"I am in the 9th month of taking this medication, and I don't have anything bad to say about it at this point. It has definitely done its job as keeping me from getting pregnant. My acne was also bad around my nose and chin before I started Previfem, but my skin is very clear and my period cramps aren't nearly as bad as they were before. They are also lighter. The only bad thing about this pill was that it made me very moody in the beginning."


"For me, Contrave was my last chance before surgery. I started out a 300lbs, and yesterday I weighed in at 249! The first month the nausea was awful. I was almost ready to give up when I found someone that suggested Dramamine. I take one Dramamine every morning and the full 4 pill dosage of Contrave with no more nausea.  Other side effects for me have been almost constant constipation and very light sleep. One thing I want to make very clear is that Contrave doesn't make you lose weight by itself. It gets your mind in a place where you can do it yourself. It puts you in control, instead of the cravings. I have lost 50lbs, and I thank Contrave, but I still worked my ass off to get here! "


"I started taking Daytrana a few days ago. It is mostly good but my only problem is my loss in appetite. For the past two days I've really only eaten breakfast and that's when I just put the patch on. I have barely eaten anything besides little spoonfuls of soup and Mac and cheese."


"I dislike Lutera. I got a new doctor so this is her go to so I said alrighty. I've been on it for over 6 months. My period never regulated with it. Some months I have 2 periods within 3 weeks, and I spot whenever. I gained a lot of weight, about 15lbs and my boobs gained cup size- doesn't sound bad but it's weird. I also have been very sad and just in a low mood. I'm trying a new birth control this month and I cannot wait.
I didn't get pregnant though?"

"My doctor put me on Keppra to see if it will help with my problems of completing sentences and being at a loss of words. I haven't been on the medicine long, but the side effects are very apparent. I feel almost drunk sometimes I am nauseous and dizzy and have not noticed any change in my condition. I have to be very aware and on top of my game to do my job."


"My fear of public speaking has affected my professional life. I consciously and unconsciously avoid jobs that will put me in the spotlight.   When I do get trapped into public speaking it's been devastating. Underlying panic for weeks, months ahead of time. Ruins your life. Severe panic leading up to the events. And the actual events have not gone well and have been humiliating. As a professional it makes you feel very small. I want to hide under a rock and just cry. I still get a bit nervous leading up to the event. Practice sessions are still very bad and I'm sure I'll bomb. But with the medicIne I'm nervous but calm when the time comes. And I can speak like a human. And THINK while I'm speaking if I need to. So glad I found this."


"It's great for preventing pregnancy, but the side effects were terrible. It made me very moody, gave me insomnia and mild depression. Those were the worst two months out of taking birth control."


"GREAT. Feel better than ever using this medicine and only side effect was some weight gain."


"My pharmacy switched me from Yaz to Gianvi a few months ago. I have since gained 18 lbs in that short amount of time. I'm off of Gianvi now and noticed that my appetite decreased by half when I quit taking Gianvi. I also became more depressed with the medicine. I would just want to lay around all day. "


"I have been on beyaz for about 4 years and had been very happy with it--it controlled my mild acne which is one of the main reasons for taking this birth control. About 5 months ago, my insurance started to send me rajani instead, and although I was upset about the change initially, I did not have a single pimple during the 3 months I was on it. My insurance somehow started covering beyaz again and started mailing it out to me. I'm starting my second month on it again and I am noticing more occasional pimples (that I remember getting prior to rajani). I'm considering asking my doctor to switching me to rajani for good."


"The first set of injections caused my cervical dystonia substantially worse and very painful for approximately a week. Then it seemed to help for about 3 weeks. The second set of injections (forehead, side of head, back of head, side of neck, back of neck, shoulders, spine) caused WAY worse symptoms for about 3 weeks & relief off and on for a week. It's hard to tell whether it's the xeomin or the invasive injections. I'm struggling with whether to attempt more injections. On a side note I was on high dose of zanaflex which did help the most..but, my liver enzymes shot through the roof and I was taken off completely after being on it for years. I was prescribed Baclofen. So far no relief."


"Last year I broke out in hives all over my body from an allergic reaction.  Had panic attacks and suffered from anxiety - tingling in head, crazy numbness and so on, all anxiety symptoms, made me feel like I was going crazy. Lexapro has been a miracle medicine for me. I've been taking it for about 6 months.  I feel so much more calm and no more anxiety symptoms or panic attacks."


"wonderful product! doesn't dry my skin out and works fast. my skin looks great."


"After 7.5 years, this past Jan. I thought I would try viibryd. Went up on it, down on cymbalta. Had a moderate adjustment with ups and downs. It was not as effacacious so titrated down viibryd and up on cymbalta. Got deeply depressed in between and on one moderate day; tried wellbutrin. I  titrated slowly up and this was death warmed over! Titrated back from hell to 60 cymbalta. I am just back to normal. Long story short: if it's not broken don't fix it. Cymbalta still is the best. Some weight gain but some exercise can help it a bit.."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Took first dosage at 6:15pm - NOTHING happened but cramps!!! It's 2:54am and I finished my second dosage and STILL nothing is happening.  I'm beyond bloated!   Procedure is at 7am.  !!!"


"Walgreens switched the brand and the ones from Actavis Inc are worthless. They don't work because they don't stay on long enough to work. Don't waste your money"


"Hi everyone!!

I am a 33 y/o wife and mother of 4 beautiful children ages 11, 9, 7, and 3.  My last baby was born via c-section.  After my first 2 children, I was able to bounce back quickly.  After my 3rd child, it was difficult to get the weight off and after my 4th, it seems impossible!  I'm a stress eater most definitely.  I scheduled a visit with my doctor and expressed to her how awful I felt by not being able to lose weight.  She informed me that my BMI is 36 and it's supposed to be 25!  I weighed in at 219lbs and I'm 5'5 and 1/2!  I started taking the generic form of Adipex at 37.5mg on 07/19/2016.  I weighed in this morning 07/22/2016 and I'm 216lbs!  I've already lost 3lbs in 4 days!  More updates to come!"


"The first time I took this..it worked within 5 minutes. I continued to take as directed for the next month. Absolutely nothing. Other than severe cramps, sweating, flushed, sick. I have been on and off of this for over 6 months. It has only worked 1 more time in 6 months."


"Hello all. I just want to say I am so grateful for this page! I am up at 330am with my 4th 4plus days long panic and anxiety attack in as many months. I tried the zoloft bc I had great success with it when I had post partum.  I am extremely leary of medications because of a bad drug reaction that I had to some meds. So when I started the zoloft again and got a headache which triggered a panic attack. I stopped. I went too much too fast. And now after seeing so many great reviews.  I'm gonna give it a try again. And hope I can come back and give this a 10!! You guys know my pain. So thank you so much!!!!!"


"Horrible mood swings since starting the pill. Emotionally numb, headaches, constant anxiety, nonexistent sex drive. I was switched to this pill by my doc because I had breakthrough bleeding on my other pill."


"It's been working wonderful for me the past 2 years."


"Have been taking kadian for two months and it has taken my lower back pain from an 8 on pain scale to a 2. Wonderful not having to take four to six vicodin but one capsule of kadian a day."


"I got Nexplanon put in a month & a half ago. I have really mixed feelings towards if. My skin cleared up, my leg hair grew in slower, my boobs grew in size. I was thrilled. But then my period came, I was on it for 3 weeks. After that my hair became oily. Since then nothing has changed so I'm loving it. More positives then negatives for me."


"Felt only side effects. Extremely tired, erectile dysfunction, dry mouth, headache, dizziness, cold sweats."


"I am 45 yrs old and started Contrave in November 2016.  I have lost 25lbs, which has been a wonderful and slow weight loss, but in the past month I have been experiencing severe heart flutters and dizzy spells.  I had an EKG during one of these spells and it came back abnormal, so now I am seeing a cardiologist.  Nothing else has changed in my life, and my PCP and Cardiologist are aware that I am on Contrave and have not suggested I stop the drug.  I have been to the ER once for an episode, and all labs came back great, I had another large episode last night, so I am going to stop the Contrave for two weeks, until I have to follow up with my cardiologist again to see if this makes a difference."


"I don't usually post reviews but thought I would share my basically good experience. Taking 300mg every 6 hrs for maxillary tooth (molar) and sinus pain - doctor and dentist were not sure if sinus infection or periapical (an acute or chronic inflammatory lesion around the apex of a tooth root which is caused by bacterial invasion of the pulp of the tooth) abscess. (Clogged sinus, pain in face and upper jaw, fatigue, squinty eyes, foul tasting drainage)  In two days pain was virtually gone. Very few side effects - BUT - be absolutely sure to drink lots of water (at least 8oz) and don't lie down for 15 minutes. Now on Day 7 or 8. My stomach is a little bloated more than usual, but bearable. Fairly normal bowel movements once a day. I should also mention: 1) Wake up with bitter taste in mouth - but it goes a way - not a lingering taste. 2) Pharmacist warned of sun sensitivity - I have not experienced that yet, but being cautious. Now started taking Sacchromyces boulardi 5-10 billion units - recommended as a probiotic for Clindamycin in particular against C Diff."


"I take Mentanx for diabetic neuropathy and it has been wonderful for the pain and the feeling like my feet are in fire. It didn't help with the deep itching in my foot. My Doctor ended up giving me Lyrica for that."


"I have been on tri-sprintec for 3  years now. It has been amazing for me. I have tried a lot of different ones to find which kind was best for me. It's good to talk to your doctor and try different ones because not every type of birth control will work. Not every woman will have the same experience. I took this to make my periods lighter and shorter. I lost weight compared to other ones like nuva ring. It has prevented pregnancy. I already deal with depression but for me this hasn't made it worse or better. I take my pill exactly the same time everyday. This pill has worked really well for me."


"I love My lo loestrin fe  1 year  i use is 100 % plus A"


"After several years of diverticulitis and some very severe attacks including bleeding, I gave in and medicated with Flagyl. I only took 200mg twice a day and my symptoms disappeared, relatively no side effects other than dry mouth. I was vigilant with diet and NO ALCOHOL!  Feel great but worry about re-occurrence."


"Not much happened the first few weeks of taking this drug, but the last few have been terrible.  I experienced severe apathy.  Too extreme to live with.  Is just increasingly got worse.  I stopped taking it and have started feeling better within 24 hours.  Very little weight loss."


