"I was prescribed Lexapro 10mg daily for severe depression when I was 22.  It blew me away by how well this little pill could make me feel.  Lexapro took care of my mental stress, but realized that I started getting side effects, which were leg cramps at night, night sweats, irritated stomach off and on, so I stopped taking it for 3 months, then all hell broke loose.  I had a panic attack while driving, and almost wrecked, was very moody with everyone, didn't want to talk to people, got overly emotional for no reason, so I made an appointment with my PCP, and was put on Effexor.  I feel the best I ever have, and don't have any side effects.  If I forget to take a dose, I become irritable, emotional, and very fatigued, so then I just take it."


"I got the implant in April of this year, and everything was going fine. Yeah I experienced some cramping and bad headaches but I was fine. Until now, my hair is falling out and starting to thin, I have bad chest pains, I get dizzy, nauseous, makes my stomach hurt with everything that I eat, depression, and suicidal thoughts. I'm getting this thing out. I do not want all of my hair falling out. If this is what I gotta go through just to not get pregnant, sex is out of the question."


"Yesterday I started to feel the symptoms of a yeast infection so I bought the one day monistat egg. I took this before about two months ago and it burned like hell and was up all night. But this time I slept fine but when I woke up and peed it started to burn and itch like hell. I recommend going to sleep and inserting it as far up as you can and taking Advil and going to sleep. Although the medicine burns and itches within two days your symptoms should be gone. The stuff does work."


"I have taken Moviprep before, the first time for a laparoscopic exam, and I am now taking it again for another laparoscopy to remove endometriosis. The first time, I took Moviprep at the instructed times, first litre at 5pm and second litre at 8-9pm. It was awful! I had to be at the hospital for 6am, and I literally hadn't slept because I was still going the toilet. Thankfully I was still able to have the procedure. This time I took the first litre at 3pm and the second litre at about 6pm, it is nearly 11pm and it hasn't stopped yet, but hopefully I will get more rest than last time.
I think it definitely does what it is intended for but the taste is disgusting, it tastes like really salty lemons, much better if you use a straw!"


"Great and I've been two years smoke free thank you so much"


"This is the 3rd time ive taken dulcolax, and my experience has been awful, all 3 times!! Be ready to experience stomach burn to the maximum.  It is so very awful. I gave it 3 chances, but that was it. It feels like you are going to die, the cramps and burning, not worth it. I am allergic to Miralax, so i will switch to a natural remedy, or maybe stay constipated, before i take this horrible pill again. I mean, it freaking works, but the stomach discomfort is insane... never again!"


"Magical.  I've had hyperhydrosis of the underarms since I was a teen and this is literally the only product that has ever worked.  Dry as a bone and so happy to wear bright colors."


"I'm a 19 year old girl and I've been diagnosed with Anxiety for a long time but never had an anxiety attack until now. My doctor prescribed me this medicine yesterday after I told her I had an anxiety attack 1 day ago. My heart was literally at a speed of 100 but she gave me medicine to slow it down. It really helped me sleep last night too. This medicine took me about 30-45 minutes to kick in and then it knocked me out and I was fast asleep."


"I'm going on my second week now. I had some burping and an over full bloated feeling that seems to have subsided. I also had a lil nausea at times but not bad. I had to force myself to eat the first week as well. Nothing sounded good. This coming Tuesday I go up to 1.8 dose. I though I was just imagining not being hungry because I like to eat but the fullness and over all lack of interest in food is awesome. Haven't weighed myself yet because I don't want to be discouraged, it's only been 2 weeks. Going to stick it out here's a tip, I bought Gas ex for the belching and tummy gas it helped a lot. Also don't eat late at night because what u eat is really slow to digest and it will keep u up at night. I do my shot at around 2 pm daily."


"Great pill,  because it made my periods regular but gave me MAJOR mood swing and headaches."


"I have been on it for two months now, and love the simple use. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, or making sure patches are sticking properly.
The downsides are that I seem to have easier to get headaches, but so far the more painful ones are not happeneing more than perhaps twice a month.
Another good thing though is that my menstruation is lighter and regular now. Before, it was very heavy and irregular."


"I've used this medication for many years. I'm currently at 60 MG per day (single dose). It has done a good job, although my good/bad ratio could be a bit better still.
HOWEVER, I do notice muscle aches when I use it. If I stop it, they stop. They are generally not severe, and not bad enough for me to stop using it.
I've been told (by my doctor and others) that an over the counter supplement called CoQ10 can help this-I've not tried this as of yet.
For people with muscle issues(check with the doctor if severe, of course), it may be worth a try (the CoQ10, I mean)."


"I had a similar experience to the person who posted before. After 2 surgeries in 5 years and going through almost all the drugs, we finally found something that works! Along with Micronor daily, Norethindrone for the past 8 months has done great with all my Endometriosis symptoms and I had them all.  No break through bleeding, no pelvic pain, no pain during sex."


"Once I got over the nausea, I loved how it helped me feel more human."


"This so called birth control took away 4 years of my life I can never get back! I ended up with copper toxicity, my hair fell out in clumps, my periods were so heavy I couldn't even leave my house because I was severely eniemic...let's not mention the severe anxiety that again kept me a prisoner in my home.

When I finally had the torture device removed it came out rusty and falling apart!  I still suffer long term effects from it. It needs to be removed from the market ...nothing good comes from it!"


"I have had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for the last 15 years(C.O.P.D.). And of course, coughing has been a very troublesome problem for me. About 10 years ago I pulled a muscle in my back and the doctor prescribed hydrocodone for me. I noticed immediately that relieved me off considerably. It also helps me breathe much easier. I believe it is a very effective cough suppressant."


"it hurt like anything the first night but it worked ! I was back to normal no itching and my discharge was back to its regular state. if you can't handle the pain for the first two days then don't get it. it worked just fine for me."


"Took Ambien CR for the 1st time last night. It took me about 20 minutes to fall asleep, but I did wake up twice during the night and was able to go right back to sleep. I was expecting a full nights sleep without waking up."


"This medicine has been a life saver. I was to the point where I thought I'd be in a constant state of panic (heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, hyperventilating). My symptoms initially got more intense once I started Zoloft, but after about 3-4 weeks I started to normalize.

I started at 25mg daily, which helped side effects, and gradually worked my way up to 50 mg. I found taking 25mg in the morning and 25 mg at night helped keep the side effects to a minimum.

After 2.5 months on Zoloft, I no longer need Xanax and my blood pressure has decreased dramatically. Whatever you do, don't hold up in your house while starting this medication. Get out and about, put yourself in uncomfortable situations."


"I was prescribed Lyrica about 3 years ago for post surgical neuropathy in my legs. While it does help with the nerve pain I accidentally stumbled onto another effect  of the drug, it absolutely wipes out my anxiety and depression. I've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and PTSD. Nothing I've tried in my experience has come close to helping my mental issues as much as Lyrica. There are some side effects in the beginning such as a little bit of a wobbly/buzzed feeling bit it subsides after a few days. The only two qualms I have with the drug are the price (about 12 bucks a pill without insurance) and I build a tolerance to it very quickly."


"I am late 60s with a demanding casual lover so absolutely need my best pal to work well. Unfortunately he began to let me down a year or so ago so on a friend's recommendation I got online prescription for Levitra. Amazing results, hard as a rock after about 45 minutes, and long-lasting as well. Even better, 3-4 times a night. She loves it, so do I."


"After several years of Zoloft use for GAD, I went off of it, under my dr's supervision. Felt Ok, then last year, had a lot of chronic pain, back & arthritis...heard that Cymbalta was good for all those--pain, depression and anxiety. Psych doc gave me samples, seemed to kick in pretty well & quickly. I have gone through 3 major surgeries in the last 18 months--and went off the Cymbalta b/c I thought I could handle it...Nope, I'm a mess. Needed daily clonazepam to cope. I just went though a 3rd and (Hopefully!!) final surgery 5 weeks ago. Hadn't taken any Cymbalta for months. I am going back on. Just got thru the worst anxiety attacks in my life following the 3rd surgery. I think the dose for me was 60mgs, and I will start it up again."


"I have been using Yaz for 1 year and still can't get regular periods. In fact sometimes I have my period for 2 weeks. It is horrendous and after reading these reviews will be changing. It is crazy expensive too!"


"I am 30 years old. I had a multiple composite spinal injuries 15 years ago. The aches and pains unbearable. I started taking anti-inflammatories about 2 years ago. I started getting injections every month of Toradol and "Depo" something. I am almost off all pain meds I mean I still have bad days but I can function again."


"I was told in 2004 that I tested positive for Hep C. Nothing was done about it. My liver enzymes were always off the scale, but no civilian doctor made much effort to diagnose the problem. Some seem to think I may have contracted it through a blood transfusion in 1985. Who knows?
The VA convinced me to be put on a 12 week program of Harvoni. So as it turns out I'm a Genotype 1a with a viral load of over 1.4 million. The first week of drug therapy I had trivial side effects, but no big deal, mostly headaches subsided by drinking more water. I had insomnia already so I can't say the Harvoni effected it.
Now, 34 days later, my blood tests show my viral load below 15. It definitely works."


"I've only used this medication for a few days and let me tell you..my acne is horrible. New pimples will come up but don't mess with them. I use noxema morning and night to wash my face and I also use coconut oil, I leave that on for an hour then wash it off. Don't stop using this medication! It really helps. If your acne is going through a purging stage, natural remedies help the most! Vitamin e oil and cream, coconut oil, and natural face washes. Don't wear makeup either it helps a ton."


"GIVE THIS MEDICATION TIME TO WORK. I have been suffering with acne since I was 12 years old, and I am 39 now. I started spironolactone 8 weeks ago. I would say that the bumpiness in my skin improved within the first week. But the breakout during the 2nd week and the residual mess during week 3 had me wearing turtlenecks. But after that, I saw nothing but improvement. Less and less acne, skin smoothing out, less oiliness. Now I am about 95% clear and I only expect it to get even better!"


"I have been taking progynova 1mg every 2nd day for the last month and was wanting to know if its side effects are pain in left chest area that comes and goes all day long"


"I've been on Wellbutrin for two months for depression. On Effexor I gained 30 pounds. I have already lost the 30 pounds in two months and my depression is considerably better."


