Secondary Cutaneous Bacterial Infections

"I've used this on my 2year olds rash and saw noticeable results within 1 day. He would pick his face in his sleep and I couldn't clear it with anything until the doctor prescribed this. I keep it in my diaper bag all the time now. It also works amazingly for diaper rash and any small cut, scrape, or infection. No side affects on my son, daughter, or myself"


"The worst of 32 tried over the past 41 years."


"I have been using Talacen off and on for a year. Used for arthritis pain in lower back, neck and joints. Only use when in severe pain. I do not notice any of the side effects.  Works well for me."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I feel that 200 mg is probably best for me but makes me overly "chatty" and nonproductive in that manner, and my heart races.  100 mg does help me feel more awake in the morning but wears off very quickly. I still need a nap when I get home from work."


"This medication has changed my life. I was in so much pain day and night that I had trouble sleeping. I didn't go places because my pain was so bad. Now I can sleep at night and most important to me is that I can play with my grandchildren again"


"Good when combined with tramadol, not too sedating."


"i would experience urinary tract infections multiple times a year due to sexual intercourse. I would always make sure that my partner and I would both wash off before sexual intercourse to cut down on the spreading of bacteria which helped but I still suffered from frequent utis. My doctor then prescribed macrobid. I have had no negative side effects with or without food and I have had ZERO urinary tract infections for the past 9 months. This medicine has really increased my quality of life including my sex life. Definitely recommend!"


"I was diagnosed with IBS-C about a year and a half ago. No laxatives were working at all. I was first prescribed with linzess 145, that did nothing for me. Then my doc upped the dosage to 290. That helped a little more. Then he added Amatiza. I now have to take 2 Amatiza and a 290 for anything to happen for me. The bloating is insane and the water retention is unreal. Living my life constantly sick is no fun!"


"I didn't rate the Mirena higher just because I haven't had it that long yet.  I read SO MANY horror stories about the pain and what not before I had mine inserted.  It totally freaked me out!  Well, I am 25 years old, have never had a kid, and IT WAS NOT THAT BAD.  My doctor was talking me through everything while she was putting it in.  All I felt was a little pinch followed by what felt like a pretty moderate menstrual cramp.  I simply concentrated on my breathing, and I was fine.  I got a little flushed, and I was a tad bit lightheaded, but it was nothing.  So far, so good.  I've had a little cramping off and on and some spotting, but that's it.  Best of luck if you decide to get it."


"I have suffered from chronic migraines for years and have taken just about every preventative and rescue med on the market.  I recently received the Botox injections and didn't realize there would be 31 one of them.  I have to tell you, the shots were absolutely not a big deal.  It was over in about 5 mins or less.  In all honesty, I don't know if I would have gone if I had known there would be 31, but again I am very glad that I did.  It's only been 5 days, but I do not have any side effects listed by others and while it would be great to get rid of the migraines all together, if they would only lessen in frequency and intensity, I would be equally pleased."


"I started taking 10mg of escitalopram in the eleventh grade and it helped me to get through daily tasks with minimal anxiousness. My first year of college was very stressful and I noticed my anxiety worsening- my Dr. gradually upped my pills to 30mg/day. At first I noticed a huge improvement and felt like myself again. About three weeks into a steady 30mg/day I began feeling nauseous and evidently began vomiting 2-3 times a day, in addition to the vomiting my appetite was gone and I was also fainting frequently.
I would highly recommend this anxiety med, although it is not for everyone, if you are able to find the right dosage for your body it is extremely helpful."


"I switched to Trinessa 28's last week of April and I am very content! After the birth of my child in December I tried the shot and it was the worst ever...I lost tons of hair and constantly bled almost the whole 3 months, mood swings, and the list goes on...Well first week of Trinessa I did get some headaches and a bit of nausea but nothing I couldn't tolerate. I do take them at night before bed, which in my opinion is the best time! Within the first month my mood swings were gone, noticed hair growth and reduction in hair loss, first period was only 4 days and not too heavy but maybe 2nd day only. For me Trinessa is wonderful and has worked wonders! And also no copay covered at 100% with my insurance!"


"Like the other reviews, I have always suffered from UTIs with exactly the same problem, I will get one, antibiotics will clear it up and then it will return shortly thereafter. I have had strains resistant to antibiotics, been placed on multiple antibiotics, etc. All to no avail in actually ridding me of UTI symptoms. I have spent any amount of money on different medications.  When I have UTIs, they drive me insane and I feel absolutely drained.  I brought Hiprex as we were on holidays over Easter and I couldn't get to a GP. The chemist recommended it. I have not looked back, the terrible urge to constantly urinate completely disappeared within 2 days. Hiprex has given me my life back."


"Started this pill and took it at night right before bed, woke up every morning with terrible morning sickness, dizziness, and awful headaches."


"I was admitted to hospital in march 2011, my viral load was 1,730,000.00 (yep million) and CD4 count 30. I also had cryptococcal and was in a bad state. My Doctor prescribed Atripla after cryptococcal was bought under control, within 2 months, dropping my viral load to 300 and upping my CD4 to 135, I was feeling better than ever, with more energy."


"It's my third day taking this medicine I started spotting but it quickly stopped I really don't understand how this is suppose to work but I hope it does."


"I been suffering from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder for a few years now and have tried everything under the sun, but with the Effexor I am feeling great. It does have some side effects though, but lasted for a few days, but now gone. They include the following: Jitters, drowsiness, and a touch of nausea.  Although with the sadness and anxiety under control I now realize all the physical symptoms of PMDD. I rather have the physical symptoms over the emotions any day."


"I've been taking it for 7 years and it turned my life around. I am severely dyslexic and have ADD and am on 30mg to 40mg a day. However, as of recent it has started making me slightly disorientated and even slightly sleepy, and my thoughts come faster than I speak (used to happen before I started taking Ritalin with my dyslexia) but it feels worse. I just started interning at an Ad company so not the best of times! "


"Imitrex is the best medication for migraines I have taken so far. When I first started using it I would get the loopy feeling and slight dizziness. Normal right? But after a month or two and a few more uses of this medication, I started get a burning sensation in my head, behind my eyes and progressively got worse with each time I took it. The side effects have gotten so bad that now I get cold/hot sweats, the burning sensation in my head, and vomiting. I have now switched to a medication that is the prescription strength of Motrin which works just as well."


"At first this medicine worked, but then I began experiencing severe migraines and so my doctor modified the pills to best suit me. Which worked out better for about 2 months, now I've back to having severe cramps,migraines,heavy bleeding,depression,and anxiety. I wouldn't recommend this medication."


"I was given vistairl for pain soon after a neck fusion.  The surgeon refused to believe that I was in such severe pain after he "fixed" me.  Within hours of taking the medication I was in a deep fog.  I could not concentrate or think clearly.  This medicine also made my legs ache and I could not sleep until this medication was out of my system."


"This was the first bc I have used, for my crazy abnormal periods and as a birth control. The first month was crazy, headache, fetigue, nausea, extreme cramps, but I decided to stick with it and eventually that went away. My period started on a Tuesday and ended on a Saturday and were way lighter, and I hadn't experienced normal period symptoms besides bloating. The second month I had crazy mood swings, followed by the month after that. Periods still came on Tuesday-Saturday, but I started noticing on my new packs, I had headaches, fetigue, nausea, etc.. My fourth and fifth month, I have had my period for two weeks. It would start on my 3rd week pill Tuesday, all the way until I had to start my new pack. I am shortly switching."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste of this prep is absolutly terrible.  There is no way to hide it or disguse it.  THe ONLY helpful approach I found was chasing it with apple juice.  Not sure how I did it.  I am sick after drinking it.  And , to think THIS is the easiest prep on the market!!"


"Had implanon in for 4-5 months, my first hormone contraceptive. Bled consistently, became bloated overall, veins thicker, more visible, put on clotting medication for 1 month to help bleeding, ended up with a haemorrhoid the size of a golf ball. Worst part was the psychiatric illness that evolved/worsened from time of insertion. Developed/diagnosed severe OCD, severe physical generalised anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. Had it taken out and was on nothing for 3 weeks to "clean" my system. Not long enough. Mental issues did not go away. 2 antidepressants that didn't work, valium, antipsychotics, hypnotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, recent trip to the hospital for suicide prevention and I am still suffering now 5 months later"


"This is the worst
Previously I've used the pill (multiple forms) since I became sexually active and while I didn't love having to take it every day, the side effects were minimal.
After having my first child, I had my Nexplanon inserted, thinking it sounded like a great, long term solution to contraception. I knew at first there would be side effects, and they did clear up within a few months. However, the longer I had it in, the worse things got. It's been nearly 2 years now and I have major depression, almost constant bleeding and mood swings I'd almost describe as mania. I experience acne which I've never had to deal with before, my smell 'down there' has changed (no infection or anything) and my sex drive is ZERO. I'm getting it taken out!"


"I am 18 years old and have had Nexplanon in for 6 months now. It is great! I always forgot to take my pill and had my hormones all over the place. When I talked to my doctor at Plan Parenthood they told me about this. My insurance at plan parenthood covered it. It only hurt for a week. This is the only birth control I use. It's great. I do now get thick periods. As if it was my discharge and period mixing. Never has happened. Has it for anyone else? Only last about a week then I don't bleed. I recommend this to any young girl who can't remeber to always take that damn pill(:"


"I had tried numerous blood pressure medications. Almost all affected my sexual performance negatively, and I also experienced headaches in the morning ALL EXCEPT THIS MEDICATION! This was without a doubt the best I had used to date. Please comment if you have tried, I would like to hear from others who have. "


"#1 it gave me acne. #2 I GAINED so much weight in such a short period of time #3 it made me beyond emotional, I hated everyone/everything, I wouldn't smile & I was on the verge of thinking I am bi polar at times.  If your doctor EVER! prescribes this to you.... RUN! Long story short.. I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE."


"All started when I was about 18 years young. All typical symptoms - racing thoughts, palpitations, high blood pressure, dizzines, fear, choking feeling, chest tightness, fear of death and many other unbearable things which happens when anxiety becomes uncontrollable! Over the years I have had my good days and my bad days. Sometimes to a point where I don't want to live anymore, but then comes good days and to live is the thing I want the most. For those dark moments when close to panic xanax has really helped me! It gets me a bit calmer straight away, and then I can start breathing excercise and other little things which help to calm down. Without xanax I honestly wouldn't know what to do!"


