"I recently had 3 very painful surgeries within 3 weeks. It's been a month & one week since my last surgery & I've been on Oxycodone IR 15mg every 3 hours (max 8 pills per day) ever since. I am a recovering heroin addict so this is a very slippery slope however i am now being tapered down VERY SLOWLY by one pill every 2 weeks until I can be off of them completely. I have a very patient & understanding pain mgmt dr. This med works extremely well as a pain reliever & is also very calming. I see the potential for addiction & the only downside is how fast tolerance develops. After a month & a half I feel like I need 30mg every 3 hours to do what 15mg did before but still it eases my pain & that is all that counts. I have zero side effects too!"


"Elmiron reurned me To th"


"I have found Seroquel to be very helpful in my life. I was on high antidepressant medicines but gave those up. The Seroquel helps me lead a normal life by allowing me to sleep and calm down after long working hours in a high demand job. I take 100mg before dinner which helps my appetite also. I would not take Seroquel during the day as I feel it would inhibit my ability to communicate at work.

From what I've read some interpolate the effects of the medicines in differing ways but I can honestly say it has saved me from a very dark place.

Expensive but worth the cost."


"I have had 4 or 5 yeast infections in my life and I have used this product every time I have had it and it gave me great relief. This time however seems very different. It burns so badly that I felt that I might not have a yeast infection, but maybe a bacterial infection until I read the rest of the reviews. It's burning and itching like crazy! It's also very swollen below. I presume that the more you scratch before hand the more it burns when the anti itch cream is applied, but this definitely feel terrible. I can't possibly go through another two nights of this."


"33 y/o w/ 1 child, ParaGuard (copper IUD) over 2 yrs now. Originally chose due to non-hormonal option (had extreme nausea on the pill.)
POSITIVE: had immediate nausea relief, no daily pill, no mood swings/weight changes. NEGATIVE: long, heavy, painful periods like never before & did not improve over time. 1-2 days became 7. Super Plus tampon each 45 min and lots of stained clothes. A simple tampon change on a "Paraguard period" can make your bathroom look like a scene from Dexter. Hubs felt IUD string poking him until doc tucked it farther up/inside cervix. It served its purpose for a season of life, but now I'm willing to give hormones another try & switching to Mirena."


"I'm taking Neurontin for my Basilar Migraines. I started out with 600 mg/day and it worked well in controlling my terrible auras (vertigo and double vision) for about 10 months. I started experiencing mild vertigo the past 3 days so it was increased today to 1200 mg/day. Hopefully it will continue to keep my auras in check.

For me, the downside of this medicine is feeling lightheaded and I sometime have trouble recalling things. Also, sometimes I get a "high" feeling, but it's all good."


"Doesn't really do anything for pain or swelling, but does come through with the headaches and itching."


"I was diagnosed in May of last year, only because my Dr wanted to "rule out" HepC but instead, I was one of the many "un-lucky" baby boomers that tested positive. I have Type 4 and I have/had no symptoms or indication of the virus except the positive blood test. I was also diagnosed with MALT Lymphoma at the same time. I completed radiation therapy for the cancer in Dec 2016 and waited for the HepC treatment until the effects of radiation had passed. I started Epclusa 2 weeks ago and I've had 0, none, nada side effects. In fact I'm feeling pretty darn good! I've been worried that it's not working since I'm feeling nothing but seeing that several people on this forum have had no side effects and complete cure makes me very happy!"


"I started taking this drug in January of 2017.  The first thing I noticed was that within two hours of the infusion, my sinus's felt completely clear. Within three months I got my sense of smell back which had been gone for 9 years.  I'm getting ready to have my fourth infusion next week and am finally starting to feel better with my lungs.  It's not a big improvement yet, but I'm starting to get encouraged.  Even if my lungs don't see much better results, I believe the relief it gives with my sinus's is worth taking the drug.  I will write back again in three more months to see how it is then."


"After two days of treatment with this medicine at 7.5 mg morning and night, I find my pain greatly reduced."


"I have tried probably about 8 different birth control pills trying to find the right one, and Orsythia is it! I used to get yeast infections right before my period like clockwork, not an issue as soon as I began this one. I have been on it for 3 years, and sexually active the entire time without condoms, and have not gotten pregnant. I haven't noticed any breast tenderness or nausea (and I have a SUPER sensitive stomach and am nauseated by many things). The only side effect I have been able to notice is vaginal dryness, but this his happened with every hormonal contraceptive I tried.
Clearly this isn't the pill for everyone, but for people who are having trouble finding the right one, give it a chance, it truly changed my life."


"I had been having issues with my Blood Pressure and edema so my doctor started me on this medication. I took it for about three months and went to a regular appointment for lab work. My potassium level was 1.6. I spent 4 days in the VA hospital and was taken of this medication and started on spironolactone. Also added potassium tablets too. This one is a potassium wasting diuretic. I rated it an 8 even though it didn't work well on me. It did do the job but the side effects were dangerous for me. Many people have no problem with them."


"I have been on Nexplanon for a few months now and I either have a 2 week long period, a one week long period that is followed by a few weeks of spotting, or I have a 2 week long period followed by two to three days without bleeding at all then spotting followed by two more weeks of a period. I have not been able to have sex because I am always bleeding or spotting. I have no idea if this birth control works for me because I haven't been able to have sex and try it out. Everyone is different though, I have had friends with the same problem as me and friends that do not bleed at all. You will never know what will happen until you try it. I have not gained weight so that is a plus."


"I have had this for about 5 months now.. I had NO IDEA others were going through the same things I am... I am tired, moody and have gained about 25 lbs.. I have been working out more and couldn't figure out what was going on until now. I am dry during sex, not in the mood most of the time. Acne has been pretty bad, didn't know why that was either (don't usually have acne). For a few weeks now my body feels like it is pregnant. The moods, tired, etc.... but all tests say not pregnant. It makes me uncomfortable to have so many things going on."


"Found this to be a very intense medicine. I am 64 and have a history of chronic bronchitis due to non repaired scoliosis and am quite susceptible to respiratory issues. On day 1 and 2 my chest and the ability to breathe was tight and restricted on day 3 much improvement but followed with severe abdominal cramping and nausea with dry mouth. I have lost 6 pounds and feel quite weak and dread the next dose. I am on it for 10 days."


"I am always nervous about taking new medications, especially antibiotics because they usually give me many side effects. However, Septra DS was very well tolerated! I don't do well with large pills, so I split them in two (since they're scored for that purpose) and found them much easier to swallow. I took each half about 30 minutes apart and never had any side effects other than a funny taste in my mouth, which may have been from the pyridium (stuff that turns pee orange) for the pain, which I stopped after the first day."


"Paxil saved me from panic attacks and anxiety. It has worked for me for years. I would definitely recommend."


"I have been on accutane 20mg for 3 weeks now. I have experienced dry skin and lips but have had a dramatic improvement on oily skin. I wear foundation and had to change to a primer and foundation for dry skin and it is sitting very well.
My skin started getting scaly dry and I went out and got Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel. It is completely worth it for the dry skin. You roll the gel over your skin with your finger tips and the dead skin just rolls off. It's very gentle and I have been using it every other day and my skin feels very smooth after. Still some dry parts around the nose but I am able to wear my make up without scales! I use it at night after cleansing with spectro gel, and then using Pond's night cream"


"After adding Vimpat to my Keppra regime, my seizures dropped to nearly nonexistent. I have tried most all other seizure meds, but this 1 worked for me. I realize everyone is different, this med worked for me with few side effects. I will gladly trade a few side effects versus a seizure."


"My doctor took me through a number of different medicines prior to starting Oxycontin. I have found that I sleep and eat better on Oxycontin. More importantly I function better on Oxycontin, including being able to care for myself. Since I began taking it my insurance tried to force me to the "generic" Oxycodone ER. Oxycodone made me physically ill whenever it released, it's continued use would have made me totally reliant on outside help as I live alone with closest family over 2,000 miles away. Since the Oxycodone affair we have tried other medicines and nothing works as well without the physical illness. I have ankylosing spondylitis and am looking at chronic pain."


"I have type 2 diabetes and have had severe osteoarthritis for years prior to taking Tradjenta. The one good thing about it is my doctor says it makes you feel fuller,  and I'm able to verify this. I'm able to resist sugar cravings easier. However,  I MUST go off this because of severe joint pain and stiffness that is unusual even by my standards. I can't sleep or get out of bed it's so bad. It's so bad,  I'd rather not take it and take the risk of developing kidney failure because it's not worth it"


"I tried this medication as I needed a good allergy med and it knocked me out for 15 hours - like a drugged knock out. I couldn't get off the bed to go to the bathroom even. It was horrible. I didn't move for 15 hours then when it finally started to wear off, I hurt all over. Finally, after 36 hours I'm starting to feel normal again. Never again! This stuff is nasty!"


"I had never been on birth control before so I was super nervous when I got married to start taking it. I read all the reviews, the horror stories and success stories and it seems to me everyones body takes the pill differently. I have been on the pill for a year now. The first month was aggravating was very nauseous had a lot of extra bleeding, but now my body is use to it and I feel no side effects I take it at night before bed on a full stomach. My periods are regular (granted I have always had a regular period) my acne and weight have stayed the same. The only thing I feel is different is during that time of month I am even more moody. No pregnancy or pregnancy scares even with missing a few pills"


"I got this about a year and a half ago. It's done well as a birth control (I'm not pregnant) but the sideaffects are intolerable. Upper lip hair, mood swings often, depression, some weight gain, fatigue, and occasionally pain at insertion site. I haven't had a period in a couple months and while I like it, I also like my period, as it lets me know I'm not pregnant. I'm constantly afraid I'm pregnant because my period comes so late or won't come at all. Being a college student it's great to have because I'd forget to take the pill but I can't handle the side affects. Ive also read about the implant "implanting" itself into the muscle of your arm...that raises lots of red flags for me."


"I have been dealing with Bipolar II for most of my life without realizing it was anything more than depression with some bouts of super focus and productivity. After being diagnosed and trying a few different treatments that had worse side effects than the depression we tried Emsam at the 6mg dose. Almost overnight I noticed a massive improvement. While I tend to go into hypomanic states more often with this, it is controllable and I am more than happy to have this as the major side effect. I have been taking it for almost 2 months at the moment and hope that it keeps rocking!"


