"It works quite well, I used to have numerous whiteheads constantly covering my chin but this works well. Occasionally I will have a few pimples but normally its during sports and when I'm not playing sports I'm clear. The biggest drawback is it is very hard to apply. It leaves a white flakey coating all over your face that is hard to remove with out removing the product. I normally get rid of it with moisturizer but it requires two applications that are hard to rub in."


"My first injection of Enbrel caused me more pain and stiffness then I had before I used the medicine. The right side of my body and my hands hurt so much... happens to be the side I injected. NO way is this for me, it made my skin red and so painful, my joints are stiff and I have so much more pain. My scalp is much more itchy. Also gave me chills and made me feel like I had the flu. I wish I could fine something to stop the pain and my joints from getting deformed."


"I have BiPolar Disorder 1. My biggest problem has always been crippling depression of the type that causes me to become non-functional. My manias have been bad but not as dramatic as some - mostly career self sabotage. But severe manias have been few and far between.
Here's the deal for me: Cymbalta works. It lifts the fog, lessens the awful physical pain, stops the anxiety, and keeps me from lying in bed too hopeless to even believe death would help.
At 60 mg., it gives me some mild mania - just enough to let me live my life- but not enough to make me wild.
It messes up sex some, but not near as much as Zoloft & others. I take it with Wellbutrin 300 XL. Stopped it once because of dollars - but never again."


"I was put on this medication after I was injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan. I have been using it for almost a year now and I could not be happier with its results. It helps me fall asleep, but does not make me feel groggy even I need to wake up in the middle of the night. It also helps me to avoid nightmares and other anxiety related symptoms. If you want a sleep aid that does not have the side effects of others like Lunesta or Ambien I would strongly recommend talking to your doctor about clonidine."


"I started nuvaring on 5/15/2016 and took it out 5/28/2016. I am 38 and have 3 children. I felt so depressed, emotional and aggravated for the past week. I am extremely tired, headache, and just feel off. I'm nauseous and hungry at the same time. I don't know if it's in my head or my body needs to adjust but I am scared of going forward or symptoms worsening. What really made me nervous was my eyes felt like I had a fog over them, I took it out and flushed it down the toilet. 30 mins later my eyes were clear again. Maybe I was being paranoid I don't know but that wasn't for me. I'm getting my tubes tied."


"Love love love it! I got pregnant while using nuvaring so I wanted a bc that was much safer, well I found it!!! I hated it the first month but everything after that has been a breeze! 1000% worth it! I recommend to all my girlfriends"


"It saved my life.  It was the perfect medicine for me, except for chronic constipation.  Went to the hospital for the constipation (I did not know it was caused by Zoloft at the time), and they found I had appendicitis, which ruptured while I was waiting at the hospital, and also that I had kidney cancer, so got 2 surgeries, 1 for the ruptured appendicitis and 1 to take away my left kidney.  Had it not been for the Zoloft, I would be dead.  I of course had to change medicines and go the second choice prescribed by the psychiatrist.  It works, but not as well as the Zoloft, unfortunately.  Zoloft is excellent, and if it was not for chronic constipation, I'd be back on it.  Good luck all."


"Had the flu for 3 days, then decided to go to the doctor, was prescribed Tamfilu, within 2 days, I was already feeling a lot better.  Wished I would have went sooner, this medicine is great!"


"I am 20 years old, and this is the first BC i have been on. I started this pill to regulate my period, my Gyno said it would help and this pill has minimum side effects. I started this pill the second day of my period because it was a sunday (that's what my gyno told me to do) Any way i have been on it for a month now and i am still bleeding every day like i am on my second day of my period (which is my heaviest day). I have very bad crampscramps, loss of appetite, and lowered my sex drive tremendously. I am married, so that is a very inconvenient. I honestly hate this pill because when i called my gyno, they said give it 3 months and thats its normal, which i dont believe."


"I've been through every sleep aid in existence. None worked. They started me on 50mg which didn't work. Long story short.. I take 800mg at night around 10pm and fall asleep after about an hour or so. I wake up ready to go about 6am usually.  I started experiencing withdrawals mid day. It was as bad as coming off benzos which is an absolute horror story but I was suffering and my Dr felt it was due to seroquels half life so I started taking 400mg mid morning and that helped. Some days I have to sleep after the 400mg dose and others I don't. This medication has helped me in many ways. It's helped my anxiety and sleep however I have gained 40lbs which is disturbing. I'm currently trying to lose weight. I don't want to give this med up."


"The best anxiety pill ever, works better then Zoloft and Xanax."


"I can't believe I suffered so long before I went to the doctor and he prescribed Ventolin to me. It has made my breathing so much easier. The only negatives at all is sometimes I'm dizzy for a while after using it, but that's to be expected."


"From my experience's its worked amazingly well for my Von Willebrands disease. It makes your face flush and heat very quickly but its not that bad of a side effect. The first time I used it I was out of it for about 15 minutes and after that it never happened again."


"so i am 30 years old  two kids. never been on bcp before.  i got on it to make sure not to get pregnant as i am content with just having  two kids. i have only been on it for two weeks. and it has been horrible.  been nauseous and have been having severe headaches, which i never get, and to top it off oh boy i have been EMOTIONAL!!!!has not been fun at all.  figure ill try it for a lil longer but if these symptoms continue i will not be able to handle feeling like this everyday."


"I have been taking Effexor XR for approximately 6 months now.  My hot flashes were very severe.  I would be soaked and wet from top of my head down to my legs.  Cold glass of water hardly touched it.  After taking Effexor I only have little sweating around my head and neck maybe two to five times a month.  It is a great relief."


"They don't work.  Why do they still make it? I wound up back in the ER and a nurse tells me that it never worked for her and she's never heard anyone say it had worked for them."


"This medicine has been an absolute miracle. I was very skeptical about taking an antidepressant again after the horrible side effects from Zoloft, but my doctor let me know how much she thought this would be different and help me. I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Attacks, and also depression. Not the kind of StayInBedAndCryAllDay type, but I am always irritable and snap at people easily. I take 5mg each morning and I am right as rain. The first week the side effects were nausea and diarrhea, with drowsiness. Once the first week was over my husband and I noticed a HUGE difference. Things that I would once snap about didn't phase me. I was genuinely happy again. You won't regret trying this."


"This is a 5-ASA suppository.  Helpful in gaining control of a mild UC flare.  No side effects.  Fairly easy to "hold in" compared to Rowasa, but doesn't spread as far, pretty much only the rectum.  A little lube helps, I also knock off the rough edges on the blunt end."


"Taken the 0.5 mg tab only when needed for anxiety over a 9 year period. The last 4 years was prescribed the 1 mg. tab to help with my insomnia.  Sometimes am able to use half the tab in order to fall asleep. I'm in my 70th year and see my doctor on a regular basis. It has made a positive effect in my life."


"Prescribed for sleep but didn't work. Only sleepy during the day!"


"It's the only over the counter pain reliever that helps me."


"I started Victoza 3 months ago but I stopped because I feel my blood sugar is going low and one day it went up to 2.9 so my doctor told me to stop using it."


"terrible depression, mood swings, not helping tremors seems same as before I was taking them, might ask doctor to stop giving it one more week, I have been taking for 6 weeks"


"Diagnosed with HepC in 2011, After a long battle with my insurance company finally got approved for Harvoni with the help of Patient Advocate Foundation and the fact that the insurance company waited way too long to come to a decision on my original appeal at their denial. Have been taking it now for thirteen days and at my first blood test was told my condition is stable. I haven't  experienced any of the side effects so many others have reported. I take my medicine while at work with no problems. I am really praying that I will be cured because I really want to put this behind me. Will update later when I hopefully get the good news that my blood is back clear and untainted. I have faith that I will be another success story for Harvoni."


"After having a tooth infection and being on cocodamol for 5 days, I had only passed a small hard BM and was feeling groggy, bloated, full even after no food. I took 2 tablets about 1130pm and was fine through the night, no pain whatsoever. Woke up in the morning and felt the same so took 2 more. About 8pm so nearly 24 hours after my first lot, 8 hours after my second lot I felt a little off and had a bit of achey stomach. Went to the toilet fine and felt relieved. Had an urge to go about 30 minutes after really bad cramps which seemed to clear me up the most. Then went again around 2 hours after that which seemed a bit watery and loose but fine you don't really feel anything.  Overall I feel so much better now. Definitely recommend for the easiest relief."


"I took 12 doses of this medication. My bone scan 2 days ago showed a change from "severe" to "mild" osteopenia. So I can stop the medication and continue standing all day at work and lifting weights.

Now I don't have to fear falling. I can see an active future.

I am grateful.

I experienced no side effects.

I am nearly 71. My mother was bent and fragile with osteoporosis. She died at 94 from the hospital infection after treatment for broken bones."


"I have lost 40lbs, feel better, more energy. I recommend it to anyone that has tried everything like myself"


"I've been on this pill for a little more than 2 years (can't remember exactly when I started it). Only birth control I have ever used and I have no problems with it what so ever. No mood swings, no weight gain, no increased acne, and so light of periods that I only need a liner which lasts for 2 to 4 days. My sex drive is the same as it was before the pill and I haven't had a single pregnancy scare which is great because I've had unprotected sex with my boyfriend the entire time I've been on the pill. I of course take the pill like you are suppose to (every day at the same time) other than not bothering with the sugar pills. I recommend to try it for few months because when I first began the pill I had nausea but it stopped after few months"


"I would not recommend this pill for anyone, not any progesterone only pill. Bloating that makes me look 3 months pregnant, constipation, 50 pounds of weight gain in under 2 years that won't exercise off, skin feeling too tight all the time, headaches, fatigue, appetite is weird, constipation and diahhrea, mood swings, hot and cold flashes, and a never ending period. Medical staff all say it's normal and can't be the pill...so it's all in my head. I stopped this pill 2 nights ago and lost a third of my stomach as the bloating is decreasing.

Stay away from these pills!"


"I am 29 years old and have been on Buspar for about a year and a half and since I started taking it my sex drive is completely gone. Yes it helps my anxiety but I am too young to have a horrible sex drive!"