"Have been on Zoloft for about three years - low dose couple of times per week and really feel it has helped with stress, anxiety, the "what ifs" etc. Makes me more able to tolerate intolerable people and not over react to them. Also helps out with social anxiety and over thinking and analyzing every little thing I may or may not do. No side effects that I have noticed.

If you think you are irritable or others around you tell you that you may need something follow their unwanted advice and try something it could be life changing."


"After getting off of Ortho-tricylen Lo I switched over to several other generic brands of which my gyno recommended.. all of which had crazy side effects (break through spotting/bleeding, acne, rashes on my face, crazy mood swings). Aviane is the first one that I've had no problems with so far... clear skin, no mood swings. Only minor issue is the small weight gain due to my increase in appetite.. other than that no complaints whatsoever!"


"I am 17 years old, I don't have acne I just have the teenage pimples. But theses pimples control my life and make me depressed. I have taken one tablet and my face is clear, one pimple on my face. So happy."


"I was inpatient in the hospital for a 5 day migraine. I was given Reglan and benadryl thru IV several times over a 4 day hospital stay and it helped the migraines in mins. I want you to understand how miserable I was. I had to have the curtains always drawn, couldn't watch TV or listen to music, and the room always felt like it was spinning. l noticed that when they administer the benadryl, it burns when given thru IV. I had competent nurses who administered it slowly to prevent intense burning. I also noticed after both were administered, I felt like I needed to move around, so my fingers and legs twitched a little, but not too much. It helped more than anything, and I'm really happy it was there as an option."


"I got the skyla in April of 2015, it was extremely painful experience and really uncomfortable. I've always had really bad cramps so the doctor suggested this because it can lessen cramps and I didn't have to remember to take something everyday. I am about 6 months in and I've had extreme cramping every time for two weeks. They come on in attacks. The bleeding is a lot lighter and it's pretty effective. But it's almost not worth the pain."


"I have hyperthyroidism and have suffered with anxiety for over 20 years and Valium is the best medication I've had by far because it does it's job very well. I've been on Doxepin and Celexa and they were hopeless compared to Valium. I take 5mg at night and I get a decent sleep every night and sometimes 2.5mg in the day."


"Medication works by inducing a period. After taking this medicine I had to take clomid and I conceived on my 4th round of medication. It works. Be patient and good things will come. I am now trying again to conceive and yes I am taking provera again and I just started my 1st round of clomid."


"I have been on this birth control for just over a year now and I love it. It is the first pill I've ever tried and it works great for me. I had a little nausea when I first began taking them, but it went away after a month or so. The only negative thing I have noticed is sometimes at the beginning of a new pill pack, I lose my appetite for about a week. I have gained about 5 pounds in the past year. I have no complaints other than that though. I take my pill at the exact same time every day religiously and have never missed a pill, and I have not gotten pregnant. Also, I am able to determine exactly what days I am going to be on my period now which is so nice. It's been a great birth control for me!"


"this is second month with minoxidil 5%. i noticed hair shedding in the first month of use. however  i am now noticing hair growth on my head. unluckily hair are also growing on my cheeks which i will not mind"


"I had my implant put in last April. I had very light spotting for 2 weeks after it was put in. Now its February and I just started bleeding again. Nothing to serious. I love it. I have had no side affects what so ever. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day or trying to remember to go in and get a shot every 3 months. It was the best decision for me and I still agree with that decision even now."


"Too expensive for fixed income patients. Classified as a tier 3 drug."


"Hysterectomy at 26. I've been on HRT for 30 years and medications available have changed with time. This is the best I've tried so far."


"I started taking Wellbutrin SR about 2 weeks ago and I am already noticing a difference.  I had a lot of anger, frustration, stress, and small panic attacks with uncontrollable crying.  Now since I have been taking it, I am much calmer and I am able to determine what is worth worrying about and what is not.  I could not do that before.  The crying has stopped and I no longer feel stressed or angry.  The only side effect I have is a mild headache, a little insomnia, and extreme thirst.  Those I can deal with versus what I was dealing with.  I am definitely going to keep taking it."


"I started Zoloft 3 weeks ago for panic attacks but I am having a hard time with the side effects. I feel like it has made my anxiety even worse but I am going to continue taking it until I get over the initial starting side effects."


"this is my third night of using the monistat.  I can tell a difference already.  I had been itching so bad, I didn't think I could stand it anymore.  I decided to try the monistat and after the second application, I am finally starting to feel some relief.  thankyou."


"I have had severe Fibromyalgia for years.  Was so excited when they finally came out with Lyrica because it was "supposed" to help with the nerve pain involved.  When I first started the pain I was in was about a 9 out of 10 in intensity.  After a year of being on the Lyrica it might have gone to a 7 or 8 but it caused me to put on about 40 lbs, my skin changed, and caused a lot of other side effects.  I finally told my doctor it wasn't worth all the side effects if it wasn't going to help the pain."


"Received dose at 11am, by 10pm that night I had fever,chills, severe pain in back. I was extremely ill for 3 days, such a severe headache I couldn't open my eyes. A week later my hands suddenly swelled to the point I could not use them. Now nearly 3 months later I am in physical therapy to try to regain the strength in my legs. Other side effects were less severe, such as jaw pain for a few weeks. I would never ever take this medicine again."


"I hate this pill due to all the horrible side effects I experienced. I had unprotected sex with my husband when we got married on May 28th. My period happened the week prior to us having sex. I took the pill a few hours after we had sex. Everything was fine up until two weeks after I consumed the pill. I was feeling: sore tender breast that I couldn't even wear a bra since it hurt so much, horrible cramps, I was bloated like a cow I had to take organic teas to help me, horrible headaches, mood swings, dizziness and nausea. I had no period for the month of June and I started to worry. Today is July 11th and I JUST STARTED MY PERIOD! PRAISE THE LORD! Pill works, horrible side effects. 6 week late period."


"I have done the HCg injections and lost 40 lbs.  I did loose some muscle but I kept the weight off til I had significant stress and reverted to bad habits.  THat's my bad.  What people need to understand is that you need to follow the HCG plan by dr SImons.  No, you cannot eat hamburger, no you cannot have a glass of wine everyday, no you cannot eat watermelon - at least in phase 2, 3.  People fail at this diet because they refuse to adher or do not read about the original diet and follow it.  But it works when you do it right.  And I felt better on it than off it - it helped with my shoulder pain."


"I am on fire like I have poured acid up there. Same as everyone else crying and rolling in the bed. I had to wash this off and pray to fall asleep. This is in the garbage."


"Having taken this vile, awful-tasting garbage growing up to treat my asthma, I would say it's about as effective as a placebo. It did absolutely nothing for my asthmatic issues. If one can avoid taking this, all the better. "


"I have been taking Lialda for9 months now for my microscopic colitis and it is working! I take 3 pills a day with zero side effects. I only have flare ups if I eat something on my no-no list. My doctor told me I could come off the medication if I want to as it is the type that will cause remission but I am to afraid to go back to the pain of my colitis so I decided to remain taking it. The only problem with this medication is that it is very expensive."


"I am a 75 Years old male, 5 years at the Gym, fairly muscular.

I had a 330 ng/ml total testosterone and I decided to check with

the Urologist if I could use this medicine. After few test, he decided

to give me the patches that gave rash and not improvement at all.

The Doctor started me with the 1% gel - 2 pumps in the morning

and the next reading was 207 ng/ml. I went back to his office

and he told me, You need more medicine, and put me un Androgel

1.62 % - 4 pumps in the morning for about 3 month. At me surprice

the next reading was 440 ng/ml and 3 more month 754 ng/ml.

At some point, I ran out of the insurance coverage for this year

and I had to reduce to 2 pumps - 1.62 %. Then my testosterone

level fell to 220 ng/ml again."


"I have had Nexplanon for a couple of months and I have to say it has been very effective. I am young and my mom even though disappointed felt this was the best for me. I have been bleeding everyday besides a couple of days at the end of every month. I also do get some of the side effects like back aches but they are bearable. I have gained weight but I do recommend this to many young girls and women. My boyfriend and I had an incident and I am not pregnant."


"I've been using the DP for almost 2years. I was left with this choice due to being a migraine sufferer I could not take the pill & was hospitalized from the iud with swollen tubes & ovarian cysts & abscesses (surgery to remove burst ones) & a personal preference of not wanting the rod . Before using the DP my periods were pain free, very light & lasted maybe 3 days Max. I had done my research & read about breakthrough bleeding for up to a year & thought "better than being pregnant right", because in my mind I was imagining sporadic spotting. Not incessant bleeding of weird colours & clots accompanied with constant stabbing pain. Gyno says continue with jab, take this, do that but I've given up, I may be a rare case but I wouldn't recommend"


"Zyrtec works well in combating allergies as well as allergic rhinitis. The best I've found.I take at night about an hour before bedtime and sleep like a baby all night. Love it. First time in years I can say I feel great and not congested from allergies."


"I am on my 18th day and have noticed DRAMATIC results. I have gotten many compliments. My skin is very dry though and I do have very chapped lips but the redness of my skin has gone away and I barely breakout anymore. My acne was pretty severe. I had tried everything (antibiotics, creams, gels, chemical peels, facials, etc.) I was very nervous about getting on this but I love it and recommend it to everyone."


"I was working on water coolers, some of the liquid got my eyes. I went to Walmart and bought this product, and it worked great. it got rid of the itching and burning, I was lucky it save me a visit to the doctor."


"I had a colonoscopy a few days ago and propofol was used as the anesthesia.  The doctor said he was injecting it into my IV, and I felt a little burning sensation in my hand, and then I was awake and in the recovery room.  No drowsiness, no nausea - I drank some juice, got dressed, and went home, where I felt absolutely fine the rest of the day!"


"Have finished my first two week application and am about to start the second.  I'm a 44 yo fair skinned male who rarely wore sunscreen as a kid and had my share of sunburns.  Had a few Actinic Keratosis spots that kept coming back so doc put me on Zyclara for my forehead and cheeks. After reading the horror stories I was absolutely dreading it.  To my delight the side effects were not bad at all, and I just had 4-5 spots flare up that looked like acne.