"(2/2) from 0.6 to 1.2 I know my digestive system has slowed way down My doctor prescribed Metonia and Domperidone to counteract these side effects which seems to be working for me  I also notice my appetite has continued to be low and I get full very quickly my blood sugar stabilized with 3-4 day after starting the Victoza and despite the side effects I am happy with this medication but hope not to be on it long term as I worry about long term side effects I would recommend this"


"Lost 40% of Achilles' tendon!  All my tendons in hands, feet shoulders, neck ---actually, all o we my body are sore all the time!  Can't work out anymore, have a hard time doing housework, landscaping, sleeping,

Can't open bottles. Put my bra on because of the soreness in my shoulder muscles etc.

I hate this feeling all the time!  I am not myself anymore. Used to be the poster child of health for a 69 year old"


"I just started the 2 pills in the morning and one pill at night today. I have had no effects whatsoever other than feeling tired.  I have lost no weight and am hungry all the time.  I will continue it but not for much longer, very disappointed."


"75mg It did not relive pain but it made me drowsy and impaired"


"This is my second month taking Low Ogestrel. Definitely has helped with hormonal acne breakouts.. Still get a pimple every once in a while when I'm stressed and it's around my period. The only thing I'm concerned about is having a brown discharge instead of my period during the placebo week."


"This made my arms itch really bad and kept me up."


"I will start off by saying it did cause weight gain. My clothes fit the same but the number on the scale went up about 7-10 pounds depending on the day. I cannot say this is solely because the drug- I think I can safely say that this is because my pain has improved so drastically that I have appetite again. I can keep the weight off if I really want to, but I am not overweight and I am content with my appetite finally being back after years of struggles that I don't think it's a problem. Regardless, I have been on lyrica for almost a year now. It has drastically improved my nerve pain, joint stiffness and swelling (along with a gallon of water a day), appetite, energy, and sleep. I am not pain free but no fibromyalgia patient truly ever is pain free but my pain has gone from an average of 8-9 down to a 4-5 on my good days. My flare ups are far less frequent and I only experience them once every two or so months which is a huge improvement over every other week. The length of the flare ups is also shortened from 3-5 days down to 2 days maximum. At the beginning of taking the medicine I was slightly drowsy but nothing dangerous. I only take it once a day and I am trying to keep it that way to avoid moving up to 2 doses a day. Lyrica is my miracle drug and has definitely given me my life back. My biggest complaint is the cost and insurance but it could be worse. It costs me $2 a day to feel normal again."


"Horrible experience! I'm only on my 2nd month (as I have promised my Dr. i'd keep trying it) I have had major depression/anxiety since I've started this pill.  My sensitivity has shot way up, as so has my weight.  Still have cramping (which is why I started this pill in the first place). I have barely touched my boyfriend since taking this pill.  I went from having sex almost every day to having 0 sex drive. To the point where my boyfriend questioned my fidelity.  I stop taking it today. I'd rather put up with the bad periods/cramps than go through this"


"I had 3 miscarriages after getting the depo shot and I bled for 3 months straight.  I missed my window for having another child. So sorry I got this shot."


"This implant is evil!! I had it put in September of 2015 and it has been nothing but a headache. For the first month I didn't have any side effects but by the second month my face started breaking out so bad and I haven't had acne since I was about 13. Now my breakouts are starting to spread to my neck and chest! I also didn't have a period for 10 months while on this implant but then the week of my wedding I started my period! Now I have a period every other week. I have also had several pregnancy scares since I have gotten into my second year on this implant. I have had all of the pregnancy symptoms but all the tests came back negative.. I'm hoping to get this implant out soon and get back on the pill."


"I was given 7 monthly injections of Lupron, given to me at my PCP's office each month.  This was done for the fibroids I had and for the fact that I was on a plan to have an entire hysterectomy at the end of that 7 months. I bled very little really, but overall thats about the best thing I can say about that drug

After every injection I was an emotional basketcase before I could even get back to my car from the doctors office--emotional to the hilt.   I'd go home and then...become lost in my own surroundings in my own home.  I would not recommend anyone who's planning on having a hysterectomy to use this 'pre-surgery' drug. Ever.  I mean, its hard enough to have to get a hysterectomy to begin with, then make it harder on yourself?"


"To all the ladies reading the reviews and stressing out stop. This pill is very affective but stress will delay your period even more. Mine finally came today 9 days late. And I took the pill on day three after the 'accident'. I just kept stressing and stressing having parsley in tea and taking in lots of vitamin c and cinnamon paranoid. Reading reviews all day. The incident happened like 5 days before my period was supposed to start so this waiting game seemed like forever. My friends kept telling me to relax but I felt like I was going to die being 18 and all with overprotective parents. It was my first time and it didnt happened all the way but my friends told me about precum so I was terrified. Having bad cramps right now and bleedin:D"


"I take it as prescribed and have no side-effect at all. It just helps take away the pain (which it does a good job of).  "


"Ever since taking this my throat has been swollen. I told the dr & he doesn't think its from the Atenolol but it didn't start until then. Its hard to sleep at night. I have horrible eye pressure and it makes me anxious. I'm hoping I can switch meds soon. It doesn't reduce my pressure much at all."


"I have had it for 4 months. I had one period. It makes me nervous not having a period, but it's apparently super effective. I have had no other side effectives. Not having to worry about taking a pill every day is wonderful! Everyone is different, but I definitely suggest it."


"I'm currently taking it for sciatic nerve pain. Have previously taken narcotics with very little effect.  Diclofenac works wonders.  Mild upset stomach so far but not bad at all.  I've also noticed that the drug seems to become more active when taken with a decent amount of food and when you are active."


"Getting this implant in was a huge mistake! I was spotting most of the month following my period. ? I can't waste so much money on pads! And the acne. Oh my goodness my skin was ravaged. I broke out in HUGE CYSTS. Now that it's out the cysts are gone, but I have deep pitted scars that are probably going to need laser treatments in order to get rid of. The only good thing is that you can just have it inserted and forget about it. I'm going to try the copper IUD next since it doesn't have any hormones."


"I've been having some discomfort that my doctor felt could be prostatitis. So, until I could get in for a CT Scan and also see a urologist, he put me on Septra DS.  Everything was going fine until day 6.  I was on my 23 anniversary weekend and I got up that morning to take a nice hot bath in the hot tub in our room. When I got out of the hot tub and started to dry off I noticed hives on my inner thighs.  Looking in the mirror, I noticed that I was also covered in hives from my armpit to my waist on both sides.  The culprit?  Septra DS.  Within the next few hours I was covered on my back, stomach, legs, arms, and a few on my lips. Allergic reaction."


"Ativan is a life-line for me some days."


"I just start taking levora am wondering if the bad feeling is gonna go away. In the mornings when I brush my theeth I feel like I want to vomit  It gives me the feeling as if am pregnant and am waiting to see if this is gonna continue else I really have to stop taking it"


"First of all, let me start by saying that I hear that this is an expensive drug because of how new it is. Luckily for me (perhaps, lol), my insurance considera me catastrophic due to my checkered past, and pays the entire price because they want me to take this medication and stfu lol. Since taking Seroquel XR, my life has improved so much, and I really have never felt more stable in my life. I've tried anticonvulsants and other antipsychotics and they have not worked for me. This medication really does, to my surprise! The only downfall is that I've gained 10 pounds taking it, but any antipsychotic will do that. Strongly recommend Seroquel XR!"


"I use to be on 800mg of morphine instant release. Withdrawal was immediate (4-8 hours) if I ran out or missed my doses, usually it was the latter. As it was easy to increase dose without major side effects, I was always taking more rather then less and having to lie to my doctor about why I was always early. Finally went to detox 3 times and then started methadone. My highest dose 120mg, now 105mg, which works well for my pain."


"I really wanted Wellbutrin to work. I was given 150 mg once daily. At first it seemed to be helping with minimal side effects, but about 4 or 5 weeks in I was so depressed and not even getting out of bed. I was so agitated, even with the addition of a mood stabilizer. Wellbutrin was not a pleasant experience for me."


"I got Mirena inserted 2.5 years ago. The insertion was slightly painful but I'm good with pain. It wasn't till I left my doctors that I felt sharp cramps, which only lasted a day. At first I loved Mirena. I honestly can't take anyone's experience with Mirena less than a year seriously. That's because the first year of me having it I too thought it was amazing. No having to worry about the pill everyday, no bleeding, no pregnancy ! It was amazing, until about 9 months in. I started to get severe hormonal chin acne, mood swings, hair loss and dryness. I got my first BV infections, and the worst yeast infections. My sex drive is non existing anymore so that birth control within it own! Biggest factor was how crazy it's made me."


"I've only been on the implant since July and its September now and I still have my period...my mood swings are off the wall and worst of all my boobs and behind have both gotten smaller..the thing that worries me the most is I weigh the same but I feel so different. My emotions are controlling my life it seems. I don't know whether to tough it out because I'm not pregnant and that's working well for me or figure something else out...I've also had two experiences of chest/ arm/ back pain and random fevers...doctors don't help me....idk what to do. I think it's a good thing if you don't want kids right now but is it worth messing with your emotions and life.."


"Been taking Metformin for type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years.  Over the last five years my memory has gotten so bad that I almost can't function at work, I am dizzy, anxious, cold, and often confused.  My doctor said it was not due to the Metformin.  I lowered my dose myself and the coldness stopped and other symptoms improved slightly.  A year later they were even worse.  I cut my pills in half to reduce my dose again, and most of the symptoms went away.  Now that I have been on this reduced dose a while, the symptoms are slowly coming back.  I won't be taking Metformin any more.  It is a terrible way to live not ring able to remember what someone just said to you, where you left off counting, or how to get to the store.  I am only 44."


"I get recurring cases of impetigo and Keflex is always my go-to drug. Keflex clears up the infection quickly, and I've never experienced any side-effects, even if I take it on an empty stomach.  Highly recommended!"


"It has been great for treating the stomach ulcers but my insurance will only pay for 90 days in a 6 month period."


