"If you're reading this, you're probably going through a pregnancy scare. I am here as a living proof to tell you not to worry because this pill works for me, as well as hundreds of people at this web. I had sex with my boyfriend but unfortunately the condom broke. even though there was no cum, i was worried sick. so i took the pill within 2 hours. my period was 3 days late but hey i was so so relieved when it came. dont worry girls, worrying brings u nowhere. just take the pill and play the waiting game. dont stress yourself too much!!"


"Silenor's active ingredient is doxepin. A 90 day supply of doxepin (it will be in liquid form to be mixed with water) costs $12 . I gave this information to my doctor and he prescribed the doxepin. My insurance company is not involved and this has saved me a substantial amount of money. I've been using it for about four years and am very happy with the results."


"Started treatment on Lithium in the midst of a major depressive episode. Started on 400mg and gradually titrated up to 1000mg. In short, I love this med. I've had very few side effects; I've gained weight but I think this is mainly due to Quetiapine which I take alongside Lithium. I still experience major shifts in mood, but lithium has made me far less suicidal, less inclined to self harm and has majorly improved my focus, concentration span, verbal dexterity and, in part, manic spells. I am now in what would normally be a manic phase in my cycle and, whilst I still feel a little jittery and excitable, it's far better than before. Only minor set back is my thyroid function is a little high, but I'm monitoring this with doc. Recommended."


"Took it for a year and although I loved it in the begining (lost weight, no acne), after about 6 months I realized I was feeling sad, tired, with no energy or no sex drive at all. Also experienced hair loss and nausea. Going off now and will try something else."


"Give it time to get your method of application mastered. I bend the four corners in slightly to make them stick better so they don't peel up. Also don't put the film directly over you saliva duct on your check, try putting it below or in front of it.

With manufacturer coupon and BCBS I pay $30 for # 60 Bunavail 4.2/0.7mg films. Bunavail is a tier 3 medication, manufacturer card pays $100."


"I started this pill, because for whatever reason, I had a menstrual period for over a month. This awful pill slowed it down, but I'm still bleeding, almost 2 months now. I have AWFUL migraines, acne, gained weight, TERRIBLE mood swings, and the worst cramps. I need off this ASAP."


"I have been taking Jardiance for just over a year - I have NOT experienced any side effects whatsoever - MORE importantly this drug has reduced my blood sugar levels to an average of 5 and has maintained this level, quite incredible as nothing else has worked previously - I have named Jardiance as the "diabetic wonder drug" although my Doctor keeps reminding me there is no such thing as a wonder drug - I disagree this is MY wonder drug - thank you Jardiance you have changed my life completely astonishing result."


"I was prescribed Contrave by my doctor 3 weeks ago. I'm on week 3 and the side effects are just too much to deal with. My starting weight was 196lb and I've only lost 3 pounds. I work out 3x a week and walk daily. I changed my eating habits to stay under 1200 calories daily. Anyone who is looking to take this medication hopefully you can handle the nausea and vomiting, headaches and sweats. I wouldn't recommend Contrave it's not worth the money in my opinion."


"This is a Miracle drug!!!!!!!!!!!
Psychological ED for 25 years. I wasn't too bad with my ex wife as I drank to mask anxiety. Nearly 5 years without sex as couldn't get erection with a woman. Always ok in masturbation. Went to see doctor after 25 years silence for Viagra. Was sceptical. Went on first date and took 50mg pill 45 mins before sex. Hot flush in head watery eyes but ok. I had the most amazing sex I couldn't believe it! Full erection straightaway in stimulation. Had full sex twice orgasming both times in half an hour!! I was overwhelmed. A 25 year problem sorted in 45 mins. I'm so confident now. Thank you Viagra I still can't believe it."


"I've only been on Absorica for a month now, but it's been great so far. I do have side effects... mostly itchy, itchy scalp- selsun blue shampoo works great. Plus conditioned and "it's a 10" leave in conditioner all together seems to relieve it almost completely! Semi-dry skin.. nothing some lotion won't fix. My lips are the absolute worst though. Soooo dry and sensitive! I use aquaphor and vaniply ointment (available at derm) and they help... but please trust me when I say to order some "Dr. Dan's CortiBalm" this stuff is a LIFESAVER! Other than that, wash with Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, use Cetaphil gentle skin moisturizer, Cetaphil night time cream @ night only-super oily. Also, definitely get Eucerin redness relief day lotion!"


"I had back surgery and have nerve damage, so when pain starts with the nerve down the leg, I take this medicine and it works wonders."


"Don't take it for longer than 1 month. I'm addicted to 4 mg daily and I can't get off.
Side effects - Short-term memory and long term memory are gone (REALLY GONE), I'm so so tried (I sleep all day) and I have 0 motivation. It's amazing for short term anxiety of all kinds. Just do not get addicted. IMO max 1-2 mg for max 1 mth. 2 year user. 27 yo male. Kills anxiety in it's tracks but not to be used long term. Look into Nardil/Parnate if SSRIs fail. Asenapine is great if you need your racing thoughts controlled. DO NOT LET ANY PSYC GIVE THIS TO YOU LONG TERM"


"My 12 year old son was presented Montelukast in February 2015 for Allergies. It helped really well with controlling reactions and I was happy with it. In Sept 2015 I started noticing that me son was becoming anxious about everything. He stopped playing out with his friends, going to youth clubs and scouts and we even had tears when he had to go to school. He developed a separation anxiety with me and began to have bad night terrors and sleep walking EVERY night, sometimes more than once. The last straw was when he developed a phobia of being sick after a tummy bug to the point that he was avoiding eating incase he bought it back up, he lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. Hes now under a mental health service for support. This drug has ruined our lives!"


"Treated with doxycycline (2 months) for prostatitis. Nausea, headaches and more came with taking this medicine. Body just couldn't adjust. Symptoms seemed to improve but the side effects were just to much for me (personally). On Cipro now."


"Diagnosed in August 1998 of Rheumatoid Arthritis, almost got disabled with pain everyday, tried Arava, Humira, Enbrel, and on prednisone for a year (the only miracle medicine for me) until my rheumatologist prescribed Remicade and methotrexate. It made a big difference in my life. It is a very expensive treatment but put me in remission. I'm still on it as a prophylaxis just in case I will have flare ups."


"I had this removed yesterday morning and within 24 hours my sex drive kicked back in again. Funny that. This thing works effectively as birth control because you probably won't want your partner to touch you. Yep, here are 10 things I won't miss by having a stick owned by one of the world's largest pharmaceutical corporations in my arm:

1. Headaches.

2. Bleeding. Every. Day.

3. No normal period. See point 2.

4. No sex drive.

5. Weight gain.

6. Mood swings that made me feel insane.

7. Sensitivity to the stupidest things.

8. Lower bone density and higher risk of osteoporosis. See 2007 study.

9. Unchartered, unknown long-term effects.

10. Having a stick that might break through my skin when grabbed accidentally.

Satisfaction: never again."


"Maxalt-MLT has been the only migraine medication that didn't give me most of the common side effects. My migraines don't often come with warning signs, like the "auras." My left temple just starts to throb, and I know I have about an hour before the pain has me hiding in the dark, wishing my skull would just go ahead and split open. Maxalt works within the hour (at least to head off the really awful pain - sometimes I need to take another one in a few hours to completely erase the headache), and I can get on with my day. The only side effect I've ever noticed is if I take one and then lie down, I'll sleep for a couple hours. But if I'm up and around or out and about, I can keep going just fine. But I can say the same thing about Benadryl."


"Two bottles of water and a can of tonic water later and my heartburn is RAGING. Don't lay down after taking this medication. "


"I'm having a lot of fullness and sharp pains in my stomach, and also have constipation."


"Horrible!!! If ur doctor offers u this turn it down!!! I've been on subs for over three years and got put on this bull***** because of insurance. The fact that it dissolves in ur cheek is the only thing bunavail has going for it. I cannot get out of bed on this crap my whole body hurts 24/7 it's like I'm consistently going through withdrawals. Take my advice do not get on this medicine because it's free u will be stuck on it, pay for the subs because if u get on bunavail u will be back in the streets buying what got u on subs anyways"


"I've seen a psychiatrist and a therapist for year. Over a 12 year span, I've probably tried 20-30 drugs. This medication is the first to make me feel human again. I'm not a zombie and I'm not lacking emotion. I'm genuinely happy and thriving. I'm so happy I finally found this medication. I've also not had weight gain, I've actually lost some weight."


"Bad taste but improves over time. Severe headache but again..improved with continual use. Then right eye started excessive tearing and running down my face. Stopped med for two days and got better then restarted. Two more weeks then right eye started excessive tearing again... and face broke out in rash.. looks like new onset Rosacea so made appointment with dermatologist and eye doc. Never had any issues before starting this med. Really  worried now....should have waited before starting a brand new med before it had been out long enough. I am a pharmacist and know better."


"It increased my milk supply but also made me quite drowsy.  Had to discontinue use after 8 weeks.  Found another drug that worked better without the side effects, Motilium (domperidone)."


"I started off on Microgestin Fe  1/20 , and I was fine dealing with side effects, such as minor anxiety, headaches, bloating, mood swings, increased appetite, mind fog, assuming it would go away and it was normal, until week 2. Then, it got so bad I couldn't handle it or wait it out anymore. I had a panic attack and anxiety so bad, I immediately quit. Right after, I was fine. My body went back to normal. Then I started Lo Loestrin Fe, and I STILL feel normal!! No bloating, no anxiety, no mood swings. My boobs did get bigger and I have a bit more energy than normal.  I was worried all birth control would make me feel as the first one did, but with doing research,  I found the perfect one for me."


"I had migrain headaches ALL my life, they were SO bad I would be unable to function for 3 to 7 days at a time. I sometimes even felt as if I was going to die, that's how terrible the pain would be! I used to take Fiorinal, then I would be in another world, be unable to stop talking, and would be up all night. Lots of medications affect me the opposite as they would other people.
A Doctor gave me Topamax to try, Oh my Stars, it is a wonder drug. It does not put my head in another world as a pain pill did, but I don't get Migraines, ever! It also made me feel like it was Spring all the time, it took away my Dark Moods I would get in. [I also have Bi-Polar, but not severe]. I have not had a migraine in 6 years."


