"My mom is an OVCA patient undegoing chemotherapy with Docetaxes and Gemcitabine on a 3-week cycle and she had developed severe diarrhea accompanied by fever probably due to neutropenia and Loperamide/Imodium did not help her even after one week of taking it. The doctor suggested Sandostatin and after 2 doses of 100micrograms 8 hourly, the diarrhea stopped completely."


"Had the Implanon for 4 months and I just got it removed today. Worse 4 months of my life!! After I got it, my face broke out very badly, my periods lasted a month so during these past 4 months I've only had like 5 days without bleeding. I could never have sex because it was a heavy flow. it messed up my cycle completely. Before I would only have my period for 3-4days.  I just switched to the nuvaring, I hope I'll have a better experience."


"When I was a teen I began getting the dreaded toenail fungus. I went to our family doctor at the time, which was 20 years ago, and he said it was something I had to live with. When I was 22 all 10 nails were infected and would basically pull off with little or no pain. I finally went to see a doctor in Washington, DC were I was going to college and he prescribed terbinafine for me. I was so scared about the liver side effects I only took the first month's dose. My toenails were clear as ever for about 5 years when it started creeping back. Considering I only took a 1 month dose (pill a day) I think that says a lot for this medicine. I have just been given another script for it and hope and pray I can only do the 1 month of it and things get back to normal."


"Great medication. Immediate results. Life changing for me."


"I have had RLS since I was 14. I am now 42.  RLS is a miserable existence. An annoyance beyond belief. I have gone with no sleep for 3 days at a time more than once because of my legs, or legs and arms, or even knees and a shoulder joining in to laugh at me. I have been on Mirapex most of my adult life at 1 mg being told I could take 2 on bad nights and it worked most nights, but most of my adult life I have taken Mirapex 1 mg, gabapentin 300 mg, trazadone 50 mg, and 1Tylenol #3 Every night.....just to go to sleep. And it took all of that just to go to sleep. A doctor might look at you like your nuts if you ask for all that but I'm telling you it will work. I moved and my new Dr decided to take my Mirapex away and try me on requip.. Fail.."


"I was put on 20mg citalopram in October 2016. I have always had issues with depression but managed to get myself through by exercising. I lost my nan in the January and the grief was a bit too much. Anxiety depression and awful paranoia and panic attacks.

I was promised it was for 3-6 months and then I would be off. No side effects nothing to worry about.

But I feel hungover or foggy most mornings it takes a lot to motivate me. Where I used to get up and go to the gym or to a class I don't want to, I doubt myself all the time. I feel constantly tired and numb with no feeling whatsoever I have put on weight and feel so uncomfortable in my own skin"


"I have suffered from migraines since I was 19 (now 23). My migraines were debilitating and caused me to miss a lot of school, so my doctor prescribed me Maxalt. Maxalt almost always cures my migraines within 1-2 hours! The relief is long lasting; one dose and I am usually pain-free for an entire day. For me, side effects are infrequent and usually very minor (sleepiness, dizziness, “foggy brain”). To elaborate on the “foggy brain” side effect, post-headache I would sometimes experience a feeling of euphoria combined with a difficulty concentrating. Usually this is not a big deal, but if I was taking an exam it would slightly affect my performance and concentration. Overall, a great medication that has improved my quality of life!"


"I am on Nuvigil now and have been for several months. I take the 250mg tabs. Before Nuvigil, I took Provigil for over a year and my doctor told me that Nuvigil was a new refined version of Provigil. They work great for a while, then your body gets used to it; I will go a day or two without it and it seems to work better that way. My insurance did not want to pay for Provigil, so my doctor wrote a letter that it was imperative for my quality of life, so they started paying. When I switched to Nuvigil, nothing was ever said about it. It does make me more alert, but I can still lay down and take a nap while taking it. It is sure better than nothing, Or I would be in bed 24/7 as before."


"Side effects are worse than Fibromyalgia pain. I've been taking Lyrica for two months. It was a miracle drug for the first few weeks. I've been living with Fibromyalgia for over 35 years and have tried eveything. Anti depressants, excersise, bio-feedback, acupuncture, narcotics, you name it. So I was excited about the dramatic pain reduction from Lyrica.But now I have developed severe muscle weakness, headache, abdominal cramping, acne and difficulty thinking clearly. I can barely hold myself up and I can't lift anything over a few pounds. I have asked my doctor if I can safely stop taking it. I'm just waiting g for him to return my call. I would rather just live with my horrible pain than take any more of these toxic drugs."


"I was suffering with panic disorder with agoraphobia for 10 years.  It started off pretty innocuous,  a few trips to the ER, calling out of work... As my symptoms got worse I became more and more housebound.  Going ANYWHERE, even a trip to the supermarket was miserable.I couldnt take my kids to the park.I had to quit my job because of the distance and panic attacks. I loved to travel but I could no longer get on a plane, forget getting to the airport.  I literally tried everything. Finally I cracked.  my doc prescribed me lexapro. I was so scared but so desperate.  It has completely given me my life back. Slowly, surely, persistently I began to drive again. 2 years later I am me again. Fight through the side effects. Don't waste your life."


"For over 5 years Provigil worked very well. It would appear I have developed a tolerance as within the past 6 months I have had an extreme decrease in efficacy. "


"I have been on Trinessa for six months and have decided to switch to Loestrin. I have the worst acne I've ever had, not just my face but my back and chest too. I get headaches all the time and I've gained 20 pounds. It's like my appetite for food sky rocketed. My appetite for sexual activity, however, got depleted. Which is frustrating. "


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I have an injection the day after Taxotere chemo for breast cancer. The aches kick in the day after and two days` later are very uncomfortable, mostly in my bones down from the waist. I take 4 x 200mgs of Ibuprofen with my morning cuppa and that takes about an hour to take effect and will last me until about tea time. Then I take a couple of paracetamol before bed. When it starts to get better after about 5 days, I just take a co-codemol tablet before bed and then I sleep. My doc` has approved this regime. I even resorted to drinking wine one night and yes it dulls the pain but I felt rubbish the next day. I experimented to see what worked for me. My blood count is excellent so it all seems worth it."


"I've  been prescribed Lyrica 300mg morning and  night also Amitriptyline 10mg for TN pain. Before taking these meds life was near unbearable to live.
The meds do come with some side affects, short term memory loss and sometimes blurred vision  being the worse. I've thankfully not had issue with weight gain. You have take the good with the bad sometimes. Without the prescribed meds life would be hell."


"I'm a 74 year-old woman who has had peripheral neuropathy for about 7 years. None of the meds prescribed gave me any relief until I was started on Cymbalta. It seemed miraculous, as within a week or so I had almost no pain or burning in my legs and feet. I'm on 60 mg daily, along with oxycodone (7.5 mg twice daily). In the last couple of years the Cymbalta is far less effective than it was initially, and I would have even more pain if it weren't for the oxycodone. I asked my doctor about increasing the Cymbalta to 90 mg, but he says you don't get much more relief beyond the 60 mg dose. It's very disappointing to have the effectiveness decrease. Side effects are weight gain and sensitivity to heat and sweating."


"It is a fact baclofen took away my craving for alcohol. I am an alcoholic. It is amazing because I had no intention of quitting alcohol. I looked forward to 5 o%u2019clock so I could have a few drinks. The alcohol provided better pain relief than the hydrocodone. With the baclofen I just don%u2019t need alcohol for my pain and have no desire for alcohol.
I have a friend that flat out died from alcohol abuse. I wish I%u2019d known about Baclofen. How many alcoholics would quit drinking if they could? More doctors and psychologists need to know about baclofen for alcoholism,This medication can save lives, It%u2019s going to save my liver for sure after many years of nightly drinking.I learned about baclofen and alcoholism first by experiencing it not reading it"


"I have had migraine headaches for years now. And this is the only pill that has helped. I would really recommend this to anyone."


"I've been taking Avinza for a few years and it has changed my life.  I have chronic back pain and have had 1 unsuccessful surgery.  I will not go through that again just to be disappointed. I started with a dose of 120 mg and have been able to reduce that to only 30 mg over the past 18 months.  I added in a regular visit to a chiropractor and had acupuncture.  All together these things have made my quality of life so much better.   Soon I hope to be off of it totally."


"I took this medicine for both my depression and anxiety.

In the first week I had a really dry mouth and was lightheaded and couldn't really concentrate on anything but that passed.

It just about cured my anxiety; I can't even express how grateful I am. While being on it (after the initial 6 wk period), the only time I really suffered from anxiety was in situations where any NORMAL person would start getting anxious and it never escalated to the point of tears and having to lock myself in a bathroom.

As for the depression, it helped a lot but after 18 months of being on the maximum dose, I guess my body has built up a tolerance to it and I now need to change over to something else. I've gone back to crying every day. Was great while it lasted."


"I know everyone has different reactions too different birth control, this does not work for me! I switched from the pill to this patch because I hate taking pills every day and it's so much of a hassle. So I found as soon as I started the patch, first 3 days extremely nauseous, within the first week my fave and chest broke out crazy in deep cystic acne, I didn't have any acne before, and it cause libido (major decrease in sex drive) as well as made me super emotional and just angry all the time, so therefore I immediately switched back off of it due to too many unwanted side effects, just bought the Nuvaring I hear good things about it and hear it's a very low dosage ... Hopefully not as many side effects involved."


"I was tappering off of both MS Contin and Percocet and developed diarrhea. I started taking Imodiun and started itching  and a rash. It did help the diarrhea but I am one of the people that had a reaction to this medication, unfortunately. I also had cramping, and sweating as well as lightheadedness."


"Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: 36 YRS OLD, NEVER HAD CHILDREN MIRENA INSERTED 1 MONTH AGO, THE PAIN OF THE INSERTION WAS HORRIBLE, BUT MANAGEABLE AND I DID TAKE PAIN PILL BEFORE APPOINTMENT.  BEEN SPOTTING OFF AND ON, SEEMS MORE SPOTTING AFTER SEX.  READING THE REVIEWS HERE ARE HELPFUL AND I WILL REPORT MY THOUGHTS IN A FEW MONTHS.  I SAY DEFINITELY KEEP A LOG OF YOUR SPOTTING, ETC."