"I was recently in the hospital for a cyst that ended up being MRSA. It was one of the most painful things I've been through and it took 3 days in the Hospital with Antibiotics and IV Pain Meds (Dilaudid) to get me stable enough to go home. I was on 4mg of Dilaudid IV every 2 hours. For me, about 1 1/2 hours after getting the Dilaudid push I was starting to get in pain again. When I got it though, my pain instantly disappeared and I could get some rest. I can't take Morphine because it makes me vomit. This medicine was my lifesaver! The only thing is it made me itch so the doctor gave me Benadryl with every dose. Had no problem after that."


"I tried 40 mg of this medication for about 8 weeks. Initially (1st 2 weeks) it seemed to work. Then, for the last 6 weeks, it seemed not to work. I had side effects of tummy pain, leg cramps and irritability. My doctor insisted I was getting better and just needed a higher dose. So she put me on 80 mg of this medication. I began to experience extreme bursts of anger and negativity, which of course only worsened the depression. I also had horrid stomach pain and couldn't tolerate it. After going off the medicine, I felt much better. No expense, no leg cramps, heart rate down, rage bursts abruptly stopped after about a week. Yay, I guess. Back to Amitriptyline..."


"Hydrocodone with acetaminophen seems to be the only thing that works without side effects."


"This is the ONLY medication that works!"


"If plan B worked for people it's because they were not meant to be pregnant in the first place. I took plan B within one hour and it failed. The condom slipped off but he mostly ejaculated in the condom. I was sure I had some sperm left around my vaginal walls so I took plan b. I suffered the worst abdominal cramps and it did nothing to prevent pregnancy."


"This medicine works extremely well, however, the next morning had a massive "hangover". I have a horrible headache and feel like my head weighs a ton."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"For the past 2 years I have had itching on my head. Can be any area of scalp. None on face. I take 50 mg of antihistimine every day, just to keep it mild.  But it doesn't stop it. No redness, no dry scalp."


"The first time I had bv I was given cream for 5 days that worked fine, the second time with bv I had pills they were better than cream. 3 rd time with bv pill again for 7 days after day 2 the worst side effects ever had with any meds, only on day 4 and don't want to take anymore pills, metal taste in mouth, constant nausea, head aches I hate this pill but it seem its taking long to clear up. Still having discharge I rather have the cream."


"I have chronic allergies (undiagnosed). I suffer from dry , red, stinging eyes and a nose that gets stuffy even with turbinate reduction surgery as well as general fatigue and low energy. Claritin helped me feel functional again and I can look people in the eye when I talk to them. Nose it a lot more clear. It is VERY important to take it for a week before it provides full relief. This did not start working for me till day 4 and now I feel great , perhaps the best ever.

I am giving it an 8 because it causes me dry mouth and my sleep is not the greatest.

The point of this review is not to fully trust all the negative reviews. Try it for yourself every day for one , maybe even 2 weeks and see how it affects you.

Best of luck."


"The first week I started trulicity I was very nauseous! I take xigduo and truly city. I really didn't want to eat, it made me thirsty, I was drinking plenty of water. The only side effect I had was the nausea, it felt like when was pregnant but after the first week it stopped. I've lost 15 healthy pounds in 3 weeks with dieting and exercise. I recently became sick (unrelated to the medications) and had to stop taking my xigduo due IV contrast for the next two days, well my blood sugar numbers are still below 120 with trulicity alone. It's been working good for me."


"This is the greatest acne soap on the market.  I had an extreme case of acne when  I was in high school.  After using Fostex for 2 weeks my skin was as clear as. "


"I was put on Lutera because of my unpredictable periods. I was bleeding non-stop for three months straight and after starting to take this pill the bleeding has stopped and almost two weeks later has not started again. Although I'm happy it's regulating my periods I have found it to make me extremely sick. It makes me nauseous to the point where everything is spinning. In addition it has caused significant mood swings. I find myself getting upset quicker and have more of an appetite. The most significant problem I have had is problems with visions. Upon taking the pill I've had trouble focusing and getting dizzy. I'm going to continue for two more months to try to regulate my period then coming off Lutera due to the way I'm feeling."


"Husband has been on Endocet for 7 years. It was the only narcotic pain reliever that works for him.  He refuses to accept other generics as they do not work as well for him.

I am sure body chemistry plays a roll in which med works for each individual.  For him, Endocet is the best."


"I started this depo shot back in September 2016 because it was suggested that I got on birth control for a few reasons. The first two months (September and October) were great... I didn't even get my period the entire time. But once November (my last month) came, I was bleeding non-stop. It wasn't heavy bleeding but everyday I needed to wear a pad cause I was bleeding enough for one. The whole month of November I couldn't even have sex cause I was bleeding like crazy and it wouldn't stop! Not only that, but I really hated the way that this birth control made me feel... I was extremely moody and almost depressed for some of December. I was so happy when I was off the shot and I'm now on birth control pills and so far it's going well"


"Have had chronic lower back pain for over a decade. Insurance co made me switch to Xtampza from OC. First few weeks were a bit of a challenge because we had to find what dosage strength and dosing frequency was best for me. But once we got through this, I find the drug works well when I use as directed particularly as it relates to diet. Also have my backup of fast acting pills when I have breakthrough pain. I think people that say this drug doesn't work aren't being dosed appropriately or they have just been on high doses of OC alongside short-acting narcotics for so long that they are just too far along to be helped by anything new because your bodies have just gotten so used to your incredible high dose OC regimen. Sorry but push through"


"I used this pill for less than 5 full months. The 1st month, I had headaches, breast tenderness and nausea. The 2nd month I spotted for 14 days straight. I even had cramps. I also had nausea and felt really hungry. The 3rd and 4th month were the best! Short periods, almost no cramps. I also had a little acne. The 5th month I started to spot 10 pills in and I haven't stopped since. It's been 9 days. I switched pills 2 days ago and I'm still spotting because of LoLo. It's not a terrible pill but I don't recommend it. Spotting continuously is really not fun and expensive. I'm hopeful my new birth control will get the spotting to stop soon."


"Been using since 2002.  Has controlled my anxiety.  Even though I could have gone off of in 2005, have decided that it is not worth going off of.  I like the assurance that normal will stay normal."


"This medication caused me severe, episodic dizziness."


"I am using the Monistat seven and I am telling you this stuff burns and itches so bad. it is ridiculous I have been burning and I have been itching for the past hour I've been  taking the medicine for four days and the burning is still extremely unbearable I really want to know who approved this because this feels horrible I am just glad that the burning and itching means it works  but it is extremely extremely too unbearable. My YI is nowhere near as bad as this."


"I have been on Arimidex for almost a year now; as far as side effects, most problematic for me seems to be weight gain.  Sure hope and pray I have no more serious side effects than this.  Take my Arimidex every morning with breakfast."


"I really wanted to like this birth control. It cleared up my acne significantly and my period was light and around two days. Unfortunately about a month and I half into it I started itching like CRAZY. Anywhere I scratched little red bumps would come to the surface of my skin. I had no idea what was going on and thought I was allergic to my new deodorant and it took me about two weeks to decide to go to the doctor. She told me I was the second person to come in on the same BC with the same problems! She had me immediately stop taking it and the itching stopped within the next couple of days. Another note, this BC did make me extremely moody. So maybe it was for the best I was allergic to it!"


"We'll I've had spots on my cheeks, neck, forehead and the bridge between my eye brows for ages, they never mature (into a whitehead) but just seem to stay and blend in with my skin leaving my skin tense, dry, and dark especially around the cheeks, I was prescribed 30g Duac on 19/02/16 so I shall return in about a month for an update but after a week I see no changes to my skin as of yet!"


"I have found that as a 8 year drug addict to painkillers I was able to focus on staying off my drug of choice by taking Adderall. I believe it has helped me stay clean and off all painkillers for 1 year now. "


"Reduced my libido to absolutely nothing, daily migraines, cystic acne, cramps became worse, I had no emotions, hair loss/lifeless hair, and I gained 8 pounds within one month of starting this birth control. I just stopped taking this medication and hopefully my body will be able to get back to normal. I have taken other birth control medications in the past and none of them affected me like this one so just beware of reclipsen."


"November 2013 I had surgery to remove a 10-pound fibroid tumor, ever since then I have had irregular periods. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years with no luck. I have multiple ovarian cysts that are causing sharp shooting pain. I was just put on Provera 10mg for 6 days during day 16-21 last month. After the first day of taking it, I have been bleeding heavily; I have used a whole box of pads in less than 7 days of bleeding. I am used to having 1-3 day period, so this sucks major."


"As an adult, I was prescribed this medicine for sinusitis and Otis media (fluid in my inner ear) for 10 days.  I went back to the doctor to have my ear checked and still had fluid in my ears.  After only 3 or 4 days off the medicine, I became worse, went back to the doctor again who prescribed another 14 days on this medication along with 9 days of Prednisone.  I still have a middle ear infection.  "


"I've been on Nuvaring just over three months and I love it. Had a little weight gain at the beginning but that can happen with all birth controls. I only just had my first period on it and it was short, painless and no moodiness with it! Great! Also my sex drive has increased and both me and my husband don't feel it! No loss of ring or falling out! Wish I had heard about Nuvaring years ago!"


"It seems to be making me slightly drowsy. But I'm sure after a few days I wont feel anything."


"I'm a 36 year old female. I was overweight by 13 lbs. I know that's not a lot but I was afraid of gaining even more weight. I was hungry all the time. I would eat a big meal at lunch and feel like I was starving an hour later. My doctor prescribed me Belviq 6 weeks ago, I've lost 20 lbs so far. I use my Gear fit 2 to track my steps and water intake. I'm also using the S health app on my phone to track my calories. I eat no more then 1200 calories per day. I only drink water. No alcohol, no soda, no coffee. The first day I took Belviq, I did have a headache and I felt dizzy. By the next day I felt normal again. I went on the Belviq website to download their coupon. I do not go through my insurance. I pay $75 per month. Well worth it!"


"Helps with anxiety and racing thoughts. Calms my mood down when angry and upset. Side effect is weight gain and being tired."


"Am on day six of 10 course for pneumonia. Had a injectable at Dr. Office and then oral meds. Noticed major improvement in coughing and wheezing in 48 hours. Nearly all pneumonia symptoms now abated. Have had major side effects. No appetite, severe dizziness and confusion (just trying to answer work email has been a challenge). I've also experienced constipation and very bad acid reflux. Overall very effective but I'm pretty incapacitated by the side effects."


