"Have taken for two years. It's the only SSRI I could take. All the other SSRI's had terrible side-effects. It really helped with depression and anxiety. It has really helped me to sleep. There are some side effects however. It has really decreased my libido and does make you gain weight. Because of these effects I have decreased my dosage. It is a very good medicine and I would highly recommend it."


"I had horrible PMDD that lasted 2 weeks every month that translates into half of my life. During PMDD I suffered from depression, fatigue, mood swings. I was a completely different person. It interfered with my work and I was calling in sick at least every other month. I am convinced my boss thought I was faking illness because of the frequency of calling in sick and I never "sounded" sick. Anyways, thanks to Yaz my life has changed so much for the better. Sometimes I will have a little PMS mood swing but nothing like before. My energy and moods stays consistent through the month now. It is wonderful to feel back in control of my emotions. Thanks Yaz."


"Good."


"2 days, 2 pills a night. It will clean you out good, but at a cost. Burning pain and an hour of cramping later, you'd wish you never took it. It's not worth it. If you have another option do it. So far the worst pain I've ever felt."


"Has really helped me control my blood sugars."


"I have a 6 month old old & history of anxiety. Had strong baby blues post c-section; postpartum depression followed. Struggled on my own for months but upon trying to return to work fell hard into depression. Doc put me on 10mg Citalopram. Day 4 right now- can't say whether its effective yet as I know its weeks and or months before we can conclusively say. Have had strong side effects though: very sore stomach, racing heart, break into sweat, dry mouth & insomnia. I take pills at night as I was forewarned about the drowsiness. Willing to try this for longer though despite side effects which are likely short term. Ten years ago was on Zoloft and another antidepressant with poor results."


"I'm 43. Was anemic and now not. Took first dose around 5. Not chilled, no straw, swigged the whole concoction down. I didn't eat breakfast earlier today, had two things of chicken broth, and lots of water. Started out with gas, then reg. bowel movement and now waterworks are us. Started about 40 mins after drinking. Slept in this a.m. Thinking it would keep me up all night. After reading others comments I may not have needed to sleep so much. Oh well there's always FB and online euchre to occupy my late night!! Anxious to find out what they will find tomorrow but know it's all in the Lord's hands!!"


"I was prescribed this medication for borderline hypertension 140/90.  I have also had migraines with aura for years.  I have tried many medicines.  For the first 3 days, I had a headache.  After that, bam, no more migraines with auras and very few headaches.  It is incredible.  I take 2.5 mg per day.  I finally have my life back!"


"Have almost been on Safyral for a year and I love it. I used to have really heavy periods, but I know exactly when I am going to start (usually a Tuesday night to Wednesday morning) and I know I'll stop on Sunday. It's lighter. I have noticed that sometimes my bad cramps I used to have are starting to return. It has definitely kept the babies away which is the reason I went on the birth control and will continue to keep using it."


"I get the occasional painful cyst-type acne (I am in my mid 20's and this is a recent development). I have pretty sensitive dry/normal combination skin and other treatments I have tried have just made me peely and flaky.

I have been using Citrus Clear Control products for a month. At first the treatment was a little drying so I went to using it every other night and now I am applying it every night following it up with the moisturizer. My skin is DEFINITELY clearer. It is still a little irritating every once in a while but I have not had any peeling/redness. It definitely stops the cyst-type acne from coming back."


"I had fairly clear skin until I turned 25. My skin started freaking out and everyday I was waking up with a new cysts under my skin. Most of them gathered on my right cheek. I literally became a hermit for months and months because my self esteem was at an all time low. I could feel people staring at them during conversations.

My dermatologist put me on two separate antibiotics and both seemed to actually make my skin worse. At my most recent visit, my dermatologist put me on Bactrim. We both talked about how I will have to get on accutane if this didn't work.

After a week of taking Bactrim, my skin is completely clear (minus the scarring). I couldn't be more pleased. Finally feeling like myself again. :)"


"I am prone to Yeast Infections after using antibiotics.  After using antibiotics for 5 days, it popped up over night just like I expected.  Seeking immediate relief I applied some witch hazel, which  helped long enough for me to sleep through the night.  The next morning I went to my local Rite Aid and purchased Monistat 1.  The itching and burning was significantly reduced within 2 hours and cured completely within 18 hours.  For those of you reading the negative reviews, please consider that those who this product have not worked for might not have had a yeast infection but possible BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) many women who self-diagnose often think they have a YI when it is in fact BV.  As always, if you are unsure, PLEASE see a Dr!"


"11/18/14 It has now been 1 month. I would describe week 1 as heck week, no where near the normal fight, and week 2 was easy. Below is what I wrote

(Note these reviews also helped me!) I'm 60, smoked for 45 years, stopped cigarettes with Chantix, and then went to cigars about a year later. (Stupid, didn't think I would inhale) I thought it might help others by doing a monthly update. In this case it is day 9, 1 day since my stop date. I feel great, no desire to smoke. A few thoughts, but then I think about the Easy Way To Stop Smoking book. Both Chantix and the book believe the easiest way to stop is to do it nicotine free, meaning no patches, gum etc. Chantix is great for the addiction, and the book for the brainwashing. Good luck to al"


"While duavee took away my hot flashes after one month-I continued on it for one year and I started having PAINS in my upper right side. Behind my right ribs, just by the Breast area.  It continued for a few weeks before I called my doctor and she took me off the duavee
I am now on bio identical estrogen gel and progesterone.
I have been off of duavee exactly one month today. My pain is GONE. And a bonus is my blood sugars have dropped over 20 pts  i have not changed anything other than going off of the duavee
my new meds are working great after 3weeks !!  No more hot flashes.  (I did get them for 3-4 weeks until the new meds took effect."


"Wonderful."


"I was diagnosed with endometriosis about 10 months ago and although they removed it, I started to get the pain again a couple of months ago.  Instead of opting for more surgery I tried the pill even though I have anways gotten bad side-effects from hormone birth control methods. I tried Microgynon for a month, but put on about 7lbs of water retention. I then tried Yasmin and I've been on it nearly a month and I love it! I've had no cramps, my breasts are bigger (bonus for me after losing them after losing weight), I haven't put on any weight, no bloating and my skin looks clearer. LOVE IT!"


"I highly recommend over many of the other medicines that are supposed to do the same thing. Does not cause weight gain either."


"I was on this med for a little over a week. Right off it made me feel great everything was good. And I really liked it and I was happy I found something that worked. But after a week it started to make me really really  hungry I could not get rid of the hunger. So I had to stop taking it. I have a hard time to find a med. that works. I had the genetic tests done and there is a lot of meds I can't take. So it is hard to find one that works. I have ADHD and there is not much meds I can take. Vyvanse was a  question but it worked well just made me hungry. I wished it did not make me hungry. Now I hope my Doctor puts me on another ADHD med."


"I have been constipated for about a week or so now. I took 2 pills around 9:00 p.m. for the first time last night. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. with excruciating abdominal pains. I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room. I've been relieved of my constipation, but have had loose/watery diarrhea about 6 or 7 times. My stomach is still uneasy, and I am still experiencing watery/loose diarrhea at 1:45 p.m. It has done it's job, but next time I will be taking just one."


"Negatives of this pill:
Rapid weight gain (I gained 30 pounds and my diet was the same as it has always been and prior to birth control pills I've never had problems with weight gain)
While I already suffer from anxiety and depression, taking this pill had doubled that. Almost everyday I felt depressed and angry and sad. I've had so many breakdowns it was tiring. Now that I am off it for a couple of weeks, I feel much more calmness and peace of mind. There's no doubt that the hormones in this pill had something to do with it.
Do not take this back to back (skipping inactive week) when I did this my legs swelled up and hurt, and I couldn't stand for long periods of time and also had constant spotting and cramps.
Always had breast tenderness"


"This is my first time ever having a YI and I wasn't so sure what to do so of course I asked my mom and we went to the store. Sadly they were all out of the 7 day and I used the 3 day. HOLY HELL. I felt like my vagina was ripping itself apart it BURNS and itches so bad and nothing seems to help! This stuff is WORSE than the pain of the YI. I'm on day two and I'm seriously considering not finishing the treatment. This is insane. Unbearable and not worth it. Warm Apple Cider Vinegar & water soaks are so much better!!"


"I first got put on birth control in 2012 due to ovarian cysts. I tried 5 types in the past that didn't work for me. They either made me depressed, induced anxiety, headaches, acne, etc. I was Aviane for roughly a year, it had the least amount of side effects, but stopped in 2014 because of weight gain & anxiety. Now 3 years later, I'm trying Sprintec to avoid getting pregnant.This is my first week and so far so good. None of the side effects I had with the others. The first few days I was really nauseous, had a headache the 1st day, and I still don't have a strong appetite. I've actually lost 5 pounds so I don't mind though. And my boobs look great. :) Will update more when I continue with this pill for longer."


"Myrbetric caused me to have a Urinary Tract Infection. I thought I had the flu; by the time I realized I needed help I was septic and developed atrial fibrillation. Now I am on blood thinners to avoid a stroke and my OAB is worse than ever, practically ruining my life. I had to leave a family wedding to avoid a major malfunction; it is threatening my employment and my ability to do my job. I am terrified of accidents and must take extra clothes with me, even on a trip to the grocery store. It is embarrassing.  My doctor had provided me with free samples and I was taking those when it worked great for about 10 weeks, then stopped working; about 3 weeks later I was hospitalized with the UTI, septicemia & AFIB with a heart rate 180 bpm."


"I have been on this pill for about a year now and I just cannot deal with it anymore! I used to be so happy but lately I'm a different person, someone who is not nice. At first I thought just I hadn't gotten used to it yet but as more time has went on I am hateful, severely depressed, nauseated, very tired, and constantly just an unhappy person. It has effected my relationships with everyone and the next chance I get I'm switching to something else. I'm not saying it will do this to everyone but I know it has been awful for me. One thing it had done is what it was supposed to do, it kept me from getting pregnant."


"I have been on Yaz for five years now and LOVE it.  I've had no issues and it kept the major cramps, acne, and babies away.  I started at 16 and am now 21.  I actually have to switch because I've been having breakthrough bleeding a lot, but this is the first time in five years I've had to deal with it.  Might just be from my hormones changing with getting older.  I'm very sad I'll be leaving Yaz and will be sure to return to it if this next one doesn't work. It's treated me great!"