"I have been taking generic Prozac 20 mg for 17 days now, 10mg for 10 days before that. I have been reading all of the comments and am starting to have hope! My anxiety has increased a lot since I started this, I take ativan when needed, which is every day! Other than the daily panic attacks I don't seem to have any side affects which is great! I've been thinking that maybe this drug is not for me but after reading other people experiences I will ride it out and hope that everything works out after I'm on it for 6-8 weeks. Hoping and praying it does cause I need my life back!"


"I got nexplanon inserted I'm September 2015. Had no period until December, bleed for a month and a half. Spotted or bled lightly most of the time. Other than that haven't had any noticeable or complain worthy symptoms."


"I was put on Vicidin first for my chronic back pain, didn't work then the doctor said to try injections they worked for about a month. Then I got pain so bad I couldn't get out of bed 1/2 the time and my family doctor said he didn't want to give me anything stronger because of seizure medicines I was on. I tried everything for pain, then someone suggested pain management finally a doctor listened. He put me on the Fentanyl patch. I feel like I'm 20 again. I can work, do things I couldn't do before with me kids and grandkids. This patch is a God send. I did experience heavy sweating and vomiting and dozing off till my body became adjusted. Now I still get the nodding off effect occasionally,  and itching where the patch is."


"I fell two stories off a roof last year and had a traumatic brain injury which left me with migraine headaches all the time. Topamax did not help at all & I felt  more depressed. Use  with caution."


"I have had implanon exactly 2 yrs. I loved this birth control for the 1st yr and a half. I had absolutely no period or weight gain. It was an easy and effective birth control. However last August I started having my cycle again. The bleeding was the heaviest it's ever been, very clotty, and unexpected. Often I would have bleeding every other week.  The length of the period is long, and extremely heavy with cramping! My mood has drastically changed since restarted my cycle. I have depressed feelings and often don't feel like getting out of bed. After starting my cycle back, I experienced weight gain. Went to the Gyno yesterday and since starting back in August I've gained 30 lbs. No change in my diet and I'm only 21. I'm getting this Birth Control out!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took this for the first time tonight and I am supposed to take it again at 5 AM. This is horrible.

I threw up a small portion, and the box instructions were different from my prep instructions. I made the mistake of taking it by the instructions on the box.  Within minutes it worked but I had really cut back on anything but soft foods for a few days to make it easier. The problem besides the horrible taste is that I spiked in blood pressure and have terrible muscle cramping in my upper body.  I called the Dr. and he wasn't concerned, nothing was out of the range in his opinion. It is four hours later and my soreness hasn't left and I don't see sleep in the near future. I will never do this again."


"Caused severe nausea even when taken with meals."


"I was diagnosed in September 2016 with prostate cancer, and I have been on lupron ever since, in between I had 37 radiotherapy sessions.
I have to be on lupron 2 years, but I would love to end it now.  It has done o/k at lowering PSA but my QOL has suffered greatly, along with that of my dear wife. My mental health has taken a big hit with extreme depression and anxiety and bodily I have no strength and no ED.
It works great for some men without any side effects but for others like me they can be overwhelming.
Best wishes to all on this journey. kluff."


"Had a yeast infection for about 4 days when I decided to try Monistat one last time. I had used it in the past with the burning and itching but it was mild. Holy on fire vagina!!! It feels like I used a fire brand as a tampon! They have had to change the formula. I had level 3 endometriosis and a child through natural childbirth and this stuff is right up next to those pains. After 30 min I was on fire and in so much pain! Put the box down ladies call a clinic or go to your Dr and just get the yeast infection medicine - this stuff is not with it! If your like me and googling "is this normal" or "will I die" and you've already inserted the little bead from hell, grab an ice pack and breath through it."


"This shot is horrible! I got 3 rounds of it and each time I would not bleed for a month, then be bleeding the rest of the two months until it was time to get the shot again. Well after my 3rd and final time getting it I'm still bleeding going on 4 months later!!!! I don't recommend this shot for anyone!!!"


"So I wanna know if anybody else have symptoms of body aches and feeling loss of appetite after taking this antibiotic. I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis and was given four pills at the doctor. After a day I started having joint pain couldn't eat and I feel very fatigue my body hurts. I just want my normal self back the infection I think it's gone I don't see any abnormal discharge any more but this whole experience makes me not want to have sex ever again. I am traumatized. Please everybody out there reading this let's protect ourselves from getting infections like this it's not worth our health. I just hope this pain I'm having go away it hurts so bad."


"Mirena was recommended to me to calm down increasingly 'flooding' periods (more than a year of them) and ease me into menopause.  It was inserted early July 2015 - a bit crampy but bearable.  I bled almost every day (varying amounts, but more than a panty liner would take most days) until the end of September.  Even when flow was very light, I didn't trust it.  Sex life suffered due to the mess (but no issues with strings!) I was thrilled to finally have a bleeding free three weeks - but then a period - as heavy and flooding and long (or longer!) as the ones I was trying to get rid of!!  First visit post insertion is scheduled for Nov 10 and at this point I'm very disappointed."


"I've suffered severe depression for the last 20 years. I've been on Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Celexa, Cymbalta and Lexapro. My neurologist prescribed Pristiq 2 months ago. I recently told her at my follow-up visit, "For the first time in 20 years, life doesn't suck." I wake up in the morning well-rested. My mind is clear. When I go to bed at night, I'm actually tired (no more insomnia!) and I sleep really well. I used to be a stress eater; now I only eat when it's meal time and have less of an appetite. The only negative side effect for me has been constipation, but it's manageable. I had pretty much given up any kind of hope that feeling better was possible. I'm glad I was wrong!"


"-I vomiting after alcoholic drinks.
-Overall  fatigue.
-My joints are more sensitive"


"Much better for my Rosacea than the Metrogels."


"This medication gave me pancreatitis!!! As an alternative I was prescribed  Tinidazole. After being hosptalize for a week I'm afraid to take anything. Doctors claim they don't know what else to give me to treat Trichomoniasis.. This is the worst experience of my life and I don't know what's next."


"So I first got the nexplanon in July of 2014, for the first 5 months I was fine, I didn't get my period and if I did it was random spotting (very light) but around January I noticed I was very emotional EVERYTHING made me cry. Then my period started coming twice a month with horrific cramps. Or I would spot for 2-3 weeks have a week where I thought It was over and started spotting again. I've now had it for 13 months and it does the job because I havent gotten pregnant. But that's only because I haven't been able to have sex cause I don't know when my period is going to come"


"I have had many years with pain. A combination of 3 drugs is a God send. I take 50 mg Oxycontin twice a day, 500 mg of Ketoprofen twice a day and 100 mg Tramadol twice a day. This rather strange combination has worked for me for 10 years without any problems or without having to increase the medication."


"I have only had one infusion of entyvio.

12 hours after the infusion the pain started.

Severe colic like pain. Shaking and trembling.

Huge swollen legs and feet which diuretics won't help.

Very unsteady on my feet loss of balance and joint pain.

They told me there was practically no side effects of this drug.

I have been deceived."


"When I first became sexually active, I started a one month at a time pack, (I don't remember which one) but after a few months, I couldn't take the nausea anymore. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Jolessa. I've now been on Jolessa for about a year now and I absolutely love it. I have no side effects, except for the first week after the "sugar pills." I get nausea shortly during this time, but it's nothing compared to before. My period is easy and comes and goes on the same two days every three months! "


"I was prescribed Accutane when I was 17 years old for the first time. In the beginning of the treatment it got worse but after that it just got better and better and better. I am on another 4 month course. I am currently on my 6th week and my skin has just gotten bad breakouts but I know it will all clear up. Accutane is the best thing anyone can ever do for themselves. It does have its side effects but so does everything in life. For the dryness I use Blistex medicated lip ointment and Clinique moisturizer. Stick it out. It is all worth it at the end of the day. I love Accutane."


"I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and have been on 3 or 4 pain relievers since 2008. I am now on 10mg IR x 3 daily and 30mg ER x 3 daily. I am getting very little relief; however, I have read many reviews where people taking Opana praise the medication. On the pain scale level, I am generally at 7-8 w/o the medicine and 5 or 6 with the Opana. I guess I need to talk to my provider and see if there are some different options..."


"I am a 43 yo mom of 2 (3 if you count my husband). I can't stress enough how much Vyvanse has completely changed my life. I was diagnosed with ADD after my oldest received her diagnosis about 10 yrs ago. I've tried Adderall, Concerta, & the like and even on high doses, NEVER experienced the clarity & energy I've gotten on just 20mg of Vyvanse. I've just started taking it 2 weeks ago & wish I had discovered this medicine years ago! The only issue is that this week I titrated up to 30mg and have noticed some irritability, so I think I'll go back to the lower dose.  Love, love, LOVE my new lease on life thanks to Vyvanse!"


"I am 53 years old.  I have had serious problems with the constipation due to irritable bowel syndrome, for years.  I was only able to take Zelnorm for two months before it was removed from the market, but they were the best two months of my later adult years.  No pain, easy bowel movements, loss of doughy feeling in my abdomen, less tired, and more symptoms were gone with Zelnorm.  If you can't bring it back, please find an alternative that works as well.  PLEASE!"


"Kybella has effectively eliminated the appearance of my double chin. "


"Very Effective if taken approx. 1 hour before sex."


"This is one of 2  antihistamines that works for me. This is the one that does not make me sleepy."


"I took this medicine for about 9 months for perimenopausal symptoms and birth control since I am still fertile in late 40s.  This took about 3 months to acclimate to.... Had the mood swings and nausea and headaches in the first couple of months. Then it worked quite well and actually improved my sleep which wasn't doing so well pre birth control.  However the biggest factor making me discontinue use of this drug was a big raise in my blood pressure!  I am a non smoker and a bit overweight but have always had very low blood pressure.  After 8-9 months on this my blood pressure was high. I've been off this a few weeks and top reading on my blood pressure has dropped into 140s from the 160s I was peaking at. Still, I've always had 110 or so before taking Loestrin 24."