"Been on Lutera 4 months now, and it's been good! Went to Planned Parenthood bc the wait for my gyno was 2 months and I didn't want to continue risking pregnancy....newlywed here! I was worried at first bc I had terrible side effects from other bc's (Depo made my hair fall out and Seasonique made me overly emotional and gave me sharp chest pains). I take this one at 10:30pm each night. Side effects for me: my boobs are larger and sore; I was a little crampy the first few weeks; I get moody around 6:30pm each night like clockwork (I'm guessing due to the hormone levels dropping in my body?) Skin and weight stayed the same. Periods are light, short, barely any cramps. No baby. Also, I still have my HAIR! Happy so far"


"I havent tried it yet but I am suffering from very extreme performance anxiety or can be said essential tremors. When I saw the reviews I am really motivated to take it and solve my problem.  I just posted this to see if the reviews are true. Also I am just 19 so if its too early to be using this drug do tell me guys"


"Imitrex has long been the "gold" standard for "migraine sufferers" " cluster headache suffers (a much rarer but more painful form of headache" and even those who suffer from just occasional really painful headaches but not frequent enough to be characterized as the "migraine" or "cluster" variety. After speaking to your physician about the safety of you using Imitrex, ask for Sumavel Dose from Zogenix.  Pre-filled units that get the medication in your blood within 3 minutes. Amazing!"


"I've been on Yaz for a year and a half.  This pill for real ruined my skin.  I have acne scars that will never go away.  I hate it.  I wish in the early months when it was ruining my skin that I had decided to stop taking it. Instead I read the reviews and thought if I just give it enough time things will improve. They didn't and now I'm stuck on the pill  that's still giving me acne (albeit not as bad as before) too scared to stop.  I feel like I'm being held hostage by Yaz.   It also gives me my period two weeks out of the month.  Worst decision of my life.   I've never posted on something like this before – but the experience was so awful I thought I had to warn others.  My advice is to listen to your body and if it's not working STOP!"


"I was prescribed Olanzpine for insomnia and it worked like a charm, was on 2.5 mg sometimes 5mg and would always get 8 - 10 hour sleep without waking, also no severe hangover effect the following morning. Downside is it significantly increases your appetite so you need to be cautious of subsequent weight gain thus I would only recommend olanzapine if you're suffering from a severe bout of insomnia."


"I really like this birth control I was on depo which was awful so I changed to lo loestrin fe it's been 6 months now, I have had a huge appetite increase I want to eat everything I was 110 and now I am 121 I've become a big cry baby - but as long as I don't have a child I am good I know every birth control has some side affects so I don't mind I'll stick with this one "


"I feel better in general, however there are times I feel awful, and when my BP was tested during one of those times it was lower than without meds, but still too high 140/90. However without meds, I feel awful all the time.

Side effects include leg cramps, calf twitching, and excessive urination. Cramps are semi-relieved by staying hydrated. Tiredness and dizziness stopped after the first couple days.

I am on the lowest dose, I suspect my doctor will increase it a bit."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been taking Beyaz for about 5 years now, I started when I was 14 because of severe cramps. It worked great for a while but in the last few months I have experienced spotting and longer periods with more severe cramps. I am going to speak to a doctor about trying another pill."


"This was the biggest waste of time and money. Had to reschedule my procedure due to this product not working at all. I've used other preps in the past with success and this one was a complete waste."


"This medicine is AMAZING. I was on the medication "Adipex" for 3 months - and that is the legal limit and in 6 months I can go back on that medication.  My doctor was thorough in giving me options - we jointly decided on Belviq.  My doctor warned me I would not lose weight as quickly as I had on Adipex.  So far, I am still losing 3-4 pounds a week with Belviq. I have lost 32 pounds with Adipex and another 6 pounds in two weeks on Belviq. I am totally satisfied and no side effects.  It is worth what I am paying."


"I've been on Lutera and another equivalent off-brand for nearly three years. Before, I had terrible cramps around my first day of my menstrual cycle, and now, I have very mild cramps. I'm usually fine with a pain killer and can go about my day, much different than my experience before with having to leave school just because it was so dreadful. The only side effect I have noticed was a decreased sex drive (not by much). I tried NuvaRing this summer and wasn't a fan, so I went back to Lutera. I would overall rate this a great birth control. But most importantly, I find it important to set an alarm on my phone to remind myself! It hasn't let me down, whether it be bad side effects or an unwanted pregnancy, for the past few years!"


"I have been on carvedilol taking 12.5 mg. 4 x a day for over one year. It lowered my blood pressure but my feet and ankles have severe swelling no matter what kind of shoes I wear and my toes feel tingly most of the time. I wonder if this is a side effect of this medicine.  I also started ExForge about the same time.  It is difficult to walk for more than 30 min.  I am 66 yrs. old and a female."


"I was prescribed this medicine (100MG) after diagnosed  with acute bronchitis. I took this med almost for a week. No improvement, still coughing with lot of mucus. Useless."


"I got Implanon the summer after my freshman year of college.  I had it inserted while I was home for a short amount of time and was not on my period when it was put in.  It's been in for almost a year now and I have had zero bleeding since insertion.  I love Implanon and I rave about it to all my friends. I must warn you though, that about a month or so after I had it put in I got pretty depressed and had to go on depression/anxiety medicines.  It wasn't a good time for me, but after being on the medicines for a few months I'm better and off them and loving it once again.  I've never felt like that before in my life and I contribute it to the implant."


"I experience 1-3 UTI a year. This drug gives me relief within a few hours of first dose. No side effects to report. Just drink a ton of water with it which helps a UTI anyway."


"Dr perscribed 75mg ext. release for bad side effects of cancer meds. I took one and boy do I regret it. Rapid heartrate, anxiety, yawning, mouth watering, sleeplessness. I won't take anymore!"


"Had horrible anxiety upon waking up for the first two months.  But it took Lexapro (15mg) 3 months before I got the full effect and am much better now!  Dr also prescribed Seroquel to speed things up.  Give this medicine time, it takes longer than the average 4-6 weeks as stated.  I felt a difference within a few days."


"I am still on my first pack of this pill, it is my first birth control pill. I have not had any bleeding issues or weight gain. In fact, I feel less bloated then usual. The only problem I have experienced is horrible nausea, I am hoping for it to pass soon."


"About 8 years ago I was put on the antidepressant Lexapro, only to gain a massive amount of weight between Christmas and Easter.  I was so shocked and it wasn't until one of my brutally honest acquaintances gave me the 'what the hell happened' look. My doctor moved me onto phentermine, and while it took a few weeks to kick in, once it did, it was great. But you have to work out also, and drink lots of water. Cravings for fast food and pizza do disappear.  I felt awesome by the end of the summer and was at my lowest weight ever.

Now here's the hard part: life after phentermine.  This loses its effect rapidly. Use it wisely and you'll be successful."


"Don't know what I would do without Monurol. I get a small supply from Spain whenever I go there (or ask a friend to bring some back for me) because it is available without a prescription there and I can't get it in the UK. I keep a packet with me wherever I go, just in case I get a cystitis attack. Maybe only twice a year but oh the relief take it as soon as an attack starts and it is effective within two or three hours. Many other antibiotics just don't work for me. This has worked for me every time, thank God."


"I have found very little relief from this otc medication."


"Works great but I get very stuffy for about an hour after I take it."


"I was diagnosed in 2013 with ibs.. Then 2014 ibd....now Feb2016 with crohn's...tried a lot of meds nothing worked went to remicaid well it has been working but never lasts that long... By 5-6 wks I'm starting to flare... This time after load in doses they used me to 7.5 and that worked I got 6 wks out of it instead of 4 wks.... But this time it's bad started flare of belly 4 days ago... And now I can't barely move feels like I've been hit by a truck... All my joints hurt so bad ...this is awful.. Hoping to get an infusion. ... But I read all the same issues...."


"I love this! I found the insertion virtually painless, and only had a little bruise for a couple of days afterwards. I have a short (1-2 days) and very light period once every 12-13 weeks which is a little irritating, but much better than it was! The only other thing I have noticed is I get headaches from time to time, which I never did before. This is the only reason I have marked it down. Definitely worth a try, and if you don't like it you can have it removed."


"I have been on Brintellix about 4 weeks. 2 weeks on 5 mg and 2 weeks on 10mg.  I have been on numerous antidepressants for depression and anxiety.  This has been so far the best.  A little nauseous after taking it the first week and a half. Nausea went away after eating something.  No side effects after second week.  No weight gain so far.  Feel better everyday."


"At 14 I started getting acne, started using everything. My acne had gotten horrible at 15 and my doctor recommended epiduo gel. It got worse even whilst using it, but I still stuck to it. In about 8 months, my acne completely cleared on my cheeks, even the scars. No acne treatment will clear up your skin within weeks, give it time. I am still acne free and its a couple of years later"


"Please note this medication (atenolol) did in fact make me lose hair. Each morning, I awake to comb my hair. I noticed large amount of hair left in my comb. I start searching the web on my medications. There it was atenolol. (hair loss) I told my doctor and was put on another beta blocker. The hair lose stopped."


"I have been on it for a little over 1 year and feel it has worked wonders for me."


"I have been on this for 2 weeks now. My doctor put me on this bc of the no estrogen and I was suffering from postpartum anxiety. It makes me extremely bloated and I have gained 9lbs. I have no sex drive and still am moody. I am planning on stopping this week. Not worth the additional weight gain after birth and the excess bloat is crazy!!! My mood swings are weird as well."


"I am a sixteen year old girl and have had a problem sweating since middle school. My wardrobe consisted of hooded sweatshirts and black t-shirts. I was so embarrassed. Every day at school I would sweat through all my clothes and finally my boyfriend even commented on it. I finally went to the doctor and she gave me Hypercare. I used it for the first time last night. It itched a little, but otherwise didn't bother me. Today, no sweat! It's like a miracle. I talked to lots of people and raised my hand in class. It was amazing! I kept absentmindedly touching the armpits of my shirt to check for sweat but there wasn't any at all. This has literally changed my life."


