"So I was taking a name brand of this jolviette for about 5 months I loved it worked for me and no symptoms on it at all. Well then my insurance told me I had to switch to optum rx and they gave me this terrible generic it was horrible. I literally only took it for a week I had extreme dizziness also terrible bloating to the point I could hardly eat and I was constipated and super gassy. I was constantly hungry I had gained 2 pounds just from a week I felt hot all the time. I literally felt like I was on a period 24/7, I even had headaches everyday, it got so unbearable I felt like crap 24/7 I couldn't take it. So I stopped the pill and I feel so much better I will be going back on my normal pill and will never be taking this again!"


"I started taking adipex on 3/31/2017 with the starting weight if 213. As of today 4/5/2017, my weight is 205. I'm very excited."


"I have really bad asthma and nothing seemed to help.  I recently started taking Singulair and my asthma has improved unbelievably.  No more wheezing and severe headaches.  I feel like a new person."


"I was put on Breo Ellipta because my asthma is not well controlled on any other medication that I've previously been put on. For the first two weeks or so it gave me a really sore throat but that went away. I haven't had ANY asthma attacks since starting. It's completely stopped any wheezing as well. It's an amazing medication. I went from having several attacks - varying in severity - every day to none at all. It's also free for the first year with a coupon even if you don't have insurance. I'm so thankful for Breo Ellipta. Even if the sore throat wouldve stayed, I wouldn't have stopped using it. The benefits for me far outweigh the cons."


"I had a very serere bladder infection. My urologist prescribed Cipro and it worked like a charm. I didn't suffer any side effects."


"I have been on the depo shot for a year now.. ITS AWESOME!! I don't have periods at all.. only spotted for a couple of week for the first month and a few days before my last shot.. my cramps aren't as bad as they were before I started the shot.. the only thing I notice I can relate to on the other women's post is my emotions are slightly unstable.. I want to cry about EVERYTHING!!! not to the point where its uncontrollable but just to things that should not make me wanna cry (radio commercials, funny tv shows, etc.) other then that I feel great! no weight gain, loss of sleep, or excessive bleeding.. I am very happy with bc!!"


"I started to take Spintec about 3 years ago. I did not have any side effects. Prior to taking Sprintec, I had HORRIBLE periods: heavy cramping, heavy flow, etc. Sprintec reduced my cramping and heavy flow. I workout about 5 times a week so I didn't notice any weight gain. However, for almost 6 months, I stopped taking it because my prescription ran out and I had to go see my doctor. I also was not sexually active for those 6 months so I did not feel the need to be on it. I just started taking it again. I recommend Sprintec to every woman who wants a cheap, effective form of birth control. Just be aware that every body is different. Find what works for you."


"I was on this medication for 2 years and I felt great..no anxiety.. I weaned off over 3 months and have totally been off for 3 month.. All my issues came back. Just started back today fingers crossed it works again. I should have never stopped taking. It was a life changer"


"Used the product on my face for 6 weeks twice a day for two days every week. Depending on the extent of sun damage, the effects are dramatic and nasty looking. After the 2nd week the treated area looks like a bad sun burn, it itches, peels, weeps, bleeds and burns. But the results after stopping for 3-4 weeks are very good."


"I got awful leg cramps and headaches. Did not help with hot flashes either."


"I suffer from degenerative disc disease.  For years I was unable to live a normal functioning life.  My Doc had me taking 4/10mg Norcos & 4/30mg Morphine pills daily.  While they gave me some relief, I was still in a great deal of pain and felt like I was taking pills all the time. I spoke to my Doc about my continuing pain and the constant pill popping with minimal relief.  She told me about Oxycontin.  She said that she didn't normally prescribe it and only had one other patient on it but, I could try it to see if it gave me any better relief.  I take 3/40mg Oxycontins daily now and the difference in my life is amazing.  I hate the way people treat me when they learn that I am taking Oxy.  It works wonders so get off our backs."


"This is my first time using the medication. I'm 33 and haven't had a yeast infection in years. I bought the monistat 3 day treatment and I just used the first dose and it's been 45 minutes and the itching and burning sensation is 100 times worse than the actual infection. Thank God for this site because I thought something was wrong with me. I can't rate the product as yet because I just started it but based on the comments I'm going to keep at it and hope I get relief like the rest of you. Ohhhhhhhhh it burns and itches so bad! It's a relief knowing that others are going through the same thing."


"I am 22 years old and have been on the Paragaurd for 4 months now and have not had a baby yet. When getting the paragaurd put in I was very nervous. It only hurt when they actually inserted it and it was only for a few seconds. I was really crampy that night and a little bit that day. My first couple periods were so heavy I was using a super plus tampon with a pad on every 3 hours for the first day in a half. I still have to use the Super Plus tampon but not every 3 hours its about every 5 hours now and its not so bad. The only thing I hate about the paragaurd is I will have really bad discharge a couple weeks before I get my period. The last two periods I've had really bad discharge for a week after my period which is so annoying!"


"I had my second Nexplanon implant fitted in August 2015. I love the implant, maybe I have been lucky but the only side effects I have experienced are an occasional itchy arm and irregular periods. When I had my first Nexplanon implant fitted in 2012 it did however take a good 3 months to "settle" and my body to get used to it, I think I bled for 3-4 weeks straight but if you are willing to persevere I would definitely recommend it.

It did not hurt when it was fitted, removed or replaced in the Same arm although I did have some bruising for a week or so.

I did lots of research before having my Nexplanon implant fitted, there seems to be far more horror stories than success, but for me it has been really positive and I love it."


"I had a tubal ligation and told the nurse beforehand that I was worried about the general anesthesia making me vomit, disturbing my incision. She gave me this patch behind my ear, and I didn't feel one bit of nausea after the surgery. I left it on for four days (even though it is rated for 3) just to make sure, and it worked flawlessly."


"Made me very drowsy and gave a heavy head feeling - lasted 12 hrs"


"I was first put in Tri-Sprintec, which worked wonderfully for me, but my pharmacy switched me to Tri-Previfem. I've good news and bad news about this pill. The good news: I've not gotten pregnant. The bad news: after being switched over, I've realized a shocking change in my mood. I'm much more depressed, and I have developed a case of anxiety. I have experienced several anxiety attacks after being switched to this pill. I'm contemplating asking my doctor to change my prescription. If you wish to not get pregnant, then take this pill, but you may undergo dramatic changes in your mood."


"I have been taking 10MG of Lipitor for about 18 years, it has worked wonderful for me no problems at all with the drug."


"I've been using Lidocaine patches for years now. Recently I became a Medicare patient and can no longer afford them.
A friend of mine brought me some of hers.
They were made by Mylan.
1.  They would not stick unless I used paper tape to hold them down (this is a must if you have to use these). 2.  When I wore them on the inside of my knee they split into. 3. I did not receive any pain relief. 4.  These cost $100's if you do not have insurance. Medicare will Not pay.
5.  Anyone that gives this product anything but a 1 must have stock in the company.
The GOOD NEWS!
While  I cannot afford them, I will tell  you I was using  same percentage but made by a company called Watson. These patches are over 1/8" thick gel/cloth back. These WORK!"


"Lo Loestrin Fe is by far the best birth control I have ever tried! I cannot tell you how many different contraceptives I have tried and they have all made me miserable. I've had absolutely no side effects on Lo Loestrin Fe. My skin is clear, my periods last maybe a day and it's super light. Absolutely no cramps or nausea. My weight fluctuates on its own so I wouldn't blame the pill for that lol."


"I'm introverted and suffered some depression and anxiety due to a recent IRS audit and personal problems at home , I landed in the hospital for 4 days after test on my heart etc everything cleared but stress and anxiety , I'm 40 and in good shape , Dr put me on Lexapro , first two weeks were brutal , emotional rollercoster and insomia, I asked my Dr if he was sure these were not estrogen pills. After two weeks I started to feel awesome , better then before I'm on my eighth week and lost weight , motivated to go to gym , tolerate my wife's extroverted friends , I feel better then I did my entire life , even before my depression issues , crowds and loud people go over my head nothing irritates me anymore , sexual sides I last longer win win"


"At first Celexa really helped.  I had more energy, was happy and was like my old self.  That lasted only about 3 weeks before I started feeling bad again and wanting to sleep all the time. I also had a claustrophobic feeling like I couldn't breathe.  I told my doctor and he also prescribed trazodone to take with it because he thought this would level me out.  The combination of the 2 made me dizzy, sick and very tired all the time. I couldn't even wake up when my baby was crying in the room next to me.  Needless to say, I had to quit taking the medicine.  I wished it would have continued to work like it did those first 3 weeks.  Also, I started to eat more after the euphoric 3 weeks were gone."


"In one week , medicine brought my fasting sugar level from 245 to 102

Amazing medicine with no side effects"


"I got my wisdom teeth pulled two months ago and got put on antibiotics, had no problem with it at all. Now, two months later, I'm on amoxicillin because I need a root canal treatment and I keep feeling a lump in my throat and pains in the front of my neck down to my collarbone. Sometimes my ears will hurt or my eyes will hurt, or I'll feel like I have a headache. I've never been allergic to medications before, but I've been taking this for two days now and feel awful. I go in for my RCT tomorrow and will have to ask my endodontist about this, but I'm almost sure that it's the amoxicillin causing this. I just wish I wasn't in pain anymore."


"Very effective medication for Social Anxiety and depression. Started working fairly fast, and for over 5 months my depression, and then I came off of it. Made me sleepy, but I also had sleep apnea that I didn't realize I had."


"It does work for nerve pain but the side effects were horrible.  Weight gain, blurred vision, shaking, falling asleep at the dinner table, anger, feeling of not caring about anything, feeling like a zombie.  Getting off Lyrica is worse.  Have to get off a little bit at a time. I am now down to 75mg twice a day.  I feel like a new person.  I am back to normal, however pain has increased.  At this point I would rather put up with the pain than the side effects.  I know my wife is glad I am back."


"I have suffered depression since the age of 14, and it was never treated. Last year, at age 20, I reached a new extreme. I was volatile, angry, irritated and I withdrew completely from life. It physically hurt me to be around the people I loved. I hated myself, and constantly felt disconnected from the life I was meant to be living. The week my psychologist prescribed me Prisitiq, I had a breakdown at Uni. I went home, sat on the front step and cried silently for hours. The next day, I started Pristiq. I have never felt better. I have bad days, as we all do; however, Pristiq and I are good buddies now, and she never makes me feel sick."