"I started 850mg Metformin twice per day for PCOS and at first it made me nauseated for about 1 week or so and then the nausea  stopped. I feel better now after being on it for aprox. 4 month's. I have more alertness and I'm not in so much pain with my ovary like I use to be. I still have pains time to time but not daily like before. I do not get bathroom problems and I've always been on the bigger side."


"Testosterone Cypionate - Lost ability to recover from workouts, experiencing tiredness, and loss of libido in mid-40s.  Doctor tested testosterone level, which was only 180.  Began injections every 3 weeks and my outlook on life changed almost immediately."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Not bad at all!! I've had drinks at the bar that tasted worse. Very easy to take and very comfortable results. Vaseline applied and comfortable clothes worn. I felt wonderful from the first BM!

"


"This pill has literally saved my life. I use to have dreams that would cause me to relive my traumas and I won't even describe my experience from there but it was as bad as if was happening again. Now I sleep in peace. I have taken this miracle pill for over 10 years now and it has worked. I also sometimes take a pill to actually help me fall asleep but that is a different problem and one that I have dealt with my entire life. Good luck to all of us who suffer with PTSD. The best advice I have is, stay away from alcohol, it does not help, it just appears to. It is really just the devil in disguise."


"Adipex-P worked for me.  I lost the weight and I'm keeping it off.  I haven't become resistant to the medicine at all.  The generic brand is different - I had a headache and dry mouth.  The name brand - no problems.  I'm continuing to take it under the supervision of my doctor.  I have no side effects, I feel good and I'm at a good weight.  I exercise and stay on a low carb/high protein diet.  This medicine rescued me from the weight loss merry-go-round."


"This is an evil little pill!  The first time I took it, I became very irritable.  The second day, I was so angry that I screamed at my children for the smallest things.  The third day, I start to itch all over and got a headache.  The fourth day, I was so volatile that I screamed at anyone who dared look at me.  I called my doctor who told me to push through.  The anger became so bad, that I thought I was going to hurt someone.  I've never reacted like that to any medication and quite frankly, it scared me and my family.

As soon as I went off of it, didn't even wean myself off, my mood started to even out some."


"Had it for a year and a bit. Gained weight. Stopped it 8 months ago and get my period twice a month! Painful ones too"


"I'm a 32 y/o male. Ive been taking cyclosporine for about a week now and its let me keep my own platelets without any transfusions. The only side effects I've had so far is headaches and some abdominal pain. I have an Autoimmune disease called ITP which attacks my platelets."


"I had been smoking for 9 years. I was extremely skeptical of ever quitting. My main problems were when I tried to go cold turkey my fuse became super short and I would have panic attacks but this inhaler has helped tremendously. I have been smoke free for 7 months now and I do need to say it has been the hardest thing I have ever accomplished."


"I have been on Duragesic since Aug 2001 and went from being bedridden 5 of 7 days. Now I'm not bedridden anymore. Still suffer from IBS and have pain on scale of 4-6 out of 10 but its pain that I have lived to tolerate. It's the only medicine that has worked for me long term."


"Only took the first round 3 wks of morning and night. I didn't know that was only step1!  Found out watching commercial its 3 months treatment.  I'm glad I quit. Chantix worked with no cravings,couldn't believe it."


"My grandmother was given this in the hospital for anorexia and nausea.  She began having tremors after the first dose. It was discontinued, and we are on the second full day post discontinuation, and she is still shaking, severe hallucinations, and mental status changes. "


"I have struggled with Hemorrhoids and what I think is Irritable Bowl Syndrome for years. I noticed that Metamucil helped but never got myself to use it on a daily basis. Finally started using it religiously half a teaspoon in the morning and half in the evening. I got back my life is all I have to say."


"EXTREMELY blessed to have insurance coverage for this medicine. I have Multiple Sclerosis and am 29 years old. I have been sick for about 3 years now, which was about 6 months after the birth of my first and only child. My prior conditions are mostly autoimmune, ranging from Cardiomyopathy to Crohn's Disease. My disabilities from Multiple Sclerosis include right leg/foot drop or weakness, numbness, urinary issues, balance issues, SEVERE nerve pain, etc. I have been on Rebif for a month and have titrated up to the highest level of 44mcg. I have extreme fatigue, bruising at injection site, and flu like symptoms, but I have noticed the longer I have been on it, the better my worst days are. So I am praying this will work."


"I was diagnosed with neuro sarcosis. I was in so much pain until I started this medicine. I have taken it for 6 years now and I take 2400mg a day in 3 doses. I like so many others who have commented can feel the pain coming back about 30mins before my next dose. I would not be functional without it. As time has gone on I have noticed more forgetfulness but can blame it all on the medicine."


"I got my nexplanon implant on 12/31/14. Today is 7/24/15. My first to "periods" we're super short and super light. Then on the 3rd period I got (what I like to call) "self destructive uterus and razor blade nipple" syndrome. The worst cramps of my life. It hurt and bled like someone was performing major surgery with a spoon inside of my uterus. I bled THROUGH 3 super plus tampons each day for 3 days, the period continued for a total of 9 days, took 2 days off and then I had a week long spotty-period. Just to have 1 week off, then start the process all over again. I'm currently going through my 4th "cycle" of this nonsense. Also, I'm extremely active (have trained for and completed 2 half marathons in the past 8 months) and gained 30 lbs."


"I am on Lexapro for my anxiety and depression. I am on 10mg at first and it helps me to decrease my anxiety. Now I am on 15mg and there seems to be no effect ! I am really confuessed  now! Because the medication is making me gain weight and my heart feels weird"


"I have found out how great this medicine does work for my condition, since I was out of it for about 8 days.  Every time it comes to renew my prescription, I have a hassle with my insurance company wanting to approve payment for having to take 2 40MG tablets a day.  Then, the pharmacy didn't have the amount prescribed after getting the insurance approval with the insistence of my doctor, but finally gave me a small amount yesterday until the full amount of my prescription can be met.  While without the medicine, I experienced the nausea effects in the evening/night and some minor acid-reflux issues and burning in the chest.  By the 5th day of being totally without any medicine for this, the acid-reflux/GERD issues returned full blown."


"I've been using the depo shot on and off for about 5 years now. I got off it a few years ago due to the increase in weight gain that I got. so I switched to the pill. after a while I decided to go back onto the depo shot. in February 2016, I received my first dosage and everything was fine. near the end of April I began to get my period again, just figuring I needed to go back in for my next injection. after I got my second dose, my period has not gone away since APRIL. I have been bleeding for over 3 months now and I just cannot deal with it anymore. my doctor won't do anything about it besides tell me to wait out the three months for the depo to leave my system. well here I am... 3 months later and bleeding heavier than ever."


"Wow!  This stuff worked immediately. No side effects."


"Found this medication to be non-effective; lost a few pounds at first ; but at full dosage, the medication made me so nauseous and then ended up to be non-effective at all, didn't lose any additional weight."


"I have been taking Pristiq 200mg for over 2 years and it has worked well for me. I have tried a number of SSRIs and this has been the best but isn't perfect. If I forget to take my tablets at breakfast time by mid afternoon I feel very nauseous, lose balance and feel tired. Routine is important with these tablets. Side effects for me include, some sexual performance issues, some weight gain and poor short term memory. I have had problems with generic versions of pristiq so stick to the real stuff now."


"I really like it. I never had bipolar disorder, which I know that's what lamotrigine is primarily for, but it really helped me with depression and there were no side effects at all. It's helped me relax and enjoy life more. I'd highly recommend it."


"Please don't get on this bc . I've been on it for 4 years. It's made my life hard work and now after I've been off of it since March. I'm now bleeding out of control at times. It's like its never going to end. I don't know what to do. I wish I  would've done some research before getting this birth control. I'm embarrassed at times and becoming stressed out . What can I do to slower or maybe even stop this bleeding?"


"I had an external ear infection for almost 18 days, on my first check up the doctor prescribed Clindamycin, but that didn't work on me. About 2 weeks later i still have no signs off healing through Clindamycin, I decided to be checked-up again with different doctor (ENT) & I was diagnosed with Chondritis. He prescribed Augmentin 625mg, 3x a day, every 8hrs. and Inoflox, which is also an antibiotic for twice a day. I experienced side effects such as diarrhea that lasted only on 2nd day. I just realized  that this side effect are temporary. Now i am on my 4th day on these antibiotics, i can say that im healing and my ear forms back again to its normal size."


"I have been battling chronic constipation for a year. I eat a healthy diet of fruit/veggies/whole grains and some lean meats along with exercise - however, the problem seemed to come out of nowhere. In any event, I tried stimulant laxatives and stool softeners and nothing moving for me. I was prescribed this medicine after many scans/tests with no explanation for my ongoing problem. It seemed to make my stomach "churn" but nothing else. I was so disappointed.

After this experience, I tried magnesium citrate and it WORKED (after a few bottles). After I COMPLETELY cleaned myself out, I started in again with my Linzess (at the highest dose). It now works perfectly! I'm amazed! I have a normal, healthy BM after every single meal."


"I was prescribed this medicine about a year and a half ago to get over a stomach bug. Then, when I got Clostridium Difficile a year ago, I asked for this medicine again. I have an undetermined stomach condition that I've had since I can remember. It makes me feel nauseous often. My doctor gave me a refillable prescription of Promethazine. Every single time I take promethazine, my nausea is gone in 40 minutes or less! It has been wonderful for me. It does make me sleepy, but its worth it for me if it stops the nausea. I take 1/2 of a 25mg tablet if I'm feeling only somewhat bad, 1 tablet if I'm feeling bad, and rarely two tablets if I feel extremely bad. It is the only thing I've tried that always works completely without fail. I love it!"


"I was taking ativan from a friend for my slight anxiety issue. It was 1mg I stopped it for two weeks started getting weird feelings in my head. Then had panic attack for the first time. Turns out I'm addicted to the ativan. My doctor gave me .5 ativan didn't stop the attacks and couldn't function right. I had to take a full 1 mg to function. When ever I don't take it I get a panic attack. Well my PcP gave me buspar and been doing better. I been on it two days he wants me to take 15 mg four times a day but that's too much I take 7.5 and feel normal. Taking a full 15 mg is a no no. But at the right dosage it works. Hopefully soon to kick the ativan out. Of missed worked because of this ativan problem. I don't suggest taking any benzodiazepines."