"This drug is amazing. Before taking it I would eat non-stop and obsess about food because of my depression. Now I only eat when it's meal time and don't even think about it any other time. I sleep great, have more energy and the only side effects were mild nausea the first couple days. The depression is gone and I feel so much better. I'm taking 50 mgs once per day."

"LOVE this Levoxyl.  I am 55 and in menopause.  Have had several blood works and told doctors how crappy I felt, no energy in a fog, hair loss all the symptoms of menopause and then some.  I go to Mexico tell a Doc the SAME symptoms and suggested I take this medicine and I would feel better, get out of the fog and frumpy slump I was feeling, have more energy AND MAN after 3 weeks I feel fantastic. I don't even crave sweets or want to eat as much. I have that ZAZAZOO back in me. I feel more alive and sexy.  I am single and I don't want to live my life without having FUN. This medication has brought some life back in ME!"


"My face has gotten progressively worse. I have been using soolantra for 6 weeks and I have decided to stop because I literally now have a skin problem much worse than before. My whole face now has a blackhead in every pore and although my skin was never perfect it is now ruined by this medication. I go to sleep and wake up the next morning to find 8 to 10 pustules appearing overnight. This stuff has made my condition way worse."


"I am glad I finally found something to relieve my dry eye pain in the summer months."


"Piece of cake. Took first bottle at 6pm. Chugged it. Very slight gag reflex but kept it together.  I have paid more, in a bar, for stuff that tastes far worse.  Gurgling started 15 minutes later. Bathroom after half hour. Mostly done in 2 hours. Felt slightly feverish and had slight headache. No problems going to bed. Set alarm for 3am for second dose. Over slept. Took second dose at 4am. TIP:  have a water chaser. Second dose was much easier. Flow much less. Pretty much done by 6:30. The procedure was a piece of cake. I rolled over, they gave me meds and I awoke 30 mins later.  Doctor said great results. Next one in 10 years. An hour later I was enjoying corned beef hash, two eggs over easy and toast."


"Works well if you can tolerate the annoying cough that is a common side effect of this medication!"


"I have been on effexor xr for 11 years now and it works wonderfully for me. The only side effect was dry mouth and constipation. It.s not for every patient. Always contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen."


"I conceived my 1st baby unexpectedly when I was 17 but once it came time to try for baby number 2 we had trouble. I had developed PCOS and didn't have a menstrual cycle for 8 months straight (due to anovulation) so my doctor prescribed Clomid after 18m of no luck. I took 50mg on cycle days 2-6 and conceived my baby boy on cycle day 14(April 2009). He was born at 37 weeks 110% healthy. When we wanted to try for #3 my wonderful OBGYN prescribed Clomid again right away, allowing us to avoid the unnecessary stress of trying with no luck again. So we used 50mg on cycle days 1-5 this time and I conceived my beautiful baby girl on cycle day 21, first cycle again (Sept 2010). She was born at 39 weeks, 10 lbs of perfectness. Clomid was my miracle."


"I take Dilaudid because I am living with Multiple Sclerosis and have severe muscle spasms. Unfortunately, the Dilaudid has started making me constipated - so my doctor prescribed me Relistor Injections - 12mg (the higher dose - it depends on your weight).

I took this medication for the first time this morning because I had not had a bowel movement in five days. I did the injection (beware, it burns when injecting!) and went on with my day. Within ten minutes (I'm not kidding) I had to use the restroom. Success! That's the good part. After my successful bowel movement came terrible abdominal pain. I mean, it wasn't like, "I have to go to the ER" terrible, but it was significant enough that I am mentioning it. Overall, a good drug."


"Lost 16 pds. in 3 weeks. The only side effect was headache 1st week, now I'm good. I feel GREAT I only take it once a day. In the afternoon a feel Hungry but start eating and I feel full."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Reviews said that this tasted like salty cherries. Being the salt fanatic I am, I thought I'd enjoy this concoction. It smelled pleasant and looked like water which further tricked me into thinking it wouldn't be bad at all. WRONG!!! The first gulp I took was torturous, sending a cringe down my entire body and leaving the worst taste in my mouth and making me dread the rest of it. I added a straw, which made it more bearable, but I also cut up some lemons and took a big ol' bite of it after each chug to erase the unbearable bitterness. 2nd round of this, I almost couldn't bring myself to drink it. I added lemonade mix, didn't help, and was making me gag. But it emptied me out GREAT which is why I give it a 6"


"I asked my pulmonary doctor if I could try Symbicort.  She have me a 2 week sample and almost immedately I started wheezing and I saw no improvement and went back to my previous medication."


"I am 21 and was recently on this medicine for 4 months. I was prescribed Lexapro, it helped in more ways than one.  I've always dealt with daily anxiety, but I had never known any other way.  A single worry could ruin the entire day.  While on Lexapro, it raised my emotional state to where it needed to be and also suppressed my anxiety. It was nice to be giddy and to care about people again.  No weight gain/loss to be noted, but it made me very tired and disrupted my sleep.  Woke up about 3 times a night compared to my usual zero, and my dreams were vivid and disturbing.  Don't go off cold turkey, even if your mood stays positive, there are physical withdrawals such as hand-eye coordination off, headaches, shakiness, clumsiness. Good luck!"


"I have been in Seasonique for 9, almost 10 years. I take my pill everyday at the same time, even if I have to take in the middle of a an outing. Forgetting to take the pill isn't an option for me. I've never had any major side effects and on the rare occasion I have a little breakthrough bleeding, I take the pill with 1000mg of vitamin C ( if you do the research it increases the impact of the estrogen in the pill, therefore slowing and then effectively stopping the breakthrough bleeding). It usually takes 2 days and it's over. Sometimes I take 2 packs continuously and don't have a period for 6 months, my OBGYN is fine with this. I say give it a try, take it at the same time everyday !!!!"


"Great for short term pain relief as far as long term the withdrawal makes you wish you never started taking and could manage pain without it only if nessesary. Follow directions."


"I've been on Loestrin for quite a few months now and it started off fine. I only had slight headaches. Now I've been getting my period every other week for the past 7 weeks."


"Great"


"I started taking Apriso after being diagnosed with Crohn's August 2017. My Gastro doctor started me out on the ER capsules in the morning. I didn't really notice many side effects at first. I actually felt better than I've felt in years. Crohn's symptoms are almost completely gone, however, I still have a bad day every now and then. A few weeks in, I'm having horrible pounding headaches, dizzy when I stand from sitting, heart burn, excessive sweating, dry mouth, nausea, food taste metallic, and loss of appetite. I'm afraid if I stop this medication all the Crohn's issue will return. I would rate it a 5 because the med works if you can tolerate the side effects."


"I tried this for two weeks and yet I never got to sleep on it. I had to try it for two weeks because otherwise my doctor wouldn't give me anything else. "


"I got it when I was 21-22 years old. I was excited about it at first because you don't get periods and it's every 3 months. However I did get spotting in between, which was expected. The worst part about it was the effect it had on my mood swings. I got severely depressed and had high anxiety and would lash out a lot. I was also hungry all the time and probably gained 5lbs at most. It really affected my performance in school and my close relationships."


"Wasn't sleeping well and was having career-related anxiety.  I went to my PCP and he put me on Ambien and Lexapro.  I was very concerned about effect Lexapro would have on me, but I went ahead and started it.  First day I was a little tingly but no other immediate physical response.  The next morning I woke up retching/dry heaving.  I spent the whole day having hot and cold spells.  My ears were burning.  My head felt congested but without any sinus issues.  I was severely agitated/restless.  I couldn't sit still.  Felt sick all day.  I took the pill again the second morning (yesterday), but today woke up retching again.  Still very restless with some twitching of arms and legs.  Didn't take the medicine again today."


"NuvaRing gave me hormonal hot flashes, and I found it hard to take my Loestrin 24 Fe at the same time every day, so I decided to try Nexplanon. I am a 23 year old college graduate, and I am 3 weeks into my Nexplanon. Granted, it hasn't been long, but my experience so far is AMAZING. Ladies, I want to make sure all of you know that birth control works differently with every woman, and most reviews online are from negative experiences, for I was so nervous to get this inserted because of all the negative online reviews. Here's how my experience has been so far: extremely clear skin, no breakthrough bleeding or spotting, no mood swings, pain, headaches or nausea, bigger breasts. I'm in love. Don't believe every negative review."


"Dry mouth,dry eyes  and continued to urinate. I believe it is an expensive drug with the same side effects as most of the other medications in this class. This was very drying compared to say Gelnique. "


"Felt normal in 24 hours"


"Very effective for me with both nausea and diarrhea.  Works well at preventing vomiting, in my experience."


"Started May 3rd and the sides effects, nausea, tiredness, and lack of energy almost made me stop. I am getting slightly better on day 3 so I'll continue for now. I am diabetic so I realized I have to eat to keep my blood sugar on even scale (I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat) I haven't weight myself. Starting weight 218 lbs."


"I have been taking Ritalin for my narcolepsy for almost three years now. It helps significantly and without it, I don't think I would be able to work or function. However, my dosage has needed to be increased as it seems my body is getting used to it. It's also a great alternative to Provigil because it does not interact with birth control pills as Provigil does."


"I have got psoriatic arthritis all of my body, fingers, shoulders, knees, neck, but not on my skin. I just have a little psoriasis skin on my head. Had my first shot and within 12 hours my all pain gone. I can walk again.  It's like magic."


"I've been on depo for 4 years, and I love it. Despite the shot every three months I don't have my period, mood swings, or cramps. Everyone has a different body so not everyone will have the same effect with depo. For me it was the best birth control I could have chose. Two thumbs up!!"


"Do not give to people under 18 the black box warning is true I was put on this when  I was 16 (i'm 19 now) and it made me want to kill myself to the point of hospitalization. Even though that side effect may be rare it does happen. Do not think it won't happen to you or your child because it's so rare. Im blessed to still be alive today. It makes you messed up beyond words. Should never be given to young kids. It ruined my teenage years. It ruined it!!!I am dead serious too!!!"


"wish I know about ringing of the ears that this drug may have caused.  I hope I can quit on my own.  Feel like I have the flu after 72 hours from last dose."


"Went to the ER because of sciatic nerve pressure for severe pain and multiple muscles spasms that would not stop. 2 injections of dilaudid had no effect at all. Tried some 4mg oral dilaudid tablets and no effect at all. This is most likely a very effective pain reliever but this indicates that not all pain relievers work on me. Doctors don't believe me so I almost always refuse to take any pain medication. I think I need to be studied."