I never post to things like this, but I hope some see this and know that not all people have the horrible effects of it.  I can certainly sympathize with the ones who do though."


"I've been on 40mg for almost 8 weeks now.  Was working great in the beginning, especially weeks 3-5, but for some reason the beneficial mood effects wore off and I don't feel any different now than before.  The only thing I can think of is around that same time I started seeing a shrink and he put me on Xanax XR 0.5mg 1-2 times per day.  Could the Xanax XR have killed off the positive effects I was having with the Viibryd?  Not sure yet. By the way, I had literally NO negative side effects from taking this medication.  I always take it in the morning, never at night.  Tried that once and it kept me up all night."


"I suffered from excessive sweating since I was about 12 years old. I'll never forget it. It was WINTER and I took off my coat and saw sweat under my arms through my sweater. This continued for YEARS. It was embarrassing. Being nervous definitely increased this issue. When I reached about 20 years old, I was using paper towels under my shirts, attached to my bras. Summer time was dreaded. I was miserable. I owned tons of black shirts. In the summer I'd walk one block and my armpits would be drenched. Now, to be perfectly honest, I am a beautiful woman. Mixed race, slim, nice hair, light eyes... But no matter what, the sweating made me want to hide. Indoors. All the time. Just sitting still made me sweat. It was horrible."


"Tried Contrave for 10 weeks; did not lose 1 lb. Was part of the Scale Down program. Daily weighing did nothing to motivate me. In fact, because I lost nothing, it simply reminded me every day it wasn't working"


"I was diagnosed about a year ago and put on Onglyza. It worked well, keeping my blood sugar at a normal level. About 6 months ago my Dr lowered my dose from 5 mg once a day to 2.5 mg per day. Still great blood sugars. About a month ago he stopped all meds and my sugar climbed up, so back on Onglyza 5 mg once a day.

Last week my sugar went to 300-400, even my fasting levels. So today I went in an was immediately given a shot of insulin, prescribed Tresiba and an oral med with Metformin in it.

Can't figure out why Onglyza stopped working for me. But it did. Very unhappy now."


"Was prescribed this by the VA after retiring from the military. Am new to it but it makes my life so much better! Have had HORRIBLE panic and anxiety attacks for years even before I knew what they were. Driving, meetings, interacting in groups, you name it. So far so good, it really helps!"


"Day one.  This is the first day in the past two years that I haven't over-eaten.  I had gastric bypass and lost lots of weight.  I thought i was fine.  Then I was attacked by a co-worker.  It set off massive depression and PTSD.  I moved from Hawaii to PA-and I cant eat that much, but slidder food-chips, bread, eggs, diet soda and coffee with cream.  I don;t like sweets.  But, I eat crap. This is the first day without Chips/mcdonalds/fries....I have no heart racing, No problem with anxiety, no jitters.  I was able to chose a nice low cal dinner, and no CHIPS...they are my weakness.  I am so happy to stop the binge."


"I started to notice a pattern that the day I would insert it, for the next 24 hrs following insertion, I was incredibly naeusous, but I dealt with it. The reason I ultimately got off of it was because after 7 months of severe anxiety, mood swings, and angry outburst with no explanation, I figured out that it could potentially be my Nuva Ring. I'm a 23 yr old, active student/teacher. I lost all motivation to get through the day or go to the gym. I constantly picked fights with loved ones, and I was so hard on myself and my personal appearance. I turned into someone I wasn't. Was going to therapy 2 times a week for 4 months, trying to figure out what triggered my anxiety. Got off of NR once I put 2 and 2 together. Finally back to my normal self."


"It worked great but made me really dizzy. Has anyone experienced this?"


"I was put on Phetermine to aid in my weight loss, I had tried everything, even used Herbalife strictly for one month and didn't lose any weight, I was concerned about hypothyroidism as thyroid problems run in my family, but at 26 it shouldn't be posing an issue and blood work came back normal, I chalked it up to a metabolic problem and consulted with my doctor. On the day of my visit my resting blood pressure was 149/93, I don't get nervous at the doctor because I'm a veterinary technician so I see needles and help treat animals all day so those things don't bother me. I am 5'2 and my weight at the doctor was 192lbs. My doctor wants me back in 1m to see how I'm doing, she requested I lose 5lbs by the time she sees me. So far I've lost 9lbs."


"Took it for depression, anxiety and insomnia. It has taken just under 2 months at 75mg daily to kick in properly, but when it did, I found it to be a God send! I've been taking it for 4 months now, and cannot remember last time I felt anxious, and my sleep is best its ever been.

Side effects are dissapearing slowly, and I feel very happy, and look forward to the future again. Highly recommend."


"I was first prescribed oxycodone 5 mg/2 tabs/twice daily, as required. Then put on the 25 mg/mgh fentanyl patches.  They were a God send.  The only problem I had was that every 50 hours (average) they would stop working.  I had to have someone from Mylan, send me a letter to show to my doctor in order to change to every 48 hours.
"


"Just started and it feels good so far will see tomorrow."


"Well, I have been on Humira for 15 months now. At first, it was my only maintenance med for what was a Crohn's Disease diagnosis. About 9 months in, I had a flare that spread to virtually every system in my body. Joints, bladder and kidney, skin, liver, blood, brain, you get the picture. The dr bumped my dose to once a week, added prednisone and methotrexate. I'm well on my way to better.

Humira injections do cause discomfort. I let mine warm up to room temperature and plan an ice pack for after the injection. Helps a whole lot."


"I had severe acne when I was a teenager and took oral retinoids (accutane)  for a year. Clear skin for a few years, and then the acne was back in a more mild version.

I am applying a pea sized amount of adaferin 0.1 for two months now and my skin went from mild acne-> very dry skin AND acne-> just dry skin-> normal skin with a few scars and occasional hormonal pimple.

I apply a pea sized amount of the cream in all of my face (my dermatologist said a lentil in each cheek), after I have removed make up and have washed it with a mild soap (NO scrubs). You have to wait to apply the cream after you wash your face (15 min). Wait a little bit more and apply moisturiser if needed.
DO NOT use locally just on one pimple. It works for preventing."


"Hello people. 3 years ago when I was in med school, I experienced a terrible anxiety problem. It was a mixture of both, generalised anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. I had issues attending classes, couldn't sleep at night with weeks of sleepless nights worrying and obsessing. And I decided to see a psychiatrist. He put me on 5mg lexapro and 2.5 mg diazepam daily taken at night. I was very compliant to treatment and saw a tremendous improvement in my mood with the OCD symptoms totally vanished in like 3 to 4 weeks. I was better able to handle my life and went on to complete medical school and managed to graduate as a doctor now. If it wasn't for lexapro, I don't think would have got this far in life."


"Cymbalta was a life saver; I started on 30 mg and quickly went to 60 mg. I felt relaxed, less anxiety. My dose was increased to 90 mg- I became psychotic, talking a mile a minute, the sweats, etc. I was placed back on the 60 mg."


"Due to Medicare requirements, I had to switch to Tikosyn when the Sotalol I'd been on for years wasn't working.  Cardiologist suggested an Ablation procedure but until I had tried the Tikosyn, Medicare wouldn't approve the Ablation.  The Tikosyn neither brought me out of the A-fib as they hoped nor has kept me out of A-fib.  So to get the requirements all done, I have been in A-fib for approximately 2 months - unable to do much more than sit in a recliner all day - and I still have to wait another 2 weeks to be able to get the Ablation done.  My ankles and feet have started swelling, so looking at another 3.5 hour trip to my cardiologist due to that side effect of the drug.  Unimpressed!"


"Had Skyla inserted on 9/17/15, the procedure was extremely quick, so was the insertion pain. The whole day after I had extreme cramping, but it slowly went away and did not continue into the next day. I spotted for about a month after, but the spotting stopped completely after my 2nd period with it. My first period with skyla was NOT a pleasant experience, it seemed as if my PMS symptoms were made worse by the skyla but thankfully my symptoms were back to normal by my 2nd period. The only concern I have with it now is every now and again I bleed pretty heavily the day after intercourse. I've highly recommended it to my friends as a form of contraceptive though because it's been extremely effective"


"I am a 42 year old male. Have been taking simvastatin 20mg for about 2 and a half months now. No side effects and I'm amazed at how my numbers have dropped. My wife is thrilled as well."


"DO NOT USE.  I noticed my symptoms during a holiday weekend, so I could not go to my doctor for a prescription of diflucan as I usually do.  I bought the Monistat...  This product made me feel worse after using it.  My poor vagina was burning and swollen after use.  I was sooo incredibly uncomfortable, that I could not sleep at all.  I woke up in the middle of the night and soaked in the bathtub with apple cider vinegar and water.

I researched natural home remedies and ended up making a suppository with coconut oil and tea tree oil.  It helped soothe my poor vagina from the horrible burning and discomfort cause by the Monistat.  I will never use Monistat again..  Ever... Never...  Nope... NEVER!!!

I wish I would have paid to go to urgent care instead of enduring this horrific experience.

Ladies, if you love or even remotely like your vagina, DO NOT use this product.  I would not recommend it to my worse enemy."


"I have smoked since I was 12 yrs old. Started smoking daily at age 15. I am now 51. Quit a few times for 3 or 4 months but always went back to it. On day 2 with Zyban and still smoking but looking forward to finally quitting. First day I took one in morning. Felt a bit funny but also was getting pains in chest n arm. Not sure if this was just a panic attack or what but going to keep going. If it gets worse I will have to stop taking zyban. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was nothing more than a panic attack."


"I have been taking Mirapex for 7 or 8 yrs, I am now up to 0.50 to 0.75 it has worked well for me, except I have gained a lot of weight, and now I am having augmentation, meaning my legs start jerking earlier in the day and my arms are starting to have it. I can't increase it much more, too much fatigue, I am concerned about what I am going to take now. I've tried other things that don't work so beware of dopamine agonists after so many years you become immune to it unfortunately.  I could not afford it if I had not qualified for patient assistance program, I don't have insurance."


