"I was given a 4 week titration pack to try Savella for my Fibromyalgia. I started noticing night sweats & hot flashes. Then on day 19 I was working at a show & had flushing, increased BP, Pulse & sweats so bad that my clothing was wet. I felt like my heart was going to explode. I must have some "lost moments" where I didn't know what I was doing. It was pretty scary so I stopped taking them & told my doctor on my followup visit."


"I think Nexplanon is right for you if you want to avoid pregnancy. At least, that was my experience. I have had nexplanon for 4 months already, and have only had spotting since insertion. I would consider a downside being the spotting lasted two to three weeks around the second-third month, but overall it's been nice not having a period. Its very effective against pregnancy. At first, I was very worried that I could be pregnant, but I've taken multiple cheap tests and they're all negative! I've calmed down about thinking I'm pregnant, as I trust it more. My moods have been crazy until this week, which might be a temporary thing. Other than the moods I consider it to be a great option!"


"I was very apprehensive to take this medication because of all the negative reviews on this site and others, but I'm telling you, TRY THIS PILL.
I've literally tried every product, been to multiple doctors and dermatologist, have had facials, treatments, etc., etc... NOTHING has worked. Except this.
PROS: Started to control my acne(less "patchiness", less breakouts), made my breasts grow almost a whole cup size bigger in the first 2 packs, made me more relaxed and chill then I already was, 4 DAY PERIODS.
CONS: the first pack I experienced constant spotting and really bad mood swings (only the first month, after the first pack I am more in control than ever)
I can now go to the dermatologist to fix my scaring and my skin will be perfect! good luck!"


"I've been on this medication for several months. There has been a definite change in my depression and mood. I don't feel as sad and upset or anxious but I don't feel as good as before I was depressed. Still hoping for the old me! But I'm at least on my way, closer than ever before."


"I’ve been on sprintec for 8 months and considering getting off it. My body still isn’t in sync with it and I go on a period for 1.5 weeks, have 3/4 days of rest then I’m period again. It’s absolutely annoying and tampons aren’t cheap! I’m spending more money on tampons which I’m not supposed to need than I am on the actual BC. This has made my sex life non existent since I’m literally only having freedom for 4 days at a time
I hate this"


"Well im very impressed and happy others have  Tegretol works, i am adhd and bipolar yup try that on for size its insane. I use to be an extremist of note but tegretol has controlled this and what i like most its not like the other medications it does not put you on just another high or a buzz, you don't realize what it does but the people around you do. It slows you down to a more controlled state and keeps the depression down. For me combine tegretol with healthy eating no dow etc rice starch, lots of water and gym and youll be sorted no doubt.But always remember like any normal being there are ups and downs and if you realize life is not always peaches and cream, and that you will experience down time, accept  and just let it pass."


"Been on this drug for three weeks.  Nothing.  Weight dropped a couple pounds in week 2, but went back up.  Blood sugar readings do not show any improvement.

So does it really take 6-7 weeks before blood sugars drop and weight loss starts?"


"I gained 30 pounds within 6 months of starting Jolessa. I gave been working out and eating even healthier, yet, my weight just keeps ^^^^^^^^^!!! As well as constant cramping and spotting. :("


"I've been on the patch for about 5 years now and love it. I never had many problems with it. I didn't gain weight but I typically will get a pimple or 2 the week before my period is supposed to start. I do get a slight skin irritation where I put it on. Only a little itchy and no big deal. I wear mine on my stomach and switch sides to help irritation. I don't think it hurts that bad to take off it's like pulling off a bandaid. I have only had 1 fall off and I was swimming every day for a week when it happened. I do notice I am more emotional (and slightly bitchy) while I'm on my period but I put the new one on and I'm fine. definitely would recommend!"


"BONIVA is the only drug that has improved my T-Scores since I've began my DXA scans over 4 years ago.  "


"Been given as I have a infection in my wisdom tooth which I've got a specialist consultation for in 2 weeks time.
So far had 6 of these tablets (one 3x a day so I'm about go onto day 3)
No pain relief and no sleep. Not slept right in over a week now but the pain is becoming unbearable.
I take morphine, paracetamol & Naproxen for health conditions and none of these have worked with my body.
My dentist didn't give me anything apart from the antibiotics and just told me within 2 days I'll be much more painless as the paracetamol should work with the antibiotics.
It's 2:28am on the 3rd day several hours before my 7th pill and I'm in so much pain and so tired but cannot sleep.
Seem not to work for me, feels like it's getting worse. Will update."


"This past week has been horrible. Monday through to Wednesday I was recovering from food poison, and Tuesday- Saturday I was extremely constipated. I spent early Saturday morning 2:30am-5:00am tossing and turning in pain. I realized it had almost been a week since I had a bowel movement. I got up, googled some home remedies, (olive oil, baking soda, prunes etc..) so I tried olive oil. Nasty. Baking soda? Hec no. Prunes? Its 3am. No. So finally I came across magnesium citrate. I got dressed, drove to my local CVS and chose the grape flavor. Got home, forced down the bottle, drank some water and 2 hours later nothing. Waited another 1.5 hours and BAMMM. Like a water hose. So relieved. Cramps and feeling sick so worth it. At last. feel 100x better"


"I started taking Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago for depression.  I had been on Zoloft for the past 6 years and needed a change.  After the switch, I was more irritable.  Three days ago, I developed hives and swollen lips.  After my 2nd ER visit, I am back on Zoloft."


"The medication was far superior and hopefully safer than using Percocet. The issue is continuous relief for several torn/ruptured discs. Surgical intervention is not guaranteed to resolve my problem. Pain level is 5-6 continuous and takes over your life. So what to do. Many personal issues to consider but in the end I realized that until a solution if found I don't have a lot of options here. Went to a shrink and others and finally accepted status at this time. Never drink, take as directed, and trust yourself. Never, never, fall into the trap of changing the dosing from the prescribed format."


"I used this drug for suspected Swine Flu. It definitely works wonders but what I noticed was that it affected my brain in some ways. I am confused and less tolerant than I was before. I am hoping it is temporary. "


"I take 50 milligrams of indomethacin with a caffeine tab at first sign of migraine and call it quits until relief kicks in in about 1 1/2 hours.  Slower than Imitrex but much cheaper and not limited by insurance.  My headaches have signs of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, common to indomethacin sensitive headaches so my neuro suggested a trial dose taken daily along with Topamax for a preventative.  When I took indomethacin daily I got mentally weird and even paranoid and anxious which was totally not me so I quit daily use and only take it with individual headaches."


"Given a sample by doctor. Have suffered from a headache for 24/7 for last 18 months. One dose and I got the first relief I've ever had since my injury causing headache. Miracle!"


"I have been taking a 50mg dose twice a day for 2 weeks and have lost about 13 lbs. I struggle with remembering to take the medicine in the mornings and those are the days I tend to eat more, usually fast food. But when I do remember to take them I eat so much less and have less cravings. They make me thirsty so I drink more water, no complaints though. And I have quit bedtime snacking on unhealthy foods or portions.And my energy and mood levels are way up, making things like waking up and the morning, going to work, or just working out more enjoyable and less draining. My goal is to lose 60 pounds and with this medicine I know I can make it there."


"I first used Effexor XR 75 mg at the start of 2016 to treat depression/ anxiety. Side effects were things such as dry mouth, frequent urination, problems sleeping at night. After 2 weeks these reduced greatly and after a further 2 weeks my mood improved greatly and my anxiety reduced. My ongoing side effects were strange (not unpleasant) dreams and sometimes night sweats - neck and chest. I tapered off to 37.5 and then stopped October 2016. The withdrawals - head zaps in the main - lasted about a week and were not too bad. I stopped because I  felt so much better.
During mid 2017 I went down hill again and was back at the GP's sobbing my heart out and at home being a complete pain to my wife. I started 75mg again 4 weeks ago. Much better!"


"Hello I just wanted to share my experience to calm the minds of every girl on here. So I have now had to take plan b twice, first time the condom broke, he finished inside so I took the pill one hour after and had little side effects. My period came right on time. Second time the condom broke but he pulled out long before he finished. I took the pill a few hours later. I had cramping, nausea, acne flare ups, and lots of stress. I missed my period and around that time my breasts became sore. I was very nervous. I took a preg. test and it was negative. But two and a half weeks later it came like I truck and now I am bleeding heavily and cramping a ton!! So ladies please just try to relax and let the pill do its job. Thank you plan b!!"


"I was excitied to try the Breo Ellipta.. I have severe emphysema & 73 years old.. At first I found that I could breathe longer during the day without using my rescue Proair so much during the day... After 6 days, I found that when excerting myself for a longer period of time, ( grocery shopping) that I would run out of air...My chest felt tight & my Proair didn't seem to rescue me as before...It was a little frightening..."


"I love it. The insertion was not nearly as horrible as I had expected. Of course, it was uncomfortable, but totally bearable and quick. Afterwards, I cramped and bled (lightly) for the rest of the day. I recommend spending the day in bed with a heating pad like I did. For about a week after insertion, I experienced light to moderate cramping but now (a few months later), I experience no cramping and no period. I also haven't had any issue with the IUD strings. My partner hasn't "felt" them at all, which was another concern.

Overall, it's great. No more worrying about taking a pill every day and remembering to take my birth control with me on trips, out camping, etc. I haven't had a period at all, and it's long term. I love it"


"Out of the 15 years I have taken birth control this one has been my favorite. It made me have regular light periods and toned down my mood swings. Didn't gain any weight and never got any pimples. I'm extremely sad my new insurance doesn't cover it anymore and I am devastated. I am now on the hunt for a new bc and have had no luck with one that responds well with my body."


"I have struggled with generalized anxiety disorder and depression since I was 15. I am taking 10mg a day and have had no side effects except unusual dreams. This medicine has been amazing! I used to cry and worry a lot now I feel 100 times better!"


"What started out as a simple back strain/sprain at 19 yrs old has, over the years, evolved into an all encompassing condition leaving me with Multiple Sclerosis, handicapped and needing a walker for any mobility. Through the years I have been on NSAIDs which have proven time and again to be so helpful in relieving pain to where I was taking 3200 mg of ibuprofen/day. Finally given Relafen, which has saved my stomach from all the pain medicines and ibuprofen. Have never had a problem with Relafen (nabumetone) over the 7 yrs I've been on them, and they continue to be instrumental in relief from daily pains due to MS. A great product!"