"I had unprotected sex a few days (2 or 3 days) before my expected ovulation. The condom broke, so if I was fertile, I was definitely going to be pregnant. But we went to Walmart and bought the plan B; I took it after about 3 hours because I had been reading reviews and got scared about the potential side effects. But I didn't get any horrible side effects from it; only light cramping at random times. I started bleeding about a week afterwards. It didn't feel like a normal period. I'm pretty sure it was just my uterus shedding itself. This lasted a week. It was kinda heavy at first and began to taper off each day that went by. And there was only light cramping  (thankfully). My normal period came after 4 weeks. (So it was a week late.)"


"I have really bad leg cramps and I start peeing and cant stop. my wetting problem is twice as bad as it was before taking it"


"I have struggled with severe constipation (IBS-C) for years.  NOTHING worked... fiber, laxatives, Rex meds. Linzess worked TOO well and painfully. I can't leave the house after taking this.  I read on one reviewers post to try Nopalina... I thought, why not, I've tried everything else.  It definitely helped.  I take Nopalina capsules everyday as directed, and drink LOTS of water and sometimes add Miralax to my routine (if needed). Changed my life!!!"


"Due to issues with my insurance I recently have had to switch from Ambien CR to regular Ambien. Although the medication is very helpful to me in falling asleep I have found that I wake up throughout the night (1-3 times). A problem that I did not experience when taking the Ambien CR. Nonetheless, Ambien has significantly helped me cope with my insomnia."


"We only realised condom broke after we finished. It was day 13 of my 30 days cycle. I took Norlevo 3 hours theafter. Felt dizzy, sick and extremely tired that day. In one week pinkish-brownish spotting started which lasted 3 weeks. It stopped eventually for another month or so. Then my normal period finally started. The pill works but it takes some time for the body to get through it. I had most of side effects: bloating, mood swings, tummy cramps, I even put on weight! But not pregnant so can't complain. Take care!"


"I found that this medicine managed the muscle spasms associated with the three herniated discs in the lumbar region of my back"


"I have been in hospital for 3 weeks now.  It started out as obstructive jaundice, which they put in a stint and started me on Vidocin.  The vicodin worked great for my abdominal pain, but did nothing for the spasms I started getting in my back after being in the hospital bed for over 2 weeks.  Finally, after 2 days of intensely painful and nearly uncontrolable back spasms, they put me on Flexeril.  I'm finally able to move around and breath normally without triggering more spasms.  Thank God for Flexeril.  The pain is nearly gone.  It didn't shut it out entrirely, but it made it bearable enough that I'm finally able to move, instead of having to stay perfectly still and take shallow breaths to avoid triggering another one."


"I started this because I was having horrible insomnia for a couple of weeks due to not being able to quiet my brain. I also take Zoloft in the mornings. I have mixed feelings about this drug. This is not a drug that really helps me fall asleep. It does kind of quiet my thoughts some. What it does do though is help me not wake up for hours. I actually do get a full restful nights sleep...eventually. The dreams are also pretty awesome. I feel like I have been on some crazy dream adventures the last couple of months! Sometimes I am slow to come out of my sleep fog in the mornings but nothing a few splashes of cold water to the face won't fix. I also find my anxiety levels are nice and calm the next day. Overall I think it is helpful."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My doctor prescribes it for use before a colonoscopy procedure.  This medicine is excellenr for its intended use. BUT the directions should be customized depending on person weight. I took the first dose with no problem because I had other liquids at the stomach. I am about 137 # and when I drink ithe second dose during the morning it cause me nausea and during taking the last portion, I started vomiting  and I thought I would not be able to have the study. I continue to take the water as indicated. Nevertheless I had about three hours in the bathroom and The colonoscopy was performed without problems. I suggest that the manufacturer should study a better method to drink it; evaluate if could be taken more diluted."


"I have had GERD and GERD like issues since the age of 12.  I have been put on every medication available on the market only to have them stop working after a few short years.  Finally, about 10-15 years ago I started taking Aciphex - no side effects, no resistance... no problems at all.  My one and ONLY issue is the cost.  I have tried every generic and over the counter (supposedly) "equivalent" with no success.  "


"I was given Zofran after having my gallbladder removed. The nausea wasn't from the procedure, but came on when I was finally able to eat and the broth soup was placed in front of me. For at least a month prior I'd been getting nauseous just from seeing food no matter how hungry I was (and after fasting for surgery I was absolutely starving!) I was given Zofran in my IV and it did absolutely nothing. My surgeon then gave me a prescription for the pill form, but again, it did nothing to help my nausea."


"I had the Implanon for three years. Never really noticed anything crazy except for the first and final month of having it. I had the usual nausea and dizziness. Exactly what the doctor told me to expect.Any medicine you take will have side effects & sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles. I got a new one put it that same day I got the old one removed .I am now approaching year 2 of this one & I am having it removed tomorrow morning. For the last year I have had on & off nausea, headaches, moody, anxious. I am praying that once this things gets taken out I will be me again. My demeanor has been crappy the last year. Headaches & nausea prevent you from living your life to the fullest. Absolutely do not recommend Nexplanon."


"This is my second round with this medication. It has decreased my anxiety, lifted the veil of darkness, and helped me out of my uber mentality. And unlike most of you, I suffer from IBS-D and this medication helps me be regular, something I haven't been in 20years. Nice side effect."


"My gyn put me on Aviane... So I was taking that for only a month, and for my second month I had switched to a different pharmacy location and they didn't have Aviane but instead they gave me Falmina stating it generic for Aviane.  My first month on it, I experienced no side effects which kinda scared me cause I thought it wasn't working. But now I'm in my second month and I thought I continued to be side effect free until I've become crazy depressed, angry, irrational, anxiety, and I blamed it all on the fact that it is the end of my semester so I have a ton of finals and stuff to worry about. But as I was just taking my BC I decided to check the reviews just because... and almost everyone is experiencing these same side effects."


"I am allergic to penicillin and related drugs so my options mostly relate to tetracycline and its relations. For me that has been doxycyline. I have used it for respiratory & sinus/gum infections. This time I developed severe pain in the sinuses, significant discharge of  nasty mucus with coughing, body aches, and bilateral ear pain resulting in dizziness.  This occurred 3 days after I returned from a 14 day trip through the Southwestern states. Dr did a full exam. Temps were in 99.9 to 101.7 at first. It took about 4-5 days @ a dose 100x2 per day but it is working. I still have aches and ears still blocked somewhat with some dizziness but hoping that will clear. Tomorrow is day 7. Dr will check in@ day 10. So far so good."


"Best drug ever for rheumatoid arthritis. Should not be taken off the market. Not every drug is for every person. Look at Penicillin. Bring it back now!"


"I am 20 years old and have been on birth control pills since I was 16. Because I suffer from chronic migraines and an aura, I could no longer be on the pill and so my doctor recommend Skyla. He said it would be a little uncomfortable and mostly quick and painless. So I had Skyla placed on Friday and today is Monday. However, the insertion was extremely painful. I didn't take anything prior to appointment as I see many other people did and I wasn't numbed in any way. The procedure itself took around 7 minutes but afterwards I felt extremely light headed and almost passed out, so I had to lay down for quite a few minutes and vomited. The initial cramps were pretty bad 7/10 in pain but after about an hour they stopped. I have felt great since!"


"This is the best birth control I've had. It's so easy to remember and you just slap it on and don't have to worry about it for a week. It cleared up my skin significantly, made my periods shorter and lighter, and helped with cramps. I gained about 6 pounds but for me that was helpful and went up about half a cup size but again, perfectly okay with that! The only bad effect I've seen is a little skin irritation where the patch was when I take it off. A little lotion and it goes away though. Only spotted one day. Love this!"


"Beware of this birth control. At first I started off with the 1.5 Gildess fe and it was beautiful no breakouts or anything. Since I did well with that, my

Doctor upgraded me to Gildess 1/20 and for the past 3 months I started it in March.

I have been experiencing the worst side effects. Even with me not missing any pill and taking them at the right time.  I feel like I'm pregnant and I'm not. It's to the point where I had taken 3 pregnancy test and they came out negative and is going to take another test since this medication is really making me think that and I just want to be sure.

Talk to your doctor to see what birth control is the best for your body hormones."


"5 days 5 lbs down. The nausea is making me sick. I hope it goes away soon. Not sure I can handle nausea every day for much longer. DO NOT HAVE ANY ALCOHOL on Contrave. I had 2 glasses of wine in 5 hrs, vomiting all night as if it was my first time having a glass of wine."


"Started the med last week Friday and started itching from head to toe. Not too bad the itching but uncomfortable while sleeping. By morning it subsides  a bit and back again when I take the medication at night.
Has anyone  experienced the same itch.  Thinking of stopping  the med."


"I've had normal bm for all of my life (34) until recently with a 2 week bout of constipation. I've been popping out number 1's on the bristol scale bidaily. Tried a little mineral oil, olive oil, mass hydration, stool softeners, and a change of diet. No change. Frustrated i was told "dulcolax was where it was at, just take 2 and you'll have the best poop of your life". This was so far from the truth. I'm on my second day of missed work of a 3 day ordeal. My insides feel like they have been detached. I can feel the entirety of my large intestine from tip to tail. Car rides and seat belts, laughing, sneezing, sudden movements in general reverberate pain through my colon. This is all after that nightmare of a night described by others here."


"since my new gastro couldn't be bothered to actually think about what might be wrong with me, she threw two weeks of Xifaxan at me, because, hey, if you can't figure out what a patient has, they must have IBS.
my stomach is now so hard and bloated I can't wear my clothes, I can't sleep form the pain, I'm constipated (first time in my life!) and now, from the huge bloated stomach, which never goes down, really, it just goes from horrible to 9 months pregnant,  I am having problems with sleep apnea.  it's a nightmare.
DO NOT LET YOUR DOCTOR GIVE YOU THIS DRUG IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SYMPTOMS THAT THIS DRUG IS FOR.  do the research on line.  protect yourself.  do not trust your doctor.  i did.  what a mistake."


"Works Great!
I can take it whenever I want during the day, no diarrhea and no abdominal pain."


"On it since 01/2016, emotionally and mentally, I feel so much calmer. I used to explode for everything. I have yet to have an argument with my husband since the pill officially started working in my system. I feel so much happier! I haven't lost weight but I do feel less bloated. My heart rate is down.