"Lyrica put me into a more restful sleep. Waking up at  5:30am for work is very difficult on this medication and I feel fatigued still throughout the day. I still ache from my fibromyaliga on this medication. I can't remember how long I was on this medication. I went off it and started taking Savella. Savella took care of the pain from the condition but now I'm having side effects from the medicine. Now I don't know what I'm going to take."


"I have been on Nexplanon for 3 years & 7 months. When it comes to preventing pregnancy it works like a charm. But the side effects are so damn hard to take. First round I had my period for a year. It was panty liner light but still irritating. I gained weight & was occasionally angry. My second round, well my period hasn't stopped since I got it & its tampon heavy. My mood swings are also off the walls. It's straining my relationship, badly. Thankfully my SO is understanding that it's just the hormones & not me. But he's been arguing with me to get it removed in hopes it'll make us happier. Horrifying panic attacks, bad depression, raging anger. Sometimes it swells & itches where it's been placed. I'm making an appointment to get it removed asap"


"The next day after taking it, I began to have twitching in my hands and fingers, dizzy, could not walk a straight line and was extremely tired, sleeping 20 hours (I usually sleep 6 hours). After being taken off, after 3 days, most of my strength has returned, still a bit lightheaded. Apparently these effects affect 2% who take the medicine.  "


"I'm 28, no children. I've been on this birth control for about 5 years and have just one complaint - it gives me high blood pressure. High BP runs in my family, so I am switching from this birth control to another one. Apart from the high BP, this birth control has been fantastic. My skin has never looked better, I didn't gain weight, nor did I experience mood swings. Occasionally I had spotting between periods, but it was never anything that disrupted me. I know everyone is different, but my experience was great."


"Very thin woman age 58 my first experience with this medicine was excellent. Now the generic Megestrol Does nothing for me. Went through 9 bottles with no weight gain. "


"I have had no side effects with Bystolic @ 5 mg dosage......"


"Works much better than other over the counter medicines. My allergy came back this time of the year, and this year got worse. My sneezing won't stop even to the point I get nosebleed. So I tried Allegra, it did suppressed all the sneezing for hours, however my nose still somewhat congested. When they mean "non-drowsy", they really mean it. I took other over the counter allergy medicines before, which they listed as "non-drowsy", but I constantly found myself falling asleep every now and then."


"So I got the skyla about a month ago and honestly I was terrified but I was pleasantly surprised. The insertion took almost no time at all, and it was pretty uncomfortable for maybe a minute? Afterwards I had cramps that weren't killer but still kind of bad. The cramps went away a day or two later... then I got my period. I have had it for 3 weeks now and my doctor told me not to use a tampon until I had my one month appointment. Truthfully that has been the worst part and it better be damn worth it!!! (Reading these reviews made the experience x20 worse)"


"I was skeptical first trying it because I never had birth control before. I'm 23 and a hypochondriac. My 1st month (Nov) I started taking it on 16th during my period , it lightend it by 3 days-- a week after, I spotted lightley for 2 weeks straight (nothing serious or worrisome). December I got my period on time, again it was light and short, and then january I didnt get my period but had really really light spotting for 1 day and my doc said that WAS my period.

Basically I had NO other symptoms at all being on this pill, aside from a really sweet tooth craving chocolate and sweets which made me gain about 5-7 lbs.

Other then that. THUMBS UP"


"I got my Mirena put in in 2008. Its been in ever since. When I first got it I spotted  for the first 6 months pretty heavily, but I expected that. Then the heavy turned light. About a year and a half later my period stopped completely. Once or twice a year since then I spotted for about a day, but it was hardly a big deal. So far so good. "


"I've been taking this for exactly 5 weeks and have lost 17lbs, from 194lbs to 177lbs. That was with absolutely no exercise, just eating when I was hungry (which was next to never). Every time I increased the dosage the side effects were rough. I had several episodes of vomiting, fatigue, and just thinking of food would make me nauseous. But honestly for losing that much weight it was worth it to me. Only concern is I've now been at the 3.0mg dose for over a week and my appetite is crawling back and my weight loss is slowing down. I'm hoping once I start working out my weight loss will resume and my appetite won't be out of control like it was before I started this med."


"My husband used the patch for the first time to a long plane ride to Vegas.  He had put on a total of three patches for the duration of our trip there.   Upon returning home, he removed the patch and within 24 hours became violently ill.   Six days later he has lost ten pounds and gets out of bed only to go to the bathroom.   I believe when this patch is dispensed the physician or pharmacy should red flag the drug as far  as side affects go.   My suggestion is to use with extreme caution."


"IT started in the spring of 1996. I began having stomach pains horribly EVERYDAY. Nausea. I had made a major life change in going into something with a 4 and 1 year old that I did not want to really do but my wife wanted BAD... By September of that year, I had become in such pain and lost 50lbs that my intern put me in the hospital for one week with EVERY test of the digestive system. Long story short, I left the hospital with a diagnosis of GAD and secondary IBS.  Went home and didn't sleep one week, so doctor put me in a private mental home. They put me on 1mg klonopin and 20mg paxil and 50mg Trazadone for sleep. In 5 days, NO stomach problems at all. Ate 3 square meals, played ball, went to gymn. WAS ALIVE AGAIN!!!"


"So I've had the nexplanon since December of 2013. Prior to the nexplanon I was on the deep shot for about three rounds (9 months) I went to basic training and missed my depo shot time frame so when I got out of training the nexplanon seemed like the best option. I haven't had a period since March of 2013, no spotting, no cramping. My nexplanon expires in December of 2016, and beginning in late January I started severly spotting, and incredibly severe cramping. My acne has gotten worse in the past year ranging from face acne to moderately severe back, chest, and shoulder acne. I do not recommend getting the nexplanon. If you're lucky you don't get a period, but I've noticed more people have problems than not."


"I posted about 2 months ago when I first started taking Nortriptyline, 25mg, once a day.  I had a continuous headache day in and out.  After taking multiple drugs, Imitrex, Prodrin, Midrin, not much relief.  After about 2 weeks on Nortriptyline my continuous headache had diminished, "almost" entirely.  I did notice though many afternoons my headache return and I had to take other meds to help reduce the discomfort.  I talked to my doctor and he agreed maybe 2x a day would be best.  25mg in the morning and again at night.  That was about 3 weeks ago and now, very rarely do I have any headaches, at any time of day.  I hope this continues.  What a relief.  To me, this has been a true wonder drug for my 24 hour headache!  No side effects."


"My daughter suffered from depression and anxiety and had tried SSRIs. We thought this might help give her more energy and feel better since it affects dopamine. However, over the summer her anxiety got worse. At college her anxiety got even worse. She became paranoid and even started hearing voices. She ate very little and slept very little. She stopped going to classes and had suicidal thoughts. She called me and said she felt constantly "jittery," so I told her to get off the drug. Basically, it increased her energy and made her mood much worse. I don't recommend this for someone who suffers from anxiety since it affects norepinephrine - the fight or flight response."


"This pill is a nightmare. I have been on this pill for ten months and I officially go off in 7 days and that can't come any sooner. I don't even know where to start with all the horrible things this pill caused me. I didn't start getting all these issues until six months into the pill. I got extremely extremely bad anxiety. I have been in a constant state of anxiety for the past five months. I am also extremely depressed. Due to this pill. I developed sleep paralysis and insomnia due to this pill. I am a comepletely different person then I was ten months ago. This pill ruined my life. My memory also got extremely bad on this pill as well. This pill literally has caused my life to spiral out of control."


"I started Saxenda on 8/28 I am currently on dose 1.8. I feel great, sometimes I get bad headaches at night but they go away. I have lost 11 lb's rarely feel hungry and I do not have any cravings for sweets. Which sweets are a big thing to me. Right now I feel like I am at a stand still I eat around 800-1000 calories a day. Looking to lose 40 lb's but I am taking it as it goes. I am so happy I started this."


"I have degenerative disc disease from my neck down and chronic daily headaches. I have been put on this several times over the past 4 years but even taking 100mg 4 times a day it did not help."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

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


"Changed my life. Anxiety is gone, and because of that my depression. Loving life anxiety free is amazing. Can't believe I waited this long is my only regret."


"My doctor started me on Paxil when I was 6 months pregnant. It made me emotionally numb. I kept taking it for about 3 years because the side effects of missing a dose were unbearable. I had to have the dose increased and eventually was on the highest dose and Xanax was added. I gained weight, was always tired, had a decreased sex drive and I couldn't cry when I needed to. I attempted to stop taking it 5 times before I was successful. I had horrible withdrawals for two months... sensitivity to light, nausea, a jolting sensation through my head and arms and uncontrollable crying. It was worth it. I am now taking Zoloft and finally feel normal. I lost the weight I gained while I was on Paxil and I cry when I need to."


"I have been getting Desogen from Planned Parenthood for about a year now. The pill seemed to clear up any acne, the only breakouts I have now are around my period (to be expected). The only downside was around my period I would have crazy intensified mood swings, angry one second and crying the next. Other than that, pretty good pill."


"I'm 30 years old with 3 kids and I was addicted to Vicodin and Percocets. Everyday was all about waking up and waiting by the phone to find my pills for the day or I couldn't take care of my kids. The worst was panicking when I couldn't find anything. I would take it out on my kids when it wasn't their fault. I was addicted for 6 years. After a while I needed more and more so I started getting sick and had the worst withdrawls. So I got Suboxone and am feeling wonderful. I have a smile 24/7. It's the best. I can sleep and enjoy my kids. The discoverer is a genius."


"I have been taking Contrave since  Feb, 2016. Male - 63. I have lost 25lbs. so far with little to no excercise. 327 down to 302. The only side effect I noticed was a little nausea in the first week, but it went away after that. I have not suffered any other effects as in testimonies from others. This product does block the hunger feeling and the full satisfied feeling. I watch what I eat, reduce  portions, and have cut out most carb consumption. I will be taking walks soon now that winter is over. I recommend Contrave, however as it is stated in the product information, this may not be for everyone. The side effects described concerned me in the beginning, but I have confidence in the product now."


