"I immediately got worried because of the many negative reviews for this drug. But I decided to just take it and see what happens. I was to take it 2X daily for 3 days.

The first day that took it, I felt a little nauseous and a little off, but nothing major. The second day I felt totally fine after taking the 2 doses for that day. Today I am on the last day, I feel MUCH better (I can still feel slight burning when urinating is not totally gone but definitely a big difference than when I started). I am hoping that after this last pill all pain and irritation will be gone.

Antibiotics work differently for everyone, so my advice is don't get freaked out by all the negative reviews. I normally don't even write reviews but I felt the need to"


"I am on day 14 of using Carac. My face is extremely red, tight, itchy and a little sore, but I've had serious eczema in the past and this isn't nearly as bad as that was. It took about a week to show up on my forehead but then a couple more days they started intensifying on my cheeks, chin and sides of my face.  It is a little unsightly but once I explained to people what was going on and that it wasn't permanent or contagious they seemed to relax.  I tried Vaseline for moisturizing but that seems too greasy.  Products with zinc oxide in them seem to give me relief and protect me from the sun as well.  Please do not spend ANY time in the sun when using this.  The doctor told me it could permanently make your skin darker in those areas!"


"I have been on this medication for 5 years. I take one 10 mg pill probably 3 times a month. I get 5 hours of  sleep. I have never experienced any side affects, I only wish I could get at least 7 hours. My new insurance does not cover it without prior authorization. More paperwork,or phone call for my Doctor."


"I absolutely love my Skyla. Insertion was pretty uncomfortable, but was completely bearable. I spotted on and off for the first few months, which was annoying, but not a deal breaker. Finally after about 6 months my periods have levelled out and are regular again. I get very minimal cramping a few days before, and a light flow that lasts about 6 days. I have had no other negative side effects and I LOVE not having to remember a pill every day! Plus, every other birth control I've tried has given me horrible moods swings, horribly tender breasts, and acne. I haven't experienced any of those with Skyla. I would highly recommend this and have already sung it praises to all my friends."


"I was recently hospitalized for 4 days with a duodenal ulcer. They ran PROTONIX through an IV--I was in miserable pain..Within 2 days, No Problems, and I could eat again. I'm now on 40mg 2x day, and soon decreasing to 1. It REALLY works, with No side effects!"


"I was prescribed tramadol 50 MG, to help with my really bad neck pain. The original dosage was one at a time. Then I went back because it wasn't helping, so he said that I could take two. I did, AS THE DOCTOR SAID and spent the next 24 hours too high to see straight. I couldn't drive, think straight, or make coherent sentences."


"I had an incredibly bad reaction to Bactrim that led to Multiple Organ dysfunction / failure.  I ended up in ICU for several days with liver and kidney failure that progressed into a pulmonary edema / A.R.D.S..  I came very close to dying after my kidneys shot down and my lungs filled with fluid.  I have now been advised to never take another Sulfa based drug."


"I have chronic insomnia, my doctor had me on 2mg of Xanax which worked great. When I switched Drs, they wouldn't write prescriptions for Xanax. Put me on Restoril, didn't work, now I've been on 50mg Vistaril for several nights. It helps me sleep pretty well, but during the day I feel so out of it. I am so dizzy and light headed, even when I'm sitting I feel like I'm going to pass out! If this keeps up, I don't think I'll be able to continue this medication."


"I got the skyla iud inserted in March 2015. No pain what so ever just felt like period cramps nothing to cry about. But then again I've had 3 vaginal deliveries so guess I can't feel pain.  So far with skyla my hair is falling out,mood swings, weight gain. I been reading around on skyla because I'm getting scared reading everything about mirena . Everyone's body is different.  So far it's worked for me."


"I've been on Aviane for about a month now and I really like it.  I've had very little breakthrough bleeding, but I did experience some strange cramping.  Also, it's my first week of the placebo pills, but I haven't gotten my period yet.  Not sure if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this."


"I am an 18 year old female. I started taking Wellbutrin about 7 months ago for depression/anxiety. Honestly, I haven't noticed much of a difference. I think it has helped me control my emotions a bit more though/feel more stable. I've just started my first year of college and I've had a rough time but I think the WB helps keep my meltdowns to a minimum (sort of). I was hoping to lose a bit of weight but I didn't really notice any loss of appetite. I've DEFINITELY noticed that if forget to take it for a day I feel absolutely miserable. Even if I take it a bit off schedule I feel sad for a day. Also, if I drink a bit too much, my hangover is AWFUL and I feel very sad the next day. Keep the drinking to a minimum or don't."


"Caused migraines and blurred vision."


"Savella has helped with my muscle pain, frequency of migraine headaches, brain fog and energy.  I haven't really had any major side effects.  This medicine has helped me more than anything I've been prescribed so far....and that is a pretty long list!"


"I’ve been on Mirtazapine for about three - four years now. In the beginning I was groggy throughout the day & I have gained quite a bit of weight, but it’s worked wonders for my depression. I find it’s less effective against the anxiety, for which I am taking quetiapine & propranolol. It has a sedative effect so I take it before bed. I also found though, with this medication I would have bizarre dreams that felt very, very real. Overall, very little side effects & wonderful at tackling my depression. But again - wouldn’t use this for anxiety."


