"I've been through 3 other types of NSAIDs before I was prescribed Celebrex. It works great for me, and the side effects have been pretty mild compared to the previous ones."


"Started taking this about a month ago to level out my moods. I noticed difficulty focusing at first but it stopped. I'm also having tingling hands, feet, and face occasionally but with the way this medicine works it's worth it. Since I've been on it I'm like a new person, this medicine is a God send. Try it."


"I was prescribed venalfaxine and after 10 days I experienced terrifying symptoms. I stopped taking it immediately, to the annoyance of the psychiatrist who had given  it. He then prescribed mirtazapine which I took at 15mg for 2 weeks with some success.  After 10 days on Mirt I had three nights of heigtened anxiety, although nothing as bad as before taking the mirt. The psychiatrist then suggested upping my mirt to 30mg. I did this for 2 nights and felt dreadful. Last night I reverted to 15mg and I intend to stay on it. I think it is worth remembering that taking drugs that 'mess with our heads' is not like taking pain killers. If 15mg is good it does not mean that 30mg is better."


"First let me say taking this was not bad as one would think in reading some of these other reviews.  I mixed the medicine with iced tea and it didn't taste as bad as I expected.  I then followed it up with two 16-oz cups of iced tea.  Within a half hour I had to go to the bathroom and after a couple of hours I was able to sleep through the night.  About 4 hours before the procedure I repeated drinking the medicine with iced tea and two cups of iced tea.  Had to go to the bathroom a couple more times and then I was able to relax before heading off for the procedure.

I would use this prep in five years when I have my reunion with the doctor."


"Hey there, I wrote a post just a few days in but now I'm updating. Its been 2 months. Honestly, the first month/2 months I had random terrible cramps that would last approximately 2 minutes (more like contractions than menstrual ) they'd come out of no where and happen daily. I'd sweat and grip my fists. Also I was bloated and just mildly cramp (like the day before your period) the whole time. Not attractive. Anyways, funny enough after a few days spotting this week my actual period has started and is 100% PAINLESS. I'm serious. Crazy. No bloating or pain. If you can get past the first uncomfortable month or two, things will be great. Btw no pregnancy or uncomfortable sex for either partner. I don't feel it, he doesn't either."


"Suffered from heartburn for a couple decades.  Used to treat with regular doses of tums, Prilosec, and every other over the counter acid inhibitor. Nothing worked for more than a day or so.  I have been taking dexilant for 18 months now and have yet to have a single instance of heartburn. It's a fantastic remedy for those regular heartburn sufferers."


"I was on just 20 mg for a week, I didn't really notice anything. I think I had some mild side effects nothing too serious. Then I had the worst migraine I have ever had in my whole life. I decided to go up to 40 mg and so far I haven't really noticed anything still. I'm going to give it a few weeks to see if it makes a difference. My neurologist said I could try Depakene (valproic acid) but I'm too scared. Can someone please advice?"


"I've been dealing with alcohol dependence for over 15 years. Have tried counseling numerous times on advise from previous doctors but always returned to drinking. Finally found a doctor who identified my patterns as worthy of medication. I've been on naltrexone for 3 weeks now and I feel like I have my brain back, my thoughts are healthy, I can go out to see bands with my mates and not feel like I want a drink, I have fun and enjoy a sober night. This medication is a blessing and I would recommend it highly. Small side effect of constipation, but nothing a little extra fiber can't help with."


"Using for over 5 yrs.  great for depression and feeling energetic."


"-1 -- do not purchase this OTC yeast meds. I got 3-day M. for a self diagnosed yeast infection. 3 day prefilled applicators. First two days were not as bad as tonight, the 3rd dose. I completely agree with every entry here "MY VAG IS ON FIRE" insane burning feeling. No relief. I tried to pee, and it hurts - it's definitely after applying the meds. And this happens immediately.
Dropped to the floor from the burn and discomfort. I don't believe any medicine in the world should cause so much suffering before it works or gets better. Do not try this unless you are trying to hurt yourself.
Sincerely - Oakland CA."


"I have only been on this pill since Sunday (taken 3 pills so far) but so far it's great. My acne cleared up after the first night and I feel so much more relaxed and at peace (that might be because I always have a pleasant drowsy feeling which I never heard of happening on a birth control pill). I sleep really well now, my skin looks great and I have no side effects. Only thing is if I don't take care of myself by sleeping, eating or drinking enough water, I really notice now whereas before I could just ignore it. Besides that this pill has been great so far. Will try to post an update because I'm not sure how it will be once I get into the other pill colors (or the next few weeks)."


"I have been on Humira for 11 months now, and have seen no long term or overall improvement with my HS. During the first month where the dosage was very high (4x at week 0, 2x at week 2, week 4 starts the 1x a week dosage prescribed for HS) there was a noticeable improvement, but it quickly went away and my skin kept (and keeps) progressing while on Humira.
Injections in the tummy are much less painful than injections in the upper thighs, and leaving the pen out for 30-60 minutes before injecting probably helps (I have never injected without doing this, so I can't say either way). Injection site soreness, at least with me, is fairly minimal and goes away within a few hours.
I haven't really noticed any other side-effects at all."


"I had problems with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) fainting around my period. I was tested negative for anemic. The doctors tested everything and everything was negative. I started the shot in March and it is now July and I gain 10ish pounds (which is common) and have not fainted at all! Great medicine. Works different for everybody."


"Favorable experience. I was too fat and my doctor prescribed it: Tenuate 75mg. Lost a lot of weight rather quickly probably due to the fact I wasn't hungry at all while taking Tenuate 75mg. As a truck driver the added bonus of staying awake and alert helped. No bad side effects & I was able to stop taking them without any withdrawal problems. I took only one each night before starting work. It was great. Ask your doctor first about a prescription."


"I have been on Belviq for 60 days now and haven't had any success.I didn't need a weight loss pill until my doc prescribed me Zoloft and I gained 15 lbs in two months. I looked and felt extremely bloated after being on zoloft, so my doc prescribed Belviq.The first week I had horrible headaches but the cravings were still there.After the first 30 days,I called my doc about feeling bloated.She prescribed me a water pill.Meanwhile, I had NO weight loss on Belviq after the 30 days.After taking the water pill I lost 7 lbs of water weight.I went back to the doc,  and she said that I had lost 3lbs on Belviq and I needed to continue taking it.It's my 60th day on Belviq,I've gained weight and still have cravings.Glad it worked for some people!"


"I have been taking Lexapro for about 5 years now after 2 fairly major "breakdowns". It has been an absolute Godsend for me. At one point the doctor thought I could come off it but I fairly quickly found my feelings dropping again and went back on it. Now I take 5mg a day and I am fine."


"Great."


"This drug literally saved my life. Before I started taking it, there was no quality of life left. I would get so nervous around people I couldn't go out into public at all, had severe panic attacks all of the time... I've dealt with this my entire life, and it took me 17 years being put on every anti depressant/mood stabilizer/even anti psych meds except anti anxiety meds (because doctors are too afraid to prescribe them...we have a lot of junkies here) I finally found a doctor who understands me. I take 1mg xanax 3 times a day and 1,200 mg of lithium a day. This medication has changed my life. I no longer struggle with my life, I feel like for the first time I have total control and it feels great."


"I'm a 22 year old female who was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive subtype following my freshman yr of college.
I've been taking Vyvanse for 3 yrs now (initially 30 mg, now 50 mg) and finally feel like I'm living up to my potential. For the first time ever, I am able to stay organized, complete tasks and actually show up on time!
My only complaints are lack of appetite throughout day (ravenous at night) and the desire for a cigarette for the first 2 hrs after it "kicks in" (never crave one when I'm not taking Vyvanse).

"


"This has been my 5th contraceptive and I like it the best.When I was on nuvaring and cryselle I developed vulvar vestibulitis (similar, but not vulvodynia).My GYN thought that I had chronic yeast infections for about 2 years and she finally realized it could be the hormones causing this painful condition.Since sharobel has no break in the drug (no sugar pill week) my horomones levelled off. I am almost cured of the vestibulitis. I have noticed a little weight gain. No hair loss. Some back and facial acne but NO PMSING! I always had strong mood swings and because I now rarely get a period I do not have ANY PMS MOOD SWINGS! I highly recommend to anyone with terrible mood swings. The only con is I have trouble getting to sleep and waking up."


"This medicine has helped me be more normal. I'm not unstable at all unless I skip my medicines and I'm even in university although it's very hard on me. When I take my Lamictal if I did an all nighter I go straight to bed and miss class so it does make you tired but I wouldn't recommend missing your medication for more than one night. Lamictal really helped me lead a normal life though. It's a great mood stabilizer and helped me have no relapses at all. I'm on Risperdal, Paxil, Lamictal and Geodon right now but trying to get off Paxil and Risperdal completely cause it's made me gain a lot of weight."


"I am 24 years old and I have had 4 blood transfusions since I was 18 and no doctor could figure out why I kept bleeding so much on my monthly (which would last 3 weeks at a time) So on my 4th blood transfusion I finally saw a doctor who wanted to help figure out what was going on with me, after some tests and a D & C he put me on medroxyprogesterone tablets once a day to control my bleeding. I have been on it for a few days now and I am hoping that it helps my situation, it seems that my only problem is that I have a really bad hormone imbalance and I have tried birth control in the past that really didn't work to help my situation. As for this medication I hope that one day I can live a normal life and someday have kids."


"Hey everyone, i thought i was losing it until i read these reviews. The first couple weeks on this were ok, then i have been spotting...which leads to heavy bleeding...to light bleeding...but now this has been going on for 3 weeks. I thought it was finally ending and today i had heavy bleeding at work. Through my super plus tampon and all over my dress. Yep awful. My dr. Told me it may take 3 months to adjust. Im beyond miserable. This pill sucks."


"I am not much of a prescriptions type person but I tried this medicine and at 50mg each night. WOW! I am feeling normal for the first time in 20 years. My insane thirst and aches are gone (most days).

The side effects are severe constipation and all my old injuries are flaring up.

I don't mind though.

I'd rather not have bowel movements and a bad ankle than Irritable Bowel Syndrome. "


"Fosrenol takes some time to get used to. It's a white chewable and tastes like chalk but it works great at reducing phosphorus.  I've tried 4 different binders and it's the only one that made a significant difference in my lab results."