"I'm a 47 year old mother of 4.  I've been on Qsymia 3.75 for 3 weeks then 7.5 for one week now.  I've lost 10 pounds. I also have mitral valve heart disorder.  The only side effects I've had is dry mouth, heartburn from time-to-time, and that funny feeling I get when I take an antihistamine.  It gives me a ton of energy to get things done.  I'm a Coke addict and can't stand to drink it now (love that!).  I don't feel the need to eat near as much as I used to.  I'm looking to lose 50 total pounds.  I want to get from a size 12 to a size 4 again."


"This medication in combination with other medicines gave me my life back. I had unsuccessful or allergic reactions to other meds that I had tried. I thank my doctor and this medicine every day for giving me my life back."


"After I stopped taking my birth control pill I had experienced full blown severe acne. My body was used to taking it for 7 years so my hormones have been all out of whack. I wanted to cry everyday in the mirror looking at myself being 21 years old with a pizza face. Tried EVERYTHING and as soon as I was about to give up I was prescribed Aczone. After ONE DAY I began to see a difference. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and am almost completely acne free. I SWEAR by this stuff it is the best thing that's ever happened to me regarding skin."


"I was on this  medication for 1 year at 201lbs 5'3 age 23. I was down to 158 without going to the gym ever. The first three months were awful. Dizziness blurry vision but the first month had constant headaches. After that, I ate very little and got full fast. I even quit drinking. It also helped with my depression and energy. I been off of it for 6 months and have gained 10lbs. Food cravings and depression are back. Have to wait 6 months for an appointment to get a refill. I am dependent on it."


"I am a young adult. My face had been peppered with pimples- many of which were so inflamed that they caused me pain- before I used this product.

This medicine fought the active pimples and prevented more from forming. I was still scarred from my previous acne, so I had to wait until my skin healed. The scarring is the worst part since the skin has to do its own work for that. So eventually, when the scarring faded, I found myself ogling at my amazing complexion. I am so happy to no longer have to worry about dabbing concealer all over my face!

I still get the occasional pimple here and there (though they are far less inflamed), but that's because faces have so many pores that it's inevitable. That's why I'm giving this a 10!"


"After taking the first dose I felt relieved,  but the side effects are just wooziness, stomach discomfort and some restlessness, but all these stopped after about 30mins. It sure stopped the UTI, but since my own reaction to it was not excessive, I'm OK with it."


"So far so good using Dr samples"


"I've been on Loestrin 24 for about a month and one week, and I went from 112 to 117 and my breats went from a C cup to a D cup! The breats I suppose I don't mind too much but I absolutley cannot stand the weight gain. I'm a cheerleader and I'm a flyer (the one who goes in the air) so I'm unhappy with that. I've also had some random spotting."


"I have been taking Activella for 4 months now.  It immediately alleviated hot flashing and anxiety/nervousness/irritability.  However, I think it is beginning to cause headaches. I've also had scalp acne which started when I was taking a generic form of Activella, but seems to be clearing now that I'm taking the actual brand name of the drug.  Also, have noticed I am more emotional (tear up in a second) on this medicine.  In the last month or so, I have become increasingly clumsy, dropping things I'm holding. Will update on this in 2 months."


"I take adavan for panic attacks caused by load noises or medical test and the dentist it is very effective within 30 minutes it makes me sleepy and relaxed. I get off balance and dizzy so I usually need help walking it is a great medication for panic attacks"


"Only side effect I had was fatigue. 1st viral load test was clear! I have sever liver fibrosis which I hope begins to get better now that I am free of HCV."


"I am 37 years old and have had Petit Mal Seizures since I was 2 Years old. My seizures were always controlled on Epival. However, this drug isn't safe during pregnancy so my Dr prescribed me Keppra (500mg) before we staring to try for a baby.

Keppra works well for me to control the Petit Mal Seizures. However, it has really bad side effects. It made me extremely tired and quite moody. The worse part about this medication it caused me to have 2 Grand Mal Seizures (10w and 18 w). Before these 2 seizures I have never had a Grand Mal before.  I am now off of Keppra and on Lamotrigine and feel great. I have energy and feel like myself again. Best of all no Grand Mal seizures!"


"I've been taking this medication for three and a half weeks and I lost 8 lbs. My goal is to lose 50 lbs and I hope the medication works. I will keep you updated."


"I've had this prescribed for surgical procedures, with migraine medications and when I take opioids because they cause swelling and intense itching.

THIS IS GREAT. It ends vomiting, suppresses nausea, eliminates swelling and itching. The generic is very inexpensive and works quickly. The drowsiness side effect is unlike most drugs with this caution; I can wake quickly and think clearly, no "drugged" or heavy, fogged thinking."


"I tried so many antibiotics for a sinus infection that lasted over 3 months. My doctor finally decided to prescribe Avelox because it is one of the stronger antibiotics (at least that is what she told me). Within 3 days I honestly could feel relief. I was so happy to have finally found something that worked. About 1 1/2 years later I had another sinus infection and my doctor put me on Avelox right way. Again, within 2-3 days there was so much relief. I never had any side effects that I knew of."


"I had serious acne that was causing scars on my face and after 6 or 7 months on Accutane (my doctor kept me on for an extra month). I must admit that my skin is SO MUCH BETTER! Although now that the acne is gone I see all the horrible scars left behind, I know that at least I am not getting anymore. I had minimal side effects (some chapped lips and dry skin) and I believe that a lot of the REALLY bad side-effects you read about might not even be caused by the medicine.

Now that I am off the medicine it continues to work! My chest, back and face all look 100% clearer then before. If you have bad acne GO ON ACCUTANE now. It's not worth the pain and suffering especially when there is a cure!"


"I have panic attacks and I stress myself to no end about everything, just can't seem to be calm down or assured about anything. Sometimes I don't even want to be around people or have conversations. This medicine is the best, its quick, calming and I feel warm cozy and happy again. Sleep really awesome too. No bad side effects. I take 2mg."


"I have been on this tablet for 6 months for my polycystic ovarian syndrome and I am now getting period every 28 days on the spot! But 6 months into it I am starting to feel something like a blockage and feeling nausea and vomiting, this normally happens after my dose after dinner time. I am on 1500mg a day and doctor tells me no way it could be the tablet so now have to go for a scope. "


"Literally did nothing for my anxiety. Made me really sleepy but not sleepy enough to pass out. It just made me super sluggish."


"The taste is sweet and salty, like cough medicine. I highly suggest using juice or Gatorade as a chaser after drinking the prep. I felt nauseous and like throwing up, but drank water after Gatorade. 10 mins Later I felt the effects. Do not leave your house, use babywipes or water to cleanse after every bowel motion, stay near a bathroom, use Depends if you are concerned you can't make it to the bathroom, and eat chicken broth to soothe stomach. Stay away from acidic juices because your bottom will hate you for the next 4-8 hours."


"I started this treatment July 2012, and used champix as directed for about 8 weeks, by the end I was at one cigerette per day, then I picked up one of the electronic cigarettes because I needed some thing to have bettered my fingers, I used that for one month and that was it, I have not had or wanted a puff almost 4 years, when I used champix, I had no side effects, I feel so much better..... Thanks champix"


"Took this pill at first just because I had cysts that I had to remove surgically. I'm talkin like 12cm cysts. This pill not only helps with my cysts, but I have no mood swings, my periods are controlled, my skin has never been better, and my sex life is great. No cramping anymore at all! Perfect for me!"


"I got the Implanon in April 2010. I wasn't numb enough so it really hurt. The first 2 months or so were okay. No negative changes, very light spotting for a couple of days a month. Around month 3, I started gaining weight, became very moody, and stopped being interested in sex. It got worse and worse, and after gaining 30 pounds and becoming completely frigid, I had it removed at month 7. This was 2 months ago, and I still have not lost any weight, and my sex drive hasn't increased much. The ONLY good thing about this method is that once it's in, you don't have to remember anything for 3 years."


"Have been taking Savella for 3.5 months - started because of chemo induced neuropathy.  The only side effect that I did not know was a side effect until I read this board, was sweating in head area.  I was having severe pain in both hands and arms and it is virtually gone.  Also, I have lost 13 lbs. and could not figure out what why - guess this could be the miracle for weight loss.  Very pleased with Savella, wish I had known about it two years ago."


"I can tell it's working! When ever I take the medication my pain reduces from like a 6 to a 4 which is awesome!!"


"Day 10. No side effects at all. No weight loss at all. 5'4" female, 160 pounds, 33.7% body fat. In the past I have taken phentermine with no results, Wellbutrin with no results. Will keep increasing the dose as per the rx and see if it eventually works. Doc gave me a discount card but it still cost me $70 for a month. No insurance coverage."


"I was told I had BV three days ago...took the first dose of meds and symptoms seem to lesson. Three days later all symptoms are back! :( BV is the worst! Praying it's not something more serious as it won't let up!"


"Very good drug for my pain management. Causes slight drowsiness. Highly reccomended if your doctor will prescribe."


"OK ladies (and gentleman)
I cannot believe this I LOST 13LBS  IN 5 days. I started When 6-29-15 weighing 269.. I went to the doctor 7-3-15 and weighed 256 (no way).. Im still in shock.. My husband is so scared because he never seen anything like it. I completely changed the way I eat.. I only eat grilled or baked foods, fruits and lots of water with lemon (my skin is now amazing). I eliminated everything that's not clean. I removed fast food, soda, salts, sweets basically everything that was killing me slowly. The appetite suppression is amazing and allows me to make better and healthier decisions.. I have had side effects but they are starting to subside. I do not own the a scale but my clothes are getting very lose."


"While I do believe it has lengthened by life, the side effects are difficult to deal with.  I am extremely sun sensitive, also have a rash on my wrists that doesn't go away. "


"took it after chemo stopped working.after 2 years...first 2 infusions went ok...3 days after 3rd infusion..my legs/feet stopped working..stayed in hospital 4 days legs/ feet slowly coming back..ran every test known to man,,,all normal..conclusion is a side effect of OPDIVO  now off all treatment trying to resolve...better but still some weakness and balance issues"


"I was taking this bc pill for a couple of years. This last month I have bled heavily for 3 weeks straight. It worked great for a long time so I'm not sure what happened but now I will be changing to a different birth control."