"I'd been having problems with insomnia and anxiety, both conditions feeding off each other and making the other worse and creating mild depression. My GP prescribed 0.5mg to be taken at bed time as needed, to be increased to 1mg if needed (only gave me 14 tablets as they are habit forming). Amazing results! I slept through the night and woke feeling calm and NORMAL for the whole next day AND the day after! I've taken 3 doses in the last 11 days, and took 1mg after a particularly stressful day with the same good results. No side effects of note except for a very mild headache 24 hours after the first dose.

I'm expecting to have a decreased need for these after starting a new job in the next week but so happy to have them to get me through."


"I have been on Neurontin for a month now.  This medicine was given to me for chronic neck pain from an injury 30 years ago.  I did not mention to the neurologist that I suffered from severe anxiety and panic disorder, I was taking at least 1 dose of Xnax daily for daily panic attacks.  Since starting on neurontin I have only had to take Xanax 1 time, I am not in chronic pain any longer.  This medication has changed my life in so many ways.  My husband told me in tears that he has his wife back.   My work has completely changed around, I love my job again, I love life again, and I am pain free!!!!!!"


"I took Viibryd for 3 months, as in spite of initial side effects, I really wanted to give it a shot, since I've tried virtually everything else. The sexual side effects began after the very first low-dose tablet and continued until I quit cold turkey after 3 months. I'm 57 and went from enjoying sex with my wife 2 to 3 times a week, to almost complete anorgasmia while on Viibryd. Three days after quitting I was almost back to normal, and within a week I was back to 100%. The best I can say: virtually no side effects of the withdrawal, in fact the frequent headaches I had while taking it have ceased."


"Do not prescribe this to anyone !! This drug should not be legal. After 2 weeks it made me feel suicidal, which I've never been in my entire 33 yrs of being alive. It swung me into a severe depression and accumulated a huge amount of anxiety. This is the most unhealthy experience I have ever had. It ruined my relationship and my personality when I was taking it. I started a college class and the doctor prescribed this to me for concentration. It made me feel like I was on speed. When I stopped taking it about 6 days later I was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT person, I was finally back to normal. Please watch your children or anyone you know who may be taking this."


"I am 20 years old. I have used Lexapro for two months. I must say it's great, anxiety and depression are gone. "


"I have recently been prescribed Percocet for pain in relation to blood clots and 2 herniated discs in my back. I was on Dilaudid for a long time, and obviously, the doctor wanted me off.  He initially took me down to 5mg Lortab which did NOTHING.  Then he bumped me up to 10/325mg Percocet 4 x daily using 2 of them for breakthrough pain. I've yet to get the prescription filled because I have no insurance, but I have used them in the past with fairly decent results.  It comes nowhere near IV Dilaudid which is the ONLY thing that takes my pain completely away for about 2-3 hours, but I can't be hooked up to an IV the rest of my life. (Although I would if I could just so I could be pain free!)  I'll give it a 7 for what it does."


"I take 2 Norco 10/325 every morning with 800mg Ibuprofen for lower back pain due to 2 herniated discs from an injury in 2005. They are only partially effective. I have built up a tolerance to pain medicines. Even during radio surgery, the sedation I was given did very little. My doctor just gave me Morphine to use at night to help me sleep, but I am allergic to sulfur and the drug is actually called Morphine Sulfate. I am afraid to take it because of the potential side effects(hives). I'm waiting for authorization for disc replacement surgery, so hopefully I won't need pain medicines in the future."


"I've only been using Epiduo for a few days and I don't know how I'll ever go without it. I use it twice a day and it is working wonders on my acne.

Some people have mentioned that it dries out their skin and makes it flaky. I have not experienced this whatsoever because I have very oily skin."


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


"This product did not work for me I still live in pain in my knees give out all the time."


"It's 2:30 am and I'm wide awake! At the suggestion of my doctor, she said to take Mucinex D ... BIG MISTAKE! I'm definitely breathing perfectly, but I'm jittery and unable to sleep! Mucinex D in the morning, Sinex at night!"


"I used this on a cruise and it worked great! I didn't get sick at all. I would use it again. Works great."


"Just made an appointment on 9/26/16 to get the Liletta and so far so good!!!The procedure when quickly. Just some discomfort like take a pap test. Some to not much little cramping at all. I return back to the doctor at the end of October for a follow up visit. Will post again to let you know how things are."


"I am very confused about the reviews stating the bad aftertaste, because this is an eye drop! I was given a sample by my optometrist. Previously, I was using Zaditor which worked okay, but it wasn't great and sometimes irritated my eyes even more. Bepreve makes my eyes feel very refreshed and "clear" of whatever it is that causes my eyes to feel dry/watery/irritated. I don't use it daily. Just when needed."


"I have been on Zoloft 50mg for about 6 months now. I got on it because I could not control my anger. I would go from okay, to completely angry in just a matter of moments. Everything and anything would set me off, and I couldn't control it. So, I went to the doctor and he put me on Zoloft. I have lost close to 40lbs since being on the medicine beacuse I have no appetite anymore. I do not feel like a zombie, instead I am able to control my anger better. I still get upset and angry, but I don't lash out like I used to. I feel like I have control of my life now."


"Started on Cymbalta for anxiety & depression fall 2014. It was the first anti-depressant that I'd ever tried (aside from St. John's Wort). Side effects during the first week of taking it were SO terrible that I had to stop. I was constantly dizzy. I couldn't focus on anything. It made my body so tense, I'd catch myself clenching my teeth and fists. Insomnia was terrible; I'd wake up ~5x per night. I work in healthcare and I felt like I couldn't do my job with all of these side effects, so I stopped. The side effects were really worse than my anxiety and depression. I have no doubt that they would have eventually decreased, but I couldn't wait for that to happen. Obviously, the side effects will be different for everybody but that's my story"


"I have been on Nexplanon for about a year now. At the very beginning I had huge food cravings. I did not have a period for about 2 months. Then for about a month it started to regulate but it was very heavy. It has been 5 months now and my period has not stopped. I've also gained weight even though I'm incredibly active. I went from 135 to 148 now. My mood swings are insane! I have severe anxiety and depression. Overall Nexplanon is doing its job and I am definitely not pregnant but there are huge side effects of using this implant. I do not recommend it."


"I've been on this pill for 3 years now.  I had been taking Seasonique, but had some weight gain and mood swings so my doctor recommended Quasense.  I experienced some light spotting after the first month, but nothing more.  No acne, no depression, and no real weight gain.  I've noticed that I retain water more than ever before, but I cut back on the sodium and increased my water intake, which is a good thing to do anyway."


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 months and have found it very helpful. I have a bed chemical imbalance disorder which just means that there are too many chemicals in my brain they were causing me to faint, have twitches and shiveres nearly every hour and seizures, to the point where I ended up in hospital after smacking my head on tiles during an episode. So far so good the medication has helped a lot. I think for nerve damage or anxiety this medication will help but maybe not for depression. I am always exhausted and my libido has significantly reduced but no twitches or seizures. I do notice that if I forget to take the medication or I drink my twitches and fits return :( Does not mix well with alcohol ."


"By far, the best sleep medication out there. After trying sleeping medicine after sleeping medicine, I finally found one that actually worked. It works like a charm every time. Thank you Ambien for giving me my life back!"


"Worthless, night sweats.  No relief at all."


"This patch has been the most effective in treating my spinal pain, however due to a change in work and traveling extensively the restrictions about getting a refill is hard. "


"I have taken this product for headaches, backaches and toothaches and having tried Motrin, Extra Strength Tylenol, and Aleve for these issues in the past I would give Orudis KT the highest rating of the OTC pain medications."


"I'm so happy that Chantix got so many people to quit.  That could be a whole lot of lives saved.  I also think Chantix is extremely effective.  I took it for 3 weeks and basically quit after the first week.  The problem was the nausea.  I'm not talking about occasional or intermittent nausea.  I mean the worst sickness I have ever felt.  It was with me 24/7 for the entire time I took the pills. The end of week 3 was a weekend.  At that point I felt so sick that I stayed in bed.  I missed a cousin's wedding that Saturday because I couldn't make the hour long drive or get through the day.  They really need to ditch the nausea symptoms to make this product more of a success."


"I had sex on September 15 at night and I took the pill September 18 early in the morning. He pulled out but I was still scared. I had been freaking out and googling all my symptoms and convinced myself I was pregnant. Yesterday I got my period (it’s pretty light.) Take it as soon as possible and try not to stress ladies!! You’ll be okay."


"I was switched to Alesse 3 months ago when my other BC brand was discontinued. Experienced a face rash as soon as I finished my first pack to start my period which lasted the entirety of that week. Have had no other side effects until again recently I experienced a more intense rash on my arms, legs and lower back but was in the middle of my pack for month 3, which lasted for about 4 days and now spotting a week before my period is supposed to start. I’ve never had a rash in my life before taking Alesse, I’ve been on BC for 2 years and the only side effect I ever had was spotting when I first started. Would not recommend alesse if you have sensitive skin (I don’t) or react badly to medications"


"Been on Loestrin 24 for about 4 months. Love the fact that it's taking care of the terrible menstrual cramps and bloating I used to have. On the flip side, it tends to me sad a lot more but with time I think I can control that. Also I am gaining weight on my hip/thigh area. I really don't mind if it's just temporary. So far so good, I like the pill-it's making my time of the month a really easy time. For 1 month I had no period at all."


"I am 47 and have suffered from bouts of depression all my life but about 2 years ago I was hit with depression and panic attacks so severe, I literally wanted to die.  I tried a few medications that didn't work and then Lexapro at 10mg.  At first I was very disappointed because it didn't help, even after about 3 weeks.  Then it was increased to 20mg and I swear within about 3 days I felt like a new person. I have been on it for about 2 years.  At times, I have tried decreasing back to 10mg but I end up with the same severe depression/anxiety symptoms.  So I will be staying on 20mg.  Thank you for making something life Lexapro available to me."