"I used to be hospitalized at least every 6 months with my asthma problems as a child until my adolescence. I have tried EVERY inhaler and pill to help with the symptoms. Then I started Advair when I was 15. I am 24 now and I haven't been hospitalized in 10 years. The only problem I have is tachycardia."


"Amrix did nothing for tight muscles. No side effects but no effects period."


"For Osteoporosis: In 2014 the Dr.  prescribe me Prolia due to its stronger potency, along with the continued Cal-VitD tablet. Though my bone density increased some % since taking Prolia, starting one year ago I was feeling a constant back pain, from right to left of my hip, now and constantly 90% on the left side, I was diagnosed with weakness of the last 5 lumbar vertebrates. I do pilates reformer since 4 years ago as a therapy three times a week, walk almost every day 4-5 Km and play golf 1-2 x week, I used to be very actvive, but this back pain is really hurting and making me depressed. "


"I have taken Nexium for over 12 years. I have had a low Magnesium problem for 10 years and severe dry mouth for 3 years. My Doctor wants me to continue with Nexium but I cannot continue. The Mag problem is very serious and I have had emergency doses of Mag to get my levels back up. The dry mouth is causing me to have numerous Dental problems. I really have to quit Nexium."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for a year now and I've been relatively happy. I'm 17 and not sexually active, but my doctor prescribed me the pill to help with my PCOS. Since I wasn't looking for it for birth control purposes, I was mainly focusing on acne, the duration and pain of my periods, and weight changes. I experienced absolutely no weight change and my periods almost and when I did get my period they were painful, but they were so infrequent so it wasn't a concern. I noticed also that my acne got worse. Fortunately I have not experienced any mood changes, appetite changes, migraines, etc. Overall I think as a first time birth control user, it's been an ok experience but if you're looking for acne solutions, maybe try something else."


"The very first day I started on this pill I went looking for reviews. To be completely honest I have no idea why I did this because it just scared the crap out of me and made me believe I was going to have some crazy side effects or symptoms. I believe most of us go out of our way to write a review when a product is negative, therefore we see all the bad. From my personal experience this pill was AH-MAZING. Firstly, I was terrified of weight gain. I already struggle to keep my weight low and suffer from a slow metabolism. I have to workout and eat healthily regularly. I have gained no weight. I've had a regular period. No break outs and no long lasting spotting. No sex drive issues. No mood swings. I have been completely unaffected :) y"


"I have been on Junel for a year and 1 month.  I love everything about it except the weight gain.  I have always struggled with my weight and I have gained about 15-20 pounds in a year.  HOWEVER, it is the only bad side effect.  My periods are super light, much like spotting, and only lasts a few days.  My cramps are about the same, mostly in my back and legs but taper off as my period continues.  This month I actually had NO PERIOD!  My mood swings have actually calmed down a bit and I feel great taking the pills.  I do not see me coming off the pills anytime soon!  I have United HealthCare and it completely covered the birth control, even the co-pay."


"I've had insomnia for 10 years; couldn't shut my brain off! My uncle is a doctor & flipped when I told him I hadn't slept in 16 days. He immediately prescribed tricyclic antidepressants & sent me for a sleep study; in only 4 hours of sleep, I woke up 69 times. The antidepressants made me suicidal. Everything else worked for just a few weeks. I started getting depressed, panic attacks, anxiety, quit working, having seizures, became a shut in, cried every single day, then became suicidal. The only thing that stopped me was the thought of my family finding me. I was then prescribed Ambien & it worked well but made me hungover. Amitriptyline worked but gave me bad muscle spasms. Finally, I was put on 2mg Klonopin. I can sleep now!"


"It was effective, but it made my hair fall out. When I told the doctor, his response was, "That's not a side effect." I did my own research - It IS a side effect. It is a serious side effect that the doctor's don't tell you about. I switched doctors and medication."


"Horrible !  My husband has asthma and his doctor switched him to the RespiClick and he gets little to no relief.  With 1 or 2 hits on his old inhaler his lungs would open up,  the wheezing would stop. With the RespiClick, it often takes 4 or 5 hits just to open up a tiny bit, often leading to a breathing treatment to get real relief.  Why they would consider this a "rescue" inhaler is beyond me.  Avoid this inhaler even if you get the "free" coupon.  Not worth it."


"Almost done my first pack of Alesse. This is the first birth control that I've been on and the experience hasn't been too great. I had extreme nausea the first three days, extreme anxiety for three days after that, and painful breasts that followed and have not stopped. My breasts have also grown a bit (but that's more of a good thing). I'm hoping that the side effects will eventually go away but so far it has been a negative experience. I'm scared to switch to other pills in fear of the symptoms being worse."


"I take 25 mg at night, yes I get drowsy during the day, so yes I drink more coffee, but I just crave sleep. The bottom line is that I can function, the main reason for taking them was insomnia, and now I have good regular sleep patterns. I don;t feel like getting up in the morning, but I feel like going to bed at normal times and generally I feel normal after feeling so strained and stressed out with insomnia - a result of some anxiety and compulsive thinking. I still wish I could sleep right through the night and I probably can on 50 mg, but with 25 mg I think I get enough restful sleep, and 50 mg makes it harder to keep functioning during the day."