"I am on day #10 of this medication and the side effects are very minimal although I am having trouble sleeping. My sleep patterns have been affected. I feel more energetic, as If I have to be doing something. My mind will not stop repeating the same thoughts, over and over again. I am also very hungry and have an increased appetite. It does however, cause me to think about things differently as I know what my general reaction to things would be, or have been in the past, but, it allows me time to think of an alternative besides being explosive. It has calmed me, and more than once, has helped me to cope with a situation differently and more calmly. Overall, I think I'm doing well so far. I plan to continue this medication for some time."


"I started taking Strattera a few weeks ago for ADD. I have noticed it makes me really calm compared to my usual ways. It helps me focus a little better than I used to but I am still not really focused during class. I take 80mg a day, yes I know that's a lot but that's what was prescribed for me. I have completely lost my appetite. Some days go by and I realize I haven't eaten anything. I have lost 10 lbs. Other than that it just gives me a really dry mouth. I always take over the counter sleep aids so I always sleep fine. I wonder if I should try Adderall? Concerta I have already tried and did not like it."


"I first had a panic attack last June & went to the hospital. They gave me Ativan 1mg. I took that for about 1 month and felt sort of out of it, so I decided to only take half and see how that worked. It did work, but I still felt like a zombie. I went back to the doctor & was prescribed BuSpar 5mg twice a day. I took that for three months, but was still having issues waiting in lines, being in public places & sometimes driving. I found I still needed to take the Ativan when I started to panic. Long and short the 5 mg 2xday would take away about 60% of my anxiety and I would force myself out of my head, so to speak. Recently I went back to the doctor & she upped my dose to 7.5 mg twice a day. I feel great! This is giving me my life back, NO more Ativan."


"I had Skyla inserted June 8, 2016. The insertion was more uncomfortable than painful, and I have a very low pain tolerance. I had it inserted while I was on my period. DO NOT work after the insertion. I thought I would be fine, but I felt like I was going to pass out and had extreme cramps. For the first couple of months I had cramps and bleeding every single day. I still have random intense cramping followed by spotting, but skyla is worth it. You don't have to worry about taking a pill and my periods are finally starting to regulate after years of randomly getting it and never knowing when it was coming. Def recommend, just have to deal with side effects for the first couple of months."


"Best medication for chronic pain. 5 bad lower discs, 1 mid back, 1 removed C6-C7 neck, pinched nerves, sciatica and rheumatoid arthritis. After about a year of therapy and different meds we got to Percocet 10/325 and although not 100% pain free it allowed me to get my life back. Problem I have now is since I've changed jobs and have insurance with Kaiser. Getting a Doctor to put me back on them is almost impossible even with my previous medical records. "


"Just finished with this round and glad it is over. I had all side effects but stayed positive and finished. Now I must wait 3 months and retest to see if I am negative for H Pylori. Will update once I get tested and get the results"


"I've read a lot of the reviews, and I do relate to the shortened 4 days of real bleeding.  The remaining 3 days is light spotting, if that.  I used to bleed really heavily for almost 7 days and immediately after I started the first placebo.  I chose reclipsen b/c my last bc was causing melasma (pigment patches on my face).  I don't see that as much with reclipsen, b/c it's a low dose pill.  Other than that, my period on bc have always been less painful.  I don't know if I can contribute weight gain or migraines to this pill....too many other factors.  I think it does what it needs to with no side effects that I know of, and that's all I need from a bc.  So I definitely recommend it."


"I had Skyla inserted 8 weeks after having my 2nd child through c-section. The insertion was very painful but quick about 5 min, I had some moderate cramping few days after but nothing serious. I was breastfeeding at the time, not sure if it's Skyla's fault but I lost my milk supply almost completely after getting it inserted. I only had one period after the insertion it was much heavier then my normal period, lasted for about 5 days with very heavy bleeding on day 2 and 3. And 3 months later I fond out I was pregnant, so much for 99.8% protection."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 8/13. Insertion wasn't bad, the thought of it was worse than the actual procedure. Little to no bruising, the healing process was quick and painless. The first few months I only had spotting here and there a couple times during the month. Then no spotting or periods, no cramps or any other of my usual symptoms. But right at a year, I started having monthly, slightly heavier, periods, which then progressed into two periods a month. One is worse than the other, heavy, cramps and overall fatigue. I still spot, randomly. Mainly during/after sex. Overall, I love the effectiveness and ease of Nexaplanon, I don't see myself changing any time soon, but I will talk to my doctor about the periods."


"I thought I was losing my mind, but per these reviews, I think my suspicious are founded.  I've been on Estarylla for ~6 months as my pharmacy replaced this with the Sprintec I've been taking for about 6 years now.  Never any issues with Sprintec, it was by far my favorite BC.  This BC is the worst I've ever had.  I've had months with break-thru bleeding (like 3 weeks of bleeding vs at most 1...), I've put on about 10 lbs, I have no desire to do anything but eat and not workout (not like myself AT ALL) and no libido.  I called my OB/GYN and she immediately suspected the BC.  I will be switching back to Sprintec per her "dispense as written" on my prescription.  Ladies, heed the warnings of the others and myself, do not take this pill..."


"I have been on Yaz almost a month. The reason why I picked, and like this medication is because it doesn't give me mood swings, which every other birth control always causes. My complaints are that I have seen random acne pop up here and there on my face, and a little breakthrough bleeding. I also have cravings, and get super nauseous at the thought of certain foods. I am definitely a picky eater now, and would prefer not to eat, than eat something that turns my stomach (which seems to be a lot of things lately) my breasts are more "perky", and all my milk from my son has dried up fairly quickly. I do get dizzy, it's happened twice only. I also feel a little spacey, but it's getting better. Not sure about weight gain, if any."


"Work great, better than any OTC med. Insurance companies need to cover this med, as it will prevent or delay costly other treatments (such as surgeries)."


"Worked for a short amount of time when use with Retin-A"


"Only been on it for a week and am feeling extremely miserable. It's hard to describe but the only effect it has had is a couple hours after I take it I get this unbearable mental discomfort where I feel both exhausted and restless at the same time. It's driving me crazy! Other than that, it's had no other effect, positive or negative."


"I got the Nexplanon put in on August 2nd 2012. I didn't get my period until the next month and when I did it was for about twelve days. I get my period at random times. Before this my period was every 28 days but now I have no idea when it will start next. A couple of days after getting it inserted I had a backache for about two days and my hair was falling out; this lasted for a few weeks. Now I don't have any hair loss but around July 16, 2013 I started experiencing lower back pain. I get the pain every single day all day long. It's a dull ache that just lingers around. Overall the Nexplanon is very effective. Every woman's body is different; you just have to find the right birth control for yourself."


"20mg and WOW........better stamina than ever before. Incredible. The only side effects were slight headache and flushed face, pounding on door and walls from hotel patrons next door who couldn't sleep from all the screeching and thrashing. Awesome."


"I first went on this medication in March of 2013 and almost a year later, I've had to adjust it 3 times, going up to 4 finally. When I first started, I was sent into a manic like state for several hours, but after about a week, I started to sleep more than I ever did. I usually only got about 3 hours of sleep each and every night, starting from when I was 12 and up until I started Risperidone, which is when I was 18. It has helped with every single thing that was wrong with me, the delusions, hallucinations, dissociation, and homicidal feelings. I would definitely suggest trying this if you haven't yet. It worked wonders with me."


"I was on Kariva for about 6 months and gained about 15 pounds. It regulated my period just fine but I had to go up like 2 pants sizes and had to buy all new bras. I used to be a size 0-3 (depending on brand, usually around a 2 though) but went up to a 5-7 on Kariva. Once I switched to Apri, my breasts stayed about the same size but I lost all of that bloated water-weight that I had on Kariva. On Kariva, I was sooooo bloated every single day and it was miserable. I was all squishy and plump and considering I gained all of my weight on my stomach, wearing anything other than sweatpants felt horrible. DO NOT RECOMMEND."


"Robaxin works great for me but only for short periods of time. I am on for 3 weeks and then off for 1 week.

"


"Only 1 week on this 1 pill 3 times a day. I haven't drank anything, but I haven't been in any situations that I would drink yet. I'm a binge drinker. At home I don't drink at all. If I'm out at a casino or bowling I'll go nuts and forget what happens the next day."


"I am so thankful for Gleevec!  I did have some side-effects but prior to Gleevec, taking interferon and hydroxyurea led to much more severe side effects.  I had aching limbs, and I now have a skin reddening/rash--like rosacea on my cheeks and my upper arms are reddish--like a mild sunburn.  I have tummy issues now--gurgling, diarrhea, cramping, etc., but they are easily managed with imodium.  Gleevec has extended my survival and I had the honor of meeting Dr Druker who developed the drug, at Oregon Health and Science University.  He was absolutely wonderful as was the care I received there."


"I think this drug is a miracle drug.  There are so many good things that has been found about it.  They are still finding things out about the positive effects of using it for opiate withdrawal.  It has helped hopeless drug addicts that were headed for nothing but institutions and death.  They now have good jobs, are driving new cars and living life."


"Celexa is very effective in my opinion. I have tried Lexapro and Paxil which made me horribly sick. I have had a few side effects since I am just starting it, but they are not that bad. I can tell they are there but I'm not stopped by them. The only effect I don't like is the sexual problems. They aren't kidding about it. Started affecting me on day 1. Getting better is worth it though. Please give it a try, even if you're nervous!"


"I've been using the product for about 1 month, and the sweating is absolutely gone.  My doctor recommended the Botox treatment, but HyperCare is a much cheaper alternative.  It did itch for the first 2 weeks, but has since subsided and there is no longer any itching or burning.  I also notice that I can now skip 1-2 days, and the sweating is still managed.  Great product!"


"This medication has saved my emotional distress caused by hyperhidrosis.  I wish I had discovered this before doing the thoracic sympanthectomy (SP).  That surgery was horrible, but the Botox takes away the sweating for up to 6 months.  If you have had the surgery, be prepared that from the damage the surgery does, Botox results can last for up to 3 months, but for me never longer.  Insurance can cover it though, and I have had it approved through BCBS."