"I have frequent kidney infections and this antibiotic didn't help at at. I've been doubled over in pain"


"I have fibromyalgia; my doctor prescribed Tramadol (Ultram) between 50-200 mg/day as needed. It worked great for about 6 months. Then I started itching all over. The itching was worse than the pain. I find that now I can only take 50 mg/day (before bed). If I take any more than that, the itching returns. Benadryl only helps a little. It was a wonderful medicine for me while it lasted."


"I have been on Lyrica for 1.5 years and it took away 90% nerve pain. HUGE weight gain 30lbs, blurry vision, A LOT of swelling through out my body, confusion. "


"I was wondering why I was so fatigued and now the mystery is solved thanks to this page.  It has alleviated the UTI symptoms but from reading through the board, it looks like there are better options."


"I just started the nuvaring last month, my first 3 weeks on it were awesome. I had the implant in my arm for 2 1/2 years and bled all the time so I decided to try the nuvaring. My first month was the best! I didn't gain any weight (I weigh in daily), I was a little moody (but I'm naturally pretty moody/emotional anyways), and the constant irregular bleeding was stopped and regulated within days on it. The only downside of it for me was I started getting headaches from it - easily cured with water and Advil! Another issue I had was my doctors didn't describe how to remove it/location so I was panicking about that but it was easy once I figured it out! Just set it and forget it for 3 weeks - I love it!!!"


"I have suffered from anxiety my whole life but it never got to the point where I felt like it was ruining parts of my life. Then both of my parents got sick and out of nowhere I could barely eat, go out and everyday felt like a battle. I was prescribed Lexapro and at first I was so anxious to take the medicine that the first week of taking it really spiked my anxiety. After about 10-14 days I felt amazing! I could eat again without feeling like I was choking on everything and I felt like my old self again. Actually like a better version of my old self. I would strongly recommend this medicine to anyone suffering from anxiety. Just know that it takes a little while for it to work and the first week can be terrible. Just stick with it!"


"I have been in methotrexate for 6 weeks now. So far, itchiness has been reduced significantly; lesions in my lower leg have dried up (light brown now); other lesions appear to be clearing up though slowly. Side effects to me are nausea, feeling giddy and occasional headache though not severe.

May I ask those who are in the same medication: how long did it take for all lesions to be cleared? about 70% of my body has psoriasis. Thank you.   ."


"I had mild acne until I went on Benzaclin. Usually 4-5 pimples at any time. After using Benzaclin for a week, I can say my acne has completely cleared up! I apply a thin layer all over my face. It is very tempting to apply more to troublesome areas but additional product will only cause dryness. I still have red marks from where the pimples were but am sure that within a month or so they too will be gone!"


"They make me feel good and productive only use it when I have pain that won't go with  the usual medication."


"I have been on Repatha for over 6 months.  It has worked wonderful for me.  My cholesterol is down to approximately 30.

Sadly I note some side effects on certain patients as noted in some of these reports.   I am sorry to hear of this as Repatha certainly has done it's job for me.   As for me-

I have had NO SIDE EFFECTS  from REPATHA.  When I administer this drug into my belly, (the needle barely penetrates the skin) I have a slight sensation of this substance going into my body.  This feeling lasts for about 30 seconds.

I have had quad by-pass surgery and most certainly am trying to keep my cholesterol count to a minimum.  Repatha is certainly doing this with me.

I would not hesitate to suggest Repatha to any of my friends or family."


"Drowsiness but no sleep, so much worse than the Ambien and Lunesta that at least work a little.  Finally fell asleep at 6am, woke three hours later, felt like death all day.  Dizzy, drowsy, poor appetite, felt like my body was made of lead.  I'm often low energy but this was scary.  Took for one night, would rather stay awake all night than do it againz"


"I've had Hep c for 31 yrs, Genotype 2 , and today I just took my first pill .. Feeling hopeful to the side effects I've heard are minimal .. I will update you all in a few weeks . Thank you all for your opinions on this magical drug ."


"While on this drug, I could not look at something without it moving. I felt a severe pain behind my eyes and no longer was able to sleep. I was put on this medication where they use it for patients with seizures more than any other drug. It was honestly a horrible experience, I would rather have seizures than be on this to be 100% honest with all of you. Really awful, do not let your doctors push this crap on you, I promise it is not worth it!"


"The taste was the worst part, followed by all the water. I mixed the first dose with white cherry powerade after reading the recommendations of some the reviews, and I wish I hadn't. That made it worse. I could hardly stomach it. My instructions said to drink it within 20 min, but I think it took three or four hours for me to finish 70% of it. I gave up on the rest and poured it back into the little bottle so I could use the water cup, and after my stomach calmed down attempted to drink the remainder. It was easier drinking it out of that little bottle since I couldn't smell it. The second morning dose mixed with plain water was much easier to swallow. Bowels were liquid fairly quick, though weren't clear until 2hr before procedure."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for much longer than anyone knew what it was. I was a kid in the 70's getting in trouble for "squirming" at my desk. It tends to act up more with periods of activity. When my wife and I were dating, I was at the gym and riding a bike and I would wake up in the middle of the night and do stretches and anything to try and make the feeling go away. Recently, is has become unbearable again for some reason, it is ten years after the last bad period.

I have tried Lyrica, which did not seem to help, Neurontin - which helped some but was wiping me out with tiredness and I just switched to Mirapex because I couldn't see that 1-2mg a night was doing anything but making me nauseous.

"


"Well I had a terrible experience on this birthcontrol. I won't say it's a terrible birth control because I know everyone is different. But starting off I experienced mild nausea and mood swings. I was much more snippy then usual and irritable. After the first week I started getting a few deep cystic pimples, one along my jaw and another on my chin. The worst part was my first menstrual cycle, it was excruciating strong cramps like someone stabbed me, radiating to my legs and stomach. I couldn't walk. LARGE clots, I ran thru super plus tampons every hour. I became so anemic I was advised to go to the ER by my PCP. But over all, I didn't get pregnant? Wasn't worth it to me. I stopped after two months I couldn't adjust to this pill."


"I had this put in about 6 months ago after I had a miscarriage due to the type of blood I have. Anyways, I have had it for a while now and didn't have any problems with it until now. I have been having my uterus contract as if I were having another miscarriage for the past month and a half now. I have to take 5 ibuprofen every morning to even wake up feeling okay, and now I am pretty sure that I have a ectopic pregnancy and if so then that means I am going to lose another baby. I HIGHLY don't recommend it."


"I've had it for two year now. It works great, I haven't had any surprise pregnancies... But, I have gained 40 lbs since  then despite exercising a 3-5 times a week and controlled eating habits. The first few months I felt really fatigued and got a lot of large acne flare ups and my appetite increased like crazy - I was never satisfied/full. I gained 10 lbs those first few months. I've had no bleeding at all, which was nice. Those are my only complaints. I will be getting off the shot bc with all my physical activity and limited eating, I still gain weight :("


"I've been fighting with sleep issues for 9 years now, and was just diagnosed with Idiopathic Hypersomnia this Wednesday. I've been taking 250mg/day of Nuvigil since Friday morning. The medication worked great during the day on Friday. I used to sleep somewhere between 12 - 18 hours per day, and would fall asleep any time. I was relaxed up until then. However, I couldn't sleep Friday night at all. Took it again Saturday morning after no sleep, and it dragged me through the day. Still couldn't force myself to sleep Saturday night. Finally slept 3 hours last night after experiencing hallucinations. Hoping I'll acclimate well after a few weeks, as Friday I felt better during the day than ever before. Want that feeling back again."


"I have scoliosis and lots of leg cramps due to diabetes. Soma has a relaxing effect and your muscles release. I've been taking them for 9 years. I take 4 per day no long term problems for me. "


"I've had Mirena for exactly 6 days and I'm still experiencing minor cramping. The spotting only lasted for a day and a half. I've gotten used to the cramping but if it gets too annoying I just pop a Motrin. The process itself was extremely painful because I'd never experienced cramps before hand. I'd say the part that was painful though was the dilation of my cervix. The second day was much better. I didn't have a sex drive for the first 3 days but on the 4th day I was ready to go. My face is clearer than ever. No regrets. Results may vary guys. Make your GYN your bestie just to stay on top of things. Good luck!"


"I started risperidone after my last hospitalization for PTSD with psychosis. Before risperidone I suffered from insomnia, nightmares, and paranoia that lead me to full blown psychotic state. I now live a more normal life with few symptoms. I take risperidone with sertraline and clonazepam at night then pass out for about 10 hours. I suffer from mental fog and lack of emotion on the drug. I don't fully wake up until about 4 pm after my afternoon nap. It has also caused my periods to stop and enlarged breasts that leak once I up'd to 2 mg. Going to try ziprazidone next to see if I can have better quality of life."


"Opcon-A relieves my eye soreness and eliminates redness better than any other over-the-counter product (such as Visine) and Pataday (Rx and a bank loan are required, but it causes eye twitching after a few days of use as Pataday instructs).  I use Opcon-A once or twice per day only on days that my eyes become tired due to combination of chronic dry eye, possible eye allergy, and lack of sleep. (My eyes are red even on good days except for a while after using Opcon-A.) At age 58 now, no side effects have been observed despite occasional use for many years."


"on Prozac (Lovan) for 4 years, felt it was no longer helping and read about a type of antidepressant that targets your neorephrine (noradrenaline) re uptake, not just seratonin. mentioned it to doctor, he recommended Pristiq but I had to stop taking the Prozac for a month before starting Pristiq (hell.) Thought I made a terrible mistake as it didn't start working for at least 3 months. Difference is Prozac inhibits you from feeling emotions whereas Pristiq allows you to feel and be able to deal with them. No side effect but if I miss a dose in morning by lunchtime I'm so dizzy and lightheaded!"


"I have had a tremendous hacking cough with walking pneumonia. At my one week follow up, a coughing jag in front of the doctor made him immediately prescribe this drug in the 200mg dosage twice daily. I took it for the first time last night and felt a bit disoriented when it first kicked in. It kept me quiet for most of the night. No cough medicine is going to completely stop your coughing -- and I don't think you'd want it to. Having said that, I've gotten 8 hours of blessed relief and am grateful for this medicine."