"I got ParaGard yesterday. I'm a 20 y/o with no kids who's never had a Smear done and I was super nervous about getting my ParaGard in after reading a lot of reviews. I chose ParaGard because it is hormone free as I was having not great experiences with other pill forms of birth control including hair loss, as well as my thyroid acting up. I went to PP to get the IUD. I'm not going to say it was painless but not at all as bad as I had read. It felt like a huge cramp and the pain went away the second she was done which took about 2 minutes. It's extremely quick and worth it. I cramped all that day but then when I woke up I felt fine with a light discharge that is very normal. 10 years is worth the cramps."


"I had a bad kidney infection and was prescribed this in the ER to take 3 times a day for 7 days, I hardly had any side effects at all. The only ones I had were vaginal itching which felt like a yeast infection, really bad nightmares, and some sneezing. Other than that I love this and would definitely take it again, kidney pain was gone within 2 days."


"I had Nexplanon inserted in December 2014 after giving birth to my first child in October 2014.  The first couple of months were rocky.  Off and on periods.  One day I was fine, the next I would bleed.  Mostly light bleeding but some heavy.  Now, October 2015, I have not have any spotting or bleeding a since April (AT LEAST) and all of the sudden I start bleeding today.  I have had bad weight gain with this method.  And call me crazy (but I know a couple others  that have experienced this as well)....I feel pregnancy symptoms sometimes.  I have actually felt what feels like movement as if I am pregnant and the baby is kicking.  Weird.  Nausea.  Horrible headaches.  I am considering switching to another method.  I have tried pill and Depo."


"I had really bad dark marks from acne scarring . My dermatologist perscribed me this and not only did it clear up my acne it cleared up my dark marks as well. My face is so clear and I can actually leave the house without make up and feel confident. :)"


"It's been pretty good so far. My face has almost completely cleared in one month. I have had no stomach problems."


"I have been suffering for years with my lower back and degeneration disease in lower back. I have been on everything imaginable from Lortabs to Roxicodone. Today I was given 100mg Demerol along with Lortab 10's. I feel like I'm living now instead of just existing!"


"No seizures"


"I've been suffering from various back and nerve issues for almost a year now; 2 bulging discs and sciatica. Over the holidays I was unable to get in to see my primary care and ran out of my medications, resulting in a trip to the ER. The ER doc gave me an injection of Norflex and an rx until I was able to get in and see my doc.

It has worked amazingly well. I've had minimal side effects taking it twice daily and within a half hour of taking it, my back spasms completely stop. It's been quite a relief."


"After suffering from bulimia for many years and not being able to control my binge eating I started taking Fastin. I only take 1 1/2 pills a day (I'm only 115 lbs and not looking for significant weight loss) and that is enough to help me fight my urge to stress eat. In fact when I was taking 2 pills a day I found myself forgetting to eat. I still feel a little jittery after taking them. "


"I was put on Linzess a few weeks ago. I have struggled with chronic constipation for many years. I have tried every OTC laxative with no luck. I didn't think this would work. For the first week, it didn't do anything for me. I was losing hope. Then by the 2nd week, it was creating softer stools to be passed. I had a colonoscopy a couple weeks ago, and I had to take bowel prep, which cleaned me completely out. I have also switched to a gluten-free diet, which has helped greatly (and I honestly didn't think it would). I take Linzess every other day now instead of every day. It still works for me. However, it works a lot quicker than it did prior to the colonoscopy. I don't have to run to the bathroom, but I can feel it when it kicks in."


"I got the Liletta March 2016 after I had my daughter. The procedure wasn't too painful for me and was quick. When I first got it my periods was light and had spotting here and there. Since November of 2016 my periods have actually stopped. Personally I love this birth control and glad I got it."


"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."


"Initially, this medicine was a godsend. Burning pain finally fizzled away. Muscle pains, didn't help as much. Still got numb and weak as well. The real problem came months later when I realized I was having memory problems. Had to wean off it. Memory loss was permanent. Chunks of time just gone. I still think because of the state of pain I was in I would do it over. Maybe the pain made me block out the time. I wish I would have just risked stopping it sooner to see if the nerve had healed. I still take them when I am desparate for relief. But just one maybe two until the zingers stop. Oh ya, nerves were damaged from electricity. Hand to my neck and face."


"I was diagnosed with RA in October 2010 and have been on Plaquenil (200mg 2x/day) and Celebrex (200mg/day) for 3 months now.  I've noticed a slight improvement in my hands and fingers as far as morning/evening swelling goes but the stiffness and pain still persist.  I go back to see the RA doc next week and am hoping he can either increase the dose or add something else to the mix because I'm still not feeling all that great."


"Taking this medicine in conjunction with Lamictal. Doctor gave it to me because I wasn't eating/had no desire to eat for a week and I wasn't sleeping at all, and also for depression.

This drug gives me crazy hunger cravings I have been on it for about  2 1/2 weeks now. When I first started it I was eating everything. Butter toast is still my favorite. I notice I crave salty and sweet foods. I am sleeping all of the time and I am on 15MG at bedtime. I have to drink coffee so I can get up and function if I have nothing particularly important I sleep until 3 or 4 o'clock. So it definitely has helped with the insomnia and the not eating, but it makes me feel high."


"I have been taking Advair 250/50 for going on 3 years and I love it! My breathing oxygen level stays in the high 90's and I haven't make a trip to the ER for not being able to breath after I started it. Highly recommend it even tho it is pricy"


"I have had acne for quite some time so I decided to start ortho. It's only been 3 days in and I have so many extra pimples on my face all over, and huge pimples at that. I'm hoping it will clear as its starting to get into my system but so far I'm dreading starting this pill and am thinking I need to just stop as it is not helping my self esteem or my skin what so ever....I have more scars which take so much time to heal/ lighten. Unhappy"


"This pill is great for preventing pregnancy, that's it. The side effects that come with it are terrible. This pill made me turn into a different person. I would cry for no reason, I became overly sensitive, get mad for no reason, and had a constant bad, depressed, helpless feeling. If someone said something mean, even in a joking manner it felt like the end of the world, when it should be something to be shrugged off. I took this pill for 4 years and the thing that made me realize the pill was the cause of the problem was that I missed 3 in a row and I felt amazing, like a normal person again. I am now switching methods and feel way better."


"I was prescribed atenolol for an irregular heartbeat and it worked like a charm. I have not had an episode since I started it. I also noticed a pronounced calming effect as well, which I wasn't expecting but has been welcome. The only side effect I notice is an increase in urinary urgency."


"Zoloft was very effective for about 2 years then I became immune to it and my bipolar depression returned."


"The medication indicates to see a doctor before taking this medication. I thought I had a YI and used monistat 1 and had a very bad reaction. Well, that's because I had bacterial vaginosis. I am now paying for the consequences to not seek medical information before taking monistat 1 that is the blisters and sores that ooze. Always talk to your doctor before taking meds, says right on the box. To clear my BV or rule out BV and YI, take a test or see the Doctor"


"I had a parathyroid removed the end of May. One of the complications I was having was shortness of breath. A month after surgery a pulmonologist followed up with tests and said I have beginning COPD. She recommended Spiriva. The first two weeks I started feeling better. Then I started feeling tired all the time, my eyes seemed puffy, my weight was going up, peeing frequently with urgency, dry mouth, cuts healed slow, developed heartburn, my joints all felt achy, sleep was poor, and I was retaining fluid and needing lasix at least twice a week, and having tearful moodiness. Labs showed high glucose. I have never been a diabetic. Now regular testing the last 4 days show I am prediabetic. Apparently 1 in 10,000 can become prediabetic "


"I gained 60 pounds and had to go off of it because of that, it also made me tired and have panic attacks"


"It's the best medication I ever taking for anxiety and an instant antidepressant. I have taken it since I was about 21, and it still works great.  "


"I'm quite depressed and bad at schoolwork. When I take Concerta especially high doses, I do much better at school and my depression goes away. It feels like I'm completely stoned and I have no emotions. I also lost 10 pounds in a month going from 105 to 95 it's kinda cool being this skinny, my friends think I'm anorexic but I'm just not hungry."


"The side effects of this medication far outweighed any benefits.  I honestly didn't notice any decrease in migraines or other types of headaches.  Besides that, I couldn't eat a thing (lost tons of weight), my face felt numb, my hands and feet tingled, and I was so tired during the day that I found it impossible to be productive at work.  Plus it makes you forget words!  I know another girl at work who went on this and she's fine!  I guess I just couldn't tolerate it.  My doctor ended up putting me on Cymbalta and it prevented migraines for me.  Cymbalta is a great antidepressant because it has given me no side effects whatsoever!  And normally I get the sexual side effects from them (I've tried a lot)."


"Knocks me out!  Which allows me to sleep, at least for a few hours until it wears off.  I could not take this during times I need to remain awake, but when I want to be able to fall asleep, it is wonderful!"


"Doxycycline worked great at first, my skin cleared up super fast, but then after a while I still continued to get a few zits here and there. One of my greatest complaints is how sensitive it made my skin to the sun. I am outside a lot and I used to never get burned, but since on the medication I get severely burned on random places like my nose, hands, ears and feet? I get burned so bad that 2 hours in the sun (with some sunscreen) would result in scanning of my nose and ears. I have recently switched medicine because of this side effect, but if you don't go in the sun you should love the product!"


"Before being put on movantik, I was only having a bowel movement some times 3 days, some time 5 or even hit 10 days once. Then I finally was put on movantik and now I'm going every 2 days and at least I'm not in pain when I go to the restroom."


"I love this product. I have been using it for the past 2 years it works like a bomb. no forgetting to take it, no weight gain like many of my friends have had who are on the pill. Just wish there was a cheaper version of it."


"I have been on qsymia since 7/20/16 & I have lost 48 lbs!!!! I have had little to no side effects."


"Suppresses all stress on my nerves I sleep all night without any interruptions.  If you have to wake up early in the morning, take it early night hours. I've been seizure free for 8 years since I've been taking clobazepam"


"I have been using Saxenda for a month now as started Nov 4, 2017. My starting weight was 242 pounds and I'm 5'10 male. Today as of Dec 4, 2017 I weigh 230 so a -12 weight loss in a month. Definite reduction in appetite as feel full with about half or less than of what would normally eat before. Exercising lightly, mostly walking but getting a treadmill and free weights to soon to start to increase intensity of exercise as now at full 3mg dosage. No real side effects only at start was feeling tired but went away after first week. Will update every month as goal is to get to 170 pounds."