"I am about to do my 4th treatment. I have used Androgel and injections, and nothing has worked like this. You have to give it at least 2 weeks after the treatment to see the full effect. It has really worked for me. My symptoms go away until about 2 weeks before my next treatment. That is the only issue."


"On my 5th week of 12. Because of the slight nausea, I found it eased up if I eat supper a few hours before I take the medication. Taking it at night before I go to bed has been working very well for me as it makes me tired [sure gonna miss the sleep aid when treatment is over!]. Occasionally I've felt a slight headache; drinking water usually takes it away with no additional medication. I 'play' with my diet to eliminate bowel problems and a daily walk also seems to help. My current lab shows it's working!!"


"I'm 17 and this is my first birth control pill ever and I've only been on it for 4 weeks. I'm currently experiencing my first period on the pill. Before I was on birth control I had extremely terrible cramps as most people in my family do. However this period has been GREAT. No cramps and my flow is extremely light and easy. The only downside is that when I gain weight it sticks and stays which is abnormal because my weigh used to fluctuate and my attitude is a little bit more raw and sensitive. With that being said this pill was a great fit for me , I'd recommend it!"


"I first tried this drug about five years ago and have been on it consistently for two to three years.  The good: this drug really changed my life.  I'd tried a laundry list of antidepressants and they were mostly like popping sugar pills--they didn't do much at all.  My psychiatrist suggested adding Abilify and it did something that no drug had ever done for me: it stabilized my mood (which was all over the map) .  It allowed me to be happy and productive for the first time ever in my adult life.  The bad: I have consistently gained weight every year I've been on the drug, with no sign of a plateau.  I'm experimentally discontinuing it to see if I can lose the weight (which is, counter-productively, making me depressed again)."


"My son has been taking the medication for a week on Tuesday and all I have to say is that he is doing a lot better. His teacher noticed a difference on the first day, so did my son. He stated to me that he can actually focus on lessons and listen to the lesson with no problem.  The only thing that I can say is that my son said that he doesn't want to eat as much but he eats anyway because he knows he needs to and at night he wakes up once.  The doctor did tell us that, that may happen in the beginning but that it will ware off."


"Of all medications I have taken for mental illnesses, Seroquel has been the most effective. It started working almost immediately. At first 25mg nightly, then 50mg, to 75mg, to 100mg only at bed time due to the drowsiness that accompanies it. I now take 150mg at bed and 25mg with breakfast and 25mg at lunch time which is keeping anxiety at bay. It required an increase monthly for me until now. The biggest benefit was treatment of insomnia, which in turn helped me manage my days better. It hasn't been effective in preventing or even reducing the effects of mania which is why it didn't get a full 10/10 from me. The worse side effect has been the constant weight gain."


"Today is my first drug free day and I don't feel bad at all but actually feel pretty good. This is without a doubt the best detox drug I have ever used."


"I am almost at a month of taking this birth control. 4 days to go. I am also using it to help with Endometriosis. I have had a cycle and it lasted like normal three days and very light which is awesome.   Now I have noticed that I have a crazy craving for hot and spicy food like everyday I need to eat something spicy. Other than  that craving it works well. If anything changes next month I'll be sure to share my experience."


"This pill is not taking away my Irritable Bowel Syndrome but it gives me loads of energy. I LOVE IT."


"Gabapentin has saved my life! Like everyone else I was experiencing a lot of anxiety & wanted something non habit forming and addictive. This makes me feel calm about an hour after taking. No more anxious thoughts & irritation. Wonderful medication I can't stress that enough!"


"Absolutely a life saving drug. I am a student in university and have had ongoing undiagnosable stomach problems for four years. I still miss a lot of school but with this drug, I can put weight on finally. Every now and again it flares up really bad and I will take 8 mg at a time. Otherwise, I take 4 mg about twice a day, once when I wake up and once after my midday meal. I rarely get the headaches because I take the tablets and not the ODTs. There's an artificial sugar in the ODT that supposedly causes the headaches. If a sudden bout of nausea occurs, it will go into effect in 30-45 mins for me."


"I'm 2 weeks into Lolo after Mirena IUD removal, and due to irregular periods, and ovarian cysts. Not sure what's a mirena removal side-effect (Mirena crash) vs. lolo side effect. But I've had headaches and anxiety, and really sad, sad, days. Just blah. I'm going to update as time goes on to annotate any other pros/cons. I have been nauseas the past few days too."


"I am 20 and have always had anxiety about BC and not trusting that it is working (I could always use it exactly like I'm supposed to and would still make myself sick over if I was pregnant or not) this has definitely lessened that feeling!! If your like me I always Google my symptoms to see if anyone else is feeling it too so let me tell you.. I've had it for about 3 months now, and things are a little rough. I've been bleeding almost everyday since I got it.. Except for those first few weeks. But it's only minor spotting. My first period was just like normal (only 4-5 days too) and my second and third has been a little wonky. (Not on time) but I'm holding out that it'll get better! I wish you all luck!!!"

"My tonsils have been hurting very badly the whole day that I felt like crying. 10 minutes after taking Advil, I felt such a relief. More than half of the pain was gone and I was able to take my final exams for school without any pain. Thank you so much Advil!"


"Month 1 ok. Nothing that noticeable Month 2 extremely tired al the time. No patience, over emotional, beyond ragey. Full period on second week on the pack. Dry flaky patch on my usually non acne face. Headaches, some abdominal cramps. Want to give it a chance but the tiredness I can't deal with ...the side effects of feeling depressed."


"I have tried taking lithium twice - when I was a teenager & as an adult. Both times it didn't do much for me. I still experienced mood swings & I gained a lot of weight. I also developed thyroid problems & had very bad tremors. This is not a medication I would recommend. If you do decide to take lithium make sure to get your your doctor to give you blood tests regularly, so you can check on your liver, thyroid, etc. It is very important."


"Helps my anxiety just generally puts me in a better mood - I can actually deal with life happily now"


"The purpose of my writing this review is to warn nursing mothers against using this drug. The drug worked - it increased my milk supply - but at a very high cost. Prior to taking Reglan, I had never had issues with depression or insomnia and very little issues with anxiety. Throughout the latter part of my taking this drug, anxiety increased steadily. Then I stopped sleeping. I became extremely anxious and severely depressed. After over two weeks going on a total of no more than 15 hours of sleep, I was admitted to the hospital. While in the hospital, I stopped taking Reglan. After five days off the drug, I was fine. Please do not take this drug. The other reviews are accurate as well. It is not worth it."

"I only got the shot once, I gained 15 pounds in 3 months and had horrible mood swings. Also, the cramps I experienced after getting the shot were ten times worse than the cramps I experienced before. The only good thing I can say is that my periods were a lot lighter. "


"My walking has improved dramatically. Over the 5 days I've been taking it my distance has improved 30%, speed has increased 13%, #of rest stops decreased from 4 to 0, and cost has decreased $125/mo over Spiriva   Symbicort."


"I have PCOS and so I have a great amount of upper lip hair and on my chin. Instead of pulling 20 chin hair a day I pull about 4-5 if I use the product 2 times per day. I have also noticed over the past 3 months that the hair on my head has been falling out so I backed off on using this product to 1 time per day.  I continue to lose a number of hairs from my head everyday.  I know if I back off to using Vaniqua once every other day my chin and lip hair will increase so not sure what to do."


"I've had 6 back surgeries in the past 2-1/2 years, and two of those surgeries in the last month (I've also had 61 spinal injections), and Dilauded is the ONLY pain medication that has worked to help reduce my pain and keep it to a tolerable level."


"So far so good. I've been taking this pill for almost 2 months (I know it's kind of a short time to claim results) but it's been treating me well. I made sure I put an alarm on my phone to ensure that I take it on time everyday. So far I have experienced headaches from time to time. About two times, I took the pill about 2 hrs late and had light bleeding from then up until a week which is a pain. I know more time will tell for real results but just wanted to give a review of beginning side effects for me."


"So, I don't know what this medicine is made of...unicorn horns?  Pixie dust?  Whatever is in here, it WORKS.  My first time using it was last Thursday night.  I followed the directions exactly and prepared myself for the itching and burning.  Surprisingly, I felt zero pain or itchiness at all.  I actually worried that I had applied it incorrectly, but the next day, after risking wearing a medium-toned peach cotton t-shirt, I had NO sweating.  At all.  All day.  I even texted my hubby from work, I was so happy.

I used it the next night (Friday) and then not again all weekend.  I stayed dry and happy all weekend.  Simply amazing stuff.  I feel a huge sweaty weight has been removed from my shoulders."


"I just started using Ambien CR and like most of the people i was scared to take it because of all of these weird side effects that people experience but thank GOD it worked on me just fine. My doctor was gentle to me and she prescribed only 5mg and I must say it worked like a charm. I took it and half hour later (maybe even less) I was deep in sleep. I did sleep close to 5 hours and I must say I don't remember the last time I was feeling so refreshed and so rested. Other medicines I've tried put me asleep but when I would wake up I would feel so groggy. I'm finally happy to say that I found a medicine that works for me."


"I use tramadol all the time for pain and it does work better than hydrocodone or codeine.  It lasts a lot longer, the only complaint I have, is it's very expensive. "


"I’m giving it a 5. That is 5 points for effectiveness and 0 for ease of use. It tastes like stomach bile with flint stone vitamin flavor. I have not had any other colonoscopies so I’ve nothing to compare it to. I couldn’t do it again though, I assure you of that. I’ve only made it to this site to seek moral support for the poor souls that have gone before me with this kit."


"After a series of pain medications and even a course of prednisone to help with my costochondritis, my doctor decided to give this a try before seeking further intensive treatment. This is the first time I've had relief from any pain, and while not clearing it completely, it does a pretty good job of reducing it significantly. I'm only worried about prolonged use and haven't come across reviews regarding that yet. Would greatly appreciate anyone's view on that as well! Also, there is a coupon for $20 that you can download directly from the website, as this can be pretty expensive. Even with insurance."


"I have been sick for nearly 3 weeks now. I had pneumonia and a sinus infection. I had a full course of Levaquin and 60mg of Prednisone a day, and while it did help at first, it did not clear up the sinus infection. 2 days after taking my last dose I couldn't breathe and had the sinus infection trigger a migraine causing me to throw up on top of everything else. I was rushed to the Dr. where I was given 3 shots (Steroids, Rocephen, and Tordal/Zofran) and put on 500mg twice a day of Clarithromycin. This antibiotic has been a God send for me. Yes my stomach gets crampy, I have mild nausea, and very vivid dreams, but after 4 days of this medicine I am feeling so much stronger. I absolutely recommend it."