"I'm 42 years old and perimenopause has taken over my life. My estrogen dominance was so bad that for 8 whole days before I even started my period I was almost bed ridden. My breasts were so sore, it was as if they were engorged and I, at times, felt a low grade fever coming on. I have a 21 day cycle.  I have one week a month that I felt pretty OK... Only one week a month!!  Went to the Obgyn and begged for help.  I'm now day 5 on prometrium. So far my head is clear, no boob pain, I'm awake not tired, not hungery either. I do have some uterine cramps every afternoon for some reason. I can't wait to see how my whole cycle will be. So far so good, very happy."


"I began Contrave in early 2015, and as of July I have lost 25 pounds. This is significant because I was not very big to begin with, and I stopped taking the medicine for a few months in the middle. I began as recommended, and the side effects hit me immediately. I was nauseous, constantly tired, had abdominal pain, lack of focus, and I became sick any time I put any food in my mouth. I guess it was a great way to lose weight, but not the way I wanted to do it. I was miserable. So I quit for a while, but decided to give it a second chance. I did not increase my dosage as quickly, and I only went up to 2 pills a day. I still have occasional loss of concentration and fatigue, but it is no where near as bad, and I'm losing weight."


"I have had severe anxiety and loss of motivation since starting this 2 months ago. My emotions have been out of control. I have had weight gain and water retention. The pain I used to experience due to my endometriosis is nonexistent now, but the vaginal dryness I've started experience has made sex equally as painful. I've been constantly exhausted but unable to fall asleep. I am done with this medication"


"This medication gave me STEVENS-JOHNSONS SYNDROME"


"This was my 2nd colonoscope. Sureprep tasted better than 2 bottles of miralax and no nausea. However after fasting all day and caefully following the directions. Started first dose at 6 pm follow by 5 glasses of water. Still no BM. Took 2nd dose at MN followed by 5 more glasses of water. It hits at 1am. I was up all night going till my bottom was raw. My BM's were pure liquid. But still evacuating once I got to the hospital at 7:30 am. This was horrible. As I woke I felt bile all over my sheets and bottom. There attempted to clean me out during test but Sureprep DID NOT clean me out enough for the exam and I have to repeat do to failed clean out. No large abnomalities seen but no bx could bw obtained. Very reluctent for a reppeat.Ug"


"It was awful. I had a period that lasted two months out of the three months I was on it. It was the heaviest I've ever experienced, and caused pain. I gained 20 pounds during that time. I finally went to the doctor and changed my form of BC."


"Doc prescribed ortho-tri lo but my insurance paid for this alternative. After 2 weeks of taking this pill, I've had cramps and spotting every day and feel very bloated and irritable. I have a call into my doctor asking if I should see it through and hope things improve or just stop and get this out of my system. Frustrating."


"Linzess has been a life saver. I started out on 145mg and now up to 290mg. Greatly reduces boating and discomfort normally felt after eating and keeps my bowls moving :)"


"I have been on Sprintec for a month and a week now after taking a month of minastrin 24 fe (Sample given by doctor). I went on birth control purely to cure my acne, but, so far I have found that it has worsened. I will wait until 3 months to truly decide whether to switch; however, I am very hopeful that within this or next month it will help my skin :)"


"Not very good"


"I've been on the Nuvaring for 4 months now. It is effective as a birth control and has cleared up my skin a bit, although I still get a few hormonal cysts a month. It has not affected my mood and it pretty much feels like I'm not on anything. Most days I wonder if it is even in, but it always is when I check. One side effect is I have lost 15 pounds since I started it."


"Okay, so the taste is disgusting. It tastes like grape ocean water. It took me about 10 minutes to get down the first dose. However, some people say it takes 1 to 2 hours to work... For me it took about 5 minutes. Felt a few rumbles, passed some gas, and then I had to go. Started going a lot for the first hour then it slowed down a lot. I was able to sleep all night. The second dose took me a lot longer to get down, however it worked almost instantly again. Going a lot for about an hour and then slowed down. I barely ate anything at all so I'm not sure if that's why it went right through me or not. Long story short, make sure you are by a bathroom as soon as you take it! I also added a splash of apple juice to it."


"I had sex with my boyfriend, the condom broke. He went to buy the Plan B pill right after that happened. After about an hour I took the pill. I'm still waiting to get my period. I'm so worried."


"My husband started 800mg Votrient 12 months ago 3 months post right renal nephrectomy with grade 4 renal cell carcinoma nodules in both lungs. CT scans 3 months later showed all nodules had shrunk, last 3 CT scans have revealed no change and he is stable BUT he is suffering from massive bouts of diarrhea as in some days / nights 10 or more times, he finds drinking the required amount of water makes him nauseous but he looks dehydrated, pale and is lethargic. Because of the urgent diarrhea he is always worried about going places unless he knows where he can rush to the toilet so he tend not to go far so this really impacts his life, he also has vomiting at times. His specialist only says to take anti diarrhea  tablets and prescribed Maxalon."


"I've been on it for about a week, just about to up it to 30 mg.  I have had no dizziness or nausea.  I can say for me, it has an immediate effect after taking it. I feel just a tad loopy and very relaxed for about an hour after.  Not sleepy or anything, just relaxed.  It has definitely suppressed my appetite.  It seems to be working already, I'm not grinding my teeth all day, so my jaw no longer hurts and I'm able to focus a bit better.  I like it way better than clonazapam or any benzo I've been given.  I do not get panic attacks and I'm also on bupropion."