"I am taking 25mg in morning. Working up to 100mg over few weeks going up 25mg every 2weeks, iv only been taking it 4days and tbh only thing I've noticed was first day felt rough but since I've felt the odd nausea no other side effects, maybe because I've been so busy haven't noticed them, I'm actually lookin  forward to upping dosage, I want to prevent migraines I dunno why I didn't go get help sooner I've suffered for years, but to me being overweight I'm also hoping itl help with the weightloss I've been struggling to lose for over 4yrs I'm fit and healthy and regular exercise and healthy eater yet can't shift so hoping this helps"


"UPDATE: Today marks 90 days I've been smoke free!!!  and around a month now I've been off Chantix completely. No desire to smoke. Food taste amazing! I can BREATHE. I haven't gained any weight, but I've joined the gym and started lifting. I feel GREAT. Wouldn't have been possible without Chantix. I weaned myself off of Chantix the last few weeks..made me apprehensive just stopping it cold turkey. Chantix gave me some weird dreams, nausea...nothing too serious. Much better than COPD, emphysema, lung cancer, DEATH from continuing to smoke.

If I can quit, YOU can quit. Chantix saved my life. (31 y/o..been a smoker since age 13! Pack-pack and half a day when I decided to quit.)"


"I've had it for about a month now and it is the worst birth control I have every experienced. I've had my period for about 3 weeks now and it's honestly the better side effect out of all I've had so far. It started with anxiety me and my boyfriend have been together for about 8 months now and ever since I've been on it it's totally screwed everything up. I could control the anxiety until the depression came it got worse from there. I now have bipolar mixed with all of those other side effect and it has caused me to not trust my boyfriend and I feared he was going to break up with me. He did because I was being completely untrustful. We are now back together but I plan on removing the implant TOMORROW"


"My main problem with this medicine was it made me have ZERO interest in sex, and a ZERO ability to have an orgasm.  So instead of taking this medicine, I recently went to see my doc and informed her that I wanted to get off it.  She really tried to convenience me to stay on them, but I insisted that with my new eating habits, exercise program (and lack of holidays), I was doing much better, mentally.  She insisted that it was due to taking the medicines that I felt better; but to be honest, I've always had a positive attitude about life and the atrophies that occur.  But during the holidays when she prescribed the Zoloft to me, I was depressed. "


"I found this medicine, along with therapy,  to have helped me a great deal. I was originally given Prozac, and it made me more anxious than I was to begin with. A friend of mine told me about Effexor, and I asked my Psychiatrist to switch medications. Thank God. Effexor was a God send for me."


"I got this about 6 or 7 months ago & they did not tell me about any mental side effects . I was aware of the bleeding situation but I never stop, it'll go from light to heavy out of nowhere. I am always having mood swings , and angry over the littlest things in the world with my , now ex. I feel like I'm going crazy with this thing and I realized it's from it because of all the other reviews . I have become highly depressed as well , more suicidal thoughts have been coming through my mind. I finally decided this is what is causing my wreck of a behavior and I am getting it taken out. I do not wish for anyone to go what I am going through because of this stupid implant. I'm horrified I ruined my shape and my loving self."


"I love this medication. I've always used abreva but decided to get a prescription because abreva took forever to kick in. I recently had an outbreak because of stress at work. It started with one blister. I put the ointment and it went away in 24 hours with a minimal scab. I then had another outbreak 2 days after. This one also went away immediately with a minimal scab. The same weekend I got a bad outbreak where my lip swole up as well. I applied the ointment at night. The next day by 6pm the swelling was gone and the blisters became a tiny scab. I LOVE this ointment."


"My first baby was born at 31 weeks due to placental abruption.   My doctor recommended Makena injections with my second pregnancy.   I took the injections until 36 weeks.  My only side effect was pain and itching at the injection site for several days after the shot.   I had contractions at 34 weeks but did not dilate.  Started having signs of labor a week after my last shot and delivered at 37 1/2 weeks."


"I've been on the pill for 3 months. It's effective but major Negative side effects. I've been bleeding pretty bad between periods (seems to be worse when I drink coffee for the record). Along with the spotting I've been getting cramps that feel worse than my usual period cramps. I've also been getting headaches MUCH worse than I'm used to that seem to last forever. Periods have been lighter which is a plus but obviously all the blood that should be draining isn't because of all the spotting. It isn't all bad but I'm switching for sure."


"I was on clonazepam about 3/4 years ago for about 6-1 year.... Best moments in my life I was very socially active had many friends, went to school graduated from school. I was able to sleep very well. The reason I had to get on the medications in the first place is because my anxiety was acting up, I couldn't sleep, I would behave very wildly at times. I took 3 mg a day . 1 mg in the morning and 2 mg at night. I became a Christian and I tapered of the meds, I believe meds should be taken short term less than 6 months . I wanna get back on klonopin 2mgs at night 3 if they say so but just 2 is fine with me. I've been through much trauma I'm currently on gabapentin and it's not helpin as klonopin gabap is similar to klonopin."


"The patch causes itchiness but after a while it goes away. I noticed my breast are more full and perkier which is nice but I did notice I am more emotional on the patch and a headache here and there. This patch works great other than that. I recommend this to someone who doesn't like using pills and to someone who prefers a much easier and simple method."


"I have now had my Skyla for over a month. I was on the pill before and had to switch due to migraines caused by too much estrogen. Insertion wasn't bad-if anything just a little cramp added to your normal pelvic exam. After insertion I was very dizzy and super nauseous. I laid there for about 25 mins feeling sick and having terrible cramping. Soon after I was fine! Mild cramping for the first few days and then for the next week (lessened over time). I bled for about three weeks after insertion- different everyday. Sometimes more than others. Just had my first cycle while on Skyla. Very light, but lasting about 7 days. had a few breakouts but may be stress related too. Feeling great so far!"


"I'm happy with this drug. I've tried many epileptic drugs over an 18 month period which did not work for me. My doctor prescribed me Toprimate for my seizures. I've been taking 25mg per day for 2 weeks then increased to twice per day for 2 weeks and now I'm on 50mg, twice a day. I've not had a seizure in over a month which I'm very happy about! The negative side effects I get are blurred vision, clumsiness, headaches and tingling in my hands and feet. I was hoping to lose some weight as I read some reviews on the Internet on how Toprimate helps with weight loss- but I haven't experienced any Weightloss yet. Maybe it's because I'm on a very low dosage. I'll have to wait and see."


"Been using Patanol for years and it worked great until it seemed like my eyes were getting worse. I thought I had extremely dry eye and tried an eye lubricant. After using it for little more than a day, my eyes were bad. Itchy, burned, constantly watering, blurred vision, headaches and I realized That the Patanol recently had been doing the same things. I haven't used any eye drops for about 24 hours and although I still have symptoms, I'm just carefully wiping my eyes, and cold compresses help and trying to avoid anything that strains my eyes. Like typing this. I'm really happy with the Patanol, no problems at all until recently.  seeing all the symptoms of pinkeye.  Patanol is the best thing to treat. I just don't want to get worse again."

"I have been on Implanon for 9 months now.  I feel very confident in its ability to prevent pregnancy.  I have had no weight gain, very little acne, no cramps or bloating, and no mood swings.  However, I have been on my period for 9 months.  In addition to the bleeding, I also have a very low sex drive, vaginal dryness, and it also drys out my eyes irritating my contact lenses.  I will be getting my Implanon removed next month due to the abnormal bleeding I've had.  I feel very protected against pregnancy on Implanon, there is no "missing a pill" or "taking a pill late" that used to worry me.  Having the Implanon inserted didn't hurt at all, the doctor will numb your arm before.  I did have some bruising for about a week after wards."


"Began 800mg in May 2014; 10 months into treatment. No new mets at this  time. High blood pressure began three weeks into treatment, a good sign in that it demonstrates the drug is working well. Hand foot syndrome, initially intense pain , but now under control. Weight loss due to loss of taste  and appetite, a nutritionist can help. White hair. This is considered the least toxic targeted therapy drug for mRCC, do all you can to stay with it. If it is working for the first year you may continue to get excellent results for years to come. This is currently considered the first line therapy for mRCC. Take at night to reduce the stomach discomfort."


"I have been on it for a little over 1 year.My crohns is better but I now have Severe Liver disease.I had a ct scan 10 months ago with mild fatty liver.A recent ct scan revealed Severe Liver disease.I am so annoyed! Be sure to ask questions and do your research.I would have rather lived with crohns than with a ruined liver!"


"I'm 36, have 1 daughter, 14 years old. I am recently divorced and my ex husband had a vasectomy.  I have not had to worry about birth control up until recently.  I am in a new relationship and I needed birth control.  I have several friends who have the Mirena and absolutely love it!  I got the Mirena early June, 2011. I was not on my period at the time, but I did start a week later as scheduled.  It was short, not too heavy, but I have been lightly bleeding ever since (almost a month straight)     It is more annoying than anything.  Everyone keeps telling me to give it another few weeks or so and it should stop altogether. If I keep bleeding, I don't have to worry about pregnancy anyway. "


"For me Implanon has been the best thing I ever got in never had any problems with it or many side effects. stopped my periods totally but I don't mind that at all. After getting my second one in today and happy out. Definitely would recommend it as I was put on different pills before I got Implanon in and they didn't agree with me at all I felt very sick and bloated and stabbing pains I was delighted when found out about Implanon :)"


"I couldn't poo for days.. Then I took these pills at 8pm and went to bed at 11pm I then woke up at 1:30am with the worst tummy pain ever I got out of bed and had a little spew. Then I sat on the toilet it began coming out then  until 7pm that night. I have to say the pain was very bad but it was much better then being blocked up and my bowel motions not coming out. I would definitely take these again I feel much better now"


"Before you read everyone's comments, understand that mental illness is not all the same and isn't fully understood. (With your doctor) you have to experiment which out works best for you. All medications take a few months to work for their full potential. Take them exactly how your doctor recommends them and take them exactly on time. I know it's hard but be patient, you'll get their and it'll change your life.

I've been taking Lexapro ( escitalopram ) for a few years now. Before taking it, I tried everything in the book. I went from sweaty palms, forgetful thoughts, sweaty armpits, loss of sleep, overwhelmed with anxiety, stomach issues...etc to feeling sharp, happy and not depressed. I take it exactly within 24 hours everyday."