"This medication made me extremely nauseous and caused disturbing nightmares.  It helped with the pain."


"I take 300mg of Wellbutrin XL daily along with Lexapro and have for over a year now. It seems to be a good mix, but definitely don't take more than the recommended dosage. "


"I'm 38, have struggled with depression and been suicidal searching for help since I was 13-14. Finally found a psychiatrist who understood. She prescribed 100 seroquel daily and ect. Only had 3 out of 4 ect treatments. That together with seroquel have never felt better or more stable in my life. Still have issue with anxiety with writing essays. Was prescribed a 25mg tablet to put under tongue. It works great.

I had trouble at first with medication as I was taking morning and night. I would be falling asleep at pre start meetings at work. I know take nightly before bed. I sleep great and wake up refreshed. This drug works. You just have to work out the right time to take it."


"So I've been on the Nexplanon for 3 years and 6 months. Had it for the first 3 years and I noticed that I had gained quite a bit of weight, roughly 50 pounds. My doctor recommended that I get it again because it was so effective, so I agreed. I'm about 6 months in and I've already gained 12 more pounds, mood swings, low libido, and sever depression. Oh and I also have an ovarian cyst, which I think was caused by the increase in hormones. This birth control is terrible I do not recommend it."


"Cymbalta did nothing to lessen my anxiety."


"With these pills I didn't have any kind of BAD effects the only thing while being on these pills is I was very emotional. Crying over every little small thing that my boyfriend did. In addition, the painful pains in the abdominal were like having menstrual cramps. Oh but the sugar pill week! The WORST PERIOD EXPERIENCE. I go to university and I had to leave class because I had explosive diarrhea and when I say painful I mean excruciating cramps and blood clots falling out of my vagina every time I went to the bathroom (sorry for getting too personal). Would I try them again? If they were my only option but I wouldn't take the placebo's... Never again!"


"Amazing, works well for panic attacks, etc."


"I started taking Zyban 4 weeks ago. I'm on the 12 week course of treatment. I've been smoking 17 years (started smoking at age 11) I'm now 28. I've tried quitting many times with patches and the gum and even tried the vape cigs. My quit date was March 16th and I have cravings but they don't bother me. It's weird but it's just like a quick thought that pops up and then you are like nope not today and its over with. The main side effect I've had is drowsiness. I've slept a lot. After I take my dose, I literally pass out and wake up hours later. Also, I feel drained, but I'm thinking these side effects may be my body going through withdrawal. I have felt a little nervousness here and there. Overall, it's been good."


"I have suffered from generalized anxiety disorder for longer than I care to remember.  Went through too many anti-depressants that all failed.  I was told the Buspar was an "oldie but goodie."  I was reluctant to even try another pill and was of the notion that drinking wine was going to be my alternate choice, (which I didn't care to start).  Buspar has been my answer.  It's brought calm into my life.  I recommend this "magic pill.""


"By far the most effective medication I have tried (out of at least a dozen) for treating my severe social anxiety and panic attacts.  Virtually all symptoms were relieved."


"Nausea, diarrhea, stomach pains. But the infection seems to have cleared."


"I never had ADD or problems focusing and staying motivated before I had chemotherapy for Ewing's Sarcoma at 16-17 years old. I'm now 24 and started being treated for those symptoms with Focalin XR earlier this year. It was night and day difference for me. I had energy, yes the first week I was shakey but that stops, I lost weight gained from conituning to eat like a weight lifting football player but had very little movement at all. I felt great, I can get things done now. Motivation is now just lacking from my lack of trying but when I get on something I blaze through it. Negative effects I have experienced are occasional moodiness, especially if I am focused on something and then get interrupted. Caffeine is a no no."


"I have been on fluoxetine now for 7 months. The first couple of weeks I was sick feeling but within 2 months my husband and I could tell a big difference with my anxiety. The down fall is the weight gain and after about 3 months I have to take a midday nap. I have gain 18 pounds in the past 7 months that is the outcome of 3-4 am nightly hunger and cravings. I am now trying to fight the naps to sleep all night without waking up. It is difficult some days but it is better then having anxiety attacks."


"After taking Cipralex for anxiety for over 6 months, I began to experience very low mood and energy levels. My doctor recommended I switch to Cymbalta. Overall my experience has been positive. I didn't even notice, but on Cipralex I had a very decreased sex drive that rebounded right back once I was put on Cymbalta. I had trouble finishing the first 2 weeks during sex, but this side effect along with decreased appetite dissipated after the first 3 weeks of treatment. Overall my mood has stabilized and I feel very good on this drug. Please note that people tend to report either great or horrible experiences and everyone reacts to drugs differently. Take reviews with a grain of salt and always collaborate with your doctor for best results."


"Ok so I'm young and I recently had my first yeast infection. So I bought this and my mom helped me. As I put the tablet in, it felt a little awkward. After about 20 mins I began to cry because of how much the burn was hurting. So I told my mom and I continued to leave the pill in, o got an ice pack (WHICH HELPS THE BUTNING TREMENDOUSLY!) and after that night I applied the cream in the morning and everything was completely gone, the only bad part about it was the burn."


"For 6 months I was on the Heather tablet ( made by Glenmark), doing pretty much fine and not noticing any significant side effects. However, when after 6 months I needed to refill my prescription and the pharmacy was out of the Heather tablet, I let them give me what they had, Jencycla (made by Lupin), figuring all minipills were the same. Within a few days I noticed significant changes in my mood, like collapsing into tears at the slightest provocation and getting angry at and suspicious with my boyfriend for stupid reasons. After a couple weeks I started acting crazy and being totally irrational and full of rage, and couldn't control my behavior or moods. Has anyone else experienced such mood swings from changing minipill brands?"


"I started on this pill after I had both of my children, and was experiencing terrible mood swings before my period would start. For the first 6 months I bled almost constantly, despite being told not to take the placebo pills. I was switched to the generic Camrese, and finally felt semi- normal with no spotting and no mood swings. My pharmacy recently switched to Mylan's generic, and it is AWFUL. I have gained 5 pounds in a month (I am an Ironman athlete and I eat very healthy, so this is unusual and disturbing), I am depressed and anxious, I have painful cysts on my underarms and vaginal area, and  I have very low sex drive. The pharmacy switched me back to Camrese, but if conditions don't improve, I'm going off this medication."


"Pros: prevented pregnancy well, shortened period, cleared acne

Cons: gained 20lbs, scalp hair loss, very heavy cramps, migraines, mood swings"


"Felt like I was in a chemical straight jacket."


"I had an epidural injection in my low back yesterday no problems with the propofal however when I took my regular doses of pain medication that day I had a very deep sleep that is very unusual for me and it was actually alarming to my husband who had to shake me to get my response after over 15 hours time since the sedation."


"Helped me alot with daily symptoms like chest and rib tightness, which made me think this was a heart condition. Several test proved wrong. Great with controling anxiety symptoms, however issue with thinking clearly or hold a thought for to long."


"Was put on Brintellix, took for 3.5 days and in that time it sent my anxiety through the roof.  I ended up losing any confidence I had and basically had a breakdown. While it increased my energy,  I couldn't sleep and it brought back all the fear of my life before"


"I've had Hep c for 42 years, Unknown to me.
Had an occular migraine and ended up in hospital to find I had low platelets. Which led to hep c diagnosis
First month sick as can be nausea, headache, fatigue  and insomnia. But after 4 weeeks no hep c detected!
I'm almost done my second month and symptoms wax and wane-mostly nausea and fatigue.
Hoping that after the next month my results are still perfect and that I am cured.

"


"Been on numerous sleeping aids for years.  After a while they don't always work.  At present I'm on 30mg-Temazepam.  It takes 2  hrs. for it to work on me. After 2 1/2 hrs and still haven't fallen asleep I have to take some over the counter medicine with it.   Been on Ambien and Lunesta prior.  Don't know what else to do."


"I have been taking Valium every day for 5 years for anxiety and muscle spasms. Good to kill 2 birds with one stone.

I take a relatively microscopic dose of 2.5mg/day, and after 5 years, I have probably built up a tolerance to it so that this tiny dose has no physiological effect any more. But even if I'm now getting the placebo effect from it, I don't care. I don't have panic attacks any more and that's all I really care about."


"I've only been on zarah for almost 2 weeks. I know, that is not long enough, but, I have noticed I become nauseous here and there. My mood changes frequently too. I never had these problems with other birth controls"


"Takes all my pain away no side effects."


"The only good thing about this pill is pregnancy prevention. I found myself way more irritable on this BC then I've ever been my entire life, anxious to the point of debilitation. Kills your sex drive."


"My husband took this drug for 3-4 weeks and got worse and worse that we took him off of it.   Horrible drug!!!!!!!!!!   He began to hallucinate, could not sleep, memory was worse, loss of appetite, talking in his sleep all night long, started falling, just awful side effects.   Would never want him on this drug again."


"I'm 21 and I have had eczema since I was a baby, however it has only been within the last three years that my skin has really suffered. I got very low after trying countless creams. I had light therapy which to me I found pointless as it only made me burn, which made me scratch more. I have eczema all over my body, literally everywhere so you can imagine, as fellow sufferers, how painful and uncomfortable this is. I started using Elocon a few days ago and I must say the improvement is phenomenal. I really would recommend this as my skin is almost clear! So pleased with the results so far!"


"Works well on poison ivy. My preferred treatment!"


"I have been taking Armour Thryroid 60 mg/day for about 9 months and some of my symptoms of Hypothyroidism improved, however my (Jan 2012) lab tests suggested I was still low.  My doctor doubled the dose to 120 mg/day.  In the past, I occasionally noticed some small pimples in the area of my lower lip and chin but after two weeks on the higher dose, I started "blooming" all over my face and neck. I looked like I was suffering from a case of measles or severe acne. My doctor advised me to immediately stop the Armour.  I have read a number if reports of people experiencing the same or similar allergic reaction to the changed Armour formula."