"For some reason, my acne became uncontrollable after I gave birth to my daughter. I finally went to the dermatologist after quite a few breakdowns. I started Ziana in January 2016. This medicine will take about 3 months of purging your skin before it shows how clear your skin will be. Be patient. Yes, it sucks. But it does work 100%. I have before and after if anyone would like to see or has any questions!

"


"I got Liletta inserted on January 10th at 2pm. The pain from the scale of 1-10, was a 9.7. I never had kids, no abortions. I swore out loud when I had this inserted. It wasn't a pain I ever felt before and that's having 3 tattoos and piercings as well as wisdom teeth surgery, and a cyst removal on my shoulder. This was PAIN. The serious pain though lasted I would say 2-3min. After was serious cramping like I've never had before. The next 2-3 days was spotting brown and weird colors, I don't know. The cramping was INTENSE. I don't normally have bad cramps on my period, but holy cow these cramps had me on the floor, on the couch, on the bed curled up in a ball... It's the 16th of January and I feel SO much better! No cramps or bloating! :)"


"I was also taking Vioxx, then was switched to Celebrex, which did not work for me.  One Mobic provides me the relief I need on most days.  Biggest side effect is constipation, but flaxseed oil plus stool softeners help with this.  I have been taking Mobic for 8 years."


"I had this inserted in March of 2016.  So I've only had this for about 3 months now.  I've only had my period once which is great! I get menstrual craps every now and again but no bleeding. Ive tried several pills which only made me gain weight, become depressed, gain weight and become very irritable for NO reason  I am very happy with this BC and would recommend it."


"I have been using Mobic every other day for a week now, and my pain is almost diminished.

My fingers don't hurt as bad, and I can make a full fist without hurting.  The pain in my upper legs is gone, and I can move once again like I am 30.  I am 63!  The side effects worry me some, so that is why I do not take it every day."


"Induced Fluoroquinolone Toxicity after ONE 500MG pill! I am not in the "risk" category that is listed in the warnings - was a healthy, active 32 year old woman who was given Cipro for a UTI. Experienced horrible side effects - tongue went numb, nerve pain, couldn't walk for a few days. Horrible tendon pain. This continues 7 months after using the drug.

This cost me heaps for medical maintenance after taking one pill:  Includes doctor visit, supplements, medical massages.

I would NOT recommend this drug. I took it a couple of times before without experiencing horrible initial side effects. That's what makes it so dangerous!"


"I notice there haven't been any recent otezla review postings. Does that mean everyone is so sick and tired of talking about this useless drug that makes you feel constantly lousy?"


"I am on day 3 of not smoking. I was a pack a day smoker for over 30 years. I have never tried to quit before. I think I have done very well. I have had some restlessness and some concentration issues but for the most part I can't say it has been hard. I have this inhaler and I use 1 cartridge a day. I know they say to use at least 6 but I can't even imagine using 6. I know that I have it if I need it and I have not had any side effects from it. Maybe a little high feeling but nothing to write home about."


"I've been on Zoloft for a week now. The first 5 days the side effects were horrible. Dizziness, stomach problems, sweating, weak muscles. Then on the sixth day, I remember the change. All day at school I was still experiencing the side effects and then I was in the car with my mom and I just felt a lot happier. From then on, I've felt SO HAPPY! When I talk to people, my mind is clearer and it's easier to socialize! I've been socially anxious my whole life, I LOVE ZOLOFT SO MUCH OMG THIS IS GONNA CHANGE MY LIFE! It's also boosting my confidence. :))))))"


"I never been on birth control until sprintec. I started the Sunday after my period and it made it heavier. Then got it again the placebo week and after that got my period for two weeks every two weeks! This last month it last nearly 3 weeks. I starting my period only a week and a half into this new pack and I just quit! Completely regret birth control in general. Only good things it did was clear my skin and make my boobs slightly bigger but not worth it at all. My mood swings were out of control and I completely lost my appetite so I lost weight. I miss eating and normal periods so I am happy to be done with you sprintec"


"I just read most of the reviews and half of them to me are ridiculous, anxiety, and depression?? your period gives you mood swings being a girl you get mood swings !!! I've been on this pill since I was 15 I am 22 now never had a problem unless I miss a few pills, I have never been pregnant, very light blood, no cramps, very little pimples to anyone with bad acne and bad cramps I highly recommend this pill. I used to throw up because of my bad cramps and now I rarely even get one"


"I had to mirena placed in two weeks ago and I haven't stop bleeding since then. Very frustrated since it was put in to stop the bleeding. Still deciding what to do."


"I have severe back pain and have been vomiting"


"I take two Lialda pills every morning..(1.2gm), Lialda helped my stomach pains and bleeding tremendously! I recommend to everyone! It took a good 2 months to really show a big difference but I am so happy I finally found something that helps. It has taken me years to finally find something. Also, Contact your doctor or Lialda because it%u2019s really expensive but you can get their coupon card and only pay $10 a month."


"Had mirena since March 2015, after my baby. Since then I have had no sex drive and despite all my efforts can't lose weight, starting to think this is the issue, thinking about going to gyn to be removed. I still have horrible cramping and mps. Finally no period but trade off is not good"


"Works great.  I weigh 250 pounds and require 2 x 325mg tablets every 3 to 4 hours to relieve the pain.  Am using to relieve pain due to shingles. Pain has been going on for 6 weeks and is just as bad as day 1.  Guess I'll just have to wait it out."


"I requested my MD to prescribe me the patch for lower T4 pain last week. Started taking it on Wednesday and today is Sunday same week. I'm now 80% better and changing the patch every 12 hours as prescribed to me. The first day (for whatever reason), I got a surge of energy when I first put on the patch. The pain subsided to about a level 3 from a level 6 after wearing it for just a few short hours.

Do not stop wearing the patch as the pain will come back quickly. I did have to supplement the pain with additional meds after I did some light home repairs (despite the the warnings) and this kept the pain level down."


"2 and 1/2 months on WB. Quality of life improved significantly. I am more emotionally resilient, have an increase in daily energy and I feel more motivated to do the things that were languishing on the back burner before. I have been on other ADs and this one is different; it didn't numb me, it lifted me up. The range of emotions is still there. But the difference is I can come back from sadness without being a total mess. It hasn't made me a better person, it's just made life less of an uphill battle. I've lost 20 of the 30 lbs I needed to lose so far too. Cons: lengthy start up phase (7 weeks for me) requires lots of patience, plus I couldn't sleep properly on Wellbutrin without my trazodone at night."


"Was on breo and spiriva .  Tried this for 2 weeks .  Ran out of breathe walking to the kitchen .  went back on breo anspiriva"


"I started this birth control because my body had a negative reaction to the Depo Provera shot. I enjoy getting my period every three months, and it's always pretty light. The only bad side effect I have experienced is skin sensitivity. I more easily get acne and whenever I scratch myself the marks show. The most prominent example of skin sensitivity comes from my bra. It just hurts so bad at the end of the day that I have to take it off. Otherwise this has been a great birth control, considering this is fourth one I've tried."


"This medication  has lowered my BP somewhat, but this medication is flat out making me cough my self to death. it is awful. My BP had a hard time  coming down to a normal reading and the MD gave me the  along with another BP medication to see if it would get it under  control, but the side affects are just killing me....."


"I have taken this medicine for ten years. 50mg at first then 100mg. Have suffered with rash on my arms, itching, light headedness, confusion since reduced to 50mg have noticed lightheadedness has decreased."


"I just finished my second month of 20mg/daily accutane. I am starting 30mg/daily this month. I have had 3 episodes of severe cystic acne throughout my life and acne always.

I am 37 and I can't remember a time when I didn't have pimples on my face. As I got older my acne moved to my chin and jawline, chest and back.

My acne began to clear right away on accutane. Just going on to my third month and I am chest, back, and face are smoother than I've ever felt.

I do have mildly chapped lips and I changed my cleanser to Cerave for normal to dry skin. I use a moisturizer day and night and sometimes even coconut oil on my face.

My doctor wanted to get me up to 40mg daily but I requested to be more conservative and he was agreeable."


"This is a wonder drug!"


"I have been on 1MG of Klonopin, twice a day, for about six months now to help with panic attacks and anxiety.  The drug has worked wonders for me.  It seems to work within an hour after taking it.  I feel like a whole new person now.  There is no feeling of unnecessary anxiety like I felt before.  Prior to taking this drug, I would get terrible anxiety for no apparent reason.  I was at the point where I was avoiding people and when I did get the courage to go out in a social setting, it was a constant fight to just feel comfortable.  Klonopin has literally destroyed those feelings.  When I first started taking it, I tested it out by putting myself in various social settings.  Not even a remote feeling of anxiety.  Thank you Klonopin. "


"I would give Zyprexa a 10 rating except for the weight gain. I have bipolar 1 and have a lot more mania than depression. I have psychotic symptoms also and racing thoughts a lot. It did make me very tired the first couple of weeks but then it worked perfect except for the weight gain so I am not on it anymore."


"It's amazing how much more focused my 16 year old son is, since he started his daily 36mg Concerta.  His work effort and work quality is improved dramatically.  Yes, managing his food consumption has been a bit of work.  His appetite is definitely not what it used to be, but we're working on it.  Although it's only been 3 weeks, we are all thrilled with his response.  Good luck to all!"


"Nuvigil worked great at 150 mg for a few months, then I needed to supplement with a quart of coffee in the mornings to keep me going until 1 pm.  Bumped up to 225 mg.  Not much better.  Very expensive, $90 per month ($3 per pill).  Aggressiveness, headaches, and thirst until I got used to it.  No side effects now."


"36 year old female diagnosed last year. I did not want medication, but fearing I'd lose my job from symptoms, talked to my doctor and gave Strattera a try. Been on it a month. Can see major improvements in concentration, getting things done, not jumping from one thing to another constantly. I'm also a calmer, less anxious version of myself, more patient mother. Things don't seem to bother me as much! My head is quiet. For side effects the first 2 days were bad - chills, tingling/current sensation on my scalp, upper back and neck and numb arms, drowsy. My doctor told me not to quit, so glad I did! No constipation or trouble urinating. Still get occasional chills and scalp tingling, low appetite (good cause I was overeating!). Hope it lasts!"