"Since my twenties I would have anxiety from time to time. In 2003 my mother passed away and my anxiety came on to the extent that I thought about suicide. My Dr put me on Sertraline,  a packet to start 12.5mg, 25mg, and then 50mg. While the first 2 or 3 weeks I still had some anxiety, and for maybe a month or so my emotions were flat, eventually I felt normal again. I can even drive on the interstate without fear after years of struggle. I have been on Sertraline for 14 years now, and although I still have some issues with sleep, I feel normal most of the time. It takes a few weeks for your body to adjust, so hang in there if you can."


"SOOOOO glad I finally went online to read reviews!!!!' I'm not the only one!  I pick up this birth control to find the had changed, but the sticker said it was the same medication? What a load of rubbish!! I've seriously gained 5 or more pounds this week"


"I have always known I was intelligent and a doer, but I could never finish a project or class work without starting another(2-3 really!) projects. Therefore I would always get depressed and feel worthless, I couldn't handle small talk and had extreme anxiety when I had to go to church because I couldn't sit still for more than 20-30 min without wanting to burst. My mom always found ways to teach me to calm myself down in different situations but she didn't understand how bad it was. She also didn't believe in medicating her children. I wish I could describe what my first 5 employers said about me when I left their companies. I will just say this, Adderall XR 20mg once in the morning has seriously made the difference in my life."


"I had Skyla inserted 4 months ago. I took two ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. I felt a sharp pain as the IUD was inserted and experienced cramps throughout the day. The next the day, they were gone. I did have some sharp cramps sporadically throughout the first two weeks I had the IUD, but they subsided. Since then, I've had no other real side effects, aside from lighter periods and I've noticed my hair seems to shed more than it used to. Overall, I'm very happy with the IUD so far."


"Slight sting but then cool sensation with immediate relief, almost like moisture drops to dry eyes"


"My "faithful" boyfriend of 4 years passed on this horrible infection. We both got tested at the start of our relationship and both results came back negative. After going through weeks of pain while urinating and a sore throat I decided to get tested. I was prescribed a single dose of 4 250mg tablets of azithromycin and 2 200mg tablets of suprax. I was advised to take the dose evenly throughout the day, 1 hour before food. I took each dose 1 hour after each other and ate something small inbetween. I had no pain in my belly, no upset stomach or any of the common symptoms but for 24 hours later i had a mild ringing in both ears. I got retested 2 weeks later and everything had cleared up and the discomfort eased the day after i took the tabs."


"I took this medicine starting on a fairly low dose, then gradually adding higher doses.  I decided to take it for my generalized anxiety disorder. It had little to no effect on my anxiety despite being on it for months.  I know it works for some people, it just wasn't for me."


"It works extremely well but when they say cramp free that's a lie :("


"I had been taking vyvanse for a little of a month now for adhd and binge eating. it has worked well so far. I'm able to concentrate and have a little more energy. I felt no side effects at all,and I'm one who is scared to take a vitamin. I was on topamax for binge eating and it was the worse experience in the 37 years of my existence. I had already managed to loose a little weight on this so far."


"I was switched to Norvasc from another blood pressure medicine about a week ago. I am not sure if its helping yet for my blood pressure but I am not liking the side effects. I have had a migraine everyday since I started taking it."


"Was currently taking Lyrica but having too many electric sensations.  Now on Savella for Fibromyalgia & neurological problems.   Really like it!!"


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


"I have been on the Depo-Provera shot for a little over a year now and I must say I love it! I did not have to pay a dime out of pocket since my insurance covered it, so it was free. Also, before starting this I took the birth control pill Aviane and I sometimes forgot to take it on time, so that's the reason why I chose to get on the Depo since you take it every 3 months. The Depo is very effective and is great preventing pregnancy, I barely get periods anymore, and the unwanted hair on my body started going away.  I noticed that my hair grew longer too, but I don't know if it was because of the Depo shot or not. Other than that I will continue to use this form of birth control and I highly recommend this to other women."


"Excellent.  Cleared up large acne blemishes in less time than expected. Within two weeks, skin was significantly clearer. Side effects were minimal. No red or dry patches."


"I had been on Lyrica and Zoloft. My doctor had me wean off them and then started with Savella.  My muscle pain is much improved and I have only been on it for 2 weeks.  The 'brain fog' I was experiencing with the other medications is going away. The most irritating side effect I have is hot flashes, which could also be caused by weaning off Lyrica and Zoloft.  I hope those go away soon."


"I got a yeast infection for the first time a couple days ago. So I went to the store and bought monistat 1. I would absolutely recommend this to any girl. An hour after using the medicine I felt some leaking and irritation So I used the cream. With in four hours of using the medicine I feel a million times better. I will definitely use monistat if I ever have this problem again."


"After taking 6 mg Invega for 3 years, I asked my physician what was making me gain so much weight....He told me it was the Invega and suggested I stop taking it...So I stopped taking it the next day! That was horrible advise (to quit cold-turkey) but I lost 40 pounds in 2 months. I kept the weight off until I developed psychosis/delusional thinking...After about 6 months and a suicide attempt I am back on it but shots only. Within 2 months I gained the 40 pounds back and gained an additional 40 lbs, making it a total of 80 lbs gained. Time for something else! I am in pain from bad knees & can hardly walk, now....Great mood helper but terrible on the body!"


"I'm 28 with two kids I just started adipex and I love it all ready. I am  waiting to see results. I work til midnight and stay very busy. I'm 224 and can't wait untilIi see how many pounds I lose. I would like to get down to about 170 thats my goal."


"I have been on Losartan with Atenolol for 6 1/2 years after triple bypass surgery.  With proper eating and exercise, the results have been very good.  My blood pressure is well maintained in the 120/130 over 64/76 range.  I am 69 years old and find that low sodium diet and limited meats, along with walking exercise is an excellent combination. GET THE WEIGHT OFF AND START WALKING 30 to 40 minutes and cut the TV off!"


"I originally took this for three months a year ago.  It worked great during the time with minimal side effects.  Went off of it with no problem and had no heartburn for quite a long time.  When I had an acid reflux episode last fall, I took it for about a week, where all these weird side effects happened.  Developed lower right back pain, joints kept cracking when moving, and the occasional stomach pain in the lower left abdomen.  Am disappointed since it was the only thing that really helped my reflux."


"I have had excruciating pain for 4 years. I used from fentanyl patch to morphine sulfate CR. The change is dramatic, no third day withdrawals. Have 24 hr coverage, not for 48 hours. Living in the South, the auto's temp rises to 140 in the car and the patch is not meant for dramatic temperature changes."


"I have been taking Zoloft for a few months now. I started taking it for anxiety. I was having panic attacks while driving. It is a lot better now that I am on Zoloft. I no longer get panic attacks while driving. I'm glad I started taking it. I even pass up the big trucks which is something I would not do before I was on Zoloft. I'm definitely happy with the medication."


"Lost 8 pounds in the first five days!"


"This has been the best medicine for lifting my mood from severe depression due to bipolar. I have come along way. If you have not tried this I recommend it highly. I do take this with cymbalta, but I was on it years ago by itself and got good results. Give it a try."


"Excellent!"


"This medication has changed the life of my 15 years old with Autism. My son suffered from years of screaming the whole night. He takes 25 mg along with 2 mg clonozepam at bed time and this worked miracle to us."


"I have had this birth control for over a year now, and for the most part I love it. Very effective and I never get a "real" period anymore. What I mean by that is whilst I still bleed it's not like anything I've experienced before. I will only bleed every 3-6 months, but it's only spotting. And this spotting lasts for about a month straight. I hate how long it lasts, but at the same time, I'd rather choose that over a full week of heavy bleeding. I've had a long history of depression and anxiety, but this medicine in no way affected that. I did have a problem with some acne around the one year mark, but other than that it has never given me any problems. Overall my experience has been positive. I have and will continue to recommend this."


"I suffer from IBS, and by suffer I mean between alternating IBS-d & IBS-c.

It's a fun combination, said no one ever.

In the last 5yrs, IBS-c symptoms are the most prevalent. Recently, I experienced SEVERE constipation (nearly 8+ days). I was terribly bloated, my abdomin was distended, had gas pains (under each side of my rib cage), and even chest pains.

I took dulcolax for women at the onset of this situation. It barely worked. It did however cause me to curl up in the fetal position on a hotel floor room (I was traveling for business) for over 2.5hrs while grabbing my stomach in agony due to the severe cramping it caused. Cold sweats and crying out for my mom (at 33yrs old) accompanied the pain.

So imagine my hesitation when my parents urged me to take M.O.M. while visiting for the holiday.

Even with the fear of being curled up on the bathroom floor in my childhood home- I gave into my concerned parents recommendation of taking M.O.M.

Night 1 - I was scared of cramping (even though the label clearly states - stimulant & cramp free) so I only took 45ml vs. 60ml prior to bed.

I woke up and had success! Multiple BM's but still felt (knew) I was constipated.

Night 2 - knowing I had not successfully passed everything- I took 60ml prior to bed.

Within 2 hrs I had multiple (I mean multiple) BM's and still am today - over 36hrs later.

I cannot say enough about M.O.M. it will most certainly become my go to - if this should happen again (which I know it will). It's effective and I did not experience any negative side effects! No cramping!"


"By far the greatest medication available. Especially if you take it on the first sign of your migraine and close your eyes for 5-10 min. It will take care of the pain so quickly!"


"Caused major depression. Was on many strong medications for years before reading how Yaz could be the problem. Went off Yaz and depression disappeared. No more strong medication. No sex drive while on pill. Very dry during sex. Also had a terrible scarring breakout after coming off of it. Only gave it two stars because I did not get pregnant so it "did its jobs.""


"So I am in month 3 of having nexplanon and I honestly can say I really like it not having to think about when to take my pill or  if I took my pill.  Yes starting out I got cramps and I have had a light period for two weeks.  But considering my last birth control had an 18% chance of getting pregnant this is implant is so much better.  My skin does break out a bit more but I started washing my face twice a day and it is going away.  My boyfriend understands what I am going through.  I can barely tell I have it in and have had no other problems such as fatigue,  weight gain,  or headaches.  Everyone's experience is different but I will probably stick with this until I am ready to have children."