"Neurontin plus physical therapy for my previously unrecognized pelvic bone rotation has basically cured my vulvadynia which also involved horrendous skin irritation (raw, bleeding skin) in the area between my clitoris and vagina. What a miraculous combination! I strongly urge women to find out if they have nerve issues created by pelvic tilt/rotation/etc by going to a women's health/pelvic pain physical therapist. The therapy is sometimes painful but the results are great, and people who specialize in this are very very kind and sympathetic! Neurontin is the icing on the cake for the cure. Calms nerves and allows them to return to normal"


"Been on and off olanzapine for 15 years. Varying doses. As high as 15mg per day currently on 2.5mg per day. Dose wonders to reduce voices, anxiety, OCD thoughts, and i sleep like a log. On the down side I'm way less creative and energetic. I have put on huge amounts of weight in the past but when I came off the med the weight disappeared quickly. Now I can control weight gain by simply not eating processed foods and carbs. No carbs means no olanzapine food cravings. I'm still able to eat fruit sugars with no probs. I just eat lots of proteins  and vegetables. One major concern is my memory isn't as good, I used to be super sharp and I can't think as clearly nor process complicated concepts. Over all though it saved my life."


"Xanax simply stops to work when taken too long on a daily basis. At that point, one reaches "tolerance," and the medication is simply no longer effective at that dose. Many psychiatrists tend to keep prescribing Xanax and other benzodiazepines at this point (strong, addictive tranquilizers that lead to dementia and Alzheimer's) as maintenance meds. It is then up to you to realize how bad they are and wean yourself off them, going through years and years of dangerous withdrawal. The best solution is don't even start! XANAX: NOT EVEN ONE!"


"I was on this pill for two months and was not impressed. I had random spotting a couple times a week, so it was like I was constantly on my period. Also during the second month, my hair started falling out. It was so scary, because my hair never really fell out a lot when I would shower, but on this pill I would be finding clumps of hair. Needless to say, I'm switching to a different pill."


"I am in the same situation as above.  This is my fifth day of having hemorrhoids and have used ALL the over the counter medicines.  Proctofoam seems like it helps more.  This is my first day of use, so hopefully the swelling subsides soon.  Definitely better though."


"Flomax has improved my urinary flow and comfort and reduced significantly the number of distressing dribbles at the end of urination.  Unfortunately, Flomax also quickly reduced my sexual ability too, with softer, less frequent, and shorter lasting erections, and sometimes appears to cause premature ejaculations that never occurred before.  Taking zinc along with multi-vitamins appears to help.  I'm still getting up at night to urinate but at least the flow is good.  My wife isn't thrilled about this, but I must be able to pee to live, and I can still live without much sex."


"My Dr prescribed pantoprazone for chronic cough. He thought the cough and hoarseness might be caused by GERD.  I quit after a few days because of the side effects. My osteoarthritis was so sore after taking this med that I could barely walk . I had ulcers in my mouth, my nose was tingling and I had horrible headaches.  Days  after quitting , I am having attacks of heartburn.  I had none before taking this med.  my advice is not to go near it!!"


"Only bad side effect ...it takes all the water out of your intestinal tract so when you go to take a dump it's like squeezing out a very hard dry brick! and it is NO JOKE! I highly advise drink lots of water before hand to lower the effects of this."


"I am 35 years old and have Been on and off Enbrel for 13 years. It's the only medication that keeps my AS under control. P90x stretching videos work so well for AS also."


"My mother was down to 78lbs.due to nausea.Phenergan had been the only drug her Dr.would prescribe. This continued for 3 months until someone told me about zofran. I asked if we could please try it, it was amazing.I'm positive,if we hadn't asked about this drug,she would be dead from starvation ,due to nausea."


"I have had depression since I can remember. Lost lots of relations because of it. Got on it eleven years ago and have more friends then ever."


"I was put on 150 mg of Wellbutrin twice a day. It has completely helped my depression and amped up my sex life. Things could not be better. Our sex life has always been amazing but without the depression in the way its even better."


"I had the Implanon inserted in August of this year and I am getting it taken out next week. The whole time I have had it..all I've done is bleed. It is only enough for a small tampon but it's irritating to bleed for that long. My cramps are worse, my mood swings are outrageous. I go from being happy and content to pissed off and full of rage in a split second. There doesn't even have to be a reason. I gotten hot flashes and gained weight."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took the first dose at 6pm last night and the teste was the nastiest stuff I ever had ..I did not read these reviews first , so I did not know about the keeping it cold or using a straw.. I did take a sip of water between every few gulps of the poison tasting liquid.. It barely worked on the first dose .. I waited a few hours and only went one time to the bathroom.. Today I took the 2 nod dose and was gagging as much as yesterday..This time I went to the bathroom sooner and a few more times..BUT I do not think I am totally cleaned out.. I had my first colonoscopy about 9 years ago  and took a million pills with no taste and worked perfect.. I hope I will be cleaned out enough to have my procedure done..."


"Used at night. Intense burning- after 20 minutes it was unbearable so rinsed everything out. Better- but still mildly burning. Don't use this product."


"Was taking 175 mg of Seroquel to sleep - experimenting with dosage. Felt overtired and crusty. Weaned down to 100mg, then 75 at nighttime. Active adult male who works out regularly, eats well, but gets agitated. Any less than 75 mg mental mania slowly starts back-unpleasant. Would like to not take but the doctor wants me to substitute Lithium. No change with hair loss and diabetes as side effects. "


"After having been on it for over 5 years I started to get very moody crying over anything. I'm not a crier. Oh and vaginal dryness...not fun!"


"Dr tried to get me to switch to this from Ambien.  I finally gave in and was given six 15mg samples.  I am on the 5th night, and have fallen asleep 1 time before 2am.  Tonight I took it at 9:30 along with my melatonin ultra and benadryl.  It is now almost 12:30 and I'm wide awake.  I'll probably get some sleep around 4a.m. like I generally do, but I will wake up feeling awful.  This drug gives me the worst feeling in the morning, like I'm sleepwalking with a migraine.  I'm going back on the Ambien."


"My doctor just switched me from 30mg of MS Contin to hysingla 20mg once a day. Mind you I have been taking the same thing for over 4 years. This hysingla is a joke!!! After 3 hours I was in so much pain I thought I was dying!! Felt like I was going to be sick, and not from the medicine, it was because I was in so much pain. Whoever said this lasts for 24 hours is completely ridiculous. Worst ever!!"


"If you have a low tolerance for pain: Request a Valium (for before), and strong pain meds for after the procedure. This was the most painful medical procedure I have encountered so far (and no kids yet!). My body went into shock and shortly after I fainted off the exam table into my boyfriends arms, like a true Scarlet O'Hara. Extremely embarrassed, I made like a sloth and headed home to rest. The next few days were light spotting and manageable cramping. Moving fwd; your period will be more painful/heavier/longer. Take it easy when getting intimate after healing and invest in a heating pad!
All said and done; No pills, no hormones, no feeling it during sex or physical activities. It's the most practical BC on the market. Worth it!"


"I recently had the skyla IUD inserted while on my period was the best timers get it . I got it  about a month go and so far so good! I love it! During the insertion I felt pain for like 30 seconds of cramping a bit. I recommend taking ibuprofen at 600mg-800mg before. I felt a little dizzy after the insertion and felt better. I was protected right away due to my consistency of the pills. I took ibuprofen for 3 days for the semi cramping not severe at all. I've been good ever since with no serious effects. I've have been exercising and eating clean not having a hard time losing weight, no PMSing, no acne, and emotionally normal. I love not having to worry about pills anymore. I would strongly recommend it."


"I'm 19 and my first week on escitalopram 5mg was hard. I felt worse than ever, my anxiety got worse, I had suicidal thoughts that I never had even though about before and I couldn't leave my bed. I was tired , had head aches and had a clenched jaw and got very jittery and my sex drive had gone completely, I am now on to week 3 but can already feel a difference. Already I feel more normal and my anxiety isn't to bad right now so I'm happy I kept on using the tablets and hopefully it will get me fully back to old ways soon and can feel more me again. It gets better so don't give up on them !!!"


"I hate this medication. My doctor gave it to me and says to keep taking it in order to feel the effects but I took it a few hours ago, I have the shakes, I get so hot and feel totally out of it. I can't wait til this feeling is over. I will not take it again"


"I used this drug 15 years ago for situational depression.  At the same time, I quit smoking and have not picked up a cigarette since.  The freedom which comes from not being depressed or a slave to nicotine is priceless."


"This medication is awesome for suppressing my appetite and helping me lose weight.

I have lost a total of 23 lbs in 2 months taking 1 pill every other day.

I just cannot deal with the headaches, which is why I will have to stop taking them."


"I've been taking Dexilant 60 mg. for 10 days now.  It was given to me because I felt like something was stuck in my throat.....esophagitis.  Well it worked taking care of that problem, thank goodness.  After taking for 5 days, I started getting really tired, then headaches.  This week the headaches got worse and couldn't sleep at night.  Also chest, ears, and scalp itching like crazy.  Then today I started having very bad stomach pain.  I thought about all these symptoms on the way home from work and it all added up.  I remembered that each evening I took the pill, about 30 minutes later the itching began and it was terrible.  I didn't take tonight, so hopefully the itching, stomach pain and headache will go away."


"Been taking this drug for 9 months w/o side effects. Sugar levels dropping, and having gradual weight loss."


"I hated it  I had heavy flow periods non stop all day everyday.  My son was conceived while  I was  on it . AND  I tried it again and pregnant again!  Maybe  I'm just the unlucky one it doesn't work on but I'm 18 yrs old and a mother  of almost  2."


"Been on this medicine for 2 months 50 mg, feel so much better and much more relaxed. So much better than Prozac which made me very full of anxiety."