"Just had it inserted today and it was pretty painful. I've been bleeding for a couple months and after a d&c about a week ago it hasn't gotten any better. Mirena is the next step for me to try to stop the bleeding. The insertion for me was just as painful as the endoscopy/histoscopy that I had over a month ago. It was a deep cramp with very specific pressure. I should have taken an ibuprofen beforehand to help. Obviously I have no clue how long it will last and if I'll like it in the long run but I figured I should at least share how I felt about the initial reaction"


"I've been on Cymbalta for about a year now. I was taking it for depression and anxiety disorder along with other medications. About 6 months ago I became severely depressed and suicidal. I was put on two more different drugs for mood stabilization. Nothing would help. My doctor did not once tell me that the Cymbalta could be the cause of my increased depression. I finally was taken of the Cymbalta and put on a new drug 6 days ago. Barely 24 hours after the Cymbalta was out of my system my suicidal thoughts and severe depression was almost completely depleted. "


"This is this first and only time I will be taken this pill. It made me feel very out of it. I fell asleep for hours and couldn't remember anything. I have been on other brands of the oxycodone from 10mg-30mg and none has made me feel this way. WHY?????? No other medicines were mix with the dose.
Not happy got a whole script  K 36 and Pink 10mg oxycodone. "


"I'm 19 years old and this is my second time doing this. first time i had the lemon but the orange tastes a bit better. i'm now into my morning dose but I just can't hold it in anymore. I gag after every sip starting to feel dizzy again, my cheek is cramping up and can't even take the smell anymore... if they ever start producing this in pill form I'll be the happiest man alive."


"I couldn't live without this medicine. Elmiron works I just wish it was cheaper."


"Terrible experience on vraylar, upset stomach, insomnia, felt like the flu upon stopping, would not take again.  Glad I stopped after 5 days easier to detox.   Had almost the same experience on saphris , which caused hairloss as well and rough detoxing."


"I have worked rotating shifts for over the 30 years and I have never had enough sleep. So I asked my doctor if there was anything I could try. He suggested Ambien, 10 mg at bedtime. So for the last year I now wake up after 6 hours of rest, which nothing compared to years of restless nights tossing and turning over to look at a clock. Good sleep means a lot and is worth a pill every night."


"I think I might be allergic to this medicine as I had the hives in the evening from my scalp down. "


"I'm not a big fan of this pill at all. I'm on my first month and I didn't even get to the "brown" pills yet and I already have my period and it's been lasting for 4 days now. I went on this to shorten my period because my period was lasting for 15 days straight... horrible. I just hope my body will get used to it. I'm afraid I will gain weight. Overall, this pill has not yet helped me. "


"My GP prescribed this for neck cramps from sitting in front a PC monitor so much.  Works great for that.  However, it also works wonders for my lower and mid back pains, aches and spasms.  I take 2 mg a couple times during the day and 4 mg about 30 minutes before bed.  If I am having really bad back pain, I'll take 4 mg 3-4 times during the day.  I do have some pretty vivid dreams, some bizarre, but few horrid dreams.  Overall this is wonderful medicine for my ailments!"


"I've had migraines about once a month for a couple years, sometimes more often. I'm a teenager, so when I would get my migraines I was physically unable to get out of bed, and would have to miss multiple days of school and make up work. Three months ago I went to my doctor because my previous medication wasn't working. She recommended Excedrin Migraine, and my grades have shot through the roof. I take Excedrin as soon as the vision halos set in, and after 20-45 of the halos, when the migraine would normally set in, instead of an excruciating headache, I get a minor tingling sensation in my head instead, which doesn't bother me at all, actually kind of feels nice. I would recommend Excedrin Migraine to anyone!"


"I'm not allergic to anything except this drug. It made my body turn red, was painful, and gave me bumps all over my body that looked like measles which lasted for months before going away. I only took this medication for 3 days."


"Original symptoms slightly decreased but side effects such as heart palpitations, sweats, hunger, weight gain, hand tremors, feelings of panic/stress, insomnia, acne, irritable/depressed make me question is it the drug or is it the dosage. Dr says higher dosage is needed. Endocrinologist says lower dosage is needed. Surely medicine for a complaint should be more clear-cut and less guesswork done by the medical profession. I'm told there is no other drug available to me for my hypothyroid problem."


"I have had panic attacks for over 20 years, I been using clonazepam for over 10 years.  I found this medicine to be very helpful it saved my life, but I do hate that I need it just to live a normal life, but glad I do have something to help me to obtain my goals.  I  have started and stopped with this medication prior to recently starting it up again. I used to use 1mg 3x a day, so, I am low dosing for now, 0.5mg. But it is a wonder drug.  One thing people did not write about this drugs is that it keeps you from over thinking which helps for anxiety a great deal.Love this medicine - just do NOT abuse it . I have safely used it for over 10 years."


"Epiduo Forte is a great topical! My dermatologist put me on it about two weeks ago because I have mild, non-cystic acne. I also have oily skin. She said to wash my face with Cetaphil moisturizing cleanser and use a pea size amount of cetaphil facial moisturizer mixed with the Epiduo to make it easier to spread around and prevent total dryness of the skin. She also informed me the the first four weeks would make my skin worse before it got better, so if your trying it and you see this, don't worry. In the morning, I use Clinique moisture surge on the areas that are most dry and it really helps. I can't say much about the full results yet, only because its my third week on the stuff, but so far it is trust worthy. Hope this helps !!!"


"Taking this medicine for a prostate infection, I previously took another antibiotic that did nothing as it was a wide spectrum one until my results were in. I have struggled taking these pills, because they do make you feel a bit gassy and also I have struggled to get my breath a bit. My main worry was being sick on them, and because I am forcing myself to eat four fairly big meals a day I have not suffered half as much on that side as I thought. After reading all of the horror stories on here, it has not yet been quite as bad as I had thought it might be. I am about half of the way through the course, taking 100mg 4x a day. Going to try to get to the end, starting to feel a bit better. My urine is clear again but I still have the urge to go."


"I just started my third week Friday night 1.8 milligrams and as of August 2nd I believe I've lost almost 20 pounds I have zero urge to eat, I have zero urge to drink anything including water.  I don't even drink my cup or two cups of decaf in the morning anymore.  I'm afraid I am not getting the energy I need because I really just can't eat. I am trying to drink as much water as possible.  I'm trying to eat my roughage, and I've also started eating fruit that tastes pretty good. I did have some nausea for the first 3 days and that was it. I am having a problem getting the job so far my insurance will not cover it and I hope a miracle happens. I want to stay on and continue losing weight and having my body feel as good as it does."


"I switched over to Portia because my previous birth control was making me highly emotional. Portia was able to fix that. I felt like myself again and I wasn't crying over every little thing. However, the side effects I'm facing are not worth it to me. The first one is that my cramping from my period is extreme. The main reason I got on birth control was to minimize the pain from my period. With Portia, I'm back to spending a week with a heating pad on my stomach and just hoping for the week would go quicker. The second side effect is the nightmares. I would get them every night the second week of the series. They are awful. I would wake up sobbing. These are just my experiences though."


"last year I had gotten a UTI and was first prescribed Bactrim and it didn't help. I went back and was prescribed a 10 day pack of Nitrofurion.. Worst decision of my life was to take the Nitrofurion. By the 9th day I started breaking out in hives, which continued to take over my body for the next several weeks. I then spent the next 9 months going to allergists to help me manage the constant hives. I had developed chronic hives from this medication. It has been a year and the hives have finally subsisted. After all that I still had that UTI

I learned a recipe making tea with Uva Ursi to clear the infection (known for killing Ecoli) and drank marshmallow root tea seeped for 8 hrs in cold water. And it cleared up the infection."


"I had a decent experience with Balziva. It wasn't right for me, but everybody is different, so that doesn't mean it won't be great for someone else. Before birth control, my periods coming every other week. With Balziva, they came about halfway through the pack and lasted until the end of the pack. This happened for the 3 months I was on it, so my doctor switched me to a different one. Other than the weird periods, I've had a positive experience with Balziva. I think my face did break out a little bit, but nothing serious. My breasts were also a little bit more sensitive, and I have gained a few pounds, but I'm not quite sure if it's due to the Balziva or me being away at college. But overall good experience."


"23 + no kids. I went to the doctors and expected the worst. I took an Excedrin and 2 Advil beforehand. My doctor "numbed me up real good" with four shots in the cervix. Four sharp pinches. Then measured me with a long probe, also not pleasant - the pain was probably an 8. Then she inserted the Skyla which was uncomfortable and instantly made my legs go numb. She had me lay there until I felt better, and by the time I got up I felt fine. I didn't feel nauseous or light headed. This followed with a night full of intense cramping and heavy (to me) bleeding, I took another 2 or 3 Advil . Friday I woke up and went to work feeling brand new with light spotting. No bleeding Saturday, Sunday, or Monday with the occasional light cramp. Loving it!"


"I was on Loestrin for 3 years. My experience on this pill was overall a good one. I was sexually active and never used back up, the pill kept all pregnancy scares away. Cramps stopped and stayed away for 3 years until they reappeared suddenly and was one of the reasons I switched. I had little acne and no mood swings (to my knowledge), my breasts did grow almost 2 cup sizes. The only problem I had was due to my own fault. I never took my pill with anything and I'd take it right before I went to bed. In the morning I would feel extremely ill. I fixed this with just taking my pill at dinner. I switched pills because all of a sudden I started bleeding and cramping all the time and not following the pill schedule."


"Roxicet has been extremely effective in relieving my occasional severe pain. Thirty milligrams eases the pain completely and lets me get back to the important things in life, like work or family time."


"Wow! After a 1 year of frustration this really worked. I got an erection after 15 minutes and was able to put on a condom without rushing or worrying about losing my erection. It was so nice."


"I had unprotected sex on day 12 of my cycle. I have two kids. I am 6 months postpartum, and breastfeeding. I am not ready for a third kid, any time soon! I've never used EC, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't take it till 53 hours after.. So I was very paranoid it wasn't going to work. 6 days after taking it, I got my period!! I've never been so happy.. Cramps and all! I had no side effects at all after taking the pill. I also don't think my cramps are worse than normal. I would recommend EC to someone, I wouldn't wait long to take it, but know that it still worked for me even after 48 hours. I'm so grateful! Now time to get back on BC!!"


