"I have used citalopram 20MG for about 3 years now for hormone imbalance issues.  It has been very effective for me and the only real side effect that I have noticed is dry mouth.  I have noticed many people complaining about decreased sexual desire or trouble having an orgasm, but I have not had those problems."


"My started Atripila in September of 2013. I had horrible side effects for a year. And I am still fighting issues wih my counts. When my viral load goes down so does my CD4 counts. My viral load will not stay down. It varied between 30 and 60 while my CD4 counts has never been over 200."


"I have been on this medication for 4 months. My mood has been horrible, and I am dizzy all the time. I like having a birth control I don't have to worry about, but I think I am going to leave my husband or do something rash if I don't get off this thing. My back also aches constantly since having this put in."


"Just started cosentyx-  90 per cent of my body covered have used humira,stellara, otezela and multiple creams without much success 4 days after loading dose my hands were 74 per cent better- I'm excited to say this is s great choice w little side effects"


"I'm a 21 year old /male. I started to have severe panic attacks. I smoked marijuana heavily for years and had a stressful situation a year prior to the attacks.  I've been taking Zoloft for 7 months now and I want to wean myself off it. I take 100 mgs. It works to an extent but I think the rest is all in my head. When I first started I felt tired all the time but that passed... and after a month I could barely ejaculate and its been like for this for months.  I want my libido back."


"I took Lexapro for almost 4 weeks and quit because it was pure hell. I tried to push through the side effects but they never went away.  Insomnia, couldn't eat, anxiety hit the roof, panic attacks every night, and crazy thoughts. Was not for me."


"I cut one 50mg tablet in half and tried as an experiment and I was able to obtain and keep an erection.  I had no side effects.  It was so nice to have a stiff erection.  Although the 50mg tablets worked, I would get some of the side effects... not unbearable.  I tried 12.5mg and I could tell I was getting an erection but the sensation did not seem to last as long."


"like others have said, it's a foam but it's sticky like glue.  It's helps a little bit in keeping flare ups at bay and it may get rid of some very small spots, but it's not going to do much for any large inflamed patches."


"Was given a 3 day treatment for a UTI, 250mg every 12 hours. I had let the UTI get really bad before treatment, so my experience may not be representative of someone who catches it early. The horrendous symptoms were gone within a day, but I've just taken my last one and still feel irregular urgency and burning upon urination. Going back to the dr today."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I am 44 female, and I had total of 4 injections. Yes, it really works with keeping the white blood cells count up. Did an awesome job there! But I had such severe bone and joint pain. It was unreal the pain. Always 2 days after getting injection. And pain would last longer with each new injection. But I got Percocet for pain. I would just takes a pill then go to bed. I seriously hate how very bad the pain was! But even being around the little ones I babysit for. Who seemed always sick, I never caught anything. But the pain is insane. Drink lots and lots and lots of water and fluids."


"I've been on saphris for 3yrs now mostly because of my voices. I have been at my healthiest and voices are at the lowest they've been in the past 30yrs of being sick! Im thankful for this medication and wish I could've found it sooner. Thanks!"


"I smoked for 41 yrs and tried to quit on my own no luck. I tried the patch ha ha I could have plastered my body in them and no luck. Could not use the gum as I lost 12 teeth in a horse accident but I tried Chantix and only got a little tense a few times  but it made it so easy for me. I gave been tobacco free 2 yrs in February. Thank you Chantix."


"Had high cholesterol started on crestor.Sense then my life a nightmare. Leg cramps, joint pain swelling, memory loss ,extreme fatigue and now they have diagnosed me with an unknown issue. All since crestor I am stopping ..never sick a day in my life..these medications will make us sicker. ."


"Hi all!! I have been clean now for 72 hours from a 400-500mg a day 3 year oxycodone habit. I started suboxone 24 hours ago. I held out as long as I could with withdrawal so I didnt risk the chance of precipitated withdrawal. I initially broke an 8 mg tablet into 4 pieces to equal 2mg. Within a half hour I could NOT believe how much better I felt. I still had some body aches which were easily relieved with ibuprofen and I still have diarrhea but its occasional

 Other than that I feel amazing and I feel free. I am so blessed to be able to have my life back. I have a goal of a 6 month taper. I am also a nurse and I can tell you that I held an oxycodone in my hand at work and do not have a SINGLE urge. It was so empowering. Good luck to you!"


"Month 4 of these pills... day 14 of bleeding... day 3 of a constant headache... increasing stomach issues. Experienced horrible nausea and increased appetite that subsided after 3 months, but now experiencing new side effects. "


"This birth control was very effective, the side effects weren't too bad. The side effects I had were breast being sore, increase in appetite, and very bad mood swings. I would never get mad at the things I've gotten mad at while on this pill. Otherwise, periods were good and 3 days long, no nausea after the first day of taking it"


"I have mixed feelings about this medication. When you put aside all the side effects, it's great. It's doesn't quite put me to sleep as quickly as they say, but when I am asleep it is the best sleep I've had in a VERY long time! But sometimes I feel the side effects out way the sleep. If you have any kind of depression.. I would be very careful. The nausea can be very bad, my legs turn into jello, I can get very irritable, I don't have much of an appetite, and I have to take a stimulant in the morning for the grogginess. But even with all of that, I would still recommend this medication because it works. It definitely helps with narcolepsy and my cataplexy. I was very nervous about trying it, but I love my doctor for pushing me to try it!"


"I have been on Contrave for eleven months and have lost 40lbs. The weight loss is consistent and although I have a substantial amount of weight to lose, I feel much better and my Doctor is pleased with the results. I could really feel a difference after losing 10% of my body weight (35lbs). The goal I set for myself is 50lbs in a year-still have a month to reach this goal. Happy with Contrave."


"I've started taking these along with vybriid and it work really well. Mood swings, controlled, emotions controlled no more feeling sad for any reason. Been taking 40mg of vybrrid and 2mg rexulty, combination is good. No side effects so far. I take them in the am both about 20 to 30 minutes apart from each other."


"Insomniac, usually controlled my melatonin and amitriptyline unless I accidentally fall asleep after dinner or later, but bf bedtime.  If I do that, I'll be awake until the sun starts coming up.  So, my sleep doc prescribed this so I would not take that accidental nap after dinner.  No side effects, and I can't even drink coffee without getting jittery.  All in all, 10/10 for me personally."


"Started my 1st does on 6/20/2017 @ 210 pds and as of today 9/31/2017 I'm @179.
I did feel lots of energy the 1st 3 wks but not really after that. It curbed my appetites about the same time but now I'm so use to eating 4-5 small meals at 1200 calories its impossible to eat a big meal without feeling sick. The dry mouth is bad, but I've always had a water bottle with me so that helps. My activity level is chasing my gbaby around all day from 6a.m. to about 5ish. I also help the kids with cleaning their house daily and doing laundry. I haven't started a exercise regime really except for walking a several times a week for about a hour, just a leisurely pace. In all happy with the results but don't know how much is from the drug"


"I have Fibromyalgia and was prescribed this to help with the pain.  It didn't work well at all.  Carisoprodol is a much better muscle relaxant.  I also take Tylenol w/ Codeine #3 which also helps."


"I've been taking Paxil 20 mg for 6 years now and it has done wonders for my anxiety and panic attacks.  I've had no side effects or weight gain.  It took about 5 weeks to kick in but when it did I was able to get back to normal and start enjoying the things I loved again."


"Never again, first 10'days macrobid. Still had infection.  Put me on bactrim.  I was so sick after day 5. I missed 7 days of work, I think 10 days was to much. Had loose poop, neasea every day, dizzy, loss 7 lbs in 7 days and the worst was the dry eyes and mouth.  I felt like poo. I thought I would end up in hospital.  It even made me depressed!  Never again!"


"I am approaching my 3rd month on Belviq.  I have lost 17 pounds.  The longer I am on it the less interest I have in food in general, and even less interest in junk food.  Much, much easier to make better choices as I never feel hungry."


"Anyone who appreciates their physical health as much as their mental health I'm warning/begging you not to take Pristiq. It's intolerable in every way. I've been on it 4 weeks and 2 days. NO POSITIVE BENEFITS! However I have experienced the following from Pristiq: severe nausea, vomiting, nightmares, night sweats, headaches and migraines, brain zaps, loss of concentration , blurred vision....
If I can help only one person to not put this horrid dug into their body this comment will be worth it.
Please, do yourself a favor, ther are other drugs out there. I regret every single day on Pristiq. I feel even more depressed than when I began."


"I started Lutera about 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects I have noticed is slight tenderness and swelling of my breasts (not really a problem) and occasional mood swings, (which are easy to control if your aware you are having mood swings). At first it was difficult remembering to take the pill, but I set an alarm on my cell to remind me. I set it for a time when I'm usually awake, and not busy. The pill however like any other birth control will cause slight weight gain, so it's wise to cut back on the amount of calories you consume while on this pill. It does not stop your period either, well at least not for me. My menstrual periods are much shorter, and somewhat lighter, but still there. Also, I've noticed occasional, slight cramping."


"To be completely honest I have only been on it a week. The first thing I noticed is at bedtime I became really tired, or fatigued. Just tired !! I am hoping these are the only things that distress me. I mean come on people  hep C will kill you, in a horrible way. What is wrong with a little discomfort for a short period of  time, to save your life? Be positive, pray to GOD above and thank him for your healing."


"My depressive thoughts and ideation increased a lot within 2 weeks of starting. I called my Dr and tapered the dosage and they ordered extra small doses so my body would not be shocked. If you feel like you are having increased depression daily after starting this medication please contact your medical team and ask to taper off."


"This helps (fleet rectal enema) after 10 to 20 minutes."


"No more migraines since I've been taking Elavil. I use only 12.5 mg per day, taken at night. Have tried millions of other medicines. This is the best. First few weeks you will be very tired, it goes away then all will finally be normal with no more head throbbing. Coctail with 10 mg Lexapro. 1 and 1/2 years of no migraines."