Cons: back acne (not even as a teen did I have acne), a lot of heartburn (especially at night), I notice these side effects get worst if I don't take it at my usual 4am. I know it says to take it at least 30 minutes before a meal but I feel better if I wait at least three to four hours before I eat. Biggest observation to control side effects is the timing at which I take the pill, 3am to 4 am works the best for me."


"I hate this drug. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I have to take it 4 times a day for 14 days.  My doctor is sadistic.  I'm so nauseous I can barely breath. Even on anti-nausea meds! I have no energy. I can't sleep. My head hurts. This feels 10x worse than the flu.

But it works. It will help heal the diverticulitis. It always does. And every time it sucks."


"I first started phentermine 37.5 on 5-8-2015 lost 31lbs in two months took a break in Aug and tried the HCG but failed  I went back on phentermine after that on September 1 also I have been on the b-12 I don't get a lot of the energy effect on phentermine plus am clinically depressed so it's difficult to just get things done so the b12 helps me a lot. I only worked out until my b12 shot was out of my system when I went to the doc yesterday I was down 8lbs making my loss 39lbs in 4 mnths minus the month I tried HCG"


"From day 1 of using Complera have had only one side effect and that was an increased metabolic rate for the first month.  Clearly Complera was fighting HIV in that month.  In the first week of taking Complera I could feel it working and I felt amazing.  Having been on Complera now for over 4 months I forget I am HIV positive as I feel totally normal with this medicine."


"Hello everyone I'm here as a frequent user of both the prescribed pill the obgyn gives u for yeast and also over the counter miconazole products.. I recently went to obgyn and got prescribed the pill, didn't work, don't know why because this wasn't my first time taking and it worked the first so I went to my trusted 7 day miconazole pack that works everytime I have tried it which has been about 3 times. LADIES MICONAZOLE ALWAYS BURNS BAD! Your walls are chapped and distressed from yeast infection so this medication is healing that. Its not pretty but it gets the job done ok! Of course 1 day ovule which I've ALSO tried is very bad and leaky why I will no longer try BUT its processed to cure the whole infection in ONE sitting..of course it hurts more lol"


"The taste gets worse as you go. Make sure to plug your nose for best results. It started working within 5 minutes. I was on and off the toilet for 4 hours and was bleeding from wiping so much :/ the following morning I got up at 3 am for my next dose, I couldn't finish the tail end of the liquid. By that time, everything should be yellowish or clear. My procedure was at 1:30 and went easy! The hardest part is prep. I lost 6 lb over night after using suprep!"


"This has been very effective at helping me control panic disorder with agoraphobia. I am on 2mg 2 times a day and have been for 5 months or so.

I have not found it to be a panacea; I still have occasional attacks that require the intervention of regular alprazolam 0.5mg, but, in general, this medication has been helpful in evening out my feelings of anxiety throughout the course of a typical day and certainly helps to eliminate some of the rebound anxiety that comes with the use of regular alprazolam.

"


"I have been taking 100 mg of Zonegran daily for about a month, and have noticed a reduction in the amount and severity of my migraines."


"I can be in public places comfortably"


"I have been on Trileptal for nearly two months. I have tried many medications because I am drug resistant. I take three tablets during the day. When I take a tablet I can feel a very comfortable soothing in about 30 - 40 minutes. This lasts for a few hours then I need to take another tablet. This is the best medicine yet. At least Trileptal provides quick relief."


"Have been on this for 3 years now. Started when I was 16. First my boobs grew rapidly 2 cup sizes. It also gained a little weight but not very much and it went away after I was on it a few months, but my breasts have remained larger. Periods are very regular with very little bleeding.  I have not always been one to practice save sex... And have had no pregnancy scares."


"I took minocycline 100 mg for over 6 months then my Doctor put me down to 50mg every other day, when I was on 100 mg once a day it was great skin was so nice clear and smooth, now the 50mg every other day not that greatest, I also use a topical cream he *benzycline* or something like that, I started to break out again my skin is not smooth I know stress is a huge factor on breaking out but I don't what to do, I am going back to my Doctor to see what he suggest I am 32 years old and I want to be off this medication I want to start trying to kids soon so I don't want be on this  I just want my zits gone for good.. I am starting to get a few on cheeks and around the chin area so frustrating and depressing.

anyone have any suggestions?"


"I was prescribed Yaz but my doc told me to ask for the "generic brand" and so I did as directed. However I had only looked up reviews for Yaz but not for Vestura the generic brand. I settled and after getting home I did my research on Vestura. Now I realize birth controls will effect people differently and there are going to be great reviews and terrible ones but vestura only had terrible reviews. I took Vestura anyway and wow biggest mistake ever!!! DO NOT TAKE VESTURA! SPEND THE MONEY ON YAZ! Vestura made me have the worst mood swings, crying for hours about nothing, and then hyper the next minute. For the 3 weeks I have been on Yaz I have been 100% myself, even lost 6 pounds and skin clearing! Love it!!!"


"After 37 years of knowing something wasn't right with my brain, I was diagnosed with ADHD, Inattentive Type in grad school and was prescribed Adderall. Where do I start??? This medication literally changed my life. Imagine being a "gifted" kid who eventually could barely pass middle school math - that's me. After a lifetime of compensating for my "slow processing," hiding my disorganization, and pretending to be on the same page with everyone else, this explains everything. Adderall has made a NIGHT AND DAY difference in my motivation level, what I understand and follow, and even my mood/emotional reactivity. In a word, amazing. If I ever meet the people who "discovered" Adderall, I'm kissing them - my husband agrees."


"Every persons experience is different and let me tell you reader I am super sensitive and I don't like medicine at all. It took me 3 YEARS to actually have an IUD and my original reason was anemia but I also want birth control. I took my time and visited my doc several times making sure my body was ready. I eat all organic and I exercise regularly. The day of my procedure I took 1 Advil and 1 shot whisky.  Procedure lasted less than 1 min and my pain level was about a 5. I took the rest of my day lying in bed with a hot pad and bled for 2 days (spotting) 5 days after zero pain zero bleeding and sex! So glad I did it !! I'm 48 with a small frame and my procedure was 4/5/17 I'd do it again !!!"


"I have given this through IV at the hospital for migraine without being warned of side effects. Within 15 minutes my entire body felt like it was on fire and I felt unbearably agitated and insane. I was writhing in the bed and gripping at my face and they told me it would pass.  It took a benadryl and about 45 minutes to calm down. Reglan was probably the scariest experience of my life."


"I have the same situation as what was described by momto3b2g. Basically started from week 7: spotting to pantyliner to regular pad (week 11). When you read the forum, the "endless period" problem was brought up quite often,  but was never mentioned as the possible "side effects"."


"This is the most horrible thing I've ever tried to get down!! It works really well if you can actually bring yourself to swallow it. There has to be something that's not this horrific!"


"I've been on topimax for about 3 months. 25mg 2x a day.  It's definitely effective in controlling my appetite. It took a little time by became more effective with time. I am able to eat very small portions and have full control over myself.  I have changed to healthy eating. Less bread and pasta. More brown rice, veggies, sweet potatoes. I still fry veggies in olive oil. Still eat a baked potato sometimes. But cut way back on portions and added snacks between meals.  Then every 3 days I be sure to eat something a little more fattening and it makes me lose weight.  For salad dressing, oil and vinegar with seasoning packet. No sweet tea etc. Lots of water. I walk daily too! started weighing 267, now down to 225. I'm confident I'll lose 85 lbs"


"For some reason this is the only pain killer I can tolerate. I have been prescribed different types of medicines and they are either to strong or don't work. The only problem I have is when you tell the doctor this they act like you are a addict, which I am not. I am just telling them what works for me so I don't waste my money on a script that doesn't work. Doctor's can't figure out why I have chronic pain."


"This actually elevated my blood pressure dramatically and induced tachycardia and also gave me terrible headaches and nasal congestion.  *Same as another user above.  How odd."


"For the past few years I have been suffering from severe anxiety and depression, when my Doctor put me on 0.5 mg I didn't know if it would help or not, but in just a month or 2, my life has changed a lot for the better. I've been more self confident, and going out more. It really does help. As people have mentioned before take the lowest dosage that suits you. It really is a great treatment for anxiety. Though everyone is different, if you're running out of options you should definitely ask your Doctor about it!"


"I have been using the cream for many years. I have found that it has been wonderful for keeping my feet, knees, elbows and face soft and smooth."


"I initial got the Nexplanon February 2015, so I've had it for a year and some months. I bled lightly for the first month than nothing after that. I just noticed spotting for the first time after a year and 6 months. Hopefully it won't last long because I don't like periods and don't want to have any. Other than that I have not experienced any side effects up until now. I never break out with acne but have just started. I'm already an emotional person since before the implant so I don't want to say it's caused mood swings. It's worked wonders for me thus far. The spotting after a year startled me but I assume it's normal after doing some research. I don't have any complaints and plan on using this method again after my 3 years are up."


"Cipro works well for me without incurring any noticeable negative side effects. Strangely though, I get many of the terrible side effects described by some here when taking levofloxacin - the insomnia, the crippling panic attacks, etc. It just goes to show, I suppose, how differently these meds affect different individuals."


"Like most people have said, Yaz changed my life. I've been on it for a few years for PMDD and I can really tell a huge difference. Before PMDD I was severely depressed and suicidal. Now, I'm barely even moody. As a 21 year old though, I'm worried about relying on Yaz for the rest of my life. "


"My Urologist suggested 5 mg Tadalafil (cialis) for my Benign Prostate (BPH) problem. Cialis also helped a lot for my ED.  Great erections and feel confident all the time. I now have 5 mg cialis every day since last one year. I have experienced no side effects so far. Works very well.
I get them from India where 4 x 20mg costs USD 3.00 i.e 0.75 cents per 20 mg tablet. I use only 1/4th of the tablet (5mg) every day. "


"Suicidal Thoughts, Mood irritability, lots of mental side effects. "


"My husband normally never has the hiccups but on the night of day 3 after having bowel resection surgery from diverticulitis, he was no longer passing gas.  Instead he was belching, burping and hiccuping. He would hiccup for hours then stop for a bit and this just kept going on and on increasing the pain of the surgical site and getting no sleep. On the night of day 6,Thorazine was added to his IV and within 10 minutes the hiccups were gone and he was finally sleeping comfortably."