"I had the Paraguard IUD inserted Dec 18th 2015. I followed up to make sure it was inserted properly and would check my strings every month after my cycle.
On August 13 2017 I discovered I was pregnant. When I went to the doctor not only did I discover I was 6 weeks pregnant, also discovered my IUD is still in the proper position and the doctors are unable to remove it because it is right next to the pregnancy. I also have a cyst on my ovaries that's bleeding out to top it all off. I will never be using an IUD again because not only did it not work, but now I have an at risk pregnancy all because my IUD is still in the right positioning but failed."


"I've tried Prozac and Effexor. I'm back on Topamax because it seems to be the only medicine that works for me. I never thought my bulimia would get this far, I'm 22 and I've been bulimic since I was 14. I'm done university, and it's been the hardest thing I've had to go through. I've had trouble finding a job and leading my life in the right direction...I wish this medication was sought out more for bulimia."


"I have been taking gabapentin...for awhile now. Me & my husband both. And it works wonders with our depression, anxiety. It also keeps us from craving drugs or alcohol.  It helps with my social anxiety as well. We think its a miracle drug. As far as we're concerned."


"I started Adipex on 10/23 and by 10/28 I lost 5 pounds so I am impressed with it already. Now I want to start getting some exercise and see what I can really do.

Now after 2 weeks, I still have had no time to exercise and I loosely follow a 1500 calorie diet. Beginning weight 217 lbs and current weight 202 lbs. "


"I noticed pretty good results within two weeks- my general anxiety lowered significantly, but I still get frequent panic attacks."


"I absolutely hate it!! Made me gain so much weight and I'm on day 34 of my period. Getting it out soon thank goodness. I do NOT reccomend it."


"I love Mirena! I got it put in 6 weeks after having my daughter and yes it hurt and I cramped after but I just had a baby so it was nothing I couldn't handle. I had it put in a little less then a year ago and I just stopped getting periods. I have light spotting and I still get my symptoms of a period. I love having Mirena because I don't have to remind myself to take a pill and I also love how effective it is. Mirena is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. "

"I have had great result using Tarka.  I had problem controlling my blood pressure, but once my doctor put me on this medication I haven't had any problems."


"I love this type of birth control. You don't have to worry about taking it each night. It does effect people in different ways but I have lost weight from stoping my other birth control to this one. I do get migraines and it works awesome! The only thing is that my arm is so itchy!!! I did just get it about a month ago. But love this birth control!!"


"I was on 200 mcg of Fentanyl Patchs, and 100mg of MS Contin 3 times a day and 30mgs of MSIR (instant release morphine) 3 times a day for almost 7 years for these horrible migraines I have constantly. These medicines were not helping anymore after being on them for so long. About 6 months ago I changed doctors who switched me to Opana ER. I am taking 80mgs every 12 hours along with 600mcg Fentora 3 times a day for breakthrough pain. I have not had any side effects from the Opana at all which is wonderful and I can function daily and not be laid up in bed constantly. I would definitely recommend Opana ER but just think about something for breakthrough pain in case it is needed."


"Nexplanon was the WORST birth control I've had. I got it implanted on March 1, 2016. After a few weeks all of the bad side effects started to occur. I was confused all the time, gained 8+ pounds in a month while eating healthy and exercising, extremely tired, depressed mood, and the worst side effect: I felt as if I was living in a low blood sugar state at all times. After reading reviews, some say they need to snack every 2-3 hours to not feel dizzy... At that point I would rather not have the implant at all. Got it removed may 28th and it was the best decision I have ever made. Most of the symptoms have subsided, waiting to get another set of blood work done 2 months post removal for my PCP."


"I have been on 60mg of citalopram  for the past year to treat panic and anxiety disorders.  At first I was pleased that the medication seemed to be working but after a while I was feeling lethargic, tired and numbed.  Not myself.  I want to go off it but I am scared of what the side effects might be.  I definitely don't want the panic attacks back but I feel that I am walking around half asleep.  I want my normal energetic self back!"


"I got this implant in August 2016 , at first it was terrible!  My period stayed on for 9 days , I was depressed  all the time and my cramps were the worse . But after the 9 days my period went off an just came on in October, but it's been on for 3 weeks now and it's driving me crazy !"


"I had a muscular injury to my leg. I rubbed on the ointment and the "slight burning" the packaging warn of was a horrible burning that I could not remove with repeated washing with soap and water. The intense burning sensation went on for a few hours. "


"I got my implant in May 2016. 4 of 7 girls I work with have the Nexplanon. I was the last to decide to get mine. Two say it's perfect & the other is having my same side effects. I've enjoyed not having a period or super light spotting. It's working as far as not getting pregnant. I have not enjoyed the side effects one bit. Since May, I've gained 20lbs, super emotional getting upset & crying/angry for no real reason, and NEVER wanting to have sex. I've been with the same amazing boyfriend for 3yrs. I've never not wanted to have sex with him. I'm a sexual person and I enjoy it. Now, I could care less if we have sex, we need to use lube, sex drive is gone. It's taken a toll on my relationship. For me, it's not worth it. It's coming out ASAP"


"I have tried most of them. Mirpex works well and I have had no side effects. I tired to stop all my meds that I've taken - some for 40 years - so I could see how bad the condition had become over 40 years. It was terrible, I can't image surviving life had Mirapex, Sinemet and Clonopin come along. Opis work well too. Cannabis helps a lot."


"Few weeks off Accutane and happy with the results. Experienced minimal side effects. Just hope acne will never come back like before."


"I have had spinal fusion,  done with 6 discs herniated and a fractured vertebrae and a spinal stimulator put in and about 36 injections but was never a pain med. person until I could not walk. So I broke down and took the lightest dose of percocet 5mg. It worked for me but after surgery the pain was really really bad. so the Dr. started me on butrans 5mg but it didn't not do anything, so went to the 15mg but got very very sick, sluggish unmotivated just felt lousy BUT got rid of the pain.  I have gone back  down to the 10mg and stayed on that for a bout 6-8 months but I have just got tired of feeling lousy, and sluggish, so I went to the percocet 10mg as I need them and I have found what works for me. I hope it helped out."


"When I first starting taking abilify, I was about 14 and a half and 130 pounds, and it worked great. My mood was great, side effects were minimal. However, over the course of about a year I have gained almost 60 pounds, and that was while playing two varsity sports and a club sport that whole time, so I was active majority of that time. When I came off it recently, I lost about 10 pounds over two weeks, but I was much worse than I was before I went on it, (which I find weird), so I was put back on. It is impossible to get the weight to go away."


"I've been on 75mg of Effexor XR for about 3 weeks. I still have some anxiety but I can tell it is helping. I was very afraid of sexual side effects when taking this medicine but I'm happy to report that overall its not been a problem. 70% of people do not have sexual side effects. "


"I'm currently starting my fourth pack of Lutera. This past month for me has been a bit nuts for me and my boyfriend. I've been overly emotional and anxious beyond belief. I AM dealing with emotional triggers but I feel Lutera has exacerbated things. I've had a loss of appetite but I don't know if that's because I'm loosing my mind. Ugh, birth control.  On the other side, my breast have been fuller than normal, which has been a perk. My flow and pre-menstrual physical symptoms have been just fine. No unusual cramping, spotting, etc. I'm continuing with Lutera for another 3 months and am hoping to see my emotions settle down. "


"I was on Clavaris for 5 months for my moderate acne that only got worse with age (I am 26). It worked wonders. I have been off the medicines for 3 months- not one pimple and even the old scars cleared up. One downside though was that I started getting depressed and anxious especially during the last month so I stopped taking it. The depression went away but I have trouble with speaking in public forums and in interviews now. I know, kind of ironic to have less self esteem now even with the perfect skin. Just watch out for those signs, they could be dangerous if not controlled or even acknowledged. Overall I am still happy I took the medicine."


"It does work, but you need to give it a few weeks to help with the cravings. I lost my partner, my friends and my licence. Thanks to finding out about Campral myself on the net, my life has turned full circle and I got my REAL friends and life back again.
My side affects were gas and lightheadness. I can live with that."


"bad"


"I have been on this med just over 3 weeks. I initially was put off by the side effects (feeling a bit off, nausea, body aches) so started at one tab every other day. That seemed to make the transition better. But still not without side effects. The worst of which are: dry mouth (which helps up water intake so not too bad), hot flashes (which are NOT fun but manageable ), and constipation (the worst of them all and nothing I do seems to help).
But to date I have just hit my 10 lb lost mark!  Within the first few days I could walk by cakes or donuts that were brought in to work and it was like it didn't even register as "food" in my mind.  Cravings for soda and junk are gone and I can eat very little to feel full."


"I got the nexplanon in March of 2015 so far it's been good never had any problem bleeding wise but I have developed severe anxiety and depression and I'm always tired but when I close my eyes my anxiety kicks in and I can't sleep and I've had horrible mood swings the littlest things set me off!"


"I have been on Pristiq for 3 months now. I am a 23 year old male who suffers from depression. It is only the second drug I have tried after Cipramil (Which did nothing for me). I started on 50mg, and at first felt great (minus minor nausea, headaches and bad insomnia). However, in comparison to the depression, the side effects were well worth it, and my Doctor said they would go away. The sides only lasted a week and I felt pretty good. A few weeks later however, I was feeling really bad again, so my Doctor upped me to 100mg. This did the same thing as when I first started the medicine, gave me small side effects, but made me feel ALOT better in general. Sure enough the side effects were gone after a few days, but now the 100mg dose isn't doing much."


"I have Mitral Valve Prolapse and extreme anxiety where I basically depleted my adrenals from being so anxious all the time. I was in a constant state of fight or flight. Since my Dr. prescribed this medicine a few years ago it has worked wonders and changed my life. I am now able to function fairly normally as it greatly reduces my heart rate. I seem to have extreme sensitivity to heat as well and it calms my pulse in warm temperatures too. Its never fun to always be aware of a racing heart rate and this med really helps. Takes about 20 mins to kick in but then I usually feel much calmer. Very happy to been prescribed this."