"Chest cold w/ post nasal drip for 3 weeks. Been on meds for 4/10 days, 875 mg horse pills.
Pros: no sinus pressure, cough lessened, voice back, no chest rattling and can sleep through the night
Cons: HUGE pill, slow to resolve coughing
Side effects: gas cramps followed by diarrhea in the beginning (but tolerable, like various foods or excess protein does), makes me feel even more drained, frequent urination, mild lower cramps.
Method: one mid morning after a meal but with food and water. No dairy. One late evening after supper with bread and water. I think the key for me  is a solid meal prior with no dairy, and bread helps. I think if it dissolves before the food, then that's where the gastric issues and nausea come from."


"I started experiencing migranes on a DAILY basis in June 2014.  I tried numerous over the counter medications and medications prescribed by my GP. In March 2015 I was referred to a neurologist who suggested I try Nortriptyline starting at 25mg before bed. I have progressed to 50mg as although the migranes went away I was still suffering with headaches at least 4 times a week. I am happy and only suffering irregular heart palpitations and night terrors. But overall I am extremely happy and am so thankful that life is back to normal. I can now function and go about my daily activities without constant pain."


"I have had numerous teeth pulled recently, getting ready for dentures and first I was prescribed Demerol which made me feel ill and personally I still felt pain. Then it was Percocet which worked great for pain but made me itch. Finally Vicodin 5 mg which I had to take 1 and a half to knock out all the pain. My dentist tried Vicoprophen 7.5 which worked absolutely perfectly but was a bit expensive compared to regular Vicodin. Well he prescribed Vicodin 7.5/500 and 1 tablet works wonders. I was told that I could take 2 at a time if needed but so far 1 seems to work for about 5 hours. I was told that I could build up a quick tolerance to the drug so I take 800 mg ibuprofen unless I really need the Vicodin."


"Got results, same day went and got the 4 tablets. Took them on an empty stomach but I ate straight after. Felt fine all day it's been a good 6 hours+. No side effects for me so far"


"I have been on these pills for 3 months now to combat heavy periods and everything has been great! I've had zero bleeding over the past 3 months. No headaches, no weight gain, no hair loss, so basically no side effects. I guess I'm lucky that my body seems to work well with these pills but everyone's experience is different. I'm on the yellow pills right now, expecting a period but I'm having some extremely light spotting and no breakthrough bleeding. According to the pharmacist this is normal in the beginning. I'm hopeful they continue to work well. Honestly, taking them at the same time every single day is the key to getting the best effectiveness possible. Well that's the end of my spiel."


"My skin naturally is not that oily, and I was put on Acanya by my dermatologist. It was not only thick and white, but it dried out my skin very badly. It did somewhat help my acne, but it left my skin with bad marks, and dry to the point where I could not move it without pain. I did not like this medicine. I am off of it now and on a much better one that nourishes my skin as well as treats the acne. Acanya was just not for me."


"I had to quit smoking, and was deep in the throes of everything mental. Called my doctor, and he prescribed Celexa...one-half pill (20 mg). I was furious! Half a pill? They either didn't have any idea what I was dealing with, or didn't care.  I griped, but I started that night, with my little `1/2 pill. The next day I didn't even think about a cigarette until I realized I hadn't thought about them!

I love Celexa."


"I started taking contrave 1/7/16 . Weighing 204lbs  and am 5" 1. I just had a baby 12-13-14 & been eating so much after. Since I started been feeling a bit tired for some reason, no headaches, I can't concentrate on anything almost as if I have no thoughts and at times feel sad all of a sudden, had mild cramps n been having more soft stools often its nothing too bad. I weighed myself today on my 5th day and I weight 199.2 so I have lost 5 lbs . I have been eating less twice a day and 2 snacks before I'd snack a lot n eat 3 to 4 full meals. I'm surprise to lose a pound a day not sure how because I don't exercise at all. I actually don't feel motivated to do anything. Its weird. Its just been about 5 days let's see how things go."


"Lo Loestrin = Acne cysts! I have always had clear skin [with the occasional break out, but nothing serious] and since switching to this pill about 12 months ago, I've had a never ending cycle of painful and ugly red blemishes. My dermatologist assessed my skin and after two minutes with me determined that I had Lo Loestrin skin. She said it is absolutely the worst for skin because of its significantly lower estrogen levels. Anyway, I just wanted to share this knowledge. I'm switching back to Yasmin."


"I'm in the middle of my second week of Contrave. The first day I had an odd feeling and a bit of nausea but water and half of a sandwich was a quick fix. I decided to move my dosage up a couple of days early to avoid any issues with weekday work hours so I increased my dosage on a Sunday. I'm glad I did. The nausea came back on the first day of my dosage increase so I treated it with water every time I had a sour feeling in my stomach. The water helped and when it didn't I would have a half of a sandwich or some soup. I started my two in the morning and one at night today. I found myself picking at my Easter dinner and refusing dessert altogether. I've lost eight pounds in 16 days without trying."


"I had a great experience using this lost 20lbs in the 3 months on it. Another positive my face cleared up so so nice!! My skin looked amazing! The first 2 weeks on it I had terrible headaches but they did go away eventually.  The only thing I really noticed is that it triggered my anxiety a little bit and caused me to bite my nails a lot!! But other than that I had a wonderful experience with it."


"This drug made me stupid and depressed. Side effects included oral-facial dyskinesis, visual impairment, and weight gain."


"Update: I've been on Fetzima 5 months. It has worked better than any of the other 30 meds I've tried. It took 4 months for my arms itching side effect to go away and soreness of my mouth's upper roof and upper gums also is gone. My heat and sweating is almost all gone. If I stay on the couch, I'd have no sweating but when I did anything such as brushing my teeth I'd get so much sweating. Normally I don't sweat. These side effects do go away, so don't give up on this drug too soon. I don't get that drugged out tired feeling from the depression anymore. I do have a little anxiety from Fetzima but it is usually when I'm in bed trying to sleep more when really I had enough sleep which is good because that keeps me from escaping into bed."


"Usually clears up any infections but does sometimes cause extreme nausea and yeast infection."


"I have been on many antidepressants and they all make me want to snack and overeat. I gained a lot of weight on all of the other antidepressants. I was so tired of gaining weight. About a year ago I started taking Trintellix and I am no longer craving snacks all day.  My depression was marked by feelings of irritibility and lots of crying. I feel 100% better. I think that this medication has worked better than any others I've tried. So relieved."


"My doctor diagnoses me with dry eye. Been using them 1 month. My eyes are worse.

From day 1, the drops burn, and make my eyes itch something terrible.  Itching stops about 15 min after each use.  These symptoms have not decreased in intensity in 30 days.

By day 4 on the drops I can't wear contacts.  Within 2 hours of putting the contacts in (daily moist contacts) my eyes are so dry the contacts either blink out or crumble into a folded mess inside my eye & get stuck under my upper eyelid.  First day of use I waited the 15 min recommended after putting the drops in, 2nd day waited an 1 hour &  3rd day waited 2 hours after the drops but nothing works."


"Amazing drug when combined with lexapro ( for my depressive side ). To say it has changed my life, saved my marriage and made me a better father is a sheer undersell of this medicine.

I'm bipolar 2 with mixed episodes (Dysphoric).  I'm no longer filled with rage over nothing,   irritable , or depressed.  It has thus far been the magic bullet for me, after trying about 6 other combinations.

It's allowing me to be present in my own life without constantly overthinking or having racing and repeating thoughts.

Having a clear mind is allowing me the freedom to be the man I always knew I was.

There's a lot of horror stories on here but just remember when you find the right medication.  Its worth it."


"A renowned medication to help PMDD, but barely helped me. Helped with my anxiety and depression quite well (despite lack of emotion), but always got hormonal monthly, which was confusing. It actually made some symptoms worse. On Lexapro now, so hopefully that helps!"


"I've tried several medications for moderate  anxiety and panic attacks. Librium has worked the most reliably. Xanax and Ativan work quickly but are too short acting. Klonopin didn't do much for me. Librium starts to take effect within about a half hour, makes me calm (not high) and keeps me calm for hours."


"I've had the implant for a little over a month and so far I love it! I've had spotting that lasted about 13 days but it beats taking a pill everyday!"


"Been taking for three weeks. It has reduced the number of hot flashes from 8-10 a day down to 2-4.  Not great results but better.  I was hoping for a occasional hot flash, bit daily.  I will continue taking the medicine for three more weeks to see if the results improve."


"I have been on Multaq for 4 years with no apparent side effects. I have been free of atrial fibrillation since. Now my new insurance has denied me use of the medicine."


"I had Implanon fitted 6 years ago after an unwanted pregnancy.  I've had no side effects until now.  My second implant is now at an end.  I only realized it was running out because in the last couple of months I've had really irregular periods so went to the doctor.  I've got to wait a week until they can remove it and put a new one in, but the stomach cramps are now really unbearable.  But I will still be having another put in since the cramps are apparently down to it running out.
Also, some confusion with the medicine Modafinil.  This site says it is not compatible.  But both my doctor and gyno say it's okay."


"I have had a negative experience with this product, it has been going on 2 weeks with this horrible cough and I have felt no relief in using Robitussin.  It does not work for me what so ever."


"This has done amazing things for me! I've been using it for four days now and it's already helping when it says that full effects wouldn't take place until a week. I'm just giving you a heads up that it burns REALLY BAD. I'm burning right now, actually. I think it's completely worth it though. I recommend this."


"I have been taking this for 3 weeks now following a librium detox, I was drinking 3 to 4 bottles of red wine each day, sometimes more. Since taking Campral 3 times a day I haven't had a drink, nor have I wanted to. I  have been out socially with others and had diet Pepsi, people have commented on how well I look, even those who didn't know that I was undertaking detox and I have lost 9 pounds in weight, this is an amazing drug, I was drinking throughout the night and day pretty continuously and I haven't craved a drop."


"So ALL my life I've struggled with confidence! I could never get in front of people , I could never be social!  The second I heard that celebrities take this stuff I just had To get my hands on some!

