"Doctor told me to take this uristat . super drug, I feel normal again. I can sleep longer, no real pain and the only side effect is urine is yellowish orange. But who cares about that if your rid of pain and spasms. Thank you doctor!"


"The incident happened 5 days ago. I was really nervous and paranoid of what to expect since it was my first time. 13 hours later, I took the pill and took a nap. I woke up with tender breasts, sharp abdominal cramps, body aches all over, fatigue, and I was nauseated. This lasted for 2 days but it was a week of emotions and mood swings. Nothing that I could not handle though. I was not due for another week, however, I woke up with my period today. I was very relieved and I'm thankful to take immediate action. I would not recommend taking it all over again but in inevitable situations, this really helped."


"I gained 50 pounds when I started my data entry job. I was never small to begin with, but I knew I had to do something to lose weight. Adipex is the only thing that has really helped me. In the first month, I had lost 15 pounds. According to my doctor, that's really good. I have had no problems with it, so far (except all my pants are too big now). I would recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to go back to the doctor this month and see how much I've lost."


"I've had asthma since I was 18. Over the last 36 years, it has gotten progressively worse. My lungs were always congested and breathing was always labored. Prednisone used to work for a few months and clear up those symptoms but not anymore.  Already in my 50s and my breathing getting steadily worse, I did some research to find the best respiratory hospital in the USA. In July 2015 which I went to and I was diagnosed with eociniphilic asthma but Nucala wasn't yet approved. I started Nucala in April 2017. By the fourth shot, I'm a new person. I can breathe without lung congestion and haven't used my rescue inhaler at all in five weeks. It's a miracle drug! Thank you GlaxoSmthKline!!"

"My blood sugars were doing good at first but now being my second month they are higher than they ever have been. Not sure what is going on and am having some on and off abdominal pain. Such a bummer I want it to work so I don't have to inject every time I eat. I have mody 2 diabetes so it is different than type one or two."


"I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder last year and tried Anafranil first but couldn't handle the side effects. My doctor started me on Luvox a little over and month ago and I finally feel like I'm getting my life together. I see my counselor every 2 weeks now instead of once a week and my obsessive thoughts are finally under control. I can enjoy books again and I've been feeling a lot more social. At first I had trouble sleeping; I was waking up every night around 4 AM but that has almost stopped completely now. I was worried about weight gain but I've actually lost weight due to my diminished appetite since starting the medication."


"Hey guys! Like most people on this site, I told myself that if this worked for me I'd write something on this site just so I can try to help give some people peace of mind. This stuff works. I had been off and on the pill for a couple months which is stupid. But my boyfriend and I had been careful and used condoms. Unfortunately this time the condom broke. I took the pill about half an hour after the condom broke and let me tell you what, the pill unleashed all of it's side effects on me. Don't worry yourself silly , that's what I did and it was the longest month I've ever had waiting for my period. I did get it though. Right on time. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY."


"I have been on and off Adderall for the better part of a decade now.  I am a 26 year old, male.  This drug works wonders if you have the strength to take it as prescribed.  When I take Adderall, without abusing it, I feel I am able to live what a person would call a "normal life".  It helps with my attention, concentration, motivation, I feel I can socialize easier and I perform better at work.    "


"On 2/8/16 I had sex and right after he realized that the condom broke. Like 30 to 45 minutes later I took the pill. I wasn't sure when the pill will make my period come simply because I just got off my period on the 6th or 7th. 2 weeks later I get my period and it was longer than usual because it was of the pill and it was medium-light. The pill worked but it messed up my already messed up period. But the sooner you take it the better. If you do it between 72 hours it's up to 89% effective and if you take it less than 24 hours it's up to 95% effective. I feel like it only doesn't work if you wait HOURS. So try to take it less than an hour after sex and you'll be fine."


"What an amazing product. I have struggled with acne for about 10 years (now 22), my entire T-zone has always had blackheads which (although not good for the skin) I have been extracting almost every second day. It has made me extremely frustrated that no matter how much money I spend on keeping my skin healthy, it was always a temporary fix. I wanted an alternative to the pill as I was terrified of the side effects it came with. The doctor gave me Duac. I have been using this product every night (after I moisturize) and I am now on my fifth day - ALL OF MY BLACKHEADS ARE GONE. Don't ask me how! I have not had any peeling, dryness, redness or burning. There is only a small tingling sensation when applied. This is a lifesaver of a product."


"This medication was not a good match for me. I was dizzy, nauseous and sleepy. I had to move very slowly in order not to make side effects worse. I only took one 45mg dose. I was given a verbal list of possible side effects from the pharmacist. I tried to keep an open mind as everyone may not experience negative side effects but in this case I did. I am an adult with ADD so I was prescribed this to help symptoms of inattention. The side effects lasted 24 hrs."


"Experiencing severe hair loss!!!!!!!!!"


"First I wanna start by saying weight gain depends on you. Of course not everybody is the same and you can expect birth control to help you lose weight. Secondly this birth control is great, had to switch to it after the one I was taken got recalled (Yaz). So far this has made me happy. Like I said everyone is different, I've had no bloating, cramping, or weight gain. I have been a little emotional but it's something I can deal with."


"Was once on Lexapro 20mg many years ago. Stopped taking because of pregnancies. Been 20 months since my youngest was born and started to struggle badly. I finally caved in and went back in them. Have been on them now 12 days and still get a bit of nausea and always tired. Constant yawning. But mentally I have been great! I do feel a little dull in the emotions part but to be honest its better than it was before. Hopefully the side effects subside :)"


"Horrible. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years. Doctor decided that I would try this medication. I have tried over 30 medications with no results. This medication significantly increased my anxiety. I have social anxiety and normally only become anxious in social situations. When taking this medication I became anxious 24/7 and the anxiety intensity also increased. I felt like I was dying."


"Getting Skyla inserted was a breeze. From the moment she started insertion to the moment she was done was probably around 90 seconds, with 30 seconds of that having any sort of pain. If you've ever had bad period cramps, you know what it'll feel like. There's about 3 very intense, but bearable, cramps that feel just like a bad period cramp. As long as you breathe through them and stay relaxed, they are no biggie. After she was done I sat up slowly and felt 100% fine. I drove 2 hours back to school with no issue. For the first 48 hours I have VERY mild cramping that easily went away with Advil and some spotting. Its been a week and I feel great. I am experiencing a small breakout, but that could also be due to stress and eating like crap."


"It's my fourth post, been taking this medicine and watching what I eat been dieting since May 9th I have lost 106 pounds. I would recommend this to anybody."


"I was 120mg. Was great for my mood, but I had several side effects including: increase blood pressure, tachycardia, urinary hesitation, constipation, bloating, stomach pain, dry mouth, nausea, and UTI. My Dr. told me to choose whether I wanted to feel good mentally or physically. Looking for new Dr. I think I deserve both.  one without the  other is simply existing,and I want to live life happy and healthy."


"I had bad toenail fungal infection that would not respond to any other treatments. I took my prescribed cycle of lamisil and waited...and waited...and finally after 4 months I started seeing PERFECT toenails. I can wear open toed shoes again. You have to give it time to work. Some people may see results sooner than mine or up to a year. I am so glad my doctor prescribed this medicine."


"Bad drug I wonder If all the good reviews  on the internet was written by the Company behind it ...first i took 5mg X2  The morning dose made me sleepy at the point that I can't stay awake for 5 minutes...Now I take 10mg at night It makes me sleep for 12 hours (Can't wake up) & gave me Flat affect- totally impaired Thinking- Loss Of hope in life - Suicidal thoughts -Problems in tongue & Talking ( bec. Its sublingual) ...Horrible Drug & Don't Believe All the good reviews you read !"


"I started Belviq in March 2016.  Staring weight 225. Now July 2016. Down 23lb. Along with exercise and correct Thyroid medicine. Seeing great results.  Being on Belviq for 4 months the results are slowing down a bit.  Hoping it's just something I have to push thru.  Only side effect slight headache in the beginning."


"I was prescribed this for asthma.  I suffer from really bad cedar fever which is a problem in Texas.  I am a rather slim female and at first my doctor gave me the regular adult dosage.  It was too strong.  I had heart palpitations and almost called 911 once after taking it.  I requested my doctor give me an adolescents strength dosage - which he did.  That worked much better.  It still is a very strong and it knocked me out, but I didn't have to worry about calling 911 or not waking up from it.  Asthma is tough to treat.  Medicine is necessary, but sometimes the meds are as bad as the disease.  My advice is to start with the lowest dosage your doctor thinks will work.  You can always take more if necessary."


"I was prescribed Vyvanse to combat daily fatigue caused by autonomic dysfunction. It treats those symptoms very well, but prolonged use has a large impact on my mood and personality. By the 2nd week, I was feeling very sad all day every day. A strange side effect that I encountered was that it made my armpits quite literally drip with sweat. The only other bothersome side effect is that it initially kept me up until 5/6 am, but that was remedied with 0.1mg Clonidine before I went to bed. I'm sure this medicine works very well for those with ADD and ADHD, as that is what it is designed for. If you are looking for a solution to chronic fatigue caused by autonomic dysfunction, you may want to consider other options."


"I'm 19 and I've been on mononessa for about two years now. I originally started it to help with extremely heavy periods, but it has helped with so much more. I don't get ANY acne anymore, periods are so much lighter, cramps are almost completely gone, and cravings and mood swings are not near as bad. I highly recommend!"


"Relieved pain in 24 hours."


"Hi I just start taking Valtrex and has been working great. Just contracted HSV2 in Dec. 2011 its now Feb. 2012.. Went to hospital day after I saw all the lesions and was on famciclovir (Famvir).. Didnt really seem to do my for the lesions. I only had one week's worth of Famvir and was off antivirals until 3 weeks ago and had 3 mini outbreaks since then with 1 lesions each. Got on Valtrex haven't even had itching or tingling since. Thanks Valtrex."


"I have taken Roxicodone 15's and then 30's for years. Still in pain and fed up I asked my doctor about Methadone. Now I take it along with Gabapentin and I'm feeling better, it's helps with the pain and I can take care of my son, job and other responsibilities. I'm so grateful I asked."