"Hi I was having  difficulty swallowing solids and heartburn  was on nexus for 2 1/2 weeks and my symptoms were actually getting worse ...2 days on dexilant 60(mg) and I feel like a miracle has happened ...dexilant is like a miracle pill!!!"


"I have been taking this less than a month and my acne has gotten significantly worse.  The amount of acne has tripled since I stared using this product. Don't waste your money, this does not work!"


"Causes abdominal pain and un-coordination. I usually tolerate medicines well, but not Avelox. I'm on 4th day of usage and can't wait till the last dose. Good luck and get well everyone."


"For me it has worked great. At first when I felt a panic attack coming on I took .5mg as soon as I felt it coming on and within 5-10 min I felt incredibly better. After about 3-4 months I was up to 1mg daily at most. It seemed to lose effectiveness after about 5 months so my Dr has tried other medications and weened me off the klonopin. After several months of trial and error (Guinea-pigging) I asked the Dr to put me back on the klonopin and it has since worked great again. Ive been back on it for about a month now. Hope it continues to work. I rated a 9/10 only because it lost effectiveness for awhile."


"I was hoping it would help with acne and birth control but I have gained 6 pounds in 2 weeks and acne is WORSE and no sex drive. "


"I have endometriosis and adenomyosis and pain was scary and I became bedridden some of the days.I had my first Lupron 11.25 mg on June 2016.I am suffering following side effects but I will continue this medication as pain from endo and adeno is worse then side effects.
- Swelling at feet
- Weight gain - 6kg in 6 months
- Increased sweating
- Hot flash suffered only first month of this treatment
- Fluid retention
- Carpal tunnel
- Forgetful
- Growth of upper lip hair
- Slipped disc and compress of the right leg nerves

I am going to take second injection soon and after that I will go for Hysterectomy. Btw I am just 36:(."


"I am a 50 year old woman who started menopause around 37. I've been prescribed this cream and did well on it, but if I stop taking it, I tend to go back to having vaginal dryness. My main concern is that I've never been bigger than a size 8 and now I can hardly fit into a 10. I think it's caused weight gain and if I stop taking it, the weight does not go away. Has anyone else experienced this? "


"Worst experience ever. Acne on my face and back which I never had before. Emotions every where. I have gained 25lb in a year of having it and I work out 2-3 days a week doing kick boxing and cross fit which I never worked out before this year and I keep gaining. I have gone up 3 pant sizes. I'm getting this terrible device out of me next month."


"I've been on 75mg, 2x/day for 2 months. Difference is night and day! I have RA, nerve damage form a pretty bad accident, herniated discs and vein's are dying. I'm a mess. Tried everything, but Lyrica has been the one that worked. Not completely, but they may bump up the dosage, I'm told. Trying for 2 more months til I see my GP again. Lucky my insurance pays- otherwise I'd never be able to afford it."


"The Neuro Dr started the treatment of my Writers cramp  with Propranolol. It didn't help and my heartbeat went faster instead.
I was switched to Benzyhexol (Bz). After taking just 2x5mg I'd loose control of my legs. I am 48yrs I was often disoriented after taking Bz. My Writer Cramp condition remained same still.
 About 3mths ago, my drug was changed to Primidone 125mg twice a day. Worked great I could write legible once again. But after 3/4wks my writing deteriorated. Dose was increase to 250mg twice a day but still no improvement after 45 days of increasing dosage. I had to stop because I was having problem ejaculating.
After 10 days, I resumed use yesterday 250mg only @ night. In 24hrs noticed great improvements. My plan is to take 250mg/wk.
I'll update in a month."


"I was in an accident 3 months ago. I had extreme pain and finally I found a doctor who listened to me. After my accident and my lower buttocks legs and heels I could hardly move not including all the neck problems I had the first wee.k I felt some flu symptoms however one day I woke up and I have to say it made me 75% better I just got increased from 30 to 60 it seems like I might have some of the side effects. I first had my body a little flu like feeling, in my mind a little foggy, however if you're really taking this for nerve pain I would suggest this to anyone it has helped me more than anything. Starting next month I'm going to wean off of the narcotic pain pill I've taken 3 months all the bad reviews on most scared me from me but I tried"


"I have had back pain for many years and percocet has helped but has grown weeker over the years. I've asked for a higher dose but no. The Dr are afraid of treating their patients according due to being put under the radar.. But I say! If you're treating the symptoms and the patient why do you have to worry?"


"Had symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, then a stone popped out. Had both Rapaflo and Flomax on hand, so I took the Flomax. Great within hours and for the first few weeks, then start with blood pressure issues. I also take Avapro as a preventative to blown kidneys from being diabetic, so they can BOTH lower blood pressure, which it seems all of these medicines CAN do. Not sure if I have a full blown case of BPH, OR a moving stone, as it comes and goes on its own, and I never have night up and down issues. Mine is what seems like unable to fully empty, full bladder, and then, drip, drip, drip, drip. Flomax works within hours on me, but long term has problems with the fast pulse. Thinking of trying Rapaflo instead of Flomax when it flares up."


"I had started out n ortho tri cyclen, but due to costs, I switched to this brand. Started out great, until this last pack. I became a little less inconsolable, moody, aggravated. Then began the leg cramps. They weren't that bad at first, but continued to get worse. As I was getting those, I also became familiar with sudden, and harsh migraines that nothing seemed to help. Possibly had vision changes, but can't completely blame that on the medication because I wear glasses (should be wearing)  I started great, ended horribly (3 Pack duration)"


"Worked very well at the start, but after 1 month I was back in Atrial Flutter. Had no side effects at all. Now Doctor is putting me on Flecainide."


"Results were astonishing, slight facial flushing the only side effect noted. Also, seems to have helped with lower leg cramping, due to back surgery-nerve damage. No more cramping with ejaculation. Have had difficulty for 5-6 years, but not anymore, and my wife is even more impressed than I am. Thanks..(retired R.N.)"


"The condom ripped on Aug 16th but he did not finish inside of me. The chance of getting pregnant from pre-cum is much less than the chance of getting pregnant from semen, but it still might be possible, so to be safe I got plan b one step. My period tracker had estimated I was to ovulate the 17th. I had taken the pill 16 hours after sex. I did experience nausea, lower stomach pain, dizziness and tiredness but it was nothing too extreme. I was expected to get my period Aug 31st and I got my period yesterday, Aug 22nd! A week early! My cramps are worse than usual but nothing I can't hadle! Better than being 16 and pregnant! Take the pill ASAP and let it do its thing. DONT stress girls. Be positive and keep yourself busy!!(:"


"Wish I could have given this a -10. This "medication" is absolute torture. So much worse than my YI. 3 weeks ago I broke my leg, dislocated my ankle and had surgery to put in a plate and 8 screws. Didn't cry, the pain was bearable. An hour after inserting the capsule I was crying like a baby. Desperately trying to fish out as much cream as possible. I took 3 Benadryl and numbed it with ice and called the emergency nurse line. Will NEVER use this product again."


"Ativan is great for anxiety flare-ups; especially when breathing or alternative methods won't cut it. However, certain manufacturers make their pills slightly differently and some seem to be more sedating and then I feel out of it. I wish there wasn't a price war for the least expensive medication so the pharmacy would stick to one brand. Even the generic isn't working to control my anxiety right now. When my pharmacy carries the right brand, it works perfectly for those fear and flee moments that I can't get under control."


"Did not help blood pressure at all.  Made pulse go high-106 at one point.  Went back to Cozaar."


"Was peeing like crazy, approximately every 10 minutes. Decided to see my doctor, she prescribed Macrobid and within a day I can already notice results! I do feel a little queasy after taking this pill but more food always helps. This is the best thing ever! I now don't have to worry if my Co-workers would notice my frequent trips to the washroom, and I don't hurt anymore."


"I stopped taking Savella during the 2nd week of the titration package.  I didn't feel any pain relief; maybe if taken longer term I would have.  I experienced many of the side effects others have discussed, including bloating, weight gain, anxiety, and dizziness.

I stopped taking Savella because I experienced a severe panic attack followed by weird heart beats, twitching muscles, electricity zaps, and vertigo. This is how a Serotonin Syndrome began for me 1 1/2 months ago for which I was hospitalized.

Perhaps I am at greater risk for Serotonin Syndrome, having had it before. Still, I caution you to be careful if you are on other serotonin medicines, and Imitrex. Savella will augment the serotonin effects and may leave you very sick."


"I'm 21 and recently started taking VESIcare, at first it was 10mg but i literally could not poop i would go 2-3 days without pooping and had severe heartburn. My doctor lowered it to 5mg and it helps a bit with the urinating but i do notice in situations where i'm stressed it doesn't seem to work as well but when i'm relaxed its perfectly fine. Also, with the 5mg i'm still having constipation and only poop about every other day and i'm still having bad heartburn every few weeks or so. I'm not sure if i want to stick with this medication or not because i should not be having this bad of heartburn at 21."


"I have been on belviq for a month now.  I have lost a total of 13 lbs with no side effects other than dry mouth.  And I look at that as a good thing because that only forces me to drink more water.  I have never been a big water drinker... or drinker of anything for that matter.  I truly believe my weight loss would be greater if it weren't for my job.  I work a 14 on 14 off schedule in the oilfield.  I sit behind a computer for 12 hours a day.  I tend to lose very little weight while at work because I don't move a whole lot.  During my 14 days at home it drops quite fast because I don't stop.  I find belviq gives me the drive to move.  I also don't have much of an appetite on it.  And when I do eat I am eating half of what I used to eat."


"I've been on new medicine Brintellix for 12 weeks now. I have Manic Disorder, so I have been on every medicine you can imagine since 8th grade. It's sad, I'm 22yrs & still breakdown in public. It was difficult for me at first since my depression left me motionless & incapable to think or feel. I was given 10mg a day but took 20mg, I know I wasn't supposed to do without telling my Dr. (4 Day) able to move & think somewhat. (6 day) move & critical think. I'm not saying this medicine is magic but at least I can function. Kind of in-between with no real highs or lows emotion. Notice I get serious nausea to the point of vomit on 10 day haven't gone away. I also take Prozac and Zyprexa. Don't think I'll ever be normal but as long as I'm not suicidal it will get be better."