"I have been on this medication for about a month but had to stop. I gave it a 5 because it his HIGHLY effective at getting me to stop smoking. It wipes out any satisfaction that you get from smoking and makes it borderline unpleasant. Unfortunately, I had severe side effects. After about the third week I noticed a pounding in my head and neck and my blood pressure was 160/100. This high blood pressure continued until about 36 hours after my last dose. Incidentally, I had also cut my dose way down to .5mg a day. I found that I was getting the same results with a low dose."


"After two months on the shot I started to bleed, spotting and breakthrough bleeding is not uncommon but this was much more. My doctor kept telling me to stick it out that it can take up to 12 months to stop, after 13 months of almost everyday bleeding we decided to call it quits. It does wonders for some but didn't for me."


"I am 17 and I have had pretty moderate acne since I could remember, and pretty severe acne on my back for last four or five years. I asked my dermatologist to start me on accutane as I've had two friends who sware by it. The first month I was on 40mg Claravis, my side effects were dry lips, skin, and scalp, nose bleeds out the wazoo, and weird rashes around my elbows and hands. But the results were incredible. All of my back acne was gone within the first week. The blackheads on my chin vanished. Although it made my face breakout slightly worse, I was warned that would happen. I am now on month two 60mg Myorisan and the side effects are slightly worse this month. also, it is a bit pricey. But still, very happy with this medication."


"I have been on the Mirena for 10 months now. I am going to take it out as soon as possible. The cramping has indeed gotten worse and I bleed at very odd times; sometimes very heavily with clotting and sometimes lightly. It interrupts sexual activity from the bleeding and I run back and forth to the doctor because I can never find it. Honestly, it was good in the beginning, but I feel like these symptoms should be gone by now. Just goes to show everything isn't for everyone."


"I was prescribed 37.5 mg of Effexor (raised to 75 mg after a week) after going off Zoloft, for depression, GAD, and Panic Disorder. I took it for about 2 months and it was horrible. I had terrible insomnia and when I managed to sleep, I had night terrors that resulted in me waking up multiple times in the middle of the night sweating through my sheets. My depression became so much worse, suicidal thoughts/self-harm ideation more rampant, and I had panic attacks at least every second day, sometimes more than once a day. I had a public nervous breakdown before I finally went off it and was prescribed Escitalopram instead. The difference was like night and day. Effexor is definitely not for everyone."


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


"After two days my sight was restored. It was terrific except it did not last more than a few weeks. Had the same experience with Eylea."


"I have had the paragard for six years and I don't regret my decision for getting it inserted. I absolutely love it! No hormones..it hasn't caused me any side effects that I'm aware of. It did kind of hurt when it was inserted, and I cramped the day of. I spotted for about two -three days but after that I was fine. I took birth control pills for years and after having the paraguard for six years I will never go back to the pills.  I have normal menstrual cycle..it isn't too heavy..and I don't cramp every month; however some months I do. Unfortunately I have heard of women getting pregnant while on the paragard but not everything is 100%. Most of the time..the paragard does prevent pregnancy and I would definitely recommend!"


"This medication has literally saved my life!! I was severely depressed and had horrible anxiety and almost committed suicide. The first week on this drug was awful and I was very sick....then a miracle happened. After only a couple of weeks I suddenly realised that I felt 'normal', my thoughts were clear and organised, I was able to laugh, focus, I didn't feel like crying anymore, my fun-loving personality was shining through once more and I became a better version of me. Everyone has noticed and commented, I am now a great person to be around. I am able to work and eat and sleep and function like a normal young woman and it's all thanks to this amazing drug. It really has given me my life back."


"I was diagnosed with General Anxiety, Social Anxiety and panic attacks about 17 years ago. I was prescribed many different medicines, but what has worked BEST with my panic attacks and over all anxiety is Klonopin. I was prescribed 0.5 mg 3 times daily, it has been a God send. I do not go above my prescribed dosage and can take any time of day and stay right on track at work etc. I have been on this dosage for 7 years and it's made a huge difference in my quality of life. I will say that I ran out over a holiday weekend and couldn't get any more until the following Tuesday. 3 days without caused severe withdrawal symptoms, unable to sleep, watery mouth, dry heaves and clammy skin, it was awful. So don't miss dosage(s) & you'll be fine."


"This has been a nightmare. When the botox started working, I was barely able to urinate at all and my partner had to rush me to hospital emergency to get a catheter put in. My bladder was completely paralyzed from the botox. This treatment is really brutal! I had to then self catheterize 3 times per day for about 2 months until the botox wore off enough that I could urinate, and I've had multiple UTIs since then, which is another side effect of this treatment. If a doctor offers you this treatment, run a mile! Its not worth the pain and suffering that you will go through.  Now, after 7 months, the botox has mostly worn off but its still difficult to empty the last bit out of my bladder because the bladder muscle is still partially paralyzed"


"I hate it. I've put on 50lbs even thou I'm staving myself and not eating carbs or sugar and everything  I eat is fat free. I've been detoxing and I'm so tired the only reason I get up is to get my dose.  The person they gave me has no clue what he is doing. I've finally requested a new case worker. Also I'm in more pain than ever. Everyone thats been going there for long time are all bent over, in wheelchairs and no teeth. Now my bones are starting to crack when I walk and I've aged 5 years looks wise. Can't wait to get off this"


"I'm going through a custody battle right now and this is the ONLY thing getting me through the days with a clear head. My boyfriend after 20 years said if I leave him (he's abusive) that he'd take everything from me. He wasn't kidding. He knows I've suffered with panic disorder since I was 16. My dr put me on Prozac and that's helping a little bit to control crying. But the Klonopin is giving my heart and mind a chance to breathe again when I take it as needed. I take two 0.5/mg sometimes together or apart. Ativan & Xanax never worked on me before. I feel so present in the moment when I take my Klonopin. "


"Works well."


"Worst medication EVER.  I couldn't form simple thoughts together.  Couldn't complete tasks.   Migraines got worse.  That was at 100/mg.   200mg was twice as bad.

Neuro told me I could quit taking it cold turkey.   He's a flipping moron.   I sunk into a deep depression with high anxiety after tapering dose down.   This medication needs to be banned."


"Helpful.  "


"I was panicked reading all these reviews but it worked great for me and got rid of my Uti after 3 other useless antibiotics. Bit of usual antibiotic side effects eg stomach pain but nothing really bad and nothing that lasted."


"I have had all kinds of seizures and taken just about every medicine over the last 25 years. Now I take only Vimpat. Seizure free for over 2 years. Yes, I still have memory issues and meds make me sleepy for about 30 minutes but I could never stay on my medicines because I work. I currently take meds daily and work about 45-50 hours per week!  Vimpat has greatly improved the quality of my life."


"For a severely abscessed tooth this pain killer worked great. The side effects were sweats, nagging headache, and constipation."


"I've been taking Reclipsen for a little more than a year and it has been great! My periods last about the same as when I wasn't taking it (a bit heavier). The first few months I started taking it I lost about 10 pounds and now I am back to my normal weight. I would recommend it to anyone."


"I can not believe the cost of OPANA ER!  After my wife and I pay our deductible for the OPANA ER we still get the shaft!  I take four a day and after insurance I pay $250.00 for 30 days and my wife takes six a day for 30 days and hers is $350.00 after insurance pays!  This is ludicrous. When I was given this medicine last year I decided that I was not going to take any more test or take any more medicine unless if is generic and cheap and that the tests were paid a 100%. "


"The drug was effective after the seventh day , I was suffering from tonsil stones and sore throat , probably strep throat , on the 7 day it's gone and the only reaction I had with the drug was a upset stomach."


"I switched over from Aviane because my doctor said they were "exactly the same" but no. I bled really badly and ended up in the hospital because I thought something was seriously wrong."


"This medicine is effective and does the job of "birth control". However, I still have cramps and I have emotional breakdowns the few days before my period comes. I turn into an either sad or extremely angry person and I cannot take no for an answer. I am considering switching medications if this does not change. It is beginning to ruin relationships."


"You wake up the next morning feeling very refreshed, and hardly wake up in the middle of the night,  once if any. good over the counter choice."


"This is a great product. I have run the whole course of home cures, doctor visits, constant pain in the A** all this year. My latest Doctor prescribed ProctoFoam and 1st use was a God Send. Relief was instant. Burning, itch and pain faded away. Slept so good."


"I started Avonex about 6 months after diagnosis. I got terribly sick after injecting. It was like coming down with the flu once a week. I felt feverish and painfully achy. I took naproxen and that helped. Later on I asked my neurologist for Vicodin to help out with the achy pain. Together the medicines helped the side effects. I never miss a week and as I injected more and more, the side effects have lessened to the point that with Vicodin I can work well on my injection days. I cannot sleep thru the night on an injection. I sleep poorly and wake up in pain several times. I have not had a relapse in five years on Avonex though my balance and leg have slowly worsened somewhat. I still work my feet full time."


"After trying a ton of different medications and having no luck, my doctor finally decided to put me on propranolol. After trying so many meds with no luck, I didn't have much hope. I have been on this medication for 3 days now and I am ECSTATIC! I am taking 40mg twice a day (once in morning and once at night). I used to wake up with headaches and go to bed with headaches and for these 3 days I have not had ANY pain! I usually have headaches at least 4-5 days a week and for me to wake up with no pain and go to bed with no pain feels so amazing. I didn't get any dizziness or any side effects at all so far. Although it's only been 3 days so far, I can tell it's made a huge difference already. "


"Abnormal bleeding all month long and severe mood swings.  I'm switching after trying this for two months."


"It does stuff I never thought meds would do.  It has made corrections to my perceptions and how I look at things and my racing thoughts"


"This is the first birth control I have been on so I don't have much to compare it to, but I have been on it for 2 years. I got on Loestrin 24 Fe because I was sexually active and had irregular periods. Since I have been on the pill I have had shorter, lighter periods and very minimal cramping (if at all). I am very pleased with this pill. I don't even have spotting between periods. If taken correctly, I feel that this birth control is very effective. I have not had any side effects that I can even think of. I have always been average weight and Loestrin 24 Fe has not caused me to gain/lose anything. To be completely honest, I have never had an issue with acne so I can't really express whether or not it has helped in that manner."