"I got skyla inserted a little over a week ago. I'm 22 and haven't had any kids. The insertion was rough. My legs and hands went totally numb which was weird, but apparently not uncommon. However, It was all over within about 3 minutes. The pain was completely gone before the feeling in my legs and hands had even come back, and I drove home with no issues. I actually didn't even feel any cramping until today (9 days after insertion). Did anyone else have a delay in the onset of cramping or is that just me? Anyways, I've had a little spotting, but it all happened exactly the way that my doctor said it would. I'm fine, and this seems worth it. I have a low pain tolerance, and the worst imaginable anxiety. If I can do it, then you can too"


"I have been on Pristiq for about 8 months now for depression and still have bad mood swings but do have a boost in my energy level.  I am going to have to discontinue it in the next 2 months because their co-pay program ends and I will have to pay $130.00/month for it.  It's good but I cannot afford it."


"When I first got Implanon I was really excited about the positive potential it could have.  I had been on the pill and wanted something I didn't have to think about taking as well as the possibility of not having such a heavy cycle.  The insertion wasn't painful, although for a few days after my arm was really sore with a pretty large bruise.  I had the Implanon put in mid November and my cycle didn't stop.  My sex drive decreased and after having my period for months I started to get depressed.  I know for some people this birth control.  I have now started Loestrin 24FE and I have nothing but good things to say."


"For everyone posting bad reviews did any of you take it after eating a complete meal? I made the mistake of taking one before after eating a light snack and I got the fever chills etc. like everyone else, but if I take it after eating a good size meal then I'm fine. DON'T TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH! These antibiotics do work great! Don't let the bad reviews stop you from taking them just do what I said and eat real food and if you still have side effects then call your doctor. But from my experience as long as I eat no problems with them."


"DO NOT STOP taking this because you feel better. Husband been on this three years felt better stopped taking and passed out on the kitchen floor ended up in hospital did not remember not taking this so after a crap load of test and thousands of dollars it came down to the fact he stopped taking celexa and was detoxing to not try this scared the crap out of both of us. I thought I was going to have. To commit him to a mental hospital"


"I got mine put in February of 2010 and I got it while I was on my period. I was on my period from then all the way up to last April. Now my periods last up to 2 and a half to four weeks. I think over time my period will decrease. I haven't had any weight gain, nausea, depression, or acne, but my bleeding starts out heavy and then gets lighter. I have never been put on any other type of birth control so I can't say weather or not it's the best."


"I had no problems with this birth control, and I loved it. My periods only lasted from 3-4 days with VERY little cramping. I was pretty much disappointed when my OB told me that I couldn't get back on it for whatever reason."


"I'm only 26 years old and have been suffering from chronic back pain for 6 years (due to a fall). I haven't gotten much help from all the doctors I've had. They all treated me like an addict because I'm so young. Anyway my new doctor has given 50mg of Ultram but only 15 day supply. I wish I could have it everyday but the risk of addiction is not worth it. I'm am super grateful I get 15 days of relief a month. It has helped me be my happy go lucky self. I recommend it."


"Wellbutrin is the only antidepressant that has worked for me. I've tried 7 other kinds and all made me worse. Wellbutrins initial side effects were mild, mainly headache and nausea. But I noticed I was happier and more worry-free after a few weeks. I have to admit that this medicine made my appetite worse. I know its sometimes prescribed to help with obesity but it made me gain weight. If you are a smoker be careful because it will make you sick if you smoke, which is why I was able to quit smoking."


"I was on Yaz for about three months. I became moody, emotional, it gave me headaches, lowered my sex drive, and gave me anxiety. I just did not feel like myself on this pill. I have since switched to LOESTRIN and so far, its been good. No side effects yet. I'm feeling like myself again. My sex drive is still not what it used to be but I understand that most birth control pills cause a decrease in libido. I personally do not recommend YAZ but I know that each pill works differently for different people, but my friends that were on YAZ said the same things that I am saying."


"Severe hot flashes, unable to sleep, joints hurt and tired all the time.  Have had breast cancer twice so I hope this works."


"This medicine has worked wonders for me. I started for 2 months on 150mg and then transitioned into 300mg. At first I had anxiety a little but it went away. I am much more happy, energized, I enjoy life more and I finally started to love myself. This medicine has given me my confidence back and I started to dress better, put makeup on in the morning and care about myself. I don't know how long I will be on it but it really gave me a huge boost to start living again and being around family and friends. I also lost 20 pounds so far. I am on a diet and its very easy to follow. I think this medicine is helping since I have no cravings at all."


"The first three days seemed promising, then I began having anxiety jolts.  It was tolerable.  The anxiety jolts are constant and start around 1pm.  If I get stressed or tense the agitation kicks in. I can't tolerate it, I have two small children and you can imagine your patience is being tried anyhow.  My goodness I am wiped out and I get emotional after the agitation period. I stopped taking Celexa and began taking 40mgs Viibryd.  This morning I backed down the dosage to 20mgs in hopes of feeling better.  I tried calling my doctor today. I want my Celexa back. I at least wasn't having the all above. I wanted to feel better but Viibryd isn't it.  I can't imagine that it is going to get better."


"I was prescribed this medication to help me sleep. I take it with Lortab and Xanax. It really helps with sleeping but if I don't eat before I take it the nausea is really bad, which is strange because it's also prescribed for nausea and vomiting. "


"I started having panic attacks at age 26, I'm now 56. Those were the worst things a person could go thru. My first shrink in 86 put me on Haldol. Oh my God, that was horrible. I was on different medications until 1994 when I got on klonopin. That pill is a miracle drug. I don't have to take it everyday anymore but I always carry it with me in my purse just in case. I do take other meds for depression and they also help but nothing like klonopin. Because I hear it can contribute to Alzheimer's I try not to take it daily. That's all I need ontop of my other mental problems. I would advise anyone to take klonopin for major panic attacks but try not to take a lot of it for long periods. Maybe in conjunction with something else u can take less."


"I had several days of DHE IV's, a good try of migraines. A few weeks of injectable DHE and it didn't do a thing for me.  I wish it worked for my constant headache.  I heard a lot of good things about it."


"I have been taking 25 mg of Vistaril once per day for about the past month. I take it at night. I have depression and anxiety pretty bad with the anxiety being the stronger
of the two issues. I can't handle stress very well at all either. I am taking 40mg of Prozac a day also. The Vistaril at first, made me drowsy and lethargic. It took me about a week to adjust. Now I feel much better. I can sleep at night and feel decent when I wake up. It's not perfect but I am not getting any side effects and it's improved my life. I would recommend trying it but I would only take at night and do not drive after taking it until you get used to it."


"The only side effect is weight loss and lower heart rate/blood pressure.  No food craving. Highly recommended!"


"I have been on Soma 350 off and on for thirty years for back pain. The only relaxant that actually works and I can function as a normal person. It is hard to get anymore. Doctors are afraid to give out. I have tried others nothing works as well. I don't understand why it is so hard to get now."


"Short version. I used the monistat egg product about two weeks ago due to a yeast infection. Prior to use, I had major itch and burning sensations. About two hours after inserting the monistat egg, it was minimal burn and itch. I did feel slightly nauseas but the following day every symptom disappeared.

This product worked great for me.  Every woman's body is different.  Personally, I wouldn't allow other women's negative experience or comments stop me from trying this product out."


"Was on Lexapro for over 5 years for depression. I could definitely notice a difference for the better. Was no longer suicidal and could work and function on a daily basis again. But still think I could have been happier than I was. The only side effect was loss of libido."


"I just took my first dose of the 10mg Brintellix after a week of the 5mg. I take mine at night with my Latuda which requires 350 calories so I've  experienced virtually no nausea. I'm very surprised that I have taken so well to this drug. Generally, I experience a lot of the negative side effects but this time I haven't. I'm hopeful that we will reach a dose that really removes the depression and I can start living my life again. I haven't noticed any weight gain , which is always a concern of mine. I'm hopeful that this will be the one but  I've also been hopeful in the past and have been let down."


"I have had IBS for about 18 years. Symptoms of bloating, swollen stomach,  looking like I'm 6 mos pregnant, severe cramps, very loose bowels. Symptoms lasting weeks making me home bound and in bed. Eating crackers and drinking juice. I have went to a number of doctors. Finally my gastrollgist prescribing Bentyl. I was taking it 3 times daily then 2 times daily. Because of making me tired, I now only take it when I have flare ups. I try to take it at night when possible.  This medicine has really helped me. I highly suggest it."


"I've run the gamut of bi polar meds...you name it I've probably tried it. well this med has been a difference maker. no side effects that I can recognize, better mood, more talkative, less depressed and I also have ocd, it has helped that in a big way. I feel kinda free! its coupled with zoloft and seroquel and I think I've found my niche!"


"I have been on Clonezepam for 2 different reasons. 1 for Anxiety 1mg pill 3xs a day, and then 1mg at bedtime to help Insomnia. It REALLY helps with the anxiety part with me losing both parents & dealing with my own rheumatoid arthritis at age 26. To those worried about becoming addicted or physically dependent on this medicine, I wouldn't worry about it too much as I been on it for 3  yrs now and I haven't had to had to up my dose at all and have been on steady 4mg daily. There were a few times where my doctor went on vacation & it was my fault for not getting my script early. My Anxiety was bad for 3-4 days BUT I felt NO WITHDRAWALS or SICKNESS at all from lack of the clonazepam."


"I have been taking citalopram HBR 10 mg for about a year. I have had more restfull nights than I have had in many years. Hot flashes have been reduced by 90 percent, none at night!! My anxiety is gone most of the time. So far so good. I don't know what long term use will do to my organs. I haven't found a lot of information on long term use.  Over all very happy with this medication!!"


"Been  on Necitumumab 3 years and last CT scan showed  no nodules or tumers.   Do have bad skin rash under arms and groin .   Feet very rough and heels cracking

Also some trouble urinating but also have BPH

All in all feel pretty good"


"I've just been on 60mg for 4 weeks and the improvement has been great.  My anxiety is all but gone..and I can't tell you how good it feels not to worry about every single thing i life.  I enjoy things more and can focus longer as a result, absorbing things better, instead of just randomly seeing everything.  I was a bit nauseous to start and tired, but its all but gone as well.  I've also lost 2 pounds..Very happy so far!"


