"Had migraines for 7 years. Take Fioricet for pain, which works well, but I wanted to try prevention. My doctor had already tried Gabapentin, Sumatriptan, and Propranolol, all of which had side effects but did nothing for migraines. Next came Topamax. Side effects were: Slight change of taste (sodas tasted flat, bread tasted sweeter), and gradual loss of memory and concentration, such that it was hard to read or study an issue at work and be able to understand it. It did not affect my eating habits or energy levels, did not affect my weight at all. It also did nothing for my migraines. It severely impeded my ability to think and thus my ability to work in the tech field, so I stopped taking it, and my work performance improved drastically."


"(on for 4 months) Worked well so I did not take as much insulin - had one yeast infection that stopped after fluconazole-I did NOT lose weight despite eating better with this. Major side effect of hair loss so I am stopping - my numbers were fine before this and the hair loss (and crappy texture) is so not worth it...doctor never mentioned hair loss as a side effect."


"This medication has changed my life.  I could tell a difference with this medicine within a day or two of taking it.  I can now leave my home and not worry about where the restrooms are located every where I go.  I don't have to worry about having an "accident" on my way to the restroom.  I can sleep all through the night.  Only problem is, yesterday I received a letter from my insurance company stating it is no longer covered under my pharmacy benefit plan.  So I can't afford to continue taking Myrbetriq."


"Today is only my first day, and I have to say I got really angry with something that happened at work and normally I can shrug this off, but it's like I couldn't control it, and was super quite that morning then through the day I felt better. I've had headaches and bad diarrhea. The headache happened before the medicine so I'm not sure it's related and very slight nausea. I'll blog again once a little more time has passed."


"My son suffer from biopolar and really loves his manic episode. It was a constant fight to get him to take his Medication. I was at lost with his violent episodes, No sleeping and all that comes with this condition. When the doctor recommended injection I admit I was scared I saw some bad reviews but
I felt there was no other solution after 3 days he started coming down. It's now been 1 month and all I can say is thank god for this  medication. And thank god it comes in injection. The only side effect at the moment is that he is tired. But next month he will get 300 and then 200.I taught I lost my son for good but this saved my son and our family. Nothing but good review till now. My son is 18 yrs old."


"I took Valium for nearly 20 yrs for anxiety and functioned just great. My Dr retired and I had to find another. He is weening me off, now down to 2.5mg twice a day. I am miserable ! I'm stuck in my home, can't sleep, and my heart and stomach are going wild. I don't know how much more of this I can stand ! I feel I'm going to have a heart attack, I've lost so much weight I look terrible. And my Dr doesn't seem to notice or even care. He says he cannot be writing for it. I am not a dope head. I am a 53 yr old grandma who needs help. My children worry about me all the time. What is a person to do ?? Go to the street ?? I don't know that kinda life and don't want to. I can't afford a psychiatrist, just a Dr that cares !"


"I haven't taken this Rx for long but it definitely is *not* the best option if you have no breakthrough meds. I'm on 30mg which is to last 24 hours. I'd say it does for 18. It's not horrible but I do think people will keep complaining until they are on a higher dose. The oral bioavailability of this drug is actually lower than Norco. I take Norco 10/325 tid and combined with the Hysingla it's not the worse... but I feel little relief during the day. It does however help me a bit at night. I think docs need to give higher doses than what they are of this med because it's a 24 hour med... 30mgs in 24 hours is not a lot. Well, at least I have my Norco 10/325 to help. Also, I think this med would work better if taken twice daily! But not the worst med!"


"Completely changed my life. I was having severe anxiety accompanied with frequent panic attacks and was feeling hopeless about improvement.

First two weeks on Celexa were terrible, but I can't necessary attribute all symptoms as side effects because my anxiety was so bad it could have been that.  I was waking up with night terrors, had extreme fatigue, dizziness, and dissociation. But then at some point I forgot about my anxiety and was living a normal life again.

I started at 10 mg and went to 20 mg before coming back down to 10 mg due to improvement.  After about 6 months I weaned off the drug completely and have only mild anxiety relapses currently."


"I have been on belviq for two weeks and am down seven pounds. I'm excited to see how much I can lose.

I have struggled with weight off and on over the years but I have four kids and have not paid much attention to my own health. The side effects are minimal. I think it is pricey but it works and that makes it worth it."


"Just started belviq 1.5 weeks ago.  No changes for the positive yet.  Never been so exhausted in my life, if the fatigue continues this bad I will stop taking med."


"I have been on Rythmol 425 for 9 months.  It seems to have controlled my atrial fibrillation as I know of only a couple occurrences since I started the Rythmol.  Side effects have diminished but still have bouts of fatigue and constipation.  This medicine seems to be okay but I hate taking something continuously at 51 years old."


"I suffer with Elhers Danlos .  This med Oxycontin has given me back my life.  I take 15mg twice day.  I can't get out of bed without it!"


"I was taking Ambien 15mg for awhile but my body built a tolerance to it.  Over 2 weeks ago my doctor changed my prescription to Lunesta 3mg.  I finally got up the nerve to take it after doing all the research.   This is the first I have taken and I must say the aftertaste after about 5 minutes of taking it is absolutely HORRIBLE.  Even breathing in through my mouth or nose heightens it.  It strongly reminds me of how my mouth would taste after taking chemotherapy for cancer.   It's causing a horrible flashback for me.  This will be the first and last Lunesta I take.  You also can't eat or drink anything as it tastes horrible too.  I guess I will have to go back to Ambien."


"Last night I had severe diarhhea and stomach pain and dizziness, maybe I was dehydrated from the stomach bug so I went to the ER and they said they were going to give me Zofran, which I have a phobia of trying new pills but my stomach hurt so bad, I told the nurse I'd break it in half till I seen how small it was, and she said just let it dissolve on your tongue so I did and it had a strawberry flavor which I told her wow this taste good, and within about 5 minutes my nausea had gotten so much better, even relaxed me a bit, I'm telling you folks if you have the stomach bug or stomach aches, give this a shot I had no side effects at all, maybe a little sleepiness but like others I'll take that over the stomach pain, thanks Zofran."


"I am on my first pack and I have to say I am so happy I changed from Loestrin 24 (I actually still had 7 days left). I have had light spotting for the first few days and that's it. I think really sticking to the same time every day is the key to limiting side effects, like within the hour everyday for real. Some breakouts on my chest and a little on my face but that normally happens anytime. I changed pills. I think I have tried everything that is out there and this is the best."


"This helped me a lot. I have been having severe back and feet pains. Broke both my feet 2 years ago and it helps so much."


"I have had Liletta for over a year, and have had zero complaints. I no longer get a period (they went away around month 11.) I have no pain or discomfort from it, though I did the first 4-5 days after insertion. It has prevented me from pregnancy, it has not made me gain weight or have any other negative affects. My breasts aren't tender because of the hormones, no mood swings, no acne. None of the common complaints of the pill, this is 1000000 times than the Depo Prevera Shot, which I HATED. Don't ever get the shot done, trust me, it's God awful. Liletta definitely beats the pill, too. I will be getting this reinserted after my next pregnancy."


"Took 4 pills at once, doctor said symptoms would go away immediately but I am still experiencing symptoms 1 month later. Symptoms did get mild for a sort week but eventually it got back to being worse."


"I've had orbital implants,kneck surgery, and I am a juvenile diabetic since I was a year old now I'm 50. the pain in my head,kneck, and right arm and the neuropathy in both feet r very very painful. I've been on doxycycline x 6 yrs. it works great but if your treating chronic pain take it when it's time don't wait till pain it at its worse it works consistently better."


"I was getting daily migraines on this drug. Half-way through the course I decided to stop taking my daily dose, after a really awful migraine that I needed to take sumatriptan to clear up.

Another doctor had prescribed me another antibiotic for UTI earlier in the year. I had no problems then."


"Was prescribed Carac for use on arms, chest and face 7 years ago. At that time the cream did smooth my skin. After years of discontinued use, my skin where I applied Carac is horrible."


"I have been on this pill for about 5 months now. I still have a period even though you aren't supposed to get one with this pill. My periods used to be 3-4 days but now they're a long 7-8 days. My periods were regular but now they are irregular. But as for birth control, this works pretty well. I take it every day at the same time and have never missed a pill. I do feel nauseated when I take it without a meal. I've always had hormonal acne but it has not made it any worse. The only con to this pill is that you feel bloated all the time. I've had unprotected sex and protected sex with this pill and have had no babies."


"I have tried this in the past and it works so much better then others I have tried.  Now when I do use it I can eat my lemons LOL"


"First of all, I did not begin taking this or any other antidepressants specifically for depression. I was severely bulimic when I first started taking antidepressants, because it's fair to say that I was also depressed at the time. Prozac and Lexapro both made me incredibly tired so I didn't stick with either of those for longer than a few months. Bupropion is literally my miracle drug. I started taking it in July of 2016 and still take it as of April 2017 and have no plans of stopping. I told my doctor I feel NORMAL. I can focus when I need to, I have zero problems sleeping, I've lost 20 lbs putting me back at my personal ideal body weight (5'3, 120). I honestly don't think I could have recovered from my eating disorder without it."


"I have been taking the doxycycline for about 1 week now consistently and I have seen tremendous change. One thing about is medication is that you must have patience. It will get worse before it gets better! In addition to taking the doxycycline I also used adapalene to control the breakouts that the doxycycline pushes out. This is coming from someone that has dealt with acne for years and has never found anything that works."


"I was given propofol 3 years ago when I had total joint replacement surgery, and it was a very positive experience.  The onset of sedation was almost immediate.  I remember talking to one of the nurses in the operating room, and the next thing I knew I was back in my hospital room feeling awake and as though nothing had happened.  In fact, I kept asking the nurse if she was sure I had already had the surgery.  Another very positive aspect of propofol over other anesthesia was that I didn't need a breathing tube, because I was breathing on my own during the operation.  I plan to request propathol sedation in the future if I should need any other surgery,"


"So I decided to give this birthcontrol a try and absolutely regret my decision. I had absolutely heavy flow whenever my period hit, cramps that made me double over in pain, and it was to the point that I had trouble walking normal due to my period being so heavy. I went back to my old birth control and had no problems like this. It was to the point that I was begged to be changed back to my old birth control."