"I am on 320mg 3 times a day. I find that they soften my headache but I still suffer a few headaches weekly.(no where near how many I suffer without verapamil). My ankles have now decided to balloon up daily now so I need to re think my treatment and may have to try something else as I'm not aloud a higher dose either."


"I have been using the OTC differin since maybe Feb. It's been so long. Maybe about 3-4 months. Some spots like around my nose and forehead would get clear for like a day but then I keep having these massive breakouts. Really huge cystic acne on my forehead and the worse around my chin and jawline. It is much worse than when I started using this medication. I have always had hormonal acne. I'm 34 now. In teen/college years you name it I used it, except accutane. I had clear skin for about 8 months of my life. I was seeing a dermatologist and was on spiro and a retinoid. I moved states and trying to avoid the costly Dr visits but I give up, nothing OTC seems to help. After 3-4 months and now tons of scarring from it, this is back like college"


"Best antibiotic I've used. I've never had a problem. And it always get rid of the problem."


"I am not sure yet if it working, but from a scale of 1 to 10, I would have to say "8". I have back pain, stress, and anxiety. If this is a cure all for all with out having to resort to Vicodin, bring it on."


"I am 58 years old and my T level was 78. I have enlarged breasts, no energy, increased belly fat, and low libido. After my first shot I feel like I was 25 again, and my libido is STRONG. I had to ask my doctor to check my T levels at first and he was shocked! I believe mine was caused by opioid use for nerve pain. Also, have your doctor check your estrogen levels at the same time."


"This drug is awful. My Dr. took me off my klonopin because she was worried about addictive behavior.   This drug i only took ! time and will not take again. It made me very dizzy, sick to my stomach, my hear was racing. It basically gave me the worst panic attack I've ever had. Odd since this is supposed to be for anxiety. I understand the risk with taking benzos but it the only thing that has ever helped me. I would recomend never taking buspar."


"Monday I drank this and it works fine. Love it. Tastes good"


"Very effective in the purpose. My weight gain since the implant (April 2015) until now which is 6 months later is almost 20 pounds. I like not having cycles and painful cramps. But the weight gain I could not take. Just had it removed yesterday so I can work on getting the weight back off.  Good luck to all that have the implant."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"Best prenatal vitamin hands down. I had an high risk pregnancy. Both traits of mother which can cause you to miscarry or have an disabled child. While pregnant makes your blood thick so I also had to take one baby aspirin a day. This prenatal kept me healthy and I also had a healthy baby boy! I'm still on the vitamin for breastfeeding and its THE best does EVERYTHING it states."


"No noticeable side effects."


"I've been on Tri-Previfem going on my fourth month. I have noticed an increase in breast size, extra water weight, tenderness in breast along with nausea and headaches. It doesn't seem to be cooperating with my body, but I haven't gotten pregnant, which is good. I don't get pimples as much as I used to, and I'm more emotional. This is my first time on birth control, and I am not satisfied with it. I will be going back to my doctor for a change."


"I was on depo provera but I had such horrible side effects I couldn't handle it. I wanted a normal period again so I ended up starting levora to help regulate things and as my new form of birth control. Levora should have been my first choice. It corrected all of the issues the depo shot left me with and I couldn't be happier. The only side effect I have is sore breasts. That's it! No spotting, no mood swings, no weight gain! If you're having trouble finding a birth control that works for you I'd say try levora. Everyone is different and what works for some might not work for others but I think it's definitely worth a shot."


"My son experienced adverse reaction the morning after 1st dose (1 spray per nostril ) he complained of headache I thought was just because of his colds, he coughed more frequently and late in the afternoon he has low grade fever then he complained his legs ache, I relate all these with different things like another cold, too much playing , then I read the drug info thats when I had a hunch, so after second spray I observed his reaction on the first 2 hours , then the coughing happened again .I will stop the spray now and find a way to talk to the doctor tomorrow. I gave him Benadryl syrup and nebulize him with salbutamol . His usual treatment during attacks.
.."


"I've had this condition since I was 12. It's now been 25 years. This is one of the better medications I've tried and the last one on the list to try. It seems to be helping with mobility."


"I have been on Tri Sprintec for almost 2 years now.  I have not had any of the mood swings or nausea, but every now and again I do get a weird odor.  I have considered changing to a different pill, but the low cost is a huge plus to me right now.  I asked my husband if he's noticed any odor, but he hasn't.  LOL or so he says....  I am overall happy with the product though."


"When my son has difficulty breathing from stridor associated with croup, this drug works wonders. He starts to feel relief immediately and doesn't get these symptoms for a couple of months afterwards."


"I had the worst side-effect from this medication.  I was originally prescribed it about a year ago for insomnia related to my Bipolar 2.  It worked to get me to sleep, but eventually I started to have enormous amounts to rectal pain, so I went off of it when I stopped cycling.  I was put on it again this year when my cycling started again, and I again had the same pain.   It was absolutely awful.  So I am off of it now and never want to be put on it again."


"This is my second day on Prozac to treat my post traumatic stress disorder. I've had a little trouble sleeping, some dry mouth, and a definite drop in libido. But you know what? I will take these any day over screaming at my family like a lunatic and feeling completely out of control. These 2 days have been uneventful in that regard and I give my thanks to Prozac."


"I was 1st diagnosed w/hyperparathyroidism.The dr. said it wasn't bad to just watch it.After a couple of years it got worse-I saw another dr. & he did 6 biopsy's-found that I had Papillary Cancer-following mo. I had my thyroid & 2 parathyroids removed-surgeon put me on 100mcg of generic Synthroid-seemed to be doing ok until I had the RAI, twice, then everything messed up. I was still having hair loss, ears ringing, teeth getting bad, bathroom habits were never the same, cramps, affected my salivary glands permanently so I'm dry all the time plus I've put on 25 lbs. I eat, I don't eat, it doesn't matter, the weight will not come off.The Endo dr. changed my dosage to 112mcg & I seemed to be doing better.I am back to 100mcg w/previous symptoms."


"Started Lo to manage Perimenopause symptoms. At first it made me bleed a lot, gave me terrible cramps and made me cry for two days straight. About one month in my peri symptoms got much better! I feel like myself again. And as of right now I do not have negative side effects."


"Lexapro has truly changed my life. I take it for Anxiety. I used to have anxiety everyday very bad. My heart would beat fast, and I would get butterflies in my stomach. Before I started taking it, I was very timid. Very shy and not good around big groups of people. I felt "socially awkward" ...After a few months of taking Lexapro I became so much more confident. I do well in big crowds. The only reason I did not give it 10 stars is because sometimes I do still get anxiety, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I def recommend this drug for anyone who has anxiety. Give it a try. It could change your life like it changed mine.1 other thing I don't like is it does make me a little drowsy no matter what time of the day or night I take it"


"I started taking this for extremely painful cramps and heavy periods. The ONLY positive effect I've experienced is that my periods are regular and last 4 days instead of 7. I still need heavy doses of pain medicine for 2-3 of those days to even tolerate my cramps (which of course wrecks my digestive system.) I'm significantly more moody and emotional. I've gained about 25 pounds on this pill, even though I eat healthier and exercise more than I did before starting it. I suddenly had terrible acne which lasted for the first 6 months and it eventually cleared up again. My sex drive has also been much, much lower. This pill was my only option because it is chewable and I can't swallow pills. If you don't have to take this medicine then don't."


"I have had ear infections on and off for years and Bactrim is the only medication that cures them."


"I've had depression for years (runs in family). I was on Prozac (didn't do much) then switched to Zoloft. After a while on Zoloft I noticed that I felt like a zombie, almost devoid of emotion but prone to rage at times. I switched to Lexapro and it was as if a light had been turned on. Wow! I had energy and positive thoughts again plus MOTIVATION, which had been completely lacking on Zoloft and Prozac. I did have headaches but started taking the pill at night which worked. I would stay on Lexapro and give it a 10 rating, however lately I've felt quite jumpy and nervous. Sometimes I feel a little anxious but not bad. I'm going to now try Celexa, which is supposed to be much like Lexapro but with less anxiety."


"I had the nexplanon implant inserted in June 2017, it is now October 2017 And it has not met any of my expectations! I have gained 15lbs since it was inserted and I have not stopped bleeding since! It’s not like a period, it’s very light and comes and goes throughout the day. But still very annoying! Everyone keeps telling me to wait it out, and it will get better but how long should I wait? My skin is the worst it’s ever been, I’ve suffered from acne since I was young and it was finally clearing up with the right skin care routine! Now it is worse than ever and I cannot get it under control! I cannot say whether I recommend this type of birth control for anyone simply because everyone reacts differently to different drugs."


"My youngest brother has suffered with Schizophrenia for around twenty years & we have also tried him on many meds - some good, some not so good. The main problem is the anguish etc. he undergoes each time he has to be "weaned" off one med & put on another. This is because after a while they all lose their effect & periodically need changing - not so with Clozaril. After being on it for five years, he is still stable, although a recent lessening of his regular dose is causing some anxiety. We hope to have the dosage resumed as previous, but see no need at this time to change him from this excellent medication."


"Dr advised taking Boniva,,,,,,,,,,I was so happy that there would be a cure so I wouldn't be bent up like my mother is.
However, upon investigation, Boniva works by not letting the dead used up bone from naturally shedding.  See you get good bone around the dead brittle bone......yes you guessed it when you have your scan the density includes this.  Thats why on the leaflet it still warns of brittle bones.
I have stopped taking it.
I also got pains and all my joints started clicking.....is that normal?"


"I took Bactrim for a kidney and bladder infection. I used to not have any issues with the medication but now for some reason it makes me so sleepy I'm sleeping 90% of the time on it. I refuse to take it an more because I need to be able to function and with this med for some reason now I can't function right."


"So far so good. Love the extended delivery system. I am taking 54, does not last as long as they claim.  I am 46 just started with meds about 6 months ago. No bad side effects!"


"My 14 year old son took this the night before we went deep sea fishing.  The drug worked well but later that afternoon his eye on the same side as the patch dilated so we have him wear sunglasses.  It has been 2 days and it is still dilated but am thinking it will go away by tomorrow. If not then I will consult my Physician."