"I have had multiple sclerosis for 12 years. Been on every medicine, steroids and the list goes on. 1 dose of tysabri. I'm walking 50% of the time without my walker (which I was using 100% of the time for the last 2 years). My mental and my balance have made a great recovery. I can't wait for my second dose!"


"I have "fibromyalgia," severe muscle pain from a twisted spine/congenitally deformed vertebrae. I was getting better with yoga, but hurt my back/rib muscles overdoing. I developed depression on gabapentin after a few weeks. At first it dulled the pain and made me feel lightheaded, and I had memory problems. Then my anxiety increased and the pain continued, and hit a real low.  I spent two weeks in a psych ward until a brilliant psych nurse who believed in treating muscle pain. I am now recovering on a mix of robaxin, a muscle relaxer, a low dose of valium for rib spasms, and prozac and remeron (for sleep) and hope to get off all of them once I can exercise again.  Similar reaction to Lyrica four years ago."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have sleep apnea and use the c-pap but still felt so tired and my mind did not work. My sleep Dr. prescribed Nuvigil 150 mg. It was and is a miracle pill. I have taken it for 11 months. I feel like a new person with so much more energy. I deal with diabetes type 2, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, acid reflux and depression. I am not over-weight and am the only one in my large family with these problems but Nuvigil has helped me to cope much better. I was worried about it becoming habit forming and having to take larger and larger doses. But I only take 1/2 tablet in the morning usually. If I am going to be busier than normal, sometimes, I take the other half at lunch. But not often. IT IS STILL MY MIRACLE PILL."


"My significant other died within 5 days of starting this medication.  Please double check with your prescriber before starting this medication, as this was the only different one he began to use.  We believe he died from a massive stroke."


"I promised I would write this because just like you I was scouring the Internet for answers. I had unprotected sex on April 17th, the last day of my period, and my BF finished in me. He said not to worry since I was on my period but I was already freaking out so the next day I bought the plan B pill. I never had any side effects and it didn't make me sick. May 13th was when I was supposed to start my perod..and I didn't. So begins the freaking out even more and buying multiple pregnancy tests. Every test I took was negative but that didn't reassure me. My period is 11 days late but I finally started today!! I know it's hard not to but try not to worry. If you took this pI'll how you're supposed to it will work."


"I was prescribed 500mg 2x day for 7 days.  I am on day 3, side effects so far are fatigue and flu like symptoms.     I have not experienced the bad taste.   Hopefully this works have never taken this before."


"I think I had every possible side effect there was to have with this birth control. I gave this method several attempts and still FAIL. I had rashes wherever I put it, skin discoloration, constant yeast infections (no matter the placement), headaches, nausea, it kept coming off, bloating. The one good thing I can say about it is (no babies). Good luck, everyone is different."


"I've been on Zovia for at least a year now, I had tried two other types of pills before this point, but they basically made me have a period for at least two weeks out of the month. Zovia has worked really well, I have typical periods now and they last maybe 4 days? My acne has cleared up a lot, and I did end up going a cup size and gaining some weight (this might be related to other things in my life though, so I'm not 100% going to blame the birth control for this). My PMS is better than it used to be (I used to have the worst mood swings before I went on any pill at all), however my sex drive is super low. I'd say that's probably the only bad part?"


"Hyperhidrosis basically has controlled my life for as long as I can remember, and I am a senior in high school right now. My first memory of excessive sweating goes back to eighth grade right after I took a test, and I saw on my bright blue shirt a small but obvious ring of sweat. My sweating requires a trigger, generally anxiety, stress, or if I am put on the spot. Therefore, when I am at home with my family I am completely dry and there is nothing wrong. Anyways, I've been wearing baggy stuff and black shirts for the last three years, and that works to cover up the sweat, but not the smell. I finally told my mom, she called my doctor and prescribed me to hypercare, I wore a white shirt to my practice and zero sweat. Life saver."


"Excellent."


"I have used Esgic for 15 years and it really works for me. I was relieved to hear of Fioricet when I was just told that Esgic is now off the market! It is the only thing that cuts a bad migraine and also is a lifesaver for recent onset TMJ. Sometimes the tried and true old standbys work the best!"


"Wow! I can't even begin to uplift this medication enough. If opiates are your addiction of choice please see a Doctor to see if this drug is right for you. I have been off opiates now for 1 1/2 years and have had not one relapse."


"I was prescribed 4 X 80mg tablets a day by some doctor a friend told me to go see, long story short, I was snorting them everyday, at least two to three a day. I tried to stop cold turkey, but was impossible, found out about Suboxone on internet, went to a doctor who can prescribe them, it's been two weeks now. I don't even have to take the suboxone anymore, they are super effective and I recommend them to anyone who wants their lives back. IT TAKES SOME WILL POWER AS WELL, BUT WITHOUT SUBOXONE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP."


"This medication helped with my congestion however it makes me anxious, gives me a rapid heart beat and insomnia. "


"I am honestly the happiest person ever since my Psychiatrist prescribed Depakote for me, NO MORE RAPID CYCLING!! I take two 500mg tablets about 20 minutes minutes before bed and I sleep throughout only waking up when my back aching in pain; I'll save that for my Baclofen and Prednisone post. I do not experience the manic highs as I was once did; however I still have my low days but everyone does! My low days are no where near the days when I on Trileptal or any SSRIs. I was taking Ability and Lithium for a week (this is my experience) I started seeing the world in two-dimensions, sort of like the early Nintendo characters. I freaking out!! That was it. Make sure to get blood tests every months to ensure your Depakote are in line. A  "


"Works well but does not mix well with hydrochlorothiazide (water pill). Causes blood pressure to decrease too much."


"Osteoarthritis in right knee eventually lead to bone on bone. After my last scope Nov. 2015, the pain persisted to where I had a steroid injection. It relieved some of the pain for 2 months (considered non-effective according to FDA), then the excruciating pain returned. Last nonsurgical option was Orthovisc, which all 3 injections were very painful. I didn't experience relief until 2-3 weeks after the last injection. I have been pain free, with an occasional very brief episode (seconds) of some pain. Now it's October 2017, and it's been wearing off. But 12 months worth of no pain was definitely worth it. So glad I toughed it out!"


"I had been battling the worst ear infection for about three days with a big ear ache that I finally gave in on the fourth day and went to the doctor who prescribed Ciprodex. I felt relief from the first dosage. I'm going on my fourth day using this medicine, and my pain is completely gone. I still have somewhat of a stuffed ear and loss of hearing, but I can slowly start to hear more and the stuffiness is going away. The only downfall is that even with my insurance, this medicine cost me $85! I will say given the amount of ear pain I've endured lately that the price was worth it!!"


"First, I have to say this birth control is very effective for what it is intended. My period is very regular; I always know the day it will come. After deciding with my then-boyfriend to have unprotected sex, it also never failed me.
However, those are the only two good things I experienced. I was nauseous, anxious, and at times very depressed while on Falmina. Nausea was the worst symptom for me and heightened after drinking or not eating enough. At times, I'd be vomiting for hours straight. I can't be happier to be off this drug after what I've experienced."


"I hope it can help you to choose to switch or not to this med..

I was on Atripla for 5 years (everything great but some common side effects like the alcohol feeling after 1 hour taking it). My doc told me there is a new one lighter for long time use and without neurological side effects, Genvoya.

First day (maybe because of the switch): nausea all night and vomit

First week: a really strong headache all day long and dizzy spells. And when someone use sarcasm for example I couldn't get it directly like my brain was so looow. Also to focus on a talk it was really hard.

I wasn't not me anymore.

So I told my doc and he said it's ok you tried enough you can restart Atripla from tonight and I REALLY prefere my 1 h drunk feeling than this all day!"


"I have to take a very low dose or suffer from stomach problems and diarrhea. If I miss just one day can allow mild seizures to come through. Otherwise it works well."


"So far my experience with this birth control method has been fabulous, I got it 6wks postpartum & had one period that was very light bleeding and lasted about a week, I haven't experienced weight gain nor hair loss. The insertion was 100% painless."


"So I started the injections 3 days ago and I'm already down 5 lbs. I'm not necessarily overweight however I have significant thyroid issues and I am Limited on medications due to cardiac issues. After reading the reviews of the side effects I was skeptical however I have had mild nausea on the .6 dose and it has decreased my appetite however I never had one to start with. Shall see if that changes in a week when I increase the dose."


"Today is my 2nd day on this medication. I have ibd-d .I take 10mg at night. this med has started working from day 1 im so happy i finally feel normal, i could never be away from home i wasbalways scared that i needed to use the restroom . one day i would go many times i would never eat and i will always bee on inmodium thta will only work for me for a few hourd and then i would be back to the toilet , i could never be out some where longer then 2 hours i could never take my childre out to the part or anywhere with out beeing rushed to go home to be near a bathroom. the side effect that im experiensing right now is that im just sleepy throught the day and thirsty, i will come back in a few weeks to see how is it goin!"


"Great medication for curing UTI but the side effects are horrendous and not worth it.  After 3 days tendon pain in my heels, pain and tingling in my feet made it almost impossible to walk.  Dr. took me off immediately and now, more than 3 months later the pain is finally beginning to subside.  Never suffered side effects from any medication when younger but now at 65 have to be extremely careful."


"I'm 55 and have been suffering from increasing erectile dysfunction for 6-8 years now. I don't know why other than I work a lot of hours at my business, some days 18- 20 hours so I'm exhausted much of the time. My wife is very sexual and I haven't been cutting it in bed with soft, not maintaining or no erection at all and not much desire, so I broke down and got my doctor to prescribe Sildenafil. It worked great but only enough for 8 times per month. Switched to Cialis 5mg daily and it's been great, no planning and a stud in bed. No side effects."


"I used this birth control for almost a year, but i decided to stop using it because it was causing me to have really bad mood swings, made me feel like a zombie (emotionless). From the first day I started using this birth control to the last I spotted every single day. The only good thing that came from it i was able to eat again, gained 20 pounds in about 3 months, it cleared my acne and I grew 1 bra size. It also made my feet grow to. This birth control caused me to become hypoglycemic, and gave me an inverted nipple that I have to forever live with. This birth control does it's job and prevents pregnancy but the side effects are not worth it. I recommend trying other birth controls before this one."