"I've had this implant for exactly a year and one month. I haven't gotten pregnant but that's because since I've got the implant I've been on my period, it never stops, ever...it should be called no sex control "


"Excellent for obsessive thoughts, best depression lift in many years...BUT...I am going off of it after five weeks. The initial side effects I could deal with, the normal headache, grogginess, irritability but then after the fourth week I noticed a rare side effect of edema (water retention) of an average of 2.5lbs a day and on my last days 3-4lbs. It was serious. It also caused extreme sugar/carb cravings. That I can control, the water I cannot."


"I have been taking this medicine for 1.5 years, and it has been a life changer. I have generalized anxiety and fibromyalgia, both of which affected my daily life. I began noticing mood changes immediately, and the pain subsided within a month or so. I am myself again, relaxed, level headed, and able to cope with everyday stress. The only side effect I have experienced was extreme night sweats. This has subsided, as most of Cymbalta's side effects do. I ask if you are questioning whether or not to stay on the Cymbalta or to wait it out, because the side effects fade and the positive effects increase."


"I've had a horrible experience with this birth control. It was my first time going on birth control so my doctor recommended gildess. I gained over 20 pounds in 5 months. I had a decrease in sex drive. I also had horrible mood swings, not just while I was pms'ing but all the time. I actually just stopped taking birth control because I hated the way it made me feel. If anyone has any recommendations for me that will make me feel a little better, I would appreciate it. this was the worst birth control though."


"This is day two for me taking the medicine, and already my face has broke, I'm very tired, and I feel anxious at times and like crying at others. I don't like it. I'm going back to latunda"


"Y'all are trippin. I was freakin out after reading these reviews and I took 3 so I was expecting the worst. I had no cramps, no nausea, no sweating, no problems at all. The only thing that kinda sucked was it took longer than I expected, considering I took 3. I drank 2 bottles of water after I took them because I saw a few people recommended it so that may be why I didn't have problems idk. But the stuff works if you take it with a bunch of water "


"Had either a urinary infection or intestinal. New to macrobid, in one day after taking the medicine I ran a 104.7 fever, was nauseous and hurt all over. Ran a fever off and on till I got off the med and started cipro.  Began noticing fatigue, brain fog and constant headaches. 10 weeks later I've been diagnosed with hypoxmia and am starting night time oxygen therapy. Already have RA, Sjogrens and Sarcoidosis, didn't need this drug complicating my life. Macrobid should be taken off the market!!!"


"I started this medication when I was 15 because I had extremely painful, irregular, and stressful periods. I never knew when it would start or end, and I almost always had to miss at least one day of school per period. It sucked.
When I started this medication, I did notice some spotting for the first month of use. I then had my period and I never spotted again!
It's been three years since I started this medication, and I've only gained 5 pounds in that time, so I'm assuming it's unrelated to the medication. I have not noticed any cravings, mood changes, or acne while on this medication."


"This medicine is wonderful for nausea. It helped me with a bad case of vertigo. I was so sick and it was like
a miracle how fast and effective it worked."


"Have been taking Cymbalta for 2 weeks now and the change in my pains and other symptoms is dramatic. Much less fatigue, pain, etc.  So far very little if any real side effects. I feel so much better in the morning. Wonderful for my Fibromyalgia symptoms!"


"Was taken off ambien and put on silenor. Three times the cost and does not help in the least."


"I have dealt with chronic depression most of my life & I am 65 years young.  I have been on so many pharmaceuticals over the years; starting at age of 23 (Valium, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Buspar, Effexor, Pristiq, etc) and Cymbalta for 15 years.  Current dose is 90 mg daily (1-60 mg & 1-30 mg).  I went to see a Psychiatrist at my Family Practice Docs suggestion we felt I needed a change.  I have also had Fibromyalgia for 25 years plus & collected disability. Cymbalta has had the most longevity with me because it also managed my Fibro.  1 month ago I started on 5 mg of Trintellix.  No side effects for 2 weeks.  Then she bumped up to 10 mg & no side effects except exhausted.  Removed 30 mg of Cymbalta & its’ been 2 weeks & I feel great.  I feel blessed – no side effects except being tired."


"I take 0.5 mg twice daily - actually Xanax worked slightly better, but my doctor believes Klonopon has less risk of addiction, so he prescribed it for long term use, which I need to treat panic disorder.  My panic disorder emerged as a young child and then went into remission from my twenties through my early forties, only to crop up again a few months ago.  I take 100 mg of Zoloft for depression and the Klonopin for the panic and I have my life back.  I do get a little tired each day, but my range of emotions are normal, not desperate, hopeless and fraught with terror of panic.  These medicines area a God send and I thank God daily for them."


"I started taking phentermine 2 1/2 months ago...thinking I weighed around 250lbs I decided to go to a weightloss clinic. At my 1st appointment I couldn't believe I actually weighed 336 lbs. I am 5'4 and 24 years old. I go to the clinic every Saturday to get weighed, get a B12 shot and also they give me my medicines for 1 week. The phentermine, amino acids, calcium, and a multivitamin. So after 10 weeks of a strict protein diet and at least 2 hours in the gym everyday I am now down to 269lbs. That's 68 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I wouldn't be able to stick to my diet without the phentermine. It definitely suppresses my appetite."


"I have been on amitriptyline for almost one year.  I was hesitant to take a daily medication and something that was for depression, which I did not feel I needed.  This medication has been a God send for me.  I have gotten maybe 3 headaches since I have been on it, one severe and the others mild.  I have not had weight gain.  I am able to lead a normal life now whereas before my activities depended on whether I had a headache or not."


"A cancer patients best friend. I find it horribly constipating so I always take it with a stool softener."


"I promised myself I would write a review after this whole ordeal was over so, here it goes. I had unprotected sex on day 12 of my cycle. Upon realizing this, I rushed to the pharmacy to purchase Plan B as I am not on any birth control. I didn't experience any side effects until day four when the extreme nausea, sore breasts and cramping began. Ten days after taking the pill, I had what may or may not have been an extremely light period that lasted about a week. I still was experiencing all of the side effects, and at this point I was certain the bleeding was from implantation. I also developed extreme mood swings, and was convinced I was pregnant even though I had multiple negative pregnancy tests. Bottom line, it worked but made me insane!"


"I am responding very well to this medication (7.5 mg twice a day since 6/3/12) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (with associated panic attacks and depression). My anxiety is back down to a healthier level (not completely gone) and I'm not having as many panic attacks (they still wake me up in the middle of the night most nights). Overall, I feel less depressed (because I'm less anxious). I'm doing everything I can to help myself. I exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, don't smoke, don't drink, stay away from caffeine, and I read/listen to lots of self-help books/authors. It's not easy, but things are getting better. Buspar definitely helps."


"I get chronic UTI's and kidney infections.  I recently found out that my chronic infections have led to scarring of my left kidney and both ureters so I go in for a cystoscopy and Videourodynamics in December.  Cipro is the only thing that works for me.  It works fast too.   I usually get bad headaches with this medicine, but I am prone to headaches as well...lucky me.  I always make sure I take good probiotics when I am on this medicine to replenish the gut flora.  Bactrim is weak and never works...Cipro is the only thing that works for me and my body.  Everyone's body is different so do your research and talk to your doctor about your concerns."


"My son has ADHD (combined) and ODD. Unfortunately, the medication only help with his hyperactivity not his attention, plus he was still defiant."


"I have taken this a few times, for muscle spasms- due to whiplash and other injuries over the years. I am currently prescribed it once more for a pulled gluteal muscle, but this time I am only on 5 mg once a day at night, for two weeks. 10 mg simply knocks me out and leaves me feeling completely hungover and drained the next day. I gave it a 9 because sometimes it wakes me up with horrid dry mouth and it takes me a little longer to fully wake up in the morning."


"I have had migraines since my teens and until I was prescribed the Imitrex (Injectable), I suffered severely.  I thank GOD for this medicine and can't imagine life without it."


"They worked for me and I had smoked for almost 40 years.  I occasionally got the hiccups, but they were better than Cancer."


"I have had the Nexplanon since Dec. 27, 2016

I got my first period at the end of January and it lasted about a month and a half. In March of 2017 I didn't bleed for close to three weeks and then started bleeding again March 28th and have been bleeding every since. I have gained about 13 lbs so far since getting the birth control. Although for now the weight gain isn't a deal breaker for me but the bleeding is..  I am trying to be very patient to see how my body adjusts to the implant. It has been three months so far and I have my fingers crossed that my cycle will go away for awhile."


"Laid in bed for 2 days using this and nothing.  Wasted those 2 days I could have been out walking to prep naturally than this.  The range of effectiveness is ALL over the board. Did they even prepare a trail before marketing?"


"Was having some anxiety and depression issues due to many life factors. Was told that Wellbutrin would be a good option and that it was fairly mild. The first few days had the euphoric feeling everyone talks about, but this ended in 2-3 days. After that anger kicked in to the point where I was taking walks at 1am to calm down and relax. From there the weirdness kicked in. A feeling that's hard to describe but life got very flat. Didn't feel anything, just flat. I felt like I had a lobotomy or something. At a party last week a friend asked if I was stoned as I looked out of it. Then I forgot to take it one day and I felt great that day, joy, emptions, had fun. I then took it the next day and felt horrible.

Cold turkey and happy, not for me"


"I started sertraline 4 years ago and it has honestly helped my GAD so much! I still get panic attacks from time to time but that's my mind running away with me, and I'm only on the lowest dose of sertraline. I wouldn't have the confidence that I have today without this drug, and I certainly wouldn't be a good mother to my son, I would have no doubt been a depressed mess. This has helped me see that there is a life outside of GAD and depression, no matter how hard it is to find...keep going. It's there."


"I am a 47 year old woman and for the last few weeks have suffered asthma-like symptoms, common when I have a cold. The doctor prescribed this as I wasn't getting better only using the inhaler. I took first dose at night, the next this morning and I have had diarrhea all day. Apparently stomach problems can be a side effect. While I know some medications have side effects when first starting, this is not tolerable. I will not continue and will see an allergist for possible other solutions. I am sure it is the advair."


"I got the Nexplanon in January of this year (2015). I have been bleeding ever since-8 months later. I've also been experiencing some pretty bad acne, which I never had a problem with previously.  Exhausted all of the time. Needless to say it's been a terrible experience."