"Have suffered from leaking all my life which became so much worse as l passed the menopause. Saw consultant for years who then said he could not help me. I was devastated.

Then saw another who gave me several different tablets to use together although that wasn't the norm. Then offered me Botox. It worked beautifully straight away. My whole life changed for the better. Had the treatment twice and then a totally different illness became evident and l had an operation.

Applied to have the Botox again and l am having it for the third time next week. I'm so pleased.

Shame for those it didn't work well for but for me it's a life changer."


"I have been taking Trulicity for 12 weeks and lost 8lbs and my sugars are the lowest they have ever been. I have not had an A1C done since I started this medication but I am sure it has dropped. I do experience some of the side effects such as nausea and tiredness and I have no appetite at all and when I do eat I am full very quickly. I am on the higher dose and I have reduced the amount of Lantus I take by 20units daily. I do experience morning lows a lot more but a glass of OJ helps. I am anxious to see my doctor and get an A1C done."


"My 9 year old has been on 40mg for almost 6 months now. It worked great for the first 4 months, then its effectiveness wore off. He developed a "TIC" about a month and a half ago, and then a month ago he started getting very moody. Its just gotten worse as the time goes on. This is frustrating because we have tried a bunch of medicines and 2 have worked but it seems after 6 months the side effects hit full force."


"I have had GERD and Barrett's esophagus for many years and have been taking 20mg of omeprazole every day in the morning since the drug was approved by the FDA (early 1990's?). It has changed my life by eliminating the constant pain of severe heartburn with little to no side effects (I guess I'm lucky in that respect). My ENT doc says I will need to be on this drug for the rest of my life to ward off the potential of the Barrett's turning into esophageal cancer. Not to mention the comfort I am getting and the food choices I can make that no longer bother me and trigger heartburn."


"After 1 month of using Propecia, I noticed a decrease in the loss of hair after a shower. Now in my 4th month of use, there is a notable difference in the thickness of my hair, and some growth noted!"


"I can only say it will make urination easier but it also will make a satisfying climax with ejaculation a fond distant memory.  IT TAKES A LONG time to wear off so you dont need to take it daily."


"Over priced for what is essentially 4 Advil with a Pepcid."


"I have had minor acne since sophomore year of college (now graduated). I'm afraid my dermatologist has not been good about following up with me long-term, so I've probably been misusing the medication for a while.
It clears up my clogged pores really nicely (yay!) but there are still lots of blackheads and sometimes the clogged pores stay there a long time. I'm a skin picker (bad) so that has aggravated my acne from touching my face and caused some minimal scarring which I can easily cover up with makeup. One of my least favorite things about this medicine is that, although it clears most of my clogged pores, I have noticed an increase in painful cystic acne around hotspots (potentially due to the onset of hormonal acne)."


"I've been on the Nuvaring since about August and I love it!  I'd been on and off the pill for about 4 years and hated it.  I was on it for about a month before switching to the Nuvaring and it was awful.  I got sick everyday and just didn't feel like doing anything.  My doctor suggested Nuvaring and I went for it.  My periods are predictable and so much lighter (I only get it for a couple of days before I put in my new ring).  I haven't had any weight gain, except for my breasts got two sizes bigger.  My acne cleared up, though I do break out when I get my period.  I don't have to worry if I've forgotten to take my pill or if I'm taking it at the same time everyday.  I have my cell alert me when it needs to be taken out and go back in as well."


"I've been taking Adderall for 3 years and have experienced extreme nervousness, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, dizziness etc. Adderall is not for all."


"Thursday started feeling like a cold was coming on, woke up Friday to a horrible headache, lower backache and fever. Felt paralyzed at one point in the worst pain. Went to doctor it was flu and pneumonia. She prescribed Tamiflu explained may be side effects. Well I was desperate. I took it and I didn't feel the best that night just slept but the next day I almost felt totally better! Thank the Lord with prayers and this medicine I am doing much better. Eat with it because it can make you a little nausea. Maybe a little dizzy too but way better than what I was feeling!!!"


"I had dysthymia, low level but nagging depression after dealing with elderly parents, their health and emotional issues, resulting ultimately in moving them out of their home: father into nursing home and mother into assisted living. Watched as father died a slow natural death after years of health problems. Started Viibryd and on day four felt better. When titrating to 40mg felt bad physically in general, so have stayed on 20mg; been there for several weeks. I feel like the old me, not irritable and snappy, especially with my husband.  Feel more positive, confident and outgoing. I will be 57 in a few days. The bad: increased appetite especially for sweets and at night and 10  lb weight gain.
"


"I was concerned because when I take this medicine I have the most bizarre dreams. I mean they are really out there and the funny thing is I remember them, and and go back if I think about them and continue the dream.  To me this would be ok if the dreams were pleasant but they are not always."


"Synthroid seems to work well, but still working to get to the correct dosage.  Currently, my dose is too high and I see my doctor next week to adjust.  Feel fine, but have daily armpit and back sweat. Will be really glad when that stops as it's difficult to work at client sites when your shirt is soaked."


"I have started to take 200 mg in July 2015. I have gained weight to much , nearly 20 kg. I have taken 100 mg in December 2015 and now I have been taking 50 mg. I want to quit Seroquel. Because I feel like zombie . I sleep very well but I can't get up early and I often go to work too late. During the day I feel tired and asleep. For mind and brain is good but damages of Seroquel is more than benefits of it , I think. It does addiction . I want to quit it or I want to take 25 mg any more."


"Currently taking this medication also.  Have told my doctor about side effects. Told me that "I must be taking it at the wrong".  I had to show him issues from manufacture and from pharmacy.  Changed dosages from twice a day to only once, but I have to eat a lot to get rid of the dizziness each morning.  Feel that my issues were caused by drop in glucose levels, but doctor has stated that would not cause this also...."


"I began using Differin after I had an experience with some mild acne. The first two weeks were horrible - my acne went from mild to severe in a matter of days. However, that 's how the medicine works. It pushes the acne out and allows your skin to heal. So even though the first two weeks are hell, it does work. Once the initial breakout clears you're home free."


"My personal experience with suboxone is good so far. I have been on prescribed Fentanyl Patch 25 much/ 48 hrs. I have dropped to this dose over the last year. (I also left the old patch on). I have been on opiates for 12 years full time prescribed. At my highest prescription I was using 180mg of Oxycodone and 180 mg of morphine per day. I have had several adjustments on medicine including extended release doses. 5 years ago I was put on 50 mug of Fanta to with 3-10 mg Oxys per day for breakthrough. I started leaving my old patches on to increase my daily dose. This last year I tapered Down to 25 mcg patches for 48 hours.( still leaving my old patches on.) I went to a doctor that prescribes Suboxone. Lucky for me my insurance pays for Suboxone. He gave me the 8/2 mg strips. I take 1/2 a strip twice a day. I was checking every forum to see how long I needed to wait to start the suboxone. The replies are all very different. Some say 16 hours, most day 24. Others say 48-36-72 hours. Yikes! How do I keep out of precipitated withdrawals! I already have withdrawals every other day on my patch!... so I removed my patch last night around 5 pm. (I already have my suboxone script at home. ) so I started feeling withdrawal symptoms coming on around 11 pm. They didn't get super intense. I checked the cows scale as many articles suggested but only scored mild.. had the stretching of limbs symptom, anxiety.. so I took a half of a strip which was the suggested dose. I took it at 12 noon today. That's only 19-20 hours. I was in withdrawals, but not the worst I have ever had. I was scared of the precipitated withdrawals I heard about. 10-15 minutes after I took it, I felt a hot sensation wash over me. Thought I would get those withdrawals, but I took a quick bath, laid down for an hour and. Is I feel pretty good. Took my withdrawals away. I still have some muscle pain, but not the kind that come from withdrawals. Suboxone stopped the withdrawals right away. No headaches or sick feeling. Not high, but even my regular dose meds haven't made me high for years... so if your guessing on when it's ok to take suboxone after opiates, and fentanyl seems to be the highest strength, then I day shoot for 24 hours. If you are not in withdrawals at 24, then wait until you are.. if you are in withdrawals before 24 hours then just wait as long as you can. You will know when it's too bad to wait anymore. You know your body... you can always take half the amount prescribed and see how it reacts if your are afraid of precipitated withdrawals. Trust me, it will stop the withdrawals within a half hour. I have not gotten the precipices withdrawals so far. Hope this helps someone. Good luck to you!"


"This stuff garbage woke up hyper and shortness breath I thought this med suppose to make me sleep ??? Just horrible med!!! All these side effects listed too be carefull!! I'm better off with my anxiety sleeplessness"


"So me & a friend got really drunk & we ended up having sex, which I only have flashbacks of. He doesn't remember anything so I chose to tell him we didn't do it because I didn't want him to know he was the one who took my virginity. So I took the pill about 40 hours after, I was extremely scared!! Only thinking the worst. Then 7 long days later, I got my period!!! I had really bad cramping. I wanted to share my story because a lot of yours helped me calm my nerves! Xoxo"


"I've been on Tri-Sprintec since I was 16, and I'm almost 21 now.  When I started taking it, the only thing I noticed is that I went from an A to a C cup in bra size.  Lately I've had the most ridiculous PMS and mood swings."


"The idea of this is great. I got mine put in on July 24,14 & taken out Jan 19,15. I get sick with pill birth control & recently moved to Florida so I got it put in. I had no bleeding for 2 months then all of a sudden it never stopped. I was miserable and depressed with always bleeding and never being able to be intimate. I have friends with great experiences but this wasn't the case for me. They put me on birth control pills to help the bleeding it helped until the pills ran out. Ultimately after 2 months of constant bleeding I went in to a different doctor becuase I'm now out of the state I got it put in just for a consultation and she immediately offered to take it out."


"I had this put in a little over a year ago. Wanted something long lasting as I knew I didn't want kids for a while (I was 17) and I can't take pills during Basic Training. No period for a year. A month ago my breasts started swelling up terribly, I gained about 7 lbs, and I become very moody. (Thought I was pregnant) This could be because I just graduated and am training for 5 months very soon, but I think the bar is mainly to blame. My period started yesterday-heavily. I haven't had it for 14 months. I think it's still worth it though (my insurance covers it). No real responsibility and time without the period was nice. "


"I have been on Seasonique since January. I have been spotting and having break through bleeding. I was taken off last week because I have had a period for 10 days now. It's not for everyone."