"I have been taking Effexor XR for about 3 weeks now for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. For the first three days I felt a little dizzy but continued with the medication and the dizziness went away once my body got used to it. I get a dry mouth and have lost interest in sex and cannot reach orgasm. I do feel a lot more focused at work and can think more clearly. I do find if I don't take the medication right on time around 9am every morning I get a headache and agitated so I try to take it the same time everyday. Despite the dry mouth and loss of sex drive I will continue with it for another month or two and see what happens when I see my doc again."


"I'm 43 years old and I went the 3 years on Nexplanon and just had it removed a week ago.  Let me say I never got pregnant on it, so it did it's job.  However, at the beginning I bled so much and so long, that intimacy was few and far between.  And that sucked because it did not drop my sex drive, just the ability to have it.  Then after about a year, my period went to about 7-9 straight days a month, every month, with sporatic spotting to bleeding in between.  I used to be very regular 2-3 days a month, every month and that was it.  So I was not one of the fortunate ones that got loss of period.  I was not aware of the weight gain issue until I started reading some of the comments here.  I gained over 40 lbs in the 3 years."


"My nine-year-old son has G551D/deltaF508 CF. He began taking this at six years old, 2 years after it first became available in US.

 He went from being severely underweight to overweight in less than a year. His BMI is weighed over 95 percentile for age 9.

His chronic cough went away within a week. He is not had any respiratory infections since beginning the medication.

This medication is just short of a miracle for him. And I'm not exaggerating. I am a physician who has watched kids and young adults die of cystic fibrosis during my training."


"Well, let me tell you the bad news. Everything taste different. I ate a piece of cake and quickly spit it out. I'm itchy :/ and everything is orange.....everything. But I had severe kidney pain and it vanished over night. I took my medicine immediately after eating and did not notice any nausea. There's a slight itching in that "area," but that's common with a UTI. Hope this helps!"


"Works right like it said it would but heavy bleeding."


"Been taking this for exactly 7 months. Helps a lot!! First month had side effects. Best antidepressant I've tried. I take 10mg 2x per day. Occasionally I take a day off."


"This is a excellent medication I have lost 53lbs only on the injection alone know more hbp or know  more diabetes at all the is a wonder drug..."


"I've suffered from severe, debilitating migraines since I was 30 (I'm now 49). I've been prescribed everything under the sun but Maxalt is the ONLY medication that works for me.  First of all, it dissolves under my tongue so I know that if I vomit, I won't throw it up.  Secondly, and especially if I take it at the first sign of a migraine, it usually only takes about 30 minutes to kick in and fully eradicate my migraine.  Imitrex and the others I've been on haven't worked or haven't worked as completely as Maxalt. I consider it a life saver."


"1 star rating for the pills. 10 stars for the cream.

I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and bacterial vaginitis simultaneously. I was prescribed the pill form of Flagyl for the bacterial vsginitis. I was very nauseous after beginning the course of Flagyl and within 24 hours I began vomiting profusely. I vomited/dry heaved every 2 hours for about 12 hours. Since I couldn't even keep down water, much less food or the pills, the vomiting subsided.

I contacted my doctor first thing the following morning and she prescribed the Metronidazole Vaginal Cream. It worked amazingly well and cleared up the the bacterial vaginitis. I had a slight yeast infection following treatment that cleared up well with over the counter cream."


"Took this medicine last night.  Worst experience I have ever had with medicine.  I began sweating felt wired up could not sleep at all.  This is a bad drug.  I have not felt right at all since taking it.  Would not recommend this at all."


"Works almost immediately but effect wears off quickly also - lasts maybe 1/2 hr. However even a few minutes of pain relief is good at this point. I have tendonitis and rotator cuff damage."


"I have been on saxenda for almost a year now and have been doing very well. I have been eating one plate of food instead of three. You have to drink plenty of water to flush the toxins out of your body. You have to limit wine to only 5 oz. per day because if you drink too much while taking the saxenda, the saxenda has no effect on the weight loss."


"First off. Side effects.... Brain zaps. Pounding heart, foggy feeling. First 3 weeks I felt the need for a lot less Ativan. The worry stopped and blood pressure came down . I'm on 5mg per day. Around week 5 I started to notice my blood pressure going back up. Acid reflux and a little nausea. Pounding heart back. I don't want to give up on buspar because I was so happy to lose the everyday worry. On week 7 now. Still at 5mg. Thinking about doing 5mg twice a day. There is no magic pill, but this was close."


"The only drug that works for me"


"Been on this for about a year, 100mg. Took away my libido, I still get depressed/suicidal, still self harming. It's made me lose my self. I've been told that BPD can only SOMETIMES be managed with medications.  I also take an antidepressant 75mg. It helps if you get good support- good therapist and good doctor.  I really hope they come up with better things to treat bpd."


"Lexapro SAVED MY MARRIAGE...to my husband of one year. After a few bad years of terrible MOOD SWINGS, verbal and Physical abuse[he battered his kids mother years ago and was jailed], irrational behavior, defiance, his obsessive *porn* addiction, lying about $$/secretive personality.. I am finally able to say that this medicine has CHANGED him and he is NOT a MONSTER anymore..His obsessive nature is GONE. I cried the first week he got on it and thanked God over and over..We tried two rounds of counseling combined with going to  church and the rage wouldnt go away so a relative of his suggested he take Celexa because he had the same disorder..He was put on Lexapro instead..I am VERY HAPPY now.."


"no more swollen feet and ankles"


"The only positive thing about this pill is I didn't get pregnant. For the 6 months I've been on it I've had 2 periods a month and cramped horribly every time. I workout at a minimum of 7 times a week, running miles, weight training etc. and I gained weight on this pill, quickly. I just stopped taking it, it's not worth all the negative side effects."


"I rate Tamiflu highly, I was given it three days ago after contracting suspected swine flu and it has done the job very well. I did after taking the first tablet feel really sick but apart from that I had no other side effects."


"I've taken Zoloft off and on within the last 3 years. I do much better with it. I went from being so low that I couldn't take care of myself because of anxiety and depression. With Zoloft and better life circumstances I am doing much better. I'm actually happy! Right now I'm on 25 milligrams. Sometimes I'm on 50. When I had postpartum blues, 100 milligrams was necessary to feel positive."


"NEVER again will I purchase this product. I NEVER do reviews but I figured it let the next woman know so that she won't experience the pain and agony I'm currently experiencing! The nurse at my drs office advised me to purchase this product until I was able to be seen in the office. WORSE DECISION EVER! Here I am on day 2 itching and burning like crazy after inserting, mind you I was absolutely fine before doing so. It is HORRIBLE and I cannot wait to call the nurse in the morning!"


"I was prescribed this when I was having preterm labor contractions. They said it would help me relax and sleep and let my body calm down enough for the contractions to stop on their own. Well... The contractions stopped but not until after I tried to convince my husband I was a stegosaurus. I don't remember much, but I do remember feeling very dizzy and nauseous until I eventually passed out. It's not something I will take again, but it did do its job of pain relief."


"This has had more benefit controlling psoriasis on hands and feet over any biologic I've taken over the years. I've yet to find a medication with better results."


"I've taken Cymbalta for almost a year and it was great for depression.  After finally getting to a place in my life that I did not believe I needed the anti-depressants anymore, I decided to go cold turkey.  This day marks the 7th day of not taking anything and I must say the detox is horrible.  Talk to your Docotr before going off this medication, as it has some terrible effects when coming off of it suddenly.  "


"I'm almost finished with my first sample pack of Loestrin 24 and so far so good. The only thing I'm not comfortable with is the brown discharge that I've been having the whole time, but I'm positive it's only because my body has to adjust. This is my first birth control brand and I'm hoping for the best. I took the brown tablets two days ago and it feels like a normal period as far as cramps goes. It's hard to tell whether I'm experiencing insomnia because I'm on summer vacation and stay up until 3am regardless. So far I can't complain, but I do feel a little moodier. Breasts increased size, which I'm completely fine with. I haven't noticed any weight gain, but I wouldn't mind it. We'll see how it goes for the second pack!"


"I had 200mg ( a large dose) of Botox injected into my Bladder in August 2017. I got an infection within days of having the procedure. I went straight into retention. It has now been about 12 weeks since the procedure. I am still having to use catheter and I am never free from infection. I have spent nearly three weeks in hospital due to complications with UTI resulting in Kidney damage.
I am on a very rare Antibiotic that my own GP and local chemist had not heard off. I truly hope that this Antibiotic does the trick as I don't think that I am going to be able to cope with the outcome of the Botox injections for much longer. I wasn't given an Antibiotic after the procedure, the outcome may have been different if I had."


"Stage IIIc Lobular breast CA, node ,
Started generic Femara 18 months ago after radiation. Minor side effects- hair loss, nails, skin, vaginal dryness. Major- started out with tolerable joint, bone and muscle pain. But about a month ago, these symptoms became severe enough to decrease my quality of life. My oncologist did blood work, all okay. She wanted a bone scan but after ready reviews, this is the Femara not bone cancer. She just has not had amy Patients do this, the literature is based on trials not general population. The literature( and she told me) the symptoms go away by 8 months! Not!!
I also have MS ( still mobile, but that has some same/ similar side affects) but Femara more like arthritis. Knees, ankles. Stay on though!"


"Began yaz on the 20th of August because I was diagnosed with endometriosis and it caused me to have a 23 day period. 3 days after my period came again for 9 days and it was extremely painful worse than ever before and very heavy. I stopped using yaz at that point and now 6 days after here I am again with a next period heavy and painful. Wish I had never used this drug. Worst experience ever. Hoping to go back to a normal cycle soon because this is uncomfortable."


"Fast acting relief felt in the first day"


"2 months of clomid it didn't help me at all going to see my Gyn next week I'm not ovulating or releasing eggs and having abnormal minstrel cycles"


"I'm going to start this off by saying I was that girl who searched up every ache or pain I was having to see if it was a sign of pregnancy. I worried myself sick (I'm only 18 and leaving for my first year of college in a few weeks) I take regular birth control for acne but I wasn't very consistent. I had sex for the first time with my boyfriend and the condom broke, just our luck. Me being paranoid made him run out to the local Pharmacy and buy My Way and I took it within 4 hours of the incident. I had nausea for about a week, I was fatigued, my breasts were extremely sore after about 3 weeks, I had cramping and lower stomach pain. My period was about a week late, but I got it! RELAX. This pill works! Trust me!"