"Thank you ladies for your comments. It's the only thing getting me through this. I'm laying on the floor extremely uncomfortable and laughing at people's descriptions. I got the 3-day. Night 1 seemed fine and helped things. But night 2 is like the evil twin - so much burning and itching. I'm trying to push through hoping it will subside so I can sleep. Debating about calling the ob in the morning. Don't know if I can do this again."


"Today is March 26, 2016. Today was my first day taking fastin, I was scared out of my wits when I first tried one this morning before breakfast, I waited for all the bad adverse effects that I had been hearing about, but nothing bad happened even after my second afternoon dose. It made me kind of sleepy for the first hour or so, then my energy kicked into overdrive! No side effects what-so-ever, unless not eating is a side effect. I can't wait until in the morning for day number two! I'll keep you guys posted...keep in mind I kept clear of all caffeine, because these things are loaded with caffeine as is. I didn't get a chance to weigh in yet, so I'll update you on my weight also."


"hey! I decided to write a review to put some peoples minds at ease.  I had unprotected sex march 17th and I took plan b march 18th (20 hours later) to be exact. Six days after I experienced spotting for a couple of days my period was supposed to be here April 6th and it never came. I wasn't too worried at first until I was more than a week late so I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, today April 21 I finally got my period I know it can be nerve wrecking but be patient! hope this helped :)"


"Fantastic pain relief. "


"I have been in chronic pain for the last five months, I have been prescribed medicine and nothing has helped... I have been online researching for myself.  I read the reviews for this this morning and went to pick up medication at the pharmacy and asked if it would interact with the 5 other meds I take. He said no so I went straight to pharmacy to get it.  I am AMAZED...this is the least amount of pain I have been in for 5 months... this pill is a God send and I thank the other people for writing reviews or I would have never tried it... greatly appreciated!"


"Day 6 for me. 0 energy & very nauseated.  Definitely no appetite.  Not so sure that I want to continue this."


"I would never use this again!!!! If you already have a bit of anxiety without it do not get it! I had it in for a year and suffered from more severe depression and anxiety than ever before. I got it removed two weeks ago and my anxiety has literally decreased so much."


"I used Chantix almost 3 years ago, after smoking for over 40 years, and am still smoke-free.  It really worked well for me.  My chest was always hurting, so I knew I had to do something in order to quit.  I tried the "patch"  three times, and always went back to smoking.  The only side effect I had from Chantix was a few strange dreams.  I never had any nausea or pain of any kind.  My brother-in-law recommended it and I am so glad he did."


"I been on the 1% packets.  I'm only taking 4 days per week...tue, thu, sat, sun.  My level was 200 and I'm 53.  I've only been on it 2 weeks and I still see mild increase in energy level.  My doctor prescribed once a day, but the price is very high without insurance so I'm trying to get more time for $$$.  Do any of you know how this usage pattern could affect the overall performance???"


"Chose Skyla over Mirena because less hormones and smaller in size. Insertion hurt soooooo badly, and I'm not sure having the IUD is worth it anymore. I've been on my 'period' for 3 weeks now, bleeding nonstop. Ever since I've had the iud inserted, my periods have become so irregular and long. In terms of birth control, it is effective. But nonstop bleeding isn't worth it."


"This birth control is okay. It was my first experience with taking the pill. The first month I had really bad nausea, but then it just went away. It also caused me to get frequent migraines. I've always been a migraine sufferer but there were more days with migraines than there were without. It helped a lot with my acne, it went from breaking out everyday to maybe once or twice every two weeks or so. It helped with the length and heaviness of my period and cramps weren't nearly as bad as they had once been. Unfortunately, I started getting two periods a month so my doctor changed my prescription."


"Depakote made some gain weight? It made me lose about 15 pounds all fat and I got chiseled abs I haven't had since 18. I stopped all substance intake including caffeine.

"


"Suffered all my life from eczema and Elocon is by far the most effective ointment I have used."


"perfect for chronic idiopathic urticaria"


"Intuniv has made a huge change in my sons attitude.  After being on Strattera for 1.5 years, it stopped working.  It may have been due to a growth spurt, but the sudden change was awful. Intuniv has made a tremendous change and is working.  Intuniv is time released and 1 mg/day does the trick.  I am having to play the insurance game to get it approved and currently have a discount card that sells it for $63.   It works great for my son and is worth every dollar it cost."


"Okay, I had this thing put in my arm 9 months ago. I've also had a very very heavy period for 9 months. After 5 months of non-stop bleeding, I asked my doctor to take it out. She refused and put me on estrogen pills. 4 months later and I'm still bleeding. I have no energy, depressed, I can't lose weight at all even when working out & eating healthy. Horrible, horrible experience."


"Tips for completing this prep:

1. Use half orange or citrus Vitamin Water or Gatorade, half regular water, to make the solution. The vitamins and minerals help reduce unpleasant side effects.

2. Mix prep ahead of time and refrigerate for two hours or more.

3. Use a straw to drink the solution.

4. Drink water, apple juice, white grape juice or other clear liquids as a chaser.

5. Before the prep, during, and after, drink a lot of water. This gives your body something to evacuate and keeps you hydrated through the process. I cannot stress this enough.

6. Grimace and bear it. While not a fun process, this prep is one of the better ones out there.

Cheers."


"after trying all ssri for 3 months i tried this snri and within 4 days i felt better. my depression and anxiety were reduced and after one month i m absolutely fine. it has proven to be lifesaver for me. i fully recommend it."


"This is my second time to take it. I took 150mg ten years ago when had depression and since it worked for me before, the doctor prescribed it again. I've been on it for two weeks. The first week took 150 mg. Then doubled the dose to 300mg per doctor's instructions. I could feel the space between my ears the first day doubled and couldn't focus. Then my anxiety went off the chart for four days, panic attacks, crying, nightmares. Doctor put me back on 150mg. It's only been one day on lower does, the anxiety is now gone and I'm starting to feel much better. It doesn't make me lose my appetite very much, it does increase my libido, and it does get rid of the depression but it takes three, up to four weeks for it to fully work. Doesn't help my ADHD."


"I was prescribed the medication after my gastric bypass surgery for psychotic episodes. I take it at bedtime. It has truly changed my life. If I miss one dose it is very noticeable. The only side effect is a weight gain of about 6 pounds every four months. But is definitely worth it."


"Helps me wake faster in the morning. Thinking clearer. Helped me get over sexual dysfunction (SSRI induced years ago. Stopped SSRIs, but residual emotional scarring remained). Was on Lamictal and Depakote. Exchanged the Depakote for Wellbutrin XL and my girlfriend commented I went from boy to man in less than a month. Superb concentration and continuous connected thought."


"This is my 2nd Nexplanon the first go around was fine I didn’t experience the mood swings or anything of that nature.. however towards the end I had my period for almost a month straight... my 3 yrs was up and I got it again hoping it would be different and NOPE!! I had my regular period last week and all of a sudden I’m starting it yet again! It’s starting to become a pain in the butt constantly bleeding and such! Granted I like not having to take a pill but I’m starting to not like these frequent periods!"


"I had terrible acne this summer. But now I take Monodox twice a day as soon as I wake up then I take the second pill after I workout in the evening. It has never made me nauseous as it has others. And I get nauseous from vitamins. So I'm shocked that Monodox doesn't make me sick. The only side effect I experience is more frequent trips to the bathroom. My skin is currently pimple free...now to just conquer the acne scars!"


"Have had a long history of having "racing" thoughts.  Finally after many years and missed diagnoses with accompanying different medicines, my current Psych Doctor said that I might have a touch of obsessive compulsive disorder. He placed me on 25mg per day for a week, then 50 mg per day.  Finally, I feel much better and my mind is finally more at rest.  I was supposed to increase the dose to 75 mg after one week, which I tried for one day, but I had some weird side-effects that I attributed to the 75 mg dose.  Back at 50mg and am happy with the results.  Time will tell."


"Prescribed Levaquin for 5 days. 5 to 10 days after completing medication, which killed the pneumonia, I started to have joint pain. Now, over two months after taking this medication I am pretty much disabled. I have what is now called Fluoroquinolone induced tendonapathy in my shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. I also suffer from neurological changes that effect my sense of touch and I feel like I am suffering from mild electric shocks all over my body. I wish I would not have been given this antibiotic. It has slowly destroyed my quality of life."


"Great for pain and inflammation."


"Was on Coumadin for 4 years.  Walked away due to headaches daily.  Got another clot.  It may have been worth the couple months of no headaches, no fussy head, no feeling stupid, loosing my sight (which is old age, but still the timing), but the anxiety of knowing my body will clot along with a new clot put me back on Coumadin.  Finally got the news about Xarelto.  Life changing to say the least.  No way to reverse dose, I take the risk for a better life.  Besides the half life is only 5 to 9 hours for under 45 yr old and 11 to 13 hours for older.  Take it with dinner and you are sleeping that whole time."


"Started Week 4 : 2 pills am/2 pills pm
Severe Thyriod, Autoimmune and Hashimotos.
-5'9 | 183 | BMI 27
-Plant Protein shake, two salads with protein daily, and with healthy snacks in between

-No weight loss in three weeks
-Food and sugar cravings VERY present
-Alcohol cravings present
-Dry mouth
-Odd after taste through the day
-Severe nausea, bloating and cramping
-Constipation
-Trouble falling asleep and then not getting quality sleep

I plan to stick this out 8 weeks, then I'm out."


"The potential side effect list became my life.  I got everything, the extreme sweating,  nausea,  dry mouth,  constipation... all of it.  Had to stop going to my daily kickboxing classes completely because I'd get dizzy and throw up every five minutes until I stopped working out.  I had to plan taking it around being able to spend two hours in bed not moving in air conditioning just to keep it down.  Saw 0 effect on mood, I was switched to a new one yesterday and hopefully life gets better."


"I was on the 0.1 cream started Oct 2014 and ended early March.. I got it for whiteheads and uneven skin tone. After 4 1/2 months whiteheads diminished but left with even more scarring. We are going in to May and my skin hasn't healed. Just ugly red chickenpox on my face. :( Another con about this product I see that my skin texture isn't the same. When I was on it it was smooth but after I finished the tube it's just dull and my pores are huge.  It just looks terrible and so much thinner, and my skin tone is still uneven It's depressing how much this cream has given me the uglies. It aged my skin 20 yrs. I'm only 23 and female btw. I don't know what to do now."