"I have been prescribed Citalopram for post traumatic stress disorder. I actually don't mind the initial side effects, a slight jaw gurning, dilated pupils, tingles in the head and a general feeling of mild euphoria, which increases when I drink coffee, since the alternative was gut-wrenching fear and panic, pushing loved ones away and an inability to concentrate on anything as I sank into despair.  It has stabilized my moods. I feel good, I feel like spending time with people, little things don't bother me, I don't over analyze, so it works really well for me."


"A minute after inserting the first depository my area shown there started itching :( more so than it did before! I googled if this itching was normal and came across this website w reviews and was glad I'm not the only one experiencing them. I just wish i would've read them prior to spending $15 for this and used it to go to the doctor instead! This is a waste of money."


"I had tried patches before and nothing stays on but about 4 yrs ago I tried SalonPas which were ridiculously inexpensive so my expectations were extremely low and they stayed on UNTIL I TOOK IT OFF BY CHOICE OVER 6 HOURS LATER but they they contained no lidocaine ...within last month I heard they came out with lidocaine patches and rushed to get them ..only $8.00 for box of 5 or 6 and so happy I did they have come through again with low cost effective (more so than name brand) pain relieving product.."


"After two and a half months of constantly being "down in the hole", my mood is finally starting to improve. I went from 10 to 20mg and it finally started working. Don't give up!"


"I was on this medicine for about 6 months and in that time I felt worse than when I wasn't taking it. It took the migraines away but I still had muscle aches, fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails and more. The huge symptom I had on this medicine that bothered me is the depression. I felt dread and doom everyday. I couldn't take it anymore, so I stopped taking it, then I went to a different doctor that prescribed me Armour."


"These things are all true, but it is also a very urinary specific drug that does the job when a lot of broad-spectrum antibiotics won't."


"I had the IUD before beginning nexplanon, the IUD was the worst, it pinched inside and it stole my sex drive beware!! I've had nexplanon for over 2 years already. The first half a year with it, I experienced annoying mood swings. You will gain weight if you don't take care of yourself (diet/exercise), almost guaranteed! First year no periods, second year periods are now twice monthly. It is effective on preventing pregnancy. Yet you have to think about the side effects, as other birth control. The IUD was a nightmare for me, please do your research!!! If I can choose between that and nexplanon I would choose nexplanon for sure. Probably the worst for me are the even heavier periods, it's almost like they are backed up from last year."


"I personally I liked the Nuvaring. I am very forgetful and I had been on the pill before, so I am happy I switched to this. I was on it for about a year, and just now switched to Nexplanon, because of my insurance. Nuvaring worked very well for me for the most part. The first 3 months when I put the ring in after the ring free break, I would be very nauseous because my body didn't have the hormones for a week, that was a downside. Another thing is about 6 months into it I felt like I had no sex drive. That lasted for about 2 months or so but I am not sure if I can blame the ring for that. Other than that, I would recommend it!"


"I was told Tamiflu was amazing but I didn't think it was going to be. I got the medicine the first day I discovered I had all the symptoms of the flu. I was running a fever of 102 and my body was killing me. It hurt to move at all. I took my first dose at night. I woke up the next morning and my body felt like I had experienced a miracle. My muscles weren't sore anymore AT ALL. I felt at least 50% better after one dose! I'm on day 3 of the medicine and I feel pretty good considering how the flu usually has you feeling. I predict I will be fully functioning by tomorrow."


"I got Implanon inserted in May 2010, and have been bleeding heavily ever since. I am going to see my obgyn tomorrow to see about getting it removed. I have no sex drive. I like the fact I won't get pregnant. "


"I am literally  so thankful for this medication, even though I don't even take it anymore.  I took it for 1.5 years. I had horrible insomnia. I was in my first year of med school, and it was getting to the point where my mind was so cloudy, so sick from the lack of quality sleep that I began nearly failing my tests. I had anhedonia, social anxiety, suicidal dreams, no appetite, etc. The first night I took trazodone, my life changed, and all my symptoms washed away. The moment I began sleeping well on trazodone, my grades shot up, my social anxiety was gone, etc etc. This saved me life."


"Look for a 3M brand product called TEGADERM. It is a transparent dressing. It's amazing at keeping the duragesic patches on.

I think fentanyl patches are excellent for chronic pain."


"I've been using Otezla for around three months now.  I had some minor side effects of loose stool and headaches.  They have subsided and don't affect me anymore.  I'm probably 80% clear now.  This time of year I normally have a large increase of lesions.  Not only have the lesions gone away, no new ones have formed.  It will be nice to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts again.  For me, this med has worked great."


"Aviane was my first and only birth control method. I did not experience any of the negative side-effects, save for some occasional bloating. It didn't affect my mood, and it was fairly easy to use. It's great, and I'm going to start up on it again now that I'm in a new relationship after a year of the single life. I'd still recommend using condoms as well, but from the sounds of it, other ladies find this pill very reliable!"


"This medication has provided constipation relief. I have been taking it for a year. I have followed the directions of taking the medicine 30 minutes before breakfast...my experience has been that if I don't make it a point to go to the restroom within 30 minutes after breakfast, I won't be able to release. I'll be bloated all day. I noticed this when I found myself preoccupied at work and realized that I had forgotten to use restroom. I have been having my breakfast and making it a point to go to the restroom within 15 minutes and it has been great. I do get bloating and some cramping after eating lunch. I wish I could use the restroom after every meal though."


"The acidophilus with pectin radiace and digestive ......I read reviews on other sites and decided to try this product it great with digestion and yeast I give it a 100% rating

NO MORE YEAST WITH THIS .a,hundred capsule u take it weeks before to help fight off yeast inflection.and week after.Im glad of the reviews that are true so I give a raring thats a sure go .ive used this product and still is a good one.."


"I've been on the nuva ring for about 3 years now. I have had no problems except I literally have no sex drive anymore. Which really sucks. I constantly feel bad for my boyfriend of 4 years because I just have no desire for it at all, which makes sex painful because I am not wet enough. This is unfortunate because I love every thing about the nuva ring besides that one issue. However, I am still probably going to switch to something else because that is a big factor for me."


"Had a thyroidectomy about 6 years ago, gained lots of weight almost every day since. Then my endo put me on Qsymia for a little more than 3 weeks now, down 14lbs. Other than a minor amount of dry mouth and minor tingling in my feet, no side effects. Really helps with hunger and cravings for sweets.  So far, good stuff!"


"I’ve been on nexplanon for 9 months

Pros : don’t have to worry about taking it on time, easy and fairly painless  insertion, doesn’t have negatives of an IUD like cramping and painful sex, don’t have to think about it, bigger boobs (some people may not like this), less periods, no babies

Cons: getting hormonal acne (I have never had acne growing up until now at 23...) , random periods that you can’t predict (even at 9 months it will come for 3 weeks even and go away for a long time- it’s annoying), expensive

I’ve also have had an lower libido but not sure if it’s from BC but my doctor can tell there’s a lot of hormonal things going on that I haven't had before."


"I must have gotten Hep C back in the 70s when I shot heroine for a fun experience.  What a jerk when I found out about 10 years ago that I had Hep C.  I was involved in a trial using interferon  injections that was a disaster and the study was discontinued because it did not work.  It destroyed my thyroid, I lost my hair and got really sick.  I just started on Harvoni today and appreciate reading all your experiences as I'm a bit scared,  I'm glad that I'm getting the Harvoni for free.   No side affects so far except gratefulness."


"Took 1 tablet by mouth twice a day and it was prescribed for 7 days. Experienced multiple side affects such as vomiting constantly, headache, nausea and dizziness. I couldn't handle it anymore so I stopped on the second day. Didn't work for me."


"I've been on it for about 3 years, it works as I haven't gotten pregnant. My first 3 months were horrible with nausea and vomiting on the first 2 weeks of the pack. I take my pill at night so waking up on the first weeks of the pack was horrible. My doctor warned me of feeling 'morning sickness' but the nausea subsided after the 3 months. I still occasionally get some nausea but it's only if I missed a dose and had to take 2 on the same day. My periods are about 3 days and light. I always get it by the third day of taking the placebo pills.  Some months I get cramps but they're not painful. I get  PMS one week before my period, and I've noticed I get really depressed, emotional And get chin acne. I've gotten used to it so I'm okay with it."


"I tried Savella with the starter pack.  I experienced terrible nausea, insomnia, hot flashes, racing heart and fever.  My doctor reduced the dosage back to 12.5 mg but with very little improvement of side effects.  She finally told me to stop taking it.  I have had great results with my other medications and I wasn't having any issues but my doctor wanted me to try this new "great" medication.  I haven't felt this bad in years.  If I were having problems I could understand her trying the Savella with me but for ME this medicaiton made me feel worse than I have in a very long time.  I am relieved to be off of it.  In the future if my other medications become less effective I might give it another shot.. but for now "No Thanks"."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"39 year old male, 1st colonoscopy.  I had already read several of the reviews of the product but did not fully know what to expect.  Started 1st dose at 6pm night before procedure and meds began working around the 1 hour mark.  No cramping, pain or discomfort whatsoever.  Took the second dose at midnight with similar results.  Finished getting ready of all the liquids an hour before the procedure and everything went smooth.  Aside from the obvious bad taste, the doses worked fine.  No side effects other than lost sleep prepping for an early morning procedure."


"I have struggled with Acne since puberty. I started using Atralin in my 40's. This has been the only product to ever get my acne under control. So nice to be free from worry. Go to the beach, work out, wear no make up sometimes! I wish this was around when I was younger and perhaps would of avoided so much scaring. For me my scars are really all over except my face so I did luck out with that. Also it makes skin smoother and skin look younger. Cost has gone now which is a plus ,used to be very expensive when it first came out. If I stop it acne always comes back. So I have to use it every night. I combine it with another acne lotion from my dermatologist. I have light sensitive skin and it does not irritate it like other products."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I've spent many hours reading all sorts of horror stories on MoviPrep.  Here's mine (I'm currently on the final glass of the 2nd dose).  Two days before procedure I ate very lightly.  Yesterday, I ate nothing, but did drink lots of fluids including Gatorade.  Drank the first 32 oz at 6 pm.  Took me 1.25 hours to get it down.  Tastes yucky, but not THAT bad.  Results started pretty much right after that and I stayed in the toilet for a solid hour or more.  It didn't hurt, just a little uncomfortable and some tummy gurgling.  Went to bed and got some sleep, but woke up feeling a little nauseous.  Then I had to get up at 3:30 to do my 2nd liter.  Almost done now.  We'll see if all goes well at appointment."