This is a MIRACLE PILL! I am telling you, Now I don't care about what anyone thinks of me. I really don't! It's hilarious, who would of thought a simple pill could launch my career? I am very successful now THANKS TO THIS PILL!

I know that some people think that overcoming anxiety and gaining experience is part of the challenge of being a successful business woman, or a performer BUT FORGET THAT! Why would you want to actually dedicate and commit yourself to that for years when you can take this pill and loose the stress of anxiety.
Great pill
"


"Well, it only took 33 years for me (and a good doctor), to figure out what was wrong with me. I have had unexplained tachycardia (did EKGs and no problems, although never during an episode) since about age 8-9, I've had episodes of fainting, syncope, almost fainting, fatigue, being hyper and crashing. ADD symptoms, depression, mania. I have been treated for Depression and Mania, 3 years ago, and came oh so close to a solution, but the wrong meds made it even worse. Took 2 years to recover. Until, I got a new doctor, who treated my ADD and after two failed attempts to tolerate Adderall and Ritalin, prescribed Straterra, in the first 40 minutes I tool 25mg, my ADD symptoms subsided, and ALL other symptoms have resolved."


"This is a much more potent pain relief than Demerol."


"Best thing that has ever happened to me. I suffer from anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. At first I wanted to stop taking it because the side effects were too much, as in tiredness and nausea. Once I had been taking it for a month and a half to 2 months I have no side-effects and I have a significant better quality of life. I take 100mg and I slowly increased and found it was a good spot for me. For a while I had the shakes and it bothered me but those are gone now too and I have been on it for about 5 months. With therapy and Zoloft I am a much happier and less anxious person. Keep trying and keep taking the medicine. It's worth it I promise. I am 19."


"I was given samples to last 30 days, then I went to get medication at pharmacy.  I nearly had a stroke when I heard the price.  $182 with Medicare and a supplemental insurance.  I asked what it would cost without insurance and Medicare, $636. I am going back to my Doctor for an alternative to this stuff."


"I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I have tried ambien, many over the counter meds, acupuncture, homeopathic herbs & vitamins, and several other things for my sleep issues, and they have not helped. I started taking Belsomra six months ago and it is the only thing that helps me sleep. I get 6-8 hours of sleep depending on my stress level. I found that the 15 or 20 mg works the best for me. I had some crazy dreams at first, but those died down after a while. I'm very grateful to have this med, because I would be sleeping 2-3 hours a night and feel miserable without it."


"Paxil worked every time for me. I wouldn't say it save my life bc I believe God saved my life. But let me tell you it brings you back to normal sanity. When your not obsessing bout your anxiety or depression or feeling sad, that's when you know you hit the jack pot. Anxiety and depression come out of no where and Paxil helped every times. Been on for 11 years on and off. This time round bout 4th time took longer and little stronger dose but hang on. I swear to YOU it gets amazing. Not better but GREAT. LIFE IS SO GOOD. SEEK HELP"


"I've been severely constipated this morning no matter how hard I tried I couldn't go it was just to big to get out lol.  So I took 5ml of dulcolax at 10.30am it's 1pm and I've just been to the loo thank god.  I didn't get much cramping just the urge to go I expect it will happen  soon though so plan of action stay by the loo"


"I suffer from major anxiety to the point where it feels like my chest is going to crush itself from the tension. I also have tendencies to get panic attacks at random times along with a feeling a doom and gloom ever hanging over my head. While I never reached a point of suicidal thoughts I did have weeks and sometimes months of listlessness where I didn't want do anything, see anyone, or be anywhere. I felt like nothing mattered.

After being on Wellbutrin I am happy to say these incidents haven't occurred again . Unlike other medicines I have tried in the past, this one has had zero personality effect. I feel like myself, the one who was always trying to bust out of the anxiety ridden zombie that I was."


"Loved it as a contraceptive, didn't so much love the weight gain. Didn't get pregnant so it did the job! I suffered severe ovarian cysts in the past (3 surgeries before age 17) and was on Microgynon 30/50 tablets for 4 years. Decided to opt for Implanon purely for convenience, and initially it was terrific. No side effects except weight gain. I had it from January 2014 to December 2014, had one period in that time (used to be 28 days on the dot). Absolutely fantastic, but I was slowly gaining weight despite eating the healthiest I have and going to the gym at least three times a week. Spoke to my Doc, she said I was unfortunately in the teeny tiny minority that just packed on weight. Whipped it out there and then, now back on Microgynon."


"I would definitely recommend this medication and say that is does work to treat and clear up your acne. I experienced nearly no side effects which was good as well. For maximum results I would recommended pairing it with a topical cream ( retin A, tactuopump, etc) because I found they work well together in clearing up my face! While some people have said that their skin may get worse before it gets better, within a few days of starting this medication my skin literally was all cleared up , and didn't get worse - only better. My skin stayed relatively clear throughout the month , except for a few days around my period where I would usually break out again. Then it would stay completely clear again throughout the month."


"Took pill after a weekend without BC.  Unprotected sex was on day 5,6, and 7 of my cycle.  I took the pill on day 7. I am 42 years old.  I did not get my next period until NINE weeks later.  I did not experience cramping, nausea, or headaches."


"I have been taking Apri for one month now and I absolutely love it! No side effects or weight gain or anything! It was my first pill ever taken and I'm so happy there are no complications. I recommend it to anyone! Excellent choice!"


"First of all if you don't need to take this drug, please do yourself a favor and don't start the dose. I wish I read reviews before starting the dose, as I look back antibiotics should have been sufficient for my symptoms - I only had Acute bronchitis. The problem came when I completed my dose and the withdrawal symptoms kicked in. I started shaking, couldn't see clearly, my heart started beating fast, very anxious, couldn't sleep, fell like I was literally losing it! Almost ended up in the ER, but following other reviews decided to find ways to relax and not think about what was happening: yoga, meditation, playing sleep music and that's how I managed it. My advice for you: stay away from this drug and if you're trying to get off it, do your best to relax."


"I'm 62 years old with a complicated medical history.  I have chronic pain (RSD), Diabetes and now Plaque Psoriasis (mainly scalp).  I began with Otezla starter pack increasing dose even slower than the pack.  I've never had side effects but Otezla changed that.  I had headaches, loose stool and  stomach pains.  My insurance denied paying and at $3000/month, I couldn't afford it.  I stopped for two weeks and then got more samples.  I used the starter pack dosing since I had already used Otezla.  Big mistake.  Stomach was on fire every time I ate.  Stopped again for 2 weeks and restarted very  slowly.  Doing much better and its helping.  However if insurance doesn't cover it, I have to stop.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"


"I had Skyla put in about a year ago.  The insertion was pretty awful because there were complications so it took longer than anticipated.  That was not because of the Skyla but because of my doc (which she was really great about the whole process).  I include that because I haven't had any children and have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I want anyone reading this to expect some discomfort.  Since having it my cramps have been terrible and seem to only disappear for about a week and a half or so each month.  I also still have spotting.  My periods in general are lighter but they last for 5 or 6 days now it seems.  I've also had a significant increase in hormonal breakouts, which I definitely believe to be due to the BC."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This is way too sweet.  I was nauseated after the first 8 oz and the nausea never went away.  I much preferred the plain ol' Golytely they used to use."


"I am 22 I have had the Mirena since February 2010. My son is 2 I had it put in about 5 months after he was born. My Mirena and I seem to have a love hate relationship. But when I first got the Mirena it was so painful, I cramped and spotted everyday for a months. Then all the bleeding completely stopped after 11 months. Every time I do have sex I bleed for about a week or two normally light for everyday. Also I have no sex drive, have mood swings, constipation, insomina, mild headaches and I used to have perfect clear skin and now I have mild acne, I would like to get the Mirena out because of the bad symptoms I have but it's been almost 2 years and I'm not pregnant so that's great."


"Everyone's experience WILL be different.  I have experienced anxiety all my life, but no depression.  A medium to low dose of Paxil has normalized me.  My previous extreme fear of nautiousness and throwing up has been quelled.  Ativan and Xanax are fine as a temp solution (say for flying), but Pax has provided me with a normal level of anxiety.   I give Paxil 5 stars, but only if you feel anxiety along with some OCD.  Depression, bipolar, might require something else."


"I get diarrhea all the time since I was 12 or 13. I take a lot of meds, and a lot of food I can no longer eat. This medicine works right away for me. I am now 67 yrs old. I only use it if the diarrhea lasts for more than two days."


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


"The medication was amazing. I loved how quickly it worked for my migraines. I get too many a month to use Zecuity exclusively so I saved it for the bad nausea ones. Unfortunately, the second time I used it, the patch burned a hole in my leg. When I called to report it, the company insisted it was just an allergic reaction. I literally had a chunk of skin missing and I still have a scar, several months later. The medication is great but whatever they use to push it through the skin is not good. Obviously, since it has since been recalled. Disposal of all of the materials is ridiculous. I would have driven an hour or two to the nearest speciality pharmacy to not have to deal with the delivery and packaging of the medication."


"Wash with selsun blue. I left it on for 10-60 minutes then pat the spots with apple cider vinegar. After drying, aloe vera. Great results in 5 days"


"I took magnesium glycinate for months with no problem, when I ran out of it I bought this one (magnesium oxide) because it was alot cheaper. Pretty soon I started having a weird cramp in my calves when I walked.  I stopped taking it for two weeks, no cramps. Started it again and had cramps immediately (only when walking).

So I went ahead and bought the more expensive glycinate, and sure enough I haven't had any cramps.  Weird!  But I won't take this one ever again."


"I'm 19 and have been on Depo for about 1.5 years. Yes I get moody, but I have a mood disorder so it could be that. Yes I break out but its not absolutely horrible and I kind of always have had acne. I think I may have spotted a couple of times but only for a couple of days (so far). Unsure about bone density since I haven't had a test done yet. I love not having a period or having to remember to take something more often than every 3 months. I think it's important to keep on schedule with it (none of this off and on stuff). No weight gain at all on it. Definitely no lowered sex drive. Only complaint: it can be scary not getting your period. But you can always take a test. Also remember, its different for everyone."