"Present migraine has plagued me for 2 weeks despite my customary meds
 (->treximet, ->percocet 10mg, -> imitrex injections, not in same day of course).  I also do botox migraine every three months. I not only suffer with common symptoms, debilitating headache, nausea, light/sound sensitivities, I also have numbness, unilateral paralysis, and even blindness.  I've tried most approved treatments, including "off label" medications, with ranging levels of relief.    I've yet to find a preventative aka "miracle drug", although, botox has effectively reduced the number of my "headache" days. At any rate,  my migraine specialist gave me samples of Cambia at last visit and today I remembered I had it.  It quickly took a level 9 to a level 3."


"After a year of different meds trying to control pain i was put on hysingla er 40 with roxy 15 for breakthru.No medications will t

ake all my pain away .Hysingla er 40 with the roxy 15 gives me controlable pain without the high feeling.It has allowed me to be more active."


"With these pills I didn't have any kind of BAD effects the only thing while being on these pills is I was very emotional. Crying over every little small thing that my boyfriend did. In addition, the painful pains in the abdominal were like having menstrual cramps. Oh but the sugar pill week! The WORST PERIOD EXPERIENCE. I go to university and I had to leave class because I had explosive diarrhea and when I say painful I mean excruciating cramps and blood clots falling out of my vagina every time I went to the bathroom (sorry for getting too personal). Would I try them again? If they were my only option but I wouldn't take the placebo's... Never again!"


"Got my confidence back. Doxycycline really worked for me. After a long time suffering from all kind of acne from normal pimple to cyst, and huge black and white heads. I am 35 and had tried all type of creams and also pill like Accutane. Nothing worked until I tried Doxycycline. Since the first week taking the pill, I saw my skin improving and my family and friends noticed the skin was looking better. Its been 5 weeks of taking the pills, no more pimples and even the scars are disappearing. I thanks Doxycycline. Only one side effect which is dry throat and feeling more thirsty than usual. I recommend."


"Miracle drug. New lease on life. I keep pinching myself."


"I started on Victoza 1 week ago. Best I have felt since I got diabetes nearly 2 years ago. Can't eat the same junk and overloading my stomach with food, I could not get the feeling of fullness with my food so far. I achieve this fullness after meals now.  "


"The good thing about this drug was - it really killed my appetite.

But about 3 weeks in, I began to experience pain in my knees and then the joints in my hands.  At first I didn't connect it with the drug, but in the fourth week, the pain in my knees was so bad I nearly fell a few times.  This was all completely new.

I read online about some of the other new diabetes drugs causing symptoms like this, but Trulicity wasn't mentioned. but I stopped it after week four.  In a week, nearly all pain was gone.  After two weeks, just an occasional twinge. And now, all joint pain is gone."


"I just started Afrezza, my PCP recommended it. Honestly, Afrezza saved my life, again mentally and physically. I am now able to control my A1c levels without the stress of multiple injections.

Thank you,

J"


"Very Effective if taken approx. 1 hour before sex."


"I am on my second pack and will not be starting the third one. I was so happy to start the pill because I thought I wouldn't see nearly as much blood as I usually do, but I was wrong. I had the worst breakthrough bleeding. I bleed for almost a month straight, and some days it was heavy enough for a tampon and some it was just panty liners and as soon as it went away my period would come. I had bad back pain. Some nights I can't even sleep it hurts so bad. I also do not even feel like myself anymore. I would honestly rather not even be on the pill then have to take this again."


"I needed to share an honest review. I got differin to get rid of these stubborn invisible pimples around my chin. Basically they're clogged pores. They appeared even though I wash my face daily and nightly and exfoliate regularly with expensive products. Then I found differin. I've been on it about 3 weeks now. Although I have gotten breakouts all over, my forehead is it's clearest it's been. The pores on my cheeks are getting smaller and clearer. My nose has practically no problem areas anymore. The invisible pimples/clogged pores are subsiding dramatically. I am getting breakouts in those areas but my face looks radiant anyway."


"December 6th I was finally able to sleep through the night and only woke twice to void. This is compared to sometimes every half hour or 20 mins, which I had been experiencing for the past six months or so. I was exhausted. Other medicines were ineffective but Desmopressin has been a God send. The only challenge I've had other than the face flushing, is having to decrease my liquid intake despite needing the fluids due to the pain medicines I'm taking for metastatic breast cancer. I've noticed when I've ingested too much liquid, the Desmopressin doesn't work and I'm back to voiding upwards of 10 times a night but just for that night. I'm very happy with the speed at which Desmopressin works as well."


"This medicine worked very well for me within a month of taking it I became undetectable!! I had no major side effects. I do however get head aches every once and awhile but nothing I can't deal with.I currently crush mine and put it in yogurt so I'm still getting used to the taste...yuck..but its not that bad."


"I have lived 14 years with cold sores from HSV 1, spending $20/tube on Abreva and suffering from annual break outs, some worse than others, but all embarrassing and painful! I never thought to ask for an prescfription, but coincidentally had a cold sore on my lip when I went to see my OBGYN last year. She noticed it and wrote me an Rx for Zovirax cream, and I let it sit in my wallet for a couple months until I felt the tell-tale "tingling". This stuff really works, and if you apply it early enough, the sore won't even really form or blister and will completely disappear within 3-5 days. It's amazing, and totally worth it. Do yourself a favor and get it! It was only $30, and the tube is bigger than a tube of Abreva."


"Had a C Section 72 hours ago, constipation is a side effect of the drugs they use. I was beyond desperate to go and in absolute agony.

After writhing in pain with a newborn to feed and trying so hard to go without bursting my stitches, I popped two of these pills. Had them 9:30pm and almost exactly 3 hours later I was able to go. It was still mega painful but I was just so relieved. Maybe if I had been able to sleep it would have been liquid by morning but I actually can't sleep with the pain; so I went as soon as I could.

There may well be some awful tummy cramps to come and I might suffer with vomiting/sweating but it's a small price to pay. This drug worked for me that's all I can say"


"I used to be on Beyaz, which was great for me. Then when I moved out of the country, I had to switch to Yazmin (same company). It's my first month, and I am SO moody! I have gotten into big fights with my boyfriend over the smallest things in just the past couple weeks that I've been using this pill. I don't feel like myself. I am constantly going into depressions (I was already depression-prone before the pill). Sure, it's getting the job done, I don't have any physical issues really (though I do have headaches, but it may not be from the pill), but overall the moodiness isn't working for me. I'm going to be switching to Yaz next month."


"This medication has worked wonders for me. For years I have been plagued with constant worry, fear of social situations, anxiety and panic attacks.  I started taking this medication after the loss of a loved one as all of the above symtoms were spiraling out of control.  What a change!  I have been taking it for about seven months with no side effects."


"I have had acne since I was 13.now at 18 I have been using epiduo for five weeks now. Like most of the people on here I too experienced extreme burning. I actually even got a rash by my lip area. I also had puffiness around my eyes. I almost gave up on it, but my dermatologist told me to slow down the use of it and reminded me to only use half a pea-sized amount. My skin is completely clear. I do have blemishes. They are slowly fading away. I am using my eczema medication (Pandel) for the rash. She informed me it should be gone in about 5-7 days(hopefully). I am currently using hydroquinone 4% for the blemishes. I just started 3 days ago and I am already noticing an improvement. I highly recommend epiduo. Way more advantages than disadvantages"


"I loved Invokanamet, my A1C went from 9.3 to 7.2 and my blood sugars never went over 120 fasting or after meals. But the the yeast infections made me go insane. They lasted about 2-3 weeks and I got one every month! I wanted to die it was so unbearable. I also woke up feeling like I was stranded in the desert for days every morning but that wasn't too bad. DR switched to Januvia over 3 weeks ago and my blood sugars went from 120 to 350! Going back to the doctor on Thursday to try something else, if i could take hold of the YI i'd never get off Invokanamet"


"I took this in an attempt to prevent my migraines that occurred several times each month. During the two weeks that I took this at bedtime I had an increase in migraines (3-4/month became 3 in 2 weeks) and had at least 2 incidents where I got out of bed and did things - including going for a drive - that I woke the next morning with no memory of the night before!"


"Soriatane certainly helps with the psoriasis, but I'm not sure the side effects are worth it.  I've got 2 infected ingrown toenails because the skin on my toes are so soft it laps over and causes the toenails to be ingrown and then infected.  I've lost a lot of hair.  My fingernails peel and break.  I have this plastic like coating in my mouth that nothing gets rid of.  There's got to be a better way!"


"I have PCOS and Endometerosis and neither one of them caused a problem with my skin. People always complimented me and then my doctor suggested for me to be put on YAZ. Wow I loved Yaz because that birthconrtol pill cleared up my moods and my skin just looked even better and I just loved that medication. Since everyone was having problems with it, my doctor stopped my Yaz immediately and then prescribed me Lomedia. Since I have been on Lomedia, I have had my gall bladder removed, I have facial hair, I have acne like you wouldn't believe, horrible stomach pains and now IBS. Then I took a month break from the Lomedia and everything cleared up. I was back to normal. I would not recommend this product. I never had these problems before Lomedia"


"I was on tri sprinted for awhile and I thought it was such a great bc that didn't cause me to have anxiety or mood swings ... until I received the scary news that I had a blood clot in both of my lungs, the clot caused permanent damage to my lung and should have killed me. I'll take my cramps over this pain any day."


"I have been taking diclegis since I was 11 weeks pregnant. Prior to that, I was vomiting maybe twice a day and felt nauseous all day long (except at night). The first time I took diclegis, I was in HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! I felt sooooo good. I was able to go a full day not even thinking about feeling sick. I thought that would be the effect the whole time.NOT!. I am 3 weeks in with taking diclegis, and it seems like the effect of it has worn off to a certain extent. I am back to feeling nauseous most of the day. I will say that the vomiting is still under control, but I vomit maybe once every 4-5 days (which is still progress). I am in my 14th week now and I want to see how I will feel if I don't take the meds, but I'm scared lol!"


"Worst decision ever. 2 months since insertion, and nothing but annoying spotting, cramping and General misery"


"I have Marfan's syndrome and I have horrible lower back and joint pain and this medicine and a nerve pain medicine really helps me be a mom I need to be."


"I started Zoloft about a week ago. I think I feel better. My anxiety and the what if thoughts does not seem to bother me as much. I still feel sad at times. I am going to stay on it longer to get the full effect.  Side effects: loss of appetite, stomach pain, headache, mood swings.  I was in a bad place. My anxiety was terrible. Racing thoughts my brain just would not shut off. I had no control. Its just a really bad feeling. I didn't want to try any medicine I put it off for a week but my doctor kept calling me and convinced me to come in. She said PPD is a real thing and its nothing I did wrong. I felt ashamed of my feelings. I should be happy I just had a beautiful healthy newborn baby. All I felt was sad and worried about everything."