"Does a great job as both birth control and helping with my endo symptoms! My only complaint is the spotting and sometimes it makes my period still a bit irregular (i.e., longer) and odd."


"I got Jaydess (Canadian name for Skyla) inserted on Feb 22. It was a painful insertion for me with 3 very intense cramps, each lasting about 10 seconds. I took both acetaminophen and ibuprofen before the appointment. Immediately after I was ok, but the cramping kicked in while driving home and I spent the night taking ibuprofen and using a hot water bottle on the couch. The cramping subsided over the next few days and I know get short ones every once and awhile as I still adjust. The biggest thing is the bleeding. I have literally been bleeding everyday since insertion. I really hope it stops soon. Quite discouraging. Other than that, no other side affects yet."


"Its been 3 months now off Xanax ( was taking up to 4 mg a day for 2 years after brother killed himself) and I'm just now starting to feel like myself again.  Coming off the xanax was the hardest thing I've ever done.  I had to force myself to work and keep my job. I had good days and bad days (more bad than good). My symptoms were crazy. No sleep, headaches, shakes, twitching, pain everywhere, memory problems. If I knew how hard it is to come off benzo's, I never would have touched it. Short term use= ok. Stressful event=ok. If this helps one person, then yay. Please be careful! Don't end up detoxing off of a benzo and going thru hell for weeks or months. Research this med. Not fun!"


"Have only been taking for three days. Have some headaches, nausea, no big deal. I don't like the feeling after my second dose at night. I have gotten panicky and felt like I was going to have a panic attack, but have not so far. I am mainly using this to quit smoking and I see that it is triggering my anxiety somewhat, but I have already lost the urge to smoke and will quit on my quit date. I would rather deal with side effects for a couple weeks than die of lung cancer and leave my children with no mother. Especially after losing my mother at a young age and my grandfather. I am hoping this will help my depression and anxiety after I am used to it. I can't wait to be smoke-free soon."


"A wonderful medication with no apparent side effects that just works. It does make you feel good, which can equate to some psychological dependency, however it is not physically addicting. I have been on 350 mg three times per day. It is a wonderful relief from pain medication to help pain in my back and neck. This is derived from a discontinued medication called Miltown, which was derived from a barbiturate."


"As a new Crohn's patient I had read a lot of horror stories about this disease and the medications used to control it - myself, I went on Azathioprine first but it stopped working gradually. Humira has honestly been a God send so far, I have my life back and no symptoms 99% of the time, I'm so thankful! Only thing I'm worried about now is if it stops working, but nothing has happened yet and I am past the danger zone apparently."


"This medicine caused me to have frequent bowel movements, a little fatigued, but overall it did not seem as harsh as some antibiotics I have experienced."


"Took first does, went within a few hours no side effects  bm a little muddy other wise perfect BM insurance covered after doing prior authorization request from doc, I also had to try every OTC med before medicaid covered it"


"I started taking Pristiq 100mg Last July. Initially I had headaches, mood swings, anxiousness and found it hard to sleep. This lasted about a week. With the initial combination of melatonin I was able to get into a routine of taking the pristiq in the morning and melatonin at night, both roughly at the same time to sleep the same amount each day. For nine months I have taken pristiq by itself now and have found that it has significantly decreased anxiety, stopped me from internalising almost completely and has reduced my mood swings considerably. I have slightly reduced sex drive, put on a bit of weight and a want to smoke and fidget. I have found pristiq beneficial to my life but frustrating at times."


"I've been on Victoza for 2 months.  After 2 weeks on 0.06 I lost 7 lbs. My a1c before Victoza was good, just very slightly above normal (pre-diabetic range).  I had been controlling my type 2 with low carb diet and 500mg metformin twice daily.  But morning blood sugars were always 90's to low 100's, until Victoza. Then morning tests came back in the 80's.. woo hooo!  After another 2 weeks the effects of the lowest dose seem to wear off and my appetite came back and my fasting sugar went up a little bit, so I thought it's time to up my dose.  I did and my appetite went away but I felt so tired and drained.  Also, I experience tingling in my left foot, kind of like it's asleep but lighter.  So I stopped taking it completely."


"When I started taking phendimetrazine I was at 200lbs! I was down 60lbs after only 4 months. I really miss this medicine as it really gave me the right amount of energy I needed to keep a healthy regime going. I have a military doctor now and they will only prescribe orlistat. Phendimetrazine was life changing for me in a positive way."


"I have had a severe back injury and have been off work since Nov '06 and I first was on Vicodin and that didn't work anymore so they had put me on the Norco to cover the pain. It works wonders and I take 1-2 around every 4 hrs. BUT it has became very habit forming and I don't see an easy end to trying to cut back or get off these pills. They work great for pain but be careful!"


"I got my very first Mirena put in five years ago.  That experience was a little painful.  Only because I have never had children and my cervix is quite small.  My OB/GYN had to dilate me to insert it.  It was only about 5 minutes of intense cramping but it wasn't awful.  After I had it inserted, I spotted and cramped for one day.  Fast forward five years later.  I just had that one removed and my second one put in.  No pain for the removal, just a slight pinch.  Much easier time getting the second one.  Again, only spotted and slight cramping for one day.   For the five years that I had the first one, I only spotted periodically.  Nothing more.  I have the Mirena not only for pregnancy prevention, but for a medical issue as well.  I love it"


"After taking the 2nd dose, I began having a very bad burning feeling in my stomach. Then my back muscles hurt. The was no getting comfortable. I also could only urinate once in 10 hours when I had been going about every 2 hours prior. About 10 hours after I took that dose, I finally and unexpectedly vomited. I fell asleep for a few hours and when I woke, my backache was gone and I wasn't doubled over in pain from my stomach. I immediately decided that I wasn't even going to try another dose and called to be put on something different. It's now been 5 days since I took this medicine and my stomach still feels like it has a hole eaten through it."


"I had to go to the ER tonight. I had viral respitatory illness. My head was throbbing with pressure from sinus's being stuffed up and my ears and throat burned. I was short of breath and my chest hurt when I would breath and I could stop coughing.  They prescribed me this and tussinex. I stopped coughing within 20 mins and I feel So much better. No coughing my my sinus's are drying up and I can breath again ! Miracle drug ! Amazing!"


"I've been on the generic sertraline 50mg for about two weeks , and I feel

So much better . I was very depressed , irritable , had insomnia and felt like a total failure at life . I had a little diarrhea at first, but then I also have IBSD so I wasn't surprised . After a few days that stopped . I feel like my Old self again , like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders . I'm even singing again , I haven't done that in about a year . I was in denial for a long time , I told myself I could handle the depression -I was wrong . This is the first anti-depressant I've been on and I am very pleased with how much it has helped me."


"Didn't seem to work very well for me."


"I had the Implanon implant inserted July 2010. Initially, I had a large deep purple bruise (I bruise easily and colorfully), some tenderness at the site of the Implanon, and was a little moody for the first two months. Afterwards, I was feeling just the same as before. Now, February 2012 I am having it removed. Up until recently, I have never had a problem with the implant and I would get it again. As of May 2011 I have not had a menstrual cycle. Before that, I had cycles roughly every three weeks. Now I am going to make an appointment to have it removed to give my body a break from hormonal birth control."


"I experienced all of the above including thinning hair & immediate memory loss, it also effected my over all disposition and gave me what I didn't realize until after terminating my use extreme confusion/depression and extreme fatigue. Over all depression lifted a few months later and I was amazed at how my out-look brightened. This treatment definitely has a psychological effect that is not truly recognized. Density went from -2.8 to -2.7. More effects probably over shadowed by the more noticeable ones. Do not recommend this drug to anyone the side effects and effort to use are not worth the extremely small gain. Lost almost 2 years of my life due to my depressive fatigued state. At 68 I would like to have them back."


"It's pretty good at controlling my asthma, but when my allergies get worse (which is always) or when I have a cold, it doesn't help much."


"This drug is horrendous. I spent a week in a psychiatric ward the year I was twenty, and they titrated it up to ten milligrams by the time I was let out. I was a complete zombie, exhausted all the time - could fall asleep anywhere, any time of the day - so anxious that I had to keep moving my body to function. Kept crossing and uncrossing my legs, wringing my hands, etc. I was so numbed out I simply didn't enjoy life. I don't know how I managed to not kill myself. This thing will wreck you."


"Reading some reviews from other sites had me so nervous! But I'm here to say, this pill has been God sent! My only complaint may be that it made me a bit more emotional. My periods last 4 days and are light! No boob growth but my skin has been clearing up! Love it!"


"I switched to TriNessa after being on a lower estrogen pill for three months. The previous pill caused some irregularity in my periods. TriNessa did regulate my period. But the improvements in my acne on the other pill unraveled a bit. I get acne just like I did before ever going on birth control. Sex drive has decreased slightly but nothing detrimental. No weight gain but I do have one terrible evening of nausea once a month during the week before the placebo pills."


"I have been taking Firocet for years and it has been moderately effective for my migraines , which I usually have one per week.

My Dr. last week recommended Cambia, was skeptical about it but was in agony and gave it a try. Within 45 minutes I was up and functional. Will only use in severe cases. Also very costly if you have no insurance."


"Nitrofurantoin caused extreme nausea."


"I've been on the NuvaRing since 2005 and I love it.  No pregnancies, my period shortened from about 7 days to 4 days.  I also used to have bad cramps but this helped a lot.  I've tried Ortho Tri-cyclen (hated it, gained a lot of weight that took many years to take off), Tri-Norinyl (liked this but still had to take a pill everyday), Paraguard IUD (hurt for the 1st week then was fine, expelled it after 3 months though).  My sex drive did not decrease on NuvaRing.  My only complaint is my skin is a little worse and every once in a while I have to take it out during sex.  Thumbs up from my boyfriend and myself."


"I should wait til treatment is over to give a full rating, but I want to let you ladies know there are diet plans out there for us who suffer with yeast regularly! I've been doing ACV and lots of garlic to combat this nasty fungus as well as today cutting out all sugar related products. I'm already feeling so much better down there!  I inserted my first generic brand cream tonight and OH MY GOODNESS it is intense! I really wanted to wipe it off and was whimpering but kept telling myself it must be the product working. Eventually the hell subsided. It's still mildly itchy about 2 hours later but it's supplementation for all the other natural antifungals I'm trying out. Fingers crossed!"