"This stuff cures my depression. I take 1 mg a day (I cut a 2 in half). I have been a pill abuser since the 1970s and I am bipolar (I did not want to accept this diagnosis so I got 4 second opinions). I feel NO desire to abuse Suboxone and I take LESS than prescribed. I used to run through 5 Norco scripts with some additional purchases on the side. My father and sister both committed suicide so I have an extensive family history of bipolar disorder.

I have no plans to discontinue this medicine, my doctor agrees. SUBOXONE SAVED MY LIFE! IT IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE but for me, it is worth it."


"Started taking in 2007, weaned down to approximately 60 mg. per day (average).  Has been the best antidepressant thus far, way better than Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac.  Fewer side effects, and manages my mood disorder."


"I promised I would write a review if it worked and it did!! My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom slipped off and neither of us realized until after, so he came completely inside me. I took the pill an hour and a half later. I was on no birth control (dumb I know) and I was in the middle of my cycle so odds are I was ovulating. About a week later I had my period, it came a week early. We are both freshman in college and are no where near ready for a baby so I am beyond thankful for plan b. I've never been so stressed and scared in my life, but it worked so relax!!"


"I am allergic to penicillin (break out in a rash) and amoxicillin (go into anaphylactic shock) so my doctor prescribed me this for a bad bout of tonsillitis. Within the first two pills (500mg twice a day) the swelling has gone down, and although the pain is still there I feel these pills are really working well for me. As for side effects I have had exactly zero. I take them with food and so far everything seems to be working well.

It might be worth noting that during this bout of tonsillitis I have suffered severe insomnia, fever and hallucinations so even if the antibiotics did cause side effects I would not know! Brilliant drug."


"Vimpat has some effectiveness for my partial seizures, but it is accompanied by other difficulties:

1. It gave me double vision early on. We had to balance my dosages of Vimpat and Lamictal to straighten out the problem.
2. I struggle with memory problems as a result of taking it. Sometimes I need to ponder extra long to even be able to recount what I did or learned just a few days before. And I'm not always successful.
3.Vimpat has intensified my emotions, especially in causing me to weep. I used to go a whole year without shedding a tear. Now I often can't even go a whole day without crying a bit. I don't think it's depression. I usually am moved to tears over something I deem wonderfully moving. Just totally out of character for me."


"This medication has done wonders for my anxiety and associated anxiety side-effects such as sweating, etc. I've tried everything in the book and this old-timer finally has done the trick."


"Voltaren gel is very helpful and good for any type of pain.
ALWAYS ask your Doctor to prescribe. It works well on my pains. I have a spine injury, had 4 back surgeries, also in my shoulders I have bursitis pain and a rotator cuff tear.
Voltaren also comes in a 12 hour patch, it works well too."


"I go to the gym late at night after work. I take a high stimulant pre workout powder prior to my workout which doesn't allow me to sleep till hours after my late night workout. Took 2 unisom pills and knocked out within 20 min. Good solid sleep"


"First, let me say that i am so thankful for biologics to treat psoriasis and make possible to live and enjoy life without scales covering 100 percent of my body.  Enbrel worked great for years.  It stopped being effective.  I tried stelara and humira but didnt work for me.

Thank God for Cosentyx.

 After the loading doses and first month there after, I am about 98 percent clear. This is the clearest I've been in a long time.

So easy to administer, zero pay with assistance copay  and clear skin... with no side effects yet "


"I have degenerative disc disease and recently blew a disc in my neck which was excruciating.  I've dealt with lower back disc related issues for 30 years, but this pain in my neck left shoulder and arm was beyond anything I could cope with. I wasn't sleeping and functioning was near impossible.  The doctors tried me on Lyrica which was bad for me, then Cymbalta which made me lose a lot of hair and extreme muscle cramps (not to mention the really bad withdrawals), but just a week into taking 200mg of gabapentin before bed I am virtually pain free!  I've gained a little weight, but that's about it.  My fingers and hands are still tingling but the pain associated is almost gone and most definitely tolerable.

I LOVE this stuff so far."


"Great help on stopping pain medicines. This works wonders if taken right."


"Ladies, let me just first say that the mind is a very powerful thing, and just like you I read all these reviews and was terrified.  I told my doctor I was nervous of how awful it was going to feel and he assured me that it was all in my head.  He was right, it was nothing like the reviews I have read. I counted how long it took, it was less than 2 minutes.  AND I counted how long the severe cramping lasted during, and that was less than 20 seconds.  Yes the cramps felt like a very powerful menstrual cramp and it was not comfortable, but it was so so so short.  I left the office feeling completely fine, just feeling like I had menstrual cramps.  Very little spotting the next few days.  Don't let the reviews scare you!"


"I take them for back pain,and for a acdf surgery. I take them 4 times a day and they are great. But your body will build up a tolerance over time. But until then they work so good! Takes some time to kick in though. And will make you constipated. But for pain the side effects are worth it!"


"I have severe obsessive compulsive disorder.  I had been on Lexapro, AND I was doing well after 2 years I went off it.  I was doing well for a few months, and then my OCD spiraled out of control.  I started taking Lexapro again 3 weeks ago.  Last week I was still doing horribly.  My Psychiatrist put me on 2 MG of Abilify and it seemed to kick in for me the next day.  I'm not perfect, but my OCD thoughts are much less. I'm not ruminating.  I don't have rituals, just obsessive thoughts.  They're practically gone in one week.  This medicine seems to have done the trick for me thus far.  I have just started CBT therapy too.  My appetite has increased.  I don't know if it's actually from the Abilify."


"Like many other Topical creams for skin cancer, It has a burning effect. Dryness then flaking on the area's applied. It helps when the flaking has stopped and your skin has had time to repair the dead drying and sometimes a bit of bleeding in my cases. but seems to get rid of the skin cancer. So for about a week you will look a little scally best used before or after any family photo's."


"Best med in the world for sick kids "


"I was diagnosed with 4 baseball sarcoma tumers in my liver July 15 2014. Did 6 weeks of GEMS/Taxol and after the scan showed two more tumors in the liver and four now in my lungs. My doctor put me on Votrent and scanned me once again after six weeks. All the tumors in my lungs have shrunk half their size and one tumer in the liver shrunk half it's size as well and all the others in the liver are dying from the inside out. Praise The LORD !"


"I got Implanon inserted in January of 2009 after I had my son. I weighed roughly 200 lbs then. I breastfed for 7 full months and lost about 20 lbs in doing so, and I had NO periods at all during that time. I am closing in on the halfway point of having this in and I do get quite a bit of dark spotting and irregular periods now with cramping like I used to get when I was on no birth control. I have PMDD, so my psych doctor always has me on some antidepressant. I am on Wellbutrin now and have been since October of 2009. I am now down to 148 lbs. I haven't been this thin since I was in my early 20's (I'm 33). I do walk and watch what I eat, but nothing extreme, and nothing unusual. I'm now getting sore breasts and hoping that the next 18 months go okay."


"I have been given Vicodin for severe migraines, back pain, wisdom tooth removal and kidney infection with kidney stones. It never fails to make me feel nauseous, give me headaches, and make it incredibly difficult to function at times  BUT it did take away my pain. After my last ER visit I asked for something other than Vicodin, they gave me Percocet and it works well with minimal side effects."


"I was prescribed Cipro ...the whole time I was sick in my stomach and couldn't keep anything down. I couldn't sleep but it seemed to be working for my urinary tract infection."


"I've suffered from chronic insomnia and severe panic attacks since early childhood and was given many medications but they didn't help me. I eventually was put on Seconal sodium (secobarbitol) by a new physician and I sleep well and don't experience panic attacks anymore. I was taught to take my Seconal under my tongue with Nutra-sweet and on a four hour empty stomach. Also, I never experienced withdrawals when I was without this medication for two months. Seconal has made my life much better now that I can get restful sleep and no longer have panic attacks."


"Caused terrible itching and pain."


"I have been on Alpha-nine SD for 31 years .

It's been good for preventing bleeds and excellent for stopping initial or on going bleeds."


"I got the Implant in March 2015 right after I decided to stop using the shot as my birth control method.  for the first 8 months, I LOVED it. No side effects that bothered me, I did not get any periods (which was what I was used to from the shot). And then for some reason in December 2015, I got a period that lasted for 42 days. YES 42 DAYS straight! Some days were heavy spotting, or light bleeding and the rest of the days were HEAVY & PAINFUL. I also have been breaking out NONSTOP since Christmas, my acne has never been this AWFUL. I am ready to take this implant out of my arm and go back on the shot. :( Sad because I was hoping to stay on this for 3 years. Not worth all the breakouts and never ending periods."


"Valium has saved my life. I suffered from "neck tightness" that almost drove me to the point of insanity, which no doctor could diagnosis or understand. I thought there was no solution and had lost all hope. It turned out to be a psychological thing (anxiety disorder) but the Valium immediately alleviated my symptoms. I take the Valium when I feel my anxiety symptoms flare up. These days I don't need to take it that often, knowing its just anxiety"


"I've had my implant since 4/28/16. It's now June 28th. Honestly I wanted to try something that have the benefits of birth control without the hassle of remembering to take pills because I constantly forget. But I've been miserable. I've only had a two week period without bleeding or spotting. To me the spotting is substantial enough where I'm uncomfortable to have sex with my fiancé and mind you our second baby is 4 months old so we can count how many times we have had sex. We are getting married in just over a month and I'm stressed that I would still be bleeding by then smh. I honestly wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, however your experience might be different."


"It takes about 45 days for it to start working and probably 60 days for it to fully work.  However, it does help prevent pain associated with Interstitial Cystitis (IC). I didn't fully appreciate it until I couldn't afford the medicine anymore.  If you call the manufacturer, they can help you get a discount card to save on the cost."


"I guess I am the black sheep amongst the flock. I took Daklinza and Sovaldi which made my HepC undetectable, but since taking those I have  a hand and lower forearm problem. Started on the hepC meds around May of 2016. Hand issue started May of 2016. I would get scabs on different places on my hands. Sometimes the spots would bleed...looked like severe dry skin. Went to 3 dermatoligists, a top notch liver doctor, my family Dr, and the Gastro Dr that got me on the HepC meds. None of the above can figure out what is going on. It is now Sept 2017 and basically the same symptoms are going on. Now I have a severe rash on the lower part of my forearms, so severe you could strike a kitchen match on them. No one seems to be able to help."