"Geodon has worked wonders on both my visual and auditory hallucinations. I have no side effects from it other than being a little tired from time to time. I'm taking 40mg twice a day and have been on it for about a month and a half."


"I suffered with RA for over 15 years in most of my joints.  6 years ago I moved to a new state and started with a new RA doctor.  She started me on Remicade and lowered the dosage of methotrexate.  I have been pain free for the past 6 years.  Love my doctor and Remicade."


"I am very impressed with this drug.  Started taking it on July 11th, 7 weeks and I've lost 17lbs.  I have very little appetite and little to no side effects.  I am now starting to exercise and hoping for a greater weight loss, but I am thrilled so far with the results!  High recommend!"


"I was given this in the hospital after giving birth.  It only dulled the pain.  Still couldn't walk, turn over, etc.  The sleepy side effect was good; it helped me relax."


"I started this birth control 4 months ago right before I left for college in August. I read reviews and I was iffy but my OB promised me everyone's body is different and I should try it out. The first month was okay. I was happy as ever at college. I got horrible cramps when I got my first period on it and my period was really irregular but I figured I just needed to adjust. Come late October, November, and now December have been the worst months of my life. I'm crying every day, lost my boyfriend, planned on started therapy, don't want to go back to school, nothing makes me happy I want to do nothing at all times. everybody's body is different but this depression isn't even worth risking. Do not take."


"I took Prozac for about 25 years with good results"


"I took 3mgs of Zyprexa, contained in Symbyax, nightly for about 6 years. The medicine worked well for the first 2 to 3 years. Around year four I started having severe side effects and did not realize it was from the Zyprexa as it had been working so well.  I suffered with increasing seizures for about three more years. Bad ones. I wound up in the hospital emergency room and it was the ER doctor that informed me that the Zyprexa was causing the problem. My regular doctor denied Zyprexa as a contributing factor to my seizures. I quit the Zyprexa cold turkey. To say the least it was an absolutely horrible experience. Wean off this drug over a long period of time and even then get ready for horrendous withdrawal symptoms after your last dose."


"I lost 75 pounds when I used Alli. I ate low fat foods like egg whites, low fat yogurt, salads with chicken breasts & low fat dressing, sugar free popcicles, tomato soup, lean turkey, chicken, & turkey. I added salsa, green peppers, onions, & mushrooms to make the food go farther & for taste. Lots of lean protI took one Alli when I ate a meal that contained fat. I also started walking. I walked 3/4 mile at first, then 1 mile, & then 2. If I cheated, it wasn't fun! If I ate a piece of pizza & took an Alli pill, it gave me the oily runs which wasn't fun. That made me not cheat! When I stopped  exercising, and not eating right I gained the weight back. It's like any healthy lifestyle, you have to make changes to lose weight!"


"This was my first time trying ADHD medication, and unfortunately it didn't go so well. My nurse practitioner warned me that there was a chance of panic attacks with Strattera, as I had previously had some with Wellbutrin, but I was unprepared for how intense they would be. Even on a very low dose. The first one happened on 10 mg, and there were several others on 18 and 25. I didn't take the higher step up, and had to stop. I know there are a lot of people who love Strattera, but anyone who's had a panic attack on Wellbutrin might want to avoid it."


"Took the 8 week regimen, for geno 1a. Doc said undetectable after 4 weeks. Have one more blood draw to do in a month. Only side effects I really had was really bad gas.  Drinks lots of water and eat right. I felt more fatigue after the treatment, and still do, so I don't know what's going on."


"I was first on the pill, and could NEVER remember to take it everyday, so I was looking up other methods. I was reading reviews about the Implanon and I was scared of getting this. The initial insertion didn't really hurt that bad, only the anesthetic was a little sting. I've had mine in for almost a year and I LOVE it! I've had spotting here and there but nothing major at all. I haven't experienced any other side effects. I was worried about weight gain, but haven't gained any!
This is the best birth control I think any woman could ever use!"


"This somewhat reduced my restless legs syndrome (which occurs every other day and is enough to keep me up at night and be bothersome); however, it gave me insomnia, which came in the form of falling asleep relatively quickly, but I would wake up approximately every two hours in the middle of very vivid dreams. Each time I would wake up, it would take me a good five minutes to realize where exactly I was and that I was semi awake in the middle of a vivid dream; then it would take me a good half hour to fall asleep again and the cycle would repeat. The side effects definitely outweighed the benefits and I stopped using after two nights. Now I'm on Gabapentin, which hopefully will work a bit better for me."


"Went on Mirena as it was one of my only options for birth control due to hormone issues and aura migraines. It hurt pretty bad having it put in. I suggest 800 mg of ibuprofen a half an hour to an hour before insertion. I have never had a child. Right after insertion I felt great, no pain for a few hours, then the cramps began. Nonstop terrible cramps with a little bleeding, for 3 full days. I finally called the Dr and she wrote me a script for Vicodin so I could go to work. No sleep for those 3 days due to terrible pain. The cramps finally subsided but then the stabbing pain started. Terrible stabbing pain in my abdomen. I think my body was rejecting it. I had it removed. Feel much better."


"Got script from Dr. no charge with copay. Very satisfied. 4 months and it is all gone. I keep using until all gone. Great product."


"I have taken many SSRIs in the past and this one worked far better for me than any other. Unfortunately I no longer have health insurance or a job and can't afford it. I now take Celexa, but it doesn't work near as well."


"I am a student who has used Vyvanse for the last few years. I am currently taking 40mg-50mg. When I first tried it, a couple side effects were annoying but it didnt last that long. When I was in High School, most of the day I felt like doing my work and getting stuff done, and it made me see the positive in things. And  in college when I take it, especially on my days off, I get a lot of work done. I am not a very talkative person, but it made me feel like having nice conversations with people. In mid day, I am in a great mood, but sometimes it goes away every now and then. I dont feel like eating almost all day, but Its smart to eat breakfast before hand, and then dinner. I do have a small crash at the end of the day but it's worth it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"90% of the reviews I've read talk about the taste being terrible. It wasn't for me.BUT

the cramping was horrible. I started at 5:00 pm, and from 7 pm to to 6 am the next

day the cramping was unbearable. No sleep. Did it work? Yes. Would I ever take

it again or have another colonoscopy? Never. The procedure was done 3/3/16.

I am a 75 year old man.

My advice is to talk face to face with the physician beforehand to ask if there is

any way to lesson the cramps."


"This medicine did not work for me at all.  Even with dietary changes I would have occasional flare ups."


"After experimenting with various pills and suffering from mood swings, this was the one method that didn't give me mood swings or weight gain. Irregular light periods with very light cramps are a relief from heavy Endo symptoms which is a plus. The insertion is fast and you're just a little sore for a few days. I definitely recommend using this implant since you don't have to worry about taking anything for 3 years. All methods work differently with everyone but this one definitely worked for me."


"I have been on juniva and metformin for years. It has kept my weight and sugar levels between 91-135. For some reason my doctor decided to take me off that medication and put me on glipizide. In one month I had gained 15 pounds and my blood sugars were in the high 100's low 200's. After two months she decided to switch me back on to juniva. A bit late I think by blood sugar is now up into the 300' reds' and I have packed on another 15 pds. The glipizide ruined my blood sugars and an extra bonus it made me gain weight. DO NOT TAKE GLIPIZIDE FOR A FIRST SECOND OR THIRD CHOICE. TRY EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST!!!! There's no out of pocket experience but you pay dearly with your health."


"I have a longstanding history with urinary tract infections. I was getting them 1-2x a month and one instance it was so bad I even went to the ER. At that point my doctor prescribed nitrofurantin 100 mg as a preventative method, which works. However, this time around when she prescribed it to treat a UTI (100 mg 2x a day for 7 days) it was one of the worst medication experiences ever. The side effects were TERRIBLE. I have never experienced such bad nausea in my life. I had splitting migraines, could barely open my eyes, & felt like I was going to vomit. Lasted the entire day in waves. I also took on a full stomach with water and it still didn't help. Also, only slightly dimished UTI symptoms the first day providing moderate relief."


"Gave me dry mouth. Made me lightheaded and groggy. Made urination frequent and painful. Made me feel like I would pass out when rising from sitting or lying down. Left me dehydrated. "


"Pain Free. Effective.  Cream causes itching temporarily."


"Makes me tired. New symptoms since I started it, joint pain, depression. May not be continuing this."


"I got Nexplanon inserted December 2014, so it's been 10 months. At first I loved it. I was always terrible at every birth control method and finally I didn't have to worry! My periods since the insertion have been fine, no increased acne, and my boobs got bigger. I guess that's what happens when you gain 30 pounds in less than a year!! I've never had a difficult time losing weight, but now it's near impossible. I'm tired a lot and have no sex drive. Also, my bowel movements have not been the same. I'm thinking about removing it at the end of this year because of the weight gain and the lack of sex drive. When I started I was 5'5" at 130lbs. now I'm 160lbs. I wouldn't mind the weight gain so much if I received a free wardrobe too."


"I have been on Sronyx for 2 weeks now, and I absolutely love it! My skin is clear, I have NO mood swings, and I'm actually losing weight. No complaints, I love this pill!"


"Excellent Source Material."


"I was prescribed Ativan for anxiety due to working in a high stress job (prison). Once during a riot at work I had my first ever panic attack, my heart rate was so high that the on call nurse said if I hadn't taken Ativan I would have ended up in the ER. However I started treatment with Effexor XR and that has ceased all my anxiety, so I have recently been using the Ativan to help me sleep, and it works fine to help me relax."