"took plan B pill 4 hours after unprotected sex had nausea that day but after that NOTHING started to worry 2 weeks later I began spotting for a few days then my period finally came stayed longer than usual but the pill was worth it. I also took a pregnancy test while spotting because I was scared came back negative . took another about a week or 2 after period still came back negative."


"My dr decided to switch me to this bc just to try a different kind because I had a headache every period. Well took this pill for 4 days. I felt awful. I woke up feeling hungover every morning, headaches, dizziness. Almost fainted at work. So I called my Dr and switched right back to my previous bc. And it's been over 2 months since this and I've lost a lot of hair ( and  I mean a lot!!!!!! )"


"It worked great at 40mg, I had some slight tongue swelling, just thought I needed caffeine because that solved the issue. We upped it to 80mg after 3 years of being on it. Had to go to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction. I kept taking it at 40 but even then the allergic reactions were mild but still happening. Accidentally took it twice within 8 hours and was again taken to the hospital. Some ingredient in there I'm allergic too."


"I really like this birth control pill.  Has made a huge difference in my skin over the past few months.  I have been on several different types of birth control pills in the past 11 years and these are definitely the best I have taken.  I did experience some spotting/break through bleeding during the first pack, but the benefits overshadowed that by far.  I have had shorter periods, less pain, great skin, good moods, and increased sex drive."


"I got skyla when it was fairly new. I just had a child and they suggested this was the in between of the two main IUDs, between no hormone and high hormone No bleeding at first but then 6 months of spotting. No trouble with sex. Eventually no periods at all.  I loved it. Then I was worried about it not working anymore since I was told could last "up to" 3 yrs. I had it removed. OMG I didn't realize the changes that skyla had made to me. As soon as getting it removed i felt a difference. I was excited to have a period too. (Weird) I have had it removed for two weeks and have lost 7 lbs. I gained about 30 lbs in the 3 yrs of it! And my emotions were all out of wack, but again I didn't realize the subtle changes. Glad it's out!"


"Did not work. I used it a day after I felt a small bump. I bought first thing in the morning, used it accordingly and did not see any quicker than usual improvement.

Expensive for a very small bottle. I suppose it it did work for me it would be worth it and I would use it at least 3 cycles. However, it did nothing. My advice let it run its course. I'm day 12 now and it's almost gone. Not completely.

Highly disappointed with the product."


"I was suffering extreme anxiety, weight loss and insomnia due to a diagnosed medical condition.  I tried several sleep aids and SSRIs.  Nothing worked.  Because of the weight loss I was prescribed Remeron.  It was a Miracle for me!  I slept through the night for the first time in months, relieved anxiety and I started gaining weight.  Over time, my anxiety went away, but I stayed on because I loved having an appetite (I had no appetite for years).  I guess I stayed on too long.  After 6 years I decided I should get off.  I was dependent. I suffered flu like symptoms for weeks--nausea, exhaustion, gastrointestinal upset, feeling like low-grade fever.  I finally got rid of the nausea, but if I'm off for 2 weeks, the gastrointestinal upset creeps in.  I now take 3.25mg 1X week."


"My normal cycles are about 44-63 days. I started metformin January 12th 2015 at 500mgs a day with Imodium every other day for the first week. After the first week I start 1000mgs my period was January 5th then by February 6th I started again I haven't had a back to back cycle since 2007. Metformin is definitely effective in some females with polycystic ovarian syndrome."


"Have bad insomnia. Been on Ambien for 10 years now. I decreased my dose to only 3 mg about 5 years ago. All I need is to get to sleep. Anxiety prevents that. So Ambien works great for me. I have never had any bad effects at all with this drug. No after effects. Wake up refreshed. I have had instances where it doesn't work, if I am in a bad anxious state. But usually I take it right before bed. I don't delay at all because it is pretty fast working. Hope and pray there are no long term effects like Alzheimers. So far I have no memory problems. I am 74. I need sleep. It's that simple. Feel awful when I don't sleep. I do try not to take it every night. Go off for days in between. Try and go weeks if I can. So far that's working for me."


"My 17 month old son gets many ear infections.  After 8 days on this one he had an allergic reaction.  The doctors in ER told us he is allergic to Penicillin.  Also, his ear infection didn't clear-up with this antibiotic.  Maybe others will have better luck."


"Cialis works well for me, take small dose daily as we are pretty active daily now. Yippee. Keeps me slightly tumescent all the time which is cool when you're in the locker room. Good strong erections. A bigger dose once or twice a week works well too though I get more side effects - even then not too bad."


"I started the meds this morning. Went to gym had a pretty good workout. Felt a little lightheaded this morning while at the gym. Got home started craving water. While traveling this afternoon noticed I was getting very edgy and lot more energy and hungry. BUT I ate at 8am then gym and didn't eat when I got home so ... I was still wanting water a lot. 5 hours later I was very tired, edgy, and my husband said I was slurring my words. We ate dinner around 6 and I was fine. Not traveling again and it's 9:20 and I am so sleepy. Better mood per my husband."


"After 3 days of 5 mg, I'd had enough of this RX. Being knocked out during the day for 1-4 hours, but only sleeping in 2 hour increments at night, with violent/disturbing dreams, even waking with auditory hallucinations. The nausea wasn't extreme, but the overabundance of gas build up was too much for me. My depression only worsened because of the sleep deprivation."


"I am a African American woman with my natural hair.  I have not experience any hair loss. I have been on topiramate for 10 days. I am taking 50 mg 1 pill only at night and I have lost 8 pounds so far.  My doctor recommend I take 1 pill for 2 weeks before moving to 2 pills a day. I will probably stick with the one pill because I am losing the weight. I do exercise 5 days a week also so this helps. This pill alone is not going to work you need to get moving just a little. Treadmill 20 minutes is all I do. You can do it!!!! Good luck..."


"I was prescribed Zyprexa as a one pill cure for my OCD, Insomnia, Anxiety, And Manic Mood Disorder.  I am steadily increasing the Zyprexa dosage starting with 2.5mg.  At 5mg I can state that my OCD is practically gone.  I still have the desire to keep things orderly, but I am not getting frustrated or angry.  I can now leave things to do for another day without obsessing over and over in my mind.  No changes for the Insomnia or Anxiety at this dosage.  I will post as the dosage increases and the symptoms are relieved.  I have no negative effects to report at 5mg Zyprexa."


"Xiidra has worked very well. I started doing it only at night. I have started to do it in the morning also. The bad taste last for hours and is now making me  nauseous. It works better than my last medication but I feel sick all the time. I am going to go back to once a day and see if it goes away. If it does not then on to something else."


"My wife is taking this medicine and recent CT scan showed significant improvements in the lung, liver, bone tumors and also elimination of lymph node tumors.  We are very happy with the results so far.  This is the third attempt at chemo during her stage 4 status.  Our fingers are crossed and for the first time, my wife is feeling a little better and she is well enough to go out to dinner again."


"I've been on all sorts of meds to go monotherapy. Vimpat was the one. I did have a break through when I was on a super low dosage. At that point my Dr. Thought Topamax came out with an extended release and that just about killed ne. I went back onto Vimpat and felt like myself again. I am now still monotherapy and taking 200 2x day.  I'm thankful for this drug. I feel like my witty creative self and not dull or slow.  The only negative I can say is the price. Even with my insurance it's crazy. I use the coupon on the site too. It's just lots of money. Hope one day they release a generic one or lower the price."


"I have had an abcess in the same tooth 3 times now over the past 7/8 years the problem is its a front one so my dentist is reluctant to remove it. As I have had it a few times now I can tell the strange sensation a mile of as it is coming on before the real pain starts which might I add is probably the worst pain I have ever endured. So I went straight to the dentist. Because I caught it early this time he didn't want to perform a root canal and prescribed me with metronidazole 400mg 3 a day for 5 days I have had amoxicillin previously and it didn't work properly and had to have 2 root canals in short succession (not pleasant). I'm now on day 4 the swelling has decreased considerably  very impressed with this medication"


"After suffering what assumed to be a yeast infection for the last 4 days I finally was able to get to an urgent care who gave me this pill..150mg one day dose.  I took it at 9:00 am this morning and it's now 1:48pm..the itching has gone the discharge is minimal and now it only itches slightly when I pee or wipe.. Will be happy when it's all gone.. Amen.. What a miracle.. It did make me lethargic and tired.. I will give a solid 10 when all my symptoms are gone.."


"Went to ER with severe flank pain, was given Toradol via my IV and it worked miracles -- pain went from an 8 to a 2 in about 15 minutes. Found out I had a couple kidney stones and was prescribed 10 mg tablets to take for several days. They barely worked at all, had to go back a couple days later with my pain just as bad and be prescribed something else. So, Toradol is GREAT when administered through an IV, not so good in pill form."


"Had rocephin for bronchitis once and it worked great. (3 shots) This week I was ER and given this in IV for UTI . Felt much better. Sent home with Macrobid and got very ill. Will ask for rocephin next time!"


"A very large meningioma next to my pituitary gland damaged the pituitary and lessened the production of several hormones including growth hormone. This is a rare disorder and I had difficulty finding an endocrinologist who could diagnose the problem much less know how to treat it but was finally successful in finding a doctor who diagnosed my problem and prescribed Omnitrrope for me. After taking the medicine for four days my strength improved considerably. That was three years ago and I continue to use the medicine. I am confident it saved my life."


"I have been taken Lutera for about a year now so far it helps me a lot. It makes my period lighter and the cramps aren't that bad. Only thing that sucks is how tender your breasts get. But beside that is a really good birth control."


"Over the last 6 months since I was diagnosed with UC, I've tried as much as 4.8g/day of asacol: alone, with prednisone, with imuran, IV steroids and enema cortisol.

So far, I've only had luck with the prednisone. This stuff does not work at all for me"


"I have posted early before about my 1st & 2nd week using Retin A 0.025 cream. My 3rd week was much better than my second week, some of my acne stared to calm down and my face felt less bumpy. During this week I started to use the cream 4 times a week because my cheeks were hurting. My 4th week was the most improvement. I started to use the cream every night again since my face had stop hurting. During the 4th week most of my pimples disappeared and my skin felt smoother, I still had some pimples popping up but not as much. Now my cheeks are pretty smooth with a couple pimples but my cheeks are really red from the scars that were left behind from the pimples. I'm hoping they will slowly fade later. Will keep updating!"