"I began taking orlistat, Xenical 120mg three times a day with meals for the treatment of obesity. I am 18, female and weighed 21stone 9lbs as of 22/07/13. I have been taking the Xenical for just a week and have experienced very few side effects slightly more gastric distress (flatulence and the occasional oily excrement but that is as a result of my ignorance to food and fat) but I am delighted to find that after only a week I have lost 14pounds and now weigh 20stone 9lbs I appreciate that I am still overweight, but I have lost 1 stone and 9inches in total from various areas of my body and am extraordinarily surprised to find myself revealing in such success. "


"5'8" 220lb female. Currently on day 9 of the 14 day low dose trial. I have lost 5 lbs. so far. I have been doing a low carb diet since I started Qsymia and find I have
very little appetite. I'm comfortable with a protein bar or a piece of cheese or meat for my meals. I drink plenty of water as diet drinks taste flat and extra sweet. I too have no desire for what was my favorite indulgence of a glass or two of wine at night. I read somewhere Qsymia is used to treat alchoholism and I can see why. Today was the first day I felt a bit hungry, so I'm thinking of moving to the next higher dose a few days early. My goal is to lose 60 lbs and lower my extremely high cholesterol so I don't have to go on meds. I also find I have a decent amount of energy."


"Nuvigil make me feel dizzy, tired and lazy. Nuvigil does dull appetite to the point of being forgetful on me, I will go back to Provigil."


"Absolutely terrible. I switched to Brintellix from Lexapro because I was having some unpleasant side effects.  My doctor suggested this medication as it has "no side effects." I've been through several antidepressants, and may I tell you this is by far the worst one. Not only did I have horrific physical side effects such as vomiting after only the second dose of 5mg, but this stuff seemed to screw me up mentally - though that part could have also been due to Lexapro withdrawal. Regardless, Brintellix has made me realize how great Lexapro was. I'll take those side effects any day after this! Would not reccomend Brintellix - be wary of what your doctor tells you and research any medicine before taking it. Back to Lexapro..."


"I went on loestrin a little over two years ago, and I absolutely love it. I take it continuously and skip periods (best decision of my life, and no you don't have to have periods), sometimes I forget to take pills for up to 4 or 5 days in a row and it's like nothing ever happened. No weight gain, didn't positively or negatively effect my acne, only complaint is I'm super dry and have a very low libido. Sex is almost painful. Other than that (pretty big) issue, it's great for me"


"Worst akathesia - anxiety, very hyper, pacing, tachycardia."


"I got the mirena after giving birth about 7 weeks post partum. I bleed terribly almost every day.  Terrible back pains and no energy. Sex went out the window. My doc said to give it three months to regulate but this sucks. I'm bloated all the time and can't loose any weight. So far I'm thinking its not worth it. Obviously, its doing its job but this is not fun and its ruining my sex life !!  Also been getting headaches that won't go away."


"I could only stick with this for like two weeks,  although I didn't spot or when I was on it I've been bleeding for 6 days since stopping it, never bled that long in my life. Within the first four days I gained 3.5 lbs and my boobs shrank a cup size (?????) despite doing insanity workouts every day. I started to get red bumps like hives on my stomach and then when 4 cyst like pimples started on my  face simultaneously, I knew this was not going to work for me. Evidently, this is a very androgenic progestin pill. Yes, im taking this to prevent pregnancy but not willing to turn into a man to do so."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I've suffered from headaches since elementary school. Somewhat pinpointed it to sinus/allergies about 15 yrs ago since combination of Sudafed and ibuprofen was pretty effective. Take allergy shots, Allegra , Nasonex and still get the headaches unless Sudafed and ibuprofen is taken. My allergist sent me to a neurologist and prescribed Midrin. So far I like it. Took 2 at onset of headache as prescribed and it worked within 45 minutes. Felt a little weird from it. So now I just take one and it works really well all day if not longer. It actually seems to help my eyesight a little and my focus. I was also prescribed a sleep aid but haven't taken any since I really don't have trouble sleeping."


"I started Enbrel for AS 19 months ago. I had been diagnosed 46 years ago and had been taking Indocid SR and then when they stopped making the SR version switched to Voltaren. Even taking these potent drugs I was still with pain and problems as they only masked the symptoms. Within 6 hours of my first shot I was pain free and within 2 weeks was playing tennis again. I must say though that I do get sharp pains in my feet occasionally and I have put on about 20 lbs . all on the lower belly which my rheumatologist told me was a possible side affect. Another thing is my finger joints feel weaker and am having a bit of insomnia. But being pain free has helped my quality of life. I joined of a study group on it and share indo with others in it."


"Horrible experience. Couldn't differ between dreams and actuality. Unfortunately lost custody of my child while on this medication because the paternal grandparents convinced me to sign "insurance papers" which were actually custody papers. They knew what my mental state was at the time due to Celexa. I was very easily agitated and very delusional. At one point I thought my daughter had turned into a puppy. Another point, I thought I took a trip that was about an hour away and got back home within 5 minutes with no recollection of the trip back. These were actually dreams that I thought was happening in reality. I was in such a horrible mental state that I couldn't even tell that I wasn't myself, that I was delusional,  or irrational."


"I was diagnosed with clinical depression over 13 years ago. I took Paxil for 1 year and swore I would never take another depression medicine. After some extreme and consistent stress in 2010, I talked to my MD and he suggested that my depression would not just go away on its own. After explaining my drug experiences he prescribed Lexapro and I took it for about 3 months. It was wonderful except that it just stopped working, I had gained 10 lbs and the sexual side effects were terrible. He changed me to Pristiq, which I have been taking for 16 days now. I never had nausea or dizziness. I feel less hungry than I did on Lexapro and there are no sexual side effects. At first I felt a bit spacey but now I have more energy."


"Lowered levels immediately"


"I did not develop RLS until my early 70's. Began with  0.5mg Mirapex once daily, went to twice daily,(same dosage) then finally to 1mg twice daily, been on it for a year now and is working fine. Tell ya what though DON'T let your script run out and have to wait. You won't like it! It's like going off something "cold turkey".  I did once and had to wait for 4 days.  Very unpleasant experience. "


"Narcan has saved my life twice in the ER. Every day I rose above the misery of addiction."


"It'd be nice if we didn't all have to explain to our small children what Viagra is every 10 minutes when watching t.v. DIY channel, sports channel, home improvements channel. Ffs can't you limit it until AFTER 9pm"


"I have to be in bed by 8 pm to get a full nights sleep for work early the next morning.  I've never been able to fall asleep that early on my own, but Lunesta has been awesome.  It does not make me sleepy, but 15 minutes after taking it I lay down and just go to sleep.  At first I found I would wake up 4 or 5 hours later, but my doctor recommended taking melatonin with Lunesta.  Doing this (I take the 10mg time release melatonin) I sleep all night, easily wake up with the alarm clock, have no bad taste in my mouth, and am not groggy at all.  I do not take it on nights where I do not have to get up early the next day."


"Works very well."


"I’ve been taking Yasmin for 6 years now and have had no issues! I switched to a cheaper brand that was similar to Yasmin for a couple months and I started to get multiple bladder infections so I switched back to Yasmin. Still no problems other than decreased libido."


"I haven't smoked a cigarette in 10 days. I quit on my 7th day of taking chantix. On the 8th day, I woke up and did my normal routine then thought I need to smoke. However, it passed quickly and I didn't crave one. I kept one cigarette accessible in case I freaked out but threw it out 2 days ago. :) It has been 10 days and I'm fine! I smoked for 15 years. In the end, I was a "light smoker" about 5/6 a day but in 10 days I've saved my body from 60 cigs! The side effects are feeling foggy, thirsty, dreams and must eat before pill. It's all worth it to me. It keeps you calm and not craving. It has worked."


"Pills are very small and easy to swallow. I have no side effects from this medication. I use it to prevent serious urinary tract and bladder infections. I take it after sexual intercourse and it does prevent UTI's for me. I wouldn't want to live without this medication."


"I started taking phentermine on February 14, 2014, Since then I have lost at least fifteen pounds and it has not even been a whole month yet, this is awesome, I work night shift so it keeps me up all night and gives me plenty of energy, I hardly ever get a chance to work out because I have three children that crave a lot of attention, this stuff is the best thing since sliced bread! I don't think about eating, I will force myself to eat a little bit of something healthy every few hours, the side effects were scarey the first two days but after that my body pretty much got used to them. Anyone looking to lose weight this is most definitely a jump start way!"


"Suprep prescribed in preparation for colonoscopy.  As a laxative it's highly effective.  I threw up most of it, but what ever got left starts working within 15 minutes.  On recommendation I did chill it.  The taste is vile and gag reflex kicks in.  Then massive headache and chills.  Spoke to the doctor.  He recommended drinking second dose slowly.  That helped to keep it down, but headache/chills is worse and nausea kicked it.

I envy those who do not have these side-effects. "


"Have been on intuniv for about a month now. I feel like I have been crawling out of my skin and emotionally very upset. I feel at times I could break down in tears over a commercial, or when my kids hug me and tell me they love me. I am normally a emotionally reserved man and keep them in check because of my line of work. I really do feel like I am going nuts on this medication. I have officially stopped taking the medication until I can talk with my doctor."


"Day 5 and I'm amazed already, the depression and anxiety has been wiped away with 30mg. By far the best antidepressant I've tried in the last 2 years. Feel so much better, better mood, less irritable and more energetic. Wonder drug for me. I'd highly recommend trying it, no side effects just a slight occasional headache but otherwise no complaints here."


"Very good for depression."


"Tried everything, been on Protonix for 5 years. I can now eat anything as spicy and as hot as I like, and do not have acid reflux."


"As far as I am concerned,  this is a miracle drug.  I had a boil that wouldn't go away.  I tried soaking, tea tree oil and a lot of other homeopathic remedies.  The boil persisted for 3 months.  75$ for an urgent care visit, $4.00 for a 10 day prescription for it...4 days later, it's gone!  Yes, a little nausea at first...ALWAYS take it on a full stomach."