"Having foolishly used a steroid lotion on my forehead rosacea, I had a real flare up when after 2 weeks I stopped using it. Horrible lumps & lots of white-headed pustules appeared as well as larger red spots, making me very self-conscious. It hardly helped that I was about to head off an a 2 week business trip - meeting lots of new people. I tried Azelaic Acid which seemed to make matters more inflamed. Then, having over-looked it thinking it was pretty 'first base' I tried metrogel. (clear gel) After 2 days I thought I could see an improvement. Within 4 days it was clearly working; no new pustules were appearing and the old ones were being shrunk down. Within a week my forehead looked pretty clear. 10 days later it was fine. Recommended"


"I've had C. Diff for quite a while, but just got diagnosed a few weeks ago. I've take this medication 3 times a day for two weeks (right now I still have a few days left) and I am experiencing the worst side effects any med has ever given me. The medicine tastes awful, and starts immediately dissolving when it goes into your mouth, making it hard to swallow and causing an extremely bitter taste that is hard to get rid of. I am consistently nauseous every time I take it, and threw up a few times from that. I still feel like I have the C. Diff symptoms along with the side effects of the medicine. I also shake so much it's difficult to write and have bad feelings of vertigo, as if I am falling over. Such awful side effects.."


"A+. Couldn't function without it. Takes away that tense feeling in my brain. I don't have panic attacks, but I deal with a lot of anxiety that brings on severe irritability. Just one 5mg pill in the morning and one when I get home from work, and I'm free from all that. I can live a normal life and not let my anxiety ruin my relationships, work, etc. Lasts longer than xanax and more effective in my opinion,"


"I was first given this product while traveling in the Philippines. The pharmacist recommended Bactroban to treat a mild skin infection on my foot which I got from wearing flip flops too long in wet, sandy conditions. The area cleared up in less than two days.

It has been in my medicine cabinet ever since."


"Made me feel better mentally, but the severe diahrrea would not go away.  So, I had to quit."


"I'm 28 in the UK
I'm pretty sure I had the orange version of this prep before and it was a breeze, but taking the plain version for a colonoscopy tomorrow, I'm in a panic.
It's been 5 hours and I still haven't finished the 1st litre because I can't keep it down if I drink it any faster. Even after trying to mask the taste by drinking other drinks. What I have had so far also hasn't worked except for some passing wind and abdominal pain. Some dehydration, too. I've drunk a lot more than the recommended 500ml of extra fluids.
I'm also concerned that I shouldn't have been given it due to me being referred for heavy bleeding and pain after bowel movements. I had a movement earlier and bled considerably. The prospect of passing out the rest is frightening."


"Diagnosed with TN (glad to learn about it and find out I'm not dying of a brain tumor or something) - the pain is horrific.  I've been on the generic form of Tegretol (Carbamazepine) 100 mg 3x per day for 3 weeks.  I still have episodes of pain a couple times a day, but at least I can walk around, talk and eat without the excruciating pain I had been experiencing.  Only downside is I feel like a zombie - tired, and "out of it" - but like others have said - I'd take that any day over the near constant pain I was having."


"Amazing! Currently on doxy and onexton. To keep this short I will say I've been on tons of other creams and gels and even accutane twice and nothing has worked this quick for me.
My current combo has significantly flatted out my spots in a week. I am still getting a few new ones but I dab some onexton on there and bam. Within 24hrs those pesky spots either shrink or come to a head. I usually have to wait weeks for those under skin ones to go away but this stuff clears them up in a day or so. Yesterday morning I felt a new spot coming up and by nighttime it was gone. Crazy!"


"Bought abreva by recommendation of a friend who gets cold sores frequently and after using it for two days my cold sore shrank in size. My lip was totally swollen and it was three days before my birthday which was devastating, but abreva made the cold sore almost unnoticeable! Definitely would buy again, saved my life pretty much!"


"I always get face blisters from wind-burn or mild sunburn. Abreva helps only if I use it at the time of the damage,  not wait til blisters appear.  It keeps them from spreading all over my face.  And that is terrible. I use it for regular fever blisters too.  I have to use it the night before the outbreak."


"Hey ladies, I told myself I would share my experience if I found out I wasn't pregnant.. So here I am. I had sex during one of my most fertile days (October 6-8). I was not on any birth control (was sick for a while so I went off it). Him and I were in the heat of the moment and ended up not using a condom. Though we used the pull out method I still knew about pre cum and it scared the hell out of me. This happened around midnight and none of the drugstores were open. Right when the store opened (9am) I headed over and swallowed down the plan b. I got every symptom from the pill for a constant dreadful two weeks and could not sleep due to extreme stress. I'll take pain over being pregnant any day, so thank you plan b."


"Accutane seriously changed my life. I never really had bad acne on my face just a couple spots and every once in a while break outs but nothing to bad. But my chest and back were terrible. I couldn't go to school without wearing shirts up to my neck. I couldn't even wear a bathing suit around anybody but my really close friends and family. My dermatologist told me to try Acctane. I was really scared at first because I heard it had some bad side effects but i had tried everything. Within the first month my acne on my back and chest were almost none existent. The only down sides is it makes your lips very dry. Carmex was the only thing that worked for me. I highly suggest Accutane. The Pros overcome the Cons by 1000 percent."


"I need to use this post complete hysterectomy. Cenestin has been the most wonderful hormone replacement therapy for me.  I have no hot flashes, side effects, my hair is thick, the price is affordable even without insurance you just have to shop around.  Take my dog, my man, etc.... but do not touch my Cenestin.  It is a total God send to me."


"Took Zoloft for many years to combat depression but that drug caused troublesome sexual side effects.  I started with Welbutrin and the side effects from the Zoloft were gone completely. Very pleased."


"Started feeling like I was getting some symptoms of a YI so I went and purchased the 7 day combo pack of Monistat 7. OMG! I'm on the 3rd night and the burning is so bad.  It is way worse than before I started using the medicine. I'm not really sure if I can stand 4 more nights of this. I don't get YI's a lot. I haven't had one in several years, but never used to have this problem with the burning in years past.  I'm just glad to know that there are so many others having the same issue because I was beginning to think something was severely wrong with me. Going to take some Tylenol and try to get some rest. Praying the burning will stop. Definitely calling the doctor tomorrow though."


"I have been living with chronic back and hip pain for 12 years. I have had many surgeries with little to no relief of pain. After being in the pain management program at Kaiser for 2 months the doctor prescribed nortriptyline and within days I felt like a new person.  Even just sitting doing nothing was painful and now I can do my daily household chores with little pain.  Some things are still difficult but my daily life has improved substantially."


"I am 18 and started taking Loestrin about a year ago, at first my periods stayed the same and where pretty normal. Last month my period was 4 days late and only lasted a day or two, it was extremely light as well. This month I haven't had one at all. I am a little concered about it, but I have been reading a lot about how it can make your period stop all together. I really like having a period because it reassures me that I'm not pregnant. My breasts have grown two cup sizes and I feel like I am constantly tired but other than that it is amazing!"


"All I have to say is try it. Yo will be glad you did. I lost 30lbs in 30 days."


"LOVE LOVE LOVE Oracea! 2 weeks and I already notice a great improvement in my eyes. I have mild rosacea on my face (red nose sometimes) but it was the ocular rosacea that prompted me to seek help. I thought my eyes were just red from my contacts but my ophthalmologist said it was ocular rosacea. I was devastated- I do not want to lose my vision! So far, so good- my eyes feel 100% better, my stress level is down & I'm starting to feel "normal" again! I guess I'm lucky because I haven't experienced any of the side effects (yet). Hopefully it'll stay that way. Oracea is my new best friend."


"I have had this in since December 2016, my period came 3 weeks later and now it won't stop. Nothing else really, I want to take it out."


"Never taking this again. I took two pills around 6:30pm. Fell asleep around midnight, but kept waking up to terrible cramping that it assumed was my period coming. I woke up for the fourth time at 3am and heard a strange noise from, I assume my intestines. Rushed to the bathroom and made a BM but it's borderline diarrhea....been sitting here for the past 25 min, to make sure it's all finished. I'm going to grab a bottle of water soon after this so I can rehydrate.."


"I went almost 3 months without a period. I should've known I was in for trouble but I just let it slide until the day I started my period. I bled for 5 weeks non stop. It was very heavy with lots of large clots. I went to the ER eventually and the Dr prescribed me provera 10 mg for 10 days. It was awesome for 10 days almost no bleeding just spotting here and there. I came off of provera and 2 days later I'm bleeding 10 times worse and a lot more clots then I was before taking the drug. Somethings got to give I just want to be able to be normal again!"


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I got a breast infection that was found to be mrsa.  I was admitted for IV antibiotics.  I was exclusively nursing a 6 week old.  I continued to nurse my newborn with the infection and on the medication.  My baby or I had no side effects.  (no yeast, digestive issues)  It cleared up my infection fast.  I got 3 days of IV and 7 more days of oral medication."


"When I first started on Vyvanse (30 mg) I thought it was a miracle.  I was social, energetic, and losing a lot weight.  After about 6 months on it (40 mg) things started to change, I began having horrible crashes where I would experience depression, OCD type behavior, and thoughts of suicide.  Trying to get off it it brought about terrible withdrawal symptoms; I gained a lot of weight, was lifeless, and extremely depressed.  I really wish I never started this drug. I noticed a lot of people loving this drug have only been on it for a short amount of time, so come back and update your review when you have taken it for 6 months to a year.  The rebound affect of stopping it has been awful."


"I have been "sick" with adrenal fatigue and many other side effects for the last 18+ months from this device."


"I have been on citolapram for a number of years (since 2011?). I have had nothing but positive things to say when I am on the medication. I was diagnosed with depression in the spring of 2009, and tried a few different anti-depressants. Each one had some scary effects. I was placed on citolopram after the third anti-depressant didn't work and it has been good. I still have anxiety attacks on occasion but overall am stable and healthy and learning other coping skills for my anxiety and depression. Missing doses though leads to increased anxiety (duh!), nausea, dizziness, racing heart, trouble sleeping, irritability and some disorientation. Overall I am thankful for citolopram."


"bought dulcolax and took it last night, preparing for my colonoscopy tomorrow (today I start liquid diet). I took two before bed because thats the directions my doctor gave me, and the back of the dulcolax box says take 1-3 for adults, so I assumed I was taking a pretty average dose. I took them at 11 pm with a full glass of water and went to sleep completely prepared to get up and work the next day but woke up around 6 am sweating with intense stomach cramping and horrible pain. I threw up twice before almost missing the toilet and practically spraying watery diahrea for 30 minutes, all while shaking, and having horrible pain and nausea, even after vomiting and going to the bathroom. Wish I would have read the reviews first on this drug."