"I've been on Abilify for about 2 weeks now. As most everyone else had said, this medication does miracles when it comes to fixing depression. My depression struggle of 4 years is gone. But also it comes with side effects .. It's this restless agitated feeling that just wont go away. When I sleep it seems to be better but other than that it's always really bad. My vision is also really bad but that could be because of the Seroquel XR that I'm coming off of."


"I have been having lower back pain for almost two years.  I've been to physical therapy twice, currently I'm having osteopathic manipulative treatment, but with only three visits so far, have not gotten much relief.  I also have neuropathic pain from shingles in my lower spine.  I have had pain in my hands and fingers for a long time.  I started getting nodules on my finger joints and can not wear my wedding rings any longer.  I finally told my doctor to refer me to a specialist.  In the meantime, he prescribed Mobic.  In three days of taking this, I can actually close my fist without pain, my back pain has gone down, my knees don't feel like they are on fire.  I feel like I can go out and start my walking routine again."


"I absolutely do NOT recommend this medication! I tried it to help with some weight loss along with lowering my blood sugar. I only got through 2 doses. I immediately suffered from nausea and headaches the first day. The second night on victoza, I awoke with severe stomach pain and began throwing up. Throughout the next day I felt miserable. Headaches, achy, low energy, and puking everything I tried to put in my body. I ended up in the ER that night dehydrated. Due to the severe stress on my body, I ended up with ketoacidosis. I spent 3 days in the hospital. It was the worst experience I have ever suffered due to a medication. Please do your research before taking this medication."


"You have to find what works best for you with Linzess and when you do, you will LOVE this drug.  I've had irritable bowel with severe constipation for all my adult life.  My insurance does not cover this drug yet I am willing to pay for it.  I have lost weight and no longer feel bloated all the time.  Before Linzess, Miralax was the only thing that even barely worked (after a few days).  Another commenter is right, if you take it more than 1/2 hour before eating (I wake up and take it in the wee hours of the morning or as soon as I wake up.)  The earlier you take it, the more the bowel movement will contain a lot of water as well.  A cup of coffee in the morning can jumpstart it."


"I'm 25 and have had minor motor ticks since I was around 12.  I was recently prescribed this because my tics became too much to bare without medication, but I'm not noticing much of any change.  Sometimes the following day after I take 2 mg the night before, I'll notice my tics are less frequent, but it definitely didn't relieve them when I need it to.  It also gives me really bad dry mouth and sometimes gets me so tired I fall asleep at my desk at work. I'll continue taking this for a little while longer but if the tics persist I'm gonna have to try something else."


"I have only had the Mirena for about 4 weeks and I just got my first period and I have been bleeding so heavily for about 3 days. I already decided that if this continues I will have it removed. I decided to get the Mirena because it lightens your period and can totally eliminate it, well that is not happening to me. I know it has only been a month but this is terrible. I have not had any other problems Just HEAVY BLEEDING."


"Started June 29 and as of July 2 I had lost 2.3 lbs."


"When I was in grade school I had a real hard time learning. I could not pay attention in class. My mind was always wandering. I was always daydreaming and looking out the windows, I could not retain any information. I was forgetful and bored. My grades were always C's and D's no matter how hard I tried. I was always fidgety, had a hard time sitting still, always twirling my hair or shaking my legs or feet. I hated school, I felt so dumb. As I got into high school I was so far behind I gave up trying. When I started driving I would go through red lights, stop signs etc. I was just daydreaming all the time. I kept losing my car keys, my glasses, forgetting where I put them. I am out of space, but Adderal saved my life! I am 59. No side effects"


"I took Ortho cept for about 1 year and it was amazing. I had no cramps, my periods were regulate, my skin was clear. I never had a problem with it. I had to stop taking it because my insurance no longer covered it and I had to switch to a generic brand and ever since it has been a nighmare with birth control. My breast size also increased about a cup, which for me it was awesome!"


"I'm on my 3rd week of bupropion and I have finally started seeing a difference in myself. It was a Thursday and I was in clinicals, I'm in college for athletic training, and I was just my normal friendly happy energetic self. Out of the three weeks I have had dizziness once and I have noticed some trembling but so far so good and I really feel like I'm getting back to my normal self. I had been down for so long I'm just glad I finally did something about it!"


"I'm diabetic and I've been taking amitriptyline hydrochloride for five weeks for pain from peripheral neuropathy in my feet and hands. I'm amazed at how well this medication works. I'm on 30mg daily and my hands are 90% improved and the pain in my feet has vanished for the first time in years. I do have a few of the more common side effects ... vivid dreams, occasional dry mouth, and once in while I feel lightheaded if I stand up too quickly. I can live with all of these if I can be pain-free."


"I remember reading people's opinions, online, of the drug before I took it and it scared me away from it. Then I finally decided to give it a try and it has been the best choice I have made. I have been on it for over 4 months and I feel great. I'm on 100mg and I don't have any side effects. When I first started I did notice that my hands would tremble but then it subsided. So honestly, don't listen to all the negativity because what doesn't work for some works amazing for others. So go based on youself and not everyone else. It may be a blessing in diguise. The pill is not meant to make you be all happy go lucky and see "butterflies and roses", its meant to help put the chemicals in your mind in balance so you can just be who you are and not overly depressed. I still get sad some times, but that is normal, that is life, and it's up to people to take control to make a change. I did so by getting on this pill."


"There was less side effects for me on Prozac in comparison to some of the other anti-depressants I have been on, which was great. I can't recall any side effects. I take Prozac it in the morning as it has a long half life and it seems to work better for me that way."


"On my second dose of taking this ...Worst experience ever ...I feel my whole body is swelling and numbness all over my body ...I'm so dizzy I can't stand up,diarrhea too...was rushed  to the ER because of this medicine .and they just told me to drink water to flush it out .After  8 hours I feel better I won't take this medicine again..."


"THE TASTE OF THIS MEDICINE IS SO BITTER. I HAve TO CHEW GUM AFTER, I HAD REALLY BAD STOMACH PAINS THEN DIARRHEA ALL NIGHT LONG."


"This drug has been amazing. It helped me tremendously with my depression and panic disorder."


"for a long time I've struggled with OCD, trichotillomania, depression, anxiety, and adhd. now I take vyvance for adhd but for the rest I take Zoloft and I take 150mg everyday. btw I'm a 15 year old female. it's really helped with the anxiety and depression and my trichotillomania has gotten better with the use of the drug lamictal at night which is a mood stabilizer(50mg)"


"Was given compazine for the first time in the ER. It was mixed in a cocktail for my headache. After 3 minutes I started feeling uneasy and I started to have a full in panic attack, I’ve never felt that in my life! I ripped my IV out of my arm and started kicking the walls and stomping , they thought I was insane! I told them it was the medicine , they didn’t do anything just released me and I felt like my skin was crawling for 3 days. Was the absolute worst experience of my whole life !"


"Been on Tri-Previfem for more than 4 years. I have zero complaints other than it has completed depleted my sex drive to literally nothing, which is why I will be switching to another birth control"


"Actually - CIGNA covered this, but I now have United Health Care and they won't cover it unless you have irritable bowel syndrome or idiopathic constipation.  I have constipation from M.S. and chronic opioid use and used it for over 4 years twice a day.  I'm going to try lactulose but this pill is so much more convenient and for me, works without side-effects. Prior to this, only over-the-counter senna helped, but with cramping side-effects at times and only more than the recommended amount worked."


"I am a 42 yr old mother. I have been depressed all of my life. Never been happy more than a few weeks at a time. I have tired a few different mess but no real change. I would also self medicate with alcohol. At least once a week I would get to drunk I would black out. As you probably figured that caused a lot of problems in itself. I started taken Brentellix 6 moths ago and I have NEVER been so happy in my entire life! I love it! It really changed my life for the better. No more drinking! At all. I'm so happy and my family has also seen the change are are more happy."


"When I have a cold that blocks sinuses, ears, and chest - this is what I take.  "


"I was on Seasonique for a 3-month cycle. During that period of time, I gained about 15 pounds, experienced horrible irritability, and I bled so much I was practically on my period for 3 months. Everyone has different experiences with birth control, but mine was really terrible with this particular medication."


"I took 1 Treximet pill in Jan. of 2012 and a 1/2 the following day. My migraines almost faded away for the last year. Throughout the 2012 year I still had small achey headaches, but nothing like before I put Treximet in my system. It is now a year later and I had my first migraine last week. I still have the same prescription from last year, so I don't have to buy anymore. I cut my caffeine to almost nothing and lots of natural sunlight. My headaches are fading out but I am going to take my yearly pill. I think this pill is worth every penny. Take this pill and find something to keep you busy."


"I've been impressed with this pill. It's been the best out of all pills I've taken (Ortho Lo/Yaz). I've been on it for over a year now. I feel pretty relaxed mood-wise,  light periods, haven't gotten pregnant despite occasionally taking it a few hours late. Also don't have any problems with migraines/canker sores/moodiness/weight gain/sex drive/urinary tract infections that I've had with other pills.
Possibly a moderate improvement in facial acne, but feel that back and chest acne sometimes gets out of control. Seems like acne gets worse though when I get less than 8 hours of sleep, am on the inactive pill week, or drink even a glass of wine. So might be better to take extra vitamins when on this pill due to decreased appetite."


"I was on 3 different antibiotics none helped to rid the UTI. I was then given bactrim, my second dose I felt so bad I felt like going to the ER. My head hurt day and night, I was nauseous just couldn’t function. I called the doctor, he told me to continue taking it, it is a strong medication. He said if I couldn’t take the pills he would have to give it with an IV antibiotics. I am being told I have this UTI and it is so bad that’s what I have to take. I have no symptoms of a UTI."


"Had hep.C  for 35yrs. Started Zepatier/Ribavirin with viral load of 16,000,000.(16wks.) 3rd. wk.went down to <15 viral load. 7th. wk.,un-detectable. Feel much better, only annoying side effect is scalp lesions, face has red dryness, chin, a little scabby-dry it's a small thing though. Think its from ribavirin."


"This is the best treatment for acne! I'm 23 and still had acne, though I had it primarily on my back and arms. I would never take my shirt off in public an%u010F was extremely self conscious about it. I'm 4 months into the treatment and I have NO new pimples (marks still there). I just hope the acne doesn't come back after the treatment.  Side effects are manageable, I've had dry lips, eyes and nose bleeds throughout the day but the advantages of the treatment outweigh the side effects by miles!"