"I was a very active, energetic, workaholic before getting CFS.
Doing heavy physical labor & paperwork for  30 to 40 hrs at a time was no problem for me.

Then it hit. I was devastated. I spent $4000  on tests & went to many Doctors. Finally I was diagnosed CFS.
He was doing a clinical trial on Provigil (modafinil) & the early results were so good he wrote me a Rx for it.

When I restart taking it after not using for awhile (Insurance Company hassles)  I start with a 1/4 tablet (50 mg) for a few days, then 1/2 tab for about a week & 200 mg tablet per day. At times 2 tabs per day give me a slight extra boost.
With this I get up to 10-20 % of MY previous energy levels. It's a Blessing."


"I've had Skyla for a year and three months; The insertion was painful and uncomfortable, I had some VERY light spotting, cramping, and a bit of nausea the first day, but by the following day I was absolutely fine. All in all, this has been the BEST decision I've ever made in terms of birth control, prior to Skyla I took pills and they wreaked havoc on my body and libido, after almost three years I was fed up with the side effects so I opted to try something new. I would recommend this IUD to anyone reconsidering their current method of BC, the simplicity and joy of not having to remember a pill every night, emergency prescription runs, and the improvement in the overall feeling of my body is incredible and well worth one day of discomfort."


"I haven't seen a xanax in the US from a US pharmacy with the name brand xanax scored on the pill in over 20 years. these had no taste. Real xanax have a very distinct taste. and it never melted in my mouth. xanax always melt in my mouth within a few minutes. I've seen videos on youtube of people pressing them. My advice is. Get a prescription from a doctor and get them from the pharmacy because that wasn't the first time I saw these.. The streets are flooded with these  bars."


"Soolantra isn't nothing short of miraculous. I have had Rosacea for the last 6 years. I tried everything. I was using Clinique products for the last 2 years and they seemed to stop working. My face broke out so badly that I cancelled my plans for about a week and would only leave the house if forced, with heavy makeup. I went to a new dermatologist expecting the same old options. She gave me a trial sized tube of Soolantra and I saw results almost immediately. My skin tone is so even, it's amazing. I went without it for two days and the redness started to come back with some blotches. It took about three days using the medication and it cleared up. I use clear zinc oxide cream over it (SPF 50) and there are days I actually go without makeup"


"Seems to take the edge off the chronic back pain caused by compressed disc. I've been taking this medicine for well over a year. No side effects or ability to function."


"Phentermine has worked very well for me. Started on the medication around Thanksgiving and I have lost 18 lbs. That is a lot considering that I started at 150 lbs and I am 5'4". I wanted to get off about 20 lbs that I had gained through menopause. My appetite was out if control. My doctor recommended a low carbohydrate diet because I was insulin resistant. Basically, I am eating chicken, fish, beef, ham and turkey that is somewhat low fat. I still cook my chicken in a little bit of olive oil. I also put a small amount of butter on veggies. No sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. Read carb levels on salad dressings or sauces. My goal is to eat no more than 20 carbs per day. Drink a lot of water!"


"Amazing medicine"


"Only on week 1 of this med, but I CANNOT believe the change in my mood. I am taking this to treat bipolar 2, anxiety and poor sleep quality. I take 50mg at night and sleep like a baby. Make sure to get 8-10 hours of sleep/night and you won't feel drowsy the next morning. It's eliminated my anxiety entirely and I feel completely stabilized. I haven't had any trouble with weight gain; in fact, I've already lost a few lbs, due to the fact that I no longer feel emotionally-driven to binge eat. No side effects as far as I can tell. An ABSOLUTE MIRACLE DRUG. Just praying the results hold up."


"I have had sleeping issues since I was very young. This medication is the best thing to help me sleep."


"If you take this right before you're going to bed you'll be fine. Don't take it when you still have stuff to do. I take ambien and Zoloft every night right when I'm getting into bed. It doesn't knock me out or anything but it does help me fall asleep faster and stay asleep for more hours."


"I had debilitating migraines for 15 years and went on a small dose of Depakote (125 mg) twenty years ago. It was amazing. Maybe five headaches over all those years. However I have now gone off hormones and having steady weight gain, increased dizziness and some depression. I am uncertain what to do. Our chemistry changes as we age, and the science is not keeping up."


"I am 64 and have been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder by some mental health clinicians and a schizo-affective disorder by others.  Off and on I have had auditory hallucinations which for the last couple of months have been constant. I was hospitalized for a week and switched from Zyprexa to Geodon.  I noticed a difference within the first 24 hours.  Now, I am back home and have no hallucinations. Miraculous!  I stop and listen for the hallucinations, but they simply are not there.  It will take a while for me to "trust" the medication, but nothing has worked so well without severe side effects. So far, I am delighted."


"Since being put on 6 months ago (severe, resistant hypertension), along with diet and exercise, I have lost 60 lbs and my heart rate is usually in the mid -40s to low 50s when and complete rest (evenings) and in the high 50s - low 60s during the day.  I have experienced no negative side effects.  Drowsiness was present for the first week or two, but after that I adjusted and feel no side effects.