"I'm 31. Social phobia and depression since 6.
Works GREAT for melancholy. But I get very angry at times. It doesn't work for anxiety, phobias etc. That's a explosion of appetite for life (for sex, mainly), but if you have anxiety issues, can cause precoce ejaculation.
The doctor gave me paroxetine 60mg (anxiety)  bupropion 150mg(Mdd), they help a lot.
For me therapy and gym are also important.
Friends, give time to the medicament, be strong: every person has a inner beauty, a inner power to rebirth. The medication helps our body concerning the chemical imbalance, but our identity is the deep love that we have in our hearts.
I suffered panic attacks, sorrow, despair, but I have faith in medicine."


"Haldol was given to my mother for nausea/vomiting in her final days/weeks of battling colon cancer. Haldol worked great for nausea but the side effects were horrible. She was not drowsy, she was out! Not coherent, confused, wasn't able to eat and at times was agitated. Be very careful using this medication. It took two days after stopping the medication for it to leave her system and return to a normal state of mind."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Have had sleep apnea for awhile and started using CPAP machine alone about 6 months before also adding Nuvigil. Nuvigil helps me get through my work shifts more effectively, especially when transitioning from working 3rd shift to having 3 days off and having to conform with a normal sleep pattern. I liken this medication to taking a 5 hr energy, but it is more effective and lasts longer. I still yawn, but my brain is fully alert and am able to concentrate like I haven't been able to in years. I'm quite impressed - only side effects have been minor headaches a few days a month and at first a slight nauseated feeling. No jitters or nervousness - love it! Insurance co-pay was $45.00 but the Nuvigil Rx Savings Card brought my co-pay down to $5."


"I been on nexplaonon  for a year now an this is worst birthcontrol every my periods last up to 2 weeks an I have bad anxiety attack were it feels like I can't breath or catch my breath  an  never sleepy I'm always up at night an,don't go to sleep until the afternoon I getting it remove asap"


"Zoloft pretty much saved my life. I was suicidal due to my trauma and many life failures. I hated the medicine at first, though. The adjustment period is horrible. I felt constipated, sweaty, sleepy, high and dissociated from the real world. Once you get past that (it takes a couple of months), it is great. I am so much more relaxed now. I used to be very aggressive and now I think about other people's feelings. Being depressed from my trauma, I was very tired. Zoloft made me more tired until I adjusted to it. Now it actually gives me energy."


"I am 30 and I have been taking Sprintec for about 11 months now, started taking it after the birth of my 4th child. Cheapest birth control ever! I have not had any problems with acne, abnormal cramping, lack of sex drive, or anything else. The last 3 months I have noticed headaches about the week before my period started but I figured this is due to getting older. Blood flow and period length is the same as it has always been on other birth controls. I know the exact day I will start and stop and am totally prepared."


"It works well for my anxiety, but tends to last longer than I need it to. Also I get an odd effect when taken with my Ritalin. It causes me to remain focused but on many random tasks so its some times counter productive at work."


"I have suffered from tachycardia for 25 years. I was taking Atenolol 25mg for years until it did not really work anymore. My Harley street heart surgeon told me to take also digoxin 250mg.
I noticed right away my heart was beating more regularly, more stable. After two weeks I was thinking was I supposed also take the Atenolol pills. And started also taking them. That was not good, I was back to tachycardia.
I went back to see my doctor and told him that it was strange because first I thought that the new medication was working and then it did not work anymore. I asked if I have to take also the old medication Atenolol and he told me "YES". After some time I decided to give up Atenolol and Digoxin works better alone !!!"


"I received a sample from my Dr.  To try before filling the script. Day I took the injection, I was fine. Day two had mild diarrhea. Day three, severe diarrhea & can't eat. I have literally had 5 crackers & a piece of toast in three days. Vomiting, horrible belching & abdominal pain & still more diarrhea.  I am fighting to stay hydrated. I have upset stomach with Metformin, so I should have know that this would cause problems. I'm convinced that the reason you lose weight with this, is because you can't eat at all! I won't be taking a dose this week."


"I was diagnosed with psychotic depression for 7 months and my psychiatrist put me on zyprexa 5mg. After using antidepressants I got into mania. This medicine is a miracle. I was relieved in one week. I am still taking it but I became a bit hesitant to continue due to some horrible reviews. Tried Invega And had suicidal thoughts. This medicine is great for mood with combination with lamictal."


"I had been dealing with anxiety disorder and panic attacks for about one year. My doctor put me on Prozac - which gave short term relief but then terrible panic attacks. Since going on Zoloft I have seen a 100% decrease in panic attacks and anxiety. This medicine worked for me when nothing else would."


"As a college student with moderate IBS symptoms/overly sensitive stomach, sharing one bathroom with four people can REALLY be scary. Instead of having to climb out the window and run into the woods or bang on the door begging for mercy, popping a couple Pepto Tablets can REALLY help relieve the symptoms of impending doom. Mellows my stomach out within 5 minutes of taking, doesn't taste bad and gives me a sense of safety. Sometimes, your stomach still gets upset much later, which at that point is completely fine-it has to come out sometime, right? Generally speaking, it's usually great and I never get the upset stomach! I recommend to anyone, it's saved me many times and can do the same for you."


"I have taken Klonopin for twenty years.  Sadly, over the years I became resistant to the lower doses.  I am extremely dependent on it and it became "necessary" for the dosage to be steadily increased over the years.  I was all of the way up to 5 mg at night.  This had disastrous side effects...extreme confussion being the most alarming.  It was difficult to start to titrate down slowly.  After many months, I was down to 3 mg. and then down to 2.5 mg.  It was not easy and there were many restless nights filled with anxiety.  Over the last 6 months, I have decreased down to 1.25 mg.  I am struggling but determined to get off within the next year.  Do NOT let this happen to you!"


"I started taking Cymbalta and I noticed a difference immediately!  I felt more relaxed and happy in general.  I take Lamictal for Bi-Polar disorder and after finding that medicine alone not being enough, my dr prescribed Cymbalta.  I've been in a pleasant mood with my family, friends and at work.  Not stressing out about leaving the house or having a busy schedule and getting anxiety about it.  It has also helped with my lower back pain I have been dealing with the last 3yrs.  It's only been 2 weeks and the only thing I can say is, I seem to yawn a lot and have less of an appetite.  If it messes with my sex drive and lowers it... I'm off it."


"My quality of live has improved significantly on this medication. It has calmed my voices a lot and helps me to sleep at night. The weight gain is a problem but I guess I don't mind it because I am feeling so much better. The hallucinations and delusions are less frequent and I can think clearly and get on with other things. I also don't wake up with that hangover-like-effect in the morning. I think I have found my miracle drug."


"I am approaching 3 years on Nexplanon and do not regret it at all; I will certainly get a 2nd one. They only side effect I experience is irregular bleeding, however it is almost always very light. I personally manage this with washable, reusable cloth pantie liners. The benefits of high efficacy, low drug interactions, and little active management far outweigh the minimal side effects I experience."


"I started taking citalopram around 18 months ago, my husband had an affair and I got to the point where I was having a breakdown so Dr started me on 10mg a day, side effects were just tiredness\spaced out really,only lasted a few days
After a couple weeks felt better, could control  panic attacks, felt calmer, after around 4/5 months it felt like it was wearing off so Dr increased to 20 mg, this dose made me feel terrible for about 10 days was like a zombie
Then I felt great so much better, doubling the dose probably wasn't a great idea at the time but was worth it, anyway they work really well for me they just take a while to work. I now take 40 mg a day after falling In a deep depression my husband had another affair but now feeling great x"


"This medicine was awful for me. I felt nauseous taking it, moodiness and had a hard time staying awake after 3-4 hours. I also had a hard time driving during that time too. Do not like it"


"Nuvaring was very effective and easy to use especially during college.
My clinician helped me choose it after disliking the Depo because it took away my period. My favorite thing about it was that I knew when my period was coming and I could skip my period if I needed too. The only real side effect I thought I saw was a major decrease in my sex drive, but that also could have been because of the stress of college so I'm not really too keen on saying it was really a side effect."


"Although only taking it for 3 months now -- I basically feel a lot better and the sugars are at a moderate level to lower. I do not feel as hungry as I usually do. There has been some problems with constipation, though not bad."


"I have severe acid reflex for the past 10 years and always have struggled finding relief until I found this medication back when it was called Kapidex, the name was changed because it sounded to much like the medication Aciphex. I started off taking over the counter medication, then went on to Prevacid when it was prescription at a very high dose. The beauty of this medication, unlike most other medications in the same category, when taken it begins to work and usually works for me longer than 24 hours, so if I miss a dose I do not have to worry my stomach will hurt and have diarrhea. The only downside to this medication and others like it is the depletion of calcium in the bones making a broken bone easier to obtain."


"I was on Flovent Diskus 250 mcg twice daily for approximately a year before I discontinued due to insurance dropping it and a lack of efficacy.

It really worked well for my daytime asthma symptoms, but did very little to treat my nocturnal symptoms. It didn't give me any side effects, though, which was nice."


"I will have been on Sprintec for 2 weeks tomorrow.
I'm 15, and I've been in a relationship for some time. Things were going amazing, and then I started getting very moody, angry, and would cry a LOT (still am).
We are currently on a break and I do not think this medicine helped anything emotionally for me. I have a history of depression and suicidal thoughts, but had been totally fine for a little over 8 months. Now, I had some thoughts today,have been feeling down for at least 2 weeks,  and I'm supposed to be seeing my s/o to talk about all of this. I don't know if anyone is able to respond to these reviews, but should I ditch the birth control for a day and see what happens to my mood? Or call my doctor? If you can reply, please do.Thanks"


"I'm in week 3 of my first packet and have broken out around my mouth and under my nose and it seems to be spreading.  I have had a couple breakouts on my chest as well."


"I was constipated for about 4  days. I tried Dulcolax on my 4th. I took one in the night. I woke to little cramps but I still didn't have bowel movement so I took a second one... when I tell it worked the next minute. I started having painful cramps for about 10 min. Then all of sudden it happened. Everything went out."