"This brand of pain medication makes me itch very badly.  I have never had this problem with Percocet."


"After two days I started to feel better. The pain in my kidney caused by the infection decreased and disappeared after two days. It is very important that you take the pill at the same time each day and I was late a couple hours, a couple times. Overall it worked well for me, with no side effects."


"I've been on this for about 3 months. I've suffered from depression and anxiety since high school but some days it seemed unbearable to the point I've gotten nauseous and it was never that bad. Period lasts about 4 days 2 of this days seemed heavy. Even after my period I experienced cramping still more on one side then the other. I'm debating whether or not to just stop taking it all together. I don't feel like myself and I feel short tempered a lot of days and I hate that feeling. I rather be on nothing at all and just be happier. Skin is not 100% clear but off birth control it does seem to be worse."


"I noticed on day 4 that I became calmer, and my attitude is totally positive now, nothing bothers me, and at work, on IT helpdesk, the employees who call in ask what I have been smoking because I'm so nice.  I'm sure this is a good thing, but I feel a little goofy sometimes, like my brain won't work, and I fell in front of the office the other day but I wasn't dizzy.  I caught the toe of my shoe in a crack of the sidewalk and went down before I even knew I was falling.  I fell hard. I have sexual side effects and can't climax anymore but I don't miss it cause my desire has been taken away as well.  On the whole, I like it.  Buspar made me sleepy and I want to lose the Anxiety without any sleepiness, so this works."


"I began taking this medication on Saturday and by Monday (3 days later), I felt awful. I had a general feeling of illness; nausea; and pain in my back, legs, arms and hands to the extent that I had to take Oxycodone. The med did seem to be working somewhat because I was feeling less drainage in my throat, but not enough to cut out Claritin and Sudafed. In case my symptoms were the result of something else, I'm going to try Montelukast again in a couple weeks."


"I have being taking Byetta & Lantus for 3mths, i'm allergic to metformin. my blood glucose has been very high 22.8 being the highest & average 12-13 now the highest is 18.2 average 10-14 fasting morning readings 9-10 which is still very high - i'm ambivalent with my feelings of byetta - i am disappointed as I really thought it would work brilliantly for me...i've always had nausea as the main side-effect it's severity varies somedays it's shocking other days dissipates with a ginger tea but it's never not being there! I have a review with my GP which will up byetta to 10mcg & then reveiw with endocrinlogist 2mths where he might restart me on a brand new protocol - - which might be a good thing - - as this clearly isn't working"


"I have spasticity (stiffness) in my lower back and right leg due to multiple sclerosis.  I had used marijuana for quite a while and it helped my spasticity but was not good for my cognitive thinking.  I stopped the marijuana and began taking baclofen 20 mg x 3 /day.  I walk and feel so much better.  I might not be as aware of how much better I am until I miss or delay taking it. I have experienced no side effects."


"Absolutely amazing, I have my life back!! I went to hospital got stressed and almost blacked out. My bp was 189/120 AND would not come down. I have been migraine sufferer for 10+ years. 3 to 4 time a week I have to take immitrex which I cannot stand the side effects of. I have been on bp medicine for 6 months now and not 1 migraine!!!! Mild headaches occasionally managed with Tylenol or advil. Amazing results!!!"


"My derma prescribed me 0.05% Tretinoin and I've been using it for 2 weeks and my pimples are becoming bigger. There's so many new pimples on my cheeks. Is this normal? Should I continue using it?"


"Updating my 3 mri's and xray I'm stable nothing new just dealing with old damages . I've been in copaxone 8 years on Feb 8 . The 40 mg hurts more but if I'm stable with nothing new I'm sticking with my copaxone."


"I was on Xanax for several years (4-5 mg per day). It helped a lot in the beginning, but the longer I took it the more jittery I became. My doctor finally put me on Klonopin up to 3 mg a day and it has been amazing. I have only been taking 2 mg a day so far, but I'm sure I will probably need 3mg at some point. But I went directly from Xanax to Klonopin and I have never missed the Xanax. I was really afraid I would have a lot of withdrawal problems but I suppose the Klonopin took care of that. Anyway it has been amazing how much better I feel and sleep since changing to the Klonopin. It has changed my life. I'm so thankful my doctor tried it. I really didn't want to take anything but I don't think I have a choice. I need it to function normally."


"I'm going to give you the total rundown of this pill because I couldn't find one single descriptive review and my anxiety was through the roof when I first started. I am 18 years old with terrible, irregular heavy flow so my doctor prescribed this for me. My mom also wanted me to be safe if I were to try anything with my boyfriend. So, I am 5'2, around 107 pounds and I have been taking this for almost 2 months now. I have not gained any weight nor have I experienced any acne, if anything, I've lost 3 pounds and my skin is glowy (mind you, I am a couch potato). I did, although, experience nausea every day. I started at 6 PM-I would wake up in the middle of the night with low blood pressure. Don't recommend this starting time. Helped flow!"


"I started taking citalopram about a month and a half ago. Started with 10 mg now on 20 mg. I did not have severe anxiety, however I did not feel like my old happy, carefree self. I self diagnosed myself with social anxiety and finally talked to my doctor. This medication has definitely helped me. Easier to get out of bed every day, worry less and focus on what makes me happy. Overall I feel a lot better, however it is not black and white. I still have anxiety in stressful situations but my day to day life feels easier."


"I promised to come back and do a review of the medicine if it had worked for me. About a year ago I had constant panic attacks which eventually became fear to drive, fear to be at a restaurant, waking up and feeling that it would be my last day on this world. Doctor said I have anxiety disorder. After trying another medicine with no results started me on 0.5mg Sertraline. After a year I can honestly say that I am 98% "panic free". Huge relief within the first couple weeks but give it some time to experience the full medicine effect (couple months). Noticeable side effects: Sometimes I need to focus on remembering simple things, weight LOSS (at the beginning) now I'm normal again. "


"My girlfriend took this the night after our condom broke. She took the pill about 12 hours later and it prevented the pregnancy.  She said it made her a little dizzy when she took it, but its well worth the minor side effects."


"I have tried a lot of different medications for fibromyalgia. Some work but cause significant weight gain. This one works significantly well. I actually stopped taking it for 3 months because my I didn't have insurance, and my body felt HORRIBLE. It became WORSE AND WORSE. I started taking it again and I felt SO much better. For those of you that truly experience the extreme fatigue and pain from fibromyalgia, I strongly recommend trying Topiramate."


"Spiriva has greatly reduced my wheezing and congestion, in addition to increasing lung capacity.  So I guess you can say that Spiriva is just what the doctor ordered!!"


"I have been on the NuvaRing for about 7 months now. It is the best birth control I have used. It is hassle free for me and I do not have to remember to take a pill. The only side effects I have gotten are a little backache, little mood swings and slight cramping, but the plus side is I have shorter periods and lighter ones, overall best decision ever!"


"My Fiancé had a little too much fun the night before. He was vomiting all day, and could not keep any fluids down. I go him the emetrol and he vomited 5 minutes after because he had just drank water. So right after he vomited I gave him more. Told him not to drink anything. It took about 4 doses. This was a very severe hangover. He was throwing up until 10pm at night. But this stuff did the trick! 15 minutes afterwards, I had him take small sips of Gatorade and water every 5 minutes. He finally fell asleep and kept his liquids down. I highly recommend this stuff!"

"My grandson was visiting and started flu symptoms. I believe he was approximately 9 years old. We obtained Tamiflu very early in his symptoms and during the first day he experienced what looked like a psychotic reaction.. It was as though he became hysterical and was hallucinating. I was barely able to control him. The psychotic episode cleared up the next day, but he never took another dose after that first one. This was a very upsetting event, and I would say the risk is not worth the potential benefits. Who knows how bad it would have gotten if he received more pills. DO NOT TRY IT."


"Went to the ER and they injected me with this, I immediately began coughing, fell back onto the bed, and began shaking uncontrollably and could not speak. The nurse panicked and her eyes got teary, she then told me to fall alseep and I refused because I was so scared! At 24 years old I was not ready for this, I felt I was going to die. Took me an hour to stop the shaking and my headache was still there. Never again! I am now traumatized from that experience and am afraid to ever get injected before knowing what exactly the drug is and its effects. Stay away from it please."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Using Pradaxa, rather new, only a month.  However, taking two pills a day rather than needle-testing is so much easier.  The only side effect is a slight weight gain."


"It's working well so far.  it did take a week to get into my system."


"With 20 mg of Brintelix, my depression and my anxiety lowered by great means. But I had no energy and no focus. My doc then added 2 mg of Abilify. Wow! I'm now fully energic during the day and I have my life back. With a bonus: no gain weight or other side effects."


"Had a 102 degrees temp for 4 days, 101 degrees for 4 days. Felt like I was coughing up my lungs and could not catch my breath. Sounded like a gurgling sound in my lungs all the time. Was the worst I ever felt. Went to Dr. and got a shot and within 6 hrs I was ready to go cut the grass."


"Going into week 2 and my side effects has subsided. I feel pretty good I must say. Will keep you posted week by week."


"Good"


"I have been on the duragesic patches 100mcg every 2 days a little over 3 years for chronic pain due to a failed lumbar fusion surgery. Before going on the patch I was taking 10-15 loritab's a day , which tore my gastrointestinal system apart.  These patches were a Godsend. with norco as a break through med.  I usually only have to take if I get a little over active . The only reason I didn't rate a 10 was a few side effects sweats and constipation being the worse. gains beat that easy."


"Since starting on the 5mg trintellix for a week I started to notice a gradual difference in overall anxiety and depression.  For several months I had been taking Celexa with no change, then Lexapro with very little change. I take the 10mg trin in the morning and can notice more of a difference now than with prior SSRI's. I also take two 1mg dosage of clonazepam  throughout the the day.  For those who have tried so many others I recommend a start on the 5 for 7 to 10 days, then a direct increase to the 10mg. If the 5mg isn't packing enough of a punch. I've had no side effects but this med is expensive. Several pharmaceutical reps. I know also take it and have said they can tell a difference."