"I take two tablets before I go to bed and drink plenty of water during the day."


"Helps me to focus and organize thoughts. This drug works very well with moderate exercise."


"A few weeks ago my physician gave me a sample of this to try since the Syymicort I had been using for more than 2 years was no longer as effective as it had been. I've been using this once a day now for about 3 weeks and have had considerable relief. It did take me a couple of days to get the hang of using this new style delivery system. It's really easy to push the delivery button before you get your mouth over the respimat properly ."


"I took plan b 2 months ago, 5 days before ovulation, and 5 hours after the incident. A week later, I bled for 5 days like you should after plan b, then had another period a week after that. I didn't have any side effects until just this past week, and my period has been 11 days late, I just got it a few hours ago. This past week I've had extremely sore breasts, dizziness, and many other early pregnancy symptoms along with the late period, so I was really freaking out. Overall, yes plan b works, but it can be scary that I didn't feel anything until 2 months, which lead me to believe that I was pregnant. So only take this pill if you really need to, and don't take it frequently because it really can mess your body up and scare you."


"After taking 3 pills, I experienced chills, tremors, nausea, vomiting..had to go urgent care. They changed to Clindamycin. Now I am taking Levoquin and Clindamycin. Just have mild diarrhea."


"Adderall XR 20mg, doesn't help me at all.  I can't tell I took it.  The manufacturer is Activas Pharm"


"I contracted herpes 3 years ago at age 38 and was absolutely devastated after having a fun and fancy free sex life my whole adult life. I felt like my life was over. I took a natural antiviral which helped block outbreaks from eating foods high in arginine . But as my job got very stressful, the natural antiviral couldn't block that, and I was getting a breakout every few weeks. I suddenly felt like I had no control. And I was fine until I'd get an outbreak, and then it was an ugly reminder of the person who gave it to me. I went to my doctor and got 500mg per day and it really was a lifesaver! It's great for suppression and I recommend. It gives self esteem back!"


"I'm recommending this to all my family and friends I love this product."


"I got Implanon 3 months ago. Even with an above average amount of bruising after insertion, it only hurt when I put weight on my arm and it only lasted for a few days. I got my period a few days after insertion.  It lasted 7 days and was fairly heavy for 5 of those days.  This made me nervous that I was gonna be one of the unlucky people who never stopped bleeding, but it's been over 60 days since I've had any bleeding.  So if you do have some heavy bleeding at first, that doesn't mean you will bleed the entire time you have it. That was my biggest concern before getting it. I have no negative side effects and it's so much more convenient than pills.  My experience so far has been fantastic!"


"71 y/o male, been on Apriso for 17 months.  Was on Asacol, PRN,  since 1st dx of "Crohn's colititis"  in '03, refined to Crohn's, with stricture @ splenic flexure (caecum) in 2013.  In June drove 4000+ miles without butt cushion and have exacerbated hemorrhoids with minor bleeding X3 mos.  Saw anesthesia yesterday and ECG looked better than 40 years ago, but worried about H&H (rectal bleeding), liver and kidney enzymes (long terms NSAIDS) and C-reactive protein (indicative of autoimmune antecedents).  If labs are OK, will go next week for UGI endo (1st time), and bottom peek, with possible repair of hemis.  My Apriso co pay went from $47 to $169/mo.(donut hole) and I wonder if we might switch back to Asacol?"


"It worked okay, but the half-life for me wasn't enough.  It seemed as soon as the Ativan wore off, the anxiety came back swinging.  "


"I have been taking this same dosage 50 mg for 3 weeks and I take Xanax 3 times a day for anxiety/panic.  Its been so far so good. I'm really trying to be optimistic about this one."


"I have had lots of energy and felt good until recently. My PSA initially went from 66 to 0.1, after 20 months it has started to rise, now it is 0.8 The medicine was easy to take.  I did have a decrease in bone thickness. My bones have now

shown and increase in mets."


"I started taking Contrave on July 26.  I have tried many diets.  I have a very hard time sticking to any program very long, only to gain the weight back plus more!  I felt effects with Contrave the first day.  The side effects I have had has been some nausea and lack of appetite, which I consider a good thing.  It has helped me not to over eat, snack, or eat from being bored.  I love to cook, and I have been able to do that for my family without over eating.  Lost 5 pounds in 7 days.  I am excited and hoping I have found something that will finally work for me.  Will see my doctor in 4 weeks."


"I've been on Nuvigil for 4 years and it's stopped being as effective.  I'm currently on 125 mg twice a day, and 37.5 mg Adipex twice a day. The Adipex has absolutely helped my weight (down 14 lbs in 15 days, 40lbs to go) but not much help with the wakefulness.  I'm falling asleep in the afternoon and driving is a nightmare.

It takes A LOT for insurance to cover.  Without all the hoops my doctor has agreed to jump through, it would be $685 per month."


"Prezista is the best I have ever had. It has some side effects but is good. I feel a lot healthier than I did before I start taking them."


"I have been on the pill for about 3 weeks now and I recently started getting some side effects. My breasts are really sore (hurting) and they feel really tender. I feel bloated and I even look bloated. I also noticed I get really nauseated at night. Also my contact lenses just recently started bothering me. They are getting dry and they feel like I have something in my eyes but I don't. My face has cleared up though! I just really hope these bad side effects don't last too long cause it really sucks and my body doesn't feel the same! :("


"I have the rarest form of Gastrointestinal Disease that causes me to have constant nausea and this medicine works! I highly recommend it for anyone who is suffering from nausea and vomiting."


"About two weeks ago I was completely drunk with one of my good friends and things escalated quickly. I woke up the next morning and panicked and had my friend rush to the store to get the pill. I took it with in 7 hours of unprotected sex. For the first two days I was so dizzy I had to lay down for a while and I felt nauseous. Then for about a week I had almost a kind of ovulation pain and I thought I was for sure pregnant. The whole time I had severe breast pain it was very very annoying, but then about two weeks after taking the pill I started a day early and I am very relieved. This pill works wonders don't worry, relax, it will do its job!"


"The patch causes itchiness but after a while it goes away. I noticed my breast are more full and perkier which is nice but I did notice I am more emotional on the patch and a headache here and there. This patch works great other than that. I recommend this to someone who doesn't like using pills and to someone who prefers a much easier and simple method."


"Was on Levothyroxine and I noticed some improvement, but still felt symptoms.  We increased the dosage and noticed improvement, but still not quite right.  Over time my symptoms returned and I was continually complaining that my dosage was not right, even though my numbers were within normal limits.  My doctor recommended the switch to armour.  The first week I wanted to die, I couldn't stay awake, I had constant headaches, I was irritable. After 5 days, I was ready to call the doctor and get taken off...and then MAGIC happened happened. Week 2 I had energy, I started to sleep better, no headaches.  So far so good.  I am hopeful!"


"Ive never have a YI before tried monastat 7 day for the 1st time n my vag is on fire as well. Im actually fine thru out the day but i use the meds n bam fire. Unfortunately im gonna use meds til the end hopefully it does the job."


"I've been on Brisdelle about 5 weeks and I absolutely LOVE it!! I noticed the difference after about 4 days. I was a complete mess before starting Brisdelle (moody, depression, major hot flashes, crying, etc) I now feel like a brand new woman. I am so appreciative that my doctor prescribed this for me."


"It took me a bit to find a birth control that worked for me, but out of them all, tri-cyclen lo was the worst experience. I noticed weight gain in my stomach in the first 2 weeks to the point where my jeans wouldn't fit. I thought to myself that if this is the only problem, I will work with it. I was wrong -over the first 2months I became frustrated over the smallest things, lost motivation to be active, and became depressed that I wouldn't want to see anyone. I would cry myself to sleep not understanding why.. this pill took over my body (emotionally)-I became a different person and everyone in my life noticed it too. Getting off this pill was the best decision I made."


"I had such high hopes for this med to work out but it simply does not do it for me. I have suffered with ADD my entire life and after being over medicated on anti-depressants, bi-polar meds and anxiety meds my neurologist put me on this. I did not want to take another drug that could possibly become addictive however now that I have been on it for 8 months and get almost no relief I do plan on switching to something different. It may work for some but did not do well for me personally."


"I was being treated in the ER for a bad gallbladder, and Pancreatitis. First they tried Morphine. It made me drunk but didn't touch the pain. Next she shot a big load of Demerol into my I.V. In ten seconds all my pain was gone! I only gave the Demerol an 8 because within 24 hours it stopped working for me. My Doctor then put me on Dilaudid. That fixed me good! I was on it for three days with some other I.V. Medicines to kick it in. He then took the gallbladder out and sent me home with two weeks worth of Dilaudid for pain. All these drugs are great but be careful."


"I'm 37 with no children and have had mine for 5 years.  I was having really bad abdominal cramps/diarrhea while taking oral contraceptives which went away when I stopped taking it, wanting an effective contraceptive I figured I would try mirena. The insertion was rather painful - I got all hot and watery mouthed, thought I was going to throw up, the cramping and spotting lasted about a week. My periods got lighter each month until they stopped completely - so wonderful. I am due for replacement this month, I started spotting about 4 months ago which seems to time with a monthly cycle, I am assuming this is as the medication is wearing off."


"Been taking Lexapro 10mg for 4 weeks now. It started to help a little after just 2 days. Now I have very few guilt feelings, nearly no depression, no suicidal thoughts, no obsessing over negative things. Not too much help with social anxiety, but does help anxiety around angry people.  Unfortunately, during PMS, it barely helps me, but once that is passed, I'm okay again. Makes sleep WONDERFUL and easy.

Side effects-sleepy off and on during the day, mild, treatable, headaches the first few days."


"I am 22 year old female and taking Zoloft for social anxiety. About a day after starting this medication I began clenching my jaw really tight. My jaw starting aching after a couple of days because of the clenching. I had a panic attack on the train 3 days after starting this. I had nausea and a loss of appetite. The medicine did not really ease my symptoms in fact I would get random occurrences where I would feel extremely nervous and find it difficult to breath. My breathing became very shallow. I am weaning myself off it after 40 days on it."