Most important thing - if you are doing aerobic exercise while on this medication, DO NOT USE A HEART MONITOR as it does reduce heart rate.  Normal heart rate ranges while on this medication to not apply and can cause damage if you attempt to the normal 180bpm.  Consult a physician for activity restrictions while taking Carvedilol."


"Had a serious case of cellulitis and didn't go in until suffering 7 days of intense swelling/pain in my right calf.  Prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice daily.  Didn't pay attention to no calcium or the option of taking with or without food.  First pill taken with food, no upset tummy.  Second pill taken with food and a cup of coffee loaded with cream, so I reduced its effectiveness considerably until I read up on it.  Third pill took without food, felt urpy for about half an hour but I wanted the full dose and suffered it out by hydrating with lots of hot tea and water.  It's the third day of usage and I finally feel some relief.  Pain in leg is less intense.  Swelling is nearly gone!  I can finally stand!  Happy I got it!"


"So far, so good!  I've had rosacea for over 20 years.  I've had good days and bad days.  It seemed like the bad days were coming more often, my confidence level plummeted, and the disease was affecting me at work, socially, etc. I was hesitant to try anything new from my dermatologist as it seemed like nothing was working. I figured that I had nothing to lose trying the Soolantra, as my doctor provided me with a few samples.  Within days of using the Soolantra, my face looked and felt great!  I've been using it for about a month now with glowing (pun intended) results.  I look and feel fabulous.  Kudos to Soolantra!"


"gave me yeast infection."


"After a spinal cord injury, Baclofen seemed to be the best option, but diagnosed with Brown-Sequard syndrome somehow made the Baclofen non-effective for me. Finally Soma was introduced, and it was a miracle.  Now insurance stopped covering it and they want to try Zanaflex or back to Baclofen. I'm scared."


"I took Harvoni for 12 weeks.
Out of those 12 weeks there were only 2 days that I really suffered with terrible headaches. Someone told me to stay away from all headache meds except
believe it or not, Tylenol. Please check with your doctor first. Drink plenty of water
After that.no more headaches. After treatment viral load zero. Waiting now for the 3 month test. I am geno 4.
"


"I have been on Lexapro for a little over a month now. I immediately saw a change in my engery level. I got the motivation to get out of bed and be active again. My temper has subsided a lot. I used to cry a lot and I have not cried in weeks. I actually stop and think prior to showing anger. It has helped so much. I have not seen any fluctuation in weight. I have been sleeping more soundly. This is the first medication I have been put on for this medication and it seems to be working great."


"I didn't notice at first why my acne was getting better, then I realized it was the birth control. After I  stopped the pill I noticed huge bumps on my chin and around my cheeks, and acne on my chest. I recently  re started back on the pill and my skin is all of a sudden clear again so it works for acne very well for me. Everyone seems to be different."


"I can't believe my insurance agreed to cover this! It's $10 per pill otherwise.
The 145mcg is a high enough dosage. 290mcg and your system will go nuts.
This medicine works great and usually within 12 hours.  Take it at the night, not in the morning like the instructions say.   Make sure you have the day off.  Best way to take it, have a light dinner, wait one hour, have dessert.  In one hour you will have bloating, cramps and gas. The cramps and bloating are normal. It means your system is moving. By the next morning (maybe sooner) the bowel movements will start.
DO NOT TAKE THIS EVERYDAY!  Your body will build an immunity if you do.  Keep hydrated as you will lose quite a bit of water."


"I went to my doctor and heard the words "obese".  It was a huge wake up call for me. I tried a weight loss program,the Adkins diet, weight watchers and when all of those failed, I consulted with a bariatric surgeon. On my first physical for the surgery, he said "let's try contrave and if this doesn't help, we will proceed with preparing for the surgery. That was on June 28th at 5'2 , 205 lbs. Today, August 27th, I weigh 164 lbs. My personal goal is 150 lbs. After that, my doctors, nutritionist and I will evaluate where to go from there. Contrave has changed my life. I've had no side effects and my appetite has reduced drastically. I love to exercise now and love fresh fruit. I will never be able to thank my prescribing doctor enough."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I was diagnosed with afibs about 6 years ago. Given flecinide and told to take 2 low dose aspirin. Recently the doctor told me aspirin was not sufficient to prevent a stroke. He prescribed eliquis 5mg twice a day. I have been suffering with headaches. They feel like pressure on the top of my head. In addition ,I am very tired and I don't feel as though I think as clearly. I will be seeing the doctor next week. I hope he takes me off this medication. I honestly do not feel well. I am 72 years of age."


"Effexor XR has been very helpful.  The only side effects I've noticed is a occasional, slight feeling of dizziness and increased sweating. The benefits greatly outweigh the side effects."


"Just started trying Klonopin, really helps me to feel less anxious and relaxed. Not as stressed as I usually am. Hope this lasts. I get great night sleep as well."


"This medication along with INVOKANA does the trick. I no longer have to take Humalog or any insulin. Invokana 1.8 does the trick, pen needles are easy, I use a short BD 30 for that I think. I inject that in my right leg always. Not saying that is the best, just easy for me. This medication actually lowered my A1C by helping my muscles to use the sugar better. I have had ZERO side effects. Taken it for a few years now. Highly recommend this. Only two 10 star ratings. This and Invokana!"