"Before Plaquenil, I would be in bed for days at a time, unable to move, excessive pain, ice cold, migraines, the whole gamut.  My body felt ancient.  At first the rheumatologist thought I had leukemia, then Lupus and rheumatoid athritis and finally biopsies started giving us a more refined treatment plan.  With this medicine, I am in much less pain.  I can walk for an hour at a time.  I can shop for groceries again.  I feel like I have a life again.

I have had brief periods, never more than a month without it, and I know that life without the benefit of Plaquenil is no life at all.  Yes, I have to see the retina specialist but in all this time, my eyes are fine.  Don't hesitate to try it even though new treatments can be scary!"


"This medication has been very effective by almost eliminating my daily pain. When I do experience headache, jaw and neck pain, it's now usually milder than before and easily treated with a pain reliever.

Additional benefits include helping me fall asleep easier and reducing the symptoms of a serious sleep disorder.

The only negative side effect directly related to this med has been severe thirst requiring me to drink water and urinate very frequently. However this annoying and inconvenient side effect is well worth it.  I'm also at high risk for angle closure, but am unsure if it's related.

I lived with chronic pain from my mid 20s through my late 30s before starting this medication. I only wish I started taking it earlier in life."


"I am 44 years old and never had children. My periods over the past two years had become increasingly sporadic and unpredictable while on Seasonique.  I felt the birth control pills were no longer working against my hormones and I became increasingly uncomfortable taking estrogen at my age. I was told the Skyla would be a good option for me.  The actual procedure took less than two minutes. The first object placed was a ruler to measure the inside of the uterus, this was the most painful and caused intense cramping 7/10 pain.  The ruler was removed and the IUD was quickly inserted.  The intense cramping subsubsided immediately and i had mild cramping for another 6-7 hours.  Overall a very good experience."


"I've been on the shot since January and today is my 1st time bleeding. I've been on and off of it for over 14 years and have never had bleeding while on. After getting off at times I've had constant abnormal bleeding until period regulated again."


"Minimal side effects.  Last resort after many years on other antidepressants that I couldn't tolerate the side effects with or just plain didn't work"


"Suffered with Fibromyalgia for several years. I was asked to try all the antidepressants, etc. Their side effects rendered me more useless, not able to function at all in daily life. I had taken Vicoprofen 1/2 tablet (half by choice) 3-4 x's day for several years and Lidoderm patch every morning on my cervical spine, hips and knee's. I had no desire to live. I was going through the motions. 3 weeks ago I started Savella. 1/4 the recommended dose for 10 days. Then 1/4 the next dose. 1st week I felt a difference. By week 2 my husband said he hadn't heard me mention pain. I cautiously said I'm in no pain and on no pain pills or patches and don't need to nap and can sleep. I'm very active and can do anything. Start VERY slow, with low doses. Now on 25mg once in the morning with a full breakfast! "


"First day, first dose. Bowel urgency greater than I ever could imagine. If I want to have the contents of my bowels liquefied, I can take magnesium citrate. I'm nauseous and I have a headache. I'll have to only take it on days when I am close to a private toilet."


"OxyContin has helped me so much to live my life.  I have no arms and only one leg from an IED when I was in Afghanistan.  I suffer from Phantom limb pain and numerous other problems, but I don't care, because had I not got in the way of the blast then a 2 year old and 3 year old would have died, so I'm fine with how I look.  OxyContin has made the pain bearable. "


"The first month was amazing. Then I had my first period..... That lasted for 30 days. I also gained 15 lbs in one month while on a diet, started getting extreme acne and have 0 sex drive. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. But I didn't get pregnant, so technically it works but side effects are not worth the "convenience""


"It works wonders for the heartburn, but I can't handle the side effects, I have awful diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain, headaches, nausea, stomach aches. It's not the normal side effects, but I haven't had any heartburn. I'm probably in that >1% that has bad side effects."


"I absolutely love Zoloft. It took my panic attacks away on 150mg. But I had 40 pound weight gain, sexual side effects, no orgasm, lack of interest, very tired all the time. I could sleep any time of day, I'm a 22 year old female just stopped it to try Viibryd."


"Had unprotected sex on the 31 of Dec 16 . Took aftera the next day around 4. Was so nervous that it wouldn't work because of all the reviews but after nervously waiting for 6  days my period came three weeks early . It wasn't heavy as usual but did have lots of cramping and got my period on the 6 and finished today it  works !!! Not 100% effective but it has a high chance the quicker you take it the better Works . And you save 10 dollars !"


"Began Humira with high hopes 3 months ago after stopping sulfasalazine. After 1st injection, it took only 5 days and got symptoms of flu. Flu developed into chronic sinutitis and come-go laryngitis. Next episode was super high blood pressure and frequent urination 24/7. Third one was more serious, white blood cell count began to rise. This is not normal (may lead to blood cancers or lymphomas) and Humira was stopped. Be careful, you are not going to die with AS, but serious side effect like cancer is a true alarm that drug might not be suitable for everyone."


"One of the best, makes your face feel soooo smooth!!!"


"I had a sore throat for two days, then woke up on the third day at 2 a.m. with a hacking cough that kept me up until 6 a.m. (I found and took a Mucinex DM & eventually got back to sleep for a few hours). Called my dr when I woke up, after coughing up some green stuff from my lungs, & after she called me back at 6 p.m.  she called in this medicine.  Day 1 you take 2, then 1 a day for 4 days.  The 2 I took on day 1 made me nauseated, but I was able to get to sleep 4 hours later thanks to the benzonatate she also prescribed. Today I felt better but still have sore throat and still coughing some.  The one tablet azithromycin tonight did not make me nauseated."


"I've had Nexplanon since mid-October. The procedure was easy, short, & the only bad part was the numbing. First week I had no side effects. The next few weeks I had off and on (on a day off two or so days on two days. Really random.) discharge/spotting. It wasn't too bad. I didn't have any spotting or periods up until the 4th of January. At first the discharge started back up then more period like symptoms started. It's now the Thursday after & I'm still bleeding.
My only real complaint is that I am much moodier. I've always been emotional, but since I got Nexplanon, when I get in a bad mood or something upsets me I'm upset for longer than I should be. It's not too bad though. No weight gained. I'd recommend."


"I have been on tresiba since June of 2015. After a couple weeks I adjusted fine to tresiba and love it. However in September of 2015 I began to develop stomach problems. At first I didn't think anything of it, however it has only become worse over time. I had a colonoscopy done in June of 2016. Dr found nothing wrong. Also had a MRI done later last summer in which I had to drink a dye. Once again found nothing wrong. June of this year I had a upper endoscopy and once again nothing was found. I feel like my stomach is going to explode. And I feel nauseous, however have never thrown up. Just wondering if anyone else has had these problems."


"I have had both bronchitis and pneumonia at least every other year for the past 20 or so years. Out of all of those illnesses I was given Levaquin twice and can not understand why it wasn't perscribed more. I didn't have any side effects at all. In fact, my recovery time with this medicine was marked in days and not weeks like the other perscriptions! One year I actually lost 3 weeks of work (could have actually used more time but I didn't have any time left). I'm actually battling bronchitis right now and when I asked why Levaquin wasn't prescribed since it has worked so well in the past, the doctor just looked at me and said he prefers the Amoxicillin. Fine for him....he's not stuck in bed coughing up lungs!"


"Although I love that I only need to change my patch once a week instead of taking a pill everyday, I HATE the patch.  I've been on it for 3 months and took my last patch off for good today.  I've gained more than 25 pounds!  I'm constantly hungry no matter what or how often I eat (I normally have great self control). Also I have had on going cramping through my entire cycle.  My periods are not any shorter, lighter, or less painful. My acne has gotten worse. I have sudden and fierce mood swings and am more emotional than I was when I was pregnant.  The only good thing I can say about it is I haven't gotten pregnant, and even then, I haven't had sex since starting it, so that doesn't even count in my book.  Hate it."


"Amazing results if taken early on in onset. Can't believe it! No headache!"


"My daughter was 15 at the time and was given Oratane. Certainly it worked temporarily for the acne but as a result of this horrible drug she developed irritable bowel syndrome. It has been a year off it and things have NOT returned to normal. She was referred to the hospital and the specialist told us that recent research shows that this drug can cause perforation of the bowel."


"I was on this drug for a month. I am one of those people who hate being on medication (prefer natural alternatives)--but my doctor strongly recommended me to give it a shot. I felt different instantly. My body would feel "numb" I guess that's the best way to describe it. I was feeling very very down the first two weeks. My temper was short, I got angry at everything, and I was worse than I was before starting the medication. I had absolutely no sex drive at all. The medication was taking a toll on my marriage. Ever since I stopped it, I feel amazing. Sticking to yoga and meditation!! Glad it works for some people though!"


"Works well to control my pain. I have been on fentanyl for 8 years. Converting to this drug has many good results.

There are however many side effects but I hope to control some by tolerance until drug is completely in system"


"I lost my appetite and yet gained between 7 to 10 pounds a week until my psychiatrist took me off of it 5 weeks later, stuck with the weight. Not only did it not improve my mood, my image depressed me even more."


"Prozac absolutely changed my life. Not only did it get rid of my daily anxiety and is slowly but surely getting rid of my social anxiety, but it also made me generally a happier person. By far the best anxiety medicine I've tried."


"In England my mother took me to the doctor and being a nurse herself knew I had ADHD.  The doctors wanted to put me on Ritalin but my mother said no, I would grow out of it eventually. In the US my attention from high school through college became worse, and I got into a lot of trouble. My grades were horrible in high school through college, even work. I had to take classes two to three times over again. The only way I would remember daily things was to write it down.  Now at 41, I got help, and I am able to focus, complete tasks, remember without asking ten times, and sit still.  It's never too late for help.  Just wish I would of done this 35 years ago. My anger has subsided also with no side effects."


"Unbelievable...Started new years eve and have no cravings at all, highly recommended......But you really have to want to stop smoking..."


"Morphine is typically administered in a hospital setting through IV. They take this route because pain relief is essentially instant. The main difference w/these coated pills, while they are a higher milligram (60mg), I was given anywhere from 2 to 4mg through my IV. Some would say the upside through your IV, is the instant relief (in the ER, that's the point),but the duration of relief (some say),is shorter than that of the pills, which by design are rated to last 12 hrs. The info along w/the script says the coating is there because it's an extended-release tablet, hence the 12hr rating for pain relief. They make an immediate release pill but for home use most dr's will script these. Sometimes norco is added for immediate relief as needed."