"Zoloft (Sertraline) is an SDRI which was prescribed to me for Social Anxiety and Depression. I am currently at 200mg, although I started at 25mg and was eventually risen to my current dose. This was not rapid, as it actually took three months before I reached my current dose due to an insufficient response to lower doses.

In my experience, this medication managed to ease my depression - from severe to mild and persistent to occasional, also this effect was notable at only 75mg. Social Anxiety was slightly more troublesome, not responding to lower doses although I eventually, after three months, began to notice a slight change in the severity of my SAnD when I reached 150mg. I am currently noticing changes, although quite slowly."


"Great site, read all the comments, I have only 1 kidney and been suffering form BPH for the last 3 plus years due to 1 Kidney removal. Have tried flow max - horrible side effects and loss of any
sexual appeal. Having 1 kidney Hopefully my urologist can prescribe Cialis, Again great comments."


"I will never take Cipro again.  After the 3rd pill, I developed tingling in my hands, legs, and feet. I stopped taking it, but the symptoms still persist.  I cannot sleep at night and the tingling is constant.  I've read this is called being "floxied" and is more common than you might think.  I am seeing a Naturopathic doctor next week to try to reverse these awful side effects.  Don't take Cipro!"


"45 year old male. Healthy but fat.  Falling Libido, no energy, no joy of life, cranky, lack of focus and gaining weight. Fatigue so high it was hard to get out of bed.
T levels 170. I have been on Axiron for 60 days.
Wow what a difference.  First few days I had some nausea and cramping, mood improvement was next followed by increased energy and screaming boost in libido. Wife now dreads the new me, she thought she was done running away and keeping me off her.  Back in the Gym after 30 days.  Still going 3 days a week doing 45 min of Cardio and 15 min weight lifting.  Not a lot but for me its huge improvement. Insurace wants to talk to my Doctor about my need.  This product is awesome and I will fight to keep it."


"I've taken Lyza for a few months now and sometimes I forget to take it or miss a few days but it still works pretty well. My periods have been getting shorter each time month and I have not experienced weight gain. But then again I exercise and eat fairly healthy on a daily, but I do get headaches and I'm pretty sure it's not from the pills it's more from me not wearing glasses and I have terrible vision! But it seems to be working for me."


"I have been taking seasonale for two months now.  I noticed I have been extremely tired and have a low sex drive.  I gained weight while on it which is not like me because I am very careful with my body.  I feel very blah and low now that I am on it.  I had breakthrough bleeding right away and have spotting every time I shower or go to the bathroom.  I do not like how this pill has made me feel.  I am going off of it today."


"Shingles 5 years ago , chronic PHN Trigeminal Upper Branch Nerve Pain Discomfort since , used Lidoderm Lidocaine patch , that lost it's ability to relieve , tried other topical creams Eucerin skin calming creme w/ drop of Geranium Oil mixed and worked into affected area , after awhile that lost it's ability as well .
Tonight tried Capzacin again , used years ago didn't do much , yet tonight it did , we'll see tomorrow ."


"I was put on paroxetine for anxiety and depression and it has helped me so much! I first started out on lexapro which caused me horrible insomnia and suicial thoughts. Which led my doctor to putting me on this medicine instead. It took my body about 3 months to start seeing improvements but I stuck with it and I'm happy I did. My anxiety has gone down significally and my depression has for the most part subsided. I have my days, but who doesn't. I didn't expect medicine to cure it.

I first started taking this medicine around dinner time because it makes you feel drowsy, but once my body got used to it, I've been taking it around noon. So glad my doctor prescribed me this medicine. I feel as if I can fully enjoy life now."


"I have been dealing with constipation on and off for a month.  I had taken some stool softeners with limited success, and my mom recommended that I try Dulcolax.  I took two pills at 10 PM.  I started feel rumblings in my stomach around 45 minutes later, so I did some research to find out if that was normal.  I saw all the negative reviews and immediately drank 32 more ounces of water on top of the 8 I had taken with the pill.  I slept soundly through the night and had three bouts of diarrhea followed by a normal BM in the morning.  I was completely done within one hour of waking up, and I had a normal day after that.  I didn't have any cramping, sweating, nausea,etc."


"I'm a 62 year old male and have been smoking since I was 19. For the past 20  years pack a day. Tried to quit before, cold turkey. Tried the patch 3x... Wellbutrin last time. PCP had prescribed Chantix before and I chickened out on using it.

Am now 8 weeks on Chantix. Last smoke was at the end of the first week. Have not smoked since Quit Day... and haven't had an awful lot of urge to smoke either.  I'll sometimes now forget to take my pill until 9-10am when I remember it ... same in the evening... which means if I wake up at 2am.  I am AWAKE.  Bummer.  So definitely need to remember the evening pill at 6pm ... which is when I get my daily phone call from Get Quit.

Just picked up my 3rd month of Chantix."


"When I took Mucinex D maximum strength for the first time, I did have great relief of congestion, but I also experienced very scary rapid heartbeat, dizziness and anxiety. The anxiety may be due to feeling like I had something really wrong going on, I'm not sure. I have taken many different OTC medications through the years and have never had an experience like this one. "


"I don't know where to begin. Yes it was very effective, but I don't know if it's worth going through the traumatizing process. I only took 2 tablets at 11pm bc I got home pretty late. Around 3am I woke up from insane pain and burning in my stomach. It was so bad, the only way I can really express what I feel is by saying it hurt so bad I wanted to die. I was running to bathroom because pain caused nausea. I still couldn't go so I just went back to sleep. I woke up 2 hours later from extreme cramps was able to go to bathroom but let's just say it was not pretty and I was really sure I was going to die. So yes very affective but not something I will ever do again."


"I've been using Carac off and on for over a year.  I did my face for three weeks, then my chest, then my back.  I am now going back over specific areas of my face.  This cream is amazing.  It is somewhat painful and quite unattractive visually as you are going through the treatment, but the results are worth it.  My skin doesn't have rough red patches of scaly skin anymore and no more discoloration.  I would definitely recommend it!"


"So far this medicine has really made the urge to move my legs go away for the entire day with 1 pill. Other medicines I have taken in the past were not as effective and I had to take multiple pills throughout the day."


"This pill works great! The first 4 days of taking the pill there was some bloating but that was the only side effect really and it went away. I definitely have not gained weight from it if anything it makes me feel full faster and longer."


"I been taking this birth control for a few days. I haven't noticed any change . I needed this specifically for acne and cramps. I took dairy out of my diet because I am allergic to it. I have a feeling this pill put my swelling on my face down . I am in shock how this change my face. I had cyst acne and ever since I taken this pill . My face became less painful . I also been Cleaning my face religiously . I think this pill helped clear up my faster than being two months on sulfamethoxazole which is for my acne . That didn't have an effect . But this birth control . It put down the swelling on my face a WHOLE lot. So this is a life saving pill . Because I was Feeing my face so I can remember the diff what I had before and after this pil ...."


"As prescribed, I took 1/2 pill (100mg) of Stendra after a night of adult beverages, good food, and dancing.
Less than 30 min later, with her prompting, I was harder than ever and lasted 2 hrs. We're very happy.
No negative side effects.
NOW, here's the good part.............
4 hours later, without taking any more Stendra, it was still working
4 hours after that, same thing. Poor wife was lethargic for the next 24 hrs.
Thank you Stendra
ps- had tried Cialis and Viagra in the past with poor AND negative results."


"My doctor sent me doxycycline hyclate for a bacterial infection and after taking it for 5 days I have been having diarrhea on the 6th and 7th day.  I hope that goes soon.  This antibiotic has helped my stuffy and "sneezy" allergic symptoms although on the 7th day I am still feeling and sounding stuffy.  The doctor recommended 10 days of 200 mg each day; 100 mg every 12 hours."


"I took Ducolax about 9pm and normally it doesn't affect me whatsoever. It woke me at 6am with severe cramps, worst than child labour to be honest. I feel a cold sweat coming on, I was dizzy. I couldn't sit in one place I was in that much pain. I would not recommend this, I'd go for the easy option of pure orange or something along them lines."


"I started suffering very badly from hot flashes about 2 years ago. When I would work out and do cardio, I would literally leave puddles. It was scary because I didn't know what was going on at the time. Someone I met recommended I try it. I was suffering so bad, I didn't want to be on antidepressants, but I was desperate. I didn't have to wait long, I went from having about six hot flashes a day, lasting about two to three minutes, to having three or four mini flashes. I was incredibly grateful, was able to sleep through the night as well. Just recently, they started to become unbearable again, so they increased the dosage. Really does work. Currently on 150 milligrams. I may have one or two flashes during the day and and maybe two at night"


"I gained a lot of weight after having my 1st son and a failed IUD. My doc prescribed Adipex 37.5 and I took it 5-6 days per week for 5 months. In the beginning it gave me extreme dry mouth and it was hard to fall asleep because of the energy boost but it suppressed my appetite A LOT and if I ate to much it made me vomit.  I started working out slowly a few times per week and by the time I stopped taking it I was working out 5 days a week. I am 5'8 and my start weight was 195 my end weight was 137.After my 2nd son I lost the weight easily and got back down to 140 but after my daughter I gained and could not lose anything, my energy was low and I could not control my appetite.  As soon. As I am done breastfeeding I will be taking Adipex again"


"A miracle for alcohol withdrawal. I was taken to the ER for hallucinating and was about to have a seizure after going cold turkey for 72 hours, BIG mistake. Librium completely fix it in a few mins. If you are a heavy drinker get this please. You only need to take it for a week and quitting is easy. It did make me drowsy but ALL the withdrawal symptoms were gone."