"This medicine works miracles when I need it."


"I took this for a routine "you're 50 now" colonoscopy prep.   This stuff was pretty easy peasy to deal with - not getting to eat for 38 hours was worse!  It tastes like salty cherry cough syrup (minus the boozy taste).  My doc told me to drink it ice cold, mix with some lemonade mix powder, sip it with a straw, pour it over ice to keep it cold, and drink it over 30 mins to an hour.  I have a pretty strong gag reflex and have a hard time swallowing or keeping down anything nasty tasting but this stuff really wasn't that bad.  It didn't upset my stomach, give me cramps or anything.  It did its job in about 2-3 hours with no side effects or issues.  I would def go this route if I ever have to again."


"I would not be able to perform the daily routine of tasks that I have before me without the help of actiq during the day."


"I'm a mom in my 40s and though my life should have been happy (great husband and kids) I was constantly worried, paranoid, combative, and quick to anger.  It took months to convince myself to call a psychiatrist but finally I did.  At first she put me on effexor but I hated it (brain zaps, teeth clenching, nausea, lethargy) I tried to hang in there but after 6 months I asked for something else.  She gave me Cymbalta.  WOW is all I can say.  No real side effects and most importantly, I'm laughing and smiling again.  I don't feel angry all the time anymore and for the first time in years I'm calm.  I also suffer back pain and it is seriously lessened with Cymbalta.  I pray my insurance continues to pay for it."


"Finally, something I can count on.  Mimics the pancreas...in and out with no hypo events, period.  Love it."


"I was given Mirtazapine as an add on to my treatment with Zoloft for major depression and anxiety. Made me extremely tired to the point where I almost couldn't form a sentence and didn't care about anything but sleeping (and eating). It did help a little with the anxiety, but not at all with the depression, it made it worse since I had no energy whatsoever."


"Great experience. Totally cured my anxiety but habit forming. Works wonders."


"I was administered Propofol for a colonoscopy for the first time. I did work like magic - fast out, fast in. But as I got home, I began sneezing, had itchy eyes and tears, itchy and running nose like I had a severe cause of allergy, which I never had before. The nurse called me the next day and asked how I was doing. When I described my symptoms, she said it is in no way related to what was done to me during colonoscopy. I was unconvinced and Googled propofol's side effects. I am glad that quite a few people had the same side effect of Propofol. I wish doctors and nurses know about this and warn their patients, and recommend a remedy. This side effect is not a big deal, but I wish I knew about it and was prepared. I hope it subsides soon."


"My husband was diagnosed with MDS, no symptoms. He worked out at gym 5 days a week, had just retired, was enjoying life. At Dr's urging, he started on Vidazia. This was supposed to prevent MDS from going into leukemia and buy time to prepare for bone marrow transplant. He took daily treatments for 5 days, was sick with flulike symptoms, then had breathing complications. The following week, he is in excruiating pain, was hospitalized in ICU FOR 2 weeks, died a horrible death. Pain that no amount of pain meds would control. His last 2 days were in Hospice, so that he could receive the highest doses of narcotics, that can only be administered at end of life. Death certificate read " multi organ failure ".  Vidazia destroyed his internal organs"


"I have been on Anastrozole for 13 months now.  Initially I had some joint pain but that has subsided.  A little weight gain, however after receiving a walking monitor for Christmas I have been on a walking program.  I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day.  The result has been a 17 pound weight loss since December.  I feel terrific and am full of energy.  I will soon have my 64th birthday and am overjoyed that I am cancer free and am able to manage the medication."


"I started sleep walking on this medicine. My wife found me sitting on the kitchen floor with a bottle of her red wine and I'm told that I asked her if we were in San Francisco Or San Jose. This stopped my 28 years plus of continued sobriety. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance they thought I might of had a stroke. I didn't. It was an Ambien blackout. I have a very close friend here in San Jose who owns a Recovery home. He told me that his place is filling up with people being pulled over driving around town in their Pajamas while thinking they are home in bed. Ambien might be great for some people, but for folks like me it has evil effects. Please be careful people."


"Experienced many side effects, blood sugar was higher than before I was placed on Actos.  My doctor took me off of it immediately.  After she did, I felt great."


"In a matter of 3 years gained 44 lbs and had numerous softball size ovarian cysts. I ran and ate healthy, no change in diet (trained for marathon) and continued to gain weight. Breast pain and acne."


"I have been on Gabapentin for 15 months.  My dose is two 600mg tablets a day for a total of 1200mg in a 24-hour period. I was prescribed Gabapentin for alcoholism first, anxiety second.  This medication is a God send.  After drinking 10-15 alcohol drinks a day for 40 years, within a week I quit and had no side effects from withdrawal - plus the anxiety went away. I do NOT crave alcohol at all.  It is so weird.  I thought it wouldn't work until I tried it - and it does work!  It was THAT quick.  I suggest everyone with an alcohol problem that wants to quit but is deathly afraid to do so, ask your doctor for gabapentin.  It is non-addictive like benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax).  AA never worked for me.  Gabapentin, IMO replaces AA."


"Just finished my second course of two weeks on/two off/two on.  I pray this works! The side effects I experienced were between moderate  to severe (flu like, headache, upset stomach). My nose looks like I burned off the entire end/tip.  It is very sore, crusting, oozing- very ugly. But if this is the price I pay for the medicine to hopefully work, I've sucked it up!  I had MOHS March of 15 and the new treatment spot is adjacent to the old scar.  Praying this works..."


"So I recently slept wrong and thought I had a stiff neck that it would go away. I was wrong 3 days later it got worst and worst that I couldn't move my head down or to the right or upward. I was prescribe 10mg  twice a day but I just took it once a day with naproxen an anti inflammatory. Plus rubbed vicks on the area which my puerto rican mother swears it works wonders lol.
Yes it makes u super sleepy but it was a great sleep no complaints. And in 24hrs and 48hrs later. I can do my pt exercises without pain and I feel great about 70% improvement. I still have to continue to stretch and massage the area. This is helping. Everyone responds differently though."


"Don't waste your money....Its all in your head. You think it is working, but it is your mind playing tricks"


"Requip has given me 4 years of regained fine motor skills, word retrieval and executive functioning. It has been the only medicine I have taken for my parkinson 's disease. The disease marches on, but I can drive, work with young children and take care of myself. I have been blessed, even though each day I can feel the loss of automaticity and coordination. Requip has caused narcolepsy and visual hallucinations that have been quite unique, not scary!"


"Overall diclegis has definitely reduced my nausea, so that I don't want to die 24/7. I can still notice the nausea some, especially when it gets closer to the next dosage. I am on 4 a day. It took two days to lessen the nausea, and I've still been vomitting once a day on average, and holding more back. I still need to keep stomach full, but at least I can drink sips of water and eat some food, other than only toast.  The first three days I was a zombie. Now I can stay awake with caffeine in morning, a nap in afternoon. I don't know if i can return to work because I am so sleepy, which is the major negative. I was also constipated the first several days. I hate taking medicine, but i have two children to care for and was getting dehydrated."


"I am about to finish up my fifth pack of Lo-Loestrin.  Lately I've been noticing a weight gain, even though I have changed my diet and started working out 3-4 times a week.  I have gained about 10 lbs in the last 4 months and continue to gain 1lb per week.  At first I didn't think it could have anything to do with this pill, now I'm starting to wonder.  My skin has been clearer and I have not had a period or bleeding at all since I started this pill.  But the weight gain is a big deal for me.  My breasts have gotten bigger and are a lot more tender.  Mood swings have been tremendous, didn't notice a change in sex drive.  I think everyone is different and every birth control you take is going to affect each woman differently."


"When I got Nexplanon I bled for 6 months straight, however, my period was light and manageable (I was very active in sports). My doctor prescribed an oral birth control to help regulate my flow and I took it for three weeks. I didn't get my period for the next 18ish months. The last year of my BC came with very irregular spotting and occasional periods. With Nexplanon, I noticed my mood was pretty sensitive when I was bleeding. I did not experience any weight gain. Overall, I have loved this birth control. My husband and I have used this as our SOLE method of protection and are confident with it."


"I just took Flomax today 2 1/2 hours ago and just passed my stone. I have had to have my stone surgically removed usually. This is fantastic. I will use next time I have an attack."


"Got a bad taste in theoat about 15 minutes after putting in. Lasted about 10 minutes.,it helps to suck on hard candy to keep taste at bay. I think it's working pretty good so far. I had a small growth on my eye from chronic dry eye (inflamation) this made it smaller dramatically."


"Waste of money. Helped my headache but its not like I needed to pay 10$ for 20 bloody Ibuprofens... had plenty at home already. I usually take a single cold pill and I'm good for half a day with barely ever having to blow my nose, and can sleep a full night without a problem. With this stuff however, I took 6 today and I kept blowing my nose ever 1-2 mins regardless. Wasted my money and now I can't get any sleep at all because of the constant cough and runny nose."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis eight years ago and have been on many concoctions of pills since. When I got really bad flares that rendered me disabled I was treated with prednisone. For me this has been a miracle. I have had it injected into affected joints and also general injections. When direct into joints, the relief is almost instant, I could walk, move my hands like a miracle. When injected generally, it took three or four separate injections over 3-4 days before any improvement but it worked every time. I have to say, I don't know what I would have done over the years without prednisone. The side effects I suffered where weight gain and insomnia but these where better than being in agony and disabled."


"I'm getting older and my hormones are changing, (I'm 28) but being on TriNessa this time around, my breasts have been sore for 2 weeks, and my normally clear skin has now turned into a breeding ground for bright red painful acne cysts.  I've only been on it for 1 month, but I'm going to give it a couple more months.  On the bright side, I'm not pregnant."


"Best thing I ever took, tried everything and this worked . Dont be put off by negativity on the web,Its a wonder pill and you end up with clear skin"


"Please please please.......If your doctor suggests this drug to you, do your research. I am 18 and just put full trust in my doctor when she told me to take it. 7 months later and I wish I never ever took it. I usually take my 150mg dose when I wake up in the morning and now I cannot even go until 11 pm at night if I forget to take it without having withdrawals. I experience nausea and feel uneasy on my feet as well as shakiness. It is ridiculous and  I write this to stress that this is not a light topic. BE CAREFUL!!!!!"


Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis after Knee Replacement Surgery

"Broken femur resulted in blood clots that caused life threatening embolism. I was given the generic warfarin and rapidly devoped THRUSH. Switched to brand name COUMADIN and recovered after 9 days in hospital."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I was diagnosed with AIDS in August 2015.  My CD4 count was 79 and my viral load was 148,000.  I started taking Stribild and after  3 weeks my CD4 count went up to 294 and my viral load was 50.  I have had very little side effects. Unbelievable that in just 3 weeks I am pretty much undetectable!  I kiss my bottle of Stribild everyday!  I appreciate that Gilead has a copay program!"


"My taking Lyrica was in combo with Tegretol and a few others.  It made my finger ends and toe ends  tingly and numb at times. It did help my Face Pain a bit. But then the skin on my finger ends split constantly and then the inside of my mouth began to peel constantly as well.   Ugh!     I had to go off of it as it simply was not helping my situation of Face Pain, however, I can see where it MAY work for diabetic or MS pain of toes and fingers."


"I'm 24 years old and have suffered anxiety and Panic disorder now for 2 years. Unfortunately my diagnosis was not made until 6 months ago and before that I was severely stuffed around by the medical profession making my Panic and anxiety that much worse. I'm on to day 16 of this medication and i'm hoping it is yet to take full effect. I have definitely noticed an improvement as I haven't had a full blown attack for 2 weeks however I still think of them and feel them coming on daily, this may well be a habitual thing though and from what I've read it can take 4-6 weeks so i'm feeling hopeful. I had all the side effects but these were easy compared to the panic attacks I was experiencing. I'll check in soon to see if that switch has flicked:)"


"Been on Lamictal for about 5 yrs after many yrs of antidepressants and anxiety medicines. About 6 yrs ago after a very traumatic experience with losing my boys and husband nothing worked anymore, I started having stress induced seizures, some very serious! They put me on Lamictal and my periods of mania and mind racing slowly stopped, my restless legs syndrome went away. I actually started to feel and not be a robot. Side effects for me are drowsiness and slight weight gain (8 lbs), I'd gain any amount to feel normal. One VERY important fact to remember is dosage! Everyone has different amounts that work, and don't ever skip or adjust dosage on your own! I did it and paid the price. Hope this helps! I feel grateful to my doc for prescribing."


"I been taking these for a few months now after an abortion. So far so good! It is effective in preventing pregnancy. My face is clear ( no acne) , my periods are very short and light ( was 5 days and heavy before), I have no cramps or breast soreness during or before periods. Only thing I had was spotting and nausea in the beginning of taking them. Other than that, this is a good pill for me."


"I have taken trazodone for about 15 years. I was started on a 50 milligram dose. During a stressful job change; I spoke with my doctor and went up to 100 milligrams.  However I felt the 50 milligrams work better for me."


"Implanon was my first form of birth control ever used. It has been very effect for me over the past 3 years. I am due to have it removed soon and plan on having another inserted. The process to have it put in was pretty easy. Hopefully removal is easy as well.  I liked that it was in my arm. It did change my cycle. I didn't have a period for the first 6 months I was on it, and then it returned to normal after."


"I've suffered severe anxiety/panic attacks my entire life. I've had Xanax, Valium, Prozac and Edronax over the cause of my years. I finally changed doctor, came off everything, to start where I'm at now. I began on 37.5mg over two weeks ago and noticed a difference straight away. Now on 75mg and getting better every single day. My panic attacks could cause me to pass out, so this is a huge leap in health for me. For those concerned about coming off Xanax, it's so worth the effort. I now feel like I'm getting my life back and I'm truly grateful."


"I have tried the generic version (extended release) after using brand name Toprol XL.  The generic did not work well for me. After a few days it felt like I hadn't taken the medicine. Toprol XL works great, and when i swapped back to the original I felt great again. There must be some difference in the release between the two. This med brings the BP into 120's over low to mid 70's range where I was reg 140's/90's. It also helps bpm from mid 90's down to upper 70's."


"I have struggled with depression and anxiety for some time, now. I was initially worried that the stimulating effects would exacerbate my anxiety, and it did--but only temporarily. Wellbutrin XL 300mg has been the ONLY antidepressant that has worked. I take it in combination with Effexor XR 75mg. I was taken off Wellbutrin in an attempt to switch to Effexor only, but it became quickly apparent that Wellbutrin controlled most of the depressive symptoms. I stopped it for 2 months--both of which were awful. Within a week of resuming Wellbutrin, my depression began to lift. I still have bad days, of course, but the effects of Wellbutrin make me more energized and ready to take on the world."


"I used the 1 day tioconazole cream, not the suppository. I have used the suppository before WHICH SUCKS and it hurt like hell fire in my vagina however it worked, so I was nervous to try the 1 day cream, but I have been on antibiotics for a week and got a yeast infection as a result so I used monistat expecting terrible pain. However there was NO pain at all. One hour in, I got out of bed and walked around causing an intense itch but I laid down and it went away after about 15 minutes. I woke up in the morning with no pain at all and no itchiness. My vagina is slightly sore, nothing unmanageable. I expect the soreness will go away by tomorrow morning like it did last time when I used the suppository. I would say this is very effective."


"I was given this Horrific medication as my provider thought I had pneumonia and after taking it for 8 days, I could hardly walk and my knees were stiff and I could not get up or put any weight on my legs. My hands were swollen and I could not make a fist or open my water bottle. This Drug should be taken off the market immediately!!!! How can a physician in good conscience prescribe this medication to anyone? I just hope that I am not a permanently crippled by this medication. My chest X-ray came back negative to I did not even need an antibiotic and just needed a cough medicine and Mucinex to clear up my cough. The one time I did not have time to read the drug information because I was moving and my doctor decides to prescribe me this!!!"


"I had the implanon inserted in October 2007 and loved it. Absolutely no change in me at all. No periods no weight gain nothing. I then decided to have another in October 2010. Nothing but trouble since. I'm moody 99% of the time. Have gained weight. Absolutely no sex drive, I'm 21. Luckily no periods but constantly feel pregnant. Took a test yesterday as I have had very tender nipples for days. Test negative thank god! I'm so emotional and will cry at the drop of a hat. Been lucky in some respect as I still haven't had a period. "


"Within 8 hours, I was experiencing severe chest pain and shortness of breath.  I ended up in ER with all the symptoms of a heart attack.  After 7 hours of tests, it was determined that Macrobid caused an extreme allergic reaction.  I've never been allergic to anything in my life, and I'm 53."


"I have been taking Chantix for 4 days now and it works great for quitting smoking, but the side effects are harsh. I get so sick on it and also I get so angry for no reason. I am yelling at everyone.  I have also been having problems with the depression.  If you have any of these problems then you should see your doctor."


"Melatonin is great for me I'm 14 and I can't sleep and I've taken 10 or 15 mg before, now I'm on 20 mg right now. "


"I was prescribed Omnicef for a sinus infection that caused fluid to collect behind my inner ear. It worked great for the first 6 days. Somewhere around the 7th day I developed terrible vaginal itching. Worse than anything I have ever experienced before. As soon as I stopped taking it the itching went away within 2 days. "


"I was addicted to heroin in high doses for almost a year and was unsuccessfully trying to get clean the whole time, getting all the way through cold turkey detox and relapsing once I felt better and the cravings took hold. I'd taken suboxone in the past but only because it got me REALLY high and not as a maintenance med. After a week clean with immense cravings I started on Zubsolv maintenance and have had almost zero cravings since.

I much prefer the taste and dissolve time to subs, however I do find that if I sleep in too long and don't take my morning dose on time I wake up very sick and start vomiting (extremely painful vomiting at that) until my dose kicks in after 30-60 minutes. I still highly recommend it, I have my life back!!"


"I just took generic singular for the first time. I usually take claritin, flonase, benadryl, and a few other allergy medications. I have also had allergy testing , and frequent sinus infections that need antibiotics . My nose is constantly congested and at night I have to use vapor rub under my nose so I can breathe My throat hurts daily from drainage. I only took the medication one hour ago and my whole face for the first time in a long time does not feel congested. My nose is not dripping and my eyes are not itchy anymore. Maybe it is just a coincidence but I really noticed generic singular working very fast. The only side effect I feel is a little sleepy. I hope I feel this way from now on since it is only day one taking generic singular"


"After two ablation procedures and numerous cardioversions were unable to keep me in rhythm I started taking 100mg amiodarone daily.  After a short period I was back in rhythm and have stayed that way for six months so far.  My only noticeable side effects have been unpleasant nightmares almost every night since I started taking amiodarone.  This could be coincidental.
"


"Can't believe how well this worked. I've become so scared when a migraine comes on that I almost didn't try this new drug but am I glad I did. A little achy around the neck area and felt a small amount of heaviness in the chest area but those symptoms went away quickly. The amazing part is that the headache didn't come when I took it as soon as the aura came.  Will be asking for a script for this one. "


"I gave it the benefit of the doubt and had 2 sessions worth of it..... it did prevent any pregnancies but at the risk of never bleeding. I don't know about yall but it scared the crap out of me! My sex drive vanished once I got on it. 10-20 lbs of weight was gained over the course of 4 1/2 years. finally got it out and still not bleeding.....not sure what all it screwed up...... good luck ladies!"


"The retrograde ejaculation is a terrible"


"i am on methadone for cauda equina nerve pain, and CRPS/RSD. If it was not for  the fentora i would be dead years ago. I needed something to knock out the pain fast, as i have bone on bone/nerves  in my lower back , no hardware, 2 emerg lamy's, nerves entrapped. Opana for breakthrough took too long, i waited as long as i could , 45 min to 60min. Be on floor in a ball with shocks every 6 seconds,and toes and feet sawed off. Body would Jolt . I would take another dose of opana and a couple time i almost woke up dead, in my own excrement. Only complaint i have on Fentora is that it is like a sweet tart, and you're not suppose to suck on them,  . I also have sore in my buccal area now"


"This is the best birth control I've been on. Previously, I had taken Depo Provera and my personality became very cold. Later, I was on Minastrin and I started getting ocular migraines. Freaked me out...never had them before. Doc put me on Lo Loestrin FE because of ovarian cysts and the pain associated with them has disappeared. Haven't had my period in over a year, but doc said it was ok not to have one. My emotions are less of a roller coaster. I still get PMS symptoms, cramps, and a pimple the week before my last pill, but FAR less severe. Love this pill. Only side effect I can think of is difficulty losing "some" weight, but I'd rather have that than what comes with not taking the pill."