"I was taking Belsomra (20 mg) for almost a year, and initially it worked great. I was falling asleep in a natural way without feeling I had taken a sleeping pill. After three or four months things started to change. I started feeling a bit depressed with some anxiety. What was really strange is that I would get lots of work related anxiety -- things started bugging me at work that normally would not. It's like small things at work bugged me far more than usual. I could not understand what changed. In addition, I was accumulating some depression and everything took more energy to do. Finally, I started suspecting Belsomra was the cause, so as soon as I stopped, all these symptoms simply evaporated! OMG, I finally can feel the sunshine!"


"Zyprexa has given me my life back in 4 weeks!  I have the worst panic attacks and chronic nausea ever!!  I have been on every medication under the sun with no relief, if not worse nausea because of the side effects of all the medications.  I was on Klonopin, propranolol, hydroxyzine, and zofran every single day and I was still having really bad nausea and panic attacks so bad, I could not leave my house.  Dr. prescribed Zyprexa 5mg and after 3 days, I started eating again.  I have already gained 2 lbs but I needed to because I was so nauseated I couldn't eat.  I'm so excited that I can eat again without feeling everything is going to come back up!!!! I hope it doesn't "poop-out" on me bc It's been a miracle!!"


"It's wonderful I love it I'm back from the dead"


"I have suffered from migraines for 35 years and have tried absolutely everything for them.  Between my preventatives and abortives, I've been on over 75 different medications.. Cafergot is the ONLY medication outside of a Demerol injection at the emergency room that eliminates my migraines--even a level 10.  However, I do experience extreme nausea from it--on top of the nausea from my migraine attack.  Because of the level of nausea I often will not take it until my migraine is a level 9 or higher."


"I use psyllium husk every day to keep me regular. But once in awhile I need a little extra boost. I take a half a pill before bed (really difficult to cut in half even with a pill cutter) and after my 2nd cup of coffee...TOUCHDOWN. No cramps...works great"


"I decided to switch to this from Reclipsen (Apri) because I liked the idea of only four periods a year. Big mistake. This birth control made me break out like I never have before. I also gained about 25 pounds while on this. Being a young woman, those are the two biggest things I look for in a birth control pill, besides effectiveness obviously. The chemical difference between the two pills obviously did not agree with my body, and I switched back to Reclipsen after about 6 months. I will be sticking to Reclipsen for a long time."


"Started working within 2 hours for me, and lasted for up to 12-16 hours. Gives me really strong erection (100%). I prefer Viagra to Cialis because for me Cialis is slow to work (3-6 hours) and the quality of erection is poorer (max 80%). "


"I will give this a 2, simply because of the ease of use.  The tabs dissolve under your tongue so you can take them anywhere.  You cannot eat or drink for 10-15 min afterwards, which is really not a big deal.

I am bipolar I with occasional mixed episodes and was prescribed this medicine (5 mg 2x daily) in the middle of a mixed episode while in the hospital.  It propelled me into full-blown mania.

As with all medicines and this disease, its very personal.  This medicine might be more appropriate for someone less prone to mania than myself.  I am on Topamax 150 mg (50 mg 3x daily) and Seroquel 100 mg nightly, now.  I am not cured by a long shot, but I am certainly a lot better now, a month later, than I was on the Saphris."


"Took 1 pill woke up with rapid heartbeat 117 , chills, fever, head pressure, blood pressure high and nausea.  It's been 4 hrs and heartbeat not back to normal.
Beware, this is one bad drug"


"The first time I had this pill was after I lost my virginity in a one night stand and due to circumstances I would rather not talk about contraceptives weren't used. Due to it also being a bank holiday and having no transport I ended up waiting 72 hours (the maximum time) before I could get a hold of this emergency measure; the side effects of this time were very minimal - I felt nauseated and very tired - the medication, however, didn't work and I ended up pregnant (later miscarrying).
I have taken the tablet again today, less than twelve hours afterward as a precaution (the condom came off inside me) and the side effects have been a lot more severe including extreme dizziness and nausea. I do, however, believe it is working this time."


"If I could give a neg 100 I would. I hate this drug. Horrible side effects, I'm still dizzy and have brainfog after 3 months. I had a severe headache, vomiting, severe anxiety, horrible brainfog, fatigue,  no appetite.  I still have anxiety! Cipro, or any fluoroquinolone are usually prescribed with this. I have to say shame on all the doctors who give any fluoroquinolone out since Bayer themselves and the FDA sent out warning letters.  FDA safety review found that both oral and injectable fluroquinolones are associated with disabling side effects involving tendons, muscles, joints, nerves and the central nervous system. These side effects can occur hours to weeks after exposure to fluoroquinolones and may potentially be permanent. "


"I'm about 4 weeks in on 15mg slowly transitioning to 30mg. I'm a 6'2 male in my mid 30's and before i began Mirtz i was 182 pounds. Today i'm 199 pounds in just 4 weeks! One other condition this drug is used for is an appetite stimulant and i can see why as i will eat anything anyone puts in front of me. I feel like an ogre now when i eat, literally can eat 2 full meals at a time. Trying to exercise more to fight off the crazy gains. Overall i'm taking this for Major depression, anxiety and insomnia. So far so good for those 3, things are slowly getting better. The dreams from Mirtz are crazy! Every night is a new adventure. Don't feel too groggy the next day. I will post an update in a few weeks once the 30mg has a chance to kick in."


"I had a good experience on this medicine.  After years of nothing working, I lost 35 pounds over 8 months.  Started at 206lbs, ended at 170lbs.  I've always been active, exercising 6 days a week and I ate well. The medicine turned off any cravings I had and I felt full after only a few bites of the healthy food I was eating. There were two big down sides.  First, the cost!  It went from $150 to $190 in the 7 months I took it. To add to it, my state requires monthly check ins at the Dr. which add $60 a month for a total of $250/month.  If I was continuing to drop a lot of weight, it might have been worth it but I plateaued and for the last 3 months did not lose any weight.  Been off for 3 months and I have maintained. I would consider taking it again."


"I Love This Birth Control. I forget I even have it! It's painless and leaves very little scaring. I got this in August 2010 and I have had NO problems! I spot from time to time but very little and not even every month that I even spot. I was told awful things about this and none have been true to me since I've been on this over a year. I will for sure without a doubt get this again. I love it."


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease about a month ago, and I am 15 years old. I take 400mg of Pentasa 3x daily along with other pills to stop inflammation. So far it's been working great. I still get abdominal pain occasionally which is a lot better than it used to be."


"I have a herniated disk in my back, and experience back pain and knee pain. I had gotten to the point where I could not get out of a chair and weight bear on my right leg. After MRI's of my back, knee, and hips my orthopedist referred me to a neurologist, because he could not figure out what was causing the pain. I was also experiencing numbness and tingling in my feet. My neurologist started me on 7.5 mgs of Mobic. I am now able to get up from a chair and bear weight on my right leg.
I have GERD's so I take Prilosec every day. I have not had any side effects. I will say that my pain is not completely gone, but greatly improved! My neurologist also referred me to physical therapy, and will also be doing a nerve conduction test."


"I was put on  carafate for stomach ulsers.I am also taking two 30 mg. Of  prevacid  a day. Since starting the carafate my indigestion has come back pretty bad."


"OMG I normally take diflucan when I get a yeast infection but the one showed its ugly face Friday afternoon & of course my dr was closed so I bought Monistat 7 day cream! OMG about a minute after inserting I was on fire & itching! This is horrible I'm on day 3 & it was worse than day 1! This is pure torture I can't take it another day."


"SO...
DO  NOT BE AFRAID!!!
I have been panicked for 2 months about the taste of this stuff...
I tried the gallon jug stuff 2 months ago and completely wimped out and cancelled the appt...
A friend of mine died just last night due to complications from colon cancer if that was not a sign to get this medicine down I don't know what was...
ANYWAY...
Refrigerate the night before...get crystal light powder mix...
mix up a batch and keep in refrigerator over night..
slice up one lemon..
mix your solution with crystal light mixture...
I also got a starbucks valencia orange refresher and some pineapple tea..
pour your suprep mixture into 4 4oz cups...
suck a lemon..chug one 4oz cup...suck a lemon....wait 5 minutes repeat...drink 32oz of warm tea...."


"I would not recommend this to anyone. When it came to putting it in I'm told it's nothing more than a small pinch. I couldn't use my arm for 3 days from the intense pain of getting it inserted. Then I'm told it will help regulate my period, we'll that couldn't have been farther from the truth. Periods lasting 12-14 days cramps and all, and spotting the rest of the month almost completely non stop for over 18 months. Then I finally give up and have it removed. It's only then that I'm told the longer it's in the harder it can be to get back out. The doctor ends up spending 25 minutes digging around trying to get ahold of it. Day 5 of severe arm pain."


"My doctor had me on a dosage of Acular LS of one drop per eye per day.  It ELIMINATED my photophobia (sensitivity and pain) which was caused by cornea transplants that I needed to treat my Keratoconus.

Even though my dosage was 1/4 the normal dosage recommendation my doctor took me off the Acular LS since a known effect of the medication at normal dosages is thinning of the cornea.

I have found no other treatment that helps with my photophobia.

This stuff will sting when you use it, but it definitely works.  For the time that I used it, I could participate in outdoor activities, view fireworks, basically tolerate normal activities.  Without it, I'm confined to a dark hole.

So the product is great!  Just wish I could continue using it."


"I've been on the implant for a year now. When I got the implant inserted my period came on immediately it's lasted for a couple of weeks. I started off weighing 100lbs I'm now 125lbs. Never in my 25years of life with two kids never weigh that much. I do have break out from time time but it's controllable.. I just have this big appetite to where I eat and eat and never get full. My sex drive has not changed it seems like it even got better.. But I've been on every Bc and this one fits me I must say.."


"After reading all the reviews and trying just about everything under the sun, I have found something that works for my lower back pain.

I was in a car accident when I was 14 and broke my L4&5, since then I have been dealing with back pain (I am now 40).

Last year my Dr. Discussed cymbalta with me. After doing some research I decided to give it a whirl, I was almost turned off the idea due to some of the negative experiences...glad I tried it.

I am currently pain free, I did experience some side effects all of which dissapeared before 5 months;

Excessive yawning

Not being able to ejaculate during sex

Feeling of tiredness

Some anxiety

Sweats

Weight gain

Vivid dreams

kept peeing a little after I thought I was done

Give it time, if you try!"