"I'm on my second week of using the clonidine patch for the terrible flushes and night sweats. What a difference!  Yes I still have 2 or 3 during the day , maybe 2 at night . Nothing like I was having so it's a great relief. I am having headaches but I think I can deal with them rather than sweating  profusely and no sleep."


"Was working fine until I started getting racing suicidal thoughts out of the blue. Switched to a sleeping aid and it seemed to work just as fine and was a lot cheaper."


"I have been on this BC a little over 4 months.. the pill made me completely insane. So I switched.. it didn't have hormones in it and I don't want kids for a while if really at all,I'm uncertain, FIRST month- great no symptoms nothing. SECOND- was bleeding every so often, hairloss, appetite change, hardly any sex drive, moodiness. And had heavy chest and heart issues (still unknown at the moment) THIRD- bleeding got worse. Would bleed for a week, stop for 1 day or 2, then start again and it's been like this since, very dark blood but very light but it's more than spotting. NOW - I'm very irritable, still losing hair, losing weight, no sex drive, can't sleep much at all, basically losing faith! No sex really bothers me!!"


"On week 3 and a half.  Have learned most my 'side effects' are from being hungry from forgetting to eat, caffeine withdrawal from no longer needing 6  cups a day for a bit of energy.  Now, I eat small amounts of healthy foods that taste so good to me and dont make me feel sick.  Foods I used to eat now make me nauseous.  I have plenty of energy. Small amounts now give a full feeling.  I enjoy slow eating now and all the tastes.  I got dry mouth at first but now don't as I drink water like everyone says you should.  Only now I enjoy it.  I was irritable the first two weeks but think that was the caffeine withdrawal.  No longer need a secret sugar or pasta fix either.  Lost 12 pounds first two weeks.  Each day losing 1-3 pounds."


"Had my first seizure this year, put on Keppra a month later. Stopped the seizures, but makes me sleepy all the time. I have mood swings, depression, irritable and get frustrated easily. Tried to talk to my neurologist, but was told the only side effect Keppra has is being tired. Too scared to ask if I could try anything else because this is supposed to be the safest drug available."


"I am 38 years old with two kids ages 9 and 11.  I had my Mirena placed one week ago and so far have had no side effects at all.  I had been taking Seasonale birth control pills without a break after the third month and not having a period for the past 4 years.  I am in the military and deploying without having to worry about taking along 6 months worth of birth control and menstruation products is a HUGE relief.  I had some cramping after the insertion but took two OTC pain relievers and haven't felt anything since.  I've run miles with it in, I've done push-ups and sit-ups and not felt a thing.  For me this has been a completely great experience and my husband hasn't noticed any difference when we have intercourse."


"Listen, I had sex on 01/08/16 and the condom came off when he withdrew. It was every where. I took Plan B about 13 hours later. I got every side effect ever. Nausea, bloating, VERY TIRED, headache, lower back pain and CRAMPS!!! Lots of cramps!!! I will not tell you to relax because I couldn't relax AT ALL for two weeks. I had no sign of a period at all for over a week and a half. I woke up everyday freaking out! Yesterday I got spotting and then my mind raced and I googled everything! Today AF came. 12 days after plan b and 1 week late on period. It absolutely messes with your hormones and you will be hyper sensitive to every side effect you get and I KNOW you will think your pregnant as soon as you feel a sign but it is the hormones."


"I LOVE the patch. I used to use  BCP but the thought of swallowing a pill everyday yearly made me feel literally nauseous when I took it...to the point I stopped and used condoms only. Needless to say, I have a beautiful 1.5yr old :-) after him I wanted to wait for another. Mind you before having him my periods were "normal." After having him, my period was EXTREMELY heavy lasting 5 to 7 days. I was going through 3 and 4 super pads WITH super tampons. I used with it each day until the last day. It was horrible! That lasted for a year because I breastfed. I got on the patch and I never thought I'd say my period is pleasant but I call it "cute and petite" no cramps. This is my 3rd of 4th month I love it"


"My PSA went from 1.2 to 5.4, but after taking FLOMAX for over a month, my PSA is back down to 2.0. It definitely eased the difficulty in urination, and most nights, I don't have to get up. I have noticed my urine is very dark and stron-smelling first thing in the morning."


"It takes about 2 weeks to feel Wellbutrin kick in and about a month for it to be full effect. I am on 300 mg a day and take it in the morning only. If you take it too late it will keep you awake. I am on other med for Bipolar that cause weight gain, but this med seems to be the opposite and has actually helped me lose weight. Sometimes the med "runs out" in the afternoon and you can kind of feel the let down. It works great for depression and would be good if used by itself for weight loss. Would recommend using it, but you have to be patient with it."


"I have only been taking gabapentin for a couple of months - fibromyalgia pain has gone from intense, sharp shooting pains to dull muscular aches in same locations the sharp shooting pains always occurred. This is somewhat bearable. What I find great is the energy and ability to do things I haven't been able to do since 1998 when I was first diagnosed. It has also helped a little bit with hot flashes and stress incontinence."


"I am very pleased with Hydroxyzine. It is non-addictive & it always helps with my panic attacks & anxiety. It doesn't always get rid my anxiety completely, but it definitely takes the edge off of it, which is enough to help me function. The only side effect I sometimes get is dry mouth, so make sure to drink plenty of water if that happens to you. Biotene mouthwash also helps with that. Hydroxyzine can make you sleepy, so don't try to drive or do anything productive, until you see how it affects you."


"I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in 2010 and was started on depakote, after gaining 40 lbs and still having seizures on that medication, my doc switched me to Keppra XR, initially I started out on 500mg once a day and was feeling a little drowsy but ok, I was still having muscle jerks so she upped the dose to 1500mg once a day and started having severe fatigue, as a college student this was affecting my studies severely. Now, on the same dosage for 3 years, I have memory loss, severe exhaustion and fatigue, headaches and dizziness every day and my school work is being negatively affected. My doc refuses to change my medication since I haven't had a seizure while on keppra XR."


"I have suffered from panic disorders for eight years. I have taken everything there is and nothing has seemed to work. Zoloft helped take the edge off but it gave me sexual side effects and kind of made me numb. Pristiq is the best thing ever. I noticed almost immediately that it was working. The first week was rough and I felt a little more anxious. The only side effects I have are like at night I sometimes see halos around lights and I urinate a lot more often. But I feel great I have only had two panic attacks compared to having one everyday. I have only been taking Pristiq for a month. Thank you to the makers of Wyeth I have my life back."


"I had the implanon for 3 years before getting Nexplanon. The doctors told me Nexplanon was the same as implanon, but it's definitely not. On implanon, I gained some weight over the 3 years (probably 15 lbs) but I was able to lose it with exercise. The Nexplanon is terrible. I've gained probably 30 lbs since I had it put in in January 2014. I'm moody and have no sex drive. I exercise regularly and eat fairly well. I keep gaining weight and I hate it. I love the convenience of this birth control but I can't handle the side effects. I'm giving it 3 more months to see if my body can adjust to it but if not.....I'm done. Whatever they changed from implanon to Nexplanon was a terrible decision."


"I'm from the uk and Zovirax cost £6 which is probably $9 for a small little tube, it's rubbish, felt tingle so went straight to the shop and bought Zovirax, been applying it every 4-5 hours, 3 days later and the cold sore has blistered at side of my mouth,  would of been better using tcp, it burns a bit but it does the job"


"I tried a couple of other medicines (Buspar, Paxil) before this and neither of them worked for me.  After only a few weeks on this I noticed a difference.  I didn't feel so anxious anymore.  This medicine along with Xanax has made me feel back to normal again.  I also had counseling to work through my problems.  "


"I had Hep C Genotype 1a for around 40 years . I believe I picked it up in the 70s. I found out about it early 90s . I was tired and grumpy and had to push myself past exhaustion often. From then on I determined not to let it get me down, and to exercise, not drink alcohol, and do all I could to remain healthy. When Harvoni became available it was like a huge blessing, I was so grateful for the chance to get rid of HepC. I realised what a priceless  gift I was being given, went to bed by 9 pm every night, exercised and did all I could to help it work. I did not experience side effects, except of a positive nature. Thank you Harvoni, I am cured. Yay!!!"


"Have been using off and on for years for chronic migraine/tension headache condition. This drug has almost always given me relief from my chronic severe headache pain. I have tried a litany of prescriptions for my headache issue...maxalt...all in that family ...

Too many to list including narcotics when severe enough. The fioricet is my steady loyal remedy in most cases. I personally haven't dealt with any negative side effects."


"When I used the lotion I found that it did get rid of a few pimples. It definitely does not get rid of any redness whatsoever. Even though it's the same thing, I find the lotion to be more effective than the cream."


"I got Skyla inserted almost a month ago. My cramps and lower back pain were bad for a few days, and 1600 mg ibuprofen daily didn't help much. (My periods are usually heavy and painful; I had vaginal delivery without anesthesia. The pain from the Skyla could be compared to my worst period cramping.) By the end of the first week they became tolerable, but I was still spotting. There were 2 or 3 days when I didn't spot, then I started having bad cramps again + spotting, and a long and painful period followed that was a little lighter than usual.
Well, I'm still spotting/bleeding and having cramps and obviously not pregnant because I have no mood when I'm in constant pain.
I'm willing to give this method another 2 months..."


"This pill has its upsides and downsides. I suffer from chronic severe migraines possibly hormone related and although in the beginning they got a lot worse, after one year on the pill my migraines have reduced to almost non-existent. I also suffer from PCOS and saw dramatic improvement with my periods. They became lighter and always on their time, whereas before the pill I used to bleed 2-3 times per month. However, this pill is not a panacea and it is definitely not harmless. My libido has reduced, I  too experience the occasional paranoia and extreme irritability, my cholesterol and triglycerides have risen although I follow a balanced diet and exercise but I did not gain any weight. All in all this pill works but needs a lot of patience."


"I am 227 lbs and 5'3". I started taking the Adipex 37.5 today (11-18-16) at 7:30 am. I could tell that I took it because I was very talkative, and not energetic as in bouncing off the walls or nothing, but more like I actually had the energy to do my work and I was really focused on it. Done more today at work than I done all week. Only thing I have a problem with is when I ate it felt like I slowed down, and all my energy was gone. Maybe it want be like this the whole time. I will keep ya'll updated on my progress."