"I was prescribed Nitrofurantoin(7 days) after Trimethoprim wasn't working after 3 days. What started as a urine infection got further up and spread to bladder & kidneys.
I immediately looked online at reviews of Nitrofurantoin and was scared to death about taking it after what I read.
I took it at 8am and 8pm WITH food (just 2 slices of toast or 2 weetabix was enough for me to not feel sick after taking it) BUT for me, if I got up and tried to do too much just after taking the tablet I'd feel a bit sick. So for the first hour after taking it i'd just sit and relax and then I'd be fine!
The only side effect I got was a bit of a dry mouth. I started feeling the tablet working after 2 days. Definitely recommend this! U.K. England"


"I am 32 years old and have struggled with acne since high school.  I was completely freaked out about taking this medication after reading all the horror stories online, but after talking to my doctor I knew I wanted to give it a try.  I am in my 2nd month of taking the medication and I have seen dramatic results.  I have not had any bad side effects so far.  Have had dry lips (too be expected) but they have not been bad at all (Thanks to Aquaphor Lip Repair - I constantly put it on).  My skin is dry, which is also to be expected.  I wear contacts and my eyes do get dry at times, but no drops help.  I do notice joint aches at times so I take Tylenol or Advil and it helps.  It's nothing severe at all.  BEST MEDICATION EVER."


"Original total cholesterol value was 237.  Prescribed 10mm of Crestor and had stomach cramps. Two weeks later prescribed 10mg of Simvastatin. After 3 months, recent blood test revealed a total cholesterol value of 139.  No side effects and all other blood test results were in normal levels. Works for me."


"I had a yeast infection for about 3 days last week. I knew I needed to do something. I purchased the 1 day treatment with the day and night time option. I inserted the medication on my lunch at work with out using the cream or wipes. I then started reading reviews which freaked me out and I got so scared. Nothing happened for a few hours then there was a slight burning sensation. Nothing horrible. Some of the medication came out on the pad I was wearing, and the uncomfortableness lasted the rest of the night. I woke up fine and the yeast infection was gone. Worked for me, and will use this again."


"I started taking this since I was 17, 19 now. Works great, but definitely gained weight. I gained about 30 pounds while on it. my boobs went from a B to a C & usually they usually get tender the week before I start my period. My period lasts about 4 days with light bleeding. Never had an issue with headaches or severe cramps. I took this pill every morning, but if you take it without breakfast you tend to feel a little nauseas."


"So happy! I have been taking Celexa for 12 years, tried several others first with terrible side effects or no effect at all. Have stopped taking it a couple times ...fantastic sex drive but depression returned. Instead have reduced to 10 mg/day and it's still working for me after all these years. "


"At first I was scared because I heard some people had non stop bleeding. But I've been on this for about a year now and it's been great. I get my period , maybe once every 2 months but I rarely get it. I don't have to worry about it and I have no side affects. I've tried the shot and the pill before and don't get me wrong the pill was great. It was just the matter of remembering.  I hated the shot. I only did it once and I stopped because it gave me bad stomach pains and I was consistently bloated.  So my body took the implant pretty well and I don't plan on taking it out anytime soon."


"My experience on this medication was a roller coaster but thank God I stayed on. I am a 21 year old college female, studied abroad in Europe with no anxiety problems, but when I came home my world came crumbling down. I couldn't work and would even throw up and pass out from anxiety. When I went on 5mg I had every side effect in the book. I wanted to get off but stuck it out. Went from 5 to 10 to 20mg, which I am on now. It took 5-6 weeks but THANK GOD I waited. I feel back to my old self and can resume my normal life. I would've been in the looney bin had it not been for Lexapro. Not a 10/10 because it took so long to work and side effects were awful at first, but they go away!"


"This drug works wonders on most people including myself.  It calmed my panic, it helped my depression and helped me see life for what it is instead of worrying about every little problem.  "


"This is the only drug that has kept my generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder under control. I prescribed this by my PCP when I was about 20 and have been taking it up to the present. I couldn't go without it. "


"I've been battling depression and anxiety for 20 years. I've tried just about every medicine, but they all kept me from sleeping and I suffer insomnia on my own as it is, but they made it worse. It took a month on lexapro before I could wake up. But I gave it that month to see and the side effect went away and I sleep better than I usually do. It helped depression and anxiety in just days.
Recently, my husband of only one year left me at the same time that my mother died. It's not helping as much now, but were I not on it I would NOT be here. Even on it, it's a daily fight."


"I dumbly took Botox for migraines after not researching the potentially dangerous and fatal side effects. Botox is a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause the symptoms of botulism if it spreads. This is exactly what has happened to me. Side effects included extreme muscle weakness, dropping eye lids, difficulty swallowing and breathing and as well as vertigo, ringing in the ears and burning and numbness in my arms and legs. Side effects lasted longer than the 3-6 months I was told they would by doctors. Do your research before trying Botox."


"I had the nexplanon for a year and two months. It was an effective form of birth control until it started giving me excruciating joint pain to the point that I could not get out of bed. It started with the bottom of my feet and my toes. At first I thought I had hurt myself working out or some problem with my feet. Two days after that it started in my fingers and then day after day it started working its way to my wrists, elbows then shoulders. Then it started moving to my knees. The inflammation and the pain grew tremendously. This was all in a month. During that month I went to several doctors. None of them knew what it was. It sounded like RA But I did not have any of the symptoms that would lead to arthritis."


"Clearly the nuva ring doesn't work the same for everyone but I love it. Stick it in once a month and forget about it. Cleared my face up and it didn't affect my sex drive. Occasionally I experience dryness but that's what lube is for ladies!! Don't be afraid to try it I'm sure your partner will be open to the ideA."


"Doesn't seem to have much effect. Relief only lasts a very short period of time and I cannot take more before my pain is back."


"I was told I had osteoarthritis and surgery is not an option on my knee due to my age.  I had the cortisone shot in August.  It did nothing.  Therefore, I had the Synvics-one in March. Oh my god, there ought to be law that ALL doctors should be frank with their patients, who are in severe pain and seek relief.  Low and behold, I had the shot which was somewhat painful, but bearable.   The first night I was in agony...could not sleep for the pain.  It has been a week, and severe stiffness has set in.  A friend recommend Blue emu for the pain, and Tylenol.  The Blue Emu helps, but the pain (which is  as worst as last week) is beginning to subside during the day.  At night...just horrible, I awake ever two to three hours with pain!  Never!!!"


"I wouldn't typically give any drug such a high rating, but Vyvanse has truly changed my life with few if any side effects. I take 20 mg once a day, and it lasts 12 to 14 hours. It took about 2 weeks of trial and error to find the dosage, but it was very worthwhile. I am happier, less anxious, and significantly more organized than I have ever been. I am a student and many areas of my life--academics, social functioning, general health, etc.--have all improved greatly. The inattentive fog has cleared, and I finally feel able to create the life I want to be living. Better control over my life has also given me back self-esteem and stabilized my moods. I am so grateful."


"First of all, for all the people writing reviews that haven't been on this drug for AT LEAST 4-6 WEEKS your reviews are almost invalid, this drug is as two-faced as many make it out to be and for those people they just aren't giving it enough time to see both sides of it. I have been on and off Seroquel for a few years now and currently taking 150mg at night for the past 3 months. It helped with anxiety and sleep which was great! I was less intimidated and anxious at school and with friends. However, it seriously affected my mood, constantly shifting from agitated to blunted, my concentration, my dreams, weight and eventually, over the course of about six weeks, caused one of the most serious relapses in my depression in years. Be careful!"


"Good Experience overall. More motivated less depressed and no side effects. I take 30mg. You have to take it with food otherwise you'd get nausea."


"Doc put me on this drug as a "broad spectrum" for a suspected bacterial infection.  What started out ok (bad taste but no other side effects) turned into HELL.  On day six, this drugs side effects came on strong.  Horrible taste, AWFUL nightmares to the point where I would lay in the bath or repeatedly read a poster in my room to avoid falling asleep.  Stomach pain and nausea were unbearable and I was very disoriented."


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"My headaches have been a true mix of both tension/migraine.  I cannot tolerate triptans, due to heart and blood pressure issues.  I could not function without this medicine, when I have a bad headache, that can keep me in bed for days.  One warning, as I've been on and off these for 20 plus years - and you will be up a tolerance, and risk of rebounds - so take early when you feel one coming on, so as not to need more during the day."


"This pill works fast. Taste is horrific but it works. One issue I have is that I have crazy mood swings and mental problems. I'm seeing doctors but they believe these came out of nowhere because of the pill side effects. So if your noticing yourself crying a lot or having mental issues out of no where go back to your doctor."


"I have a son that has struggled with an attention problem in school since kindergarden. He is now 11 years old. We tried everything not to put him on medication. The homework struggle and impulsiveness became too much for us to handle, and we finally agreed to try something. His doctor told us about a new ADHD medication called Vyvanse. Believe this or not, it was like magic the first day. He was able to get all his work done in class, and went from a A,B,C student to all A's and one B in one quarter. We have the report cards to prove it. The side effects are minimal and for him the 30mg works great. I encourage anyone battling this problem to ask their childs doctor about Vyvanse. It has changed by sons life as well as ours."


"I have been off and on Byetta for about 2 years.  I had issues with vomiting and not being able to tolerate the 10mg.  Finally I found the answer.  My doctor said to take the injection then wait 1 full hour to eat, and not to eat more than a very very small portion of food. I have not had any upset stomach doing this. I thought it was because of what I ate, like salad dressing or greasy foods, but it was the amount of food that I ate that was making me sick.  I haven't been sick this round of using the medicines, using this method and feeling very full after just a few bites of food.  Try limiting your food intake to relieve stomach upset."


"I can't say whether or not this was successful at treating my UTI because I had to stop on the third day. I was experiencing severe side effects, including chest pain and  numbness in my hands and arms. Also it was rather expensive, even with my insurance, after I stopped taking it my doctor prescribed Keflex which worked and was only $2.00 a month."


"I was hospitalized within the first 3 weeks of taking Tricyclen as I had a severe side effect. It created excess spinal fluid in my body causing pressure on my brain. This required two lumbar punctures to help drain my spinal fluid following by a week of being bedridden.