"I have IBS plus I'm lactose intolerant and have struggled with this for 5 years now so far and for 3 years I was unable to enjoy a meal because as soon as I ate, I was in the bathroom. When I take imodium now for the past 2 years, I can actually eat meals and it wont bother my stomach. I feel normal and go to the bathroom normally but if I miss a day and don't take the pills, I am back to going to the bathroom after every meal. Imodium has really helped me. Especially when it triggers in the morning, so it helps me to be able to go to work at 5am. There are somedays I didn't have pills and could not go into work because I could not stop using the bathroom. I love imodium!"


"I have been on this medication for 22 years. I have a weird vagatone form of a-fib.I was on Procanimide for 10 years, but developed chemically induced lupus. After 4 hospitalizations and 3 cardio conversions, Norpace CR was the only drug that worked comfortably for me. Unfortunately it is currently out of production and not scheduled to be available again until March, 2018 ( today is 9/1/17. This has happened several times in recent years, there is no generic CR. MSs don't like it as it is an old drug and is contraindicated with 400 other medicines under 1200 brand names, but it works for me when most of the new drugs don't. I am 65 now and my EP wants to do a pacemaker which I intend to postpone as long as possible."


"I have struggled with social phobia, anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. 6 months ago my psychiatrist prescribed Neurontin and I can say that my life has completely changed. I feel like a new person, I feel no side effects and the best part is that it works immediately and can be taken when needed. For someone like me this is a miracle."


"Good,  no side effects, other then depression.  Finally found a way to control acne.  Once the doctors coupon ended so did my prescription and the depressed feeling of a drug company playing, got you hooked now pay up, began. College student that can not afford hundreds of dollars a month to stay on it.  College insurance and family insurance does not cover doctors recommended treatment drug."


"I've had mine since April and love it. Other than longer and heavier periods, it is great"


"I have used this drug since the 1960s.  It is the best thing on the market for allergies or the beginning of a cold."


"The first dose gave me muscle pain and weakness that left me in bed trying not to move in an attempt to minimize the pain. For two days every breath I took was accompanied by significant pain. Because even though I was laying as still as possible, I still needed to breathe
I was assured that the pain is milder the second time around. They were right, the pain did not outweigh my will to move. Which was fortunate because I had nausea and vomiting the next day. My doctor was able to prescribe anti nausea meds, which helped significantly. I suggest anyone who takes this have someone who can help them out the next few days. Just in case."


"I'm on my 2nd month of taking Loestrin 24. I went to my doctor 2 months ago because I had not had a period during the 5 months prior to the visit. She prescribed to me from what I can recall oxyprogesterone, she told me it should start my period within 2-3 days. It didn't come until 2 weeks later so then I finally started taking Loestrin 24. That WHOLE first month I bled, some days it was just average bleeding, some light, and just a handful of days bad cramping and heavy. Now being on my 2nd month of this pill I'm on the 3rd week row of the pill pack and I'm already starting my period early. The only side effects I've noticed from taking this pill is my breasts have grown half a cup size, no nausea or weight gain so far."


"I went without night time sleep for 3 months even more.  I was about ready for the hospital.  Clonazepam was the miracle that gave sleep back to me.  I am grateful to this medicine.  I have bipolar disorder.  The other mood stabilizer that is now working better than any others I have been on is Lamictal.  I am really happy to where I've come to be.  It's a good place."


"My first pack, it's been fine for me. I usually experience a bit of nausea with birth control pills and this one wasn't too bad at all! Breasts are pretty tender and seem to have grown a bit. I love that its so cheap and does what it's intended to do. Before this my insurance wouldn't cover birth control so to me this is a God send. "


"My period is light but I have experienced at least 1 week a month of "unscheduled bleeding" which makes up for the benefit of having a light period.  Slight mood swings.  I preferred regular Loestrin.  "


"I got the Mirena 6 months ago and had non-stop problems from the start. While the insertion went smoothly, I had terrible cramps for the next month. My periods got much worse (I never had heavy bleeding or cramps during my period). After one particularly bad cramping episode, I went to my doctor who, after a sonogram, found that the Mirena had worked its way into the lower part of my uterus (it seemed like my body was rejecting it). I also developed a 4cm ovarian cyst which is a listed side effect of the Mirena. I had the IUD taken out last week and I feel back to my normal self. I am not saying that Mirena isn't a good option, as I know many people that love it. It was DEFINITELY not right for me."


"I've had this since January 12 and my period has been off ever since.  I get killer headaches. Acne, sore breast and mild cramping but regardless its very helpful because I don't have to do anything like worry about missing a dose. It's still the best birth control I've ever had."


"I got the implant a little over a year ago and for the first 7ish months it was good. I had practically no period except maybe a little spotting every other month or so that lasted like 24 hours.

But for the past 5ish months I've been bleeding LITERALLY non stop. My face is almost always broken out & before this I would MAYBE get like one pimple during a period... also I have pretty significant mood swings.

I'm probably getting it removed and going back to the pill. I've heard pretty much everyone I know that has gotten it has had it removed within a year-a year in a half. It's unfortunate because it is very effective birth control which is why I am hesitant to remove it and have tried waiting so long. But the side effects are unbearable"


"I have had chronic pain since 2002. I have Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)  in low back both legs below knee both feet. Long story short I have been on pretty much every pain med there is. Had over 200 nerve blocks. Had nerve endings burned off. PT you name it. Now I have a medicine dosing machine inside my abdomen with a cath that runs directly into my spinal cord. I tried this hyslinga it's worked great. I'm surprised so many people have not had relief from it. But if I didn't have the pump implant I'm pretty sure I would be on the highest dose they make."


"I had the WORST reaction to this medicine. I was on 20mg and my body rejected it terribly. The first few days were fine and then after the 4th day or so I became very glazed over and out of it. It was as if I was a walking zombie. I then started waking up in the middle of the night having severe panic attacks. I had never had one before so I was very scared. My doctor told me to come off of it and the withdraw from this was even worse. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the hospital. Overall I had a very negative experience but my mom takes this medicine and she loves it. Could just depend on the person I guess."


"Im 17 years old, 5'4 and weigh 113 pounds. Got my first injection on May 22nd. First few days was fine, got it while I was on my period so it was immediately effective. First week was fine but after a while I began spotting and since then I have been on a constant period with occasional cramps. I already suffer from some anxiety issues which Depo-Provera has intensified but I expected this. Feel dizzy when I'm laying down to go to sleep but its gone by morning. No change in sex drive but I've noticed most people's decrease. The site of injection hurt a little for 3-4 days but now I can't feel it. Have little energy and can't walk to school anymore because I'm constantly too tired. Wont be getting this injection again, going to try Nexplanon implant."


"I have excruciating pain due to Psoriatic Arthritis (hip joints) and Recurring Painful Sciatica due to my Lumbar issues (herniated L2-3; bulged L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1,; borderline stenosis L2-3; 5mm perineural cyst L3-4). My PC sent me to a pain management specialist, who prescribed me to BUTRAN skin patch 5 micro-gram which never worked to reduce pain.  The instruction was to start TRAMADOL-HCL 50mg per day, 7 days after Butran. " Only 4 days"  into TRAMADOL, I woke up in the morning with stabbing pain in my right eye. My upper right eyelid was warm to the touch with tears in it. In the mirror, it was reddish color and swelled up. Called the doctor immediately. Without reducing it actually increased pain."


"My daughter, after using Beyaz for 6 months, developed bruises, swollen lumps, joint pain, and finally she needed to use crutches to walk. We saw many doctors, but none knew what to do. So on our own, we decided she should go off off Beyaz, and the symptoms slowly disappeared. 9 months later, they are gone, thankfully, but it was a nightmare!"


"I wish I could give this a zero! I was on this for almost two years. It was the worst mistake I ever made. I took them continually (never having a period) I only did this because I was having diverticulitis flares with every menstrual so my Dr teamed up and needed me to stop my periods for awhile. I gained 40 pounds, had zero sex drive. It did interfere with my marriage. I was sad, depressed and moody. Had no energy.. then came the panic attacks. I've never had those before. Luckily by chance a round of antibiotics I was taking for a UTI made me have break through bleeding so my Dr said to get off and allow my body to have a period. I'll never get back on them. Pls be careful on these pills!!!!!"


"I have just started taking suboxone again, I was on it for 6 months in Virginia and I did very well on this medication. I moved to Tennessee and ran out and relapsed until I could get back on Suboxone. If you are really ready to stop usuing then Suboxone is very effective. I dont think I could do it without it. Suboxone not only changed my life, it saved my life."


"Dosage 250mg 1/c daily initially caused drastic strain on liver and overwhelming sedation. 30days of 125mg 2/c daily significantly reduced liver and kidney pain while improving emotional stability, depression, impulsivity & patience with interpersonal relationships. Recommend in conjunction with an antipsychotic for people with BPD/Emotion-Impulse Regulation Dysfunction."


"After years of just dealing with what my ever-fleeting groups of friends called "moody-behavior" (I never seemed to keep friends more than a year). I decided to get therapy, but cognitive behavioral therapy, my therapist kept hinting for me to see a psych and get medicines, at least for the depression. After months of pressure I relented and decided to just see my GP and ask for anti-depressants. Needless to say they didn't work and made me feel distant yet anxious, constantly anxious and at the ready. I waited to see if my body would adjust, it didn't. I quit. I reached out to a recommended psych and was given a script for Lamotrigine, as I went up in dosage (to 200mg) I started to notice that life made sense. It was/is a NEW DAY."


"6'3" and 314 lbs when I started Contrave nearly 3 weeks ago.  I'm still ramping up the dosage.  Right now I'm at 304.  No side effects so far for me.  Appetite is way down and cravings nearly gone.  Have to watch my blood sugar closely from getting too low.    Ramping down on diabetes meds.  Blood pressure is lower than it has been in years.  Portion control is much easier than I ever remember."