"I started Copaxone a couple of months after being diagnosed. At the time of diagnosis I was just getting over a relapse that included numbness on my left side and a phantom turtle-neck feeling. I haven't had any symptoms since then and that was November 2011. I'm pleased with Copaxone this far."


"I have been on the shot for 1 year. I have not had any trouble with acne or weight gain. My sex drive is just as high as usual. I have been depressed but depression has been a life long battle for me. The only real con I can think of is that for the first 3-5 days after I get the shot I am a crazy person. The mood swings are 100 times worse then PMS after those first few days. The rest of my three months are normal. Just hoping for the best with my bones."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"For some stupid reason I drank a half a bottle of Mt Dew before I realized the time had come for me to drink my first dose of the Suprep. I was already feeling full from Mt Dew and a cup of chicken broth. It was very difficult to chug it down. I am not a fan of Gatorade and this was like Gatorade on steroids. I got through it. Drank my first big gulp of Suprep at 2:15 p.m. tried to drink some more water but felt like I would vomit so I started sipping the extra water they tell you to drink. Half way through the first 16 oz and about 45 minutes into my anticipation, I had a mild twinge, was outside and had to cut my husband short. Barely made it to the can and here I sit my with laptop just like everyone else said. Use some A&D as advised!"


"After looking at all birth control I decided to go with the patch since it had the least side effects. This is my first birth control ever and I was worried how I would feel. I read the reviews on here and was expecting a horrible headache the first day I put it on but I didn't feel any different at all. It's still my first week but so far, everything is great! I forget it's even on me and my sex drive is still beyond great!"


"I've been taking aubra for about 6-7 months now, and I have had no major side effects, the only thing I can really complain about is before when I got my period I  would never get cramps, now when I do have it I get cramps but they are very minor. I had little to no acne before taking it, and I have noticed I only get a few pimples here and there, my sex drive has not changed at all still pretty good. Mood swings are a bit of a problem to where I will get upset with my boyfriend for not replying in a timely matter, over dumb stuff I get upset. And no weight gain at all.  But other than that aubra has gotten me on a regular monthly period before I only had it once maybe 3 times a year."


"No problems and is helping my anxiety!"


"I have been taking Provigil 3 x 200mg tabs in the morning. It works but not great. I would be sitting at my desk and do "head bobs".  This is not acceptable to me.   My doctor suggested I try Nuvigil.  I started taking it last week.  I took one 250mg in the morning.   It is a sleeping pill to me.  This week has been the longest week for me.  I am fighting to stay away at work. I am interested to see if other have this same reaction to Nuvigil."


"Fluconazole cured my toenail fungus in 6 months. I am very grateful!"


"I was prescribed 1 gram (2 extra strength) by mouth every 4-6 hours for a severe tooth problem, cracked tooth in half, until I see my dentist on Friday. (It's Tuesday.) Does absolutely nothing for the pain. "


"My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with the flu (H1N1, but they did not verify officially due to the number of cases in the area) and went from a fever of 104F, chills, body aches, sore throat, etc to almost completely back to normal with no sign of fever after 2 doses (24 hours). She has had no ill side effects and I couldn't be more relieved to see her healthy again. I highly recommend this medication!"


"No side effects."


"This was the worst pill I've ever been on. I had been happily taking another pill for almost a year with no side effects, and it then got discontinued so I had to go on Larin for a month. I was having migraines with aura, anxiety, I bled for 17 days (when I normally don't have a period except for every 3 months), and had nipple discharge, as well as spontaneous nosebleeds. I felt terrible on this pill, I do not recommend."


"Day 4. No side effects and no reduction in cravings."


"I have mainly been given this medication for insomnia, and for several years it worked incredibly to help me sleep every night, the withdrawals are rough when I don't have it, and my insomnia get's really bad as well. I think it helped my anxiety depression some too. All of a sudden at 200mg it stopped working! Was very bummed out, but luckily doctor has found a replacement."


"I did not like this product at all. The main reason I have difficulty getting any drops to even come out of the tubes. No matter how hard I squeezed no drops even though it showed liquid in the bottom. Yes of course I twisted the top off. At least one whole package was this way. Others was barely enough to get a drop in one eye let alone both eyes. Very frustrating and too expensive for me to ever order any more. I went back to my old drops which I never had any problems with. I am very dissatisfied with this product. I would like my money back although I doubt that will happen."


"My prep time started at 6PM, I kept it very simple, added cold water to the prep and before drinking it I had huge spoon fulls of Italian Ice lemon flavor and then just gulped it while holding my nose.  It wasn't that bad! drinking the water was a breeze, I typically drink about 8 bottles a day so used it. What followed wasn't that great though.  I had some bad cramping and then the bathroom trips started, as others have put it, it is like urinating out of your butt.  The morning of my prep it was a whole different story, maybe it was the not eating all day, sleepless night but I had a hard time with it, definitely not as easy as the evening before. Now hoping for a clean scope."


"I have been using Tri-Sprintec for a few months, before that I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I used Ortho for a few years but had to change due to switching insurance companies. I was a little bit hesitant to use Tri-Sprintec at first due to the previous reviews that I read about. My experience has been very good. I haven't had any break outs, weight gain or emotional problems. I have had an increase in breast size and tenderness but the tenderness wasn't too uncomfortable. Usually when I switch birth control, I have a cycle for at least a month and a half but not this time around. I had no break through bleeding. I have had light and regular cycles, which is the purpose of me being on birth control. I would definitely recommend Tri-Sprinte"


"Have had a sinus infection for 11 months... tried all types of antibiotics and they would help a little but right back to same stuff. Major congestion, Hard phlegm, trouble breathing, etc. Took azithromycin day 1 was able to breathe thru nose again. loosened up all mucus.  Day 2 felt like a new person."


"I've been using pentasa 2 times a day a total of 4 pills it definitely helps! Sometimes I get headaches and feel sick sometimes and occasionally get pain and for some reason ever since I started taking them I get these weird skin patches"


"I cannot believe how amazing this medicine has been for my cystic acne. I have tried monocycline, doxycycline, prescription topical creams, NOTHING worked. I finally decided to ask my doctor about Bactrim. I have been completely cyst free since October. This is a record amount of time for me to have NO cysts! I have had, maybe three pimples. I've had no side effects. The monocycline gave me horrible joint aches (to the point where I'd almost cry they hurt so bad). So far I have had absolutely NO side effects. It's wonderful!"


"My doctor put me on lo loestrin fe for my endometriosis. It worked for the heavy bleeding and the pain. I also gained some weight - 10 pounds in 3mths of using it which I don't mind because I was underweight to begin with. I only have very light periods. I have also noticed a change in mood- I had terrible pms mood swings and depression and now that's all gone. I'm in a stable mood all month long. However, as soon as I started taking it my face broke out in cystic acne the worst ever. It's getting worse every day and I can't keep taking this drug. My face is covered in dark marks and painful volcano like zits. It's also so oily. I also grew two spiky long chin hairs."


"I had unrefreshing sleep, and needed a lot of it. Endep is awesome as can now get a good night sleep, feel refreshed for a few hours after waking, and decreases my body aches. No negative side effects for me luckily."


"I am 31 and struggled with acne in my teen years and got a few glorious years in my 20's of Ok skin, occasional acne but nothing serious. As soon as I turned 30 boom! I went back and forth with birth control to help control hormones, sometimes it helped and sometimes it didn't. So I finally stayed off of the birth control and my skin went crazy. It got to the point where I was embarrassed to go out on the weekends. I know its superficial but who wants to be the "pretty girl" with bad skin. Literally within a weekof starting this the huge cysts that took over my chin were shrunken down. I am now on week two and have only very light acne remaining. I have combo skin and it has helped control oil. But use a very good moisturizer peeling will occur but worth it"


"I was prescribed Levaquin for acute bacterial sinusitis after going to my GP for a congested nose, sinus pressure and bad headaches and fatigue which lasted 7 days. He said this should clear it right up...After reading all the warning I was hesitant with my pharmacist but they assured me it's a normal antibiotic, nothing too strong as since I'm allergic to penicilin it's a great alternative. The horror began immediately on day one, the skin on my left arm shoulder area began to burn so badly, and my arm started to get numb, even my pinky finger I couldn't move. I obviously freaked out and called the doc, he said I'm having an allergic reaction to it, not to worry it won't cause any nerve damage. Switched to Zithromax, much better & safer :("


"My husband has RA.    His doctor sent him to the Indiana Heart Clinic to ensure he had no heart issues before they put him on it.   In November 2012 Dr Daly released Tony saying he had NO heart issues so he started Emprel.     In January 2013 Tony had a sizable aneurism on his aorta so he underwent heart surgery.    In April due to infections he had a 14 Hour surgery to redo all he had done in January.    He died on Mothers Day may 12, 2013 of infection.     I'm saying that he had a good heart yet two month s after taking Emprel he doesn't.     What are the odds?    I would not recommend it.   Just in case."


"I am 4 1/2 years post liver transplant. Take 2mg 2 x daily since initial year.  Not aware of any particular side effects.  Have had no incidence of rejection as far as I know.  Overall, drug appears to do what it is supposed to do, thankfully."


"After battling insurance to finally cover this med, I can't say the improvements in depression are worth the 1,000 price tag. After trying numerous medications for over 17 years to help with depression, I was really hoping for more. I would say that as an add on to Prozac, it is only somewhat effective. At first I was pleased by the lack of noticeable side effects compared to other antipsychotics. It didn't make me groggy during the day, nor did I experience any muscle twitches. However, at about the third month on 20 mg, I began getting severe akathesia shortly after ingesting. It manifested with inner restlessness (not normal for me), anxiety, and inability to stop moving. For me, this has gotten so unpleasant that I've decided to stop it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"The best way to drink this is put it in a blender and get it all foamy. It goes down much easier and alot of the bad taste is eliminated. Had many colonoscopys  and finally figured out the best way to get this into me."