"So I started taking the pill naltrexone this morning. I was on day 9 of being off subutex and was taking the subutex for 5 yrs following a opioid addiction for several yrs prior. I had it very rough the first week of being clean then things started getting a little easier. Other than the occasional anxiety, insomnia and just plain no motivation to do anything. I first was prescribed clonedine to help w anxiety and really it's too lower heart rate. One min I wld feel okay the next very sluggish. Did 2 days of this then went to the naltroxone.  I felt pretty good this morning before I took the pill and now it's like I'm back into withdrawals...anxiety, sweats,  muscle aches..it just seems to b very discouraging. Should I continue the naltrexone?"


"This stuff works just as well as vicodin and the rest of its family without the loopiness. It gives the extra edge you need to feel better not sedated."


"This medication is amazing!   I've battled depression & anxiety all my adult life (30 years).  I used alcohol periodically to self medicate and could & would stop in the past.  I was drinking a 5th of vodka nightly for over a year & was unable to stop due to withdrawals. I reached a point where I knew I needed help.  My liver enzymes were consistently elevated, I was extremely overweight, & the depression & anxiety had grown so severe that I felt suicidal.  After a 3 week tapering off using Librium, I was still craving alcohol.   But after the 1st day of taking Campral, I have yet to crave alcohol.  Its been 2 weeks...l've walked every day and lost 12 lbs. Campral combined w/counseling and support; feeling healthier and hopeful than ever!"


"Middle age stinks. In the last 5 years my weight and blood pressure became also uncontrollable. My last doctor visit I weighed in at my heaviest. 201# and being 5'7" was categorised has obese. Plus my blood pressure was sky high. Dangerously high. My doctor told me about Saxenda. Well my insurance company would not cover it. So the doctor's office called in an RX for Victoza. I started the injections May 3rd. I followed the dosing schedule and increased the dose every 7 days. I continue to take the 1.8mg dose. I have lost 31 pounds since May. My blood pressue is now normal even abit low. I feel like I have my life back."


"I',ve been using all 3of the products for a little over 3weeks my jawline is worst than ever....they say it could take up to 8weeks or more....I am 49 never had acne like rhis even as a teen..I truly believe if after 1 month and I don't see it getting better then THE PRODUCT IS NOT FOR ME AND WILL NOT WORK.7 days and I am returning the product...don't waste money on the so called previously by rx only product...back to toothpaste and spot treatment.."


"I would NOT recommend , my periods are ten times worse, I get really sick the day before and after my period!! My legs constantly hurt throughout my period I get VERY lightheaded! I've become very anemic! I was told it would stop after 3 months still hasn't it's been 6 month and I'm miserable and constantly feel like I'm getting weaker and not myself!!"


"I have been on Zubsolv for 3 days now because my insurance won't cover Suboxone (which I was on previously for over a year, my insurance company got switched) my Dr told me about Zubsolv and I gave it a try (and because its covered thru my insurance.) I see/feel NO DIFFERENT than from when I was on the Suboxone. I personally feel that Zubsolv works better for me. But everyone's body is different. The ONLY thing I DON'T like about the Zubsolv is the taste. It is a VERY STRONG MENTHOL TASTE, BUT THE TABLETS DISSOLVE VERY QUICKLY!"


"Love it, it helps ease my severe neck pain, haven't had any side effects yet."


"The first 2 weeks were rough. I was sick to my stomach, dizzy and tired. My doctor switched me to separate prescriptions of Wellbutrin and Naltrexone (the same drugs in Contrave) and I took one in the morning and one at bedtime. It got rid of the side effects. I've lost 20lbs in the last 2 months. The medication doesn't suppress my appetite but now I can feel when I'm full and I'm able to walk away with food still on the plate. It doesn't miraculously take away the cravings, but now I feel okay saying no or having a couple of bites and being done. Before starting the medication I could eat a meal and an entire dessert by myself but now I eat maybe half as much. If Contrave made you sick it's worth asking your doc about separating it."


"This was my first birth control pill. I was on it for 2 months. I was prescribed this for heavy, long periods (a super plus tampon and a maxi pad would last me about 2 hours at most. Setting alarms every 2 hours at night was not fun) and severe cramps that caused me to black out and miss school. I never got acne, but after starting this pill I noticed a few spots-nothing big, maybe 5 or 6 over the course of 2 months. Nothing happened to my weight. My periods were extremely light; a regular tampon was all I needed for 4 to 6 hours. I did notice my sex drive decreased greatly, and it did increase the severity of my bipolar disorder. However, I would still recommend this pill."


"I've had the Implanon for 2 weeks now. Some bleeding some mood swings but not much different than before but no change in sex drive still the same may be a little higher than it was but the bleeding is getting in the way of sex. Other than than that I love it; no more condoms. Always hated condoms and now we found a better way to protect us. It's great and very effective. I LOVE IT."


"This pill was fine for the first three months that I was on it, then I started constantly spotting.  I only had 3-4 days a month that I was not spotting while on this med.  I was switched to Lo Loesterin and the spotting has stopped."


"Severe hot flushes, sleep disturbance, bone and joint pain, lack of concentration. Was getting Zoladex injections for 9 months then had hysterectomy. Have been on Arimidex for 7 months. Hope I don't have to be on it for up to 5 years. I don't think I could stick out these side effects."


"The best product. I will recommend this. My advice is to have patience with it and your acne will disappear."


"I have been on Invokana since September 2013, so a little over a year. I have experienced hair loss, tiredness, and yeast infections. I talked to my doctor about the hair loss, which I experienced for over a year. He has upped my Metformin to the maximum dosage. My hair has stopped falling out. I am also using Rosemary essential oil to help with hair loss, and probiotics for the yeast infection. I have had amazing results with this medication in regards to blood sugar control. My A1C went from 12.3 to 7.1 I have never had such control. As a benefit I have lost over the course of a year 34 pounds. I feel that the benefits outweigh the side effects"


"I was on nexplanon for a year. I didn't have any major issues with it. It worked great as far as the birth control aspect of it. But while I was on it I started having a vaginal odor sometimes daily sometimes on and off. I went to the gynecologist and got a check up. All tests came back negative. They treated me for vaginosis just in case but no prevail. As soon as I got the nexplanon taken out the odor went away. Other than that it was great not having to remember to take a pill. And I'm not sure if it was the bc or not but I felt when I was on it my mood was like a rollercoaster. I'm sure my BF noticed the difference but i went from depressed to happy to mad and sleeping a lot."


"I've gotten Kyleena inserted on the 11th of this month. It's been a cool experience so far. I mean the procedure was a little intense. But I have a high tolerance for pain. I only screamed when my doctor inserted the IUD. But that's because I wasn't expecting it (caught me off guard). Anyways, I've had it for 2 weeks now and there's only one down side on this for me and to the spotting. My body is still getting used to this and I have recently had a miscarriage so I'm thinking I'll spot and have light cramps for a few more weeks. I spot on and off and it makes me sad because I think the spotting is over with lol. But other than the constant spotting, I would recommend this birth control."


"I have been on this medicine for 8 days now and have constant, severe nausea.  This is the second night in a row that I have thrown-up. My sex drive is back which is why I switched from Lexapro 10 mg.  I am hoping the nausea will go away.  I have also gained 3 lbs in these 8 days!  Tomorrow I am going to keep a food diary and when I take my medicine to see if I can make any changes.  The swelling in my stomach has not gotten better and has been there for 2 days now."


"I got the implant October 31, 2007 and kept it in until February 2009.  I BLED the ENTIRE time with this implant.  I cannot say whether it's the best or worst, but it wasn't for me!  I was told to give my cycle at least 6 months to adjust--it never did.  So just be sure to discuss the pros and cons with your physician."


"I had modest improvements in my bladder urgency symptoms. My biggest problem was how it affected my blood pressure. I am a 29 year old female and started having sky high blood pressure readings. I have never had trouble with blood pressure prior to starting to this medication. I had one blood pressure reading of 197/110. Now my blood pressure is still running high, around 155/90. I am going to start cutting the pills in half to see if it will help. One positive is that I only have to pay $20 on the patient assistance program through their website."


"Have been suffering with rls for 10 yrs., at least. Tried Requip, neurontin, quinine, nothing worked. Started Mirapex 3 weeks ago. No more rls! I cant believe it. My life was hell. Even helps during the day. I started on .5 mg at 6pm. Daily. This has been a miracle for me, no side effects."


"I had immediate  problems when I started taking this medication. Honestly, I thought it was a placebo, because I had all of the symptoms that caused me to take the med in the first  place. Definitely  did not work for me."


"Received one shot for three full months. Nearing the end . Major side effects were the hot flashes and some weird feeling of uneasiness. I would not take it again. Hot flashes are not cool.  Just had ultrasound and will be seeing doctor soon to see if shot was a success in killing cysts. The drug may work but wow all these side effects."


"I was prescribed this along with tramadol (Ultram) to deal with pain associated with hip and knee arthritis prior to my hip resurfacing procedure.  The combination worked work very well for me although I still needed a cane.  I also got some cortisone injections in my knees which were miraculously helpful.  Since the surgery 1 month ago, I've been able to discontinue the tramadol and now only take the diclofenac occasionally (1 a day, 2-3 x a week). However, it does make me a bit lethargic, and I notice that my legs do swell and I seem to urinate less volume (sorry for the details). I do recommend the diclofenac, however."


"I've been on epiduo for over a month and I am not impressed. I was afraid that I would experience red, dry skin when I first started using it, but was told that after the irritation I would begin to see results. I never experienced any irritation, drying, or burning, and I have seen no results as far as my acne goes. While I have not
experienced any negative side effects, I am furious that my skin has not improved. I started taking antibiotics for my skin last week, but the derm told me to continue using epiduo as well. Still no results!"


"I've been taking Rapaflo for one week now w/o any adverse side effects. Rapaflo worked immediately to mitigate nightly trips to the bathroom. I now

make one or two trips and the flow is significantly much stronger than previously. The only negative is that my PDP doesn't cover Rapaflo."