"Xanax has been a life saver! Just recently had a heart attack and had my 4th stent put in. Was still having chest pains which obviously scare me when I have them. The tricky part is separating the chest pains from anxiety which I have been diagnosed with. What a vicious cycle!"


"Very glad to see that there's a generic for Vagifem, which I had wonderful results with. However, the blister packaging on Yuvafem is ridiculously bad. It's impossible to separate the single-use applicators using the perforations without tearing the foil wrapping on multiple applicators. Being able to separate is very handy for travel, etc. Please fix the packaging and make it functional!"


"Taking this medication for endometriosis has made all my symptoms better. I no longer have the horrible cramping and irregular bleeding. There isn't any more inflamation but i do suffer acne and have gained 15lbs in the past 2 months using loestrin"


"I got Kyleena inserted this morning, and honestly, it really didn't hurt. The whole thing took less that 1 minute. I felt slightly crampy for about 30 seconds during, and when my doctor said "done", I hadn't even realized she had started the procedure. All my friends had me absolutely terrified, saying it was going to hurt, when they've never even had an IUD themselves. My advice: don't listen to what others say, eat a good breakfast the day of, and try to relax. A minute of slight discomfort is so worth not having to worry about birth control for 5 years. You can do it!"


"Once a day dosing,  works better that generic."


"It did a little something right from day 1, but really the first month was pretty strange. I went back and forth, finally settling on taking 1 50mg pill in the morning.  At first that made me extra sleepy all day, but that effect went away. I was feeling a bit stoned for the first month or so, but that went away too.  Now I have the ticklings of panic creep up in the normal situations, but if only for the placebo effect, I can tell myself it isn't real.  It will go away.  And then it always does!

Thanks Zoloft!"


"Right below knee amputation, right open fracture femur lead to osteomyelitis, non-union, 30 days of Cipro cleared the infection. Delayed union with plate interlocking done."


"Lexapro has been amazing. I went through tragedy on 9/11 losing my wife. Doctors pumped me with so many medications. Multiple suicide attempts. I have been fortunate enough to start a new life with a new wife. We share her 3 sons and our daughter together. Lexapro has eliminated my anger, mood swings and has allowed me to live again."


"I have several people in my family who has bipolar disorder but did not like the fact that my depression and manic symptoms were results of this. While I was in the military they tried numerous medications, from clonazepam and celexa, to trazodone and effexor. Finally one of my Doctors decided to try me on lamotrigine and see how it works. I must tell you quite honestly that this is one of the best medications I have ever tried to combat my bipolar disorder. During the entire time I was being treated for this I had to deal with an injury I had during the war. The military's option was to dope me up to my eyeballs with opiates, which unsurprisingly made my mood unbelievably euphoric constantly."


"I took Chantix for three weeks.  I stopped smoking after week one. Then I continued to take the drug for two more weeks.  Then one day I forgot to take it and realized that I had no desire to take it.  That was the last day that I took it and I have not had a single craving for a cigarette or a single side effect, as far as I can tell.  It's been over a month now and it was the best $100 I ever spent.  Thank you Chantix."


"I had trouble getting to sleep, stuffy runny noise I am 43 years old I was on norvasc but my new doctor recommended this I stopped taking it maybe he can lower the dose"


"I believe fibromyalgia symptoms started when I was around 14, it wasn't diagnosed until I was 41. I  had been to many doctors complaining of lethargy and body pain/aches,  and I never had any answers, one doctor said "do you think this might be all in your head."My life changed at 41 when I started on amitriptyline, I finally went into a deep sleep, felt  more refreshed,  and it substantially reduced the pain.   I am currently 55, original dose lost its efficacy overtime. I am now on 125 mg, but I am very active and run and bicycle weekly.   Don't get scared if you feel even more tired in the first 2 to 3 weeks of taking the medication, that will dissipate and you will feel refreshed all day."


"After taking 1 50gm pill I was awake all night with my toes and fingers burning, diarrhea, light headed and dizzy, dry mouth, and generally a bad feeling all over. I am very sensitive to narcotics and even after surgery I can't tolerate them. The only meds I take are Tylenol so there shouldn't be any interaction. This was worst than any experience I've had. This was the first time and it will be my last. My doctor has prescribed Rameron (Auro-Mirtazapine 15 mg) as an alternative but I am afraid do what that will do. I know I won't try Teva-Trazodone again no matter if I can never sleep again!"


"My son has had a lo-grade fever for three days. I've had him on Tylenol every 4 hours but decided to try Motrin instead during his regular dosing schedule. It didn't do a thing. His fever kept rising. Tylenol is the only thing that has worked for him."


"Hi I was Diagnosed when I was 6 years old and I am now 25 years old. I have taken Provigil, Adderall, Nuvigil, Ritalin, and now  methylphenidate ER. I could not take the recent medication due the side effect I use to get all the time  and it wasn't until I started taking folican xr that my life had change . I felt like I was never diagnose at all . I started taking folican when I was maybe in middle school up until a year ago . I was put on another medication which is methylphenidate which seem to make me more tired . The things I could do as a person without narcolepsy  I can no longer do them . Emotion that by itself put strain on me . This by itself seem to do nothing . 10mg 1-2 a day . When I was on folican I took 15 mg 3 times"


"My husband has taken this medication and it is the only thing that works for him. We can not find anything else that works, over the counter. "


"I have abused Oxycontin for about 2 years. Suboxone has dramatically reduced my withdrawal symptoms, which you can guess were severe. The secret to taking suboxones is that you should only stay on them for about 1-2 weeks and constantly decrease your dosage.  If you take them as prescribed your only getting addicted to a new drug, I took whole tablets the first few days then halfs and then quarters. Trust me if you take the drug everyday then stop the withdrawals are just as bad as your opiate of choice.  I realize only 1-2 weeks sounds quick but after that you will no longer have withdrawals but it's also will power."


"I've been on birth control for 7 years. Every couple of years I end up having to change it because even though it worked for a year I start bleeding all the time. I started taking sronyx about 2 months ago and I've opted to just stop all together while my husband is deployed. Since taking this I have been bleeding, my boobs hurt so bad even wearing a bra hurts, and I'm so nauseous I feel like I'm constantly running to the bathroom. I also have very bad acid reflux and heart burn which I haven't had in about 4 years. And after reading some of the other reviews realized how moody I've been. Not to my husband thank god but to everyone else. I have also noticed I want bad food all the time. I don't recommend."


"So I got my first yeast infection a year ago. I took a single dose of the fluconazole, and it went away. A few weeks later, I started to feel the symptoms again, but my doctors said they didn't see anything. Well, I feel asleep with a tampon in and it turned into a full blown infection. They prescribed terconazole, and it went away. A few months later, I got another one and nothing would fix it. Miconazole, clotrimazole, fluconazole. Nothing. They prescribed boric acid suppositories and that worked temporarily, but it kept coming back a few days after I finished the treatment. Finally, I went to a specialist and they prescribed fluconazole 200mgs to take twice per week. Happy to say that after 6 months, my infection is gone."


"Worked after one dose. High dose of 3 strong pills once only.
But today I feel lightheaded, dizzy and low appetite."


"I had chest pain and palpitations. Was prescribed Imdur and took 1 tablet. That was the worst 3 days of my life. I prefer the angina to the "cure." Caused nausea, vomiting, intense pain (felt like my body was made of broken glass), every sound went right thru me, and every noise was excruciating. Never again."


"I have only been using Duac gel for three days now, so far it has evened out my skin a lot, in terms of redness and improved my spots from the first application. It does seems my spots are getting slightly worse, but I think it has to get worse in order to get better. I do get a bit of dryness but no other side effects. So far very impressed."


"I've had hives off and on since 2002. I am 52 years old and I've been diagnosed with Hashimotos and Lupus. I was tired of hive breakouts and constantly taking benedryl. So I decided to start taking xolair. Within a half hour after shot my hands got red and itchy. I told nurse. She seemed unconcerned. Got very tired went home and slept half a day! That night got three hives on leg and arm. Next morning I was achy all over and got dizzy with a headache. I report I also got some chest heaviness. I called doctors and he said it was not from xolair. I can stop benedryl but wants me to continue shots. So far I can't stop benedryl because Im still itchy! I don't know if I should get next dose because I don't want worse side effects.Want to eat again"


"I have been suffering from migraine's since around 16 and now at 36 although they have became less frequent over the years. They are horrible as I usually am out for the entire day bedridden in a dark room. I have always been very paranoid to try a actual migraine medicine so have taken vicodin for the pain. I recently had a migraine at work and decided to try a imitrex my doctor prescribed me. I was nervous to try it but am so happy I did. I waited a few minutes of having the migraine before I took it but it relieved me of my migraine within 30 minutes. I did experience some effects like muscle stiffness in my neck, tightness in my face and a burning feeling in my nose and forehead for about a hour but I'll take that any day over a migraine."


"When I first started taking the medicine I experienced diarrhea as expected. My nausea began to get worse. I thought I would give it a chance and ride out the side effects. They started getting worse, I am four months into this. I have been very sick because of this medicine, I went 3 days without being able to hold a meal down without vomiting. I have lost 15 pounds since starting. This medicine reacted badly with me, the bad outweighs the bad for me. I hope no one else has to go through this."


"I just started yesterday on phentermine, I have a spinal cord injury and pelvic fracture so my physical ability is limited, I am extremely over weight, I can't do sport .how much I have lost or if any at all, I will in 2 weeks.."


"I sure hope me writing this can help someone avoid the prolonged agony I experienced on Trintellix. I started with a 5 mg dose for one month. After about 5 days, I started having itching on my external vulva.  By the 7th day, I almost went to the ER, but by that time, due to all my scratching, I had developed a pseudomonas aeruginos infection. Four courses of antibiotics later, the unbearable, constant, relentless, and ever-present itching was still there, with some hives. Though the infection was gone, the itching continued. I have never had intense itching like this--the more I scratched, the more I itched, and I couldn't even sleep. Two days after stopping Trintillix, the itching was gone. Two months of hell. Fixed drug eruption."