"On my 4th pack and have not experienced any problems other than once. I accidentally missed a pill one time starting my 2nd pack and followed the instructions at night (I always take my pills at 10pm) and the next morning I had what I assume would be similar to morning sickness which was awful. I had the most nausea the first month on the pill but after that it seemed to gradually decrease to the point where I hardly noticed it at all, if any at all. The first time I took the placebo, I got my period after at about the same time I do now regulated on the pill. I haven't used birth control before so I was not expecting to be regular on the pill this early, but that's amazing! Acne has cleared up too! Very happy!"


"I Judy had a shot of Toradolcin my right button. I don't feel the severe pain in my shoulder & back. The pain is still there, But not a severe. I have not had any adverse reaction."


"I know birth control affects everyone differently. And I happy for the people who enjoyed this birth control. But I did not. I was placed on this to manage my endometriosis. When I started taking it, the first two weeks were constant crying and shaking from my anxiety sky rocketing. It slowly adjusted but still had panic attacks and my depression got worse. All of my physical problems went away. But it made my emotional and mental issues MUCH worse. By the 3rd month I was mostly adjusted and starting to feel like myself again... until I took the pills for my period... Then it started all over again!!! I decided to stop taking them. And my body is still adjusting after almost two months. I would MUCH rather deal with the physical pain."


"I have been taking this medicine 24mcg once a day for a week now. Nothing has happened yet. I drink 1 to 2 quarts of water a day, on the fodmap diet, eat tofu, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Also eat a lot of chicken. I have had no luck so far. I have left 3 messages with my doctors nurse and no call backs yet. I feel bloated, full of gas and feel miserable. So I am stuck taking laxatives, Epson salt enema's or citrate mag (awful tasting stuff ever) then feeling sick all the next day with upset tummy and sitting on the throne off and on all day. I clean myself out about every 3 to 4 days because I feel miserable and sluggish and it starts all over again after cleaning myself out. I have had this IBS-C for about 20yrs now. It ruins my life!"


"I read a lot of the reviews and there aren't any from people that have had it for the entire 5 years!  I am going in Friday to have one removed and a new one put it.  I've been reading the reviews because I wanted to see what it is like when the remove it because I'm kind of a wimp. I love love love Mirena though!  No periods, no trying to remember to take a pill every day! I LOST 45 pounds - not because of Mirena, mind you - since I've had Mirena so weight gain was determinately not a side effect for me.  I would and AM doing it again!"


"Itchy beyond belief!"


"I have used Levitra for the first time last night and I had the longest n hardest erection after so many weeks. I was using Cialis previously but Levitra is better than that for sure."


"Was prescribed for pain related to colon cancer. Not taking any other meds yet. It arrived at 3pm today, took two 50mg tablets. Within 20 minutes the pain was gone, within an hour I was high as a kite.  Couldn't focus, but felt good. Went to bed at about 6:30pm (I work grave yard shift), woke up at 10:30 with the worst headache ever, and very dizzy. At about 11:00 on my 5 minute drive to work I had to pull over due to dizziness and nausea. Ended up dry heaving on the side of the road for a few minutes. Started sweating profusely. Finally got to work, still dizzy. Can't focus on my work, and having trouble getting my eyes to focus.....  12:08, had to stop typing halfway through last sentence to run to the bathroom to vomit...  Will not take more."


"I have struggled with gaining weight/appetite for a while now. After dropping down to 109 and hearing comments every day about being thin, I saw my doctor and he prescribed me this. It has worked wonders for my appetite! I put on 10 lbs in almost 3 weeks and plan to keep going until I'm about 130. They made me sleepy at first but now that has worn off after about the 2nd week. If you are looking to put on weight I highly recommend trying these... Great appetite enhancer!"


"I am 30yrs old. I have been taking Klonopin for 6 years, for severe anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder. Since I have been taking it for so long I have gotten a little immune to it. I started taking 0.5mg today I use 2mg 3x daily. When I first started taking it the effects were very strong. So I recommend you start at a lower dose. This medicine has been a life changer for me because now I finally feel like  human. I have 2 small kids to look after and with this medicine I can function better in my daily life."


"My SUPREP kit had the mixing cup and 2 bottles of the solution. It smelled like grape soda. 20 minutes or so prior to use, I put it and the water in the freezer to chill, mixed it, used a straw and - it tasted like the "Nugrape" soda I drank as a kid. I was easily able to drink it. No nausea. Did it's job. No sweat."


"Do not take this depo provera shot.  I have not stop bleeding and I  took one shot gained 4 pounds because of the shot so I have stopped taking it  and now  I'm bleeding and it won't stop. It's been going on for months now. I never had problems with my period until after I had the depo provera. Don't take the shot you will  not maybe ever to have kids again. Bleeding doesn't stop.   This shot should be discontinued and off the market."


"I'm day 4 on Pristiq.  I've always hated being medicated to treat my depression and anxiety, for some time I had been doing okay with managing it on my own but recent events in my life sent me for a downward spin so I had to start the medicine. The first day was awful, I was dizzy, nauseated, shaky and for a period of 2 hours I was hit with a serious wave of paranoia I've never felt before. I wasn't keen to keep taking it after that but I've stuck it out. My doctor had to give me a sedative to help level me out because I was going up and down, mood completely unpredictable.  Today is the first day I've taken the sedative with Pristiq, so far so good. I've had to be on leave from work until things are a bit more balanced."


"I am 65, becauses of thyroid supplements, I started getting very oily with lots of blackheads on my nose, lips, & chin & a few small pimples.  Went to my Derm after an 18 year lapse; she prescribed Tazorac; I really wanted accutane which I had taken in my 40's, really good stuff, but she insisted that I try Tazorac at .1%; I love it.  It set my face on fire for about 2 weeks, I used Epionce medical barrier cream to cool it. & help with the sting.  My face was very red too.  After 2 weeks, the burn lessen and now I can put it on several days in a row without the cream.  Been using for 2 mos & my skin is looking fantastic & brighter, I have a few acne scars and they are looking much smaller too.  I am getting complements from family members."


"This medicine is like magic. I had constant post-nasal drip and congestion before I took this medicine. It was so bad I had trouble sleeping because I couldn't breathe through my nose. I also used to get sore throats frequently due to the post-nasal drip. On Allegra those symptoms are gone. I can actually breathe like a human and sleep better. The only side effect is dry mouth but that just makes me drink more water which is a good thing. I am glad this is available over the counter now, but I hate how you only get 10 at a time. "


"I have had two episodes of lone a-fib, one 15 yrs ago and one six months ago.  For the earlier episode I was placed on Toprol, Digoxin and Warfarin - it was HORRIBLE, I've never felt so sick in my life.  This time, I was placed on 240 mg of Diltiazem and Xarelto.  I have been on both for six months with the only minor issue being a bit of excess gas, small price to pay to keep the a-fib away."


"I found that while treating my chronic pain, it also alleviated my foggy brain and anxiety and increased my ability to focus."


"I have had chronic pain since 2006. At that time I also had back surgery with bone grafts put into my spine. The surgery was not successful and since then I have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Since using Avinza, the pain has decreased to the point that I can function on a limited basis. The pain is always present, just not as bad as it was. I also take Vicodin every 4-6 hours and the combination of the 2 seems to help. I am glad to know (not happy when anyone has pain) that there are others out there that experience pain the way I do. Sometimes, it feels like I am the only one and that is a very lonely feeling. But with the help of medications like Avinza, I can at least have times when the pain is bearable."


"I have been on the Depo shot since April 2010. I actually got it the day after giving birth to my daughter. I've been spotting for a year now (and still is) I've gained at least 30lbs, I have no sex drive, and I have lost about 3 inches of my hair. The only good thing is it does prevent pregnancy but that's about it. Definitely switching to something else."


"I was prescribed hydroxyzine by my dermatologist because I am severely allergic to insect venom. I live in Hawaii and am often bit by a number of creepy crawler. Even flea bites will cause me to break out and have difficulty breathing. I have found this medication very helpful in helping me in keeping me from itching and reducing the anxiety that can be caused when I have a lot of bites. I also use a steroid cream. The combination of the two has worked wonders for me and put an end to insomnia I used to experience as a result of being so itchy at night."


"Started taking Deplin to curb the side effects I was feeling on Lexapro. I'm not really sure if was working or if I just thought it was working. It also cost a lot of money."


"I was on this for about 4 years. I decided to finally get off because my mood swings were getting worse. This pill caused me to become severely depressed and developed extreme social anxiety. It was effective as a birth control but the side effects aren't worth it. I've been off it for a few months and feel so much better! Not depressed anymore and anxiety is finally getting better. Be mindful of your moods of you do decide to try this."


"I have been put on every muscle relaxant from Flexeril to Soma and then my neurologist tried me on Zanaflex last week for the first time. I have to say so far it's working pretty good. I feel a little drowsy but hopefully that will pass as my system gets used to it. At this point with my MS, I am willing to try anything in order to feel better and not hurt all the time. I'm thinking we are on to something here. At least that's what I'm praying for."


"Hello, taking Levsin has been a saviour for me No it dosen't always help but it works most of the time. I have always thought was the only 1 on earth with this problem . So glad to no I'm not The pain for me is worse than childbirth, doctors don't really get it, thats cause they never had it. I get IBS/D for 3 days at a time, most recent 14 days n counting."


"I have SEVERELY oily skin! I mean I have to blot my face several times a day to literally keep from looking like I rubbed baby oil on my face! I used the medicine as a teen and it worked wonders! Now I'm 25 and my dermatologist says I still have the skin of a 16 yr old (the oil producing cells in your body are supposed to stop working as well as you age, which is the cause of wrinkles, but mine shows ZERO sign of slowing down) anyway, dermatologist put me on Tazorac which is supposed to fix that, worked ok for a few weeks but still super oily! I asked him for this medicine because I remembered it working so well for me! I've only been on it a week and WOW I can already see a difference! And for someone with as much oil as me, I appreciate the drying affect of this."


"Thank goodness I am not allergic to sulfa! This medication worked like a charm on my roseasa hormonal cystic acne on my chin. I am 48 years old and it took me way too long to discover this miracle! Coupled with clindamyicin my face was clear within days!"


"I use to take Imitrex but it came to the point I wasn't taking it because when I did I had to double dose & add in pain killers to knock the migraines to a tolerable level. This pill is way better then Imitrex & it truly works. Other then it taking a little bit longer to kick in than Imitrex, it works better. I usually am able to tell when I'm getting a migraine and take naratriptan at that time & it will kick it before the migraine does fully."