"I'm posting after reading all the negative side effects of Implanon. I had Implanon inserted over a month ago and have not had any terrible side effects. I had light spotting the second week. I noticed food cravings but it is nothing unbearable. Before starting Implanon I had begun weight watchers and an exercise routine, I've been sticking with it and have continued to lose weight while on Implanon. The insertion process was not a big deal either, the lidocaine pinched but after that the only feeling was pressure during insertion. Slight bruising and tenderness after but only for a a few days. I hope this post reaches out to someone because I almost backed out last minute due to all of the negative posts on this product."


"I have been on Kariva for three months now. It has been the first birth control I have tried and it seems to work in the area of birth control as I have not become pregnant. However, I have had my period for eight days every two weeks and finally figured out that my depression systems may have been caused by it; I've been terribly moody, depressed, and cry way more often than normal once I started taking Kariva. Sleep disruptions, loss of appetite, and lower sex drive have also been symptoms I've experienced."


"What a nightmare this has been for me. After 3 months of using rogaine, my desire to have sex has gradually dissappeared. It has been 2 months since I stopped it and nothing has changed. This side effect is not even listed as a possible reaction. And how long has this been on the market? I simply cannot believe that this poison has not been removed from the market or asexuality mentioned as a possible outcome of this. I have no idea when I will recover and if I will recover. I'm seeing a dermatologist soon. I hope he doesn't simply tell me that this is all in my head or not related to rogaine because he will not like my reaction. I am terrified...I don't know what to do about this. I plan on contacting lawyer about this"


"very helpful pain reliever
"


"Took plan B, no side effects. This is my second time taking it in the course of two years. The first time I took it although I felt Nauseous and dizzy."


"Does not help dry eye - which is severe. Restasis did not either - but did not hurt as much on application.  Vial very hard for old hands to  squeeze so have to hold it with opening facing down and give quick jerk to get a drop out and often a drop gets wasted. You are way too stingy with amount of medicine inside vial and should use better quality plastic.

I hoped so much that this xidra would help, have given it many chances when eyes extra bad, no improvement noticed.  Probably will not  try  again - was given first month free.

Thankyou. Delivery needs to be made user friendly."

"Took for lower back pain. Definitely made me drowsy, dry mouth and throat. It did not relax me. I found myself tightening the muscles all over my body to compensate for feeling so tired and weak to be able to move, stand and walk with the pain. Did nothing for the pain and was so drowsy I had difficulty focusing through it to function. I did lay down to try to relax and breath through and ended up passing out for over 4 hours. I guess it was good to get some rest but not having a choice about it...very uncomfortable with that idea."


"After using Paxil and clonidine and experiencing insomnia and lack of appetite my Dr prescribed zyprexa. After reading the reviews I did not take it for months and just kept it in my bathroom. When nothing else would control my anxiety I finally broke down and took it. Within twenty minutes I felt so much better. My obsessive and racing thoughts stopped and I could actually sleep and eat. I take 5mg at night. It does not make me sleep all day. Day two I noticed cravings for carbs but I find drinking a full glass of water takes care of that. You won't gain weight unless you don't control your eating which you absolutely can do. Don't give up and don't keep suffering. olanzapine can help you but maybe start with a low dose and see how you feel."


"I have been taking amitriptyline for about 9 years now. I always take 10 mg. I read there are people who take a very high dosage.
In a high dosage it does not work for insomnia but for depression. It is better to start with 10 mg.  When you start taking them you can have side effects, but these will disappear in time.
When you are very busy in your head, it is possible that it won't work that night. But don't give up. I take it about 2.5 hours before going to bed.
But don't use a high dosage, it won't work for your insomnia. It is an excellent pain killer as well, in a lower dosage.
And with 10 mg it is very easy to stop taking it, I did that a couple of times  without any problems."


"I have an enlarged prostate and it was suggested I try Cialis for some of the symptoms, frequent urination, problems starting and finishing, urgency. I was given a 10mg tab and I decided to take half. I wasn't in any hurry for results but discovered that even though I wasn't complaining of erectile dysfunction I definitely had some symptoms, sex with my wife has been very rare during menopause but hadn't been all that satisfying when it happened. I figured if Cialis worked a little on both fronts I was ahead of the game. I couldn't believe the erections I started to have, I thought I was still able to get a good erection but this medication is amazing. It has helped both the prostate symptoms and the erectile dysfunction I didn't know I had."


"For as long as I can remember, I have had issues with falling asleep and remaining asleep. This occurred in childhood also. It seems to be a family trait. However, my doctor prescribed Silenor and what a difference this pill makes! To have always had problems sleeping and then suddenly, a pill changes the problem. Over the years I have taken, Lunesta, Ambien, Tylenol PM, Melatonin, Benadryl...all stopped working within a period of 3-5 months. Not so with Silenor. I read some posts stating that Silenor has caused weight gain. I have not noticed such, but I do not keep a weight scale in my house. For the present, I will only say that for a chronic lifetime insomniac, I wish that I had this pill 44 years ago. Age now 49."


"I have only been on this medicine for about two weeks at 20mg but it has completely changed me! It's awesome! I suffer from Depression, Anxiety, and ADD and was prescribed Lexapro to help with me depression and anxiety, it bumped up my mood a little but I still had depression and anxiety symptoms. The first day I took Vyvanse it kicked in after an hour and automatically I was more awake, happy, confident, talkative, and focused! It helped me so much with college when before I was failing almost all my classes I am in such a better mood now LIFE IS GREAT! The only down side so far is it makes me really hungry at times and I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through out the night but it's worth it!!"

"I actually thought this was the birth control for me since I forget the pill. So after having my second child I put it in for 7 months. I have my period its not heavy its light with lots of discharge! Stops when I shower and overnight, wake up and it starts again. In 7 months it stopped for one week! Abdominal pain, a pinching feeling, my anxiety is worse to the point my right side some parts have numbness, headaches, sore neck,  nausea and vomiting. I'm sick of just having my period I can't wear tampons because my body pushes it out! Can't wait to take this device out and gain my normal body functions back."


"I was prescribed Epiduo in July 2014, two summers ago. I had never had bad skin in my life, and that year (19 y/o) my forehead began breaking out with horrible bumpy texture, blackheads, and whiteheads. I caved and went to a Dr... After a month of using Epiduo my skin literally transformed. I remember looking in the mirror one day after 4-5 weeks of use, and I started crying due to my joy and boosted confidence in my skin which was finally clear again. However, starting in November of last year 2015, my skin started breaking out again like it did in July 2014 so I started using epiduo again. I noticed that for a week or so I ran out of it and my breakouts started coming back IMMEDIATELY. For this reason, only 7/10. No permanent results."


"Helps stop the pain of feeling constipated, and my stool isn't runny."


"I was a little skeptical at first, given the fact that I went in for a regular Pap Smear and walked out with an IUD. Overall, the insertion was painful, but tolerable. It was really fast. I never cramped before Skyla, so the cramps are my only complaint; but nothing Tylenol can't fix. After the insertion I cramped for a good 12 hours. I got it a week before my period, so I got my period a week later, everything was normal except the bad cramps  for about 10 mins the day I started my period. After that, everything was normal. No spotting, no emotional moods, no weight gain. It is as if I am not on anything. No babies! Which is the ultimate goal. So far I am happy. Periods are lighter and sex drive is through the roof."


"Absolutely LOVE this birth control!!  I had mirena previously for 2 years and had the most awful experiences with it.  As soon as I got nexplanon all of my symptoms from mirena disappeared.  I have been more energetic, have had no headaches or pain whatsoever!  Absolutely recommend it."


"Horrible stuff. Horrendous burning and itching. Worse than the infection was without treatment. I will get something else from the doctor. No over the counter yeast infection treatment for me anymore!"


"I'm nearing my 3rd weeks and I feel my cravings have increased. I take one in the AM and one in the PM. I am always hungry which wasn't the case before staring this medication. The first week I had a severe headache that awakened me at 4 AM for 5 days in a row. Week 2 I am very sleepy which actually helps because I'm in bed by 10:30 PM where as before I'd be up until after midnight.
I'll report back after week 3 to advise if there's been any improvements."


"My doctor prescribed levocetirizine for reoccurring hives about 3 months ago.  The first night I took a full dose  (5 mg) I slept like a rock; didn't get up until the late morning.  I now cut the pill in half which has eliminated any drowsiness.  It has helped the hives and I haven't experienced any unusual side effects other than when I forgot to take it for a couple of days and starting feeling nauseous.  So if/when I no longer need it I will stop using gradually instead of suddenly."


"Great for what it is meant for but a huge risk factor for dependency. If you can your better off taking Lexapro."


"I started off at .50 mg then to 1mg before bed.  I had many issues going on in life and I was having trouble falling asleep.  This helped in the beginning, but my dose is going up and up. I admit, I take this more than I should, so I understand there's an addictive nature to this.  Just be careful, and talk to your doctor if you notice that.  The best part of this drug; I get a good night sleep and I'm not waking up 3x a night."


"I have been bleeding for 42 days. When I was at 31 days bleeding I went to my doc and he gave me 10mg provera for 10 days, I started the pill on a Thursday and Saturday and Sunday no bleeding so I was super excited! Monday I started bleeding again and have been ever since which is now 42 days. Had bloodwork and ultrasound just to be told all is normal. Anyone else experience this??"


"Had my second of three Euflexxa injections yesterday afternoon and am finding that my knee feels better with each shot.  The injections result in a bit of a pinch followed by brief pressure, but are not painful.  Seven years ago, the same doctor who is administering the shots, scoped my knee to shave off bone spurs, vacuum bone chips, perform a lateral release and micro-fracture.  Ultimately, the knee is going to have to be replaced, but I'm hanging my hopes on Euflexxa for several years of additional relief before taking the jump to surgery.  The downside is that my insurance company, Regence, will no longer cover Euflexxa beginning July 1, 2015.  I intend to write a letter recounting my success to appeal for continuing coverage."


"I was on cyclessa no problems, until my Dr. Switched me saying that they no longer carry it. April is awful I'm breaking out like a middle school boy and I'm itchy all the time. Just want to know how many people had the same symptoms because my doctor is telling me in order to switch b.c. I have to completely buy a new prescription because breaking out and being itchy "are not side effects"."