"I love it, it helps me succeed in subjects/ work tasks that I have struggled with so much in the past which has affected my self esteem. I have been on it for 5 years. I take 20 mg twice a day, and feel a need to go up a bit for the dosage, it's been a while and doesn't feel as effective. "

"This is my third day using this pain medicine. It works great.  I have tried Tylex, and other codeine related medicines in which I would take up to 5 to 6 pills a day.
I have been able to use only 2 a day without any depression.  I suffer chronic ankle foot pain from weighing over 300 pounds, and cannot sleep at night. Now I am able to get the rest that I need without feeling terrible in the morning. It has a very positive feeling. I did notice a loss of appetite."


"I've suffered from excessive sweat under my arms for years!
I read tons of good reviews on Drysol, and bought it. The first night I used it, the next day I was dry as the desert! The next day was a little damp.
Things went downhill from there.
Not working at all now."


"Started taking Miralax about a week ago. I didn't have it with me this last weekend, and I still went to the bathroom. I must say since I have been taking it, I have had a little cramping, this pretty  much is the red flag saying time to use the restroom. I must be really constipated if this cramping if happening. But I'm going to keep taking it and see how I feel in a few weeks. So far I'm going to the restroom it's slowly moving out. Yeah! Miralax"


"I have had dry stools for years and have tried everything under the sun-natural and over the counter products- with no success. This has been an absolute life saver. No side effects and worked within 2 days."


"Been on Paxil for about 3 month starting my fouth it's been helping me a lot with my panic disorders & social experiences. My mg for Paxil is low 20mg.
However, whoever is starting this medication don't get discourage it will take ( 1 month) time for Paxil to kick in but it will be worth it. A big con is; that ejaculation time got delayed."


"I have dealt with depression, on and off, for most of my life. I have depression that is heavily marked by fatigue and is very resistant to SSRI's. In fact, SSRI's have never done anything at all for me. Upon switching to an every other day dose of 30mg/day of Dextroamphetamine, I found the depression subsided immediately. I was no longer fatigued at all. Of course, I have more energy on the days I take the medication, but I don't feel overly tired at all on the other days either. On this medication I am able to think clearly and deal with the normal stresses of life. I do not recommend eating before, or for several hours after, taking this. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has little to no success with SSRI's or a lot of fatigue."


"At the 2 week mark on imuran 50 mg tid, I developed a high temp, severe muscle aches, chilling & started coughing up green mucous, I also had severe weakness. Went to md & put on antibiotics. Called rheumy & I was taken off med. Cbc & cmp lab was normal."


"I suffered from anxiety disorder for 5 years without knowing what it was and after seeing numerous doctors and undergoing numerous medical tests and scans, it all came to naught. The symptoms were very vague and debilitating such as overall weakness, trembling, dizziness and even the simplest chore of lifting a pen results in strange feelings in the body.
Finally a doc gave me Lexapro 10mg and my life was saved!
Since then I have taken Lexapro (6mths) and stopped and it has relapsed twice and the longest time I survived without Lexapro was 1.5 yrs. Now I believe I have anxiety disorder and need help and Lexapro really helps."


"This birth control was great for me. I went from an a cup to a d cup on it though. No weight gain etc. It was pretty easy on my emotions and I wish I could find it again now."


"I had the paraguard I inserted in the beginning of December 2015, and so far I LOVE it!!!!!! My period is a tiny bit heavier but nothing bad. I love it's good for 19 years and it's nonhormonal! :)"


"This birth control is so good when it comes to not getting pregnant. The side effects on the other hand have been horrible for me. One month I've had a periods that was so heavy and painful it felt like labor and lasted for 8 days. And I've been getting headaches nonstop ever since I got it in. Not just regular headaches but migraine like ones. And I've had some days when I felt dizzy and nausea. So if you're willing to deal with the horrible side effects then yes I'd recommend it. But side effects for every woman is different."


"I'm a 28 yr old mom and wife who was addicted to prescribed vic's & perc's for the past 2 years, taking about 60-100mg's a day to feel "OK". After running out of my pills in 10 days or less...I'd be in agony but would always find ways to get through the days with people I knew who had/sold them. I hated my life which once was GREAT. Found a new doctor..today is day 3 of Suboxone and I feel good, no pills and no cravings or aches and pains (which I find unbearable) I cut my 8mg 2x daily in half because it was too much, had me bed bound, MIGRANES and puking. Otherwise, NO COMPLAINTS...TRY It. I was reading these reviews last week. In denial this medicine could work so well. No longer in denial, it works. My family is so proud of me, which feels beyond GOOD."


"The best ever.  Locoid worked within a few days.  Did not irritate my child's skin.  Will only use Locoid from now on."


"Second time having it. Shame on me. The first time I experienced taking 2 500mg tablets I had no symptoms and was fine, I'd eaten before hand and ate straight after and managed to keep myself hydrated. This time round, same dosage, but I felt a little spaced out, had tummy gripes which passed after having a proper meal and a big glass of water, but I found for the entire day I'd get random shivers and my stomach would feel a bit bubbly. Also felt a slight bit of dizziness but nothing I couldn't manage."


"My Doctor prescribed me Migranal earlier this year. I've had migraines since I was 6 and have never found anything that helps this much. I prefer the pill I can take over the spray. I've been to the ER before and they give me DHE (Migranal) in an I.V shot and it's magic. Look into this if you need help."


"I'm 17, been on the patch for over a year & I recommend. If Ortho Evra patch is too expensive/big try generic Xulane. Same method, no difference in effectiveness/side effects just smaller & doesn't leave as much fabric around glue lining as Ortho Evra. Experienced nausea, breast tenderness around time of period, & cramps that decreased greatly now that I'm used to it. No weight gain, doesn't fall off through shower/exercise, & if you forget to put a new patch on your patch change day you are still protected for I believe 3 days, after that use back up & start new patch change day on the day you remembered to put it on. Been with partner over 1 yr, 0 scares. Had slight temper before patch so only mood change was more emotional/sensitive lol."


"Sometimes it helped but other times it didn't. I have fibromyalgia though so it could be the pain interfering."


"I am a new user to Implanon and so far I LOVE it. I have been on the Depo shot for 7 years and being that I am only 23 years old my doctor kept pressuring me to try something different due to the bone loss the Depo causes.  I've had no unusual mood swings, I work out daily so I definitely can't say it makes me tired, and I haven't had appetite changes.  I didn't have a period with the Depo so I am really hoping that this continues on the Implanon.  I will update later."


"I was wheezing with a constant cough. Asthma brought on by cold weather, exercise, or allergic situations. This all left after one week of use. No apparent side effects."


"I have been on this medication for four months and hit 40 pounds loss this morning. I can't believe how well this works! I was a very compulsive eater. Eating fast food and snacking was a daily occurrence. This medication has completely taken away the compulsive behavior. I used to binge eat and say to myself " okay this is the last time. Tomorrow, I'm gonna make some changes". And those changes never happened. Or if they did, I would last a week or so and then have a "cheat day" and never recover from it. This medication has made it possible to stay on track for a long period of time. I eat well, count every calorie, exercise, and have not felt the desire for a cheat day once. French fries still look good but my brain is able to say no now"


"In addition to the very, very long periods, pain everyday, weight gain and fatigue. I also experience mood swings which also have been very unhealthy to my relationship. I felt like when I started having hunger pains, or when I got so extremely stressed out, if would trigger my period. I could be on at night time, wake up off, go to work and start stressing, and then my period always comes when the stress does. I'm forever cramping as if I'm on my period."


"Only good thing about this is not  getting pregnant this birth-control pill has made me break out  also I have a sharp pain and feel sick all the time and make my period late"


"I have been taking qsymia for almost two weeks and am down about 9 lbs. I feel great and have added a whole

 lot more water to my routine. For those that cannot afford the astronomical costs of this drug, talk to your doctor about Phentermine and topirimate separately. The dosages are very close to the qsymia doses and the monthly cost is less than $40. Hope this helps any that aren't being helped due to cost."


"This product has been a life changer!!! I would be so embarrassed to wear anything other than black or white shirts. The amount of sweat I would have under my arms was crazy. I remember going to my cousin's wedding and was wearing a tan suit and you can see the sweat stains on the outside of my suit. I tried everything to padded under arm t-shirts, sweat block, certain Dri and nothing worked until this. I can't believe that after years of dealing with this problem I am now completely dry. The ultimate test for me was my week long vacation this past May in Puerto Rico, I only wore tank tops everyday and not one drop of sweat under my armpits!!! This product has changed my life!! Please give it a try b/c it really works."


"Like most with acne as severe as mine normal topical remedies don't work. When none of the topical treatments worked my mom finally agreed to let me try oral medication. I have tried many (I don't remember the names) only one worked but it was too expensive for my mom at the time so I had to go off it. So again it got worse and all through my junior year I suffered. Finally my mom again decided she didn't want my scarring to get any worse so she agreed to put me on Accutane so we could get rid of it once and for all. I'm on my first session and it has started to work. My only noticeable side effect is severe drying of my lips. Other than that I love the results. No more cystic acne, or white heads!"


"So vivid in detail, from some,  but, give this medication time. This drug had me feeling some wacked out, like on a boat sensation. Just light headed and motion sickness. I was told "six weeks" so instead of stopping it, which I dearly wanted to - I didn't. And to this day approx four years I thank myself, I didn't.. yes its heavy handed. But now I have nearly no racing thoughts, which drove me to suicidal tendancies, my mind never stopped it was like a TV on in the back ground. Next, sleep, sleep, peaceful sleep,  I did crave sugar BUT NO WEIGHT GAIN. This drug is just broadly so good. This drug and a couple others balanced me.  The racing thoughts Seroquel number one, but Ritalin was also something I am grateful for."


"I had high hopes for this drug. But sadly all it doesn't work so well for me. Arrrg my skin hurts so bad!!! It literally feels like its burning. My skin has become so dry that its starting to peel. I try putting on cream but that hurts soooooo bad. It literally feels like my skin is on fire when I try to moisturize. My doc gave me a cream and even that freaken hurts so bad!!!"


"Modafinil is quite useful and I have not experienced habit forming properties; this was a problem with all other ADHD medications I have been prescribed over the past 10 years. Although I also tried Strattera for three months prior to my starting Provigil.  My only issue is that so far I have only been able to receive 200mg which only helps me until afternoon.  I am in need of a large enough prescription so I can have an afternoon dose.  Hopefully somehow my insurance can become convinced that this is necessary for my health."