"The only thing I have to complain about is that I've had breakthrough bleeding since the very first month which my doctor told me is a sign that I need a higher hormone count which is why she's switching me to the generic version of Minastrin 24 Fe (Junel Fe 1/20) to see if it helps. What I did like about Lo Loestrin Fe is that it eventually turned my periods from 5 medium/heavy days to about 2 fairly light days."


"Works very well for my chronic panic disorder.  Better than Xanax as it provides a lower dose but consistent treatment.  I'd highly recommend it."


"Went on vacation in the Dominican came back with a uti. Not the souvenir I wanted , I believe I got it from the filthy water I swam in. Haiti is on the other side and have no sewer system. If you swim with a tampon in and don't remove it right away it will stew with the the ocean water.  I struggled for a year & I ended up taking ceftin for 3 months straight in order to kill the multi drug resistant ecoli that had invaded my bladder cells. It took 3 months to shed the lining of my bladder with the invaded cells. My urologist put me on hiprex for bladder maintenance. It works! I'm a med tech and dip my urine and look at it under the scope constantly, my urine stays acidic and no ecoli would want to take up residency :)"


"I had been suffering from hyperdidrosis for about two years. The most unbearable and uncomfortable situation was the feeling of drops of sweat roll down my side. I had to change my wardrobe completely. I would come back from school and immediately have to change my shirt. I had tried everything!  I tried home remedies to all kinds of deoderants, but nothing worked. Not only was it embarassing, but the sensation of having sweaty underarms was uncomfortable. I told my doctor about and she gave me drysol. It was a MIRACLE! The day after I put it on, my sweat was 99% GONE!! Just a little burning, but not to bad. It reduced my sweating and know I can go back to the life I used to have. Thank the heavens for this product! Love it!"


"I got the implant towards the end of October 2014 and it is now beginning of March 2015. I didn't have a period at all until December. It lasted about two weeks and then I got it again on New Years. From then i had it continuously for a month and a half. It wasn't too heavy but still enough to be annoying. My doctor gave me some birth control pills and gave me a set schedule to regulate the bleeding. I finished taking the pill regimen and now I have to see if the period continues. After getting the implant I lost about 17 lbs and was still losing weight except for I started taking the pills and gaining again. My mood and sex drive were a little off at the beginning but quickly returned back to normal."


"I started having RL at 15. Then I kept it to myself even when I would be up all night sometimes taking 5 hot baths bc I thought it was in my head. My Pdoc actually prescribed it because she had prescribed me adderall for ADD and it got SO bad. When mine hits it's literally like I want to claw/cut my legs off. kick them front to back, left to right, scratch them, hit them. Nothing helped. Gabapentin helped me immediately. To those of you who said it didn't help or it made you too sleepy... I was told to take mine at bedtime. Normally I take it 2-3 hours before. 900mgs. I gave it a 9 because I do have breakthrough spells, and bad clumsiness. Taking it 2-3 hours before makes me only be dizzy and clumsy before bed and not the next morning."


"over the years I tried quite a few sleep medications with no results at all.  We moved to a new state and found a new doctor,  I'm now on 30mg temazepam  and I sleep like a baby for at least 8 hrs a night. I was put on 7.5, 10mg and 15 mg.  30mg works for me."


"I've been on Nexplanon for a little over two months now and I absolutely love it.  I was really scared of the side effects after reading tons of reviews, but I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did! I don't have to worry about anything for 3 years and it takes a lot of pressure off of me and my partner. I was especially scared about the constant bleeding that a lot of people complained about, but I haven't run into that problem at all! I was actually supposed to have my period last week, but it never came, so here's to hoping I don't have to deal with that for the next three years!

Definitely consider this--it's painless and a great and easy way to be responsible about birth control!"


"Zoloft works for me. No side affects. Just brought me back to feeling normal.

I take 100MG a day. This was a life and marriage saver for me. I was so panic-depressed-angry before."


"take for sleep"


"Was prescribed flagyl for BV but was never entirely sure I even had it as no tests were conducted. Took the pills and am so happy tomorrow is my last day! Literally the worst side effects ever, day one wasn't so bad just had metallic taste in mouth but every other day I've experienced headaches, nausea, and extreme fatigue to where I'm sleeping all day. The medication is so much worse than the slight issues I even had."


"I took plan b 3 times in my lifetime, I did it my first two times of having protected sex (I was really nervous so my boyfriend bought it I was obviously not even close to pregnant though) and then last night where the condom broke on us. I have never been so nervous since this is the time I really need it. i took it a hour within having it break, I get my period on the 26th mostly but still praying and waiting."


"So after reading all the comments, I now know its not just me:(
Went and got the monistat 1, put it in about 1 today. Felt fine till about 30 minutes ago. Oh my!!!! My inside are on itchy fire. This is horrible. I'm hoping at least it works for all this pain. I can say I will never use this AGAIN!!! What helps with some kind of relief ladies??? Help please"


"After years on Zoloft I've been switched to Lexapro, now I'm 10 mg (targeting 20mg per day) with HUGE DIFFERENCE. No more mood swings, no more anxiety, I'm calm and happy. I'm glad I change my meds, now I feel like living person again ! It's great."


"I've had it for 2 years now and I have had constant spotting or bleeding throughout the entire time. The dr told me after 9 months of it being in the bleeding should stop, but it hasn't. I still get cramps and I gained 20 lbs. My skin is extra sensitive to the sun so I burn all the time. My moods are better, my acne comes and goes. My sex life isn't at its full potential because I don't want to have sex if I'm spotting... Which is all the time. I haven't gotten pregnant so this thing works, so I'm reluctant to try something else and put my body through another traumatic time. For now I'll deal with the spotting. Also it is super hard to lose weight for some reason. I was a 00 at the beginning and now I am a size 4"


"I take this drug to help combat Major Depression (had for 1.5 years).  I have also tried Paxil (made me crazier), Prozac (did nothing for me) and Effexor (worked well but the sexual side effects were worse than the depression).  I started Wellbutrin at 150mg and slowly increased to 300mg by after completely titrating off Effexor, had to increase to 450 because MD came back.  SO, here is the deal - at first this drug feels awful (realize that most anti's are like this in the beginning).  I had to stick with it for at least a month and the extreme anxiety has always normalized.   But OMG - this is the first drug that motivates me to get out of bed and face each day.  for me it helps to balance my down mood & 'urge to isolate' and sabotage my day."


"MIRACLE DRUG. Seriously. Hayfever my entire life. Hayfever x 10000 in Melbourne, Australia. Tried at least 10 different allergy tablets and sprays and eye drops, from both US and Australia. I eat local pollen honey and have an air purifier in my house that runs 24/7 and still my symptoms persisted.  Dymista immediately relieved my allergic symptoms -- I can breathe, I can go outside, my eyes don't itch, my hives have stopped, sneezing stopped, runny nose has stopped, headache stopped. I can't rave enough about this one. Can't believe I didn't start it sooner. If you're suffering seasonal allergies just go to your doctor, get a prescription and feel the relief."


"Overall, I love the Mirena. I went from 8 years of birth control pills to finally getting something more permanent placed, and I wish I had done it earlier. Nothing to think about, no periods, etc. My mood is more stable and sex drive is greater than it was when I was on Yasmin. Being 26 years old and never having children, the insertion was extremely painful and I was very nauseous. It only took about 3 minutes to put in, but I was out of commission for the first week following. My doctor gave me some stronger medicines since the ibuprofen wasn't working and nausea wasn't subsiding, and that helped a lot. Since then, I've been good to go! No acne, no weight gain."


"To all of those girls (I'm 20 but I'm confident it will work for women of other ages) who think they will never have a clear face and will forever be burdened with horrible pimples, burning acne creams, pills, scrubs etc. THIS birth control is for you! I have never done a review of anything but felt the need to let all the girls out there with bad acne that there IS help. I was on it for a month and then immediately saw results. My awful, deep, painful pimples started disappearing and within 2 months I had a perfectly clear face- no acne at all. I do have some red spots from past pimples and once in a while when I'm stressed I'll get a pimple or two but Tri Sprintec is my SAVIOR. I tried EVERYTHING for my acne and this worked."


"Unbelievable!  After suffering everyday with sciatica nerve pain, losing sleep, falling into depression, I tried one pill, Aleve. Nothing else I tried worked.  Aleve did exactly what my body needed to get relief from pain and inflammation.  I didn't want a narcotic, no. I will continue to take Aleve for a week to be sure that all traces of sciatica and inflammation are completely gone."


"Taking Jolessa started out good, no bleeding the first month but then the second month started spotting which lasted a pretty long while maybe 3 weeks. I just now got to my actual period and wow the cramps are unbelievable. I used to never have cramps but now my cramps have been so terrible that I can't sleep, but maybe since this is my first period while on the pill. After my body gets used to it maybe I wont have such severe cramps."


"Have had 13 low back surgeries The Oxycontin has helped me lead as normal life as much as possible, until they changed them. They don't work even near what the oc had. I now they say not to crush them but I  would crush one.Dr put me to 4 80s three times a day.  To get to where i had been getting somewhat of a life back, I would crush one for breakthrough pain felt pretty good. Now I am right back in bed 24hr a day,Also noticed my body has been putting out a smell like burnt rubber,And sick to my stomach, Have not had a bowl movement in 2 weeks .I told the Dr I would give him all my oxycontin back to him to just get something else. So I will be changing."


"This is the first time I have ever taken birth control. This pill has caused my stomach to become very sensitive. Almost everything I eat causes horrible stomachache. Not only that but do experience bleeding between my periods. I'm not done my 3 month sample but I will be switching after the 3 months are done."


"I feel a positive response of this medicine."


"I ended up having a very bad experience with Viibyrd, due to its drug interactions with Xanax I'm taking for anxiety. The first month was wonderful though. After the first dose, I felt amazing; I felt calm, content, and had energy to get through my day. It did give me nausea sometimes, so I had to make sure I ate a big breakfast to avoid that.

Things started to get bad during the second month. My mood wasn't as amazing as before & some suicidal thoughts came back. Then, I began experiencing hallucinations— visual, closed-eyed, even musical. It was pretty horrifying and made my depression and anxiety TREMENDOUSLY worse altogether. My doc immediately took me off Viibyrd & switched to Celexa.