"My insurance is not covering Butrans patch anymore so my doctor started me on Belbeca 300mcg every 12 hours.  I was concerned about it because of the negative reviews it received about its effectiveness and adhesive not staying put in the mouth.  I suffer with fibromyalgia, and herniated discs in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions and sciatic nerve pain down to my foot.  I have not had issues with it sticking in my mouth, I place a finger inside till it sticks and one outside my check if needed.  It stays put with no issues.  It has helped my pain better than the patch and I'm taking less tramadol and zanaflex, some days I don't need it.  Past few weeks I feel my pain is controlled. I'm not waking up in pain and feel alert to work!"


"I used doxycycline (200mg) for about 19 months for my rosacea. Discontinued it about 3 wks ago. Coming off the medication is wreaking havoc on my skin. My main issue w/ rosacea was the facial redness, not acne, but the doctor never really explained that doxycycline might not help the former, and I was so desperate to find a "miracle drug" that I failed to ask the right questions or do the right research -- my fault. Now I'm dealing with acne, and it's absolutely disheartening. My cheeks   forehead look worse than ever. Not to mention weight gain and feelings of pressure in my head. I would not recommend this medication. I regret taking it. There should be a warning that discontinuing the med *WILL* result in negative effects on your skin."


"I just started taking this BC 3 weeks ago. (First time being on birth control) my period came a week ago and I'm still spotting. My cycle usually lasts for 5-6 days and it has always been irregular. But I'm not liking that my cycle length has increased. Other than that I've only had minor headaches compared to my usually intense headaches so that's a plus. And I get nausea once in a while, no vomiting though. I've decided to wait 2 more months to see if my symptoms or side effects change for the better.."


"Excellent RX. Have taken 40mg PRN for foot and ankle swelling. It shows response within 12 hours. Have had zero side effects. Will use as ordered."


"Took successfully in 2003-4 for PTSD and associated anxiety. No side effects (other than lost libido) and came off them easily under doctor's supervision.

13 years later I was put back on them due to depression and anxiety. This time they have been horrendous!

Headaches, bones in my face aching, nausea, a"creeping" feeling through my hands, arms and shoulders, disorientation, racing heart, not passing urine frequently enough and terrifying sleep problems (insomnia but feeling like you're being suffocated and having awful thoughts).

After 12 days I realised I couldn't take these symptoms any more, on advice of a doctor I ceased instantly, by Day 2 the withdrawal was awful-a more intense version of the side effects. Easing now (day 4)"


"I was a poster child for all the bad side effects of this medication.  I am now on clonazepam odt 0.25mg twice daily and feel like a human being again!"


"Had dvt in which I was prescribed warfarin for.  The constant blood tests were a nightmare as I am extremely hard to get blood from, sometimes taking more than 10 tries. The bruising from the thinners and punctures from blood tests,  I was a bruised mess. Had a PE a year later in January 2015 after being taken off warfarin that almost killed me. I was devastated to think I will  have to take warfarin for the rest of my life. The pharmacist in the hospital told me about xarelto and I was so happy. They proceeded to put me on xarelto. I am experiencing occasional headaches /migraines and I get extremely faint/dizzy while standing up. A small price to pay to be able to eat whatever I want and no constant painful blood drawing every few weeks!"


"I have been taking Avapro for 5 years and I don't like it so am looking for another drug. My GP thinks if the side effects are bearable don't change anything. I don't like the dizziness, cold feet, dry throat and tiredness it produces. It has also depleted my potassium levels and  I wonder if the arrhythmias I have been having are related to prolonged use. "


"I have been receiving Euflexa injections in my right knee after torn meniscus surgery every six months for two years with excellent results. I was walking two miles a day until I injured my left knee in a fall in November. I'm recuperating from torn meniscus surgery two weeks ago and will begin receiving Euflexa injections in that knee, too, in six months."


"This was the first pill prescribed to me in my teen years (I'm 32 now). I took them for about 3 years before iIgot off the pill altogether for about 10 years. When I got back on the pill, I was prescribed a different brand and went with it thinking how bad can it be...biggest mistake ever!!! After 8 months of suffering on the other pill, I switched back to my old, trusty Levora. What a relief!!! I experience very little, if any side effects on this pill, and it immediately started to reverse the chaos the other pill had caused my body (weight gain, bloating and severe mood swings). Thank you Levora!!"


"I've tried Testim, shots, and now Axiron and find that Testim stuck to everything and shots are good, but lose potency near the end of the cycle. Axiron is messy and I can see how two pumps can get into one's system. It leaks everywhere until it dries, however, it seems to be better than the others."


"Crazy start during 1st of holidays (Oct.) but had upper endoscopy done to help with some constriction. The extra weight was affecting my health and wellbeing so I did not want to wait to start. My doc had a trial kit to start with then I got my first month's prescription. Used insurance to absorb part of the cost and the coupon that was given by the manufacturer.  Dubious & nervous of injections, I pushed forward as possibility of better health was worth the anxiety of sticking myself. Needles are tiny & you inject into the fatty areas so you don't really feel it while sticking. There can be achiness or stinging in the injection site sometimes. Started having rash & itching at some shot sites but have lost 8 lbs. & feel like exercising now."


"Other than some vaginal dryness, which I am prone to anyway, I didn't have any side effects with Tri-Lo-Sprintec, and I'm super disappointed that you can't get it anymore.  I took it for 10 months without any trouble."


"I took a pregnancy test on November 27th  because my fiance said I was gaining weight - the result was negative. On the 29th he came in mean so I took a plan b within 16 hours... My period was due on the 12th of December it never came I was 4 days late..so on December 16 I took 5 pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant.. So did it work ?.or was I already pregnant prior to the 27th?"


"This medication is an appetite suppressant and it does just that; I have been on the medication for only a week now but so far the results are amazing; I have lost 8.4 lbs; I have never been able to lose this much weight with dieting and exercise alone; I hope the results continue; so far the only side effect has been a metallic taste in my mouth."


"I received my insert in November of 2015. My period stopped for the rest of November and December.  I didn't have any side effects.

Then comes January of 2016. Must be the new year. I don't know. But after January 1st struck...everything went downhill.  I started spotting constantly. I started getting acne around my chin. One zit goes away, 3 more appear. I started getting dizzy every time I went into the store. To the point where I stopped wanting to go to stores. I started feeling bloated and gross all the time. Gained 10 pounds which has taken 5 months to loose 6 of. And I'm talking about running 3 miles 5 days a week.

After spotting literally for almost 1/2 a year, I decided it's time to throw in the towel and get it removed :("


"My husband has had seven months of extra added quality of life following the Rivastigmine patch was prescribed back in March. Unfortunately the effect appears to have been lost over the past six weeks. I am now waiting for advice on how to discontinue the use of the patch and fear the return of confusion, restlessness, agitation due to awareness of the memory problem."


"This medication was a miracle for my OCD like I swear my intrusive thoughts had almost gone! I was able to do things that I couldn't do with OCD! Sadly I couldn't continue it as I got a really bad side affect of low blood pressure! I wasn't able to do much during this time. It was worth a try though!"


"I have been taking this pill for a little over a year and I have had a wonderful experience with it. I did not gain any weight, and didn't have any side effects. The only downside that I am experiencing currently is that I've been getting my period recently during the second week of the pill pack so my gyno recently switched me to a different brand.  Everyone reacts differently to medication but I highly recommend this pill :)"


"Took it for a month and experienced horrible side effects. Constant cramping out of nowhere, painful sex, zero sex drive, swollen, extremely tender breasts, mood swings, anger and aggression particularly,  some depression, constant fatigue, bloating, and an irregular period after years of it being regular. Had to stop taking it to get my sanity back."


"Pack and half a day smoker 30 years. 4 days in  and I'm down to half pack already. Wow it kills your craving and makes ciggs tastes nasty.  I have no quit day yet but I'll post back so far so good. No side affects maybe short temper but I think thats maybe less nicotine."


"I got this birth control back in the beginning of 2010 and at first I was scared because I thought oh gosh I haven't been getting my period but my doctor reassured me that I was one of the lucky few who stopped having a period I LOVE IT! Most effective then most for teenagers and adults that work or live fast pace lives. I would recommend it because to be honest lets face it taking the pill is very difficult if you have a hard time remembering what time to take it. This birth control just stays in your arm not even noticeable unless you touch it."


"My moods are better controlled. I feel more emotionally stable and physically calm. My husband has noticed a huge change in my moods and patterns."


"I've been on Orsythia for one year and it's been a breeze. Zero side effects -- literally zero. You will find a plethora of horrible reviews for this pill, which is actually what spurred me to write this positive one. Remember that people that are content with their pill don't always think to write a review, I didnt! I've had no acne, no weight gain, no mood swings, no pain, short and light periods, no spotting, and NO PREGNANCIES. Give it a try, everyone's bodies are different. Just because other people have had a bad experience with a medication doesnt mean it will happen to you!"


"It works pretty good. I take 200mg at a time and it takes away the pain, relieves anxiety, and makes me happy"


"I got Nexplanon inserted February 12. I had my period since January 25. I decided to try Nexplanon because the Depo Provera gave me mood swings and longer periods. I have had my period now for almost 7 weeks. I dont know if its because of the Depo or if its also the Nexplanon. I have gained 7Lbs since starting this. Its been great for birth control but that may because I havent had sex."


"Hard on the stomach."


"Today was the first day of taking the pill. I'm 5'1 -150lbs gave me a lot of energy to the point of walking and running 3 miles today! Very thirsty I must have drank 6 bottles of water today with ease.
A little insomnia tonight but, I sometimes have insomnia so it's probably me and not the pill. So far so good! I hope to check back in two weeks with my update. Working out really hard and eating right is the key! Stay motivated all!"


"I've been taking Cymbalta 30mg for almost 2 weeks now for depression and anxiety. My doctor said this is a very low dose which is why I feel only a minor improvement. Before this, I have taken Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Trazodone, Buspar, Paxil, and several others. With all of them, they either had no effect or made me feel worse. Plus their side effects ranged anywhere from inconvenient to nearly debilitating. Cymbalta is the first medicine that I haven't suffered from any side effects at all. The next time I meet with my doctor, I'm going to see if she will increase my dosage."