"Been on this for a few weeks now and I feel no better than I did before I started taking this.. Gained weight and getting severe migraines.."


"I've been on Armour forever but in the last year found my dosage going up to 150 plus Liothyronine at 30 mcg/day and all of these horrible symptoms coming back and new ones that at first thought were lifestyle-induced due to a career change and a move. That was until I found out that Forrester Laboratories was bought out by Allergan in 2015 and the same issues from the 2008-2009 reformulation are being reported in mass numbers...everything from lab issues, high increases in dosages, chronic fatigue, vision issues, skyrocketing co-pays to hair loss, etc. I checked my bottles this weekend and realized that they all read Forrester/Allergan and will be researching on new natural options and speaking with my doctor on Monday!"


"I have had 8-12 migraines per month for the past 2 years. The Imitrex 150mg that I take for them has started to lose efficacy, so I keep having these day long auras but not full blown migraines. It's very draining. My doctor recommended Propanolol ER 80mg capsules as a preventitive. I took them before bed and for the first 3 days felt pretty light headed and foggy in the morning, but that went away. But, the awful acidic, churning stomach aches did not go away. I discontinued it after 1 week because the stomach aches and worsening diarrhea were too much. And then I got a migraine the next day. I think it probably worked well for migraine prevention but the side effects were not worth it."


"I was 21 totally healthy male without ANY health problems. One morning I woke up with a horrible headache and it only continued to get worse. I experienced headaches 24 hours a day for months. I had every test known and they couldn't find anything wrong me. I have took 75mg of amitriptyline for close to 4 years now. The drug has worked wonders on me and as long as I take my medication every night, I never experience a headache unless under extreme stress. Wonder drug, mild side effects. First few years dry mouth was really intense. It is harder for me to fall asleep now, have to take 5-10mg of melatonin as well. Hoping to ween off the medication shortly tho, as I don't want my whole life to be controlled through a pill bottle."


"My allergies are the worst in the morning and this medication directs it be taken at night.  I've tried that several times and it is no help whatsoever.  Just before writing this I had to take Benedryl even though I took this medication last night.  Very disappointed in this product!  The couple of times my allergies kicked up at night and I took it this product did not help at all.

That said everyone is different and I guess if you want to try it and see if it works for you go ahead.  But if your allergies are bad in the morning it will not help at all."


"My husbands Dr prescribed  100 mg of Viagra and we paid $230 for 5 pills. Last night was the second time my husband   took it and for the second time it did not work !! He is diabetic and uses an insulin pump we don't know if that has any bearing on the Viagra. Is this common?"


"I've had restless leg syndrome for about 15 years and have tried several medications.  Gabapentin worked most nights, but left me practically catatonic the next day.  Klonopin did nothing to help my symptoms. Requip made me feel like I was going insane, and really scared me.  I gave Mirapex a high rating because it has completely eliminated all my symptoms.  Unfortunately, I have severe nasal congestion as a side effect which also keeps me up all night. If I don't take it, I can breathe, but my legs are jumping and jerking all night.  If I do take it, my nose feels like it's filled with cement.  Either way I can't sleep.  I guess it's back to the doctor to try something else."


"I am so happy with this products. Everytime I get a high fever which is usually once or twice and year I always have a break out of fever blisters. I have tried everything under the sun from ice, tea bags, herpicin L, releev, carmex... Anything and it would always take a 3-4 weeks to just see it start to scab. I bought Abreva yesterday morning and it is already at the scabbing stage and I had a fever blister start the day before. I apply every 2-3 hours and its working great! I do make sure the wash and dry hands before and after applying abreva."


"I started taking them to prevent pregnancy the first few days it was OK but I did get a big pimple but other than that my skin seems to be clearing up but I will say I noticed I'm gaining weight already"


"Vyvanse has been amazing for me. I used to take Adderall, which made me moody, self-conscious, unhappy with myself and life, and far from  my true personality. I now take 70 mg Vyvanse and it has worked miracles. I feel I am my true self but with controlled ADHD symptoms. Now, when I need to concentrate, I am now able to thanks to Vyvanse."


"It works! Took it like 20 mins after we had unprotected sex. I was so worried I cried and prayed. 12 days after I got my period I was so relieved.Trust me it works. They say that it doesn't work for overweight people but it does I'm 195lbs."


"I'm a 62 year old male. Some years back, I was experiencing a very dry mouth and frequent urination. I had my blood sugar level measured and it was at 350 so I was prescribed Metformin. The Metformin brought my sugar level down to about 150 but gave me a very bad upset stomach. The nausea wasn't temporary for me. It didn't clear up even after taking the metformin for weeks. However, I did find a solution to the problem. I switched from the regular fast acting metformin to the extended release metformin XR. The difference was like night and day. I have had no nausea at all using the metformin XR. If you're having stomach problems using regular metformin, I suggest trying the extended release version. I now take 2000 mg of metform XR daily."


"Used for 6 weeks to treat muscle spasms and phobia. After asking my doctor to wean me off we followed a regimen, and it was the worst withdrawal I have ever experienced in my whole life, even worse than things that I've taken in the past.

I suffered temporal epileptic seizures for 3 days, and was staring at the door for an hour before my girlfriend smacked me to wake me up. 6 days later I suffered two consecutive grand mal seizures that broke my skull and nose.

I had never history of seizures, brain MRI   EEGs done last year came out clear and crystal, and this medicine lowered my threshold so much, 6 months after I stopped it I am not the same, I am not the same anymore. Please be careful and think ten times before you decide to drop it."


"I took Cytoxan through an i.v and it knocked my Wegener's in remission. I am having a flare up and will begin the Cytoxan orally tomorrow. I am praying that it has the same effect."


"I am a 61 yr old female who has had High Blood pressure problems for years. It is a family thing...recently my doctor put me on Bystolic after dealing with a BP of 189/108 and heart rate of 100-110 for two months.  Within a day or so, my BP was down to 110/69 and heart rate at 68.  I feel so much better since being switched from an ace inhibitor to a beta blocker that I can't believe it.  This medicine also helps with the fact that I have a static blood pressure due to my deep vein insufficiency.  I have had no side effects and feel so much better!  Thanks for making this medicine!"


"I received all three injections in my right knee.  I am able to walk long distances without my knee swelling.  I am truly happy with the product"


"I am 20 years old and have been suffering with acne since I was 14. I tried EVERY topical lotions, antibiotics, and face washes you can think of and nothing worked on my stubborn skin. I was terrified of going on Accutane because of some bad reviews I read about it. After talking with my dermatologist, I decided to give Accutane a shot. Best decision of my life!! I am currently almost done with my third month and my skin feels so smooth and looks amazing. I have so much more confidence in myself and can go out without worrying about my skin looking horrible. The only side effects I have gotten so far are dry skin and very dry lips (I carry Chapstick with me 24/7!). Other than that, all I can say is Accutane is truly a miracle."


"Its Amazing"


"I took Livalo 2mg every other day for 2 weeks total of 5 pills now I  have neck and shoulder pain with stiffness, ankles, knees weak,  with hip pain.  I have been on other statins with muscle pains, but this is the worse.  I have not taken any more Livalo in 4 days. Some muscle pains are better but the neck and shoulder are the worst today.  I am tired of trying statins.   I am done !!!!"


"Started sept 30 weighed 202.8. It is now october and now weigh 190.0 pretty pleased that this pill suppresses my hunger and appetite. I used to snack all day on junk food. Started eating healthy and trying to excersise as much as i can atleast by walking more. Dry mouth, drink lots of water. At night i actually fall asleep quicker than i ised to but i wake up earlier than i did as well feeling energized. First time taking it and im completely pleased with my results. My goal is 150lbs im 5'2" idealy a healthy weight should be 130-140 bt ive been overweight all my ñife so ill be pretty happy at 150.."


"A couple of summers ago, I got a spider bite that unfortunately developed into a full blown MRSA outbreak, which spread to multiple parts of my body! I ended up being hospitalized for 3 weeks while trying to clear up the horribly painful infection, where they gave Me extreme doses of antibiotics & Dilaudid (4mg) IV every 2 hours. Within moments of each dose, ALL the pain would fade away & I'd get incomparable relief!!! However on the opposite extreme, the tablet form of this medicine (hydromorphone) that the doctor sent Me home on, didn't even compare. I couldn't even tell after taking it, I would rate the pill form a 1!"


"Update: Going into my fifth month on Sprintec. It works fine - my period is right on schedule and very light; no serious side effects. My mood dips around my period, but that's not new for me (happened prior to taking BCP too). Nonetheless I hate this medication. I hate how it makes me retain water constantly, to the point of physical discomfort around the last two weeks of active pills. I hate how sluggish it makes my body feel. I hate how it screws around with my GI tract. It could just be weather changes, but now I'm getting a lot of headaches (which hasn't happened before this month).

Don't let this scare you; If you have to be on BCP, Sprintec gets the job done. Personally though, I'm getting off this pill as soon as humanly possible."


"I've been on minoclyine 100mg now for 9 days and notice a little bit of a difference. I have moderate back acne that I need gone by summer. Hopefully as time goes on this gets better. No side effects which is great. I've been suffering from back acne now for 5 yrs. Anyways I also use benzole body wash. I will update again if my back acne completely clears up. Good luck to you as well!"


"I have Chronic Pain in my leg as well as Nerve Pain that is moderate to severe, I also have CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) I have had five low back surgeries, one of the surgeries they replaced L4-L5 disc with a titanium disc and still I'm in pain 24/7. The best and I mean the very best was Levorphanol 2mg, along with other medicines, but the main pain medicine was Levorphanol.  Unfortunately I have not be able to get it since last April, 2010 due to supplier shortage. I have switch to Morphine 60mg. "


"Was prescribed Macrobid by my physician for UTI.  On the third day of taking this medicine, my hands became numbed. It was so bad that when I was driving to work, my left hand slipped off the steering wheel. Talking about scared. I thought I was going to drive off the bridge. They need to do something about this medicine. Because the severe side effect that I received, this medication is dangerous. I'm still suffering from weakness from both hands. And it's very scary when I have to go somewhere. I never thought that I would get this bad reaction from this medication."