Viibryd co-pay was also very expensive."


"Celexa has improved my well being and life immensely! I feel like a care bear jumped into my body. Seriously though, on day one I already felt better, not sure if that was the medicine or just my attitude towards starting the regimen. But having a positive attitude definitely helps. It has been a while now and I feel more energetic, I'm sleeping much more normally and I am just plain HAPPY!
I used to have extreme mood swings and the smallest thing would set me off. Now I notice things that used to send me in a hissy fit or bad attitude and they make me laugh or I shrug it off. I suggest this medicine. I am terrible usually at adapting to medicines but this one fit right in! I'm going to stop before I start singing "happy happy joy joy"."


"I have tried a countless number of remedies and Zomig is the only thing that has worked for me.  I do have a couple of side effects to mention. Sensitive skin (pain to the touch), tingling in my extremities achey joints and muscles and excessive urination. Although these side effects don't happen everytime I use it.  Zomig has been a miracle for me, I have suffered migraines for 18 years.  I can live with the side effects and only hope my migraines will go away with menopause like the doctors have told me."


"Have been taking Belviq for two and a half months have lost 10 lbs.  First two days had a headache and felt weird, but then it went away and I have noticed I sleep like a rock (albeit I do have weird dreams).  I also have a lot LESS anxiety, so I am unsure what that is about?  I don't have any other side effects except that I am MUCH less hungry, don't really think about food like I use to.  It has been so much easier to stay on track and just eating like a normal human.  I feel GREAT and am very grateful to this drug."


"Developed bronchial infection couple of days into a cold. Tried usual cold remedies, but was feeling worse. Got up enough strength to drive over to my primary physician who is also a pulmonary specialist. I wanted chest x-ray as I had double-pneumonia years ago, was hospitalized, very ill, so ill they brought priest in for my last rites. My physician prescribed 100 mgs doxycycline 2 x daily, told me to take it with food if I felt nauseous.  First 2 days I was ok; took it with 8 oz. water as directed, ate some bread with it, waited to eat my full meal, stayed off dairy. Third day nausea, dizziness began, head felt like vice grips were squeezing it. Into day 4 now, still same side effects, but med is breaking up and clearing out infection."


"Following 4 years of neck pain my neurologist finally prescribed tramadol, pain relief is so nice. I can enjoy my life again."


"I've had the Mirena since March of 2015. It was a painful insertion. Since then, I've had migraines on a regular basis, acne, and decreased sex drive. I don't know if I should call them periods, but for weeks at a time since the insertion, there's the old super dark brown blood discharge. My OB-GYN put me on some medication for the bleeding, but it hasn't worked. I plan on getting it removed within the next couple of weeks."


"Long story kinda short! My knee swelled up where I couldn't even bend it. My mom gave me a tube of her gel. It worked right away when I applied it. Great stuff. Here's the best part though. I have a bulge in my lower back. I have meloxacam but I don't take it regularly because I feel that it don't help any. So one day my back is as hurting really bad so I decided to apply the gel. Glad I did because wow! It works amazing! They should most definitely test it on the back. I know surgery will be the only thing for permanent relief but I'm only 31 and one can't afford it and two it's not guarantee it would work and  could make my problem worse. Next time I go to my doctor I will be asking for my own prescription."


"I was 29, dealing with stress that raised my blood pressure when I was placed on 10 mg of Bystolic. It worked immediately and I felt it had no side effects besides helping me sleep most nights uninterrupted. After taking the medicines for 8 months I began feeling lightheaded and got blood pressure in the neighborhood of 90/50 so I stopped use with support from my doctor. I've been getting healthy readings since . However, at my doctor's visit I realized I'd gained a pound a month since starting Bystolic. I  first quit cold turkey, on my own- bad idea- I experienced mild vertigo and the "heavy leg" feeling some people have reported (which I also felt on the drug). Now it's out of my system and I feel great- much more alert, energized, and losing weight much more easily."


"I've taken plan B one step after a mishap during unprotected sex.  I took plan B about 1 hour and 45 minutes later and I am pretty positive I was fertile. After taking the pill I received bloating the next day and extreme fatigue. My period is due tomorrow and I would like to know how to make it come faster rather than having to wait and worrying myself even more. any suggestions? I know that since I took the medication so fast it has a high effectiveness level. I just want my period Asap!"


"Works wonders on rapid cycling.  I really love this medicine.  I know it is off label for bipolar, but wow!  I take it with another mood stabilizer, antipsychotic and a when required antipsychotic and antidepressant, and it has stabilized my Ultradian cycling that is so hard to treat.  I feel normal again.  I take 150mg.  Also can work in conjunction with other common weigh gainer medicines to cancel out the weigh gain effect - just a tip."


"Another fail.  I had the opposite side effects as most people though.  I was drained.  I was the opposite of constipated.  I got chills/goosebumps, but painful ones.  I had some sweats, but mostly painful goosebumps.  I already feel like crap with depression.  I don't need another medicine to make me feel worse.  Cymbalta had a similar effect on me.  I was sick and drained.  Effexor didn't have that issue, just some nausea and I did feel energized, but it would take me 10 minutes to urinate.  Fetzima was my 20th antidepressant.  I am looking into a clinical trial of ECT and Ketamine.  I am over those useless medicines.  I can't believe this garbage retails for 400/mo.  I got it at no cost with the savings card for the first month."


"Since entering menopause, I find I come down with urinary tract infections more frequently.  At the first sign of discomfort, I start with cranberry juice and Azo.  The cranberry juice helps make my urine more acidic (inhibiting bacteria) and the Azo calms my bladder and relieves the urgency and pain.  The only downside (if you want to call it that) is that it turns your urine dark yellow and can stain, but it's definitely worth it)."


"I've taken Prozac before and it helps with anxiety as long as I don't drink too much alcohol (which makes anxiety worse afterwards). The problem for me is getting used to the medication so I start on 10mg for a week then slowly increase the dose to 20mg. For a few weeks though I'm more anxious and at times suicidal and depressed so I take Valium while that's happening. This whole cycle is hard so to take Prozac is not an easy decision for me, but I'm keen to feel 'good' again so I'll stick with it."


"Developed condition of depressive ice disorder that I couldn't even get out of bed - odd for type A person of high activity but doctors decided it was a form or norepinephrine depression related to high dose and bad reaction to fludrocortisone I had to take

fetzima was only medicine of 13 tried to have sufficient efficacy. It was truly amazing that chemical imbalance can result in this inertia. However...

Early on jitteriness nausea, insomnia, irritability, lower anxiety threshold made me wonder if this was a good decision....

After 9 months. Efficacy there- good enough for me to do the heavy lifting to get myself into new habits, new social situations, etc.  irritability itself waned, sleep problems continued, causing more problems"


"I am thrilled to be treated with Harvoni, truly a miracle drug!
GT:1b  VL:15 million to UND at 4 weeks
Completed 8/12 weeks with minimal sides."


"I would like to add to everyones into, the first day of taking your low dose maybe try take your first day on a non work day! Both days I went back on it I threw up on day one and felt nauseous. Everyone is different but that was me! My starting dose for week one was 10mg then brought up to 15. Do not let this put you off as after day one, this goes away and it's all back to normal :)"


"I started taking Prozac (10mg) a couple of months ago and I feel like a different person - in a good way. Before, I felt like I could not control my angry outburst. I no longer rage. I feel much more positive. I no longer obsessively think about people I am angry with. I feel capable of letting things go! I don't create hostility where there is none anymore. Prozac has been wonderful. I'm really glad I started taking it."


"I have been using Tenuate 75mg for 4 months along with a modified high protein/low fat diet substituting 2 meals a day with a protein shake. I have lost 41 lbs and gone from a size 20W to a size 14!  I am very happy with my weight loss and how this drug makes me feel!  I have no jitters or racing heart and can tell a difference if I forget to take it.  On days I forget I feel like I'm searching for something to put in my mouth and have to make a truly conscious effort to drink more water and not succumb to my cravings/urges to eat anything and everything!  Days when I take it I almost never think about eating and have to use the alarms set on my blackberry to remind me to eat every 4 hours!  I have a lot more energy and no trouble sleeping."


"Clarithromycin is extremely effective but unfortunately, it tastes horrid and leaves a disgusting taste in your mouth, to get rid of the taste I recommend eating a banana and gargling some water. Though it is effective there are many side effects e.g, Diarrhoea, Nausea, Sickness and others. I am still taking Clarithromycin, I suffered from multiple symptoms, Motion Sickness, Diarrhoea and Nausea are the ones I suffer from but it could be different for someone else. If you do take Clarithromycin for Otitis the symptoms are added to the side effects, I still had a full feeling in my ear, problems with balance, ear ache and a head ache so be wary of that. I recommend resting and not moving your head fast/too much."


"I started a 12 week course on champix I lasted 4 weeks. I can't rate them enough I only lasted 4 weeks cos that's how long it took me to stop smoking and 3 months on I don't even have the need or urge to pick up a Cigy. I've been smoking...sorry I used to smoke for 20 years tried everything to stop and nothing helped.  The only side affect I had was a few restless nights where i found it hard to sleep but that's a small price to pay to kicking the habbit. Thank you champix !!"


"Started taking Prograf in July of 2011 for my heart transplant, except for some slight itching and for a little fluid in my ankles, this drug has worked wonders. "


"My libido was non existent even after taking it for more than 3 months. It also made me gain 10 pounds but that wasn't a huge problem for me. The only thing that sucks about this pill is the noticeable decrease in sex drive, other than that it's fine."


"I took Vesicare for several months. It seemed to help some, but my vision was getting blurry, which got worse each month. Scary! I finally stopped it. My vision cleared up. Over the years I've tried: Detrol LA (rubbish), Ditropan XL (not effective), Vesicare (blurry vision), Enablex (worked for a while but still not enough control), and now I am on Toviaz 8mg. So far Toviaz is the most effective of those. It really cuts down on frequency. I only get up once in the night and can go 3-4 hrs without urinating (daytime). The incontinence is much better. My problem is my brain sees the toilet and doesn't want hold off until I can get my belt and jeans down, and my ass on the throne. My insurance won't cover it now so will switch again."