"I had constant diarrhea, 3-4 times a day. I had a loss of appetite and had gotten to the point that I couldn't stand to even think about food. Thinking about what to eat or cook for my family actually caused anxiety. I lost 10 lbs in 9 nine days. About the 5th or 6th day I started to be unable to sleep during the night. I woke up every hour. During the day I would have waves of nervous energy, almost like the feeling you get when you experience the fight or flight response. The last day I took it I woke up at 4 am with diarrhea, left sided abdominal pain that radiated to my back and shoulder, and heart palpitations. A trip to the ER revealed that I had a large amount of stool and gas in my colon. I had a miserable experience with Wellbutrin"


"Taking 20mg. Thought it was starting to help at about the 2nd to 3rd week but now my anxiety is back. Also have faintness daily. Don't know if it is from the Paxil or the anxiety but it started the same time I started the Paxil."


"Rating it as a 3 only because it kept me from getting pregnant and didn't make me moody or depressed like the NuvaRing did. Lets just start off saying that I made the switch from the NuvaRing to LoLo because the doctor recommended it because of the lower dose of hormones. The NuvaRing was great for my skin and regulating and shortening my periods but oh my god did it ever mess me up mentally. I was tired all the time, so moody and depressed, made me feel suicidal and unhappy all the time so thats why I switched. LoLo made my clear skin break out in cystic acne, made me have little sex drive, made me lose a tremendous amount of hair, and totally messed up my periods and made me spot throughout the whole month. I do not recommend LoLo"


"In the sea of negative reviews which I read before starting Paxil, I saw few positive ones even though I know that there are many, many people for whom this drug has worked wonders.  I am one of those people.  Diagnosed with severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder, my doctor started me on 10mg/day and despite minor, minor nausea for the initial 2 weeks, I have not had side effects.  My anxiety and depression were vastly improved within that 2-4 week window and I began to feel like my old self.  I have experienced no discernible effects on my sex drive,  which is a big negative side effect for many reviewers.  This drug seems to have been tailor-made for me, I am thankful for its availability, and hope this review helps someone!"


"250lbs, 6'2, male.. Am taking 5mg Lexapro for about a week, and either it is this or the Lamictal (100mg), but I've experienced reduced anxiety, I was wondering if it just reduces the Anxiety or also reduces the symptoms because I still get pounding  and increased heart beat, my blood pressure is usually 20 points high, I take Lisinopril and used to get 120/80 , now I get 140/80 with the lisinopril, Lexapro and Lamictal. Other things I've heard is if you go off Lamictal cold turkey, you'll get seizures. I'm staying on 5mg, I figure if the dose is upped, it overloads the system and is maybe what leads to tolerance, so I'm staying with a small dose until I feel ready to up it."


"So I got warts near my genitals from my husband's knee! Don't ask! I grind on him everywhere and after 8 years of marriage this is what I get.  This is the most bogus BS EVER.  And imiquimod hasn't done squat for it after using it for a week and a half! I was using it every other day, now every day just to see if this crap does ANYTHING.  The only thing I HAVE noticed is my arthritis has kicked into high gear so this has been fun.  NOT."


"Luvox made my teeth hurt.  Absolutely no effect on my mood. "


"I have been on Visitril for a little over a week now and I have to say that it has been an overall therapeutic and positive experience. I was on Lexapro (escitolopram) for almost 3 months and found that the medicine would make me pretty anxious though did level me out during a very rocky time in my life . I chose to start taking Visitril since the lexapro wasn't effective in ways I wanted and now on 50mg to 100 mg a day, I can say that it is easier to be focused on things that I really care about and I can usually notice the subtle change in my body when it stops working (in my stomach primarily) and I'll pop another one and will stay pretty level as long as it is in my system."


"Lower blood pressure and improved cardiovascular health with no side effects at all."


"Absolutely stomps nausea.  I took this pill during a bout of gastroenteritis when I felt nausea coming on.  It took effect just as the nausea was about to cause vomiting, and turned it off like a switch.  Best anti-nausea medicine EVER."


Conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone

"Has not worked one bit still have day and night sweats occurring every hour"


"Minimal positive effects.  Did have less weight gain on this then amitriptyline.  Not a miracle by any means.  Did experience negative emotional effects on this medication."


"Immediate difference after the first shot - what a relief!  Subtle differences after shots 2 and 3.  Got my 6 month booster and was relatively pain free for 1 full year.  Doctor said I was a good candidate for Euflexxa because the arthritic damage was not too severe yet.  Time to get another booster."


"Its essential! As a doctor I know, You cannot withdraw from alcohol safely without it. It can and should be prescribed for use in domestic detox (UK regulations). A colleague prescribed this for me when I my symptoms worsened an I went home and spent four days thinking about my life. This medicine will save lives during detox, but you have to make it on your own from there. Plan your detox! Buy the right fresh food and vegetables. Take Vitamin B supplements to protect the brain. Tell the people you love about your problem, get them involved, stay away from other alcohol users and alcohol. One day at a time! I wrote in my bed room ceiling as many reasons to not drink as I could think of and that is still the first thing I see when I wake up."


"I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and narcolepsy 15 years ago, I have been on every formulation of Ritilan there is, but Adderall XR works the best for me."


"Just got the ParaGard inserted. For the insertion pain was minimal make sure you take a pill before you go. I was directed I would have light cramping and spotting for a few days after but I'm already on my period so no big deal and I don't feel any cramps yet will update you on how it goes."


"I experienced increasing endometriosis pain for 4 years which culminated in two months of extreme continuous pain.  I was reluctant to try anything that changed my hormones due to negative experiences with birth control in the past.  I was given Low-Ogestrel when I went into the ER for the endometrial pain.  I took it that night and woke up pain free the next day!  This one tiny pill gave me my life back.  I was astounded.  I had slight nausea for the first few days but that subsided and I have experienced no other side effects."


"I take it around 10 pm and I don't sleep till around 4 pm"


"I really love this birth control. I have only had it for a month. 9-24-11 But its the best method I've tried and I have tried about everything. I have NO side effects, and I have two kids so I need something that will last a while and I really love it. I would recommend this to anyone... who don't want any kids for a while and if you cannot remember your Pills."


"It works really well however you have to know that you are substituing one benzodiazepine for another. Please take your time with this medication. Taper off the medication as prescribed by your doctor. You do not want to become dependent on another benzodiazepine. Good luck!"


"This medicine has saved my husbands life! He went in to heart failure & had a EF of 10% in 2011. With 16 days hospitalization & discharged with this medication and a few more he has thrived and continues to do well today."


"Like others have reported, worked first couple of days, then not so much. However, with some tweaking, for me, I now take it at least one hour (not 1/2 hour as directed) before I eat in the morning and works every time! Literally, before Linzess, would not have a BM without a laxative for 2 weeks. So, Linzess is a miracle drug for me!"


"I have chronic pain from a accident and have had a lot of surgeries and Ultram has been a big help with keep the pain bearable!"


"Started on Effexor. Lost my mind. Was put on Celexa (20mg) and lived my life. Things were okay. I had anxiety still, but it was controlled. Didn't care much about anything. But my anxiety was controlled. That went on for 2 years.

Just over a month ago, I saw a new doctor (insurance changed and previous doctor didn't accept it). She pushed me to try Paxil. I replaced my 20mg of Celexa with 10mg of Paxil for 2 days, then went to 20mg Paxil. No issues at all.

I am so happy I did it. I am a completely different person.  When I say anxiety was controlled on Celexa, I'll tell you I have NO anxiety on Paxil. I haven't thought about it at all.

I leave, drive, hang out with my friends, go do everything that not even Celexa allowed me to do."


"I tried tretinoin 0.05% a year ago and I stopped as it didn't have any effect no side effects either. So I went back to the doctor a month ago and the doctor said it can take up to 6 months before I could see any results but it's worth doing.  So I used the same cream and again I didn't notice any results until 3 weeks which gave dramatic improvement. It hasn't dried out my skin. My advice is stick at this medicine for at least 6 months because it's worth it. Take doxycycline antibiotics at early stages to help with negative side effects of acne getting worse in early stages."


"I have taken my first injection four days ago and after half a day with just a runny nose and headache, I have become very unwell with such bad backache and pain under my shoulder blade, temperature and nightmares/depression I am feeling I may have to stop before the next one.
Has anyone out there felt like this after and weighed up the stiffness to severe new pains?"


"Soooo...what a ride. Started on 10 mgs and felt ok. I was getting a stiff neck at times and my back would hurt a bit. But I kept on. Now I'm on 20 mgs probably for around 3 weeks and this third week on 20mgs has been rough. It's like I sleep, but I don't feel rested. It's weird. I'm hoping it goes away because I don't want to start all over again with a new drug. I'll probably stay on for a week and write down how I feel, but if that "side effect" doesn't go away I'm done. Its helping the racing thoughts, but I can't feel tired all the time."


"Been on this pill for about 8 months (changed from microgynon) and I've had a mixed experience. Periods are much lighter and less painful than ever before which is much better! However have found if I take pill packets back to back I always get breakthrough bleeding, which I haven't had with previous pills. Boobs have become more sensitive and got bigger, which I don't mind! But it's also meant I've put on almost a stone in 4 months without my lifestyle changing (I eat healthily, exercise regularly, have always had a good metabolism). Which has been really awful for my self esteem. This pill has given me high anxiety, made me feel depressed all the time. Really wouldn't recommend this pill"


"My daughter is 4 and started having seizures 9 months ago. She has been on Keppra since then. Overall it has worked to control but not completely prevent her seizures. It has stopped them from spreading to her whole body but she still has them in her face about once a month even though her dose has been increased several times and she is now taking 7 mls twice a day. The side effects now are not as bad as when she first started this medicine. Since she has been on it however she has not had as good of an appetite and some days she wont eat at all. Her sleeping habits have been irregular as well. Some times she freaks out and starts biting anything she can. She doesn't talk so she can't tell me how she feels."


"Took this drug 4 days on the 4th day I became ill.  Pain in the abdominal area felt like I was having a heart attack or severe indigestion. The pain was terrible for an hour. Took a tramadol  to ease the pain. Entire body felt weak and achy. After a few hours I was able to get out of bed and continue my day but felt like I had been run over by a truck.

I do not have a gallbladder and the bowel movements while not watery while on viberzi was scant and I had terrible gas and gas pains.