"Very good so far. Not nearly as sedating as Seroquel. Maybe a little more hungry, but also much more active, cycling, long walks etc., which is good."


"Not diabetic neuropathy, but neuropathic pain nonetheless. Works wonderfully...

...except for the terrible acne it's causing, and the relatively frequent but terrible headaches.

I also have some issues with anxiety; it has done exactly nothing of use there."


"I am allergic to a lot of pain meds. This is the only medicine I can take that takes the pain away."


"I used this in conjunction with Norvasc and atenolol and it seems to help me a lot in keeping my high blood pressure under control."


"I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy w/ cataplexy in 2009. I self drugged with energy drinks and coffee until I got my insurance back. I was on Provigil up until our insurance changed. My doctor switched me to Methlyphenidate 20mg 4x/day. If I am up and moving around it seems to work pretty good. But at work, I work a desk job and there are days that my head is bouncing off the desk from nodding. I do like this med better than provigil as it doesnt give me a headache I just wished it worked as well sitting down as standing up. Also when I get to hour 4-6 I can really feel myself slipping. Not fun."


"I'm a male 45 years old . I am 217 lb 5'9 .  I was very excited about reading the good reviews .  Started watching my portion control and my  carb intake . And one week later I was down 10 pounds .  Gives me good boost of energy and  curbs my appetite I can't believe how well it's working ."


"One important fact I did not notice in the description is that St. John's Wort is known to decrease the effects of hormonal birth control. Women using birth control who are considering St. John's Wort should either look for alternatives or add other birth control methods like condoms, diaphragms, spermicide, etc. to their routine. And of course, discuss it with your doctor if you are unsure of anything."


"I have been taking Latuda for about three weeks now for bipolar II.  I don't suffer too badly from it, mostly slight depression and irritability. Started week one on 40 mg and was still slightly depressed but not cranky. Upped it to 80 mg and am feeling sunshiny again. Positive attitude is back, interest in things, no longer cranky, more focused, more outgoing. The only MAJOR problem is I am sleepy all the time! I tried taking it at dinner, bedtime, and lunch. I pass out out at 8:30 at night, can't get up in the morning and fight to stay awake at my desk at work. I have read lots of other posts that people have said it passes after a month or so, I really hope so because otherwise its a great med. No other side effects for me."


"I have been taking Armour thyroid for 15 years, and have never had a side effect or problem. It has help me greatly with fatigue. It is a great and gentle drug.  Why on earth would they take it off the market.  I have noticed that it's getting difficult to get my prescription filled, but I was told it was a manufacturing problem??"


"I was put in the hospital a month before the delivery of my twins, and stadol worked great for contractions. It also helped me sleep a lot better."


"I tried Effexor XR after most of the SSRIs I recently tried gave me diarrhea for more than just the initial adjustment period. I tend to be more on the anxious side of life and the SSRIs seemed to treat that better than Effexor, but I cant be in the bathroom all day. 75mg/day works well for me currently. I was on 150mg for a year which worked well, but then suddenly my anxiety and obsessive thinking was coming back.The doc upped dose to 225 and I got way worse, so we lowered it and boom. way better. "less is more" worked for me this time. Effexor XR also has less side effects for me regarding fatigue, hunger, weight gain and sexual side effects. as a woman this is a huge perk. mental health- the struggle is real! Good luck!"


"I'v used Dovonex for about 20 years, I LOVE IT! It has never made the Psoriasis go completely away. It did come close though.
Maybe if I could afford to use it as prescribed it would , but @ $238.00 a tube the cheapest around my area; I just can't afford it.
I stretch a tube till it's just keeping the take over at bay instead of driving it away!
Dovonex truly works wonders."


"Very comfortable and soothing. I would recommend using it at night just to cut down on messiness.  It's not overly greasy and gross like I thought it would be- can barely tell it's there! Started applying it a few days ago and rash is on its way out!"


"I have extreme social and general, am bipolar, and insomnia so bad I would cry on and off all night ,every night. Besides other anxiety meds, I take 50mg to 100mg  of Seroquel every night about an hour before bed. It shuts off my racing thoughts, and I actually sleep. This has been my miracle because I was barely functioning, if at all. it does make me hungry, but I find if I eat a little something before I take it, I can control the munchies. This is little payment for the new life it's brought me."


"Three days ago, toward early afternoon, I noticed a slight tickle in the back of my throat. Then a slight cough. The next morning, boom! Full blown Flu. My whole body felt like I had been hit by an Amtrak train that didn't derail. I could barely clothe myself. I saw my doctor that evening. After about 5 minutes of taking a rather crude test for the flu witch consisted of a lady twisting a wooden stick with a course piece of felt at the end almost all the way up my nose, I tested positive for the Flu. The next day I started with a morning dose of applesauce and Tamiflu. To the best of my ability to judge, my symptoms were reduced within a few hours by about 30%. By that evening 35%. Day 2 50%. Today, day 3 Beers! And Tamiflu!"


"This was costly but it really helped the coughing and my cold! And helped me sleep!"