Please please please talk to your doctor before taking this. I have never had a problem like this with BC before until I got put on Tricyclen and threw the rest of them out."


"I was on some heavy duty antibiotics, which caused a yeast infection. So I called my doctor. She told me to get monistic, but not the one day (she said that one caused burning)

I think she might secretly despise me. Like, why tell someone to get this vaginal hell cream instead of just prescribing a one day pill.

Anyways, day one was like hell. It burned and itched and my fiancé thought I was insane. Literally insane. I cried, I rocked on the floor crying and itching my sore vagina. Night two right now and it's not so bad. It burns, and itches but nothing like last night. I'll update the next few nights."


"I took the first pill today (4/17/15) and within 30 minutes I felt as if I just walked out of an Olympic sized pool that I've been walking in my whole life. I'm super alert and my hearing even perked up. Wow! I generally don't like taking meds that make me "feel" different but this is a reaction I can appreciate. I feel like I'm plugged in right now. Like my metabolism switch was turned back to "teen"! I'm looking forwards to the weight loss and weening off the med and maintaining better eating habits and exercise...for life."


"Be very careful with the dosing, less is more. Start slow, for me, I'm Bipolar 1 & 50 mg brought clarity but 100 mg. made word finding difficult."


"Lisinopril 10mg and jumping rope twice a day for 10 mins, controlled my high blood pressure bringing the numbers from 140/90 to 118/60. Not side effects at all. I'm guessing I'm so lucky not feeling the side effects as many people do."


"A combination of PTSD....also suspect too many years standing watch in Navy.

It has all resulted in YEARS of a nightmare surrounding sleep

It featured high anxiety which began about 5PM.. inability to go to sleep once I got into

bed, and waking up during night and early AM awakening...

I was lucky to get 4 hours..sometimes so wired no sleep at all during night

Prazosin shuts off my mind so I can not only go to sleep but stay asleep..

and the result of my days are better...less focus on negativity

I am unable to verbalize how much it has helped.....so entirely thankful

my physician who listened and Rxd..

He works with other vets too who apparently have also remarkable stories

of success."


"Before taking Paxil, I was on several different antidepressants which didn't work. At one point I had to be hospitalized, but since being on Paxil I am no longer depressed. Only side effect that I have experienced is dry mouth. It has been 17 years that I have been symptom free!"


"I'm 21 and have two babies. I had the Mirena inserted about 6 weeks after my son was born. Insertion was slightly painful but overall had few cramps that day. From there on after had unpredictable bleeding and bad mood swings bloating all the time even still today. My periods are light but the side effects constantly make me feel as if I'm pregnant. I'm have cravings and breakouts sometimes. My partner feels it during intercourse and he absolutely despises it I've been seriously considering getting it removed but as for a long term birth control it's a good option but my side effects are awful. I've had it now for 9 months. "


"From Day One, the very first dose of Suboxone, I was able to quit my habit. No withdrawals at all - even the mental depression & lack of energy the Suboxone had that covered too! Never missed a moment from work (except to make my Subs appointments). I feel great and am living again. Now I'm into Month #2 of Suboxone Maintenance: 16 mg. a day, as one daily dose. The best news is my insurance covers the 'program'. So instead of chasing a high every 4 hours & wasting $300-400 a month, I take one single Suboxone dose each morning and just $8/month (!) in copay. For me a Win-Win situation.                            Side Effects: Urinary hesitation and constipation - that's all."


"I've been taking 250mg for almost a week.  At first I felt a bit euphoric, but that quickly passed.  Now I just feel physically anxious- sweating, increased heart rate and blood pressure, heat waves.  I'm cutting down to 150mg and hoping that the effects subside as I get used to being on the medicine.  If this anxiety does not go away, I cannot continue on the medication."


"Being un-diagnosed bi-polar for almost 40 years having many manic breaks until one was so big I wound up hospitalized.  I was put on Topamax, Prozac and Lunesta. With a Bi-Polar type II diagnosis I had to change my lifestyle.  Already in recovery I approached mental health in the same way.Topamax soon wasn't enough so my doc tried Latuda and it didn't work. Depakote is working great I am finally myself! Yes it makes me hungry I just keep my calorie count the same. The med doesn't cause weight gain -  my decisions do. With how well it works I'd take some curves and feel this awesome any day!!"


"This works! I'm so happy my doctor recommended me this 5 years ago! My life has less worries! Thanks Hyper care/Drysol!"


"I have been taking Januvia for 3 months and my A1C has dropped from 7.2 to 6.6.  I have also lost 12 pounds."


"This medication acts fast, causes me be be jittery, my blood pressure is low and then settles down after a few hours, then my blood pressure rises again. I take 2 a day."


"I have been on Lo for over 7 years now and love it!! I went thru 3 other BCs with horrid side effects and then found this! I have never experienced any negative side effects and have not had an unwanted pregnancy so I suggest it!"


"I had anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and tried many medicines before pregabalin. It has been the most effective of all. I would describe my condition as a constant compulsion to change the present moment, no matter what I'm doing. I had only a very vague idea what 'relax' meant. I get what I think is relaxation on pregabalin and just be. The compulsion to change every moment is greatly reduced.
For side effects I do get dizziness and if I miss a dose, I can't sleep."


"If you are debating on whether to take this, please don't hesitate. I was in car accident Dec 2012 and have whiplash/cervical strain. Injured my neck and shoulder. I was in pain for the past 9 months and no doctor would prescribe me narcotics due to Ohio law. I was miserable, crying, irritable and nothing I took (IB, Tylenol) wouldn't touch the pain. I got a prescription for Gabapentin, which I am allergic to BAD side effects. Finally the doc gave me Lyrica, within 15 min of taking pain GONE. I feel like I'm back to normal again (like the day before accident). Lyrica is a miracle although pricey. There is a program you can get through Lyrica website to qualify for free prescription. Try it."


"I was given Flolan after a major heart attack and bypass surgery. In the ICU for a month my vitals were failing and lung function continued to decrease. As a last resort Flolan was given (on a ventilator this entire month). Within 24 hrs my blood oxygen was near normal and I was soon off the ventilator.  Without this medicine I would have surely died."


"Works on paranoia really well, very calming. But this is really for SEVERE symptoms (mostly POSITIVE schizophrenic symptoms like hearing voices, paranoia). The higher the dose, the more zombielike. It literally is a chemical straight jacket.. But some of us need it."


"This drug was totally ineffective for restless leg syndrome.  DR determined it would help.  Dr was wrong."


"I was put on Lexapro for 6 months as a trial after having a major anxiety attack (my first one ever) to see how my anxiety would change. I was prescribed 20mg. Because I have never been on medication in my life and heard these things can be highly addicting I took it upon myself (and with the approval of my Dr) to only take 10MG for the duration of the trial period. I definitely feel it helps with anxiety in the short-term. I gained 40lbs, especially in my belly area and head HORRIBLE heart burn. I also had dizzy spells once in a while. I would not count on any meds for long-term. I recommend change in lifestyle than to suffer from side effects of meds. The good almost doesn't outweight the bad."


"Monistat 7

I'd used Monistat in the past, worked great, no problems, so this time I picked up Monistat brand since I didn't want to risk having a different experience.

WAS THAT EVER A MISTAKE!

The first dose was fine and my YI cleared up significantly.  I was pretty happy.  The second dose came with intense itching that nothing relieves. It was horrible!  It lasted about an hour.  The third dose I had the same intense itching plus unbearable burning!  I washed and douched and tried to get as much off of me as possible.  It's nasty greasy stuff, so hard to wash off.  I won't be sleeping much tonight as the burning is NOT fading off like the itching did.

It's worse than the YI."


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


"Insect bite: No side effects. Tape was a relief for the pain and swelling relief."


"I started this medication about a week ago in preparation for Lasik surgery. At first I balked at the price, but it works really well and I thank my lucky starts for the company that made it. My eyes are not as red as before and I am not blinking every three seconds. I think it's great!"


"I been on nexplanon going on 3 years in July I can  honesty say this is the worst  birth control ever please don't make the same mistake I made I suffer mood swings depression long period that last for 2 week maybe more my sex drive was so low,  I had anxiety attacks, bad acne,  yeast infection and weight gain.  This birth control will make u so mean and grumpy the only good thing about this product is you can't get pregnant unless it is inserted  incorrectly in your arm. Out of all the stuff I have gone through I never gotten pregnant so it does it job. But who want to put up with the horrible side effects? but everybody body different "


"I am really worried about all of the negative side effects that everyone keeps talking about, only because I already had them before I got Mirena put in. I just had Mirena put in two days ago, I was on the third day of my period, and it was heavy enough for super tampons.  Now, two days later, it's not even heavy enough for alight tampon, I've been wearing a liner since I had it put in.  The process of getting it was nothing. The doctor kept telling me that I might feel a cramp.... nothing but a tiny pinch. Overall it went very good for me. I went out in the waiting room for a few minutes and was reading a magazine. Felt a little carsick, but that went away in less than a minute and hasn't been back since."


"My dr. prescribed Contrave for weight loss.  I started taking it yesterday with only 1 tablet around lunchtime.  About an hour later I was bowing down to the toilet and extremely dizzy.  It's been 24 hours now and I'm still feeling nauseous and I feel "out of it". I'm glad I only took 1 pill!"


"I've been trough a lot of trauma, lost my family, just had a baby and now looking forward to  a Euro-trip. This drug is a life-saver, after trying a lot. Makes me feel good, lot less anxiety and safe to take it while taking care of my daughter. You found the right one! ;-)"


"I got on Wellbutrin Xl 150mg cause I was having a hard time with racing thoughts and depression . It's been two weeks and my anxiety went up from a 6 to like 100 it also makes me afraid I'll hurt my self when I get the strong anxiety feeling its weird. I also have been really shaky inside and nausea it's hard to eat I get so sick at my stomach which isn't so bad I need to lose some lbs . I told my doc and he is going to add abilify 2 mg to see if it helps . I haven't picked up the prescription yet till later today. I hope it helps . I just want to feel normal again enjoy life instead of dwelling on everything. "


"This medicine is amazing. I have taken this for three different urinary tract infections and it has cured them in only one day, seriously. I give it a rating of 11."