"I have a lot going on in my life and so far with the terrible panic attacks that I'm getting, Klonopin seems to work most times. My Doctor just increased my dose to 1mg so we'll see if that helps a little better."


"The first week seemed fine enough at first:  tingling in feet and hands, dry mouth, and diet soda tasted awful so I stopped drinking it.  After one week, I noticed the sluggishness when forming a thought, the forgetting things moments after the thought entered my brain, and tingling in my face.  I also had some issues sleeping.

Talked with my doc and she confirmed all of this was normal due to the Topamax, and it was up to me to continue.  I had already purchased the month dose at the time I got my free dose, so I decided to stick it out and try it.  The FIRST day of the doubled dose was absolutely awful.  I felt anxious and my face was numb and tingly from 6am to 6pm, no exaggeration.  I immediately stopped. Lost 12lbs but not worth it."


"My 10-year son has ADHD (combined) and ODD. Focalin XR so far is the only medication that works on my son's inattentiveness. However, on 15 mg he was very moody and glassy eyed. Found out later that he was overmedicated. What I didn't like about Focalin was that he became very quiet almost Zombie like. Also, the medication did not last in his system long enough. He stopped takes Focalin XR over a year now and has been on Vyvanse (70mg.) I am considering putting him back on Focalin with a lower dose."


"I had skyla put in exactly a year ago. Insertion was a bit painful but only lasted seconds. I was in and out of the doctors within 10-15 min. Procedure was 1 whole minute probably. 3 weeks later I went to the ER because I couldn't stand the pain and I knew something was wrong, found out I had an STI and it was a STI that the doctors were supposed to test for before putting in the IUD. Long story short, once all those were cleared up, the pain was fine. To this day I still have a bit of cramps often but nothing too bad and my periods are much lighter. Overall I am very happy with skyla. If it wasn't for the issues at the beginning, which was the doctors fault, I would rate skyla a 10!"


"I have been a diabetic for 51 yrs. I used Lantus as my bedtime insulin and Novolog on sliding scale for meals. I was taken off Lantus by Endo and replaced it with Tresibia. 1st day I noticed dizziness, 2nd day it was worse on 3rd day I can't walk across a room for I am going side ways. I am so sick for i feel like I am on a merry go round non stop. My BS dropped to 25 this morning and with the dizziness and this I was in a bad shape!!! Back to my Lantus I go and Tresibia is in TRASH where it belongs!!!!!!"


"I've had mine in for almost a year and I will say the first few months were terrible!  I don't have severe anxiety but I did when I  first had it inserted.  I was anxious,  nervous,  irritable,  on edge,  and emotional.  After the first few months passed it got alot better! I've hardly had any periods and the ones I've had were light with no cramps or mood swings.  They're spaced about four months apart and I tend to bleed for longer.  Sometimes up to 3 or even 4 weeks but they're so light I don't notice until I wipe after using the bathroom.  Doesn't interfere with sex either, due to it being so light and not having any period side effects.  I haven't worn a tampon or pad in  almost a year.  My last period I did experience some cramping."


"Have only been taking this for a month so far no rash hoping i wont get it when we increase the dosage. I have lost 15 pounds on it in the first month but the side effects I have are trouble sleeping, weight loss, and runny nose. It has lifted my mood and I am able to exercise plus I have so much more focus I have ADHD but don't take anything for it."


"I was on Alesse 28 since I was 17 (2012) and never missed a day for 3 years. It made me extremely moody, I had horrible acne, it didn't help relieve pain for my periods at all and lost my appetite altogether because it always felt like it was stuck in my throat. Although my boobs came in when I started this, I hated it. In the summer of 2015, I became pregnant while on this bcp for 3 years, and my partner wore a condom. After I stopped taking it, my skin cleared completely, I was no longer psychotic and I was actually happy! My periods are still horrible but I don't ever want to go back!! I'm still looking for a new type of bcp but I'm never going back to Alesse 28"


"This was absolutely horrid! I had the yeast infection  for one night before I got the monistat. That night I used betadine to relive the pain. It worked! The next morning I got the monistat, determined to get rid of this. Night 2: I inserted it and immediately the itching pain was ridiculous. 100 worse than the initial. I tried the cream and nothing helped  the burning was on the inside and the cream doesn't go there. I tried by best to lay on my back and take it but the pain was unbearable.After 15 min in I had begun to cry. I couldn't take it any longer I had to try and wash it out. I am so sore and the itching and burning are still there but the betadine is helping. Monistat was the WORST decision I have ever made."


"I was prescribed NeutraSal by my Rheumatologist.  I am able to get through the day without having a dry mouth which made it hard for me to enjoy eating."


"The nicotine cravings subsided significantly in just a few days. However I experienced extreme side effects. Nausea, confusion, blurred vision, anxiety attacks, excitability, forgetting what i'm saying mid sentence, constant overall discomfort, shaking, and trouble communicating with people. I'm on day 7 and i'm stilling my 2 month treatment. The fact that is affecting my brain chemistry this much does not sit well with me. They say eventually the side effects will go away but if it's affecting me this negatively now, i'm scared to find out what would happen after 2 months."


"Used according to directions, no help"


"I had my first infusion of Remicade last week. I have been unbelievably sleepy for the last 4 days. I have read that this is a side effect but I am kind of surprised by the level of sleepy that I am experiencing. I hope that this is just me catching up on my sleep as I have not been sleeping well due to pain for sometime. I do like the infusion so much better than the self-injected Humira. I hated that needle and found myself putting off my injection for a couple of days or "forgetting" that I was supposed to get it. Hoping for good results with Remicade."


"I've been taking Diovan 165mg/12.5mg daily for the last 5 years, since I was 56 yrs old and 200 pounds without any side effects on my case. Maybe some impotence now that I read other comments, but at 61 yrs it is normal for men to no longer be that sexually strong."


"I've used this to help with the pain associated with cold sores and along with helping manage the pain it seems to speed up the healing time. I'd recommend it!"


"Mylan Estrodial .01 patches caused a rash (allergy) "


"I have been living with HIV for the last 13 years and currently been on Atripla for the last 18 days. I must say that it gave me very restless nights, insomnia. But the bright side is that it works perfectly if taken last in the night when about to go to bed. My question is, does this medicine also deposits fat from the hips to the waist? It's been working well as its one tablet a day. I thank God for giving me a second chance and praying that I will live to see the next 20 years."


"Medicine does not work at all. I have to have trigger point injections to relax my muscles at least 1 x a week - not fun. 50 injections and still have to take Flexeril 3 x a day."


"Second colonoscopy,  first time, I was given pills to take with lots of liquid. Suprep method   is harder, lots of water/ liquid to drink in a short time, that being said it started working within 10 min., wasn't expecting such fast results! TASTES TERRIBLE!  BUT Ice cold water to mix prep helps, I also had some warm chicken broth that I drank after finishing the prep solution, helps get that sickening sweet aftertaste out of your mouth  , the slice of lemon & the straw also made ingesting this stuff bearable."


"I tried no less than 10 muscle relaxers for Fibromyalgia.  This one was the only one that did the trick and left me with zero side effects."


Ethinyl estradiol / folic acid / levonorgestrel

"Emotional during the last week, for the rest, skin and hair looked great"


"Excellent cleared all symtoms in 24hours"


"I was prescribed gabapentin for tingling and numbness several months ago. I had been trying to stop drinking for years. With the reduction of cravings which was a side effect of the Gabapentin, plus AA I have been sober for 9 months."


"I'm 34. I've had psoriasis for about 10 years now. I have had enough. I started taking methotrexate for a month along with some topical solutions for scalp and spots on my forehead.  That worked great, but it wasn't something I wanted to be on long term. Otezla is the least harmful when it comes to side effects.  It does not require routine lab/blood work.  You're also not really supposed to drink alcohol when taking methotrexate.  I love that Otezla does not lower you immune system and the ability to fight off infections.  I've been taking Otezla now for 2-3 weeks and my skin has remained clear other than a couple spots on my knees that are almost gone.  No real side effects. I will continue to take Otezla."


"I've had sinus problems for so many years - blocked sinus, headaches, temple pressures, allergic episodes. I couldn't breathe also had sore throat. So I decided to take action for once and got prescribed for a 7 day trial of augmentin, plus 24 hour claritin and nasal spray 2 times of each nostril every 3 hours as needed. The first days where hell because of my bodies reaction to this antibiotic. Since I believe it was due to me never using any antibiotics ever.I got chills, high fevers of 102-104. weakness. bed ridden fatigue. headache. it was horrible (although this could have been symptoms of infection) I started to take Tylenol to control the fever, it was god send (Acetaminophen 500mg). I took 2 tablets every 6 hours which did the trick. But the fevers ended day 4. after everything got better after."


"We have been giving Vancomycin 125 mg to our granddaughter for C diff.  She takes without problems but she has developed severe diarrhea with it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Sure, it's not a pleasant experience, but when you see a "horrible taste" review, move on to the next, they're reality tv princesses with their best drama story and NO advice. Drink it standing. In 10 minutes it started for me and lasted 2 hours. Just try to relax on the toilet with a book or movie to help pass the time. Dab don't wipe. Fortunately I have very regular movements. If you don't, I suggest prep for the prep a few days ahead. Avoid "clogging" foods and take a laxative if you need - you don't want the bloat, cramps, headaches, etc. that others complain about. I over stressed because I got sucked in to those horror reviews. I realize it's different for every body, but it's not THAT bad. I thank those who posted genuine tips"


"Was originally on TriNessa and hated it; Tri made me extremely emotional and I started breaking out in cysts. Been on Zarah for a little over a month and all of my cysts are gone. My old acne scars are clearing up and my emotions are very stable now. Sarah's packaging is cute (as if that matters, lol) and it's super easy to use. Although everyone reacts differently, Zarah was perfect for me and I recommend it to everyone."


"I feel much calmer, my anxiety has gone and mood is stabilized. Also every night I get restful 10 hours sleep. I haven't gained any weight. I take 10 mg."


"Have been on Tysabri for 39 months. For me, it has been life changing. I have been on it all in the last 11 yrs and nothing has worked for me like Tysabri I also experience post treatment headaches and prescription MIDRIN works great for the headache pain."