"I hate to share this for everyone but this pill did not work for me. We used a condom, it broke, took plan b about 8 hours later. Everyone reassured me I was fine but after I was about a week and half late I started to feel nauseas and I knew something was wrong. Took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I am currently 2 months pregnant!"


"I’ve had the liletta IUD for 3 months now, so I’ve had a little time to observe how my body feels with it. I’ve yet to gain weight, I’ve actually lost 8 pounds. (I’ve been trying) I don’t feel any hormonal mood swings that I would count as out of the ordinary. I do get random cramping and low back pain before my period starts, but it’s manageable. My sex drive increased at first, but seems about normal now. I do not feel “dry” as I’ve heard some complain of. And I’m still getting a period about once a month-six weeks. It lasts about 12 days instead of 7 but it’s light. Overall, I’m loving this so far! All those nasty hormonal side effects I had with other methods have yet to appear."


"I had cystic nodular acne on my face, back, and chest. I've tried every acne medication under the sun!! Accutane worked great and i could tell a difference within a month of using it. It's been 3 years since I took it and I'm still all clear. I would recommend Accutane to anyone with acne."


"about to start my third month on sprintec. i have lost about 12 pounds since starting the pill. im not sure if its because of the pills but my diet has not changed, i still eat alot and i dont workout. i have fibroids and the reason i started was to help with bleeding in which it really hasnt helped much with but my cramps are not as bad, im not as moody as before, and it has helped with bloating.  i guess its different for everyone so i would recommend trying it."


"I used this for about a week, it caused severe dry mouth and loss of appetite."


"I have been taking Yaz for 4 years, due to irregular cycle related to ovarian cysts.  I am pleased that my periods are shorter and there is absolutely no cramping.  It has helped alleviate hormonal migraines and my skin has never been more clear.  Prior to birth control, my cycle was completely irregular, such as skipping months altogether, and it was frustrating being so unpredictable.  Now, I know exactly when my period is coming.  The only  negatives: I did gain a little weight and it is expensive since I don't have insurance."


"I was given Skelaxin for a herniated disc and it has also helped tremendously for my fibromyalgia"


"Was use by cardiologist in the hospital to correct my A-fib... but semi strenuous exercise sent me back into A-Fib a few times while on it.  Was afraid to exercise... not good. Saw another Cardiologist and he prescribe Metoprolol Succinate. This baby works like a charm, haven't been in A-fib since and am working out harder than ever."


"This medication was exactly what I needed for my schizoaffective and bipolar disorders.  There has been absolutely no weight gain and no noticeable side effects.  It has seriously levelled out my bipolar cycles, no paranoid delusions and the depressive episodes are less painful.  I know that one med won't work for some people, but this was exactly what I needed.  After being on zyprexa and gaining 10 pounds a month, this was a life saver."


"I realize my review may be very premature, but I wanted to offer some insight from someone who just started taking Enbrel. My first shot was 3 days ago and I already feel like a new woman. In fact, there was a remarkable difference the next morning - less than 12 hours after my first shot! I have had RA for over 15 years; diagnosed at age 16. I have been on methotrexate, leflunomide, and even vioxx back when that was still on the market. Nothing provided the relief I needed, but I was terrified to go on a biologic drug because of all the possible side effects. I finally bit the bullet and started Enbrel because the pain was unbearable and caused terrible depression and even thoughts of suicide. At least for now, Enbrel is a God-send!"


"I have been taking abilify for OCD and Body Dysmophic Disorder for about 2 months and it has helped but I do have a few small side effects like insomnia and a feeling of restlessness but I feel the help outweighs my side effects."


"I would NOT recommend this patch to anyone. The company has printed in black ink the product name on the patch itself, which is beyond dumb!!  The glue leaves huge circle on your underwear that will not come off. The glue leaves circles on your skin when the patch is removed, which is almost impossible to come off. I used Vivelle before and had none of these problems, plus the patch was half the size as this product. Insurance said this product was a generic and would no longer pay for the Vivelle."


"Helped my dad with this patch.  He was less agitated, better behaved and was able to do more for himself."


"I swapped to Sprintec from Microgestin after having suicidal thoughts, weight gain and no sex drive. Sprintec also made me depressed (with no sudicidal thoughts), no sex drive and caused me to gain another 15 pounds. I am normally very active and social but I just sat around all day everyday with no desire to go out and live life.   I've since started the Xulane patch and LOVE it. With the patch I have no depression, no suicidal thoughts, my appetite has gone back to how it was before I started birth control and my sex drive has returned."


"I recently started taking Lyrica for two herniated discs. The doctor said I have massive nerve damage that will result in surgery but suggested taking this medication temporarily until surgery because my pain was unbearable! At first I was a little off balance but within a week I wasn't constantly in pain....within a month my pain was almost gone and I refuse to do surgery now! Thanks Lyrica for making this happen!"


"Clears the mind of weird thoughts, delusions and hallucinations. Weight gain has been noted as well as a general feeling of restlessness and drowsiness. I'm always on slow-motion and need to think things twice or 3 times. Still better than having conversations with dead people or thinking my brain can see in the future... by the way, DON'T try quitting this drug cold turkey. It's a recipe for disaster."


"I have been on Contrave since Nov 24, 2015. The first week the only symptom I noticed was dry mouth. I have not weighed myself yet. Although I have already started the medication, I'm not so much focused on the pounds lost than I am with controlling my eating/smoking habits. I start going to the gym next week so I am very excited that this medicine will help me quit smoking and in turn get me motivated to working out and losing the weight. I have noticed I have not been as hungry and I'm drinking more water. I am now up to 2 pills a day and have only noticed a slight headache along with dry mouth, but I will remain positive."


"I tried the Diclofenic pills and they did not do anything.  It wasn't untill I did the gel, that it had soothing effects.  Someone suggested the Blu EMU stuff, but it had no effects on me."


"My fiancé caught the flu I could tell by his symptoms and him sleeping all day for 3 days with high fever. So the moment I felt the body aches, chill and ran a fever of 101.4 I went to the doctor and was prescribed Tamiflu 75mg 2 times a day. Was not given a swab test just by my symptoms they told me it was the flu.. Being pregnant and having the flu puts me at a higher risk for complications so of course I wanted to take it to get better. The first pill I took was at night I woke up feeling so much better just a Little nauseous so I though Tamiflu is a life saver but by my third pill I woke up very dizzy and it's very scary. I last took a pill yesterday morning and still feeling dizzy and wierd. Doc says to finish but I refuse!"


"I have been on this drug for a year. Initially, it made an amazing difference in my depression and anxiety levels, and allowed me to return to "normal" life. My short temper was back to normal, and I was enjoying many aspects of life again. After a year, the dosage I was on ceased to be effective (10mg) and the side effects more worrisome. I have gained nearly 20lbs with no increase in calorie intake and have in fact improved my diet and reduced calorie intake, and in fact am working out 5 days a week for an hour of hardcore bootcamp-style exercise...and have not lost a pound. At this time I am so uncomfortable with the weight gain and the absolute absence of libido that I am considering moving to Wellbutrin or other antidepressant."


"I took it one hour after I had sex, 6 days later I bled lightly and thought I was spotting which scared the heck out of me. My period was 5 days late, but it came, and since it was my first time using Aftera or any type of birth control, it threw my period off which is what it is intended to do. It worked therefore it gets a 10 from me, I am 20 and 160lbs. PS: don't be stupid and continue to have unprotected sex after you take it because it won't protect against that!"

"16 female. I've been under the care of a psychiatric adolescent ward for about 5 months now, this is one of the medications I have tried more recently.
Firstly I had severe flatulence after a day or two of taking the first dose of 5mg. I was also constipated so took laxatives, which then gave me really bad runs which I had for the course of taking lexapro. I also had a slight tremor. I had lexapro in the morning at 5mg. I came off of it within a week of starting it. The day after I came off of Lexapro I was sick, and had terrible stomach cramps and the runs still. It helped with my mood but sadly the side effects outweighed the positives!"


"I take Phentermine 37.5 and a side effect is horrible insomnia. I went almost a solid two weeks before I called my doc to help me find something that would keep me sleeping through the night. She gave me GABA. I take it 30 minutes prior to when I want to get to sleep with my 75mg of Topirimate and my Spironolatone and within the hour, I'm out. I'm very sensitive to medication also. But I woke up feeling refreshed and not at all zombie-like. I woke up at 2am to give my son a bottle and diaper change with no problem waking up and going back to sleep. I've only taken this medicine for four nights but very happy on it so far!! As I said I am very sensitive to medication so finding one that doesn't make me have lingering side effects is great!"


"I have been on Pristiq for 3 weeks and it is wonderful! The only side effect I have suffered is nausea, but well well worth it! I was on low dose of Wellbutrin for almost a year and started suffering severe depression, my husband and 3 kids were definitely suffering from this as I was! I am very thankful for Pristiq, just wish it wasn't so expensive.  I am only having to take 50mg once a day and hope to be able to get off completely soon.  There is hope!"


"Used ranitidine for years to treat heartburn. I take 150mg 2-3 times daily, and always works quickley."


"After trying Topamax for months with no relief, I have been on Depakote ER for three months with GREAT relief! I was having migraine headaches 17 out of 31 days a month, now- maybe one a month (taking Axert when I have pain). The only problem I have had is I have gained 10 pounds in less than three months....this is horrible for me, as I could have afforded to have lost 10 pounds when starting Depakote!

My Dr. is going to have me try to mis in 25 mg. of Topamax to suppresse the appetite."


"I rated the effectiveness as a 1... I'm honestly not sure how effective it is seeing as I only used the applicator several hours ago. I inserted the medicine at bedtime. I just got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom & it burns SO badly!!!! The outside of my vagina is swollen and puffy. Not good!!!!!!"


"Vyvanse has been wonderful for me. I take it along with the anti-depressant Lexapro and the two medications work wonderfully together. I am a full time college student. I have been taking Vyvanse for about 8 months and I don't know what I would do without it now. I am focused and my mind is not racing a million miles an hour. I did about a year of school without it and I was an A, B, C student, but now I am mostly making A's with the occasional B."