"I am a 27 year old 5'2 women. My weight started at 242lbs on March 1st. I lost 8lbs in a month teaching myself how to eat right. I just went to the doctor on April 21st and he gave me Adipex for 30 days. I started taking it on the 22nd and today is the 25th and I have lost 7lbs in 4 days. I do have dry mouth, nausea, headache at night and have trouble sleeping. I don't have that burst of energy I hear so many talk about. I have not started working out yet, but tonight I will start that. I too do not crave sweets and I also am a huge coke drinker and I haven't wanted one since I started. All I want is water and that's a good thing. This is my first time taking Adipex and so far I am very happy with it."


"This has been a lifesaver for me for anxiety and insomnia.  I was on Zoloft 75mg for the last 5 months and it was of little benefit.  I've only been on 7.5 mg of Remeron for 7 days but the results have been great, (still also on 75mg of Zoloft). Remeron gives me a good 8-9 hours of sleep every day, a strong appetite (I lost 25 pounds in 5 months when I began to have these problems).  My energy level is returning to normal.  90% of my anxiety is gone.  It is nothing short of a miracle.  Yes, I feel a bit groggy & dopey for an hour or two after I wake up but that is a small price to pay for me getting my life back."


"I was scared to try this birth control cause of all the negative feedback I was reading, but I got it inserted in October 2010 and the first three days were scary because I felt a rush of hormones (like if you took 2 birth control pills at once).  I am very sensitive to birth control, so I was scared because I thought that I would have the worst reaction.  But, after 3 days, the "hormonal feeling" subsided and I have had maybe three periods in 6 months and all have been light and easy.  I have had no weight gain and nothing really negative to say about it at all!  And, I am not pregnant, phew!"


"I didn't know anything about Mirena except that it was a little T-shaped piece of plastic that lasts for 5 years.  So I chose to get it. I've had slight occasional cramping and rare bleeding that's very light and only lasts a few hours when it does occur.  I've had it in for about 2 1/2 years.  The only scary thing is reading the horror stories all these women have about it.  I have had no problems since it's insertion aside from terrible cramping for about a half hour while my cervix adjusted to it once it was put in.  I know that as long as nothing bad ends up happening that I'll be having it replaced once my 5 years is up.  I love Mirena."


"I have been on this pill for a few weeks, and it has caused me to cry constantly! I feel depressed ALL THE TIME, and I have no appetite. So, this pill isn't for me."


"I've been on this BC for about 4 months and I've really had no problems with it. I have had a lost of appetite but nothing to severe I also missed a period one month but that hasn't happen again and my periods have been really light and short. No mood swings. Some acne but not much more the usual."


"I started taking Wellbutrin (150mg) during an extreme depressive episode. It helped even me out a lot, though it didn't address all of my symptoms. I increased the dose to 300mg but had to drop back down because I was having trouble sleeping. This is the only side effect I've experienced while on this medication. I've been on it for a year and a half now and overall it has helped a lot. I'm still depressed but I'm no where near as bad as before taking Wellbutrin. I'm looking into adding an SSRI or something as an adjunct therapy to try to make things even better."


"Have been on phenomine 30MG now for the past 4 days and have lost 4 lbs. I have been having dry mouth. my starting weight was 270lbs. I'll post an update in 21days."


"I started taking this for fibromyalgia, due to the reports that naltrexone helps with fibro pain. I also qualified for the weight loss  part of the medication, so my doctor was fine prescribing it to me. I could not tell it has done anything for weight loss but my pain is 98% gone.  I can't do the full dose as it tends to keep me up at night I have found three a day works great for me.
 I'm wondering if anyone else has taken this for Fibro"


"I'm 18 and a first time user for depression medicines. I was just given 50mg of this to start out and so far it has helped a lot and it's only been three days. I haven't had any energy for a month and just wanted to sleep all the time but now I'm doing things like cleaning and going out! The only problem is it makes me sick and I've had headaches, dilated pupils and sleep problems but it is worth it and I'm sure it'll get better as the days go by."


"First time ever using birth control. I've only had it for a couple days now and aside from the pain, I have no complaints. The procedure hurt far worse than expected, but Ibuprofen has been a great help with that. I've had severe pelvic region pain since, had times I could barely move/walk but I'm pushing through the pain and making it work until insurance allows me to have it removed."


"I took Bactrim for a spider bite that was infected. The nausea and vomiting was unbearable but my wound was almost gone after a day. I think I would rather have vomiting than have an infection. "


"I am man and I have rosacea from 13 years. today 19 years Dr to try me accutane 20 mg 4 times a week and my rosacea to improved.  I  took 4 months of treatment and will be updating as I will going ."


"I have been on Remicade for nearly 4 years.  Prior to that I had a variety of Crohn's issues including two surgeries for peri-anal fistulas, severe fatigue and lots of other fun stuff.  I have been very lucky in that I have responded very well to the stuff and now most days I am fortunate enough to forget I have the disease.  I was apprehensive about potential side effects but to date have experienced none.  Prior to Remicade I took a few medications which did absolutely nothing but the Remicade had a pronounced effect within 24 hours of my first infusion.  If you have Crohn's or Colitis would seriously consider an anti TNF blocker (haven't used any of the others) and stay the hell away from steroids."


"Sometimes use it. Really good effect, my wife happy! Erection is very strong and long, and absolutely no side effects for me."


"This medicine has been a life saver. Although I don't have ibs, I do have generalized anxiety, which can cause a variety of unpleasant ibs-like symptoms. My doctor first tried me on various antidepressants; however, none of them worked. Paxil was by far the worst. It made me sleep 12+ hours a day, it made me feel like a zombie--I lost my sex drive and all of my motivation to do school work--and it made me suicidal. Although I have had some pretty terrible experiences with anxiety, I've never been suicidal, so I knew I had to get off Paxil ASAP. If it wasn't for Librax, I wouldn't have been able to get through my junior year of college. This medicine isn't a "cure all," but it does allow me to function as normally as possible."


"Her 2 positive breast cancer stage 3: Early detection, cancer removed.Had blockage of cancer in 1 lymph node: good: it blocked cancer from spreading, bad: gave me stage 3 harsher protocol from studies .I had 6 months of 3 types of chemo every 21 days. Then 6 more months of Herceptin only(newest Trojan chemo drug on the market) very expensive.Had 6 weeks of radiation every day of the business week. I have been on Arimidex now for 3.5 years & effects are making me wonder why I'm living daily like this in pain etc, I'm 65 now. I have all the harsh symptoms, newest is my jaw cracking and sticking.With all that chemo drug therapy including this drug, surgery & radiation I'm choosing to stop .,.Its hard to rate, so I gave a 5."


"I've been on Bystolic for a few weeks, and it's true that it controlled my rate very quickly. I have had a fast heart rate with apparently no cause they can discover. Like an average of 95, then 105 walking. Now, the rate is 68.  Amazing.  My pressure was also higher and now, it's better."


"I have 2 phobias in my life. The first one being spiders, the other one is public speaking. I think we all get the same symptoms from performance anxiety/public speaking. I.E trembling hands, weak voice, heart rushing and face blushing and we all know how embarrassing it is. Now the thing with propranolol is that you will feel as anxious and afraid as always the moments before your presentation, but as soon as you start talking and notice that no physical symptoms appears, the anxiety goes away. Like, in less than a minute. This drug has saved my life and my career and I'm so thankful. Had a presentation today for 35 ppl, first time in 3 years. And propranolol made me nail the presentation, without ANY physical symptoms. I took 60mg."


"I have been prone to getting yeast infections... I get rid of them then they seem to come back in no time. Anyways I decided to give this stuff a try because you can use it at anytime of the day (many other products you can only use at nighttime) I used it in the middle of the day and all of my symptoms were gone the next day... it took about 24 hours but it seemed my yeast infection was completely cured. I know it takes longer for it to be completely out of your system but all of the symptoms were gone and I no longer felt like a had a yeast infection. I am not sure if it was just the diflucan that got rid of it, as I decided to take a double dose of probiotic the same day, but whatever it was seemed to work."


"I love Saphris.  Best thing that ever happened to me.  No other medicine compares.  Down side, it's so expensive.  I get samples from my psychiatrist, but I will be moving out of state soon and I am so afraid I won't be able to afford Saphris.  It's the only medicine that gave me the least amount of side effects and lets me lead a normal life."


"I have been taking Requip for 5 years.  It took it for several months to get used to it but have been doing well. I titrated up to 14 mgs per day but found that I became restless, agitated and somewhat obsessive. I backed off to 10 mgs and feel fine. Levodopa/Carbidopa was added 3 years ago to control painful dystonia.  I have not had any episodes of falling asleep."


"I bought Dulcolax after being constipated for a week and googling some good medicine. I took one pill and after I took it, I came to this website and read the reviews. I got really scared! But nothing happened except for being really thirsty (drank around 2L of water). Two days after, I took two tablets. I waited for a while and the cramps started: nothing much, it was painful but it wasn't unberable. 15min after the first cramps I was done.
My advice: if you never took it, start with one and see how you feel. And don't get scared by reviews, everyone reacts diffently."


"Couldn't ask for anything more. I wanted friends and a better relationship, and that's what I got, and so much more. I have my life, energy and happiness back. I've been taking Celexa for about a month now, and I feel so much better."


"Lyrica worked (for 2 weeks) when I first began taking 75mg then it stopped helping at all ...now @ 100mg 3 times a day it still is ineffective.."


"I been on it for a month and so far I have had no major side affects and I like it haven't have a period yet and like it but haven't had much of a sex drive other than that love it"


"Maybe shouldn't have been writing a review at this point. 1st day taking Chantix, took 1st pill about 2 hours ago, no nausea experienced, positive reaction, I hope. Praying the rest of the journey is as positive as my first pill. Thanks for all the positive  input from Chantix users, it made my mission to quit smoking even more certain. Will keep informed!!!"


"Given one shot Rocephin (IM, dorsogluteal) for severe UTI.  Shot a little painful, but experienced relief of abdominal discomfort within about 30 minutes.  Some bruising, but definitely worth it for the quick relief."


"I am 46 and found that I was not consistently staying hard after prolonged sex or masturbating. My recovery time after orgasm seemed like days. I am not on any other medication, very active, and eat healthy. I also do not smoke or drink alcohol. I decided to bring it up and get a sample. I was pleasantly surprised! I did get a flush feeling that went away. Also, I might get a slight headache the next morning but can be cleared up by taking something. However, the benefits were solid erections when turned on. It also lasts, like others mentioned, into the next day but not as strong. Again, you must be turned on for this to work. If you are not attracted, in the mood, or desensitized/overworked then it may not work well."