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"Stops migraines immediately. No other medication will help. Seems that pharmacies did not have it in stock lately. What's going on?  I have taken this medication for 18 years."


"This drug made me extremely tired and then the heartburn started after three weeks and I could not take any longer.  Zero pounds lost in three weeks."


"After having 20 grs of Octagam I felt a little dizzy and a minor headache."


"Seem that I struggle without medication  but I am worse of with suicidal thoughts and attempt. No nausea. Currently taking 40 mg in morning have been for about 4 weeks. I go back to Dr in two weeks where she suggested maybe going to increase dose. I think I just need to try something else. Right now that's the only psych med I'm on."


"I have suffered from chronic back pain and spasms for about 20 years. I've been prescribed a large variety of different medication and by far, somas are the only relaxer I've been prescribed that really really works. My Dr doesn't like to prescribe them however,  he knows that I don't abuse any medication.   I only take something when really necessary.  I  get muscle spasms in my rib area that makes it very difficult to breathe or move. I also have them in my lower back.  I also have a herniated disc, a protruding disk, a bulging disc,  and degenerative disc disease. I always break it in half, and normally that's enough to calm the spasms in about 10 to 15 minutes. It helps a great deal with pain and the only one that doesn't knock me out."


"Worst medication EVER.  I couldn't form simple thoughts together.  Couldn't complete tasks.   Migraines got worse.  That was at 100/mg.   200mg was twice as bad.

Neuro told me I could quit taking it cold turkey.   He's a flipping moron.   I sunk into a deep depression with high anxiety after tapering dose down.   This medication needs to be banned."


"I have chronic urinary tract infections. Every time I know one is coming on, I go to my doctor and this is what is prescribed. This last urinary tract infection I couldn't get treated because I have no insurance and didn't have the money for the office visit. so I tried to wait it out or flush it with water. It eventually turned to a Kidney Infection and I was put on this medication. It does the trick within a day every time."


"I just started when the day I got my period and I've been bleeding nonstop for ten days. I've felt very sad and depressed and extremely moody. I also feel nauseous and very lethargic."


"I love what Lamictal has done for me. It's a mood stabilizer that should be prescribed secondarily alongside with another medicine for bi-polar disorder. Mine is the anti-psychotic Geodon, which I slowly came off of over 6 months wanting to get pregnant, but unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital in a severe manic episode with following depression as usual even though I stayed on the Lamictal. I have taken Lamictal for 7 yrs and its wonderful to not have depressive episodes and mood swings. I take an awesome combination with the Geodon and I Highly recommend it to Bi-Polar 1 sufferers."


"I started with Vicodin around 2000. From there I went to Norco, morphine, oxy, dilaudid, you get the picture. For 10 yrs I got by, I don't know how but I did. I was the type of person that would have 30 morphines and instead of taking maybe 5 or 10 a day I would take all 30 almost at one time. Not even thinking about the next day. Well I started Suboxone 10-21-2008. I stopped taking it on the 5th of this month I probably took a 1/4 once a day for a little over 3 weeks.I felt just a little crummy for 2 or 3 days but nothing compared to morphine or oxy withdrawal that's for sure. I haven't thought about the Suboxone at all. I feel so much better no more Suboxone even though it saved me."


"Amazing for acne , scars, dark spots. I like the gel"


"Worked ok for acne. However had nausea and headaches and had to stop taking."


"This pill saved my life! I am 18 and had sex with my boyfriend on Oct. 1 It was his first time and he didn't know that he needed to pull out. (Crazy right) not to mention I'm not on birth control. It was 8 days exactly after ovulation for me. Freaking out I went to sleep and woke up the next morning to get the pill. I took it and only had a couple of side affects. I was VERY tired after taking the pill. After that I had slight back pain for a while and short cramps. My period was due to start on the 7th of October. I slightly spotted the day before but now it is October 7th and I have a full blown period!! Thanks to this pill I won't be a mom at 18 and I won't have my  boyfriend having a kid,Thanks B!!"


"I would not recommend this birth control. I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression disorder 5 years ago and did not know where it came from. I couldn't leave my bed for weeks and couldn't eat sleep and never stopped having panic attacks. Because I was depressed and went off my birth control and month later I started to feel okay. I have not had a panic attack since that time. I was put on Lo Lo Estrin and was fine for years. My new insurance did not cover Lo Lo and my doc put me on Junel 1/20 since its a low dose generic. 8 days after starting to take the pill I couldn't stop having panic attacks every few min and couldn't stop crying for weeks and the panic is unbearable. Looked at my personal med files and I was on Junel before and it was the one that  had caused my problems. Do your research."


"My first day on it so far and it's making me feel like I have the flu / very sleepy. But other than that, it really took away the mood swings and other issues associated with bipolar disorder (I'm Bipolar-I). The pros definitely outweigh the cons. For the first time in a year I can finally sit down and read something, I don't feel paranoid and I genuinely feel normal."


"Gave me really bad headaches, nausea and all over body rash."


"My psychiatrist placed me on this and lowered my dose of Effexor in hopes of helping me with Major Depression. I was ok on the 5mg tablets, but after 2 days on the 10mg I was agitated, irritable and suicidal. I ended up checking myself into the inpatient mental unit of my local hospital. Please note I am pretty sensitive to anti-depressant medications so that doesn't mean it's a bad med; it just didn't work for me."


"A true miracle!  I'm 36 and have been living with pain for years - along with panic attacks and chronic anxiety.  Was given various prescriptions and decided I did not want to live dependent on pills - the side effects were just too much.  Yesterday my doctor encouraged me to try Lyrica.  With hesitation I took the first pill last night and woke up feeling like I did 10 years ago!  I'm still shocked. I haven't noticed any side effects, but this is definitely worth every penny!"


"While on Topamax, I lost my ability to think straight. I couldn't process things the same way. I couldn't even finish my sentences. I would start talking and would forget the words that came next. My friends and family would have to help me finish my sentences. After getting off the medicine, I could finally finish my thoughts again. However, I feel like I still cannot learn as easily as I did before I got on the medicine. I think it changed my brain processing capability. I have talked to a friend who had the exact same problem on this medicine. I would not recommend it unless you actually cannot live without it."


"I'm 19 years old, and I've been taking Yaz for about 2 years or so. At first, it helped clear my acne but made my PMDD worse, but eventually my moods evened out into a constant apathy, and my acne began to come back (possibly because of stress). I've lost weight and noticed an increase in breast size, but my sex drive has completely died out within the past year or so. I feel stressed when I don't take the pill on time or whenever I stop taking it for the four days allotted for my period (during which my period doesn't arrive until at least the third day and last a couple days into the new month of pills). But my period is light and relatively pain-free."


"I thought this drug very effective bringing down my blood pressure from an average 146 over 89 to 120 over 70.  After three days I began to get more and more nauseous until I called the Doctor on the ninth day.  He said we would change to another prescription."


"I am a mum of two. Been depressed in past but felt fine after birth to first baby and the following three years. Developed depression, anxiety, mania after second baby, almost immediately. I am now in hospital (mother and baby unit) with 9 week old daughter. I'm on Effexor XR 375mg and experimentally with Seroquel (too sedating), Abilify (not effective) and now lithium. Effexor is causing mania like symptoms and I have been taking it for 4 weeks. The introduction of another medicine will hopefully counteract this. Overall though Effexor has definitely reduced my lows from a 1/10 to never dipping below 5/10. Fingers crossed I can get out of here and back to normal, soon."


"I have extremely high Triglyceride, and very high cholesterol. LDL could not be calculated due to very high Trig levels, HDL very low.  After I had been on Livalo, a medicine for high Trig, it brought my Trig level down so that LDL was calculated 199, Cholesterol 365, still low HDL.  I have tried several brands of statins that made me very sick.  Since I was prescribed Livalo, I am happy to report that I don't have the side effects the other statins caused.  I am hopeful for my next lab draw, after hearing about the positive reports you have posted on this site.  "


"Was on Arimidex for one year but was changed to Letrozole because I couldn't walk due to burning sensation. Side effects after treatment have been: bone weakening, fatigue, insomnia, night sweats, weight gain (40 Lb) dry hair, feel older than 71, redness in my face, high blood pressure, neuropathy, burping, stiffness after sitting, memory loss, joint pain...but I am happy to be alive. I try not to complain because I want my husband to be happy."


"There are SO many bad reviews of this BC (I know, I read them lol) that I just had to share my experience with it. For background, I am 26 and have been on birth control since I was 14 because I had problems ovarian cysts. I was on Nuvaring for 4 years (& LOVED it) until I got married (They say you can't feel it, but I did & it hurt) Anyways, I did my research decided on Nexplanon because it was less invasive. I've had it for 6 months now & I had a short period the month after insertion and absolutely NO bleeding since! I love it! Remember everyone has DIFFERENT experiences with this just like any other medicine. If you want an effective long term bc that you don't have to worry about, give it a chance!"


"Works well but had site reaction with each patch. Itching, swelling and redness. Tried using Benadryl spray 1st, let dry then applied patch.  Patch then would not stick properly."


"although OK when I first stated to take this 30mg caps, then increased to 60 mg daily...after some years , I am showing more signs of tiredness, confusion, anxiety, hot flushes, and  forgetfulness and general mental decline, and still get depressed, among  symptoms....am truly concerned about this, as is my Husband and children (as I am not yet 65 yrs old)...and have always been in good health. I do not smoke, do drugs, and very  seldom drink alcohol...."


"3 hours after my first dose of Augmentin 875 I started vomiting in addition to diarrhea. I thought I had a stomach flu. I waited 5-6 days to restart the antibiotic. Well 3 hours after that dose guess where I was, in the bathroom vomiting again for several hours! I will NEVER take this medicine again!!! I've had Augmentin before but only experienced nausea. Not anymore! :("


"I got my iud put in in August and I literally have not stopped bleeding since. My doctor told me I could bleed for up to 6 months (it’s been 3) but I didn’t think that it would be CONSTANT. The first 2 weeks were  awful. Given, I don’t have the highest pain tolerance, but I was truly in a lot of pain for about a month after. Getting the IUD put in was so painful for me. The actual process only took about 10 minutes, but I sat in the room being fanned by a poor nurse and her giving me juice so I didn’t pass out for an hour. Hopefully, after 6 months all will be normal and that the pain will be worth it."