"From 1965 through 1992 I suffered from what a doctor called Migraine Headaches. I endured the sporadic episodes until they became longer in duration and more often. The constant nausea was worse than the headache itself, causing me to go to bed until the event would suddenly subside. Went to a doctor again around 1992 and was prescribed Calan SR. I took it until the prescription ran out ... and did not have any headaches during that time ... but then I did not renew my prescription and stopped taking it all together. However, I have never had a migraine again nor any type of headache at all since around 1992 to this day 2010 - that is approximately 16 years without even a headache. I consider this a miracle. "


"After trying to commit suicide my psychiatrist put me on latuda  it has literally saved my life. I'm on 120 mg at night as well as seroquel trazodone pristiq and tegretol. I'm living life again !"


"I started taking Cymbalta two years after my formal diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and one year after having started Lyrica. The first day I took Cymbalta I felt nauseous but otherwise okay. The next day I vomited two times per hour for the four hours straight. "


"I have been on Junel Fe for about 2.5 years on and off, and I've about had it. I should've known when I first began, because I got headaches endlessly when I started and gained weight (plus it was my freshman year of college, so double the weight), and my skin has suffered as well. This pill is the absolute worst. I have to take it the same time everyday or I start spotting, and I have never been this moody. Switching to Kyleena next month."


"So this is my first time using this monistat 1 ovule thing. I used the 7 day treatment with my previous YI. I put this thing in about 7:45 pm it's now 10:05 pm and it feels like someone rubbed the worlds hottest peppers on my vagina. I'm not sure if the itching went away (it was very mild to begin with) or the burning is so bad that I don't even realize it. This stuff better work because it is expensive and after all this discomfort it better do something."


"I'm no stranger to the dental chair.  I have over $30,000 invested in my teeth.  After Peridontal surgery I began every 4 month deep cleanings.  Due to root surfaces I had full mouth Novacaine every cleaning.  I tried Oraqix, with great trepidation, 6 months ago.  I just had my second cleaning with Oraqix.  It is a MIRACLE.  No pain whatsoever and no numbness to wear off.  I would NOT have believed this possible without trying it. "


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I had bad reflux, night nausea and heartburn for nearly 7 months before being diagnosed with an endoscopy. Only on Day 3 of therapy (Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, and Omeprazole). Side Effects : Mild nausea, no strange taste, but I do get thirsty and I have had quite bad stomach pain (bloating, gas etc) and back pain. I was also very scared to take these meds after reading all the comments but so far so good. Most annoying thing is having to take so many meds at one time! Hoping I have no new side effects. I do take a probiotic and anti nausea pills twice per day with the antibiotics and I do take the antibiotics with food. I really hope that after the 14 days I am cured as I don't want to have to do this again!"


"First things first try and remember what you were like before the bc I was fun and careless, passing classes, clear skin had lots of friends and so on. Now I'm always depressed and care way to much and I had bad stomach problems that are simulating Crohn's disease but isn't .I have had it in for 10 days short of three years yeah I'm not pregnant but I'd rather have a baby rather than a mental breakdown about nothing. This is my opinion and what my side affects were. PS I'm getting it out tomorrow and I can't wait!!"


"Helped me get to sleep & stay asleep till they pulled it off the market."


"I have been on Yaz for about 4 months now. I started taking it to regulate my periods, as they were very heavy and irregular. Yaz helped 100% with that issue. Now I know when my period will arrive and it only lasts about 4 days. Yaz has also cleared up my acne. Before taking it I had fairly severe acne (for a 36 year old) and since taking Yaz I don't have severe breakouts, just one or two pimples here and there. If I had to list my negative experiences since taking Yaz it would be my irritability. Small things annoy me...like my husband chewing his cereal. It's not bad enough that I go into a rage or anything, but it can be annoying. Also, the outside edges of my breasts are sore. Feels like when I was nursing! So far, a positive experience"


"I am 20 and was suffering from anxiety and depression after 'recovering' from an eating disorder. Pristiq made me feel so awful in the first 2 weeks but by week 3 I felt calm, I no longer snapped at people for no reason, I could concentrate during conversations and my university work has not suffered. I do feel like I find it harder to sleep (after 3 months on Pristiq) and if I miss a pill by a few hours I feel very, very drowsy. I have experienced no weight-gain BUT have had a notable increase in headaches and a few migraines. Overall the positive effects far outweigh the bad. "


"I have tried amitiza and yes it worked and got me to use the bathroom but didn't do very much for my stomach pain. I did get some relief just from going. I also had to take way over recomended dose to get anything significant.
"


"So I never write reviews but if you're on this page then I'm sure you're scared, as I was. And reading reviews eased my mind, so I'm trying to ease someone else's. The condom broke and we didn't realize until after we had sex, meaning he ejaculated completely inside of me. This happened on day 12 of my 28 day cycle, meaning I was pretty fertile at that point. We rushed to get Plan B and I took the pill an hour later. The only side effect from the pill was That I was nauseous. Thankfully my period came, it was two days early. I'm very glad this pill worked."


"I suffer from Major depression and panic and anxiety I have been in all the mess out there nothing has worked after feeling dangerously suicidal my doctor gave me some  samples I felt the difference immediately more calmer able to deal but still very depressed this is on day 6 of Brintellix 10mg but reading all these reviews make me hopeful that good will out weigh the bad side effects 1-2 days headaches 3-6 nausea no appetite so we will see I have insomnia so I take a half of Ativan 1 mg and sleep and wake up rested so far so good god bless you all"


"Had unprotected sex (I know dumb) on my ovulation day and he decided to finish inside (dumb again) I bought this pill about 8 hours later. No side effects and my period came right on schedule. After taking it I read all the reviews here. A lot negative and have been a nervous wreck since. I conceived all my kids on first try so I get pregnant easily... don't worry or stress if you're reading this. It definitely works!"


"I have been taking Alli for 2 weeks and have experienced the good and the bad.  I am satisfied with my experience so far.  My negative side effects were completely my own fault as I did not watch what I ate one time and regretfully experienced the effects.  The positive side is that if you follow the plan and keep the fat under 15 grams you will be fine.  I am continuing with Alli."


"Passed a 9 mm stone in three days. A little pain, but better than having the big rock killing me softly. I am in Flomax again, hoping to pass a bunch of stones I have in my left kidney again."


"I have chronic pain due to Endometriosis and trust me, not pleasant at all but with this medication, it helps. It may not be as strong as I would like it to be but I'm ok it does something. I just don't want to rely on pain meds because of my daughter. However, it times of great overwhelming pain, I take one of these and a ambien and I'm out cold. Upside is I met my out of pocket and deductible so its free till end of year."


"It's very expensive for it NOT to be effective. My insurance paid $400 & my copay was $100. Pharmacy said it was effective which within 3 days nothing happen. It seems I stayed up longer. Took it at 9 pm. Supposedly you are to take it 30 minutes before bedtime. I stayed up till 4 am & 5 am. I took Advil PM since I had to get some sleep. It was more effective then this very expensive medication that I can't get a refund. Do not buy it unless your insurance covers it all. Maybe asked for a sample before buying a month supply."


"Our daughter was diagnosed 7 yrs ago and is now10 . She has tonic clonic and partial seizures sometimes out to 15 in one day bless her . We've tried epilim which was great for about 4 yrs  the they crept back up so we tried tegratol and lamotragine together. They didn't work at all , so now she's on keppra. After just 3 days she  had fits and was very happy girl . ( she has severe developmental delay) so it is hard to judge how she is feeling , but now she isn't eating and seems very very aggressive, we don't know what to do for the best?!?!?!?!"


"If I could rate depo in the negatives, I would. On my first round, I bled very little, but the cramping I experienced was so bad that I could not get out of bed. I would lay in bed at night sobbing because it hurt so bad. Near the end of the first shot, I began bleeding heavily and constantly. I went and received a second shot, hoping it would stop the bleeding, but it hasn't. I've now been bleeding for over a month, every single day. Some days it is light, others it is extremely heavy, but it is constant bleeding. I am also still having extreme cramps. I've also lost over 30 pounds. I would not recommend Depo to anyone. My life has been hell since receiving my first shot."


"I got the Paragard IUD six weeks after giving birth to my first child. I chose this birth control because it is non-hormonal, and regular hormonal birth control makes me nauseous, depressed, have mood swings, and gain weight.
Overall I'm very pleased with the IUD. Insertion was not painful, and I didn't even have cramping afterwards. I can't even tell that it is there and I have no side effects at all."

"I have never written a review online for anything in my entire life, but because of my extremely negative experience w/ Loestrin Fe, I feel inclined to. I was prescribed this BC to help regulate my hormone levels, my period, and the physical side effects of PCOS. I tried to remain hopeful while on this pill and stick it out for a full 3 months, but after just two full months, I was advised by my gyno & family members/ friends to stop using it. This BC exacerbated my previously mild depression and anxiety to a level where I could not get out of bed or go outside. I would spend hours lying in bed and crying; I was so miserable. If you're someone who has even very mild depression/anxiety, I would recommend being HIGHLY cautious before starting"


"I'm French and am 28 years old. I had my first seizure in 2009. My neurologist gave me Lamotrigine for 2 years, from 100mg daily at the beginning to 400mg at the end. The frequency of seizures has been reduced but I still had some.
I arrived in USA in 2011 and my new neurologist prescribed me Keppra because I wanted to have a new medication, more efficient. I take 500mg twice daily. I don't have any seizure since I started this medication, so more than one year now.
I'm very satisfied so far, but of course I have side effects and it's sometimes very difficult to deal with. I'm very tired all day long, I need to sleep at least 8 hours every night. I'm like bipolar, sometimes euphoric, sometimes very depressed.
I'm a different person now."


"Did 12 Weeks and now negative for HCV.Had tried 5 clinicals none worked. I will retest in 3 months. No side effects. Have had 2 transplants. Liver and kidney. HCV affects Kidney per my Dr at CCF"


"I started a 12 week Harvoni/ribivirin treatment 5 weeks ago. 2 years ago, after 6 months of the triple treatment (Incivek) my Hep C came back! Compared to the triple treatment, this is a breeze. Headaches for the first week or two, loose stools, muscleaches and slight insomnia. I've actually gained a couple lbs!? I feel the side effects so little it makes me wonder if its working? The triple treatment is SO Harsh it "feels" like its working. Maybe I'm just feeling guilt, I'm not in more pain this time."