"I just got my Kyleena placed on the 16th of November, I am still cramping but that’s to be expected anyways, each day gets better and better for the cramps though, so far I really like it, I can’t feel the IUD I just have the cramping from my uterus returning to it’s normal place, it’s great. I love it so far"


"I was taking gabapentin 1x- 300mg in the  am & 2x-300mg @bedtime for about 5 years it did wonders for my fibromyalgia however I still did get breakthrough flare ups ever once in a while but it helped with the pain took off the edge so I could function. Well recently it's been crazy because it just stopped working & for 2 months I was in an ongoing Flare. So my rheumey dr said lets try lyrica, and wean u off gaba - it huge mistake. Lyrica was horrible it did nothing for the pain I had awful side effects , severe nausea, headaches, stomach upsets, & the worse of these were severe muscle cramping! I'm now getting back on the Gaba took a break so maybe it will work again I prefer Gabapentin."


"This is the only antibiotic that really works at clearing up my skin. It doesn't give me stomach problems like other antibiotics. Another great thing about Bactrim is that there's no weird restrictions about when/what you can eat when taking it - no "I can't have a bowl of ice cream because I just took my medication for the night" like when you take minocycline. You also don't have to worry about being out in the sun while taking it (yeah, I know, tanning is bad). Unfortunately, it is a pretty strong antibiotic, so my dermatologist has cut me off (she thinks it is the cause of a cyst on my lip."


"I'm 54 years old and have used Imitrex for almost 20 years. No side effects except leg pain for about 24 hours, as if I overused in a workout. Was on 100 mg tabs for a long time, with 3 mg self-injections as necessary. Now just taking 50 mg as I get fewer and less intense headaches now. This medicine is worth trying, but ask for EKG first if the doctor doesn't order it, this can help check for heart okay first."


"I have had anxiety forever and fell into a dark depression.  I almost lost my marriage due to my state of mind.  My doctor prescribed Celexa and it saved my life.  I also was sleeping two hours a night during this horrible time and Celexa helps me get a greats night sleep now.  I have gained 10 pounds but its worth peace of mind."


"I've been on Xanax for 20 years for anxiety. I have tried just about everything they have come out with and this is all that works."


"I love Jolessa! I hated it at first. During the first pack I bled for about 9 weeks. It was awful. Some days heavy, some days light. I talked to my doctor and decided to hang in there and try the second pack. I am so glad that I did. I had finished bleeding a couple of days before I started the second pack. The second pack worked perfectly. The third pack, which I just finished worked the same. This period is super light. I kept waiting all week for it to start and finally on Friday it did and it's Sunday and it might be gone already. I knew one of the side effects was abnormal bleeding that diminished over time.....it took 9 weeks...but I would do it all again for the only having 4 periods a year. I love Jolessa!"


"Update: this is my fourth month in and the first time I have had a period with this implant I started bleeding a few days after my last post in here I've been bleeding for a month and one week now I'm not sure when it will stop it keeps getting light and switches to a heavy flow. I still haven't gained any weight but my sex drive has been down this last month (it could be from the contestant bleeding) doesn't make me feel sexy and I had a really high sex drive before I feel like it's ruining my sex life with my bf"


"I have attempted this pill once before and have it another go and I am unhappy with the side effects. I've experienced sore breasts, they have increased in size, severe dry eye, fatigue, depression, increased craving appetite of sugars and carbs than before like I feel pregnant, I have no drive or desire to exercise or do anything. I feel like a different person :("


"Last day of period May 28. Took Plan B on May 31. First day of fertile week. Had light bleed a week l8r Lasted only 2 days. Had swore breast, was bloated, mood swings

 cramps, acne :|  Now its June 28 still no period. Im 10 days late i've taken like 10 hpt all negative. Blood test negative. So i guess pill worked."


"I had a triple bypass surgery 23 years ago.My SVG is wearing out.Had a blockage in it 3 months ago, had a cath and a stent put in. 3 days later had an MI caused by a complete block in the SVG. Had another cath and 2 stents put in.2 months later started Cardiac rehab. Started getting angina walking and stress. Went on Ranexa 500mg twice aday. After the first day no angina. Went to the gym after 7 days on med and did 15 mins on treadmill, 15 on bike and 10 on eliptical. No angina pain. Only side affect I noticed is right below my sterum, I occasionly have a slight spasm..See the Dr. in a week to discuss. Slight hard bowel movements, need to drink more fluids and occasional stool softer. But worth it, with no angina pain."


"This stuff caused me not to think clearly and I suffered a lot of side effects but I still coughed.  Not what it is supposed to be.  Would not wish this stuff on anyone.  I am still recovering from just taking it for 3 days."


"Bactrim has always worked for my UTI. I do see a pattern in the complaints about. The bottle doesn't say not to consume. If you mix bactrim with the smallest sip of wine you will get those side effects that I see mentioned. If you take bactrim do not consume any wine, beer, or hard liquor."


"Been a smoker for 40  years.  Started Chantix January 1.  I also have the slight dry mouth.  My cigarette craving has gone down, my time between smokes is becoming more.  Maybe those of us that are finally trying this are on to  something.  Good luck to all."


"I have used phentermine in the past and lost a lot of weight but over the years I stopped taking it coupled with no exercise, bad bad bad eating habits, on top of a stressful life, and lack of sufficient amount of rest I gained all my weight back and high blood pressure. Today is 1/26/13. I will start the pills on Monday 1/28/13
I have 50lbs to lose. Here I go again but the pills will help me as they have in the past. "


"Started taking the medication 7 days prior to surgery and continued for a total of 14 days. Stomach issues began right away but not excessive. Got worse. Stomach cramps (not abdominal), dizziness, sweats, nausea, extreme fatigue. Did it work? No idea, this was a preventative measure and since I was having a procedure that I do NOT want to repeat, I stuck with it. Now it's 48 hours after the last dose and now I have the abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Hoping this doesn't last too long. I will not take this drug ever again. I've lost 15 days of my life so far. I've been through cancer treatment and sometimes the cure is worse than the disease"


"This birth control did wonders for my stomach. Other brands made me so sick and if I forgot and had to take 2 at a time I was throwing up in the middle of the night. These pills do not upset my stomach at all which is great. Haven't noticed any other side effects maybe a little moody at times but I think that's just my period. Also no weight changes for me"


"I started with Bydureon at first for about a month and started having lumps at the injection sites, so the Dr switched me to Victoza.  For the first 2 weeks I had a lot of nausea but after that it leveled out and I started feeling great.  So after 3 months I have lost 52 pounds!  My appetite has decreased and for the first time I can eat a small portion and feel full.  NO more cravings immediately after I finish eating. I love this medication.  My blood sugar levels have been between 89-94."


"I am getting ready to end my 3rd month on the nuvaring... I used to be on BeYaz but couldn't stand the mood alteration and it was making my anxiety levels very high.  When I went off of it my acne (which was nonexistent before) popped up like crazy! My gyno recommended the nuvaring because unlike the pill where you get one high dose of hormones, the ring gives you a continuous dose of hormones.  Here is a list of my pros/cons for the ring.
pros: no mood alteration at all, no weight gain that I can tell, not pregnant
cons: discharge, you can feel it, I got a UTI within the first month of using it, your partner can feel it during sex, its difficult to get wet, and it doesn't help with acne at all"


"I have been on Latuda for over two years. I feel a lot better,  though I am somewhat apathetic and don't want to bathe, cook, or clean house. I have to eat a large meal to stave off the nausea. When I have nausea,  I eat saltine crackers until I no longer feel sick. Other types of crackers work too. I take benztropine to prevent unconscious chewing. It doesn't stop the fidgeting and restlessness that I feel."


"I had Mirena put in place for a dual purpose- extreme menstrual bleeding and birth control. At 44, I don't want any more children and I have a history of pulmonary embolisms. Therefore, this was one if my few bc options. The procedure was excruciating- and I have had children and two neck fusions. I am also on narcotics for chronic pain and still would NEVER had dreamed this would have hurt like it did. Some say it feels like cramps- they must have some wicked cramps. Ever since I have had this I have had UTI's, yeast infections, severe pain, pain during sex, spotting constantly. The only good thing I can say is my periods have not been as heavy. However, when you are spotting all month, who wants to have sex? It's coming out ASAP."


"Had Kyleena for 1 week now and I feel like I have gained weight, skin is now dry and flakey, and been bleeding and a little crampy since. I switched from Nuva Ring where I had zero symptoms, and now this seems like more problems for me even though there is less horomones... Anyone else with the same problems? I am really sad but since I had to pay $450 with no insurance, I feel like its a waste to not stick it out... Heres hoping it gets better."


"I am selecting GERD only because I can't get a correct diagnosis. Been taking Prilosec, Prevacid etc with no help, symptoms include pain that mimicked heart attack, anything I eat feels "Stuck" halfway down esophagus, vomiting almost everything I eat or drink, night time is a horror; acid runs right up into nose and vomit 4-5 times per night

Nexium almost immediately stopped all symptoms with no side effects

I'm not a Doctor but all I can say is it has been a miracle for me"


"I would highly recommend this medication for smoking cessation. It was my saving grace to quitting smoking. I had bad dreams the first two nights when I was taking it in the am and in the evening. I switched the 2nd dose to after lunch and the bad dreams stopped.  No other side effects. Absolutely the best medication ever to help you quit smoking."


"I like this medication, but it causes my prolactin levels to go up. Which in turn cause my breast to leak milky fluid. Dr said he thinks it is from Invega injection. I just cannot take this side effect"


"I have continued with my menstrual period after being on Yaz for 3 weeks. This is the reason I started the pill to regulate not to have it all-the-time."


"I am a 28 year old female diagnosed with Bipolar 1, Generalized Anxiety Disoder, Panic disorder and Agoraphobia. A little over a week of taking this medication in conjunction with Lamictal and a benzo (Xanax, Klonopin, or Valium depending upon doc's decision) I felt like a million bucks. I could leave the house. I had a normal sleep schedule. I had energy for the first time in a long time. It was a miracle for me. Stopped taking it and downward I went again. Restarting now and I couldn't be more excited. I will say it made me feel restless and that includes Restless Leg Syndrome types of feelings. But, I would rather be restless and functioning. You have to weigh the pros and cons --for me it is a PRO!"