"Nothing worked for me until my doctor gave me samples of Dexilant. I had tried everything over the years. My world changed, the pain went away, and I have no side effects.

I know it's very expensive and I have to get authorization from my insurance company, but it's well worth it. I wouldn't be able to function on a daily basis without it."


"This is the first birth control and the only birth control I will ever try, I love it! I became sexually active about 9 months ago and decided to have the birth control at hand. I read all these reviews and became so scared but I'm glad I tried it for myself! Me and my boyfriend don't use condoms but I've taken my birth control on time every day at the SAME TIME. I have never had weight gain nausea or vomiting even in the beginning. I have had a pregnancy scare since I've been on it and I get my period every fourth week of my cycle. I will continue this medicine until I decide to have children. Also I've had bad acne for years and to be honest it hadn't all went away but it has not gotten worse at all."


"I've had a terrible experience with migraines and tried multiple prevention medications. I have been hospitalized multiple times as well for DHE, and now have the injections at home. My first prevention med for migraines was nortriptyline and it made me feel even worse, I do not recommend. I had terrible side effects from it lasting over a week after I had stopped the medication. I've been on topamax for months for 7 months now and it helped at first but my headaches have gotten so bad I'm decreasing it. But I recommend over nortriptyline. I've now started gabapentin and this has actually helped with my pain component. Beta-blockers can also be a good preventative, I'm on nadolol as well."


"I LOVE the Nuvaring. It's great, no side effects, and there's no way to forget. I haven't gained any weight or had terrible mood swings. My usually long and heavy period is now only 3 or 4 days and pretty light. The only bad thing is it seems to pull the condom off when I'm having sex. This has happened 4 times since I've been using it and I usually can't get it out until the next day (with some work) I end up pulling out the ring and the condom comes out with it. I asked my doctor and she said she's never heard of this. Hope this helps if anyone else has this happen, but in comparison to all the alternatives...NUVARING IS AWESOME."


"Works well without any side effects."


"I'm 15 and This is my 1 night using monistat 7 and boy do I tell you! The itch is extremely bad!!! The itch is coming from the inside and I'm in tears of how bad it itches! It's so bad I've lost track of time but I've been itching now for about 40 mins and its eased just a bit, no more crying but I'll continue the product"


"I was  diagnosed with bipolar when I was fifteen years old. I have been on several other medications and stopped taking them when I was eighteen and did not take them for ten years. I developed substance issues with alcohol and drugs to try and self medicate. I had a lot of personal and social problems. I was put on Zyprexa less than a week ago and it has quite literally saved my life and my current marriage. I have not experienced any side effects. I take only 5mg once a day in conjunction with lithium. WOW!"


"I've been taking 10 mg of Lexapro for almost 4 months now. Before I started Lexapro, I was very depressed and I wanted to end my life. Now that I am taking Lexapro the depression is gone but with a few side effects. I am thankful for this medication, but it does make me feel emotionless, restless, tired and I now have an extreme lack of motivation. I plan on talking to my doctor about this soon and hopefully I can find a better medication that will suit me better."


"I wanted a implant in but suddenly I just went for this Evra patches. They are amazing. I didn't get any side effects. It helped me a lot, but you have to keep this in mind that you have to use them properly. I missed couple of days and got pregnant straight away. I would recommend these to everyone. "


"After reading some of the reviews I noticed I have Experienced A LOT of the same side effects some have you all have. I been on the Nexplanon for almost three years, I was so young when I got I never really noticed the side effects until now I never even thought that my birth control could be the cause of some of the things I have went through. My periods were super irregular I knew that was one of the side effects though I use to bleed a lot I was always spotting or on my period , not so much now I get the worst headaches ever out of nowhere and its so hard for me to get turned on. I'm never really in the mood for sex. My Nexplanon expires in August but reading these reviews & finally figuring the cause I need this removed."


"It has been a tremendous improvement for me.  Before the medication, I was unable to play in the yard with my children because of constant urges and frequent incontinence.  Now (with the medication) I am training for my first 5K run.  The urges are gone and I'm able to use the bathroom like a normal person.  I don't have the fear of an accident like I did before.  It's amazing!"


"My entire life since a young child I've been fighting post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. I didn't even know it until I was about 22. I was in a very bad car accident and it changed my life and worsened my anxiety. My panic attacks were so bad I'd be just sobbing and screaming and crying and freaking out in waves throughout the whole day. I finally sucked up my pride and admitted something was wrong and I needed to see a Doctor. I went and he immediately put me on 20 mg dose. It was great I did calm down quite a bit and when I'd have flashbacks it came without panic attacks. It's been a year and I've hit the poop-out. I was at 40mg 4 months ago and now I'm at 5mg and take Wellbutrin XL for this last month to regain my energy. ITS WORKING."


"I tried Testim samples and found its fragrance revolting and it did not dissipate through the day.  I cannot imagine smelling as if I applied cologne every day of my life.  And I really ripped into the manufacturer's stupidity on their website.  One thing any man with hypogonadism wants is for no one but his doctor and lover to know he has hypogonadism.  Walking around with the same strong scent everyday would be odd in an office environment and no doubt someone would ask what the cologne name is.  It is so thoughtless."


"I've been taking Microgestin for almost a year now. It has been great at preventing pregnancy. The first three months I got mood swings bad, but now it works great! Absolutely love the pill!"


"Face cleared. Gained 5 pounds. No vomiting for me or irregular mood swings. Also my periods are very very precise. Only bad thing is the super decreased limbo. Just don't care for it anymore it seems"


"It was a pretty good sleep aid overall.  I did not build a tolerance, but decided to stop using it because it left a bad taste in my mouth.  As soon the bitter taste kicked in I could easily fall asleep.   I could get a full 8 hours of good sleep on it.. too bad the taste lasted until noon the next day and nothing could get the taste away."


"I'm 55 years old and in reasonably good health but noticed I was losing it about 5 years ago to the point where my wife and I were having very little sex.  I got scammed in one of those ED clinics, tried a pump (it was awkward and not that effective) and then I tried Viagra.  While it worked, it gave me the worst headaches and sinus along with severe flushing, which was bad for my complexion.  Finally I went and saw a good urologist who steered me to Cialis. Unbelievable!  On 20 mg I must have had sex 15 times over a long weekend, something not done since we were in our twenties.  The residual effect of this medicine is amazing.  My wife is a very happy woman."


"Started Trilipix about one month ago, experiencing unbelievable pain in ankle areas having trouble walking.  Contacting physician today regarding pain.  Suspect pain is related to this drug."


"I get YI often and have used Monistat 7 before.  Tried 3 today and I spent thirty minutes in the shower trying to get the stuff out of me.  Started with itching a couple minutes after insertion and now I'm burning and wondering why I did this to myself. I recently had my gut checked out and they found lots of yeast which explains a lot.  Started a probiotic and cut out gluten, dairy, and sugar. This helped and has proven a less regretful decision to taking Monistat."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"Bad after taste . Too fishy"


"I've been on Ocella for two days, but those two days my doctor advised me to take a double dose (two pills a night) for these first 2 nights. So far I've had bad nausea, dizziness, headaches, and been extremely tired. I hope that when I start a regular dose these side effects will go away."


"I have been taking this medication for over a year. One excellent side effect is that my insomnia is gone.  I almost gave up on trying antidepressants as nothing seemed to work for me. Then I was prescribed Symbyax and my life changed for the better in just a few days!  This medication is definitely worth a try if you have depression or bi-polar disorder."


"I have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years. I have been through all the NSAID drugs, Celebrex , etc, Methotrexate injections, gold shots, Aspirin in mega doses. I finally found a Doctor who understood. He prescribed oxycontin 40mg 3 times a day for my pain. I still have pain, but it is liveable. I am on disability, and am also able to hold a part-time job. I don't struggle to do simple things like take a shower or do the dishes. This medicine has changed my life."


"This medication combined with Finacea cream saved my skin! I was having terrible localized breakouts that would leave bad scars. Once I started religiously using Oracea and Finacea (to help with redness) my skin looks amazing, I rarely need to wear makeup now.

Only downside is it makes my lips sensitive. The tend to look swollen- which is not such a bad thing.

I would recommend this to anyone dealing with Rosacea."


"This product REALLY works. Vicks Sinex is the only nasal spray that really works and clears up your nose to breathe properly and get some good sleep when you're congested. Always keep it with me when I travel and during winter times. Best product for quick relief!!"


"I have a disorder called RSD/CRPS one of the things this has affected is my hearing and sensitivity to movement so when I have to get in a large crowd or noisy environment like an airport I can take one of these and it dramatically helps since I never know when I will be in a situation like that. It is nice to be able to take a quick acting medicine to help. It does a great job"


"I can't find the 0 for this crappy poison pill. I'm 3 years out and still suffer pains and other toxicity symptoms , do you research before taking this horrible pill , I talk a least with 2 new people everyday damage by this pill"


"I've always been somewhat emotional, but at the age of 16 I was feeling really sad. I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now, first 20 mg and eventually upped to 40 mg daily. At 19, I started getting panic attacks and high anxiety. My doctor put me on Effexor XL, which caused weight gain and made me feel worse. I was switched to Welbutrin 150 mg daily and the combination of Lexapro and Welbutrin seemed to help. The past few months, I have been upped on Welbutrin to 300 mg. I have to say, Lexapro doesn't come in generic and is VERY expensive, especially with no insurance. Don't forget to take your Lexapro, because the withdrawal can be bad."


"Been on patch going on 2 months. I love it. Notice boobs are getting bigger and a little sensitive. I place the patch on my buttock and put waterproof band aids to prevent it from unsticking due to bathing. I also learned to attach new patch before removing old 1 it decrease the sick feeling. I take one a day vitamins to prevent feeling sleepy. So far so good."


"So I had the ParaGuard for 2 years 2 months before I had it removed last Friday.  I really enjoyed the ParaGuard and my husband enjoyed it as well.  I had heavier periods for the most part while having the IUD inserted.  Up until recently my periods where retiring to normal.  Now your asking why did you have it removed?? I noticed that I was a weeks late for my period and I had breast tenderness.  So I thought to myself no way or can I really be pregnant?  So I took a pregnancy test a week and two days ago and of course it was positive.  I thought to myself I have two kids already I'm almost 33 and I have an IUD how can this be.  So if you get the IUD just keep in mind you could be part of the 1% that gets pregnant like me."