"I had a migraine for 7 days. When I finally couldn't take the pain anymore, I went to my doctor and was prescribed this medication. Within 20 minutes my migraine was gone. Its heaven sent. You have to take it as soon as you feel a migraine coming on. Also it makes me very sleepy. But almost all medications do that to me. If you haven't taken it ...get it. It will solve your migraine problems."


"Everyone's system is different. What you have to do is take probiotics, I drink kefir, 4 hours after you take the augmentin. This and plenty of water, will help most people. Always always always eat plenty of food with augmentin, and always take probiotics in intervals, to replace the good bacteria. Do not take them at the same time, else you will just kill the probiotic good bacteria"


"I've been on Lutera for about 4 years now and its been pretty good! No huge complaints at all here! My breasts definitely got bigger but besides that not much weight gain as others have mentioned. I do have mood swings ever since I started Lutera but I mostly just cry easier when I'm PMSing and that's it. As for effectiveness it works great and I pretty much have my period down to the hour at which I know it will start. If you take the pill as instructed, it works great!"


"Relieved back pain almost instantly when used IV form, awesome! But very little effect when taken orally."


"Prescribed .25 levothyroxine (generic) about 4 weeks ago for borderline hypothyroidism. They say "borderline" but, honestly, the TSH ranges are to broad. If your TSH is 4.5.......you're gonna feel it mentally and physically. No earth-shattering side effects to date. However, I will say that I haven't had an anxiety attack since about the first week of starting this....not one and I was having them frequently. Looking forward to some weight loss, but nothing so far."


"I wanted to post this review because there was SO MUCH NEGATIVITY! This is the first birth control I have ever used and love it. I was terrified it would affect my moods, weight gain, etc. It has done no such thing. My period is lighter and very predictable. Only once or twice in the whole year have I had slight spotting in between placebo pills. I recommend this to anyone who wants the protection, but is afraid of side effects. The only thing to remember is to take this at the EXACT SAME TIME! Since it is low dosage, you have about a 30 minute window to take it. I love it!"


"Seroquel has been very helpful with sleep, and I also noticed some mood stabilization in combination with Lamictal and sometimes Klonopin.  Sometimes it is overly sedating, but taking it a couple of hours before normally going to sleep is important for me so that I don't feel drowsy the next day.  I did not notice any weight gain on it.  My doctor started me on 50 mg, which was good for sedation, but no major difference in mood.  100 mg does make a difference in lower my anxiety and some mood stabilization with my other medications, but sometimes she recommends me to take 200 mg to reduce mania from flaring up when it starts.  Overall, this med has been useful for Bipolar 1 for me."


"I have tried absolutely everything to get rid of my acne.  I've been seeing a dermatologist since my early teen years.  I have also done microdermabrasions and chemical peels.  Claravis really worked for me.  I have my blood work done once a month.  I have not had any serious side effects, just chapped lips.  I would recommend Claravis to anyone who struggles with persistent acne."


"Excellent "


"I was born with neurofibromatos and saw over 20 doctors in the last year with 4 MRI's.  I have 1000's of little bumps on my back and one on my left side that is the size of a golf ball wrapped around my nerve and muscle. I finally went to a pain specialist and he put me on this drug.  It's my 3rd day on it and I am taking 100 mg's now and  in two more days will be on 150mg.  So far this is amazing.  I went golfing today and I had no pain in my swing.  I can finally get back out in the course and have no pain in my back swing.  I'm glad I have not read any negative comments about this drug.  It really is a miracle."


"I've been taking Ambien now for about 8 months; I am also prescribed to benzos (clonazepam). Recently my doctor let me try a 7 day trial of Ambien CR- I did not feel much of a difference.  I have read many of the blogs that people have written and they seem to have the same problem as me...  sometimes it works and sometimes it does nothing!  Actually its been two weeks since I last took it until tonight and it seems to be having no effect.  If anyone has a solution I would love to hear about it.  Thanks. "


"I have been taking hydroxyzine for social phobia and chronic anxiety and panic attacks for over 7 years. It is the only med that has helped. I tried everything! Helps with sleep. Works like a Xanax and klonopin where you take as needed. But I also take at night for sleep. I would definitely recommend!!!!"


"I had to go to the ER cuz it was so bad. They gave me cipro and I feel way worse then when I went to emergency. I've Been taking it two days now and the pain on my right side feels like it's on fire. I can't stand up for longer than a few minutes and I've been throwing up every couple of hours. Antibiotics are supposed to make you better not worse"


"I've been on Effexor for about two years.  Previously, I was taking Lexapro and went off it for a short period of time.  I returned to my doctor and he prescribed Effexor, 75 mg/day.  I experienced improvement with my anxiety, depression and panic attacks.  Like everyone else, I feel it (dizzy, hungover like symptoms) when I miss a daily dose.  I experience constipation and don't sleep as deep or through the night like I used to.  These side effects are on the list for this medicine - so, no surprises here.  I give this a rating of 9 because it is very helpful to relieve the symptoms of my depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  And, it helps to control my moods so I can better manage my emotions."


"I was in severe depression. Working with a great psychiatrist who had me on Lamictal and Celexa with no change. He added 2.5mg of Abilify and by the 2nd day, I was myself again. Still feel great with good energy level and ability to cope."


"After my second child I got my Mirena IUD. Overall its great. I've had it since 2006 had it replaced once due to the fact that my husband could feel the threads during sex and said it was uncomfortable. Once it was replaced we had no issues with it. It was pain free when it was inserted and I haven't had a period since April 07."


"I was diagnosed with Facial Cellulitis in the ER 3 days ago. Was given this medicine via IV while in the ER, and sent home with a 10 day script taking 300mg 4 times daily. I have a small case of heartburn, nothing too bad. I have no other side effects to report from this medicine.

My only complaint is the taking it 4 times a day. It means in the middle of the night (3am to be exact) I have to wake up for about 30 minutes just to take a pill. I like my sleep.

So far it has worked. The swelling has gone down, and it seems the infection has stopped spreading. That was it's first job! I still have to take it for 7 more days, so hoping by the time I finish, this medicine completed it's final job in killing the bacteria."


"Every time I've used Abreva, it's knocked maybe 1 or 2 days off of the usual 10 days to 2 weeks of healing. I came here more to spread the word about LYSINE supplements. After tons of reading I heard about these pills and ran out to whole foods and bought super lysine (10$) after a very big breakout on my nose. I'm on day 5 and it's GONE. Yesterday I was able to conceal the healing very easily with makeup. Usually the experience of a cold sore breakout is traumatizing for me, putting it lightly. I could cry of happiness for finding these miracle pills. I took 600mg a day during my active infection, 500-1000mg for a week to make sure the infection is completely gone!"


"I'm on the generic version Citolopram. First 10mg for 7 days then up'd to 20mg. Now on that for little over 4 weeks. Still feel blah. I've been switching when I take it to see if it helps sleep. Well apparently you need to take at night! It's cousin to lexapro. I just took my 20mg at 9a.m.(to see) an its 2 hrs later an I'm very sleepy. I'm giving it 6 wks . I'm on med #7. I hope this works. Not many left for me to try. Not much side effects with Celexa. Occasional anxiety but I also have Klonapine when needed. So going back to take at night. I am having night sweats occasionally  also but lethargy during day."


"I went to the doctor about the itching and turns out I had a severe allergic reaction to Brintellix. 103 temp, so I have to wait a week to get the meds out of my system."


"I was on Advair 250/50 when I changed insurance and my new insurance company didn't want to pay for Advair unless I tried Qvar first, and it failed. So, I started using Qvar 80.  I was without any asthma medicines while this insurance thing was going on.  Good news is that Qvar seems to work better for me than Advair.  I didn't realize how bad asthma could get by stopping a medicine for only a week.  The Qvar is taking care of that, though.  I think it is a great medicine for me."


"I love this has been nothing but great and is very effective also and I am having intercourse everyday without any other barrier method and had no scares. I would highly recommend."


"I was on these pills for 2 months. From the first week I didn't notice any side effects, but from second week I started bleeding and spotting all the time. In the first month it was very light, second month a little bit more. In the end of the second month, before white pills, it stopped. I had acne before but I went to salon for facials and my skin was almost perfect, but since I started to use pills my skin became worse. Also in the middle of the first month I was just super mad every day, my husband wanted me to stop using them, but then in a few days I came back in my normal mood. I didn't gain weight, at least, and totally I felt fine."


"The most effective Parkinson's drug I have tried.  For me, works substantially better to control muscle pain and rigidity than Azilect, Neupro, Mirapex, Ropinirole, Rytary or Carbidopa/Levodopa alone.  It improves my dexterity and cognitive ability better as well.  Too much of it can be sedating, but otherwise, side effects are very manageable.  I would be in a world of hurt without this medication."


"I have had FMS for 5 years now. First few years I really struggled, tried painkillers and anti-depressants which did not help, only made me more depressed and tired. Have been on Lyrica for 2 years now 150g twice daily. It is the only drug so far to work for me. Only side effects are increased appetite. It gives me more energy and helps me sleep. I have lost weight on Lyrica, by been more positive and active. I ignore the increase in appetite and just drink water and it works. Pain is still there but not as bad. It is truly a miracle."


"Adderall XR has changed my LIFE! For years, I have struggled with depression and anixety, no motivation, mood swings and couldn't focus on any task. I was diagnosed with ADD/Bi-polar when I was 19-20ish (26now and mom of 1). I have struggled through so many years not knowing after several doctors and tons of medicines or medication combinations I was put on Vyvanse from 30-50mg over a period of 2 years. It worked well for me. In the beginning I had dry mouth, palpitations. My coverage stopped paying for it. Doctor tried me on Strattera and Concerta (not together). After several months I was just still always sick, with stomach cramps, headaches, etc. About 3 years now I've been on Adderall XR 30mg and I still have dry mouth and loss of appetite. Other than that, it has helped me to be a "normal" person and loving, motivated mother."