"It's been amazing....  I lost 15lbs the first two months, I've continued taking it and average 2-3 lbs loss every month. My heaviest weight was 205 and as of my last weight check, I'm at 165 and dropping. At the beginning I was doing a lot of exercise which I think helped a lot, now it's colder and I'm pretty satisfied where I'm at so I've slowed down, but I do believe that the side effects and results have made managing weight so much easier.  I've turned a few friends on to it and they are just as big a believer as me. Trust me the side effects are worth it!"


"I have taken Adderall XR and Vyvanse. They both have a similar but not completely similar feeling when it comes to getting work done. But mainly my experience with Vyvance is quite good but not great. I take whenever I get up to go to school (6-6:30), and it takes an hour to kick in. I have been taking Vyvance for the last 4 years. It helps you focus a lot more than usual and it gives you the motivation to get work done. But the downside about it is that you feel depressed for a minute or anxiety, but after a couple of minutes you feel back motivated and happy. Also, I love that it gives you the mind clarity that I personally think everyone needs. Overall, my experience with Vyvance Is awesome. Btw I'm 15"


"I take this for my extreme anxiety disorder. Just 25mg alone will knock me out for hours. Personally it causes me incredibly vivid dreams, a lot of the time they are nightmares. Not sure if it's connected to the medicine, or it's just me. I do wake up feeling an extreme hangover. But it works really well for my anxiety at 50mg."


"I use 3/40mg Oxycontins a day with 10 5/325mg Percocet and it works wonders. Family members frown about the dosage and the fact that I am 26 and have been on pain medicines for a couple years but it takes away 80% of my pain. I just recently started taking the Oxycontin and it works great. I think this is a miracle drug. I have a 8 month old child (first one) and I am able to play with him and pick him up which I couldn't do before these."


"6. months into taking this drug, I had to stop. Side effects, painful weakness in both hands, hurt to grip, Trigger thumbs- bad when waking up in am. Took med in morning.
Dizzy, nausea, headache, heartburn,, discomfort in center of chest.Exhausted mid day, bone pain Lost sex drive. 62 yes old.
Since stopping 2 wks ago- hoping hands & sex drive return, other problems have stopped. Feeling more normal , weakness & pain in hands still bad."


"I rated this a 5 because of the side effects, I am 22 years old , 5'4 and 160 pounds. I am taking 500mg twice a day and I'm only on my second day and I feel absolutely horrible. I'm incredibly fatigued , nauseous and moody , and the metallic taste in my mouth is driving me nuts all day. I can barely function at work, let alone move because I feel so weak. The odor and itch has cleared within two days which is great but this specific medication is very strong, I have taken several types of antibiotics before ( amoxicillin, penicillin, clindamycin, Bactrim) and I've never experienced side effects this bad. I can definitely say that it doesn't matter whether you're a skinny person or overweight, this medication is just very aggressive."


"It made me ill for 2-3 days after infusion, including headaches and nausea. I was also very sluggish, and more tired. That was hard to accept with the acute chronic fatigue syndrome I already deal with."


"I hate it. I've had it for 18 months. It still hurts in my arm. My hormones are out of control. I'm depressed all the time. I have always had intense  pain from my periods but its so much worse now. I bleed for weeks then stop for a couple days.  For instance I've been bleeding for over 3 weeks now. the weight gain is horrible!! 30 pounds that now matter what I do I can't lose!!! I wish I had never gotten this horrible thing."


"Amazing. I was prescribed ciprofloxacin 500mg. I took just one pill and had major relief."


"I use Lomotil to control diarrhea which occurs sporatically following anal cancer treatment.

This is a miracle drug for me.  Greatly improves my quality of life.

I don't take it regularly, but it is reassuring to know I have it when needed.

Immodium AD just doesn't work; Taking it regularly was a waste of money.

Lomotil has never made me constipated, though I have noticed mild nausea recently.  This does not occur everytime I take it."


"This medication, in combination with a med for sleep, alleviated me of suicidal ideation in matter of one week inpatient. On the downside, I do feel quite flat, and the effects on my health are not able to be known this early on. The poor health feelings are usually due to the drug not being eliminated fast enough by your liver.

I received minimal therapy and didn't experience life improvement, yet all bouts of suicidal depression are gone. Depression for me is now less severe, and more transient."


"Provigil has been a HUGE help for me. I take nortriptyline for my depression. It works better than anything else I've tried but it makes it impossible for me to get up in the morning. When my alarm goes off at 7am I feel like I'm being tortured. I take half a tablet of Provigil at bedtime (11pm). It doesn't keep me from falling asleep but it does help me wake up alert at 7am. Without it, I'll sleep until at least 11:30am. This may be an off-label use but it makes it possible for me to take my antidepressant AND get to school/work on time."


"Tried 3 milligrams of Lunesta did not work at all to help me sleep. But right now I am suffering from extreme anxiety and depression. And have other health issues and a ton of stuff on my mind. I also just tried Ambien ER last night and it did not work either. In the past couple years ago I did take Ambien and it worked to make me sleep but after taking 4 a week or so made my anxiety and depression worse.  Be careful if you suffer from depression taking this medication is what I found out. I only recently tried to take sleeping pills again out of desperation as I have developed some bad stomach problems and possibly my pancreatitis flaring up and have been off of work for 2 months on workman's comp worried about losing my house and my healt"


"So I have been on the Depo Shot since February and I have had a few problems but overall, I love the shot . Around May , when I was supposed to get my second shot , I started my period and was bleeding for about 3 weeks. It wasn't a heavy flow. After that, I haven't had a period since . Overall I haven't experienced all of the side effects that everyone else experienced. No weight gain , no depression, no cramps . I like the Depo Shot and I recommend anyone who is forgetful at taking the pill to get the Shot . It is worth it in the end. You just have to take a chance ."


"Starting on day two of treatment I felt progressively sicker with mild nausea, muscle aching and general malaise."


"3 months 200 mg at night.

This medicine has helped me be in control of my thoughts. Before starting Quetiapine, I was struggling a lot with depression, and on the flip side racing thoughts and overactivity.  Had a failed and bad experience with SSRI-antidepressants.

+ Helps limit your brain activity to normal parameters.

+ Makes you sleep sound

+ Let´s you concentrate on what you want.

- Weight gain

- Hangover tiredness the next day.

- Subtle antidepressant effect. It is more a mood stabiliser in my experience.

All in all it does the job, and it can be invaluable when looking back at one´s life."


"Had severe tachycardia since 2004.  I take 50mg 2x daily and resting pulse remains below 100 bpm."


"Just finished my 5th week out of 24 weeks of treatment. My first lab result at the end of week 4 came back UNDETECTED!

I have been praying for this day. I have not had any side effects. I have suffered from insomnia and fatigue for over ten years. This has not changed since starting Harvoni.

Death to Hep C."


"I've been on this for a little over a year (it just came on the market in the summer of 2007), and I have had no problems with it whatsoever.  No breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no periods (unless I missed more than a pill, then I had some light spotting).  I've had so many problems with other birth controls, ranging from Depo, to the patch, to the ring, to 13 different types of pills, and I finally found one that worked for me!"


"Tramadol does not work for me I still have a lot of pain after using it and I get bad headaches and leg cramps"


"I had my implanon put in on November 24, 2014. My reasons for getting it were birth control, and to regulate my horrendous periods (heavy bleeding for up to four months continuous). After it was put in, I found that in the first week I lost a great deal of hair, perhaps two fist fulls, this was a potential side effect so it didn't really bother me as it was only triggered by the initial release of drugs into my body. I had no period for 6 weeks and I was ecstatic! It lasted only three days, with light flow followed by a day of spotting. My third period lasted three weeks but was still light and spotting. June6 I got my period again and I still have it today (Sept15) I'm looking for an alternative now. ITs an effective contraception though."


"Been on Farxiga since October 2014.  Has worked for me. When I eat right my numbers are in the fives and when I don't eat right they are in the sixes. Only noticeable side effect is dizziness when raising up after bending down if I'm not purposely coming up slowly."


"This IUD doesn't work. My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant after having it put in over a year ago. The Dr's acting so surprised! In an attempt to remove the IUD the damn string broke off. No idea what the out come will be. But this has caused an extreme amount of stress for my daughter. The stats on the effectiveness of this IUD need to change."


"Has made dealing with opiate dependency more manageable."


"I got this implant in September of 2015. The reason that I got it was because I wanted to regulate my hormones better (I had really bad period symptoms) and I am too forgetful to do the pill. I thought it was great at first, recommended it to everyone. Now that I'm farther down the line, I hate it. I was pleased that I didn't bleed for almost half a year, but when my periods came back, they came back worse. I now bleed for 3-4 weeks at a time, with 3 weeks in between. It is awful. I also get really bloated and have sensitive breasts, which are symptoms that I never had in the past. This thing definitely prevents pregnancy because every time I am in the position to have sex, I can't because I am bleeding.  I plan on having it removed soon."


"Makes me shakey and doesn't relieve pain."


"Taking Invokana has been a terrible experience for me..Caused a lot of thirst so I drank so much water that my sodium level dropped to dangerous level..I was hospitalized for 5 days until my normal sodium levels could be restored. I also had   burning pain my mouth.  The skin in my mouth became red and soar.I couldn't eat without pain for days."


"This drug didn't work as well as short-acting hydrocodone in lower doses. I had to take up to 20 mg of Tramadol per day for breakthrough pain on top of the 30 mg of Hysingla. It put me to sleep, made me unable to think clearly or efficiently, and didn't allow me to organize my day or complete my tasks as well as I previously had. I had to take it around 6 PM to avoid breathing issues when I laid down and as a result, by the time I got up in the morning I no longer received any pain relief from it - there is no way it works for 24 hours. I'm now in the process of returning to Norco and while still taking hydrocodone am experiencing withdrawal symptoms from getting off the Hysingla. It is far more dangerous and addictive than it is promoted."


"Just wanted to let everyone know that many insurance companies are starting to cover qsymia (if you have insurance)with prior authorization from your physician.  My copay is only $15"


"I am always prescribed Macrobid for UTIs, and it has always worked for me. It does cause some side effects, but for me it is usually just fatigue for a few hours after taking it and a bit of diarrhea near the end once the infection is gone but I am still finishing up the meds. I know some people get more severe side effects, but I have always been lucky on this drug."