"I m 36 years old and in the last 5 months I have had terrible severe acne in the chin area. Two weeks ago my doctor prescribed Aczone to me and it is working. There are no new ones as I used to have 1-2 new pumps everyday. So happy with the cream. I'm taking another cream called Retin-A-Micro and antibiotic."


"So disappointed when they stopped making this product"


"I was admitted to the hospital with a severe headache and stiff neck. I was given Demerol on one occasion it didn't really help, And upon my next visit for the same headache 3 and a half weeks later I was given Tordol for my pain and Zofran for nausea...It sure didn't help. So I was put into a room where I asked for some pain medication and the nurse told me I could get Nubain for my pain. I had never had it before to the best of my knowledge..But get this.. The doctor that admitted me saw in my chart that I had taken Methadone in the past..He asked me DO YOU STILL TAKE METHADONE?? I SAID YES EVERY DAY. The nurse gave me the Nubain and I had instant withdrawals. One week later I'm still sick with a headache."


"I love yaz, it has it's downs like the tiredness and sometimes the bad headaches, but overall it's been a great birth control for me. I was on another one about two years ago, and nearly killed myself while on it because of the hormones. Me Yaz=Love."


"I bought a bottle of Biotene spray yesterday. At first I was a little mad. It's a tiny bottle for like $6. I didn't even wait to get home; I opened it in the car. Worth. Every. Penny. I don't know what is in it but it is amazing. In 0.02 seconds my mouth went from feeling like the Sahara desert to your next door neighbor Jimmy's slip'n'slide when he put the baby oil on it. Ok, all jokes aside. Immediately your mouth feels better because its all lubed up, but whatever is in it made me start salivating myself. And it tastes good too. Downside was it made my tongue swell, gave me those painful "lie bumps", made my throat hurt, and hard to swallow. I must be allergic to something in it, but all is good over here. No regrets; would try again."


"I just started Lexapro a week and a half ago.  I noticed results almost immediately.  The only side effect I encountered was a slight light-headed feeling that has since subsided for the most part.  I have felt like hell and have been struggling with anxiety/depression for the past six years without medication.  This stuff has literally saved my life.  I feel like my old self again.  My only regret is that I didn't try it sooner."


"I've read everyone's posts and am so jealous!  I've been coughing for 5 days now, and haven't had a decent night's sleep for the last 6 nights!  Dr. prescribed this medicine 3 days ago, took it, and nothing.  Seriously, nothing!  Felt a little relief 10 hours later, but nothing like what everyone else here has experienced.  I'm still coughing and miserable and am going to give it another try tonight."


"I've had the mirena since July of 2014. I got it put it when I was 16. Due to have endometriosis it was the best choice. ultimately it was a huge live saver the pain I had before has gone away. The insertion for me wasn't bad but I made a poor decision to go to varsity cheer practice the next day,bad idea. I don't really ever spot on a very rare occasion. I will though if I'm on a antibiotics , then it tends to mess with my mirena and I'll get cramps and will spot. Other then that it's been a good experience so far."


"I had pelvic surgery from the best uro/ gyn surgeon in the Houston area. He royally meshed up my surgery leaving me with pelvic anuryzm. My pain is at 10+/24-7 without meds. I have not found any meds that would bring the pain below a 7 before I found Subsys. My only issue with Subsys is it only last 3hrs......never more. My Dr. Has me on 800mcg.  He is very careful and will not increase it.  Subsys is great....it's just not a free for all."


"I've been taking since last year and my obsessive compulsive disorder is treated with almost no side effects. I avoid alcohol since I started."


"This is the only iron I will use.  Much better in terms of gastric distress.  Worth the extra money."


"Threw weeks after the initial start of this birth control I lost all my hair and still losing. I asked the doctor will it affect my hair and they said it would not and it definitely did. I'm distraught. Still no period it it's going in two months. I'm worried this implant did servere damage to my body. I wish I never put that bc in my arm."


"I was prescribed to one Seroquel 25mg tablet at night for Manic Depression and insomnia. I couldn't be happier, my anxiety and depression was significantly reduced. My energy and mood dramatically improved. And I get great sleep every night and I wake up refreshed and ready to start my day. Also, lt gives me the most vivid, wonderful dreams of all time. Taking this along with therapy from a psychologist is highly recommended for a successful outcome."


"I stated Saxenda on July 11, 2017. On my third day. Be glad when the little nausea stops. I have no appetite, must make myself eat something. Hopefully this will work. Will keep you posted."


"I started taking Latuda on the 20 mg. starter dose and am now up to 40 mg. at night.  I also take 1200 mg. per day of Lithium.  I started taking Latuda because the Lithium was not quite controlling the hypomanic break-through events.  The Latuda is amazing.  I started noticing the change about 3 days into it.  The main thing is that I feel calm, the best I have felt in about 20 years.  It does not make me that sleepy, although I used to have trouble falling asleep, and now it is no problem.  It does make me hungry, which I have to fight all day.  I will take hungry over feeling like crap any day."


"Norvasc has lowered my blood pressure from 160/102 to about 110/80 on 10 mg.  The side effects are debilitating for me.  I have horrible chest pains and unable to do much without exhaustion.  I have lost so much weight due to lack of appetite.  Dr. does not want to take me off because I have difficulty finding anything that lowers my blood pressure. I am also on Atenolol."