"Ok so I've had nexplanon for 17 months, almost a year and a half. Since getting it put in I have gained roughly 25 pounds. I gained up to 30 pounds 4 months after getting it in. My weight will fluctuate about 5 pounds. I have dieted and exercised and will lose a few pounds but then it goes right back up. Also, my acne has gotten worst! It used to be just on my chin now it radiates up my cheeks too. I have gotten acne scars and stretch marks, bad stretch marks from gaining the weight and the acne. I also bleed everytime after having sex. My periods were nonexistent at first then spotting a lot, now I spot about everyday but not enough for a pad or tampon. I gave this bc a 5 is because I have not gotten pregnant."


"Serum sickness, type III immunologic  reaction.  Dx by allergist. Hand: swelling, tightness, rash; bilateral.  Feet: hive like rash;  bilateral.  Knee: swelling and rash; unilateral."


"HORRIBLE medication. This is my first review for anything but I felt I had to say something. I was on oxycodone 10/325 for years for chronic pain and never had a problem with side effects. Since being on Oxaydo, from day one, I've felt sick. Stomach pain and burning, nausea, constipation, horrible headaches and bouts of dizziness not to mention I'm in more pain now than ever. I've barely left the house since I started this crap. While I think an abuse-deterrent is a great idea, something is not right with this medication."


"Just started taking Belviq 10mg twice daily.  My starting weight was 350.  Three days later I am already down to 345.  I am a 5'5 40 year old woman.  Belviq worked for me immediately to suppress my appetite.  I am counting my exact calories daily and sticking to a 1200-1300 calorie diet.  I have not felt deprived and Belviq is keeping my hunger at bay.  I have not experienced any noticeable side effects.  I go back to my doctor in a month for a weigh-in.  I will re-post my results.  So far so good.  So far I would definitely recommend this drug."


"I have been taking Epclusa for 2 weeks, the first week was a terrific headache after 1 hr of taking it that subsided now the horrible joint pain and locked joint pain, I've tested positive for RA which is a effect of Hep c, the # are increasing since on med. I have Geno 3 for 30 + yrs, will keep posting"


"Bright yellow urine, always tired, on and off nausea and just constant feeling rubbish.. 4 days to go..."


"I will start off by saying that everyone reacts differently to Implanon. I had mine inserted a little less than a year ago. The first few months were what I was told to expect, spotting on and off. At the three month mark I started bleeding badly for two months straight, took a week break then started bleeding again. For the last three months this has calmed down some, however I have started breaking out like a teen all over again. I have also noticed some weight gain and lots of hair loss. Good news? Well it does the job of keeping you un-pregnant."


"Works great. As soon as I take it my anxiety its gone."


"I take this drug at night.  I would not recommend taking it in the morning.  It has really helped my paranoia. I have been taking it since 2004."


"After having tried just about every medication. Zyprexa is the one that kept me asleep. Of course there are some mornings I wake up early. Like about 4-5 in the morning. Those nights are rare. As far as weight gain? It hasn't been an issue. And I wish everybody the best of luck while taking these medications. Because finding the right fit takes lots of patience:)"


"I'm on my second pack of LoSeasonique, about five or six weeks away from my first "real" period on this BC. For the past few days I've been experiencing brownish discharge (from blood) and moderate cramping. Other than that, no complaints really. The pill didn't clear up my skin but neither did my other one. I really hope this cramping stops now though, it's very painful. Enough that I can't go out much. I've heard that it gets better once your body has adjusted but I don't know how long that will take."


"Only been on it one week, but it is starting to work! No nausea like I had with Asacol 400 mg."


"I've been on this pill for 3 months now and I just stopped it two days ago. I had a pregnancy scare because of the side effects that this pill will give you. It will literally make you feel like you're 1 or 2 months pregnant without actually having a human inside of you. It made me nauseous for the 3 months total, moody (like incredibly), bloated, veiny around the nipples, tender breast, really really sensitive nipples (if I was wearing a bra and a shirt and I slightly rubbed something against them, it would hurt), felt depressed, fatigue, and it even looked like I was like 3 months pregnant! I'm not going to say that I don't recommend this pill because everyone reacts differently but this one obviously did not work out for me."


"I was prescribed and took the Azithromycin pack (Z Pack) when I came down with an acute case of Bronchitis. It was the traditional 2 pills at the first dose, and then 1 pill each following day. I started to feel a noticeable improvement by day 3, and was nearly completely better 7-8 days later. The medicine definitely worked for me, however, the side effects were strongly unpleasant. I had severe stomach pains, along with diarrhea, even when I did take the pills with food. Since the pills work for 10 days, i had the side effects for that long too.  Overall though, I happy I took the Z pack and it helped cure me quickly."


"My Mom was placed on Brillenta on 1/4/16 and was in the hospital. As soon as she was placed on the medication she complained of a funny feeling in her stomach. Was discharged 4 days later and still had a funny feeling in her stomach...which was blamed on anxiety. She continued to complain to doctors about this funny feeling up until taken back to the ER on 1-26-16 for the funny feeling...ultimately my Mom passed away on 1/27/16 with a GI bleed...I'm very concerned it was caused by this drug!"


"Coughing worse after taking"


"My Mother had a severe allergic reaction to Lisinopril. She was taken to the ER for swollen tongue and shortness of breath. Her heart rate was high. When the doctor questioned her about her medicines for blood pressure. They immediately thought the reaction had been caused by lisinopril. She was the fourth case that they had seen. She had only taken it for about a month (10mg dose)."


"Stay away from this drug.  Real bad side effects. Tired all day. Anxiety, panic attacks.  Can't breath.  Short of breath. Feels like your organs is shutting down slowly.  They should lock the Drs up for prescribing this Poison medicine.  Wow. I thought I was dying.  And I think I came close.  It messes with your eye sight and all.  If you die and take this medicine. Its the reason. They will say you died from natural causes to stop a law suit. But this medicine is dangerous.  I wad only taking half of 25mg dang near killed me"


"I generally always have a headache but can get through the day with no problems. But recently my headaches really trigger my migraines and with them I get nausea, sensitivity to light, and extreme pain in my head! When I explained this to my doctor he prescribed Treximet and I am so glad he did. I take one pill on my onset of a migraine and within 30-60 minutes I have complete relief. I'm so happy I found out about Treximet !"


"The side effects of this drug far outweighed the benefits for me."


"I have been on this drug for 2 months. It has definitely brought my blood pressure down to where it should be. Unfortunately, it is cost prohibitive because it is not covered in my plan D formulary.  $5.00 per pill is hard to swallow."


"This is the only thing that has worked for me. No more voices and I don't feel sedated the next day. They do have it in Black Cherry flavor and it is better than the regular which is horrible. I know it taste bad but it is the best thing I have found."


"I had the Implanon inserted a few weeks ago. Nothing unusual about my last period. However, I feel like I'm going crazy. I lash out at everyone and an argument seems to be my new hobby. I hate it. I cry randomly for no reason and fatigue hits me all at once and its impossible to fight it. I run random fevers and I cramp bad at certain times. I've had nothing but bad experiences from this thing. EXCEPT, its nearly impossible to get pregnant on it. I just can't deal with these emotions anymore. So, I am getting Implanon removed."


"I was stuck with a patient's bloody needle when he passed out unexpectedly and had to start Combivir for HIV prevention; given that said patient is active duty military (I am too), the chances of him having anything were minimal, but I chose to take it as a precaution anyway. The side effects were horrible: extreme fatigue, unrelenting daily nausea that I had to go and beg the doc to prescribe me zofran for, joint pain, can't eat more than a few bites of anything because I feel full, dizziness, and just general malaise almost like when you have the flu. Still got about two weeks to go on this stuff, hoping for the best,"


"Hi, I am also here to share my experience of using Ella One as I was also stressed and scared. I stupidly had unprotected sex with my boyfriend twice in a day however, at the time I didn't think anything about it as he has pulled out but after a couple of days I started having second thoughts and thinking what if I got pregnant and I wasn't due on my period until over a week. I decided to go and get Ella One on the fourth day after having unprotected sex. After taking it, I found this forum speaking about everyones experiences and decided to keep calm, relax and wait for my period. Week later my period came one day late! I had no side effects or anything, this pill is fab! Remain calm and Ella One will do its job ladies!"

"In the past 10 yrs. I've had L-4/5 back fusion and the right sacroiliac fuses and screws removed....still much pain on sitting.  I've had many injections/treatments that were all unsuccessful.  I'd gotten so used to feeling bad that I've just noticed after several months of taking Savella that I stay flushed, bloated, have problems urinating, headachy, flu-like stuffiness, blurred vision, nauseated, weight gain, among other symptoms.  I've been in such a fog with the usual pain that on vacation I finally decided to look this possibility up.  It's a relief to know that I don't have to endure these any longer. I dread coming off of it, but I can tough it out to feel at least as good as I did before."


"Tasted like grape koolaid with a bleach chemical undertone. It wasn't pleasant to drink but whatever, just got it down   2 extra 16oz cups of water. Once it all took effect an hour later, I had to keep going to the toilet every few minutes, which went on for a couple of hours, and after a while it was just liquid. The worst part was having to get up at 4AM to do the whole ordeal again. And I was still runny by 1pm nearly 9 hours later. So the second dose really needs to be way before the appt. And the fasting is tough. Doctor said I was totally clean though. Colonoscopy showed a perfectly healthy smooth colon. Luckily I don't likely need to do this again for another 5-10."


"I was diagnosed w hsv1 + 2 around my buttocks about a year and a half ago. Ever since my initial outbreak I've been taking 500mg of Valtrex daily. I've never experience any side effects -- I also take birth control and drink regularly. I've never experienced a full outbreak since the initial one. Sometimes when I go out of town I'm not great about taking meds and I'll feel symptoms coming on after a few days of missing it, so I'll take 1g for a couple days and then that makes it go away. I don't *think* I have a severe case -- the initial outbreak was extremely uncomfortable, but immediately after taking meds the pain went away followed by the blisters healing. Quick recovery w valtrex -- I doubt I'll ever go off!"