Off the med today. IBS-D is back. The watery bile in BMs is back. I'll take that over the bad pains and feeling bad"


"I have heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. I also have coronary artery disease as a result. The statin medications caused me to have myalgia, malaise, protein in my urine, increased blood sugar levels, weakness and forgetfulness. After having triple bypass surgery 4  1\2 years ago, my LDL was still too high despite being on a high dosage of Crestor and zetia. I started Repatha 6 months ago and my LDL is at a record low and my HDL has increased. The only side effects are slight burning at the injection site and minor flu like symptoms that last for a day. In my opinion Repatha is a miracle drug."


"Gum abscess ,new dentist proscribed metronidazole. First day I took three as  was advised. Sweating, feeling tired, depressed and irritable , thought this was just part of the process after a bad tooth and gum issue. Day two after another sleepless night and the symptoms got worse. Severe swelling to the face up around the eyes and also very little pain relief. Thought it was part of the process but by god it was miserable.Not hungry, unsettled bowels etc.This pain did not let you sit down, I had to walk around the house for three hours after taking this medication. Again, I thought it was part of the process.Another sleepless night. ( I was taking paracetamol and anti inflammatories too) Day three ,stopped,still in pain."


"I went for a routine check up with my Doctor, she called me, told me that I sadly had Chlamydia. I am on day 6 of 10. I didn't have any symptoms for this infection, so I can't say I notice a difference. I plan on getting tested again after I am done just to make sure. My only side effects are just a little nausea after taking them."


"I switched from Yaz (I was on it for 2 years) to Tri-Sprintec this month because of all the warnings. I think I would have rather suffered the blood clots and heart attacks than gone on this if I knew what was going to happen! About a week in I started getting really REALLY bad acne (just in time for spring semester!) like worse than I've ever had. And not just on my face, on my back and chest too, which hasn't happened since middle school. I've gained a lot of weight in the worst places even though I've been going to the gym more and eating better and I SWEAR my breast size has actually gone down. I feel so unattractive I don't even want my boyfriend to touch me. "


"I initially got this shot because I was told that it would completely stop your period. Well it's been 3 months now and I haven't stopped bleeding!! The first 2 weeks were great, then I got my period and haven't stopped bleeding. It's not a heavy period or anything just consistently light blood/ brown stuff. It has been the most annoying thing ever!! Not only has that been bad, but this shot made me super depressed, emotional and moody! I'm honestly surprised my boyfriend is still with me! Lol.  This has been such a horrible experience and I will definelty not be going back for another shot, I can't wait to have my normal period back for just a week each month. I will take a week of crampin over this shot anyday! I Really wanted to like it."


"I was so scared to take this prep after reading all of the horror stories...but it was so much easier than I anticipated! Unlike the average, I decided to space out both of my doses and drink them in 2 oz shot glasses every 10 minutes. My first dose was at 6 pm, and I wasn't sure how my body would react so I wanted to play it safe. I had my first movement within 30 minutes, and after that every 10 minutes or so.  Definitely make sure to be close to a restroom as the need to go is VERY strong! I drank ginger ale with my "shots" and sucked on lemon slices to get rid of the taste. To anyone reading this who is worried...DON'T BE! It's really easy. Good luck!"


"I switched from Suboxone to Subsolv and have had no problems. My insurance was canceled on me, and I had to look for a cheaper alternative, and Zubsolv has been it so far for me. Zubsolv has a WAY better taste over Suboxone, for me it was a mind over matter thing. I got used to the Suboxone, and the taste of it made me know I wasn't going to feel bad anymore, so I didn't mind it. Zubsolv is the same exact thing, but different taste, so don't let that freak you out.  Its a very minty clean feeling after you take it. I've almost forgot to brush my teeth in the mornings because I had a good taste in my mouth from Zubsolv.  Keep your mouth closed for a long time, after you put it under your tongue, don't even talk, or you will screw up your dose"


"Was diagnosed with plasmacytoma in the left mandible and went through radiation therapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks.  The radiation did a lot of damage to the inside of my mouth and tongue. I now have an exposed bone in my gum by the molars. I was healing nicely then out of the blue I started having severe pain in my jaw.  It only lasted less than 10 minutes x 10 per day, but it would come on suddenly and was severe. My oncologist said it was probably nerve regeneration causing the nerves to spasm. He prescribed amitriptyline 10mg and said to increase every 3-4 days until I start feeling relief. I am on 30 mg now and no pain at all and yes I have been sleeping great. My mouth was already dry from the radiation so no problem."


"Personally - worst decision I made. I have chronic endometriosis meaning I am in pain 24 hours a day. This was suggested to me by a doctor as a "cure". He swore black and blue that this would fix my pains! Since the day the lady inserted it, I have bled so heavy, my pad needs to be changed every 40-90 mins. I have never had such bad pains in my life. I have consulted my doctor, the emergency wards, ANYONE. No one seems to know how to fix the problem, nor will anyone remove this stupid thing. Be really careful with this!!!!!!!!!"


"I love this birth control, because I hate having my period. I have been on this pill for three years already and they are the best."


"Acute pain and swelling 6  hrs after the injection , unable to walk, difficult to sleep. Can't bend my knee and in absolute agony. Day 5 and my entire life is on hold as it very difficult  to move, wish I would never have had the shot- dangerous!!"


"After taking complera for 5 years, switched to triumec a lil over a month ago. Right after the first month, Viral load undetectable and T-cell count unknown. Doctor did not check my T- cell count; i did not like that. The side effects are terrible, my heart beat fast, red face, high irritability, jaw stiffness/pain, aweful headache, insomnia. In general feeling highly intoxicated. Can't deal with it."


"I started taking this birth control pill as my first time trying BC. I really loved it. It didn't affect my libido at all, I didn't have any nausea. Basically, it gave me no side effects and no baby! It was really great. Unfortunately, it was being offered at my college for 25 dollars, but it's significantly more expensive out of pocket without the college discount, so I had to switch once my college stopped discounting it. I've switched a few pills since then, but I still haven't found one as good at Lo Loestrin Fe."


"This is my 4th month on chateal and I have started to notice severe depression setting in. The first 3 month I felt fine but now I feel sad all the time. I'm going to stop taking the pill and see if it is chateal or just me. Plus side to this pill for me was, no weight gain, lighter/shorter periods, did not cause breakouts, no pregnancy."


"I am 5'2 and 210lbs as of yesterday. I have been taking Phentermine 15mg for 30 days only. Today is my 2nd day and I have only experienced dry mouth and a little more energy. I have read that people have a lot more energy and don't think about eating. Well yesterday I took the 1st pill at 5.55am and I was hungry by 10.30am and sleepy again by 12noon. I tried taking a nap around 7 but couldn't get to sleep. Went to bed around 11.30pm slept fine. I am hoping to lose 65lbs but I will settle for 55lbs. I just wish the doctor would have started me on a higher dosage. I am drinking a lot of water and I plan on working out on the Wiifit for 1 hour a day. I will write back in 2 weeks if I lose any weight."

"I'm 27 and I have been using Drysol since I was 21.  I found deodorants and antiperspirants did not work for me.  I have never been a heavy sweater but when I would wear them the combination of my sweat and the products would be a weird soapy smell.  I used Drysol at first once a week (using it 2 nights in a row gave me an armpit rash which hurt) but I used it when I needed *if I smelled and was sweating I would use it again that night*  I find the next night after using it my armpits are a little itchy, but I have nothing to say but good things about Drysol.  6 years later I don't even remember the last time I used it (maybe months ago) I have saved money on ruined shirts from pit stains and I don't ever smell. Strongly recommended!"


"Started a week ago after gabapentin was wearing off about 5 am. Hate it! Severe headaches and dry mouth wake me up several times a night and feel out of it in the morning. Also very expensive. Going back to gabapentin."


"I have PCOS with mennoraghia (long heavy menstrual bleeding) I have suffered since I was 13 years old. Depo and Norinyl never worked. This is the only birth control that has worked for my condition. I gained117 lbs on depo and 73 on Norinyl I haven't gained an ounce on Sprintec. I am very pleased with Sprintec!"


"I have been taking Glucophage for 11 years.  I have never had any side effects at all and my blood sugar level is always good."


"I am a 31 yr old female, I weighed in at 207lbs and a height of 5'3. I started taking Phentermine 30mg around May 15th. I went in for a 30 day check up and I was down 17lbs. I wasnt hungry at all, most days I wouldn't feel like eating untill lunchtime, then I would take a pill with a bottle of water before lunch then eat a small lunch, and an even smaller dinner.  I would try to walk for 20-30 minutes a day, sometimes more, sometimes I wouldn't get a chance to walk at all. The doctor was very pleased, as was I. He perscribed me for another 30 day perscription... But... I have done everything the same this round and haven't lost any weight at all. I have even threw in some extra walking. Has anyone else experienced this?"


"This birth control literally made me insane and depressed . Throwing it away was the best thing I've ever done !!!! Please be careful"


"I have severe back pain and leg pain associated with sciatica. The MRI indicates a central and left herniated disk between L5-S1 and annular disc bulging at the L4-L5 level. I tried every over the counter pain medication and Tramadol which did nothing. The pain in my back, left buttocks, left calf was debilitating. I could not put a pair of socks on let alone do any normal activity. My doctor then prescribed percocet and I have to say this drug is a God send. It actually has given me my LIFE back! I never get a 'high'- there is no feeling of euphoria- what I do get is RELIEF of my pain so that I can actually work, play and live. Side effects: constipation I eat bran cereal twice a day-gone. I get insomnia at night so I take smaller amounts."


"I started taking and was fine for a few weeks. Then I started gaining weight slowly. Before I knew it I had gained 40 pounds in 6 months. "


"I got this Implanon back in January 2012.  Everything was fine.  I was losing weight and then all of a sudden I gained the weight back.  I exercised and watched what I ate and the scale didn't move!  So I will be getting it taken out next month.  I don't want to be this size in 2 more yrs before I have another child. Mood swings were great.  Around July I was having periods twice a month until November or December of 2012.  No acne."


"Had my second dose today and so far not so good. Before starting citalopram I suffered from GAD alone but since starting them, I feel so much more anxious and depressed, I've spent my day trying to shut people off including my own mum, I just haven't been in the mood to talk to anyone or even get up to walk the dog. After seeing so many reviews saying how much better it'll get I've decided I'll try my hardest to stick to taking citalopram, I just hope it'll be as life changing as many people have said on here!
I haven't had many other side effects other than a little bit of nausea and a loss of appetite and a lot of sweating."