"It has very good for keeping me stable"


"I hate this stuff I've been taking it for 3 weeks I feel  sick all the time always sleeping and my bp is sky high I'm getting off it"


"I've been using Evra patches for just over 6 months, and my periods are perfectly regular and much lighter than they are naturally. I haven't experienced cramps, nausea or headaches and didn't before I used birth control.

However I've gained roughly 1.5 stone during use, but I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or caused by the patch. As a result my breasts are also about a cup size larger.

I always shave a square to help it adhere, I've never had one fall off, but they do tend to slide a little and the glue left behind will collect fluff. This means it's not as discreet as it should be, but this doesn't bother myself or my partner, and I can easily hide it on my butt cheeks under a bikini.

Worth mentioning this is my first birth control."


"I have tried several other birth control pills in my lifetime and none have ever done for me what Loestrin does.  I suffer from extremely heavy periods and no other pill has ever been able to help except for this one.  I get NO PERIODS on this pill.  To go from being unable to leave the house for a week to NO PERIOD AT ALL is beyond words for me.  Not only is this medicine effective for birth control, it also allows for a shorter period, or none at all!  I love this and I will never switch to anything else."


"I've used many rounds of medication to address my mild to moderate psoriasis. I have psoriasis on my arms, ears, scalp and legs. Prior to Vectical I used steroids, light treatments and sea minerals (ocean water or over the counter sprays which contain kelp or algae). Vectical has changed my life. After consistent use for a few months I've had nearly no flare ups in years. When patches start to appear I apply Vectical and they are gone in days. Only negative is the cost! No side effects, no skin thinning like with steroids."


"I am finishing my second month on this pill and am switching to a new pill. The major issues I had while taking this pill was terrible stomachaches, and extremely heavy breakthrough bleeding; however I did not experience mood swings, weight gain, or any other adverse effects."


"Horrible product, barely works. Been sneezing with a runny nose all day."


"I use to get YI all the time because of swimming in high school, my doctor would always just call me in diflucan. For some reason I tried this product and I wish I had seen the reviews prior to purchasing this.  It caused over whelming burning , and itching. I would never in my life recommend this product to anyone. It is a waste of money , time, and you will be close to losing your sanity."


"Taking this for BV, I'm on day 5 of the medication and my symptoms seem to be cleaning up. The first three days were relatively fine but yesterday and today have been horrible side effects. My whole body aches, especially my lower back, when I mean down or stretch it feels like my muscles are tearing, my hands and feet are tingly, and I'm nauseous. I honestly am going to call my doctor and see if I can get switched."


"The first week was fine then after that I started getting headaches then comes the nausea in the morning and then I throw up non stop with all that I get diarrhea and dizzyness, lack of energy and appetite I stayed in bed all day today its horrible the worst I ever took"


"RLS is horrible. My legs were jumping like an acrobat. Sometimes, during the day my legs would give out. My neurologist prescribed 25/100 - 3Xpd. It was a miracle drug. Stopped RLS immediately. But I had other problems. Body hurt all over and was stiff. Muscles were weak. My legs were heavy and it was hard to walk. However, the 25/100 fixed it all. I feel great! Have more energy and getting stronger every day. Cutting down on pain meds and at 68 I have a wonderful and new quality of life. I've only been taking it for 2 weeks and I am so thankful. I now sleep 100 percent better. The dose only works around 7-8 hours. I take it every 8 hours. I take it at 8:00pm and I wake up around 3-4:00am with symptoms starting again. Takes 30 min to work."


"It seems like every time, I go to get my injections now, after all the injections(usually 40-45). That evening, I start with the worst headache ever and keep it for ( this time - Injections were on Friday 7/15 and today is 7/20). I'll probably have to go get a shot of Depakote to kill it on 7/21.I take topomax 200 mg. A day as a preventive, but I don't know.

My doctor doesn't want to give me migraine meds., due to the fact I'm on so many medications already. Hrs worried about stroke or heart attack, because of my Bp and chronic pain meds., and leaky heart valves.

I'm just sick of headaches all the Damn time."


"I Just started this bc last week tues and I'm already feeling nauseous every so often. One day I wake up fine the next I feel real sick it has also cause me to have a loss of appetite i've vomited twice because of this is anybody else experiencing this problem?"


"Epiduo along with pill form medication worked so well for me. Made my skins extra dry and sensitive to lotion but with one month my skin was smooth. I still have the scars but it's nothig a little concealer can't cover."


"I haven't had my Mirena for as long as everyone else, but I have to say that so far everything is great! I am 22 with no kids, but I'm moving in with my long term boyfriend soon and don't want to have to constantly worry about being pregnant. I won't lie, insertion for me was horrible. The pain was pretty bad, but went away almost instantly after removal of all of the other stuff. I felt pretty bad for the rest of the day and cramped for the next few with a bit of VERY light spotting, but I haven't had any spotting in the last week and just have the occasional cramp. I have felt for the strings and it kinda freaks me out that I can feel them, but my boyfriend hasn't mentioned being able to feel them. All in all, it's much better than the pill that I was on and I'm happy with my Mirena so far!"


"I was given Provigil for my sleep disorder. Already have major depression and Provigil made it significantly worse along with effect my memory. I will need to try a different medication with fewer side effects. It did keep me awake but the severe depression wasn't worth it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This stuff will have your bottom shooting you up in the air like a NASA rocket engine. Taste like cherry salt tarts.  Certainly works!  There are several comments throughout this blog you want to heed with the upmost respect.  Whatever you do, don't laugh too hard and NEVER and I mean NEVER trust a fart!  Grab your squatty potty and at least 7 pretty thick books.  Good luck!"


"I took this in rehab, after I got there I started withdrawing. They gave me Clonidine. It worked there. Turns out the lovely nurse gave my local pharmacy a prescription to some more.  I just found out yesterday and I got it. I have been using in the past month. It would be 1 every 3 days I would use. But when I didn't use these pains would start in my lower back Bad. Now I just gotta see if it works this time. This saved my life."


"Prozac has changed my life I feel like I can enjoy small things like sitting outside and feeling the wind hit my face. I would have several panic attacks during the day and developed agoraphobia. Now with only 10 mg daily it helps, I have come off slowly with no withdrawals!"


"I just started taking Didrex 2/9/16. I've lost about 7 pounds in a week with increased energy. I did have headaches at the beginning so I decided to take 100mg Ibuprofen which helped greatly (I wasn't willing to stop without giving the medication a chance). I actually don't have to force myself to eat, I had a HUGE appetite. I still get hungry but the drug suppresses my appetite so I'm able to eat a normal sometimes less. Does a wonderful job on the sweet tooth I haven't had any chocolate which is amazing!!"


"I am twenty six years old and have suffered from significant depression since I was a child. For years I just dealt with it always going from one crisis to another. I've had a handful of suicide attempts starting from my early teens to young adult years. I would especially have trouble during the two weeks leading up to my period. Crying episodes and just an overall feeling of depression. I was put on Prozac about three years ago and it has made a world of difference. I'm happy again and able to function to my best ability, I'm focused and driven. Sometimes I forget to take it and the depression comes back. But as long as I'm taking my daily dose as prescribed, I'm great!"


"I had the nexplanon implant done June of 2015 by my np at my ob. I was roughly 5 weeks postpartum and had to choose a bc since I was nursing. Before my oregano I was on numerous kinds of bc pills for years. This is by far the first one that so far has done what it was supposed to do and no side effects. I did have a light period for a few days after the insertion but have had no period since granted I'm still tandum nursing. No side effects whatsoever. I haven't gained any weight, no headaches, no mood swings no nothing!"


"I've smoked half a pack a day for about 6 or 7 years. Started taking Zyban just over a week ago. By day 5 I no longer felt the need to smoke on my lunch breaks at work. Could make it a whole work day without a cig, I was shocked!! I've now cut down so drastically that I made today my quit date (day 9). I still think about smoking, but I don't feel the need or want to smoke at all! I recommend this to anyone who wants to quit!!"


"After 20 years of getting up every hour and a 1/2 to urinate, I am now able to sleep for 6 hours without waking. This has changed my Life."


"Received my first set of injections 3 months ago. The first week felt like a migraine was going to come, but never formulated. Botox reduced my migraines from 23 headache days per month to 6 headache days per month. I was able to decrease my oral preventative, Topamax and Depakoke (which I have several side effects from). Approximately 2.5 months in, the Botox wore off and migraines returned. Anxious to receive the next round and find some relief. It's a wonderful alternative to oral medication. Aside from some very mild soreness for a week, I have no side effects, even in my neck. It's the greatest preventative I've ever been on. Just make sure a neurologist gives you the injections."


"I'm a recovering opiate user. I'm used to the occasional constipation that comes from my addiction, but I entered a methodone recovery clinic and this is when my constipation became severe. Long story short, after almost a week and half I was miserable and needed relief fast. My mom had  Docolax and gave me THREE . I went to sleep thinking all would be ok. Only to wake up four hours later with SEVERE stomach cramps. So severe that I wake my grandmother sleeping in the next room. She so worried about me that she is actually in the bathroom with me putting cold towels on my head and back while I'm on the toilet and start throwing up in the trash can I front of me. I finally passed the stool but had diarrhea for 24 hours after after this experince"


"I have been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for a year and a half. And the first year I was not sexually active and I used only to regulate my period. (My cramps used to be so excruciating that I would have to stay home.) Not only did this pill make my period much lighter and manageable cramps, I also have had no pregnancy scares! Me and my partner are very sexually active and I have had no worries about being pregnant. Everything is always on track. Highly recommend this to any woman struggling with heavy periods companied by horrible cramps or is sexually active."


"After partying almost 30 years in a successful, trouble free life, I began taking antabuse pills a few years ago without a recovery program.  I was told about vivitrol and it interested me in quitting my prescription hydrocodone, benzo, and drinking. My 1st shot was 10 days ago and it does make your mind content. I can tell the drug is wrapped around my receptors. If I where to attempt to take a drink....it feels like I already had one. Not taking pills is no big deal either. I still take a sleep aid at night and Aleve  or Ibuprofen for anything else. I. Am now experiencing eating and sleeping like I've seen normal people do all my life.  A spiritual feeling should come along with that for those of you who are willing to make a change."