"I went on Yasmine to get better skin for an upcoming event. It was the worst decision I could've made! My skin has never been this bad! My chin is full of cystic acne. Big and red and they leave terrible scars, I have now been taking them for 2 months and it only seems to be getting worse. I also have gotten some on my back, which I normally don't. Also I have had my period now for 2 weeks with terrible cramps every day!! Usually I only have it for a day or two. I feel decrease in sex drive and have felt low since I started taking Yasmine. So far these pills have only been bad for me but I do believe and hope that the side effects will linger off as I continue using them! Hopefully this is just a horrible transition phase"


"The other day I had very heavy bleeding and went to the emergency room and they said it could be because this shot. I was bleeding so bad and heavy that I soaked through two towels. Today I was driving to go pick up food and started bleeding so bad it soaked through my seat, and through a sweatshirt! I would not recommend this birth control to anyone!"


"Zofran is a life saver! Works quickly and very well. I get bad anxiety and worry a lot which causes recent and sometimes unbearable stomach upset. One pill and I'm good! I am so happy I found relief. It does cause constipation for me but I'd much rather deal with that!"


"I had a severe toxic eruption from this medication. The inflammation, severe burning, itching, pain, and later the flaking of skin. It was horrible."


"I've been on Claravis for one month. I noticed a smoother complexion within a few days! I had moderate acne starting around 13 years old, I'm 25 now. I consider myself an attractive girl but not without make up. This is the first time in 12 years I have looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty without make up. It's a great feeling! I can see my pores getting smaller and my blackhead disappearing more and more everyday. I'm only experiencing 2 side effects, dry lips and a little nauseous anxiety. I have a doctors appointment today to discuss my side effects. I hope they are normal and don't get worse. I love Claravis."


"This is a great medication that is non-narcotic so you can get pain relief and still function.  Works well for cramps as well as back pain."


"Reading these reviews freaked me out. I took the 2000mg single dose (5 x 400mg tablets). I had a slice of toast with peanut butter and the filled my mouth with a sweet drink and didn't let the tablets touch my tongue. No taste at all other than the drink. No nausea. Nothing. Went to bed, woke up, BV gone. Happy days."


"I'm going on month 3 on Jolessa and the bleeding hasn't stopped since the month prior. As a BC, its great cause I'm not pregnant but the bleeding sucks. I haven't gained any weight which is great but I've become super irritable. I had this same reaction to the depo shot. I'm waiting on a doctors apt to change my BC."


"Took two at 8:00 pm. By 10:30 pm had severe cramps. Spent from 12:30-3:30 on the toilet with severe diarrhea. Had to take an Imodium to go to work the next morning as I'm still using the bathroom every 30 min. I will throw the rest in the trash. One of the worst nights of my life. I've used stool softener without such effects. Next time prunes and coffee!"

"I have been taking Ultram for about a month now. I had hip surgery in November 2008 and am still having some residual pain. It gets severe at times. Ultram works wonders, though ever time I take it, I do get very euphoric and excited. This lasts about 2 hours. This symptom has not decreased since I have been taking it, but has never interfered with driving or other activities."


"I'm just starting my 3rd week.  Here's what I've experienced:

- less frequent trips to bathroom at night.  1 or 2 vs 4 normal (but if I drink coffee after dinner, I revert back to 4 ... same with beer)

- no ejaculate .. while somewhat disconcerting, all still feels the same during intercourse, I close my eyes during MB and don't worry about it

- more consistent stream

- stuffy nose

- Dr gave me a coupon so I only pay $15/month.  You can also download same at Rapaflo website (may not work if you're on medicare)

I go back to Dr next week to see if blood still in urine, I hope not!"


"Used for post nadal drip.   Ineffective, horrible residue, sore throat, crackly voice, headache, one earache, and just did not alleviate original issue"


"I am 28 years old and have one child. I've had my Mirena for about 4 months now. I was very scared and nervous for the insertion, from having read many people saying it was extremely painful and/or uncomfortable. It was no more painful or uncomfortable than my annual exam.

I was in the middle of my period during insertion, and there was no more bleeding beyond the end of my cycle. Very slight cramping that I probably wouldn't even have noticed had I not been expecting it.

The only thing I can say is that occasionally my cramps that I normally get during my period hurt differently. I've still gotten my period each month.

I love the Mirena!! Highly recommended."


"I found no relief from using this product for osteo arthritis"


"I've been on this pill for about 3 years now and it's worked fine thus far. My weight maintained stable, no acne, I haven't had any more mood swings than I would if I wasn't on it and obviously I haven't gotten pregnant after having unprotected sex. My only complaint is that every once in a while I get some spotting for a few days."


"Lyrica really has changed my life by allowing me to sleep at night without all the leg pain.   Having both fibromyalgia and neuropathy  is a lot of pain but combined with my other meds I no longer suffer from nerve pain."


"I took Adipex (37.5) from February 2012-April 2012 and in that span of time I went from 300 lbs down to 170 lbs. That is a loss of 130 lbs. I hardly ate  anything but grilled chicken, fruit, and powerade. I walked at least 2 miles everyday. I got Pregnant at the end May 2012 so I had to stop taking it. My baby is now 2 years and 5 months and my weight has gone back up to a very uncomfortable 240 lbs. I still exercise regularly but not as often as I should. I have an appointment in 3 weeks to get adipex again and I am hoping and praying that I have the same results as before. This is a great aid in loosing weight for anybody who struggles with loosing weight by diet alone. Wish me luck...will update in 90 days!!!"


"Only complaint I have is that is falls off constantly. I always put on medical tape with it and it still falls off. Still working for me but its honestly irritating when it falls off all the time. I would have expected something that suppose to stick on not to peel off all the time. Would be better if it just stuck on the whole day!"


"I was giving Dilaudid in IV form after having an emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy.  It was amazing!  As soon as it was injected into the IV site I was no longer in pain and was able to sleep.  I would have been nice if they had discharged me from the hospital with a prescription of Dilaudid rather than Vicodin."


"I have rheumatoid arthritis and take an aspirin per day for my heart. It is effective in relieving headaches, especially quick if the tablet is chewed. Read the side effects to receive best results. Dosage I use is two, repeated as needed every few hours. This based on my needs and experience."


"I experienced dizzy spells ,was drinking lots of water, and had a foggy brain, but once my body got use to the drug being in my system, I haven't had any panic attacks.I am feeling much better.My experience with escitalopram is a positive one."


"Started Contrave 7  days ago - absolutely no side effects - though still titrating up to the higher dose. I'm 5'3" 220 lbs. Need to lose every bit of 100 lbs. Maybe notice some tummy issues today - but, they were symptoms of having eaten too much - need to change my eating patterns for sure. ~ Here's Hoping!"


"This worked like magic on my horrible, knife-like abdominal cramps and bloating. Within 30 minutes, my tummy felt great! But... Bentyl leaves me unable to work and barely functional. When I would take it, it would make me so confused I couldn't remember where I was, why I was there, or what I had just been doing. I would stop talking to someone mid-sentence and not remember what we were talking about or how I got there. I often couldn't answer simple questions. I also became very dizzy. I would only take it again if the IBS symptoms occurred at home and at bedtime. Such a shame. Nothing took away my pain like Bentyl did."


"A HORRIBLE DRUG. BEWARE I was diagnosed with pneumonia one week ago at the local emergency room. The ER doctor gave me 1 pill of Levaquin and I took 2 more from the pharmacy.  I took a total of 3  500 MG pills that gave me constant, deep, sore pain in my arms from my shoulders to my elbows. The pain was so bad on day 3 that I could hardly drive a car, put on a seatbelt, put on a shirt or turn on a light switch. I stopped taking the drug and went to my family doctor for a different antibiotic. Neither the ER doctor or the family doctor knew anything about muscle and tendon problems. I'm really angry about this. I am over 60 with no big health problems and don't appreciate being poisoned."


"I have IBS-D so when I get constipated it's a serious deal for me. So I go to the store and grab this off the shelf. I take 2 tabs around 2:30pm. I work the night shift so I layed down for a nap. I get woken up at 7pm with these strong stomach cramps. I go to the bathroom and it's just a little gas but I don't move. Next thing I know it's like the next flood is happening. It's only 8:40pm and I've had 3 bouts of diarrhea and I'm nauseous.  Much worse than my IBS. There was nothing sensitive about this medication. Will definitely not use this again."


"I have been on this pill for a month now. I started using it about 2 months after I had my baby. So far it's a good birth control, the only thing I'll say is I used to have a  period for 7 days. Since I have been on the pill my last period lasted for 2 weeks. Then 2 days later it came back on and I have been spotting ever since then. The other side effect, I'm moody and no sex drive."


"I just started my Forteo. I am 49 yrs old. I have hashimoto Thyroiditis, auto immune hepatitis, auto immune pituitary disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Also asthma from childhood. I've been on steroids every day for 7 years as well as other immunosuppressive drugs. I have osteoporosis of lumbar spine which I have been treated by pain management doc because orthopedic changes significant and orthopedic unable to help. Rheumatologist reinforced necessity of treatment since there is no end to need for steroids in the future. Shots easy to give.... simple step by step guide to assist at first. Knock on wood....no major negative effects at this point. Too early to know much but am very hopeful."


"I love Lutera. I've been using it for the past 6 or 7 months. The only problem I have with taking it is that I forget to take it. Since taking it my periods have been shorter and lighter and on time."


"Ankylosing spondylitis: It reduced my pain, but I had serious stools and stomach pains. The doctor substituted it with Naproxen."


"I've struggled with moderate acne the past several months and finally went to the dermatologist.  She prescribed Ziana gel at night as well as Epiduo for the mornings, an oral antibiotic, and Cetaphil Dermacontrol face cleanser and moisturizer.  Like others, the first week of using Ziana gel made areas on my face where the acne was worse slightly red and peel.  However, I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin and it's only been a week. I also have been drinking a lot of water (hydrating from the inside out) as well as using regular Cetaphil after I apply the gel at night. The day I saw my dermatologist, I also had a facial done after my appointment so I think that has helped me not have the "purge" phase some people are talking about."


"very effective, results almost immediately. To find this after 50 plus years of dealing with HAE is fantastic"


"Now have 8 weeks completed with Otezla. The side effects are getting better. Less trips to the bathroom, nausea gone. Skin is getting better. Still have visible patches on my legs, but they are less angry looking. The itching has been reduced also. Taking 30mg twice a day."