"Day 6 of metronidazole! Nausea, diarrhea, cramping, headaches, dizziness, loss of interest in food, feeling emotional and dark urine. HORRIBLE FEELING!"


"I have used Soma for 2 years and it really helps me. I have nothing bad to report about it. I do not feel addicted, and only use as needed but it certainly relieves my neck and lower back pain to the point where I can at least work. I have no hallucinogenic effects with it and don't feel sleepy with it either.  It's just a great drug."


"I have been given this medication twice - once after surgery to deal with nausea/vomiting from the pain medicine and again for severe morning sickness from pregnancy.  It has been very helpful, however I have experienced severe constipation as a side effect."


"Is not strong enough"


"After more than 5 years of taking 5/325s I have just 'graduated' to 7.5/325s.  I have spinal stenosis that can at times be tremendously painful.  I have horses to feed twice and day and the same for the horses.  With the 7.5s I can do the chores outside and come back in and help the wife do chores in the house.  It's not a 'cure all'  If I push too hard it still hurts, but it does usually take enough of the edge off to let me do what I have to do, and most of the time enjoy it.  I'm 69 diabetic and not really worried about addiction.

I was told by a surgeon that recovery time would be nearly a year with the first month spent cursing his name, again, 69 year old diabetic."


"These drops helped me so much. I was in severe pain for 8 days before I finally found a doctor who would prescribe them to me. I went to the ER 5 days in a row before I got any relief."


"Synthroid by itself was not effective.  It is of great interest to me that so many other people have had the experience of being told by a physician that everything is fine while everything was, decidedly, NOT FINE!  (making long story short due to length restriction. Details need space.)  Large dosage of Synthroid ineffective, nurse practitioner certain nothing wrong, physician A dosage is ok but maybe a small bump, small effect for short period then return to prebump effect, concerned that observation due to psychological rather than physiological waited, physician B does further workup, physician B sees most of Syntroid dosage going to reverse T3 (physiologically ineffective) adds Cytomel, the improvement was immediate; not psych."


"I've had the implant in for a little over a year now.  I remember reading these reviews before getting my implant and feeling very unsure.  I want to remind people that people are more likely to leave a review for a BAD experience than a GOOD experience.
Since getting the implant, I had one period that lasted about 3 weeks.  It wasn't bad.  Since then, no periods!  It's like a dream.  No other ill side effects - my sex drive is fine, no mood swings, and NO BABIES.  I would highly recommend trying this.  If you experience bleeding for 5+ weeks, CALL YOUR DOCTOR and they will probably remove it and recommend something else.  It won't work for everyone but it might work for you like it did me.  Just call your doc if anything feels wrong!"


"Awesome for controlling anxiety in the mind and letting you think clearly but I still feel the anxiety in my nerves but better alternative than benzodiazepines. Another con is it interrupts with exercise you can't sweat or get your heart rate up so if your going to exercise time the pill intake hours before."


"Definitely puts you to sleep. Lay down, then take it."


"I have been taking TOPROL XL 100MG for at least 9 yrs, during that time I tried the METOPROLOL and it did not control my blood pressure, the Toprol XL has worked great without side effects, however I have reduced my salt intake even to the extent of using red pepper on my eggs in the morning.  I took it on myself to reduce my dosage of TOPROL XL cutting it in half because my pressure was checking much lower and I did so for about two week prior to a Doctors appointment keeping a record of checks three to four times a day and gave it to my Dr. and he ran a EKG, then reduced my dosage in half and I'm checking out fine at around 120/70/67 so suggest check your salt intake."


"I started taking Effexor about 3 days ago. So far, it's been pretty crazy. I'm sweaty all of the time, nauseous yet starving, and cannot stay asleep for the life of me. However, it is really helping with my anxiety. I suffer from dermatilioma, which causes me to pick my skin. I have noticed that I've been picking A LOT LESS in just 3 days! My scabs are clearing up, and I'm not "catching" myself picking nearly as often. I also feel calm and relaxed. The side effects seriously suck though. As I type this, my phone is about to slip out of my hands from sweat. I'm a 95 lb 21 year old and I don't think I've ever sweated so much in my life. It's also been making dizzy. It's worth it to me though. If it will help me stop picking, I'll do anything."


"Well I'm coming upon my one year anniversary of using Belviq and l have lost nearly 50 lbs.  I lost faster in the beginning and now I am down to maybe 1-3 lbs a week.  I have lost slowly due to being disabled and I can't walk without my walker because of a botched bilateral knee and hip replacement a little over a year ago.  Exercising is mostly out for me.  I'm 62 and 5'6. The Belviq is not keeping me as full as it did in the beginning but I don't want to stop it because I'm afraid I will stop losing all together."


"I have bronchitis and was prescribed Cheratussin AC for chest congestion and cough.  It might be helping a little with the cough, but it is not bringing up the phlegm.  "


"I was on the depo for 5 year an it worked wonders with no periods side effects etc i came off 2 year ago to have my lil girl and went back on to it 8 weeks after giving birth and never again would i recomend it i had my lil girl and depo injection in 2013 its now 2015 an iv been bleeding the whole time since"


"At first when I was reading  these reviews I thought they were a bit excessive and was sure the company was paying people to write positive reviews. But after my experience I now can see they true. It was the first morning of my 3 week vacation in LA and I woke up with a cold sore. Awesome. It already was at its blister stage and so swollen and painful (top left side of lip). I got the abreva pump from cvs and spent a whole day continuously reapplying. It completely reduced the swelling and blister and now its completely shrunk and about to disappear and its day 2. Usually I get cold sores once or twice a year that last 10-14 days. I cannot believe this actually worked.  definitely worth the $22"


"Works so well for me and my family. However it has been increasingly hard to find in pharmacies.  Keep being told it is no longer manufactured, or is behind in production.  Wish I could get it easier when we need it."


"I was too drunk to know if I was protected on Aug 26th. I took Plan B August 28th. I had no side effects. I got my period on time. Try to breathe, it will be okay! xo"


"I have had acne since I was about 12 and now I am 22. I have tried everything under the sun to try and stop the horrid look. When my white heads turned into cyst like pimples I knew I had to completely do something else. I never took birth control before, but my dermatologist prescribed me TriNessa and I bless her heart everyday!!!! I love that I can be 100% honest and say this birth control changed my life. I started it in the beginning of December 2014 and it is now February of 2015 and my cysts are completely gone! It obviously is not going to happen over night, so take the time and try it! I also didn't gain weight from it, that's always a plus. So, drink water, workout, and take TriNessa and you will be a happy, happy girl!!!!!!!!"


"I've had Severe Vertigo for 3.5 Months, I'm in a nursing home that does not believe some of the best Doctors at Yale so I Had 7 days of Relief!!!!  A Neurology appointment at  Hospital is in Mar. 2018, I will have Vertigo for close to 7 Months, Yes I will be suing the Nursing Home, because Yale will prescribe Valium again, and the rest home  WILL NOT GIVE IT!!!   PS, I'm also a Licenced Private Pilot and Vertigo was a Prime study section to Obtain your Private Pilot Certificate, Thanks, Jack"


"I had Skyla placed on January 29th, 2016. It is now February 9th, 2016. I have been on the pill since I was 15; I'm currently 24. I was sick of taking the pill and wanted to look into implants. I was considering Nexplanon (the one that goes in your arm) but decided to proceed with Skyla per my nurse's recommendation. It has been a little over a week since I've had it placed and I've compiled a list of pros and cons:
Pro- immediately and highly effective. Pro- no daily pill to take/monthly shots etc. Pro- Free (with my insurance).Con- EXTREMELY uncomfortable to have placed, but it only lasts for about a minute. Con- I spotted and cramped for the first day and a half (BUT) Pro- nothing since then. Con- I think it's causing me to break out."


"Pristiq really works for me. I have severe anxiety and am also bipolar. I started a higher dosage of 100 mg after 50 mg stopped working as good.  I can really tell a difference in my feelings."


"Not always effective."


" I had unprotected sex and my partner did not pull out in time. I wasn't on birth control and it had been 3 days after my period ended. I took the pill about 2 hours after and panicked for a whole month. The side effects definitely got to me, I was nauseous for four days and experienced dizziness as well and lost my appetite. I thought I was pregnant for sure. Even though my period was a day late, it still arrived therefore the pill worked!! Worth the money."


"If I was not on Effexor (in combination with Lithium & Seroquel), truthfully, I would not be here to write this.  With investigation by my psychiatrist into  my medical records, we identified I have been bipolar for 40 years.  Many of them I was not treated, even though I spent three different times in a "mental" facility.  The only identification for me was that I was a difficult and troubled person.  When I finally met the psychiatrist I have today, with his help and his innate understanding of what bipolar is, it only took 3 or 4 different prescriptions to finally arrive at Effexor giving me the best overall help.  As I mentioned earlier, this prescription has truly been a life saver.  No bothersome side effects."


"I started Depo as an alternative to the pill due to the fact that I kept forgetting to take it. At first, it was a miracle. My period immediately stopped. I did gain a bit of weight, but it wasn't anything that I thought about too much. But after my third round of the shot is when problems started to occur. I became incredibly unstable. My moods were unbearable to the point where it almost cost me a relationship. I was constantly depressed, no sex drive, and the scale kept climbing even after efforts to eat healthier and exercise. I decided to go off of it and everything just stopped. I feel normal again. My weight dropped. "


"True effectiveness against pregnancy but I would definitely not recommended it!!! I had to get it removed!!!! I literally had a head ache that never went away!! Major migraines! I had lower back pain as if I was getting contractions.. I was so miserable! I could also feel it poking out through my skin! If you grabbed me touched a certain way it would hurt! I know taking the pill is a drag but I think out of all the methods that's the best!"


"Just been back for my 2nd months of tablets.  Lost 10lb in the 1st 3 wks
of being on Xenical & gone from an size 18 to a comfortable 16. Eating more healthily, but need to start exercising if this is going to work properly. It doesn't work for everyone, but definitely worth trying if you're struggling with your weight."


"I'm 80 years old with chronic back pain.
I've been taking 5/335 Vicodin for 6 months.
It's been great.
I really recommend it.
It has made my life so much better. I'm not worried about addiction at my age."