"I was on this drug for many years. I took the 4mg dose 2 X and sometimes 3 X a day, without any problems. I did get skin sensitivity but that is genetic as my daughter also has it. I found the drug more effective taken with diuretic -Bendroflumethiazide up to 5 mg daily - but this caused gout eventually.

To be honest this is a good drug, given that I've tried many combinations of blood pressure medicines."


"I'm 16 and I've taken Vyvanse for months now and it helps a lot with minimal side effects. My mouth does get dry and I become less social but other than that its preferable to Ritalin, as Ritalin is much less smooth in terms of kicking in and wearing off and lasts a lot shorter."


"Previously, I had been using Ambien for a couple of years. What I found with that was that it either got me off to sleep within half an hour, which it did most of the time, or it didn't work at all that night. The big problem was that it didn't keep me asleep for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time.

I've been using temazepam for about three weeks now. At first it was great - I'd be asleep within 15 minutes or so and sleep 7 or 8 hours straight. But now something else is going on: I'm sleeping 10 to 12 hours at a stretch, and waking up feeling woozy. Obviously, I need to get with my doctor about this."


"Took first pill and became very sick. Sleep disturbance, ill stomach, chemical taste"


"I used to be a confident person until I was in an abusive relationship for several years. After that, I couldn't launch my legal career because I would tremble and have a racing heart for days before an anticipated stressful event such as a deposition or hearing. I have an uncontrollable fear of angry men. I've had therapy, tried self-soothing, meditation, lorazapam, nothing worked until propranolol. I take 10mg before an anticipated stressful event, and all my anxiety melts away, with no trembling, heart pounding. Best of all, there seem to be no side effects - I don't feel like I'm on any drugs, I just feel like myself minus the shaking and horrible anxiety. I no longer have sleepless nights where my heart is racing because I'm so anxious"


"I just found out I had high blood pressure in April 2011 from April till August I tried 7 different BP medicines and they were all to strong to say the least and made me sick to the point that I could not function and gave me severe headaches. My BP was all over the place way high then it would bottom out.  My cardio suggested I try a beta blocker since I started having panic attacks as well and it would help my heart rate slow down a bit. I started Bystolic 5mg Aug 1 and found out that one was way too strong and they lowered my dose to 2.5mg and I started taking it at bedtime.  Taking it at night really did the trick and the lower dose is much better for me and my BP is staying steady about 117/72.  So far so good."


"This is my first month on Nuva Ring.  No side effects.  I felt great.  I guess I am one of the lucky ones. My mood swings have disappeared.  I haven't felt grumpy or grouchy the week before my cycle.  No weight gain for me."


"I had a bad, bad tooth infection and needed a root canal. Dentist gave me clindomyacin ...400 mg 4 times per day for 2 weeks! Then after the root canal he wanted me to take another round of it! But the second time I took 1-2 days worth and said, "That's enough. No more. I'm rollin' the dice on this one." It tore up my stomach. It's two months later now and having to have an endoscopy to see what damage it has done. I was doing real good before taking the Clindomyacin. Never again! It's on my "do not ever take list."  If I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now, I truly would have just had the tooth pulled. My stomach has not been the same since. Also had explosive bowel problems with it, going 4-5 times per day!"


"Well I have been on Adderall for about 5 months 20mg daily. I wish I would have taken it sooner though. I am a single mom of twin 5 year olds and I noticed that I needed this birth control. I couldn't even get out of bed, focus, complete and daily normal function, daydream, etc. I finally realized it was needed after my mother had her heart attack and I could not focus not even at work. I went to my doctors and he put me on this and I feel great 95% of the time. Weight loss great! I recommend this to anyone that needs something to really save them from spiraling down and not being able to be "Normal" Great!"


"For the last 6 years I have been diagnosed with hypothyroid 5.28. I was taking levothyroxine. The first time taking it, I felt like my insides where burning and one night I was in the bathroom and passed out not even know I did until I woke up on the floor. I went to the ER and stopped taking it. Then 4 years later another Dr. put me back on levothyroxine but a lower dose and after a week I felt like I was gaging and couldn't breath and my levels where 6.50. I went to an Urgent care and the Dr. put me on 30mg of Armour and my levels where 5.20. I was put on 90mg Armour and my levels are 2.12 after 1 month. I have emotions now, as before I was numb. My sex drive, well WooHoo. Energy level comes and goes. No weight loss yet."


"I took my Ambien, thought I went to sleep but instead talked on the phone to my  boyfriend who told me I was acting crazy and making no sense.  I told him I was going to cook and eat all the food in the fridge. which I actually did do with no knowledge of it, there weren't even any leftovers, however all the dishes were washed and put away, this behavior caused me to gain weight as well as have amnesia for the entire event."


"My psychiatrist put me on buspar after i had tried lexapro & many natural remedies in regards to my anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, & PTSD. Personally, i think that the medication fools with my depression. My depression has been inactive for almost 6 months now & so i requested ( after taking the lexapro ) that i could be put on strictly anxiety medication. I also have adhd, which i have been taking concerta for. When taking buspar i realized that, it increases my concerta side effects, makes me have depressive symptoms. I feel like it makes me have the physical effects of everything but not the actual feelings, which is frusturating because when presented it looks like more anxiety, depression, adhd, ptsd.. etc. symptoms."


"I have experienced more rapid cycling with this medication, major insomnia and then sleepiness.  Also, I have experienced shortness of breath and higher blood pressure.  However it helps in making oneself quite groggy for half a day."


"I just got a 5 month script after finally trying the 2 week trial. I have fibromyalgia and wanted to make sure I waited an appropriate amount of time between taking this and any other meds I had been. In 14 days I went from 195 to 182lbs.  The only side effect I experienced was minor headache and sleepiness which has now subsided. I feel amazing. Insurance won't cover but I did receive help from Belviq with cost. I will pay for my future health!"


"I smoked for 16 years! Chantix has giving me a second chance and possibly years on my life. I have never reviewed a drug in my life but this drug gave me a life and for that I am forever grateful. 50 days smoke free!"


"I was 23 years old when I gave birth to my daughter and decided I wanted to give Mirena a try as my next birth control. I have high hormone levels which makes regular birth control a nightmare due to the frequent migraines. So after exhuasting most birth control choices before my daughter's birth, Mirena was one of the last choices I had left. I've had it for over a year now (May, 2015) and I have no conplaints. I still get the slight cramping as if I am going to start my cycle but no blood and no major pain from it. It was a choice that really worked for me."


Pinworm Infection (Enterobius vermicularis)

"My son, husband and I all took this and it certainly works! Yuck!  We knew we had them, but we were even blowing them out of our noses, eeeuuu, so gross!  Side effects have been all had a rash, 2 had/have headaches,  2 GI upset with diarrhea, & all 3 spent more time in the bathroom then we want to admit even here.  Is it worth it? YES, yes it is, especially if you consider the thoroughly disgusting alternative."


"I've been on Sprintec for years now. Never had any issues, no pregnancy scares and no side effects. My skin is pretty normal and my weight issues have to do more with me stuffing my face with cookies and ice cream than due to birth control."


"I have had anxiety all my life, my mom will tell you since I was 4 years old lol. I went on prescription meds when I was 18. Started with Lexapro, it stopped working. Switched to Prozac, that stopped working. Switched to another SSRI, so on and so forth for years. I have always disliked meds like Xanax, due to how my body tolerated the drug. So I declined taking anything in that drug class or even close to it. I am not a depressed person, I have been diagnosed with GAD for the past 15 years. I have to say, I feel such a change after 3 weeks on no meds to clear my system and now being on Buspar 10mg BID for the past week. My head feels clear, sex drive is back and off the charts, my memory is back. I will keep updating but so far I'm happy!"


"Very similar to MS Contin before manufacturer added a second drug-release regulating feature to the matrix. I found that every 12 hours allowed too low a trough in between doses, so my dose was divided into thirds for a  every 8 hour schedule.  I continued to work throughout the titration and stayed productive for a decade. Now I'm toast.  Any steady-state pain strategy will eventually change your body chemistry for ever, so it important to exhaust  all short-acting, prn "as needed" strategies first.  Be honest with your Doctor, it goes a long way."


"I have had insomnia related to my fibromyalgia for sometime. When my doctor suggested I try trazadone I was skeptical. Now I never want to be without it. It has done wonders for my sleep and the quality of my sleep. No grogginess or trouble waking up. I would recommend it for those that have trouble both getting to sleep and staying asleep."


"I had my first shot two weeks ago, and my second last Monday.  It worked immediately for me.  I was able to sleep through the night that first night, after many months of pain and trouble sleeping.  I have had active symptoms for about 8 months.  I also take methotrexate and Diclofenac.  I am in amazement how great I feel!  No side effects yet.  I'm getting great sleep and can play tennis again.  I don't like the injections, but I feel so good... It's worth it!"


"I have arthritis in most joints, especially in spine, degenerative disc disease & now spondylolisthesis (vertebrae slipping onto next vertebrae -bone against bone. MD just upped my Opana from 10 to 20 mg, 5mg Xanax 3x day to calm me (no change) & switched from Oxy IR 10mg 6-8 hrs to Percocet 7.5 6-8 hrs due to pain increase. What a difference! I feel able to do the things I like/need to do. Advice to anyone taking narcotics -do NOT mix with alcohol-you'll overdose, don't take more than directions-you'll just build tolerance & they won't work. If your medicine stops working as mine did, don't take more, tell your Doc, a different combination can change everything!"


"I was diagnosed with UC in March 2015 out of nowhere.. Rapidly got bad and needed to be hospitalized for a week to get the flare under control.. Was given heavy doses of steroids (awful) and they did nothing to help.. I was released from the hospital after a week and symptoms were still bad.. About 2 weeks later after not being able to eat and losing 20lbs I was barely able to walk and was readmitted, this time I went to Columbia in NYC.. I wasn't able to eat for the full first week in the hospital and symptoms were steadily horrible.. My doctor decided to give me a loading dose of remicade and the results were almost immediate! I have been on remicade every 8 weeks since and don't have a single symptom of UC

It's been a life saver!"