"I was prescribed Cipro for a nasty and on going sinus infection.  I realized after many months of physical therapy on a bad case of tennis elbow that when I quit Cipro the tennis elbow disappeared.  The side effects listed tendon problems.  I believe it affected my elbow rather than other tendons."


"I just started taking Tri-Sprintec. I was recently changed from Orthro Tri-Cyclen Lo because of insurance. Orthro was absolutely perfect but I've noticed during the first month that just passed by the last 2 weeks I was SUPER emotional. I could be super happy one second and the next second I was ready to punch my boyfriend for a silly little argument. I'm hoping this all changes by the time I finish my 3rd pack if not will have to change brands."


"I'm 26 and have suffered from severe spots since my early teens.
I've been using this cream for around 3 weeks now.
I had quite severe spots on my chin that would become really sore. My Dr gave me duac along with tablets to take for 6 weeks. I've noticed such a massive improvement already and I've got so much more confidence.
It does dry your skin but I've started using cleanser and a cleansing oil after washing my face and I've got no dry skin.
Only apply to areas that need it because it can make your face really red and itchy.
Overall I think it's brilliant I'm so glad I finally went to my Dr "


"I was switched from Vagifem to Yuvafem by OptumRx and my vaginal atrophy worsened. I had heavy discharge and everything felt really uncomfortable down there, like I was having some sort of allergic reaction. I stopped using it and my symptoms got a little better. So I talked to my doctor and asked her to specify no generic substitution on my prescription. The copay for Vagifem is higher, but it is really worth it to me. Vaginal atrophy is terrible and Vagifem is the one medication that has really helped me."


"Well I was just prescribed vyvanse today for Binge eatin disorder (BED) and I'd have to say I'm pretty excited. For me I can be very conscious about trying not to eat but I always cave and eat until I'm sick, especially at night. I have 6 more days of 30 mg and then 60 days of 50 mg. I'd have to say after the first day I'm very excited and hopeful as I did eat normal meals and enjoyed them, however I feel no urge to eat the snacks that I don't need."


"Well I got this implant after I have my daughter in October 2014 this implant has been very good but sometimes it makes me nauseated and I get really bad headaches and I get dizzy.  As far as my  period goes I do not get any and if I do it's spots (brown ones) I like this implant so far I've had it almost all whole year it is great! Different people body react to it differently. Sometimes I felt like I was pregnant and it felt like I could feel feet moving inside but it was nothing just weird thing but I would recommend it"


"I have been experiencing hot flashes for 3 years but could take it no more. I finally caved and asked for the hormones ! My Dr. prescribed the Vivelle Dot at .05 and 3 weeks later I called and asked when I could expect some relief from these awful hot flashes. It had cured my sleeping issues and my sex drive came roaring back, and my dry skin improved, but nothing in the hot flash dept. It was increased to .075 and still no relief from these massive melt downs. I am getting very upset that I can get no relief and can't wait to see my Dr. again next month. I hate to have another increase but wondering if it will finally help !"


"I have had mild social anxiety and depression throughout my entire adult life, but as I quit smoking a couple of years ago, both the anxiety and depression ramped up to the point that they were unbearable.  I was afraid to leave my house, afraid to  go out in public, afraid of was what to come next, as my condition was getting worse day by day.  My doctor saw right away that something was wrong and prescribed me Lexapro, 10mg a day.  Ive never been a fan of taking anti depressants or any pills for that matter, but felt like had no choice.  During the six months I took Lexapro my confidence skyrocketed, I learned to be at ease in any situation and felt great.  Stopped after 6 months, but the anxiety nor depression never returned.  love it"


"So far so good! I switched from Lo Loestrin Fe. I was liking the lo-fe the first 3 months, 3 day periods was amazing. Then months 4-6 I had spotting, break through bleeding, and cramps, sometimes crazy discharge sometimes I was super dry, terrible mood swings, etc.) Anyways, I switched to this because it contained more estrogen and ever since January I've felt loads better. I don't see any difference in weight, appetite, or sleep. I have seen an improvement in my mood and concentration/focus since switching to this pill, I feel balanced. My period does last 5 days but my cramps aren't as bad nor is my period nearly as heavy as when I wasn't on birth control. 9/10 because I still use condoms and haven't really tested it 100%"


"I'm just starting on my second week of pills, and I've had no side effects so far! I take it at 8:30 every night, but I usually don't fall asleep until 11 and I haven't felt any nausea or sickness! I think it has started to clear up my skin, which is the main reason I started taking it.This is the first birth control I've ever tried and I love it!"


"Great! Cleared Hep C genotype 1a with twelve weeks of treatments in combination with Sofosbuvir.  A miracle!"


"I have been taking Mobic for 4 years now. Having a herniated bulging disc it helped me so much. I had an operation (laminectomy) to cut away part of the disc. 2 years later after the op I have the same problem again along with nerve pain. Without Mobic I couldn't walk. I also take Oxycontin to relieve all pain. I hear all stories how Mobic damages your liver etc. I've tried twice to come off it, but straight away the pain is severe along with headaches. "


"I have a long history with kidney stones and have been on every pain killer there is. Toradol is the only medicine that takes the pain away!"


"I currently take Topamax (for migraines) fluoxetine (Prozac)and Klonopin. I had tried Concerta but that "pooped" out on me fairly quickly so I was suggested to try Strattera. I was hesitant at first knowing that there was a very low percentage rate of those for which the drug has actually worked successfully for but knowing my own body and mind maybe it would be a great idea to give it a shot. At first the side effects did start the headaches and the occasional upset stomach but they went away with time as my body got used to the medication and the higher dosage. No matter what, you should give this drug a chance."


"Felt positive effects immediately at 10 mg. Had one day of diarrhea and some nausea but that went away when I started taking it after dinner. I'm going to ask to be bumped up to 20 mg on my next appt.

Very happy with Trintellix. Works better than Wellbutrin, Pristiq or Lexapro and side effects are much less."


"Very good."


"I was on Kariva for over 3 years and loved it.  Had no problems and a regular period.  However, I had to switch to Microgestin because Kariva isn't readily available in my state, I would have had to order out.  According to my doctor the closest birth control to Kariva was this one.  It really scares me.  I'm on my third pack and my periods have been significantly lighter, and that's awesome.  BUT they weren't nearly as regular as they used to be AND this is the second time I've experienced bleeding in between periods while on this birth control.  Stressful indeed! I'm not so sure how long I want to stay on Microgestin, not a fan of the in-between bleeding."


"I just want to say that this product has completely changed my life. I used to wake up to sweaty arm pits and I would worry about lifting up my arms all day long, every day. I would wear jackets to cover up the sweating and try to wear white shirts to try and help. Not anymore. I am 100% satisfied with its results. The only negative effect was just a little tingling and itching, but wow was it worth it. I no longer have to worry about my arm pits! Definitely worth every penny."


"Took three days to help with discomfort. Experiencing no side effects, other than chills/fever, which I suspect is from the infection."


"Just started today, and know this is going to free me from the ball and chain...I have no cravings since I took the pill and have been a half a pack smoker for far too many years, aprox. 40 !!!. From reading all the side effects most people have and having no cravings right off the bat I am considering staying at 0.5 each day for 12 weeks. I do not like taking any meds but have heard recently this product works. Had set a quit date for next week but that has changed to today!!! Good luck to all, Good Life!!!"


"I got positive results after the first tablet.  I stayed with the medication for two weeks but had to discontinue use due to constipation.  In fact the constipation was so bad in the second week I was giving myself enemas to get relief.  "


"I have only been taking this drug for two weeks, but despite the fact that my BP is definitely down, I have been ultra lethargic, my eyes have become very sensitive to bright lights, my back is aching, my bursitis has flared up again, my tinnitus is really loud, and I have been very arthritic for the last week.  Where is my quality of life?"


"I have PCOS and for the last two years have struggled with hormonal acne. I went from rarely wearing makeup to feeling embarrassed without it. I noticed changes when I stressed less but over the counter products were not working. My skin was very dry and had even started peeling. Also, I had huge cystic acne clustered on my cheeks and after a few days if using differin they were gone. I didn't have the initial stage of my acne getting worst. My face is pimple free after a week and a half. It actually has started clearing up my dark spots. (Note: I also take spironolactone daily  for acne as well as medroxyprogesterone 10 days a month for pcos)"


"Male. 20 years old. Got tested on July 2015 and the results were positive. Started meds on late Septmeber 2015. I had the meds early September but I was so scared to take them because of the side effects. When I started the meds I didn't have any side effect. At night when I was sleeping my ear was hurting so much because I have otitis media and I think my ear reacted to this meds like this. Anyways, beside that I HAVEN'T GOT ANY SIDE EFFECT!! THANKS GOD. I haven't had any headache, diahrrea, dizzyness or vomiting. I'm so happy I haven't got anything just the ear pain. Remember, the side effects is always different in each person. Also, try to take this med with multivitamins. I feel a little bit better and less tired."


"I'm actually 18 and I get migraines all the time. I loved it when I first started using it because it'll work in like 10 minutes. I'm weird because I'd get a dizzy feeling when I first took it but it wasn't bad. Now lately it hasn't been doing anything. I was really looking forward to taking Excedrin every time I had pain but I'll still continue using it to see if there still will be any progress. Huh, I actually started thinking my migraines are just too strong for excedrin.."


"I have been taking trazodone on and off for about 8 years for insomnia. If I don't take it I can only sleep for about 2 hours. I take 50 to 100 Mg. If I take 50 Mg I get about 5 to 6 hours of good sleep with no side effects. If I take 100 Mg I will get 8 to 12 hours of sleep but have very vivid nightmares that seem very real and find myself thinking about the dreams for several days. Hope this helps."


"I tried it once and loved it. It was like hearing the Beatles for the first time."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 months now. I suffer from PCOS so my periods are very irregular.. sometimes I miss 3-4 months straight. This pill hasn't exactly given me a normal period. Its mostly just old blood (the brown stuff) and lasts about 3-4 days.