"I am currently taking Minocycline and I just got a face peel a week ago.  A few days after my face peel, my face still wasn't improving very well. I started using my Epiduo cream and my face is almost completely clear.  It has made my face dry and it burns pretty bad, but with lotion, it isn't bad at all.  I am very impressed. I am sure that the medication and the face peel has both made an impact on my face, but the Epiduo is helping a lot!  I was skeptical of using this product since I have read that the acne will get worse before it gets better. That has not happened to me."


"So I went on ability about a year to two years ago and it made me gain 50lbs in less than 6 months. A lot of my depression ties into my self worth and body image issues so gaining so much weight (A long with hundreds of stretch marks) definitely damaged my self worth and thus making my depression worse. Plus I didn't feel like it made any difference in my life whether I took it or not. Worked for 2-4 weeks then quit working"


"Im 20 and Im on week 4( 2 pills in the morning and 2 at night) i am 16 pounds down already. I am experiencing mild nausea, but it's only when I eat certain things. Once I throw up, I feel much better. I am trying to include more fruit into my diet to compensate for the food I have been throwing up. I have heard these symptoms don't last but 2 weeks max. If they last longer than that, I'm going to go back to the 2 pills in the morning and 1 at night since I did good during that. This pill has been great at eliminating my cravings. No constipation or headaches so far."


"Was on Humira for 11 years, which stopped working. Enbrel, horrible reaction. Started Simponi in

April. It took about 2 months to kick in, but now working great!  Sleeping  better than ever, have only had 2 days of minor pain. Only thing that is still challenging is the fatigue. Very happy with results and love the once a month injection."


"I was on 3 different antibiotics none helped to rid the UTI. I was then given bactrim, my second dose I felt so bad I felt like going to the ER. My head hurt day and night, I was nauseous just couldn’t function. I called the doctor, he told me to continue taking it, it is a strong medication. He said if I couldn’t take the pills he would have to give it with an IV antibiotics. I am being told I have this UTI and it is so bad that’s what I have to take. I have no symptoms of a UTI."


"I was taking Natazia for about a year 1/2 or more. It wasn't until recently that my doctor's office stopped carrying this as a free sample. I was put on a different form of birth control that my insurance covers. I have been on this for a month and I noticed fairly noticeable slight differences in the two. I almost never had periods on Natazia which I thought must be a bad thing. I also never had PMS on Natazia which was fortunate. Now on this new birth control I feel like I am 18 again emotion-wise. My period was actually a NORMAL period like I used to get when I was never even on birth control. I never even used tampons on Natazia because it was so light. I had to go buy tampons for the first time in 6 months or more due to discontinuing Natazia."


"Effective, yet EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for folks like me who don't have prescription coverage (insurance).  Wish there was a generic form of this.  This medicine has the least amount of side-effects and is very effective for me."


"I went to the Dr. today for a medication refill, and happened to have a migraine which was getting to the point of vomiting. When the Dr. came in, he gave me a sample which I took in the office. Within an hour, it was gone, without the weird side effects of Imitrex and Relpax."


"This drug works!  This is going to sound hard to believe but from the first dose of this medicine I have not had a single craving for alcohol.  I have been drinking for some 40 years and heavily for the last 10.  Needless to say, I was completely shocked at the results.  That said, the side effects have been a little tough.  I'm only a week in but the diarrhea has been an issue for about an hour after each dosage.  I am hoping that will end in the next day or so."


"I have been on Enbrel for about 8 years and it has been the best experience for me. I had to go off of it for a short time due to surgery and my husband had to help me up out of bed and to even walk because I was in so much pain without it. It is a life changing experience that I don't know what I would do without it."


"This medication has helped me out very much.  I used to get anxiety attacks often about school or work, a couple times a week but now I rarely get them at all.  I also used to just "blow up" in arguments with my wife but now I feel in control of my actions and speech."


"An effective drug, but it decreases sex drive."


"I had this birth control since March 30th 2015 and on April 9th the non stop bleeding started it is now June 6th and I'm still bleeding so my love and sex life has gone out the window but my boyfriend is very supportive . Other then the bleeding I am fine I just hope the bleeding goes away I might have to start the pill for a while"


"I had been getting up more frequently, recently 5x/night.  I have other sleep issues, uncontrolled sleep apnea while on BiPAP, so waking more often left me sleepy.  I then had surgery for an inguinal hernia.  The anesthesia shut me down, I couldn't urinate and was catheterized.  The doc put me on tamsulosin with immediate results.  I generally get up once now.  No side effects."


"I have taken this medication for severe sciatica nerve pain and neuropathy and over all it has been the best pain reliever I've ever taken. Far better than lortab that really does nothing for this type of pain. I also have degenerative disc disease and it helps with this also."


"2-1/2 months of low-grade migraine (from old whiplash accident and cervical spine damage). Saw my neurologist (specializes in migraine) and she put me on a steroid pack. Migraine stopped within a day but then started blotching on face and chest, having allergic reaction. After stopping, got HUGE rebound headache. Went in for my 1st time of Depacon via IV, which made me loopy, nauseous, uncomfortable. This happened for 4-5 hours 2 days in a row. Migraine was pretty much gone. Then put on Depakote at night by pill. Made me feel a little loopy but OK. So first night I was restless, nutty dreams but slept. 2nd night woke up at 2 a.m. awake and cleaned house, folded clothes, etc. Not tired yet at 5 pm. "


"Works great for cough."


"This is my third time over the past 10 years doing this treatment.  I'm scheduled for 4-6 weeks treating my legs, stomach and chest areas.  I like that the medication seeks out and treats damaged skin only.  My stomach has only 3 small spots.  However my legs and chest area that have been far more exposed to sun have a much more aggressive reaction. The pain, redness, swelling and sores are extremely painful however my history reminds me that in 3-4 weeks I will be finished and my skin will look and be much better.  Skin cancer gone and baby smooth new skin. It's affordable, and a more complete overall treatment that definitely works.  Stick with the plan you don't be disappointed !!"


"I been taking 200 mg for about 4 years now . But the problem is it's no longer working for me. My doctor doesn't want to give me anything that's addictive but I don't have a addictive personality over the past 4 or 5 years I have tried at least 5 different pills but none helped but hydroxyzine is good but once you get it build up in your system it no longer works . ( well at least not for me ) but everybody body's different ..... So good luck"


"I had tried many times many promises all to no avail. Now I get to enjoy my grand kids. Had I not quit smoking there is no doubt I would not be with them it's been 5 yrs now thanks Chantix."


"I started NuvaRing when I was 15, I don't trust the pill and have only had nuvaring,(recently switched to skyla.) I was on NuvaRing for 5 years. I liked it. It did get a little annoying because it would sometimes start to hang low due to certain sex. Helped with cramps, but periods got confusing. Found out  I misused for a few months to a year, messed up my timing on my calendar. But I was still fine. I recommend it."


"I am 25 and I have been on Depo-Provera for about 3 years. My mother is my doctor so she warned me about the weight gain. I somehow lost 5lbs once I started taking it. My weight has been up and down for the past 2 years but I don't think it is due to the shot. Its my love of food. Anyways, the shot is great; every 3 months. I haven't had a period for 3 years. Spotting every now and then but that's okay. I am very worried about getting off of the shot but I will prepare for that when the time comes."


"Medication burned a layer of my face off!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost 2 weeks now, and there have been no negative side effects: no moodiness, no pimples, no weight gain or loss etc. I've also already noticed my skin slightly less pimply (although this might have to do with certain times of the month/hormones, we'll see). If anything I've noticed my mood become more stable and happy. So far so good!"


"I am a 42 year old male who suffered from drug abuse, severe depression and social anxiety disorder. While seeking help for crystal meth addiction my psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro (10mg then 20mg). It took over 5 months of daily use before I started to feel better but now I can say that Lexapro has really changed my life for the better. I have been crystal meth free for two years now and actually enjoy being alive. I also interact with people much more and look forward to the future. Minor side effects included bruising (when taken with aspirin), trouble sleeping, increased sweating and hyper-activity, all of which disappeared after lowering my dose from 20 to 10mg. This medicine has been a life saver."


"I was on this for 3.5 months as directed and it literally did not work at all at any dosage. I started with one spray, graduated to two after a few weeks, then three after about 8 weeks. It didn't seem to diminish my symptoms at all. I was having several hot flashes an hour and terrible insomnia. I switched to a patch 3 days ago and haven't had one hot flash and I've been sleeping more sound. Wish this could have worked for me. I'm not sure if it has to do with how thin my forearms are? No idea but it was like I used nothing at all."


"I am a Certified Spin instructor and I currently take and/or teach 6 classes per week. Have done so for years and before that I was a high impact aerobics instructor which is where I probably did my damage. I also ride my road bike appx 50 miles a week. I suffer from OA and torn meniscus ( 2 places) in my left knee only. I had shot #1 and taught the same day. I immediately noticed a slight improvement with a feeling of increased stability. I no longer take Ibuprofen as needed which was usually only before spin classes. I have #2 tomorrow so I'm hoping for more improvement. BTW the shot easier than the Cortisone shot."


"I have OSAH and for the couple of years before this medicine- I couldn't drive more than 1 hour, or focus at work - I would fall asleep - regardless of the amount of sleep I got at night.  My CPAP helped, but still dozed off during the day. Since Nuvigal things are better, but still have some sleepiness if I have a rough week of less than 8 hours of sleep at night. Insurance pays most, but THANK YOU to the manufacturer who helps cover a portion, or else it would be costly."


"REDBOXES -Week two done, down 9lbs in all.  Did no exercise this week due to sickness.  Rested and slept all week.  Still on .6 and have no cravings and I am in full control of what I am eating.  No side effects now.  I trying to keep my calories up to 1200 per day.  The reason I am not increasing my dose is that I have to pay out of pocket for the whole thing.  This is helping me loose weight and if I don't put the dose up it will save me a ton of money."


"I was originally taking a daily pill : Scronyx, which caused my blood pressure to spike, so the next best thing was the the IUD, I went with Liletta.
The insertion was painful yet tolerable, the pain lasted for a few days.
The bleeding was the worst part, I was bleeding heavily for two months straight, I was beginning to get concerned so I went back to my Dr she told me that women can bleed for three-six months so I thought I'd deal with it. I have reached month seven I'm still getting my monthly that last 9 days, and my mood swings are just awful. The only good thing about this IUD is I have lost a few pounds.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone."