"Arthrotec75 was prescribed after I developed serious aching in my right thigh that prevented me from standing or walking for more than a few minutes. Eventually, a herniated disc at L-4-L5 was diagnosed. A large fragment was pressing up against a nerve. After a few more weeks, the onset of motor deficit in my foot led to the need to have surgery. If that hadn't happened, I might have been able to avoid the surgery indefinitely by continuing to take Arthrotec. Other NSAIDs might have worked too, but protection of the stomach lining by Arthrotec's misoprostol was appealing."


"For me the pill has been pretty good. Had to go on the progesterone only pills do to migraines and stroke symptoms. So far it’s been a lot better. My period is trying to get back on track but it’s not too bad. I’m a 3 or 4 months into it I’ve noticed the past few weeks I’ve been very oily (never had that problem in my life. I’ve always had dry skin). Like I’m so oily even my ears are oily. It’s weird lol. Also my body odour is really bad. I’ve never body odour problems. Idk if I’m having womanly changes or if it’s switching to this pill lol. But I’m not pregnant and the migraines are gone so I’m giving this pill time to adjust to my body."


"I liked this medication for a while and then it seemed to increase my anxiety rather than reduce it. I even tried going up in dosage with no effect."


"This works fine for me, I'm allergic to most of the antibiotics out there but not this one thankfully.  I get uti's frequently, because I always have to be cultured, sometimes that waiting period helps the  thing really get going.  Normally its a 10 day course... I do not get headaches or any of the side effects others have had.  Everybody's body is different, the only way you'll know how you will react is to take it yourself."


"Had a horrible chest cold for over a month that turned in to bronchitis. Suffered through several Dr visits before after about 2 weeks being put on Z-Pak. I think this is the most wonderful antibiotic I've ever been on. By day 2 my energy is returning & today is day 4 & I've done more around the house than I have in over a month. No upset stomach or any side effects"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"My sleep apnea doctor prescribed this for me as I still felt tired during the day.  This has been a miracle drug.  I have energy during the day, think clearly, and have noticed my memory recall is much better.  (I am 51)  The down side of this drug is that it is not covered by most insurance.  Too bad... because I feel so much better and alert with this medication."


"Started 50 mg three weeks ago.  The change has only been for the good.  I still have moments that fear is large but they are fewer than before zoloft. I played golf for the first time in months last week.  Life is better and my head doesn't get spammed with messages now."


"I had sex and my partner finished inside of me on 6/6/17 and it was around the time of ovulation. I took aftera within about 24 hours afterwards. On 6/19/17 I started bleeding like a period and thought it was very strange that my period came about a week early. The bleeding was light and I was experiencing some cramping. On 6/25/17 I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. This was my first experience with taking a morning after pill and getting pregnant. I have taken plan b, and next choice in the past they both worked but Aftera effectiveness varies with each individual and didn't work for me."


"This birth control sucks!! I started taking these pills 10/17 and 11/17 started my period and haven’t even started the period pills and my period is still on!! The doctor told me I can skip my period pills for the month and start a new pack. Started period on 11/20/17 and as of today my period is still on.  And my appetite has picked up, which I don’t like so I’m just going to stop taking them and use condoms for protection!!"


"I'm 28 years old, I have a C5-6 disc herniation which causes me to have a lot of radiculopathy down my left arm. I frequently ice my neck and go to physical therapy 3x a week. I also started incorporating this medicine into my therapy a little over a month ago. Currently I'm asymptomatic but the side effects are bothering me a bit. The heartburn and constipation annoy me yet I'd rather have them then have all the pain/numbness and burning back."


"After taking Norco 10/325 for close to 8 months, I was switched to Percocet 10/325 and what a difference! I take 4 a day and I have my life back!!
I was injured earlier this year and fractured my patella. Even Physical Therapy didn't help as much as it should, because I was left with osteoarthritis in my knee. I'm now able to do chores, go places and enjoy life again thanks to no pain! Thank you Percocet."


"Honestly, a very good drug for anxiety and depression symptoms. The worse side effect is the weight gain. But in the end, for me personally, I would prefer relief from anxiety."


"Have been taking Epclusa for just over a week now constantly feel tired, but after 35yrs of living with hep c I reckon it's a small price to pay. I'm also on Suboxone 8 mg a day wondering if this has anything to do with tiredness. Can only hope that it knocks this disease on the head and I can get a few extra years out of this abused body of mine. Glad it's on the PBS scheme here in Australia"


"I had a stuffy nose for 2 wks, tried afrin & over the counter meds and nothing worked. I used to take rx flonase about 10 yrs ago every allergy season so I figured it couldnt hurt to try. It took about 3 days and now my nose is almost completely cleared up. Before taking this I had sinus pain/pressure, a horrible smell when I blew my nose, constant runny nose, watery eyes. Most times I couldnt even blow anything out it was so clogged. Flonase works."


"RIP Sir James Whyte Black  (1924 %u2013 2010) who was a Scottish pharmacologist and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for work leading to the development of propranolol and cimetidine.
Propranolol is absolutely a miracle.
I had been struggling with stage fright for years and I said enough is enough I searched for medicine and ended up with this page which is life changing. Thank you for your comments which helped me to normalize my life."


"I started taking Junel Fe due to sudden horrible menstral cramps that led me to pass out and hit my head on my bathroom tile. I had no noticeable side effects (other than big boobs) and my periods were extremely light and always right on time. No side effects is really awesome especially because my body is super sensitive to medications.I noticed, though, after about the sixth month of taking it I was feeling bloated all the time, to the point where I finally stopped after eight months. I think it's good to have a low dosage of hormones like this one, I would give it a try! I would say though if you don't need to be on the pill I would try being hormone free- it made me feel so healthy.:)"


"My doctor put me on Nucynta for lower back pain because I told him tabs are taking over my life and to addictive. He said try this medicine and see if you like it. It's less addictive. It takes care of the pain for about one hour but makes me sleepy so I can't take them at work. Tablets made me not only work more comfortable but feel good to. So if you want to try it just remember its not like Lortabs or Percocets."


"Works great for anxiety, it does cause sedation, but is highly effective for keeping the anxiety at bay."


"Working so far."

"I take 900mg Neurontin for trigeminal neuralgia. For me it works very well, I was taking Lyrica 400 mg daily the side effects were terrible. It controls my nerve pain so far, I have no side effects but I can't miss a dose though, because my pain returns."


"I felt compelled to review this medication because of how scared I was when reading such scary recipes and side effects. I had tried taking Yasmin which made me gain weight, become increasingly moody and depressed and eventually stopped taking that. When it was time to start up again I was so nervous with Junel but I have nothing but good things to say. No weight gain, no acne, no moodiness, I have a very light, scheduled period, and it does what it's supposed to - prevents pregnancy. I've been on it about 2.5 years now. Love love it."


"I had a post-surgical infection that was not going away and had been on doxycycline, levofloxamine and had been given vancomycin IV when I had an abscess drained. This med did the trick along with bactrim. I had read the reviews so I made sure I stayed hydrated, drinking a full 16 oz bottle of water w/each dose.  My doctor had me taking probiotics about 2 hours after dosing. I also took one before bed. I think that and the water really held any of the wicked side-effects at bay, but of course, everyBODY is different.For what it's worth I also drank orange juice and ate citrus as much as possible after reading that most bacteria don't do well in an acidic environment. I figured it couldn't hurt. Call Doc if you get diarrhea - can be deadly."


"I took the pill three times because I happened to have an accident three different times in a span of a year and a half. The first two times I didn't experience any bad symptoms and got my period around when I was supposed to. The third time I waited a week and my period already came, which was very strange. I always took the pill within a few hours of the accident and it worked every time!"


"I have been taking Viibryd for about a week now and so for can't tell a lot besides not sleeping and having night sweats only on the 10mg. So far not sure if it's right for me or not. I have taken everything and the only thing that has worked for me is Lexapro and I was on 10 mg for a year then was on 20mg for another year but just wasn't working anymore so I am going to give Viibryd a good shot before quitting. Think I will start taking in the morning and see how that goes."


"I had pneumonia & had been sick for 2 weeks. The Dr. had prescribed another antibiotic & steroids first.  When I wasn't better, the Dr. prescribed Levaquin. The first day was ok, just really tired. The second day I started having joint pain & my ribs were really hurting (not from coughing)& still really exhausted. By the third day I could barely walk because of my knees being so swollen & painful & hard to breathe because of the rib pain. Called the Dr. & he said to get off of it & come in for blood tests. I have been off of it for almost 2 weeks & still can barely walk & the ribs are still really sore. After reading the rest of the stories, it makes me very angry that this drug and it's family is still out there to harm people. RIDICULOUS!"


"I've been using Orthovisc for 3 years.  The pain during injection was minimal, no biggie.  For my last set of shots I used another doctor. (Both doctors are rheumatologists.)  The shots were very painful.  Needless to say that next time I am going back to the first doctor for my next series.  I know knee replacement is in the future for me (both knees) but so far I am having very good success with the Orthovisc though I must admit that each time I do it it’s not as successful as the last.  Well I guess that only stands to reason but let's face it,  with therapy and Orthocisc I've been able to postpone surgery for 3 years and still counting."


"Lifesaving. Was completely nonfunctional before being put on it. I understand the risks but the risks of disabling tinnitus were 1 million times worse. This medicine needs to be studied further as I also agree that severe tinnitus related to sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a brain condition. I tried a million things beforehand (steroids, steroids injected into ear, hyperbaric oxygen, etc.) Xanax saved my life."


"5mg dose does nothing for me. This is the second occasion I've tried it and it's not working for me.

I'll check with my doctor to see if I need a higher dose. I previously had 10mg of stilnoct a European brand. One of those and I was out ten mins later."


"I got mood swings that most of the time is controllable but still I shouldn't randomly start crying. I have no sex drive. I'm so irritable. With my period its heavy long and it hurts so bad! I am going to my doctor to get a new pill after the next 2 months that I've already purchased. Overall the only good thing is that my breasts got slightly bigger."


"I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and panic attacks a few months ago and this medication has totally changed my life. I used to be in a near constant state of anxiety and panic, it got to the point that I was having frequent crippling panic attacks. I was prescribed prozac for anxiety and hydroxyzine for panic attacks. The prozac works so well the panic attacks were gone in a week, and I think I have only used the hydroxyzine a few times (it doesn't really work) I would like another medication for panic attacks (even though I rarely have them, I'd like to have it just in case) however prozac has been absolutely wonderful for anxiety."