"I have had no side effects from Januvia.  My A1C went from 9.2 to 5.5 using 1500 mg of Metformin and 100 mg Januvia, and adjusting my diet and exercising a bit.   I am lucky in tht neither Metformin or Januvia seems to bother me.

There is a savings certificate on the Januvia site to keep the co pay down to $5, normally it would be $55 for me."


"Worked for pain but caused severe nausea for me."


"Though the Prednisone is working so far for the anemia, the side effects are bad. Extreme retention of fluids, high blood pressure, moon face, little sleep, and indigestion.  Now taking more pills to combat the side effects of this medicine. "


"This is the best medicine for Chronic pancreatitis. I am using it and it's very helpful for me. Please use less amount of protein in your food and break your meal in two three to four parts in full day. Don't take more amount of food at one time. This medicine is helpful for improving pancreas.
"


"I've had this for a month- perfect. No pain, no cramps- feel completely normal and happy! This is the birth control I've been looking for. I'm on my first period- showed up like clock work and very light. No pain! Great. Give it a shot."


"I was prescribed this medication when Celexa wasn't working. My doctor put me on 75mg to start and that night I took my first dose at 9:30pm and by 11pm I was a total wreck. I became super nauseous and began throwing up quite a bit. My my body was restless and my arms and neck were numb and tingly. I managed to get a bit of sleep but the next morning was a write off - I felt completely disabled and lethargic. I was so weak, I could hardly hold my cell phone. I could hardly walk I was so dizzy and the brain zaps were fierce. I immediately visited my doctor and he prescribed me something else. 75mg to start was way tooooo strong for me. I can't believe the side effects I've suffered after 1 dose. My advice would to please try another option."


"I have been on the Implanon since May of 09. At first I bled a lot, like everyday for six months then I would bleed two weeks out of a month. I had really bad mood swings so I went to my doctor and she put me on Prozac to calm me down. After I was put on that I wasn't as stressed and I am now bleeding once a month for 5 days except this month, I haven't had a period. I like this birth control because I do not have to think about it at all and because it's a three year plan which is perfect for me but other than those minor issues I love the Implanon."


"I'm 18 years old and have had terrible acne for almost five years. I tried every possible thing before being put on Bactrim. I have been on this medicine for a little less than a year. After trying every other medicine my primary doctor could prescribe she gave me this and it worked so well. I've never had a problem with side effects. I highly recommend this medicine if you haven't had luck finding a solution to getting rid of your acne."


"I am 40 yrs old, and I have had Mirena just 2 months shy of 5 years before having it removed. I experienced some cramping when it was inserted and a few days after. Post removal, I had very minor cramping, but nothing that required medication. I have had no to very light periods the entire time. I still weigh within 5 pounds of what I weighed when I got it. No mood swings, no anxiety, no depression. This is the best birth control that I've had. Previously I was on Depo for 12 years and the pill before that. Everyone's body chemistry is different, therefore, the negative experiences may not be yours. If you are hesitant, I would try Depo Provera first as my experience with both have been very similar."


"Life saver!! When I first got this I had about ten pimples on my face.. I've been suffering from acne for years and years. I applied this and went to bed and when I woke up I could already tell a difference. Within 2-3 days I had no pimples on my face! I'm not joking! Also it did not make my skin feel dry at all which is a bonus! This cream seriously boosted my self confidence by 100%! I will continue to use this for as long as I can."


"Love this med! Nothing else works to stop my nose from running all day."


"I was prescribed the metronidazole vaginal gel for bacterial vaginitis. They have me using the gel before bed for 5 days. Tonight will be my 4th night of use. So far the only side effects I have noticed are a very think, white discharge and menstrual like cramps and discomfort in my pelvic area. I also have had a slight decrease in my appetite. "


"Anafranil completely rid me of OCD for the first time in my life.  No other medication was as effective. I recommend anyone with severe OCD at least give Anafranil a try."


"I am bipolar on 500mg Lamictal, 1200mg gabapentin and prescribed Klonopin. I am prescribed to take it 1.0 two times a day but don't need to often. When I am hysterical or very angry in which I want to hit someone or tell them off which happens sometimes you take half usually and it works. I take a whole one if its too much to handle. I don't use it all the time sometimes not even for a week. It's wonderful for those out if control moments! Klonopin is much better for bipolar, to use than Xanax. Xanax had no effect in me at all!"


"Product had pretty much zero impact on my acne. I used daily, sometimes twice daily for a year and there have been no results. Product can be pricey as well. I'm not sure it's worth. At least it wasn't for me."


"My experience with implanon has been off and on good. I got my implant in July 2015 and in September I started losing weight due to diet and exercise. I eventually fell off with that then started gaining weight. So I cannot be sure if its the implant or not? My boobs were constantly sore with the month of October, that has gone away now. I had my period in August, and spotted a little in September but I have not had my period since which the doctor said was normal. I have had a lot of depressed symptoms, I am more sensitive now than I was before. But now I am getting use to it and just becoming more intune with my body. Overall I do like the implant, the procedure did not hurt, everything went well. So far so good for me :)"


"My daughter has been on this medication for a little over a year. She is doing wonderfully on it, besides her attitude and behavior when it wears off.  I do however, give her an additional pill in the afternoon if we have something to do in the evening. The only side effect that she gets is not wanting to eat. She has been on several other medicines and this one is the best."


"I'm not exaggerating when I tell you all: This medicine has truly CHANGED my life! After suffering with clinical depression and anxiety for over 12 years, this is the only medicine that has completely taken the anxiety away. I take it along with Prozac 30mg and WOW what a difference it has made for me. (I've been on Prozac for 8-10 years). The Prozac helps with depression, but since my main problem was anxiety, it didn't help very much with that. Xanax wouldn't work for me like it used to, and after this last debilitating episode of anxiety, I had lost hope that anything would work for me. I'm only on 10mg on Buspar and it's literally made me the way I was before I started suffering all those years ago.  I feel like the REAL ME again! Amazing!"


"Started taking contrave July 13th the 1st week I lost 3lbs but since then I have gained 4lbs... I have counted calories staying under 1200 a day  and exercised 30 mins 3-4 times a week before contrave but had come to a platue so dr. wanted me to try contrave I am thinking this is not a drug for me..... I will give it one more week before going back to dr.... hoping for some changes.."


"This review is past due because I stopped taking Lo Loestrin a couple years ago due to job/insurance change and moving. But out of all the pills I've tried, this one was actually one of the better ones I tried. PROS: NO periods, no cramps, no mood swings, all gone :D!!  I'm a heavy bleeder with horrible cramps/pains. This completely got rid of it and it was SO nice.

Weight gain! For some this is a huge con,  but I'm a 5'2 105lb stick figure girl and I've always struggled with trying to gain a healthy weight. This added about 5-10lbs on and I was really happy about it.

CONS: Acne :(  I never had bad acne until I started taking this. Also had no desire for sex, but I took it to fix my bad periods, not for dodging babies."


"Okay so i started my first depo in July of 2016 because I had a pregnancy scare and my periods are terrible, the first month was fine. Second month I started spotting but it never showed after a day. The third month was just terrible blood everywhere! I went to my docotor and she told me that its rare for women to still have heavy periods on the depo and convinced me to get another in September which was my last. I bled for the entire 2nd shot and thats what? 4 months counting August. I have nothing but blood clots n pain. I feel I lost my boyfriend because I couldn't have sex. If iIdid would cause me to bleed a lot more! Its now been 3 weeks since I'm off the depo PLEASE DNT GET THIS SHOT!! Its just a mistake you'll carry for 10 months!"


"I have absolutely no complaints about Celexa. I've been on 20mg for about a month and a half now, and I feel like a huge weight has just been lifted off of me. I spend so much less of my day thinking about things that upset me, and I'm much more capable of just letting negative thoughts go and not letting them affect me. As a college student, I've dealt been dealing with a tremendous amount of social and academic stress. I was very weary about getting on an antidepressant out of fear of being "judged", but in retrospect getting on Celexa may be the best decision I've ever made. I couldn't help but to post on here and share my experience. It certainly took a little while to kick in, but be patient. I am feeling happy like I haven't in years!"


"I was diagnosed a year ago. I have cataplexy as well. I've been taking 250mg daily of Nuvigil for about 8 months and I'm very happy with it. The only complaint is that (as another person said) it doesn't last all day, I also crash out in the afternoon. If you have this problem I suggest eliminating idol time. I have noticed that if I keep myself busy I have no problem going through the day normally. I haven't experienced any side effects whatsoever.  Most of the other medications may keep you awake all day, but seeing as the side effects can be devastating for many people, I'll take the extra effort to keep my idol time to a minimum and unlike the other medicines I've tried, I don't feel like I need a higher dose every 3 months."


"My 7 year old son has severe ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. We started him on Vyvanse 20mg, Depakote twice a day, and Kapvay .1 in the evening last week. We were worried because he talked SO much like he was on speed, and ran around the house looking for paper, books, pens to write with and never sat still but he was very pleasant when we started the Vyvanse. However, he was Always saying I'm sorry for blurting, please, and thank you which was unheard of before starting the Vyvanse.  We were noticing around 4:00 the Vyvanse wearing off and the aggression and whining came back with a vengeance! We added another .1 mg Kapvay after school with his Depakote and the result was AMAZING. He is pleasant ALL day long."


"I love this medicine. I do not sweat anymore. I don't have the armpit stains. I can wear whatever I want without worrying about sweating. If you have excessive sweating you should try this product."


"This med did nothing for the pain. I have a pinch nerve in my neck  Give me the impression that I don't have muscle spasms. Used an anti inflammatory which did the trick."


"vomitting and stomamps Cramps
going to Toilet  every 5 to 10 minute

"


"i dont know what i would do without this medication. it has made my pain so much more bearable, i still get flares from time to time but on a daily basis my life is so much better than when this first started."


"3 days of using Azor and had swelling of my lower lip.  I was taken off Lisinopril for the same reason."


"I have taken Adipex since February 2009.  I am a 41 year old, 5'6" female.  When I started taking Adipex, I weighed 187 pounds.  By August, I weighed 150 pounds, which was my initial goal.  I now weigh 143 pounds!  Most of my clothes are now sizes 6 & 8.  I feel great.  Adipex has changed my life.  It was super simple to do."