"I took Nuvigil for a little over a year. It changed my life. I have had chronic fatigue for 13 years and the Nuvigil gave me the energy to live a normal life. I had a few side effects, but being awake was more important to me. Occasionally I would sleep lightly or stay up until 2 am. The more noticeable side effect was the fogginess. I would often forget what I was doing, why I walked into the other room and I couldn%u2019t get words out quick enough. I always had the %u201Cit%u2019s stuck at the tip of my tongue%u201D feeling when talking because I couldn%u2019t remember certain words.
Overall, I was very satisfied with this medicine and it was effective. Once I lost my insurance I couldn%u2019t afford to take it anymore. $565 a month is a bit much."


"I've been on this medicine for about a month and I'm really encouraged. I've struggled with depression on and off now since I reached puberty (I'm now 37).  My childhood was great and I could never figure out why I struggled with depression, low self-esteem, racing thoughts, etc.  I've been to counseling at various times and tried therapy including CBT.  While these have been helpful to a degree, I never seemed to be able to shake the feeling of angst, gloomy thoughts, etc.  I know it is still very early but I really feel great. I don't seem to be having the depressing thoughts and my outlook is so much more positive.  For the first couple of weeks I experienced loose stools, mild hot flashes in the morning but they seem to have subsided as well."


"I have been on the Xulane patch for 3 months now. During the first month, I did experience some pregnancy side effects (AM nausea, food/smell sensitivity, painful breasts) especially on my patch change day. I believe it is normal as your body is getting used to the amount of hormones you are receiving. When it came time for my 4th week (off week) I did have a severe migraine that lasted up until I began my period, 2-3 days after removing the patch. It was so debilitating that I did consider discontinuing the patch. However, things returned to normal with my period and I did notice a lighter period that lasted only 3 days."


"I sort of on the fence here. I'm 19, 114lbs. I've only had the patch on for a week and I have alreaty gotten 2 cystic acne flare ups. One on my cheek near my left nostril and an extremely painful one on my jaw line near my ear. I had an IUD in for about 8 months but it caused me problems and had to be removed. The patch I notice i am very tired and bitchy with headaches and nausea. My biggest concern is the fact that i have never had bad acne. I'd usually only get 1-2 whiteheads during my menstrual week. Now my face is really bad, red blotchy gross cyst pimples. It really crushes ones self esteem. Ive been thinking maybe i just shouldn't use it anymore."


"Costly, no breaks, once yearly free 30. Cost $250 monthly"


"I've tried many birth controls in the past few years and after taking microgestin for about a year now I can definitely say it is one of the better brands I have used. After reading other reviews I am glad to know that I am not the only one who has experienced extremely light periods and dryness during intercourse. For me, my last period didn't even come. While some might see no periods as a dream come true, personally it can really worried me. Despite using the pill consistently, I ended up taking a pregnancy test to put my mind at ease, but going forward I might consider switching again just so I can get that little extra reassurance. However all other side effects on this medication have been very minimal for me!"


"My hands have been deteriorating rapidly, they'd closed into a fist and could barely open them, was in pain every day that only huge doses of prednisone (not prescribed) helped. A few days after my first injection the pain was gone and my hands opened up again. I'm hoping this continues to be the case."


"I've been on these for many years not just for worn out knees and OA. I also have restless leg syndrome which they work in 15 minutes where all other RLS meds fail me. God bless cause if you have RLS you know how terrible it can be. They help me rest so I can make it to work the next day. A++"


"I love this once a day use and have been sick less since on this medicine. I love it, have not had to use my rescue inhaler as much and in 2 years only 2 ER visits and only a couple of attacks instead of weekly."


"I was on this medication via a pump for 31 weeks while being pregnant and it was the only medication that worked."


"I've had nexaplon for officially a month now. The site where it was inserted has almost healed- very little bruising or discoloration. I'm Black American with a mocha chocolate complexion, just to provide further details. My menstuation came a week late, I've always had a regular cycle. I wasn't sure if it was going to come. I've talked to my doctor who had that spotting for the first six months, which was good to know. At the time, my cycle had just ended so I wasn't sure if I would experience spotting or not. It's been almost five days since my period ended and I've had very minimal spotting. So, so far so good!"


"Only side effect is that it works really fast so if you take too much you will feel tired. Find the right dose and this medicine will treat your anxiety and depression symptoms for a couple hours. It just works really well and fast. Another problem is tolerance if one takes it regularly, one will need to increase the dose and side effects increase. The less you take it, the better it works."


"Very ineffective. Caused me to have a racing heart not sleep and to feel depressed and anxious the next day. Don't recommend"


"I had an accident in April 2016. Riding lawnmower fell on top of me in a deep ditch. It knocked me out and caused severe lumbar spinal stenosis , pinched nerves .  Up until this year I was in a lot of pain due to the nerves being pinched by my spine. All this time I have seen 3 doctors, really 4, one neurologist, 2 neurosurgeons, internist. No one even suggested Lyrica for my pain...except the neurologist who did the nerve conduction study. He said it worked for restless leg syndrome which I also have. I go some Lyrica and tried it. It has brought me from 10 pain level to a 2 or 3. I get up early now like I used to, I have the will to do things on my property etc. I had lost the desire to even get out of bed, I wish I had tried Lyrica a lot sooner, it gave me my life back."


"Ambien has been a huge help to me. I have horrible hot flashes whenever I try to fall asleep and end up awake all night. When I take half an Ambien I am able to fall asleep and I do not feel tired or out of it the next day. I am so grateful for this medication. It's helped the quality of my life substantially. I've never experienced the side effects others mention, I simply fall asleep."


"Been on Brintellix for 1 month as an add-on to my longtime SSRI, which had become much less effective in recent months. I felt better in 6 days after starting Brintellix: depression and anger lifted, I began to feel like doing this again. Every day is better and better."


"I have struggled with back pain for years sick of taking every pill for pain known to man as well as feeling like I couldn't get out of bed anymore I asked for cymbalta. I couldn't be happier I did, I realized the constant fatigue and well as heaviness was severe depression that lifted after a week (a week of side effect hell I might add). My pain is 80% gone and with two bulged disks and spinal arthritis everywhere I am so glad. After the 1-2 week a fog lifted and I could live again I am very thankful i continued with this med even after reading the horrible reviews and sticking with the side effects which were horrible as well. Within two weeks side effects were gone, three months later I can not be more pleased"


"I rate Nexplanon a 10/10 for birth control. I had it put in April 2016 and had it taken out October 2016 and never got pregnant....BUT I never knew when I was going to start my period and it gradually kept getting longer and was lasting 3 weeks so I had it taken out. I know it works differently for everyone. I was happy not to get pregnant but couldn't wait to get it out bc I couldn't control my periods with it in my body... plus it causes emotional changes and I cried all of the time.  It has been out for 6 weeks and I haven't had a period."


"I have used the patches for years after my first cruise without one. It is the ONLY thing that keeps motion or sea sickness at bay for me. My only complaint is the dry mouth while using it. My dry mouth goes way after about 24 hours."


"I've been on Dalmane for 21 years now, and my insomnia started after I went through a divorce and had my house, job, then boom!! I couldn't sleep for 3 days! One of the docs I worked with prescribed flurazepam, and started with 15 mg, but it just didn't give me a full nights sleep I am on 30 mgs a night..no side effects, and thankful that there is an aid to help me sleep!!!"


"3 year ago I was diagnosis with Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), 30 days of doxy. First year after, I had major bathroom problems, a headache lasted 6 months. I wanted to die. I went to a eye doctor, the bacteria was hiding, in my oil ducts. More doxy, and glasses, I can t produce tears any more, I have dry eye syndrome. 2 year, I started smelling, peroxide odor in my nose. Went to doctor. I had staph infection ,in nose from no tears ,more doxy. More digestive problems. This year ,I was feeling  really down, my wife begged me to get blood done, I went and my RMSF numbers double, 30 days of doxy, this time I exercise ,yoga every morning. I eat no yeast, gluten, red meat, and no sugar. And I eat probotics and prebotics. Mineral water. And no vitamins or supplements."


"I have been on Paxil for 3 months and had gained 6 pounds. Doesn't sound that bad, except I've been going to the gym like crazy to counteract this side effect and still the scale keeps creeping up.  I have almost zero interest in having sex and when I do have sex, I cannot have an orgasm. Any interest in sex I do have is counteracted by the fact that I feel gross having gained extra weight.  If I were single, I might not mind the sex issue as much, but if you are in a relationship, I would consider a different drug."


"I experienced coughing and muscle pain."


"I was on Depo for a total of 9 months, or 3 shots. The first was great! I had a little spotting towards the end, and it stopped after I got the second shot. A week after getting the second shot though, I started a heavy period that didn't stop for 6 months. It also made me depressed."


"The product sample worked great. However, when I went to fill my prescription, even WITH insurance, the cost was $100 per bottle. You should be ASHAMED!!"


"So I am on day 2 out of 5. First day was awful, 20 mins after my first dose I started getting extremely itchy on my throat, neck, and face; my bottom lip flared up and I got really nauseous. I turned the fan on, drank a bunch of water and lied down.I was going to discontinue it but after  a good hour all my symptoms went down. I decided to try it again this morning and i'm feeling fine! Still a little burning when I urinate but it is so much better now. Hoping this will work."


"The only side effect I've experienced is sleeplessness."


"This medication worked absolute wonders for me! After having tried several topical treatments on my adult acne, with little to no result it wasn't at all like teenage acne that I had experienced in high school. This acne came in my second year of university and lasted until my fourth and final year, which was when I decided to take action. I was prescribed minocycline. Although results will vary with EVERY person, my results were almost instantaneous! I took the pills the first day, went to bed. Took them the second day, went to bed... when I woke up I had almost NOTHING on my face. It was amazing and has stayed away. I was also lucky enough to not experience any side effects! It has been two years since, and the acne hasn't returned."


"A doctor once described this medicine to me as the "cough syrup of champions." He wasn't joking. My cough is gone within 10 minutes of drinking this golden liquid miracle. The only reason I didn't give it a full 10 is because of the risk of addiction. It feels amazing- so amazing that you might be tempted to take a little more. Just be careful and take it EXACTLY as prescribed."