"Hands down the worst medication I've ever tried. My Psychiatrist suggested trying a newer ADHD drug but I was enamored by some of the reviews I read on here so I persuaded him to prescribe me Dexedrine. Well what a big mistake. I was given 10mg of Dexedrine and after two weeks of it working it completely backfired. It completely ruined my cognitive abilities. I couldn't do simple math, my depth perception was off, and my time perception was off as well. I was constantly late to appointments, I had to write down everything on the calendar on my phone otherwise I will forget or think I have more time than I actually had. I would be careful with this medication. It might work for you though."


"Well I was going to write a full out review but apparently there's not even room for that here. So I'll make it short. I am 20 I've been taking this for 8 months. In the beginning all was well, then it made me sick to my stomach everyday. I kept taking this in hopes that it would subside. It did. For the past two months this BC has turned me into the moodiest person I've ever been in my life. I'm rude and I've never been this way. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. It's ruining my 6 year relationship. I can no longer proceed with this medication. DO NOT take."


"This is awful. I've been on this for two years. Every thing was ok the first couple months but then it caused severe depression and I mean full blown suicidal thoughts on a daily basis for honestly no reason at all. No huge life changes just same old same old when the depression started. Also the bleeding, my God, the bleeding is endless. I can't with 100% accuracy say it's effective because of the zero desire to even have sex, which could be because of the endless bleeding.  I went from very sexually active to nothing almost immediately after having it put in. I'm having it taken out early and DO NOT recommend this to anybody!!! There's got to be something better out there."


"I had been on Zoloft for 10 years.  Paired with Pristiq for the last 4 years.  For a while that combination worked, but I began feeling trapped in my head.  That caused me to go off my meds 4 times.  Began throwing up the Zoloft.  My dr. gave me this and advised 10 mg for a month  and then placed on 20 mg.  Two weeks for it to kick in and I found I wasn't as panicked when I received a call about an aging parent (I'm caretaker for my parents, and its taken its toll on me).  My quality of life very improved.  It's superior to the Zoloft.  No trapped feelings; a couple of dizzy spells it wore off in time. Presently on 20 mg. and wish it was more. Nice to feel competent again. Must take in the a.m. to avoid sleeplessness."


"I've been on Gilenya for 5 months. People posting on blogs seem very concerned about the initial drop in heart rate. Mine dropped from 86 to 66 within a few hours and then went back to normal. They said that if it falls below 55 you just have to get up and walk around until it goes back up, so it's not as big a deal. I have had no other side effects and am thankful that I was diagnosed after there was a pill as a treatment option."


"For nearly a year, I had very irregular, heavy and painful periods. I would skip a month, bleed for a month, skip two months, bleed a month. I have been on Necon 1/35 for two months now and I just had my lightest, easiest period ever. No cramps. No soaking through tampons within 15 minutes. I am so thankful for this medicine! It's seriously changed my life. I've had no side effects and my skin has dramatically cleared."


"I rate diazepam a "10", it's still the best & safest in it's class -- but only when taken very sparingly. I liken it to a 'fire extinguisher', use only in case of emergency. If you take on a daily schedule (e.g., 3 times a day, every day) then you're making yourself a slave, and you'll be dull-witted & stupid much of the time. Just like reliance on any pill. We owe it to our families, friends, employers and ourselves to be productive, happy and helpful.

I have the 5 mg. tablets in case of emergency. It acts fast, not too strong. There's no craving for 'another pill' hours or even days later, because it's very long acting. Be smart. Use only in case of real emergency and it's the best."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2009 after breaking my neck and lower back in a car accident. I was taking approximately 14 pills a day...everything from Percocet to Morphine as well as anti-depressants.  My marriage failed and I was not able to cope with every day routines. My pain was so great. Finally, after seeing a pain management doctor and taking myself off all of the medications, I was prescribed Methadone and what a miracle it has been. I still have to take Norco with the Methadone, but my pain level is becoming more manageable. I am not able to work but I can get out of bed now and maintain somewhat of a life with less pain. What a great improvement this has been for me. I hope this helps someone who is unsure."


"I have had panic attacks for years after trying many other a it depressants that made this worse Lexapro was my magic pill I have had a 90% reduction in acute panic disorder and general anxiety, with this drug I'm normal person again and I have my life back.  I'm my opinion this is a blockbuster drug and I'm so thankful to the chemist that created it.  Thank you for giving me my life back!  <3"


"I have been taking Latuda for about two years now and I must say that it really works good for stopping the voices in my head. I also do not get depressed anymore like I was without the Latuda and my Bipolar disorder is a lot less hectic. I recommend this medication to anyone who might be suffering with Bipolar, Depression, and Scizophrenia. Latuda really works."


"Had implanon since Jan 2015, inserted 5 days after giving birth at the recommendation of the hospital. Within 4 months I started losing my hair, I had long irregular periods that would last 4-8 weeks at a time and no amount of pills prescribed by my gynae would make it stop. My most recent period lasted almost two months and was thoroughly unpleasant dark coloured blood. My gynae also reported thinning of my uterus. I have gained about 10kg and counting, my breasts are enormous, and have experienced some issues with libido. I was on Yasmin before for seven years and had none of the above side effects. Having it removed asap and will go back to Yasmin."


"I'm gonna put out there that I weigh about 145 pounds and I am Hispanic. I am also 16 and am in no position to be a mother. My boyfriend and I always use condoms. But we did begin once without one and although he never came inside of me there is such thing as pre ejaculation. So we just took precautions! So I took the pill less than 2 days later! I will mention that I was suppose to receive my period the same day I took the pill so it pushed it back. The only symptoms I got was fatigue, nausea, and a little cramping here and there. After a week of having the pill in my system I got my period. Don't stress. This saved me"


"I was on 150mg then the doctor increased my dose too 300mg. Now I feel like my brain was left at Walmart while my body went home. I hope it gets better."


"Great for insomnia. Best to be used pulsating (one day on, one day off), but can also be used day after day. No annoying side effects (only dry mouth, but when you sleep you don't notice) and very effective. No addiction, no withdrawal."


"The symptoms of my kidney infection seemed to go away within 24 hours.  However the side effects of the Levaquin started with the first dose.  I have a headache, nausea, and feel as though I can't catch my breath.  I am grateful that the symptoms of the infection are gone."


"Hello. I have taken the UK version of this pill Levonelle once. Like pretty much everyone here, I found myself searching for reassurance that everything was going to be ok. I was desperate for it to work after the condom split for the first time ever in my life and I'm 32. I didn't really have any side effects and my period, thankfully, arrived 2 days early. There is no point in me telling you not to worry as I know I still did when everyone around me was saying not to. However, what I will say is that you are not alone. Thousands of others are going through the same thing and strangely I found that comforting. Good luck if you are still waiting for Mrs Flow. Hope you have as good an outcome as I did, if that's what you want, anyway."


"I have been on Imipramine for over 2 years and found it good for pain relief combined with Gabapentin.  The only problem I have encountered is weight gain as it tends to increase my appetite."


"I have been taking this birth control for 3 days and I can already tell what the side effects are, I have horrible nausea and have been vomiting, My legs and feet are swollen, I have started getting acne on my jawline, and I have been having the worst cramps ever. Gonna stick with it for a week until my dr gets back to prescribe new medication."


"It helped with my anxiety more then any other medicine."


"I took this exactly how the instructions show. I started at 4pm as told and still wasn't done with the process 6+ hours later! I will never use this product again! It is not worth it. It was so hard to get down and keep down as well. Very unsatisfied with this product!"


"Used Edex for the first time today.  I'm 52.  I have low testosterone (350), but no other chronic health issues. My erectile dysfunction is mostly psychological. Doctor gave me a few 20mcg samples. Decided to use a very small dose (about 0.25ml or about 5mcg) since it was my first use.  Had a nice hard erection in about 3 minutes, and it lasted about 60 mins.  Needle insertion was painless. Small bruise at the insertion site.  No pain at all, until about 45 minutes into my erection when I started to have a dull pain in the shaft of my penis. I assume that was due to being erect for 60 mins for the first time in 20 years.  Edex was easy to use, worked great for me. Try it !"


"I was excited to get it, but the insertion was very, VERY painful, even with local anesthesia.  I bled for a long time and it was very uncomfortable to sit in certain positions.  My periods were very different, with prolonged bleeding (not the short, sweet periods the advertisements promise).
I also noticed that I had started to smell badly down there.  I kept going to the doctor for it (the other doctor who cared for IUD patients, not MY doctor) and he kept telling me that it was a "bacterial imbalance" and not related to my IUD.  It most certainly was because my cervix was always open from the string.  This ceased after removal.
Also, it does not prevent conception.  It causes fertilized eggs to be discharged because they can't implant."


"Gave me diarrhea."


"I have been on Apri for a couple of months. I have completely lost my sex drive which is hurting my relationship and I feel depressed all the time. I'm not pregnant so I give it a four but I'm going to switch to a different medication."


"Just started Qsymia 3 days ago 1/19/17 @267 5ft10 and I'm super excited to see how this goes. So far I no longer crave large or heavier meals as usual and no side effects that I am aware of yet. I won't weigh myself again until next week, so will keep you all updated...if you are interested!!! But so far so good!!! Oh I paid $111 and some change after applying a discount card for $95, my insurance did not cover this"


"I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and depression. It has worked wonders when I start to suffer. I take 1 mg in the morning and I feel like my old self again. However, I'm starting to wonder if it is causing some of my depression. Once the medicine wears off my mood crashes. I get very emotional, anxiety creeps up, agitated, and very depressed. I pop another one and my mood stabilizes.
Another thing, it is very habit forming so don't stop taking it abruptly. Consult your doctor first for a plan."


"I've had the implant for about 6-7 months now. It is very effective. I haven't had a single period since but I do have excruciating headaches, I get blurred vision and hard of hearing with them. I've also gained a tremendous amount of weight. My normal weight is 170-180lbs. I'm currently at 250lbs. Nothing has changed in eating or exercise habits but I'm still gaining weight like crazy. I will be getting the implant out this week. I wouldn't wish the pain on anyone.
Its great for not getting pregnant wise but the side affects for me have been unbearable."