It has made me feel nauseous; gain weight; and lots of acne which I never had before. It's so upsetting. I will be changing to a different pill soon."


"My doctor prescribed Pristiq for my anxiety. I was on it for 2 years and it was my saving grace. I know it says it can make anxiety worse but it took mine away. It was pricey but worth it. The only thing I MUST say is about the blood pressure. It states it can cause high blood pressure or make already high BP higher. My BP sat at about 130-150 over 90-100 while on Pristiq. I tell you too I am a healthy, thin 29 year old non smoker etc. I thought it was just my anxiety but now that I am off it my BP is 112/70! So for two years I had higher BP because of the Pristiq, so just be aware of that. But! It helped me through a horrible time and I'm thankful for that."


"It really works for my migraines-no longer in bed and I can work though still tired. "


"I am a 21 year old female and I used nuvaring for 2 months but it was affecting my moods (making me really depressed and unmotivated) and I couldn't take it anymore. I tried it again a few months later hoping it would be different but I spotted for the whole month, I got acne, and my moods took a dip again. I had it for a month but have since switched to Skyla"


"It's not worth it. I had one dose and bled for 3 months non stop and felt like a whole different person, I was constantly worrying and giving everyone attitude. I've been off it for 6 weeks now and I'm feeling a bit better, hoping my next period comes regular. Overall the only side effects I experienced were anxiety, mood swings, a long period and, I would sometimes get short but sharp back aches. The worst thing I did was read all the horror stories because I got paranoid. You just have to wait it out. I would not recommend this method."


"I recently switched from metaprolol, 1/2 of 25 mg/ day to brand name Toprol xl & have found the negative side effects- fatigue, too low blood pressure, dizziness, nausea- to be much less. I still feel a little of that about 12 hours after I take it- I figure that is a slight " withdrawal" effect, it lasts about 30-45 min. & I don't have it every day. When I took the generic ( manufacturer, PAR) I felt on a roller coaster, up & down all day. The time release delivery feels to be much smoother with the brand name, toprol- I recommend it. All in all, it works well, keeps my heart in sinus rhythm, but it's a tough drug to have to take."


"Works well but is insanely expensive.

"


"I have Endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. This drug has given me my life back it works well for me and still allows me to function and care for my family. I was prescribed 10/325 three times a day and it does the trick. Soon I will see a pain management doctor and I'm not sure what he'll prescribe but we shall see."


"Gout is so painful. After first doses of Colcrys had immediate relief. I had fallen on my knee and was being treated for osteoarthritis with no relief. Went to arthritis doctor who told me it was gout in my knee. Went on Colcyrs and I can walk again."


"I'm 14 years old and I've been on it for 4 months and I hate it. I'm on it for regular periods since my blood flows too quickly and it has done nothing. I've been on my period for 4 months, light mostly but heavy sometimes. I also went on it for my acne but it did nothing. I gained 4 pounds and now I have stubborn belly fat. I also have huge stretch marks (idk if its related but they showed up when I took it). Also, I have no motivation anymore. Don't take this please!"


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


"So I went on ability about a year to two years ago and it made me gain 50lbs in less than 6 months. A lot of my depression ties into my self worth and body image issues so gaining so much weight (A long with hundreds of stretch marks) definitely damaged my self worth and thus making my depression worse. Plus I didn't feel like it made any difference in my life whether I took it or not. Worked for 2-4 weeks then quit working"


"I avoid drugs of all kinds and I'm a usually healthy person. After suffering years from horribly painful headaches that would leave me vomiting all day and totally out of it (I thought it was due to whiplash injury), my doctor prescribed Rizatriptan 10mg. It truly is a miracle drug for me. I use the melt-away tablets, and find the relief starts in about 15 minutes, and by 30 minutes, any headache is gone. I take them at the very beginning of symptoms. I do get sleepy, so I've learned that I can just take half a tablet, get the same result, and not feel so tired. I have had very slight jaw pain once or twice, and cutting back the dosage also alleviated that problem."


"This stuff is amazing! Had an upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EDG) and in and out! no issues and I woke up wanting to go back under! best sleep ever!"


"I had abnormal uterine bleeding and I didn't know why. I started passing clots & was bleeding irregularly. I thought, at first, that I was having a miscarriage. I went to my GYN. She prescribed Provera 10mg once a day for 10 days. I just finished my prescription & the only problem that I'm having now is sensitive breast. Other than that, my bleeding has completely stopped."


"Had my 3rd colonoscopy today, and this is the first time I have used Suprep. This is the first time I feel normal after the procedure! All prep medicines taste yucky, but because Suprep requires only 16oz. of liquid nastiness, followed by 32 oz. of water (twice); it was not unbearable. I have vomited while taking previous preps, but did not with Suprep. Yes, it is very salty and sweet, but if you use a straw it keeps it off your lips. I ended up taking about 5 sips with a straw over a 20-minute period to get it down, as any faster would have made me puke. Drinking the 32 oz. water afterward was not hard because the saltiness made you thirsty and want to drink it. I will recommend Suprep over all other preps to my friends."


"Suffering with chronic pain from debilitating spinal injuries, I was always prescribed Acetaminophen containing hydrocodone. I was always getting bad acid reflux and digestive problems I would explain this to my original pain management Dr. And he would switch me from Vicodin to Percocet and the constant stomach issues continued. I switched to a new Pain Dr. I told him I was feeling fatigue and constant acid reflux when taking my pain medicines. He suggested trying A time released pain medicine with no acetaminophen he felt I was taking too much Acetaminophen and perhaps too many pills period (4 pills a day) He suggested to try Zohydro, I Am forever grateful I switched. Great relief of back pain and stomach problems. 10 stars."


"I was quiet nervous about talking this pill, because I have had such bad experience with the shot. I'm on my 11 day of taking Lutera. I started on them the first day I received my period....and I've been bleeding ever since...very heavy at that, not a very happy camper. I have never bled this long."


"absolutely horrendous - I don't understand how anybody can take these drugs. All it did was put me in a fog and laid awake for hours on end. My doctor wanted me to try something besides Ambien, because it causes dependency - big deal - at least I can get some sleep. The only plus would be the cost - 13 cents for 30 pills. Not worth it though."


"This is the best I have ever taken"


"Pharmacy said this was the same as Endocet when they filled my prescription but gave me the Alvogen brand. This med gives me a after taste of aspirin which I have a reaction to. How can I get the Endocet brand back without looking like a drug seeker? 2 back surgeries in a year and a neck fusion. I'm in so much pain."


"After years and years of pain and lack of energy, finally got my life back only after 5 days on it and I am back to be my old me. Love it!!!"


"Was started on this in the ER at time of diagnosis. After three days and only negligible improvement I returned to the ER. This time I was given an IV of Rocephin and by the end of the day I could see huge improvements. Not sure why they don't culture and match the right drug."


"My husband has ADD, and it really took a toll on our relationship.  He was originally on Vyvanse, but it suppressed his appetite horribly.  It didn't do enough in ratio to the side effects, so he decided to try Strattera.

So far, it's been working decently.  His main problem, however, is being able to urinate freely.  I bought him Urinozinc Prostate Formula, and literally the first pill he took, he was able to urinate much more easily.  Conversely, when he forgot a pill the other day, he noticed an immediate difference, and struggled to urinate.  The supplement has allowed him to stay on Strattera.

I note this stuff, as I have read that this is a common issue for men taking Strattera.  Hope this helps others."


"I have been using Eskalith for the last 5 years now and it has really help control the mania part of my bi-polar. If you want a good medication to help control your mania I highly suggest this one."


"I am a 50 year old male. I did not have a heart attack but did get three drug coated stents. Since I started taking Bystolic there has been a big improvement in my life. Blood pressure was controlled and I do not need a nap at 4pm every day. Thank You Bystolic."


"On Wednesday,  June 28 I had a surgical procedure where "CEFAZOLIN" was administered via IV. My reaction was "curse, swear, curse LOUDER" as it felt like FIRE coursing through my veins!" I also didn't know that taking the prescription for "CEPHALEXIN/750mg 2x/day" for a 5 day course would result in a HORRIBLE RASH -left arm/right arm/all across my upper back...
I DIDN'T THINK this would happen, since I had been on [Cephalexin; similar drug @ a lower dose] it a few years ago.
I believe it "could have been the IV ADMINISTRATION" of the [related] CEFAZOLIN.
I am EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE  dealing with this "ALLERGIC RASH REACTION" that came on within 24 hrs of finishing the course, (Not Uncommon.)
That's my review. EVERYTHING isn't FOR EVERYONE"


"Clonidine (Catapres) works great for the hypertension, cold and hot sweats/flashes, headache and overall agitation when undergoing ethanol/alcohol withdrawals. 0.1mg 3 times daily in conjuction with a benzodiazepine like chlordiazepoxide (Librium) or diazepam (Valium) may be needed depending on alcohol intake or the degree of withdrawal symptoms. Remember always be honest with your M.D. put pride aside because most likely it isn't anything he/she hasn't heard before."


"I was diagnosed with Depression when I was 14 years old. Now that I'm 22 I decided to take control. I was basically a guinea pig by trying all sorts of different medicines to help me feel better. I was just recently diagnosed with anxiety and also PTSD. I started to talk to my doctor after my episode and she put me on Fetzima. At first when I started it it made me sick and nauseous and I was constantly so tired. She helped level the medicine out and put me on Wellbutrin to help keep me less tired. With these medicines,I have been on them for 2 months and I can honestly say I feel normal again. I still have negative thoughts but they only last a few seconds. I love Fetzima. It has seriously changed my life for the better."


"The first two days, I felt alright. I drank a lot of water with my doses. (About 16oz) On day three, I panicked because my urine was really dark and wasted a bunch of time in the ER to find nothing wrong with me but needing to drink a little more water that day.
From day 4 till the very end, I felt exhausted and queasy in the  mornings took forever to get motivated to do anything. Luckily, I'm on summer break!
I read a lot on here that people took probiotics, but my pharmacist said that Calcium would interfere with absorption so I didn't. I eliminated all dairy to make sure there were no interferences. My last dose was yesterday morning and I have gas building up now- I'm guessing its from reintroducing the dairy into my diet?"