"Gabapentin actually causes restless leg syndrome for me. Have had 2 L45 surgeries and have taken gabapentin for pain with little relief and side effect of restless legs."


"This made my skin incredibly sensitive and irritated all the time, it dried out my cheeks and nose, it didn't get rid of hardly any acne. I have to stop using after only about 2 months of use due to the sensitivity."


"I am currently 3 weeks into Latuda 20mg in combination with 75mg of Zoloft. I have MDD and BPD. My constant mood swings and irrational behavior was too much to keep up with.
I found side effect wise it made me very sleepy and groggy. I went from taking it with breakfast (you must take it with at least 350cal) to taking it with dinner and that solved that problem. Sometimes it leaves a metallic taste in my mouth too. If you eat a probiotic yogurt that will combat that sensation. I don't have it as much as when I first started taking it.
I have not gained nor lost weight but remained stagnant. I feel like I have been more like a road with a few bumps here and there in comparison to a road with a million pot holes."


"Again I've been diagnosed with BV but I'm not surprised. Guess my new partner's chemistry didn't agree with my vagina. Anyways I knew off the bat it was BV. Noticed the systems but was a little tricky. This time there was itching thought it was both yeast and BV. Nurse practitioner confirmed it was only BV. So I'm on a 2x for 7 days cycle with metronidazole. First 24hrs the bad scent minimized and slightly tired. But as usual the systems start to worsen. Headaches, aches and pains, moody, confused and emotional not to mention that nasty yeast creeping in. So not looking forward to that on my 4 - 5th day. With that I use the 3 day pack of monistat or canesten either one works for me. The other symptom would be my worst the emotional impact."


"I've tried almost everything else and now that my doctor has prescribed Percocet I can be a mom again...with no pain."


"Received a seven day prescription for Bactrim and on the 5th day lost appetite, had terrible body aches, and extreme fatigue. On the 6th day, had a fever, and chills too. Stopped the treatment on the 7th day.  Then on the evening of the 8th day developed a rash all over my upper body and face.  Pharmacist recommend Benadryl which helped somewhat.  Having a urinalysis in a week and surely hope it worked and cleared up my urinary tract infection. "


"My son was diagnosed ADHD in 4th grade, he's now in 7th. Since that time we've tried many medications. We finally settled on Metadate, and it worked great, but we kept having to up the dosage, until he's now on 60mg. The doctor recommended adding Intuniv to the Metadate. He was cranky and irritable the first week, but now at week 3 and 2mg dosage, the crankiness seems to be getting better. What I have seen with Intuniv is that he's very difficult to get up in the mornings. But on a good note, if I miss the Metadate medication, his behavior is still pretty good. He's not bouncing all over the house. When he's on both the medications, he's doing really good. I do have hopes to eventually get him off the stimulant all together."


"Ranexa has definitely helped with my angina, but I am pretty certain it has contributed to an appx 20 pound weight gain as well. I am not sure if getting off the medication would help me lose the weight, but I dont want the angina back either, so I am not sure what to say. Its very effective for the angina but it can have some unwanted side-effects."


"Seemed to do well with everything except the heat flashes and libido which are 2 major things."


"I have the black cherry version because it is not as bitter.  This medicine is quite expensive however works well for me.  My paranoid thoughts still come to me a few times a week but I am not delusional at all.  My mood is stable and I feel very 'normal'. Great Medicine!"


"I inserted the medicine before bed and can't sleep.  The pain is making me unable to rest. It also itches so bad it hurts. My vagina feels wounded :'("


"NovolinN works for me and is cheaper than Lantus. No adverse reactions and identical results. "


"I love Tysabri! Having been on it a year and a half it's a lot better than Avonex. No more flu-like symptoms! I just hate having to sit for an extra hour or so to be monitored. I recommend this when all else fails."


"Honestly I know experiences often depend on the woman but I had nothing but problems. I bled every single day for 4 months before I finally stopped taking it. It was awful. I am a healthy young woman with a regular period. My doctor said the bleeding was normal. But 4 months straight? I don't think so. That being said the up side was I didn't have worsening acne, weight gain, headaches, etc."


"I'm 15 years old. I'm a sophomore in high school. I started taking the Depo-Provera shot around my freshman year. It actually hasn't given me any bad side effects beside loss of hair, I haven't lost a lot a hair, and mood swings. My freshman year I weighed 155 and now I weigh 119. I'm 5'3 and haven't gained a pound from this shot yet. I hate shots but it's definitely worth taking for having no period. I haven't experienced depression or any of the other side effects except the ones listed above. But not everyone is the same. I would recommend talking to your doctor about it before jumping into taking it!"


"Suffering from chronic migraine  vertigo or silent migraine so poorly was getting 3/5 attacks per day loss of balance vertigo dizziness spaced out  visual disturbances. Saw my opticans several.times.as it felt.like my eyes were strange always feeling off balance.ended in a/e saw my neurologist  who confirmed it was migraine vertigo and out  me on 300mg at night time.and gradually.increased.this dosage to 1800mg  (600 mg 3 times a day felt.dizzy spaces out confused lasted 5 months and neurologist  advised me to wean off the drug the gabapentin did help at my well beginning  it never went away my gp.has prescribed propropanol not started yet , side effects effect of gabapentin dizzy off bal.pain in head tired do confused memory avoid"


"I've had the Nexplanon since April of 2016 for birth control. I haven't gotten any periods (which is awesome) although as of lately, I have been spotting a little bit. HOWEVER, my biggest complaint is that it DOES make you gain weight. While on the pills, I never had a weight issue, then I made the mistake of switching to the Depo-Provera shot (got it only once) then the implant (12 weeks or so after the implant) and that's when I blew up (25lbs or so). It is all about control because it does increase your appetite, but I'm looking forward to getting this sucker removed and returning the good ol' pills. While it does in fact, prevent pregnancy, I think I'll take my chances with the pills."


"I have had Severe Refractory Full Body RLS for 10  years. My symptoms are 24/7 without medication. I was prescribed Requip and it was the one of the worst nights of my life! I was terribly nauseous and vomited all night. But even worse than that was the fact that it made my RLS much worse. I had the same results with Mirapex. My doctor tried me on several other meds. None of them worked and some made the RLS worse like the Requip and Mirapex did.
I ended up hurting my shoulder pretty badly and my doctor prescribed Tramadol. Low and behold once it got into my system the RLS was gone! I've been taking the Tramadol every 6 hours for 9 years now and am still symptom free and doing great!"


"I LOVE LEXAPRO. I had really bad anxiety before Lexapro and now I feel much calmer and more in control of my life.  I only take 5mgs because my body is super sensitive but I can definitely feel and see a change.  Sometimes I still suffer from anxiety during PMS but during the rest of the month I'm so happy and life is so much easier to deal with.  Lexapro was a life saver for me."


"I wanted to write a review to share a really positive experience with Skyla. A lot of people are writing about extreme cases and obviously everyone is different, but I just had my Skyla inserted yesterday and the process was a breeze. Much less pain than anticipated. I took 800 mg of IB profin 2 hours before insertion then another 200 mg of IB profin 30 minutes before hand and I hardly felt pain during it. For the rest of the day I certainly had cramps and some bleeding but wasn't as bad as everyone said. Today upon waking up I have no cramps and am so far very happy with my decision. Do not let the idea of pain scare you away, it will be okay!"


"I have only been taking Fanapt for a couple of months now and am happy to say it really works well and has less side effects then my previous medicines."


"Diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety, found symptoms lessened with Wellbutrin XR. Year later diagnosed with adult ADHD, all ADD with little HD. Started Strattera and felt a slight improvement in focus, but also felt distant and flat. Stopped Strattera due to severe constipation. Tried Adderall, little effect on focus and concentration, and turned into a Chatty Cathy. I did sleep better than ever though. Next, Ritalin with close to the same effects, but without the great sleep. Back to Strattera to give it another shot, constipation lessened, but still feel that it is not helping with the ADD. Considered adding Adderall or Ritalin in with, but Doctor now recommending psych evaluation to look deeper. Scary, but necessary."


"I started qsymia Dec 31 2015 with my two week trial then went to 7.5 dose for 2 months. Last week I stopped taking it.   I weighed in at 186 in December and as of right now, march 2015 I'm at 161. I feel it's extremely important that you learn how to eat the right way while taking this, because when you stop taking it, you will gain the weight back if you don't continue to watch what u eat. I have about 13 lbs to go to be at my goal which I probably could have stayed on qsymia for another month but the tiredness I got while taking this was a big deciding factor for me.   The only side effects i got were the dry mouth, occasional tingling in my fingers and the tiredness, no energy feeling. Diet pop was awful tasting too,but did curb my appetite."


"After spinal cord injury and fractured vertebrae (T10) in 05', I had rods inserted to hold spine together and repair spinal cord. After long stay in hospital and rehab facility in Adelaide, Australia I was prescribed Oxynorm and MS Contin for the pain. But as this did not relieve the nerve pain in my legs (okay for back) I was put on to Neurontin 300mg. I've since had to increase my dosage to 1200mg x 3 times per day. I've found Neurontin amazing for the nerve pain. I've had a few side effects (minor). I'm still taking the opiates still but hopefully will be able to ween off them in the not to distant future and see if just the Neurontin will be able handle all of the pain."


"This is the third birth control I've taken. I have been on Lo Loestrin for about 3 years then switched to Minastrin for a year then stopped. After a year off of bc I decided to go back on and was prescribed Junel Fe. I to had night sweats, spotting, migranes, lost feeling in limbs, and nausea in the morning. On top of really bad breast tenderness, depression, and my entire body was bloated. I would not advise to take."


"What a life saver! And I mean that in the very literal sense.
I've now been taking 20mg of Prozac for about 18 days. The fist week was hell. I couldn't sleep, I felt more depressed, anxious and panicky than before. Nauseous and disorientated. But stuck with it. Only now that I'm starting to feel better, do I start to realize how incredibly unwell and out of control I've been for so long. I'm now starting to feel like I have my brain back and am in possession of rational thoughts again!"