"I started using this cream about a month ago and so far all i can say is that my blackheads are slowly disappearing from my skin. My skin is clearer and soft in the forehead and my chin but i still have spots. Over this month i had to go through the itching, peeling skin and burning, my eyes looked terrible (i didn't put the gel over my eyes). Last week it literally burned my skin around my eyes.I think peeling is the worst. I am going to the college and my skin was always my weak point - it looked terrible the skin was peeling from my eyes, chin, nose, everywhere. I couldnt do anything - trying to take off the dead skin was irritating it and when i tried to moisture it and cover - it didnt worked. But i think i will give it another try."


"Nuvaring has regulated my cycle, practically diminished any menstrual cramps, and given me peace of mind, which is most important to me. It's hard to mess this up! In for 3 weeks out for one. I have not experienced any negative side effects, only positive ones. I tried Nuvaring because it is EASY, and because I did not want to get the shot or the 5 year long Mirena. If you're looking for something mindless and simple try Nuvaring. "


"While Hyzaar did lower my blood pressure to normal levels, I suffered from a respiratory problem typically at night time with a gasping for air reflex several times a night. Effective drug but for me, a scary side effect."


"I have had IBSD for 37 years which has made it impossible to hold down a job for long periods of time. I get a job and work as long as possible when they get tired of a sick employee then I have to look for another. Today is my first day of taking 100mg bid. Within 15 minutes I get a warm sensation like I just got I v contrast, body aches and chest pain then followed by numbness. 1st day in years I have. Even normal. Concerned about some of the reviews but the others make me hopeful.
Praying this works for me. Good luck everyone it is a depressing/exhausting Diagnosis which nobody can understand if they don't have it. Oh they have savings cards now for those who said it was $$$$"


"I'm about to start my third pill pack, and I love this birth control. Both months my period started the third day of the placebo pills. I have little to no side effects. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous, and my appetite has gone down. But the effectiveness is great! My boyfriend and I have had sex a few times without any other protection. The pill really does work, and I'm so thankful it's so reliable. I do take my pill right to the second at 1 o'clock everyday. My experience with Sprintec is wonderful, and I plan to stick with it as my birth control."


"Been taking this medicine since I was 23 and found I had a receding hairline. My hairline has stayed mostly at the same level for the grace of this medicine. No brain fog, no low sex drive. You just need to do exercise and keep a positive attitude. In fact it was exactly what I did and feel like it was the most productive 2 years of my life (I was doing an engineering master). If you worry about the hair give it a shot, and divert the time spent on worrying to something else important. Cheers"


"I was having trouble with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculating. I thought it was either my blood pressure or diabetes so I went to the doctor and I didn't my BP was normal and tests showed that I didn't have diabetes. I was prescribed Viagra months earlier but I stopped taking it because it clogged my sinuses. Then my doctor prescribed me 20mg of Paxil and it's been a life saver.  Not only does it take seconds to get an erection but I am able to maintain it longer than I have been able to for a while.  I have not experienced any side effects."


"This was the first pill I tried. My periods were always regular and I had very mild teenage acne beforehand, but after taking this for 3 months I had the most AWFUL cystic acne on my chin and forehead. I swapped to another and it disappeared. A friend of mine had the exact same experience."


"I have been taking Sprintec for 3 years now. It has worked really well for me. Before this I would get very moody, get menstrual migraines, have really bad cramps, and when I was 18 I started getting nauseous/sick every other month within the first couple of days of my period. Since taking Sprintec I feel my mood has greatly improved, I no longer get sick/nauseous, my cramps have become more than tolerable, and I noticed no increased acne or weight gain. I haven't experienced any of the yeast infection/urinary tract problems with this. However every girl will react differently to different birth controls. If it doesn't work for you, don't worry; just call your doctor and discuss some new options. Eventually you will find something that works for you."


"I've been on Haldol for 5 years. I have schizophrenia. This is the only drug that has worked over the period of having this illness. I don't feel I will ever be symptom free there's no magic pill, but since being on this I've been able to manage things much better than before. Really great. I don't like the possibility of the involuntary muscle disease (can't remember what it's called) but I will take that risk to have this benefit."

"I started using birth control when I was 13 years old and am now 19 1/2. Aviane was the first thing that my doctor prescribed. I went from having heavy periods lasting over a month and being spaced up to 6 months apart to having light almost pain-free periods that last 3-4 days. I used to have horrible cramping and lining issues, but now I rarely have light cramps and my moods have been so much better. I haven't experienced any side effects and never want to go off of birth control. I do not need a contraceptive but it works amazingly for periods and hormone regulation!"


"I've had this nexplanon since September and at first it was great! I had very light bleeding on and off for about 3 weeks and then it went away. After the bleeding I started to feel myself changing. Feeling  more tired then usual. All I want to do is sleep. and the weight gain is really bad. I use to eat mcdonalds every day, only cause I worked there, and I still was not this big. I can barely fit my jeans and by boobs are so big I had to buy a ton of new bras. I figured I needed to change my diet but I don't even eat as much I used too and I am twice as big as I was. My skin is also getting super dry. I'm getting this taking out as soon as possible because the mood swings are scaring my parents and friends."


"If you  want to sleep between 7-10 hours a day and want a good sex life this is the medication for you. I have had no side effects no shakes tremors drowsiness. On clopixol I used to sleep up to 20 hours the doctors will be reluctant to put you on it  as it is very expensive but if you work or want to return to work or study this is the medication for you"


"I've just started this medication and so far so good. So far all I have noticed is that my pimples are coming to a head and my cysts are starting to level and also blackheads and whiteheads are vanishing. I'm on the 80 mg Solodyn and I'm guessing that's very high since most people her are on like 65 and 50 mg. I do get very dizzy, lightheaded, my stomach kills, and I have trouble focusing for about two hours after taking the antibiotic but it's a price I'm willing to pay. I have sensitive skin and I like how this doesn't make me peel as much as the previous topical medication I was on (Ziana).  I'm still suppose to use it but I like the results I'm getting without it.  I would recommend this for sure."


"I was first placed in the generic estridol patch made be Mylan and suffered with theses horrible patches for 3 months until my Dr agreed to place me on the brand name. First of all I had very little relief from my symptoms due to the genetic bullseye (it's approx 2 inches round) falling off! The adhesion is subpar therefore I was not receiving adequate efficacy from this product. I used tegaderm and even waterproof medical tape to keep the patches on but doing so caused skin tears and irritation. I just started the new Brand this week and I am hoping for better results. It is much smaller and hasn't washed off on Day 2 yet."


"I've been on 100 mg of this medication and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It lowered my blood pressure and I also got the side benefit of reduced anxiety.  No bad side effects whatsoever.  This one is a 10 in my book."


"I had two pretty worrying initial exacerbations in July 2011 and February 2012; since then I use Copaxone and I've had no relapses nor new lesions (I write this May 2016). Injections are of course a nuisance, but what can we do."


"I have been using lamictal for years. Recently my Dr added vraylar and I won't lie the first couple days  were horrible!!! I got so sick but I pushed through and the results have been amazing and I've had only taken it a week. I am diabetic and haven't had high blood sugar, no wait gain although I was sooo hungry the for the first couple days. If you can push through the side effects I highly recommend this medicine. I feel alive again I have energy and just look forward to life. Also the voices and visions have stopped"


Acetaminophen / dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine

"This worked for me when nothing else would"


"I have been taking Ambien on and off for 8 years for severe insomnia, mostly related to anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. Over time my body has built up a dependence and a tolerance. I will lay awake till 5 am if I don't take it miserable and exhausted for days. The generic doesn't seen to work as well and since I have been on it so long I usually have to take 20mg to get a full nights sleep, but with certain generics I still wake up at 3am and can't go back to bed. It has been a God send over the years as I tried everything else. I was treated for depression but those medications made it harder to sleep. At some point I would like to stop being dependent on the medicine but every time I try to quit I go through weeks of with no sleep."


"I have tried everything I could to lose weight from pills, to shakes, to teas, to detoxing, to even a lap band, and NONE of it worked. I had hit my all-time high of 230. I went to my fertility doctor and she said I was in bad health to try to have a baby. My cholesterol was high, my blood pressure was high, and to make it worse, I was pre-diabetic. I've been on adipex now for a month and a half. I've lost 35 lbs, barely exercise, but I'm so full of energy that I've completely redone my house, cleaned the garage, and refurbished lots of furniture pieces. I LOVE IT!!! I've not had his much energy since I was in my 20s! I do have about 20 more lbs to go and it will be off in no time."


"Honestly, when the accident happened (we were doing unprotected sex, yes... extremely stupid and I wasn't on birth control), both me and my partner were freaking out really badly about the possibility of getting pregnant. Since the accident occurred almost at 12 in the morning, we couldn't go out to get Plan B because we were traveling with family and it would've seemed too suspicious and there were no CVS around that were open so late. So the next day, at 8 in the morning I took the pills. There were some side effects like the nausea and pain but I'd rather take that over pregnancy any day being a college student right now. My period came 2 days early and a much heavier one but it worked and I am totally not complaining at all!"


"I have taken several of the prescription sleep aids and none have helped as this one has. I have taken it for an extended period and the effects have not faded as they did with other sleep aids and have not left me groggy or given me strange dreams or nightmares."


"I started Taltz after developing a severe flare up of Psoriasis with Humira( worst medication ever). It has improved my Psoriasis lesions slightly  but I have not had a great improvement as others describe, I have been taking it now for 12 week. I have about 50% improvements. I am still hoping it clears my skin but I expected to have better results by now."


"ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. So I was able to manage with the pain of the YI so then before bed I use the Monistat not even 2 minutes after I put in the cream excruciating burning and itching and there's nothing you can do!! This is my first treatment of the 7 Day treatment I took a bath wiped everything got some out.  Now it's been about two hours and still horrible pain. Do not use this product I just hope tomorrow morning that's some of the symptoms go away"


"I have been taking Norco for a jaw dislocation injury for about 3 months. After a while, I had to increase the amount per day, so my doctor wanted to give me oxycontin for evening. I did not like the Oxycontin and felt that the Norco better took away the pain. The Oxycontin just made me feel like I was hallucinating. The Norco works best for pain relief. "


"I gave it 2 out of ten because it did the job that it was supposed to do, but the side effects were horrible. The worst side effect was the depression. I was so emotional all the time. Little things that normally would not bother me made me crazy! This went on for a couple of months before I figured out that it might be due to the pills. In that short amount of time it nearly wrecked my marriage. "


"I love it."