"Just starting day 3 tomorrow.Seem to feel better already, but very cautious. Have anxiety tho and take Ativan .5 mg, 3   times a day that helps. With all the good rerviews, I am very  hopeful. Wish me luck."


"Before Zoloft I was depressed, stressed about everything. The depression got worst once my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I began Zoloft a month ago. I am on 200mg along with Xanax. I haven't had much of an appetite but I am happier and am now able to sleep better. Things don't bother me and if I'm upset I feel no urge to harm myself or cry all the time. I am able to be the wife and mother my family needs me to be. Thank you Zoloft."


"This is the only medicine that works for headaches. I also take SSRI's for depression so I cannot take the Triptan drugs for migraines. Two pills and in 30 minutes my headache is completely gone. "


"I came to talk about the insertion, which happened about a week ago. I got myself all scared beforehand watching reaction videos but it was totally fine. The doctor prescribed to me some xanax beforehand so I was more relaxed but it didn't hurt at all. It was a little uncomfortable but I actually laughed at the cramping because it didn't hurt. It kinda felt cool. Don't be afraid!"


"I've taken Plan B more times than I am willing to admit, but I have had 100% effectiveness with this pill. While I highly, highly recommend regular birth control, sometimes the use of this pill is necessary. I used it three weeks ago after having sex. The condom broke at the last second and he came inside of me. I was so nervous because my ovulation window had fallen right around the same time (like the last few days of the window) and I was seriously praying for the pill to work. I had all of the side effects from the morning-after pill all week long. I'm happy to say, though, the pill WORKED and I have my period now. Do NOT freak out, I can tell you that using this pill, although it wreaks havoc on your body, is effective!"


"Vyvanse had "decent" effectiveness and minimal side effects . It was also (pretty much) the most effective medicine for me, despite it not being all that great at relieving many of my ADHD symptoms. (I have tried Dexedrine, Concerta, Adderall XR and, of course, Vyvanse)."


"I started smoking the day I turned 18 and at first it was just as a joke, but over time it became an addiction (I am 4 months shy of being 20). My family and friends hated that I smoked but I didn't care until about a month ago when I tried to go on a hike and was quickly out of breath - I hated it. I decided to quit smoking and started taking Chantix only 5 days ago. I had planned on smoking through the whole first week but on day 3 I realized that I wasn't craving it as much, and now on day 5, cigarettes taste absolutely terrible. I do experience some side effects: nausea, fatigue, stomach pain, and amazingly vivid dreams (not scary, unless you count a cat being able to literally multiply every few minutes as scary)."


"Don't use this 1 day stuff go to your doctor for the pill. My mistake thinking this medicine would work. My lady parts are burning and now I have extreme stabbing lower abdominal pain. Don't buy this!!!"


"Been on it a week so far and hives finally gone after ten years of daily suffering n different meds!!!"


"Usually buy the generic version but ran out and couldn't find it, so bought this name brand one when the whole house had colds and sore throats,  it sucks - it only numbs it for about 2-5min the generic works 100 times better. I'm mad I wasted my money. Lesson of the day stick with the generic when it comes to store bought cold medicines, same goes for dayquil or nyquil, they started taking the main ingredient that make them work out of the name brand ones because of stupid people abusing it, so now they don't work."


"I too am giving this review on the loo. I'd say its like a salty lemon drink. I was meant to be going to see a panto tonight but has the saying goes oh no your not. Very watery bowel movement can not leave the toilet for longer than 5 mins. I feel like the guy from dumb and dumber when he gets tricked into drinking laxative. Lol. Well hopefully will be clear when go hospital tomorrow. I'm in the uk too so got on NHS."


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


"I love it! My biggest concern before getting it was that it would be painful to insert because that's what I'd heard, but it actually wasn't at all. The doctor numbed the area, which stung a little bit, but after that, I literally felt nothing; he was done before I even realized he'd started. The most uncomfortable part was the tight wrap that has to stay on overnight.

The next day I barely felt it. The 2nd day after, it wasn't even sensitive anymore.

As far as side effects go, I find it interesting that people complain about spotting. With any progesterone birth control there is a probability of spotting. I had random spotting with the patch and the pill. At least with this one I don't have to remember to take or replace anything."


"I have 5 children & am 42 years old. My partner has had a vasectomy. I've never had a regular period - and have no interest in getting one now. So - I do not want a period.  After my son was born 6 years ago - I went on the Mirena IUD - NO period was awesome & lasted 5 years.  Last year I changed to the Implanon - I have had NO period and of course no pregnancy.  But, in the past 6 months have gained 20 lbs!  My hair & skin are extremely oily. Acne is horrible. and I fear I've had many of the other symptoms and just never thought Implanon could be a reason for moods, headaches, sore breasts, extreme weight gain and acne. I think it's time to remove but I don't want a period."


"These are absolutely horrible! I Literally took one tablet and they've knocked me out for 3 days. I feel like an absolute zombie, can't drive, can barely string a sentence together, and sleeping horribly. They're making me have very weird vivid dreams and I wake up exhausted. I will never ever take these pills again."


"Amazing. Had mild acne from 19 onwards. Tried everything you can buy over the counter, and tetracycline tablets and Zineryt lotion from my GP. Nothing seemed to cure or get rid of the problem. In desperation asked my GP if she had anything left in the armoury apart from Roaccutane, after a really bad break-out. She said try Epiduo. Absolutely amazing- maybe one spot a month now, for the last 9 months. Never seems to irritate my skin. Please, do try it. All the other positive reviews are so right. It is great stuff. I live in the UK, so "


"Makes me tired sometimes and bleed a lot when cut but a necessary drug for me. 6 heart attacks and quadruple bypass surgery all in 1 day. That was Easter of 2008. Still alive...but not the man I used to be."


"Was consuming Bydurion 2 MG week, Metformin 2000 MG day, Glyburide 15 MG Day, Crestor 20 MG day, Lisinopril 20 MG day.

Added Farxiga 5 MG Day 3 mos ago.   Average AM Glucose was avg 220.  Now 120 every day.  A1C will certainly be down from 9.0.   Frequent urination, but my life is better because of Farxiga.  A definite game changer for me."


"I've been taking Zoloft for about a week now and its made me nervous, dizzy, almost emotionally dead (though that might be because of the Depakote) and has really increased my psychosis to the point of where as an addition to hearing voices I have been hearing music when there should not be any music, oh and dry mouth. I'm going to give it some more time but if these symptoms continue I will stop. I've read a lot of positive reviews though and I don't react well towards many medication."


"I use these patches on my neck due to nerve and muscle issues. They don't work as an anti-inflammatory. However, they do help with the main caused by my inflamed muscles. I sometimes get tingling in my face and hands and arms that get pretty severe, and these patches relieve most of the pain and/or numbness within 15 minutes. They do, unfortunately, seem to never want to stay on for more than an hour."


"I recently went through a medical detox from heroin and after 6 days when my vitals showed I was opiate free I was administered the Vivitrol shot which is pretty deep and painful in itself.  I experienced terrible symptoms like upset stomach, diarrhea, severe restlessness, muscle cramps and twitches, nausea, chills, fever, enlarged pupils, lazy eye, extreme irritableness, high anxiety, rapid heart rate, shakiness, and sleeplessness plus the sight where the shot was administered ached like an epidural. I ended up in the emergency room with an adverse reaction. I feel like death and can barely focus on my actual detox and life.  Next month when this shot is hopefully out of my system I will not get it again! At least I'm off heroin!"


"Ok,I guess I will start with saying I feel so much better, I have been addicted to opiates for 15 years, first 10 years I put my ex husband and only son thru hell. Lost both of them, went to jail needless to say my life was horrible. Got sober for a little while met my new husband and gained 3 kids. I did good for about a year then bam right back to pill chasing and about to loose it all again. I got on methadone, which is now what I call evil. I was on 120 milligrams for 4 years. I switched to suboxone and did not wait long enough. I had horrible precipitated withdrawal for two days, it has now been 5 days and I feel  wonderful. No more sickness or withdrawal. I take two 8/2 strips a day. It works great for me so far. So much energy."


"I fell off of a ladder at work and shattered my elbow and slicing my nerves.  After 3 surgeries over a year period I was still in a lot of pain.  After going through the norco dependence I was finally referred to a pain mgmt doc who first tried Opana to no avail.  I was then put on an extended release Fentanyl patch which worked but did not last near long enough between doses. The doc then put me on Nucynta ER tritated up to 250mg x2/day and it has been a godsend.  I keeps my pain at bay and doesn't get me high.  I will say that it seems to only last 8-10 hours but I have norco to fill the gap.  Very happy with Nucynta and I feel like I have my life back.  Friends and family say that I am much better to be around as well.  Good luck to you!"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I have three little ones. I took these prenatals for the majority of my pregnancies and through nursing. Easy to swallow and I felt better while on vita fol. I have tried OTC and generic prescription...vitafol ultra is my favorite.  Happy momma.  They can be pricey"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I took this for only two weeks for menorrhagia and stopped immediately as soon as I realized I was having severe side effects. I had low blood pressure all my life (and I have taken other bcps before with no problem) and this pill spiked my blood pressure, and it never went all the way back down again. It also permanently changed my skin. My face has permanent uneven blotchy dark spots now that get worse whenever I get a tan. It has been over three years since I took this and I no longer take any hormones at all. I miss my nice even skin tone that would tan well so much!  I wrote this review to warn others. Read the insert! This bcp has a way higher risk of thrombosis and stroke than other pills! Monitor your blood pressure! Blotchy skin is permanent!"


"I was diagnosed with panic disorder over a year ago and basically was a wreck. I couldn't drive, leave the house, even talk on the phone. I sought out a psychiatrist who put me on Paxil...it helped me get my life back, but, it also made me restless, zombified, and I gained 30 pounds (I'm normally quite thin)..I moved and got a different doctor who put me on Celexa 20 mg because she claimed it had less side effects and my weight would go back to normal. Boy, was she right. It was a rough week of med transition, but I can sleep again normal, I feel more alert and less groggy during the day, still can orgasm, and I'm slowly going down on my weight. I love this medication."


"I haven't had a seizure in over 3 years because of this drug. It has helped me so much in daily life that I can't imagine my life without it. The price is also very reasonable considering what it treats."
