVER!"


"Propranolol is a life-saver for my chronic migraine problem! My symptoms (painful to think; severe headache on one-side; nausea; vomiting - needed an ice-pak) Too much sleep was a trigger.  I have tried many other drugs without success (verapamil, atenolol, triptyline.)  I think Atenolol does not work for migraines because it does NOT cross the blood-brain barrier.   Propranolol does have the side-effect of powerful vivid dreams (pleasant and unpleasant.)   In the long-term,  I found that to be somewhat enjoyable.  .

I highly recommend Propranolol (20mg/day) for anyone suffering from Chronic Migraines !!

I suffered 3 migraines per week for 15yrs before a doctor tried prescribing it.

It has restored my life to normal."


"It gave me profuse sweating, minimal weight gain. I had nausea, elevated liver enzymes and elevated cholesterol during the 8 week course for acute disease."


"Honestly, this medicine has been life changing for me. Before I used it, my acne was awful, mostly on my forehead but all around the rest of my face, too. My dermatologist prescribed it to me and within a month of using it my acne completely cleared up. Now three years later, I still use it and my face remains acne free!"