"I've used Lexapro for several years before starting on Cymbalta around 10 months ago. My anxiety is under much better control and the sexual side effects are significantly less pronounced. Take twice a day, 30mg in the morning and 60 mg at night."


"Beyaz was good my first year, but as I continued to take it my libido short to none. I grew emotional, started having anxiety problems. I will be discontinuing this birth control bcz it's starting to affect my marriage."


"I've been on the patch for about 7 months now and I love it. I only get cramping but its only right about the time I'm going to get my period. I lost weight with the patch and I don't experience any bad side effects."


"I have clinical depression and Prozac is how I initially got introduced to the world of pharmaceuticals. I took two types of Fluoxetine; one from the hospital (green) and the other from Target (white). While the ones given to me at the hospital worked good, the ones from Target did not work AT ALL!!

The side effects for me were: No ability to feel any emotion, zombie like, tired 24/7, no appetite (I lived off of one slice of pizza a day along with some cranberry juice and it had to be forced down), decreased libido, giddiness, constant mind fog, a feeling of euphoria followed by fatigue, dry mouth.

It worked better than Cymbalta but since fluoxetine is generic, my doctor doesn't approve of it."


"Apidra helps me to keep my glucose in check."


"I have suffered with Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for over twenty-years. I have been on many types of anti-depressants with moderate success. I started taking Deplin 7.5mg once a day and I can't believe the results. I feel "normal." My idea of normal is to go through a day without having feelings of hopelessness and wanting to stay out of social situations. I feel great. I started feeling the effects of Deplin on the second day. I am a mental health counselor (graduate student). I have learned how to survive and muddle through all that I want to accomplish in life. Deplin has given me new hope for the future."


"MY person experience may differ for others, but BEST combo for me so far, has included Wellbutin XL 300mg. Many years receiving mental health services (27 years). Had to stop SSRI's. Wellbutrin however helped increase my motivation, had none. Was so bad I laid in bed months from severe depression, so long immobile that both legs filled with blood clots and near death!! Survived on blood thinners and hospital over a week. With Wellbutrin had no weight gain, lost the 50lb other meds helped put on me! Lower cholest., quit smoking as a nice bonus and no sexual issues, in fact helped imho."


"Very annoying side effect for me was the constant air bubbles stuck in my throat.   Bad taste and tastebuds are effected....felt like mouth and throat were slightly numb and  felt as if  I had a thick film in mouth/throat.  Constantly felt like I had to swallow."


"So I've been taking sprintec for a month now due to different insurance. And I've had two periods within one month, I am very emotional unstable. My ankles are swelling I have headaches. And my sex drive is decreasing. I'm always sleepy, I never want to get up for work, my cervix was really hard and low on my period. And this has never happened before, this pill is horrible for me! I can't speak for everyone."


"Developed very low back, pelvic and hip pain that affected my mobility.  I had difficulty sitting and bending without severe pain.  I took this medicine for 6 days before realizing that it was the cause of my symptoms. I have now been off of it for 3 days and almost all of the discomfort is gone."


"Excellent to relieve pain and pressure when taking off and landing in an airplane."


"No relief at all. No upset stomach or any other side effects."


"I am 52 with hormonal acne. My cysts were terrible. Did a number on my confidence. I have been on Bactrim for over a year for the cysts and finally something is working. I tried every other medicine with no results. Not sure how long I can be on this but I never want to stop. Afraid if I stop, the cysts will return."


"Taking drug for about 5 years and blood pressure stays around 140/93.  All of a sudden started having ringing in ears and decided to go off Diovan after reading this was a side effect. Also noticed shortness of breath, weight gain and tiredness. Now blood pressure is about the same without Diovan or any other medication except still have the ringing in the ears."


"I used ortho-tri-cyclen-lo from 16-18yo.  My periods were easy without any side effects.  By mid 18yo I was experiencing painful and heavy periods, with strong emotional swings.  My emotions became unpredictable, extremely reactive, and at times I experienced deep depression and strong suicidal thoughts - completely contrary to my personality and traits.  My parents requested I leave university, until that night we read about YAZ studies. YAZ was the ONLY birth control with proven study results showing YAZ helps to control PMDD, which described exactly what I was experiencing.  YAZ was immediately successful. 3.5 years later I am still on YAZ and graduating with a Neuroscience degree.
P.S. Generic yaz experience was unsuccessful. 03/31/17"


"Oncologist ordered it for mom's stage 4 lung cancer symptoms. It did an amazing job increasing her appetite which helped her keep weight on."


"I've had good success with pain relief using Mobic."


"I started taking this med for anxiety a few weeks ago. I had a few side effects like nausea and headaches and I wasn't sure if it was doing anything. I talked to my doc and he added xanax for 10 days to jump start the Lexapro. It has helped a lot. What mostly helped with my side effects was taking the meds late evening. Now i have no side effects and feel great."


"Too weak, acts slowly, I don't feel relaxed after taking it."


"I've been using Xiidra for over 3 weeks I'm experiencing constant tearing and sticky discharge from just my left eye. Everyday I'm wiping my eye all day long. And it becomes itchy. I couldn't take it anymore and stopped.  I have been back to using refresh tears but still experiencing the tearing and discharge.  I thought these drops were going to be a miracle. But instead very disappointing!! Luckily I had samples before wasting my money!"


"I have been on methadone wafers 230mgs  for ten years it helps me keep a normal life  of not doctor hopping and taking 30 plus 10mg  hydrocodone a day yet the thought of coming off the high dose scares me to death and I am a strong person cancer survivor and brittal  diabetic and with this economy the thought of job loss or having to come off the large dose stays with me daily god willing I can stay on it"


"No after taste at unlike all the others that I have tried -- and it does not cause awful tasting gas unlike all the others that I have tried.

Smaller than most of the others too!"


"I’ve used Orsythia for two years without any issue. I have a long history of anxiety and it has not been affected by the pill, nor have I experienced any nausea. I take it precisely at the same time everyday and it has worked great. I’ve put on a few pounds but I think everyone should evaluate their diet before blaming the pill, it’s pretty much impossible for a pill to make you gain 20+ pounds unless your diet is unhealthy and you’re lacking exercise. It’s a pretty generic birth control and I would assume that the horrifying side affects listed by previous reviews are probably rare and true for all birth control on the market. So give it a try, it’s not a miracle pill, but it’s not a anxiety inducing weight gain supplement either."


"Used twice for Atypical Pneumonia and when all other drugs failed this one always works.  I've had pneumonia twice in last year the first time for 3 months. A pulmonary specialist was called in from within the hospital and he prescribed the doxycyline and it instantly worked - in about 24 hours I felt almost normal.

This time round same experience - 1st we tried my new doctor's way and then doxycycline and it worked."


"I would like my LEXAPRO over this medication any day now please!"


"I am a 25 year old female diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension and tachycardia. Was switched recently switched to 50mg metoprolol by my GP. Felt fine first four days and by fifth day started to experience vivid dreams, extreme anxiety after waking from sleep, and then started developing severe panic attacks and constant anxiousness. Was immediately taken off this medication and placed on bystolic 5mg. It has been 5 days since being taken off the medication and I am slowly losing sensation of anxiety but have some residual affects that I feel will take me a while to shake. It has been an incredibly traumatic experience. I do not recommend a beta blocker that crosses the blood brain barrier if it is not necessary."


"Fine hair growth.  Have taken minoxidil  for 39 years and it controlled my hbp . Ten years ago my Dr cut it in half and added  ateniol.  One year ago ateniol was removed and lacenopril was added.   I have been hit with low BP to black out limit.  They refuse my needs now . I feel death is near .
My Dr France wong will not help but insist go to ER."


"I am a white teenager, with combination & sensitive skin that flares up really badly at the slightest of things. My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and I tried it for nearly three or so months, but I found that it did nothing but dry out my skin and caused it to turn red. My acne did not go away, so I looked for other things. If you have skin like mine, look for things with Salycic Acid. I have a set of facial wipes with 1% Salycic Acid and Clinique Acne Gel with 2% Salycic Acid and this, in addition to a normal Clean & Clear facial wash, has cleared up my acne entirely. Hope this helps."


"It was pretty efficient.

within 3 months i had been out of my acute depressive episode, and full of life

i hadn't experienced any increase in apetite as i was warned, and in fact it helped with my IBS a lot

I was started on 25mg/day then 37.5mg/day for around 8 months after which I sought my doctor for Mania symtpoms i was experiencing

very talktative, juggling thoughts, very rapid tone and rush of ideas when speaking, and most importantly insomnia!!

anyhow, we had to emergency stop it, 25mg for 3 weeks then 12.5mg for one and then nothing

WORST experience in the world it's very physically debilitating: nausea/ dizziniess/ wierd feeling ON my head

had to take xanax to combat the withdrawal symptoms, couldnt leave the house for 2 mnoths!"


"I had a series of heart surgeries two years ago due to constrictive viral and then bacterial pericarditis. I have fibrous muscles in my chest from the pressure of up to two liters of extra fluid inside my pericardium multiple times and then not healing properly after the surgeries. I have been in a lot of pain for the last two years. When I first took the patch I was shocked at how well it alleviated my pain, I was only on 5mcg/h, the smallest patch, and it worked wonders for me. At least for a while. After 6 months we have decided to stop the patch due to what seems to be opioid induced pain increases due to the mental effects of the drug. As well as some serious and stubborn constipation due to the opioid."


"I was on Harvoni treatment for 8 weeks, at the end of week 4 the virus was undetected. I was very scared to take this medicine as I read horrible things about Harvoni on the Internet. I am so happy that I decided to take it. I had only minor side effects such as fatigue. I had no problems with stomach, insomnia or weight gain. I was working as usual while being on treatment."


"I have been on so many medications that have not worked until I was prescribed Latuda. Everything changed. I feel normal now. It's the best medication for bipolar that I have ever encountered."


"I've been on Prozac for 17 years, and it's still a miracle drug for me. It definitely saved my life. I tried going off of it, and that was a mistake.  Fortunately, it still works for me."


"Love Tirosant..my hair is back and fingernails not broken anymore. Feel great. Was on Armour 6 years got hair loss and lost beautiful nails. Previous meds gave me heart palpitations and not able to sleep. This Med is the real deal, but too expensive"