"I have been on Qsymia for 2 weeks now, started at 305 and 295 as of last night. I haven't experienced any side effects to this date. I have use the app "Lose It" to keep up with my food intake and also brought the Lose it scale. I found drinking water in large amounts helps with the dry mouth. Looking to lose 91lbs, will update soon."


"One of the biggest draw backs to this medication is the cost. My insurance pays 80% and I end up paying 35/ month.

I have had some improvements to my pain and sleep and while I am thankful for any gains the lack of a generic makes for a barrier. I am not seeing the improvements I would have liked for the cost. &

Oh and a caution it interacts with a lot of other medications used to treat fibromyalgia so consult your pharmacist before taking.

I regularly end up skirting the fine line of seratonin syndrome with the cocktail I am taking for my fibromyalgia with no depression."


"I've been prescribed this birth control since my 6 week checkup February 14th but I didn't start taking pills until March 12th After sexual intercourse, but I wasn't taking them everyday like I should. My period still came on a couple days early and was regular but I have cramps even after my period. A couple of days ago April 8th I started taking the pills everyday and the cramping are starting to decrease but I have headaches and My stomach bubbled up like I had diarrhea & I felt nauseous at one point ."


"I like many other reviewers have grown up on Privine Nasal Drops/Spray. I bought all I could last year hearing it was to be discontinued. Now I don't know what else to use. Privine was very mild on my nasal membranes and I didn't get nose bleeds like I do with other brands. Please please please bring it back!!!!!"


"Middle of the road so far.  Agree that this is expensive.  I am using with pump therapy to counter those quick spikes after a meal and combine this with a normal or extended bolus.  Overall A1Cs range from 5.9% - 6.4% and this is being used to fine tune."


"Works good definitely helps stay asleep. Can make you a little dizzy."


"This really works. I was amazed at the results, almost bedridden took the pill felt better within 24 hours, still tired the body aches and flu like feeling mostly gone. Didn't believe it would work but it does."


"I am a 15 year old female experiencing acne from puberty. I was prescribed the medication by my dermatologist. I am also using Acanya un the morning with Neutrogena SPF. In addition, I am moisturizing with Cetaphil.
At first I noticed the treatment was working well besides mild stinging and redness, but after three weeks I am now having an increase in white heads in areas I have never had any problems with like my cheeks and chin. The acne seems to be small fine bumps that are deep under my skin - I believe theses are called closed comodones. Hopefully this is just the initial breakout."


"I've ALSO never left a review for anything in my life, but reading these responses was a lifesaver for me, so I need to pay it forward. I have been on nuvaring, yaz & orthotricyclen lo over the past 15 years and my skin has been pretty much flawless my whole life (I'm 29). In April 2016 I told my doctor I wanted to switch to whichever birth control had the lowest dose of hormones, as I figured that was just the healthiest thing to do. After a week on this garbage I started having HORRIBLE cystic acne with whiteheads on my chin and some on my jawline. My diet and exercise routine are super solid. I don't eat dairy or gluten. I'm not on any other medications. So it's pretty obvious the loloestrin FE is the culprit here."


"I have no idea what's going on.. I started Triness mid-September and it started to clear up my acne beautifully within 2 months. Best skin I've ever had! Since mid-December until now, however, I've completely regressed, horrible acne on my face and breakouts on my back as well. Has anyone else had the experience of it working, then not? Or any suggestions of whether to switch to Ortho Tri Cyclen instead of the generic?"


"Did an amazing job at getting me back to normal although I still suffer from panic attacks in my sleep. This also helped me greatly with my depression and made me feel normal again. "


"prestiq 200mg . Maybe it was way too strong. The side effects out weighed the effect by absolute miles. Side effects were I couldn't stand up for longer than 4 hours , got dizzy spells ..dropped work  from 8-10 hrs/day too maybe 12 hours a week, had really bad nightmares and
 really bad mood swings
 I felt suicidal,  and continued to have those thoughts for next 3 weeks.
I gained 6kg in 3 weeks .
I had to take valium and mersondyl forte for the down times .
I had erection problems , so viagra to counter act with that. . I cannot say anything good about it
The best remedy was to start walking , biking , sport,  record times and try and beat those times , achievements . I need a sense of accomplishment. valium for down times , had to have it anyway"


"I do take Bentyl on occasion for IBS but wondering if anyone with the Eustachian Tube problem is seeing any relief with Bentyl. My ears are driving me crazy.  I did have a huge weight loss several years ago and my NET seems to think this created my ear problem.  Weight gain seems to be my only option at this point but I am comfortable at my current weight.  Anybody else having the echo/roaring problem???"


"This will be the 6th month I've been on Estarylla, but I'm going to stop taking it & find another birth control. Although it's done its job with preventing pregnancy, this certain pill makes me much more emotionally unstable. Before taking it I was a social & overall happy person but now I get upset over the most insignificant things, push people away, feel anxious/sad more often than I'm happy. :( It's even affected my relationship with my boyfriend bc he thinks I'm always sad around him but it's just this dang pill messing with my emotions! I know medications affect people differently, but from seeing the other reviews just be warned that this pill can increase depression, mood swings, anxiety, etc."


"My doctor put me on this because I was bleeding heavily throughout every month. I have been on birth control for the past 6 years. BeYaz was my last which made me so nauseous, which I never experienced before and constant bleeding. Since my switch to Lo Loestrin, the bleeding stopped, however my cramps right now are severe. I also lost weight on this."


"Albuterol is the best inhaler ever to me. It's fast acting and has a good rapid response. It does it's job and I was furious when they stopped giving Albuterol inhalers. "


"I have had a terrible experience with this drug. First night I took them I started getting light headaches I kept going for three more days before I realized it was the drug. I stopped for one day, my headache cleared up after 24hrs, I started them up again. I was fine until today the second day in the headache was there again, lightly at first but for the last 6 hours it has been a nightmare. I feel like my teeth are trying to get into my brain.

They've also caused insomnia I can't sleep for more than 2-4 hours at a time."


"Got my impant Nov 2014 having it taken out tomorrow.  The pro of having it not having to remember to take a daily pill. Cons in my experience weight gain and not beings able to lose it even with diet and exercise. Acne which I've haven't experience since I was a teenager. Mood swings and depression. First three months I bleed after that my period last two weeks every month.  My period use to last 3 to 5 days. The insertion wasn't too bad with the exception of the needle. But having it removed I will have stitches put in and have a scar. But at this point I can't take it anymore I just want to out. I thought because I'm healthy and fit I wouldn't have negative side affects, but my body didn't respond favorably."


"I got my first shot in June and at first had my normal 5 day period but in July I started bleeding again and been bleeding since. I got my second shot in August and that didn't help. I'm still bleeding and having migraines that I never had before and its October. "


"Been taking this medicine for two years with no outbreaks and no side effects. It's been life changing."


"I first took Lexapro some 4-5 yrs ago for anxiety. I don't think I was depressed just had a lot of anxiety through stress and if I drank, and I'm not talking a lot, a few beers, I would wake up all edgy, not hungover, pure anxiety, but I was feeling like that quite often.  It definitely worked right away and the anxiety ceased.  I eventually stopped taking it because I felt I didn't need it anymore.  4-5 years later, I was going through some serious depression.  My wife at the time suggested perhaps I go back on; this was definitely depression, much more than anxiety.  Anyway, it was disastrous!  The minute I started taking it, the depression got worse!  The Dr. told me to try to get through it for a week or two and I just couldn't."


"Do NOT take this birth control.  I have been on Orsythia for about two years.  My insurance company switched me to Vienva without notifying me.  I figured I'd just try it out to see how it worked out so I wouldn't have to keep reminding my pharmacy to give me Orsythia rather than Vienna.  Anyway, I've only been on this medication for 4 days and have already contacted the pharmacy about paying out of pocket to get my Orsythia pack back.  In only 4 days I am a completely different person.  I've gone through a roller coaster of emotions from anxiety, to anger, to just sobbing for no reason.  Also I've come very close to vomiting because anything other than carbs has made my stomach terribly upset.  I will never take this medication ever again."


"My depression and anxiety left me house bound and unable to pull myself out of bed, incapable of getting into the shower and basic everyday tasks. I'm 1 week into my Zoloft prescription and feeling lows and peaks of the medication. Today is tough which is why I found this site to see how you all feel. Does anyone feel like huge surge of depression? I don't understand the overwhelming feelings today out of the blue?"


"After years of thinking life was over and I would have to live with paranoia in public, voices in my head and uncomfortable horrific feelings for life I tried this and within a month it evenly spreaded what I was once missing in my head from being traumatized by the death of my grandpa. At first my tounge was numb and anxiety was high the next day after taking 40mg at night with food but taking serequel or hydroxzine every 6 hours frequently they coordinated perfect with each other and through out my experience I forgot about the thoughts, delusions, and was able to live my life care free as my psychosis being a bad memory"


"I just started taking it last week and have not noticed any difference yet.  It's expensine, even with my insurance."


"This is my second time on paroxetine after suffering with severe panic attacks and depression, I was a complete wreck but had to do something quickly! I tried all the self help programmes as well but nothing worked! The doctor put me on another medicine first (sertraline). I was in a state after 3 weeks and severe insomnia, weight loss due to no appetite! So I decided to go back to paroxetine. I started on 5mg and slowly went up to 20mg over about 5 weeks, I'm now feeling so much better, this medicine has helped me get back to my old self and I'm thankful for that! I'm in the UK so don't pay insurance."


"I found the medication very helpful with only some nausea lasting a few days but constipation that continued. It was very calming and helped my sleep. Then after about 2 months I began to get pain in all of my joints especially any joint that I may have injured in the past. I was unable to get through a work out at the gym and that is the best treatment for me. The day that I opened a tube of toothpaste and wrenched  the joint in my thumb was when I had to say enough. It has taken now over 3 months to regain my range of motion and to be mostly without pain caused by this medication. After reading the other review about joint pain I felt I should also comment about my experience."


"Works great on pain. I would be bedridden without it."


"I had 2 shots (1 every 6 months) for 2 years, then skipped 6 months.  I plan to begin again next March for bone preservation.  I want to avoid fracture risks.  I had no bad side effects."