"A. Dermatologist told me that my diet doesn't effect my epidermis B. Only tried giving me tetracycline, not even minocycline or doxycycline. C. when I was15 and a half and I have to sign some paper about side effects including major depression, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and early epiphyseal bone closure.  My father majored in psychology but also signs the form for me to take the drug. D.   Now I'm 18 and my acne is fairly bad again, stupidly decide to take another 6 month cycle.  E.  I am now only about an inch taller & wear the same shoe size compared to when I finished the first cycle of isotretinoin, and have experienced major depression, suicical ideation & attempts, manic episodes & psychotic episodes. F. I wish I had never taken this drug"


"This was the first brand of oral birth control I tried. Within an hour of taking it, I experienced awful pains in my uterus and spine. It was my normal period pains x100. I also became so nauseous and sick because of it that I had to take time out."


"I have been taking different depression medicines for over 20 yrs. Been taking Celexa for the past 4, but even with an increase, I noticed no difference. I didn't realize that depression was causing me to sleep constantly. I could barely function due to my fatigue. I'm a homemaker that could barely get through one little chore a day.
After starting 5mg of Abilify, I am a new person! No more naps, rested in the morning, & getting a lot accomplished every day. I am so relieved, & feel so much energy! My appetite has increased, so I hope this is a temporary side effect. Sometimes I feel like I can't sit still either, so I may cut back on the dosage. I've got my life back, & so hope this medicine can help others that are suffering!"


"After several weeks of constipation (not that I was ever regular), my doctor had me try this. Ironically I'd just picked up a package of it.

I took it around 5pm and had a bowel movement at 9am the following morning. I want several times after that.

There was lots of tummy grumbling but no cramps to speak of.

I did feel "off" the rest of the day but I believe that was due to a fever with the cold I was coming down with.

Would definitely use this again."


"I am a 32 yr old mom of 3. I was at my heaviest ever! 220, I decided I needed to change and stat! My Doc started me on the lowest dose back in Dec of 2014, and as of today (4-5-2015) I am currently down to 185. My goal weight is 160. He raised me to the biggest dose of 37.5 daily. And today was my first dose and at the gym I had to cut it short because of being dizzy. I thought I was going to throw up as well. So I went to bathroom and fell on floor. I slowly walked out and drive home. I took some Tylenol and laid back down for an hour. But still 2 hours after the first feeling of this is still feel dizzy and weak. Never experienced anything like this with the other doses. Is the dose possibly too high?"


"I bought this for a cough for my bronchitis. It is beyond worthless. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. I called my doctor for a prescription for Robitussin with Codeine and it was $5.00 cheaper and very effective. (generic-of course)"


"I went on my first pack this month and am taking my third week right now and just experienced some major break through bleeding ( which I guess is normal so well see how it keeps going) but as far as my acne I used to have insane cysts on my cheeks and chin. Within one week, I had no cysts but just minor small pimples which I'm totally fine with. So I'm on my third week and I don't get the painful cysts anymore. I just had one or two small ones on my chin but that's it!  would recommend for acne but the break through bleeding scared me."


"In 2000 I had 4 surgeries to repair an anal fistula.  The surgeries were successful in that they did repair the fistula but they also left me in severe chronic pain.  Pain in the rectum area is very difficult to treat.  I've been to numerous doctors in Columbus, where I live and only 2 were willing to prescribe Oxycontin.  When I was taking the Oxycontin the pain was much better and I could actually sit down at a desk and do a job.  Then the last doctor took me off because I'd been taking them for so long and now I can't find a doctor to prescribe them again.  Consequently I'm back to suffering with terrible pain because doctors are afraid to prescribe Oxcontin in Ohio unless the patient has cancer, which I don't."


"I took Gildess 1/20 for a full year. Everything started out fine, but around the 7-8 month mark, my periods started coming in all over the place and my skin broke out like I was in middle school. I either had two periods a month, or none at all. I didn't notice any weight gain, but did experience occasional mood swings. Overall, it prevented pregnancy, but did not give me a regular cycle."


"I recently had an acute flare up with my Sciatica. The pain was unbearable with complete numbness down my right leg. I have suffered for 8 years with chronic sciatic pain wavering in intensity. This last time I went to my doctor requesting pain killer relief stronger than the Diclofenac and Baclofen I usually take which was ineffective. I was prescribed the 5/500 strength, 1 three times a day. This had zero effect on my pain. I took additional acetaminophen to augment the 500mg in the Vicodin. I have an appointment this week to seek a medicine that will bring me relief to I can enjoy life again."


"I've taken this pill for a little over 2 years. I really liked the pill when I was single (mainly took it for cramping and lighter periods). It didn't break me out, cause me to gain weight, or have any mood swings. However once I got into a relationship, I noticed a very significant negative side effect (for me). I realized having been on this pill I have no sex drive whatsoever and I'm completely dry which causes pain when I'm having sex. That to me caused me to want to seek an alternative birth control, which is a shame since everything else was great."


"Ok I don't lie but I went on it because of tremendous pain. I didn't even know was caused by heroine. Let me tell you something, it was the best thing I ever did. I got my life together and no doubt it helped with my mood and pain. Unfortunately my symptoms are so severe now I can't sit still or stand or work. My life had become not of my own. I would say try it because you have nothing to loose but don't fool yourself because there are always withdrawals, you must listen to your Dr!!!! I only wish I had a Dr who could help me. I'm on disability and cant find anyone to help. I'm in a living hell but I wont show it. I would do anything to be able to walk down the street without my legs going out from under me. I'm only 46. Hope its your miracle."


"I have been on advair for over 10 years. I have never breathed better. Before I couldn't even walk without being out of breath. I do experience a lot of side effects such as oral thrush, and headaches; however, being able to breathe outweighs the side effects. I would recommend this medication to anyone with asthma."


"I have had the Skyla IUD in me since October 2014. The insertion wasnt so bad, cramps for a day. Birth control pills were not agreeing with my body and surprisingly Skyla has been the best option for me. During the first two months I had constant spotting and mood swings. So far I have had no new side effects. I do spot a little bit during days my periods are supposed to arrive (which, isnt that often. Maybe like once per 4 months or more) and if I sit in a funny position sometimes i can feel the IUD poke me. My boyfriend and I do not use condoms anymore, and felt no need for them. I havent had any pregnancy scares at all. Definitely recommend for younger girls who have never had children, and dont plan to have any for the next while"


"In 2003, I had initially tried Remeron to deal with anxiety/insomnia but after 4 months and going through major depression, I started on Effexor.  I took Ativan to get me through the first few weeks for anxiety until the Effexor kicked in.  It definitely helped me get my life back.  My only problem is the weight gain - about 25 lbs.  I have tried to wean myself down from my highest dose of 225mg/day to as low as 37.5mg but had reoccuring depression and anxiety so have gone back up."


"Love, Love, Love. No periods. No cramps. No nothing. Don't even know its there. Just got my first one replaced this year. And still in love."


"My blood pressure was 170/100. Doctor gave me a 10mg per day prescription and within hours of taking the first pill, my BP was 108/70.  I was super lightheaded for the first 4 days when I walked, and I have an occasional cough.  After 6 weeks of hovering around 117/79, I reduced myself to 5 mg per day, and my BP is now 102/77 as of today. I eat healthy and walk an average of 5 miles every day for exercise but remain stubbornly overweight."


"I've had chronic constipation since I was four. It was so bad that I literally had to see a "poop doctor" until I was about 7. I started using Miralax whenever I was constipated at that point, and never once has it failed me. I once had a 2-week period of constipation, my worst period of time ever, so I began taking one capful twice a day. Two days later, I produced two toiletfuls of stool. It ached a bit afterwards, but the process was very, VERY quick and you could NOT believe how relieved and relaxed I felt afterwards. I'm in my late teen years now, and I still take it whenever I haven't gone for at least 3-4 days. It usually takes a day or two to work, but it's completely worth it."


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


"I took Plan B after approx. 2 hours after unprotected sex. That same day after a few hours I started to feel VERY bloated, and felt like that the following day as well. I honestly had difficulties driving since I also had pain on my right ovary area! I got my period 1 week after the pill and 1 week before it was supposed to be. Not to mention, but I've always gotten heavy period with NO cramps...just very bad headaches, they are awful! But girls Plan B really works. Definitely $50 is really worth it! Hopefully this help."


"Have Been Taking for about a week and a half have had nausea and stomachache the whole time. Got very sick one day think I ate to much. Weight was 195 when starting haven't checked since starting. Just moved to 1.2 will see how goes my blood sugar. Has not changed, around 200 and on the very sick day was 340. I am hoping it will start to drop. Have tried every medicine out there for type 2 and nothing has worked do not want to go on incline. Medicine like metformin has brought my blood sugar down but it makes me very sick. Hope to give good news down the road time will tell."


"I experienced muscle pain in my arm; they felt very tired and sore. I stopped taking the cephalexin after 4 days and my skin infection came back. I started taking it again after missing one day and the infection went away again but the next morning my neck and shoulders were very sore and it hurt to move. "


"I have been taking 100mg bid for over a year now. I have never been so normal feeling in my gut. I do have some bad days with it, just depends on what I eat. I get stuck gas sometimes and have to really push and typically take a phazyme to relieve it. I don't get any adverse reactions. It's a pain in the butt at the pharmacy, but well worth it. I have had crohn's for 15 years now, had major bowel resection surgeries and lost my ileum. Every BM was watery and explosive and very very painful. After a few weeks of taking it, I was happy but did not think it would work for long. And this has seriously put me in remission and I have average 3 BMs a day that are semi-solid versus my old average at 15 or more per day. Changed my life!!!"


"I was on 2 antibiotics (8 pills a day) for 10 days because of MRSA, taking the pharmacist's advice I got some probiotics, yogurt, and the monistat 3 prefilled treatment. I had no problems. Now about 5 weeks later I get another YI so I decided to take the same thing day 1 was fine but day 2 (today) I was feeling like my vagina was on fire!!!! I've got an 8:30 class and I'm up at 1:30 . I won't be finishing the treatment. I'll stick with the probiotics, yogurt, and the medicated wipes I found. They burn too but the burning goes away much faster that the monistat."


"completely lost every bit of sex drive i had. gained about 10 pounds, mostly in my breast. helped my acne slightly."