"Fantastic for my migraines."

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


"I have severe IBS and am frequently suffering from either constipation or diarrhea. The pain from either one (but especially the diarrhea) is excruciating at times and can be debilitating. After a hospitalization for dehydration due to the diarrhea and for pain management, my PCP prescribed a regular dose 1x a day as well as a sublingual PRN dose. The PRN in particular has been an absolute miracle drug. It does cause some drowsiness, but it is worth it to me to get so much pain relief so quickly. I usually feel better within just a couple of minutes of taking it. No other medication has ever helped me so much or so quickly."


"I recently started taking birth control for my PMDD and this is my second pack (Gianvi with my 1st, Loryna for the 2nd).  I'm also diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) with Panic Disorder and depressive symptoms. When I was taking Gianvi, I had no anxiety, mood swings, a short period that lasted 4 days (it used to be 7-9), and my relationship around people, especially my boyfriend, is stable.

It's only been my third week of using Loryna, and my anxiety and depression is back, I break out easily, I've been feeling this terrible ache in my lower abdomen, and I've been constantly arguing with my boyfriend. I'm definitely calling my doctor to change prescriptions!!!"


"I was on Zelnorm for less than a year and it was the best year I had. I had energy, was losing weight, went to the bathroom on a regular basis. Please bring it back."


"I take Seroquel for schizo-affective disorder.  I also take Prolixin in addition to that and an anti-depressant.  I have had schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder for about 4 years now.  The reason I name both schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder is because I go in and out of delusions that seem very real, but I have discerned to just brush most of them off as normal things I interpret as conspiracies or straight out someone wishing me to be dead.  It can be fairly scary but it has made me much stronger and now I still constantly get the voices but no longer do I go months, day after day, of thinking someone out there has it in for me or other delusions.  Seroquel, in my opinion has made me much less paranoid."


"This is the best birth control. I got off my period before I got the Nexplanon since then small spotting. Every now and then I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I haven't had any cramps. With the Depo shot I had a period for 2 months, gained 40 pounds. Horrible I know. But I have actually lost weight, no cramps, no heavy flow. I'm so happy with this choice this is the best thing I have done!"


"This medicine works fast and hard for anxiety. It will stop anxiety dead in it's tracks. I highly recommend Lyrica for anxiety. The only side effect has been some sleepiness, but I'll take it considering the anxiety relief being provided by Lyrica."


"UPDATE: I wrote on here March 7,2017 complaining of bleeding since January, it is now April 26,2017 and I'm STILL bleeding. Almost 5 months!!! I only had one shot and I'm bleeding for this long... Anyone who has experienced this, how long did it take for the bleeding to stop? Did you period go back to normal?"


"This was the generic brand my original bc was changed to. The 1st month or so I didn't notice any changes but recently, about 3 months in I've been getting headaches, horrible nausea and stomach cramps & my period has gone back to being longer than shorter like it was on the first pill. I've never been one to feel unmotivated, lethargic, depressed, or anxious, but as of recently I've been experiencing all those things which is no doubt making stress induced nausea worse and have just generally felt bad. I went to my doctor and had multiple blood tests taken and some other tests but all came back with no abnormalities, leading me to realize it was change in birth control. Ups? Worked and no breast tenderness. But thats it."


"Pros: Have NOT gotten pregnant; clear skin; easy to take.
Cons: ALWAYS tired; decreased sex drive; EXTREMELY moody; period last 10 days."


"I'll have to say it worked cuz it did , my partner and I had intercourse but the condom broke , I pulled out anyway to be sure , thats how I knew it broke , we went 45 mins later to get plan B , and she had light spotting 2 days later , then nothing and about 2 weeks later her period came before the expected date with all the cramps and stuff"


"I have been on nexplanon for about 5 months now and I like it as far a proctection from getting pregnant but not as far as the hormone changes. I get very bad mood swings, I also get depressed sometimes. The worst part is I get very bad acne i have never had this issue and now one side of my face looks very ugly!!!!!! They may want to chnge the hormone effects with this considering acne problems. It has also started acne on my back as well!!! My boyfriend hates it! and so do I"


"I have taken two doses and it didn't work at all. Was it placebo? I have no idea. What happened was that I experienced strange psychotropic effects: lessened ability to judge distances, lessened ability to follow conversations, slower reading speed, headache, facial muscle spasm, clenching my jaw, and then a crying episode after 4-5 hours after the dose. At least I know it didn't cause my acne.

I am scared to try the higher dose after reading everyone's comments and the fact that my blood pressure runs low to begin with. And the fact that my stomach is prone to nausea."


"Bupropion has restored my very far-gone faith in the entire concept of medicine for depression. It's not an acutely noticeable effect, I am not jumping for joy or smiling like an idiot but I am not depressed anymore. I still have kind of a sad life thanks to my mental health problems but I no longer feel like I need to kill myself in the near future, I don't cry, and my anxiety has become less severe.

Prior to bupropion I had been on a ridiculously long list of other antidepressant medication (Including but not limited to: Fluoxetine, Citalopram, Venalfaxine, Mirtazapine) and benzodiazapines for anxiety (like, 4 different ones). These did NOTHING. But bupropion did, it's kind of amazing. I recommend it highly."


"Horrible side effects. Was on for 1 month but was nauseated and vomited every day for that month. I give it a two only because it didn't make me suicidal, as some other Rx's have (cough-Cymbalta)

Now on Viibryd and doing much better (and not vomiting!)  :)"


"This was my first colonoscopy prep. MoviPrep tastes like a salty, lemon flavored drink. I chilled mine beforehand and I think that made it go down easier. My doctor's orders were to follow a clear fluids diet in the morning and then start a liter of MoviPrep at 5pm and at 10pm. It started to work before I finished the last of the first one. After about an hour and a half on and off the pot, it all settled and I rested until the next dose at 10pm.
I did some research and decided to follow a soft diet the day before I started MoviPrep, so maybe that helped the whole process. It really wasn't that bad."


"I started taking this last year to help with my periods. I was having severe cramps and long, heavy periods. After the first 2 months or so, my periods are lighter and shorter, and I rarely have cramps. My only complaint is when I haven't eaten recently and then take the pill I usually end up barfing in the middle of the night. Other than that, I really like this pill."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Pleasantly surprised to find that there are an awful lot of drama queens/kings and cry babies on here. The stuff really does not taste all that bad. Started by holding my nose only to end up casually sipping it. Only thing I will say is that you will do yourself a favor to camp out in the bathroom and make yourself as comfortable as possible. Bring laptop, books, Ipad, phone. Your going to be in there for a while. Also a small heater and jacket for when you get some chills. Stay in there for as long as your still going, otherwise I can see how people would have accidents. Good luck!!"


"I'm 13 and I take it for regulating my periods and making my cramps easier to handle. I've been taking it for 2 months and it made my acne better, I'm not so moody and my periods are normal for once! The only thing is I'm hungry more often, no weight gain though. I love Apri!"


"This prescription had the opposite effect. It did not help me sleep at all, but made me want to climb the walls. Wasted $44. After insurance payment"


"While being care giver for my dying husband I rarely remembered to take BP meds.  One day I felt terrible and checked my BP.  It was 120/111.  Trip to doc.  Put on increasing doses of Carvedilol, up to 25mg twice a day with zero results.  Lowest BP 147/89 usually 190/86.  Do not feel this is working and have asked doctor to try something else.  Problem is systolic is  much higher but diastolic is not.  Doctor says my heart is good and lungs clear despite having the flu.  I am 82 years old.  Had a stress test two years ago, which was perfect.   I am hoping she may add something to bring down the systolic.  I have had few side effects"


"I was diagnosed with rrms in May this year. Tecfidera was the first medication I have tried. I felt good for about three days in the first week on the 120mg dose, apart from some flushing and burning skin.  I haven't felt that clear headed for such a long time. Then, two weeks into the full dose I developed such severe cramping in my stomach with vomiting and diarrhea that I was too scared to take another dose. I will try something else instead. I really really want to have clear thoughts and energy!"


"I was asked by Dr to try Mirena as the pill was causing a skin condition of my vulva to get worse.  I didn't want to as the progesterone only pill when nursing made me gain weight. But she suggested 3 months so I agreed to prevent my PCOS.  It hurt A LOT!! I cramped really bad for an hour and bled for a day or two. I then had 2 periods per month.  Yes, they were lighter and no pain (it helps with pain my Dr said.)  I also had dizzines. I felt like I could faint often! I also was very forgetful. I forgot my son's ortho appt 2xs and never had in 3 years!!! I hardly ever have acne and did all the time. I have been off a month and that quit, normal period. I lost hair but have lots. It did not hurt coming out my only good comment. Ha"


"I decided to have Mirena after being on the pill for so long. The insertion was painful but barable. My doctor said because I have had no kids my cervix has never been diallated so it could be painful. She made sure I took ibprophine before the appointment. I'm prone to migraines around my menstral cycle and I noticed they were gone. A def plus for me! But a major down fall was major hair loss and major acne on face, chest, and back. I have scars everywhere. I'm a hairdresser and spent a ton of money on acne and hair stuff, nothing worked. I never had any other problems or had any other symptoms. I would still have it in if it wasn't for the hair loss and acne in my mid 30s. Everyone is different and has their own experiences."


"I have been on 50mg of Topirimate for just over a month now and have had no weight loss. I am very disappointed. I suddenly gained 12 kilos last year due to medication and now weigh 55kg which is heavy for me. I want to lose 7kg to get back to my normal weight. I don't know whether to up my dose? Everyone seems to lose weight instantly?"


"I use this for frequent urination/interstitial cy. I have been on it for three weeks, and it works great.  I am a little tired from it...but it is no big deal."


"Thanks to all for sharing experiences. 20days back I was diagnosed with kidney stone. This will be my second case in the last 3 years. Initially they opted for an ultrasound to check the size, but couldn't find it. A CT scan last week revealed a "5mm nonobstructing caculus" in the right ureter. The pain wasn't much but seeing blood a few days later while under medication got me worried. I have been given Tamasulosin 0.4mg today. Will start taking it by night, as the doc said it may cause a slight drop in blood pressure so make sure you're in a controlled and safe place. Hope it the stone pops out early. I'm not a fan of drugs of any sorts.
Male, 28.."