"I love this pill! I was on it for three months and only experienced short-term side effects. I had lack of natural lubrication (even when I was aroused) for the first two weeks, and slight hot flashes for the first couple of days. After my body adjusted to the new hormone, everything went back to normal and didn't experience any other side effects. I've been especially pleased with not gaining any weight.
I had to stop taking hormonal birth control for a month to get blood work done, and began taking Aviane again about a month ago. This time, I didn't experience any hot flashes, but did have the lack of lubrication for about a week. My body has, once again, adjusted to the hormones and everything has been side effect free since."


"Have had anxiety for many years, have tried numerous meds and none worked for long. Because of numerous surgeries I have a high drug tolerance and sometimes weird reactions. After taking Cymbalta for 3 years the excessive sweating just became too much, I am now on Lexapro and was using Clonazapan when an attack would start,concerned about addiction to Clonazapan my doctor suggested Buspar. I started with 7.5 twice a day did not feel much until starting the third week then 10mg 3xs a day. Did have side effects but was encouraged to wait 4wks, so glad I did. 1st time in years and I mean years, I feel like the old me, sleep through the night, no side effects. I encourage you to wait and see before you give up on it, for me well worth it."


"I`ve dealt with profound depression most of my adult life. I`ve gone the gamut of most antidepressants with varying degrees of success. Most, even the very useful, usually lose potency after a few yearsl Out of desperation, my physician prescribed a small dose of  2 mg of Abilify in conjunction with Wellbutrin. Within a few days, my energy levels skyrocketed and my mood greatly improved. Even though I`m concerned about the many side effects, I plan on staying with it while it still helps."


"I was treated with this after contracting malaria three times in East Africa. It's a fantastic drug, low or no side effects and works quickly."


"I did well on vagifem. Now on Yuvafem the itching is ridiculous. It does help the vaginitis smell but I am itching like mad!  I thought I wasn’t doing it regularly enough or too much so I tried both for a month each. Now I am calling the doctor to cancel this prescription. I can’t afford vagifem right now but THIS ISN'T WORKING.  And yeah, the pills all fall out of the applicator and don’t seem to dissolve well. Plus so much environmental waste!!"


"Did nothing at all. Took another one, nothing. Very disappointed. After reading these reviews I really thought I'd found something that would help me sleep. Only one person it didn't work for. Guess I'm number two. Typical."


"I got skyla inserted 6 months ago and it's been a nightmare since then. I'm 25 with no kids. My friend got Mirena when she was 21 and said it was amazing so I figured I'd try it. Insertion was pretty painful and i had cramps for a week. I went back and got an ultrasound to check the placement and was informed I had a irritated cyst and that it would go away..here I am 6 months later every 2 weeks I get insane cramping and a week long period. Before Skyla 3-4 day long periods and no cramps. I told myself if after 6 months im still in pain I'm getting it out. Obviously my body is not going to adjust and it's not worth the pain! I've also gained 20lbs in the first 4 months and noticed more zits, anxiety, and my hormones are crazy."


"Worked great for my back pain"


"I have taken medications for 10 years, and they have, basically, helped me cope

with depression.  Effexor is outstanding.  I take it in the morning, and it helps all day."


"I was given Topiramate for a list of conditions including Fibromyalgia,  Migraines, Weight Loss,  and tremors. I was prescribed only 25 mg 1 X a day.
As for side effects,  I have found that many foods do not taste the same including yogurt and cottage cheese. They tasted old or out dated.  I don't usually drink carbonated beverages, but those I have, tasted fine.
I had a decrease in appetite beginning the first month, but only realized it upon looking back after a weigh in at my doctors office where I had lost 20 lbs.
I had no migraine episodes during that first month, my Fibromyalgia had improved only slightly and my tremors improved also slightly.
After 6 months, I had lost a total of 30 lbs with out trying as my appetite had decreased."


"Lowered my bad LDL from 180 to 95 in 6 months, on only 20 mg daily. Only side effect is my legs get sore when I walk distances that never bothered me before. However, with a little rest, I'm ok. Pravachol is MUCH better than Lipitor, which I threw away after a week due to leg and joint pain."


"My 5 year old son was prescribed Vyvanse as his first medication after being diagnosed with ADHD-combined type and we've seen a huge difference in his attitude already. He is so polite, much calmer (but not zombied), still has his personality and is active. He's become more aware of his surroundings and how to treat others around him appropriately. I can't wait for school to start again to see how well his social relationships will improve now that he's undergoing treatment. Side effects the first few days were not nice to watch but he adjusted and is doing awesome. No insomnia or appetite loss either, and he has no complaints; it's perfect for him!"


"I began seeing positive results from Solodyn after just a few weeks. I get an occasional zit, but nothing like what I had just a few shorts months ago. Would definitely recommend!"


"I've been on saxenda for a week now started at 206lb now down to 197lb.... I'm f 5'6 and 32 years old I'm only on the first dose of 0.6ml and it's stopping all the bad cravings.... I don't have much of an appetite I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the month is going to go.... my goal is 160 lbs so hopefully this will continue to work as well as it has been"


"I have been a diabetic for 20 years now. I am on metformin 1000mg two times a day. I have also been on Lantus for the same time. A Doctor can tell you what to take but it may not be right. I was told to take 65 units at bedtime, but if I was sick or did not eat much that day I could bottom out in the AM. What I'm trying to say is you will have to find the right dose for you by checking your blood sugar on a regular basis.If your blood sugar was 350 at bedtime my lantus dose would  be 82.  I seldom take the same dose every night and I am staying in the good A1C range 22 for a 435 range will not work for me either. It's tough but you must keep a log to see what dose you gave yourself the last time and adjust it from there. Love you guy's."


"I have been on this medicine for almosy 6 years. I have not had any side effects as of yet. I am monitored by my doctor every 6 months. This medicine has changed my life I was not able to do things such as drvie or even work. Since on the meds I have been seizure free and living my life."


"I like Adderall for my ADHD a lot.  It keeps me focused and I am able to concentrate and accomplish the things that I need to get accomplished, also it helps me with my depression a lot because it makes me feel more happy and motivated."


"Seemed to work for about two 1/2 weeks, then wore off and
symptoms returned. I would of had to stop taking
anyway due to unbelievable nasal congestion. Tried to stick with it for 3 more weeks, but since I could not breath through
my nose had trouble with sleep also. Also no sperm at all.
Two weeks after stopping still some nasal congestion."


"I've never written a review before but I felt like I needed to do this.I started using Tretinoin .1% a week ago and it was really hard.The second day using the cream I had a massive breakout, like lots of pimples on my cheeks and lower cheeks.It was really hard and frustrating, make-up was not able to cover that mess. It went like that for about a week, I read about the "purging" but I was not prepared for this. I am in the middle of my second week and breakouts stopped two days ago, but my skin has transformed! My face is literally glowing and scars of the breakout of last week are here but no new pimples. I didn't have dryness in my skin since I was using twice a day Clinique's Moisture surge. Been using blue led light too. Be Patient!!"


"It has helped me out tremendous."


"I don't know what I would do without the drug requip.I reckon I never would sleep at all. I give it a 10"


"This is my 4th week of being on Savella. I am a 53 yr old female and have had FMS and CFS for 7 yrs. When I was taking 12.5mg twice daily my blood pressure was elevated and pulse was high, was agitated a lot, had chills, no nausea. Because of the elevated BP my doctor has lowered me to 6.25mg once a day for now, the pain is coming back and I am sleepy all the time. I hope I can titrate back up because this is the only thing I have ever found that helps my pain and gives me energy with no fibro fog. I am willing to do just about anything to be pain free again. Praying this is my miracle."


"I've had Skyla for about 5 months and have mixed feelings about it. The insertion wasn't that big of a deal (uncomfortable but tolerable) but it's the side effects I've been having issues with. First of all, I bled everyday for the first two months along with horrible cramps. It's gotten better since but I still spot a lot. I'm a person who has always had strong reactions to hormonal bc and I am starting to notice mood swings and an overall more sad mood than normal. I don't know if this is bc of Skyla but it probably is because it's not like me to feel like this. I also have lost about 15 pounds and know I have an ovarian cyst which I never had before. I'm considering getting it out even though it's nice to not take a daily pill."


"Maxalt does work. Usually Fioricet works but when my migraine becomes worse Fioricet doesn't do anything and Maxalt does the trick!"


"My irritable bowel syndrome started up the beginning of 2011. The first time I had it was when I was in school, first hour. I thought it was menstrual cramps, so I just waited for it to go away. When it didn't, I asked the teacher to go to the restroom. When I got back it was still sore, and I ended up in tears from the pains, and my friend had to take me to the nurse. Mom didn't know what it was, so we waited a few (agonizing) months, and when it didn't go away, mom took me to the hospital and got some blood work done. I was prescribed hyoscyamine, and it works great! I've been taking it about a year now, and I've rarely been having IBS problems. Whenever I forget to take it, though, the IBS comes back like a shovel. This medicine certainly works."


"I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with MS in March 2013. Was started on Tysabri in August 2014 as I had a relapse while I was on gilenya in June 2014. The year I was on tysabri was the most awful year in my life. I had increasing fatigue, on & off weakness in my arms and my legs. Had pain in my knees which became severe and progressive  in the last 2 months. I have been off work for 2 months now, I only walk inside the house but rarely outside, I had to stay away from all social commitments in the last 2 months."


"Believe the reviews!! I got my first shot last month. How is this legal?? I just have light brown bleeding everyday, hot flashes and night sweats every night. I can't sleep, and I keep having crazy vivid dreams - again every. single. night. I don't take any other medication and I never had crazy vivid dreams like this. Between the night sweats, vivid dreams and being anxious I probably sleep two hours a night and I have a 5 month old son who sleeps all night. I have acne and I have never had acne as a teenager or an adult. I had it slightly at the beginning of my pregnancy but it wasn't like this. I swear every bad side effect I read, I have! This has never happened with any meds before"


"Have been rock bottom down by the river, then re-started Pregabalin. IT IS AMAZING. It only took about 24 hours to notice the difference, and wow. A week later and I am nearly 100%. I knew I was anxious not depressed! It should be prescribed as a first-line choice. Previously on it for 3 yrs. I am a 59yr old housewife."