"I have used NuvaRing for about 3 years.  I LOVE the convenience and the fact that it's a low-dose hormonal contraceptive.  I haven't experienced weight gain, mood fluctuations, or spotting while on it.  However, I've noticed that my sex drive has diminished greatly over the past year or so.  I've had recurrent bacterial vaginosis, which is caused by a change in the balance of the vaginal flora. I've noticed an increase in acne along my jawline around my withdrawal week, and I have a predictable headache during that week as well.  Despite the fact that I'll really miss the convenience of the NuvaRing, I've decided to talk to my gynecologist about trying another contraceptive."


"Severe withdraw pain for fire burns victim over 65 percent 3rd degree burns.R resulting in increase blood pressure and after several hours patient was able to sit up but not without extreme burning feeling as though the fire had just taken place."


"I was suffering from depression and anxiety for as long as I could remember, but never sought treatment. My family has always been against relying on any sort of psychiatric drugs and believe in willpower as a medicine. Eventually, my condition got so bad, that I knew I had to do something about it. Zoloft saved my life! I feel like myself again and my rationality and naturally positive outlook have returned to me. Plus I haven't gained a pound! The only really negative side effect is reduced sex drive. This can also be due to hormonal birth control. I have also had very vivid dreams since going on Zoloft (50mg). That, I'm not complaining about. Amazing medication!"


"I smoked for over 50 years.  Today is my 40th day without smoking.  I can breath better and generally feel better.  The nausea got to me, so the Doctor said cut the pill in half and that worked.  I have no trouble sleeping, but have weird dreams. First, I think you really have to want to stop and get help.  Now I need to just keep going day by day."


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


"After 15 years of cholesterol issues and statin intolerence, I met a great cardiologist after my heart attack and now have 3 stints. She got the insurance to cover the Repatha. I had blood work after 12 weeks. My total cholesterol is cut in half. Triglycerides from 85 to 74, LDL 154 to 55, HDL from 42 to 46. I'm on my 2nd quarter of shots so we'll see where it goes after another 12 weeks."


"I LOVE TENUATE. IT'S A DREAM PILL. Nothing else worked, but this is amazing. I feel SO much better than I have before, and I've been on it for 3 weeks now, and have lost 13 pounds. You just don't think about food as much, and it's amazing how quickly you get full. I can't believe it took me this long to find it."


"Yes this is a great form of torture: After 3 weeks of failed attempts to get an answer, tried waterboarding, electrocution, the works, I used this and got the confession I needed."


"Although this medicine does work as described its response time to panic outbreak is not fast. It takes about 45 minutes for the feeling of dread or mania to subside. To go further the feeling is still there but it blocks the mind from reacting irrationally to the racing thoughts. I gave this medicine an 8 not a 10 because of the reaction time. So far all medications in this class have made me tired. I like this one because I have had no side effects or cross interactions with other medications."


"Love Qysmia, I started this Jan.15 today is Feb 10 I've lost 24 pounds. The only side affect I have is dry mouth. I absolutely have NO appetite. I have to force myself to eat.  Love this pill."


"Im on year 12! Large weight gain. Horrid bone pain...especially bottom long bones in legs and right arm.  Neuropathy.  Weak hands as far as gripping.  Getting up and moving after sitting awhile is not fun.  Headaches. Walk the floors at night, because being up ON  my legs, makes the pain a little better.  I was stage 3c, ER+, scared too death to come off it.  I'm 45 and want to stick around, but wish I didn't feel so crappy."


"Just wanted to share my experience on this drug. Within weeks, my skin went from what I would describe as "nasty as hell" to "clear, with some residual redness". For my skin, it worked wonderfully.
HOWEVER. I am one of the rare few who's depression/anxiety was made 100x worse. Also I gained a dissociative personality, which basically boils down to: I had panic attacks BAD. All of the time. I was also in a constant state of not knowing what was real or not. Moments of not knowing who I was, where I was, having to force myself to ground back into reality because I wasn't sure what was real or not. My doctor never asked if I had mental health problems, and I am now on anti-psychotics."


"So I baught this last week read the reviews and till today am barley trying it..

I feel like it itches a little and stuff but its not bad..  I don't mind it plus I was expecting a lot worse with all these reviews but its not bad a little burning but hey read the box people ! Those are the side effects it means it's working .. This is my first YI and was embarrassed to go to the doctor so baught this.. Pretty satisfied"


"I started with my Saxenda 0.6 injection for the first two (2) weeks and had no side affects at all. Prior to deciding to taking Saxenda, I had did quite amount of research to find out about Physicians in the St, Louis area. the success and side effects. The blogs all talked about the nausea and constipation that was horrible. This was a big delay for me making a decision to try the drug. My obesity is a health factor and can potentially become life  threatening so I weighed the pros and cons and decided that i would try anyway to see if I could weather the side affects. After the first two (2) weeks of injections and NO SIDE AFFECTS, I return to the doctor for a follow-up appointment to find that I had lost 14.5 pounds.  Try it for yourself"


"I've been on Aviane for a month now and have no complaints really. It's been great for regulating my periods and providing protection from pregnancy. My period was normal, and I haven't experienced any major weight gain (gained a 1lb or 2) or loss. My breasts are tender sometimes, and I've experienced some  swelling. But I'm not complaining about the free breast job. The only thing that has been a bit annoying is that my sex drive has increased, and my libido was high enough to start with. Other than that, it's a great contraceptive that I plan on taking it for a while."


"The blue one prescribed to me was 3mg. Swallow as soon as it hits tongue or the taste will haunt you several hours. This pill shuts me down fast and only one was needed but it made my shoulder and elbow joints ache the next day."


"I'm 26 and from Scotland and I was addicted to heroin. Luckily at the age of 17 I was told about Subutex by my councillor. I had been on a methadone prescription but was left without a chemist. So this left me back on heroin. I never liked methadone as it gave me a similar feeling of heroin the drowsiness, brain fog, bad memory, no appetite. My councilor put me on Subutex I was so gratefull she was so lovely about my situation not having a chemist she met me every day to give it at my home. Not sure if she was meant to do that but she showed belief in me. I started of at 16mg and I instantly stopped using. I've been clean for 9 years now. I receive 2mg suboxone & 4x 0.4mg Subutex daily. I hope to tapper off completely."


"I have irregular periods due to the endometriosis. I can bleed for weeks and heavy. My doctor gave me the prescription for medroxyprogesterone a long time ago and it was like a miracle for me. By the third day out of the ten that I had to take it for my long awaited bleeding stopped. I have never encountered any side effects from the medication at all and I have had to take it on many occasions. I am very grateful for the manufacturer of this medicine. I don't know where I would be without it today. So thank you so much."


"First tried Champix about a year ago, pretty weird and vivid dreams for a couple of nights but after that all OK. Tend to take second tablet at lunch or early afternoon to lessen any impact on insomnia. Only stopped initially for a few days but cut down to only 4 or 5. I had smoked around 20 a day for 38 years after starting when 12 years old. I kept taking Champix for the next year paying full price as figured the cut down was worth it even though still smoking - the Champix did not seem to affect me or my desire around those 4 or 5 (but if I had more I felt pretty crook). Finally stopped 18 days ago  and pretty confident that is it. i am back on the second lot of PBS subsidised scripts with about 4 months to go and will see them through."


"Honestly so happy that I was prescribe this!!! Never ever had problems with my skin and then recently I was diagnosed with 'mild acne' and given this .. Absolutely over the moon with how much its cleared up my face and I had results within the first night of using it! Skin is dry in the morning but overall  would definitely recommend this product!!"


"Have had Implanon for 4 months now after ditching the Depo shot. (Made me gain 30lbs in one month. Not joking and I'm a skinny person and made no health changes) So far have lost 10 of those pounds on Implanon. Have not had a period or spotting.
THE PROCEDURE: was easy. The Lidocane stings like burning nettles, the rest was easy. Only had a tiny bruise and a tiny scar from the needle (which looks like a mole honestly).
Side Effects: Only one I've had is achy breasts. Like you don't even want people near them in case they bump into them. All my friends on Implanon have experienced the same thing.
I LOVE Implanon. Won't change birth control ever again!"


"I started Adipex-p on May 10 weighing 292 pounds. It's now May 19 and so far I've lost 9 pounds! I definitely feel like I have more energy and I have more of an endurance when doing cardio. It seems like I'll drop a couple of pounds and then stay level for a couple of days and drop again. So far my only side effect is dry mouth so I'm thirsty all the time. Can't wait to see what the rest of the month brings!

"I had open rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago for a broken nose, 2 weeks after the surgery I developed a sinus infection, my doctor called in levoflaxon 500 mg 1 a day for 10 days. After taking them for 6 days my infection was gone but day 7 when I woke up I could hardly move the pain in my knees and hips was unbearable I hurt so bad, I took day 8 pill before I realized that it was the levoflaxon causing it, the doctor nor pharmacist told me about the side effects except it could cause insomnia and loss of appetite. I threw out the remaining 2 pills, it has been 3 days since I took them and the pain is better but my tendons are very stiff in my legs above my knees I am calling my doctor in the morning. This drug needs to be off the market!"


"This drug might as well be full-blown chemotherapy.  My best friend started taking this and the chronic fatigue and overall depression that he is now battling has kept him from participating in his nightly role as a special forces operative. Otezla has caused him to miss multiple engagements over the past week and I see no signs of this changing.  If this continues, the drug trade in Bolivia will continue to skyrocket, and the flame of democracy will move even closer to being snuffed out. This is how the terrorists win. Thanks Big Pharm."


"Been on Yasmin for 5 years. Always had brain fog. Gained 50lbs. Lost hair. Stressed. Appetite went way up. Recently decided to go off the pill. After period I instantly felt better. Sex drive is coming back. Just feel good. Hope it keeps up but I'm not going back."


"Ineffective. Shouldn't have been prescribed as I am bi polar, diabetic and in dire need of anger management.  I wasn't 100% honest with the doctor. Therefore the drugs prescribed for me, erroneously,were my fault.  Thanks for understanding, "my bad".  :(  :("