"I have been on Belviq since Monday. Starting weight was 222lbs just weighed in at 214lbs lost 8 lbs with only 1 pill a day, exercise 2 times a week.  So excited to start next week at 2 pills a day.  This really works."


"I began taking this form of birth control due to continuous high blood pressure.  I took it for roughly 3-4 years I'd say and did not realize how bad it made me feel until I stopped taking it!  My blood pressure has been regular the last 1 1/2-2 years, so my doctor decided to switch me to Ortho Tri-Cyc Lo Dose.  I've been off Camila for about a month now.  I noticed that within weeks of ceasing to use it, I had more energy, felt less bloated/lost a few pounds, and my moods have improved.  I also feel as if a weight has been lifted off of my body.  I was always so tired, I never wanted to go anywhere or do anything.  My energy level has improved so much over these last few weeks!  I am so glad I stopped taking this!  never again!!"


"Seroquel is an awesome medication for sleeping and some anxiety. Sometimes it's hard to say what I'm feeling because, I feel like an atomic bomb or something. I have ADHD, Bipolar 1, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Seroquel is great, I can see it doing wonders if I just had one thing. Was taking Adderall so when I took Seroquel I got schizophrenia at night like hearing and seeing things. Fun."


"Concerta makes me normal. It is great for men and women like us, its so effective to motivate and give us the psychological power to do everything we want in a day.

I have wasted countless days, and I mean COUNTLESS days playing Battlefield 3, talking to girls and going out with the guys which is great. But seriously, when your staring dead in the mirror. You see your potential but CANNOT grasp it. You begin to fall into a horrible mindset... hopelessness. I have a life now. Build my future. Secure my lifestyle and best of all. Grow into a desirable MAN."


"This is the only non prescription pain relief that will take away the pain of a toothache or any other body pain within an hour.  I have not found them effective for a migraine  headache."


"I went on the Nuvaring because I get excruciating menstrual migraines. My migraine specialist suggested that I try it and have triptans as a backup. The first month had only a few issues - headaces but Advil took them away. They were different symptoms than migraines. During the third week I experienced spotting/breakthrough bleeding for 9 days until it was time to take it out and ended up not having a period. I was worried but it turns out that you need to let your body adjust to it first and then it will get normal because it is a very mild dose of hormones. Eventually I'm planning to leave it in for 4 weeks but in the mean time I only had 1 migraine and could tell it was going to be bad so I took a triptan."


"So I just started this yesterday and wonder I am feeling a little bit worked up (sexually charged) has anyone else experienced this?

My main concern was dryness I had a hysterectomy, 11 years ago and was taking Estradiol and didn't really feel anything different would still get the hot flashes mostly during the day but BOY o BOY today definitely increased libido!

Just looking to see if this is normal?"


"i just had a total abdominal hysterectomy done 3 days ago 11/15/16. Dilaudid was awful for me. I was given it via IV along with anti neasea meds. Every time I could feel a wave of warmth and then within mins was vomiting terribly. I told them 11 hours after surgery that I didn't want any more and to giver only Tylenol. The vomiting stopped. I wouldn't recommend this at all"


"I am a 53 year old woman who took Cymbalta 90mg/day for years (pain from spinal degeneration and arthritis).  I ran out 6 weeks ago, and my doctor couldn't be reached to renew my prescription. I didn't feel very well for a few days, but then felt like I had before when I was taking Cymbalta (i.e., I realized it wasn't helping my pain) so I didn't restart it. I then began experiencing dreadful hot flashes and bed-drenching night sweats.  After three weeks of this, I knew it wasn't Cymbalta withdrawal...the Cymbalta had been controlling what I just thought was a smooth-sailing menopause!  I got my prescription refilled, but tried just taking 30 mg...and within days the hot flashes and night sweats stopped.  Very effective!"


"Eucrisa has helped the eczema on my face quite a bit, but it's so greasy that it's uncomfortable and has made my acne much worse. It would be great if they made a lotion version."


"Trying Accutane was one of the best decisions I ever made. I went through High School and even one year of college with lots of acne. I finally tried Accutane after using all of the things they sell on T.V, with zero results. The only side effects I have is dry skin, but that can be combated with chapstick and facial moisturizer. I just want to encourage anyone who has ever thought about trying Accutane, to go see your doctor and give it a try. "


"I got mine in my left arm in April 2016. I went to planned parenthood and they did the whole procedure in about a half hour. Just the numbing was painful. Um a week after I had intercourse with my boyfriend and I bleed like crazy I was so embarrassed. After a little while I thought it would go away. But it has been light spotting since and each and every time I have sex a whole stream of blood rushes out. It is the worst thing imaginable. It doesn't happen to all. But I've had the worst experience."


"I was put on 200mg/day for low back pain (disc degeneration). At first, I noticed a great improvement in my mood. I think this should be studied more for the treatment of depression. I also had increased energy, and an overall feeling of well-being. My pain level dropped a little, but not a lot. I think this is a good drug for moderate, but not severe pain management."


"It's probably the best birth control I've taken so far! When I first started using bc, my doctor had put me on the standard combination pill (hormone with estrogen) and I had to be taken off it because it was giving me high blood pressure, that and along with a family history of high blood pressure. They suggested I start taking Lyza which is also known as a "mini" pill or "pop" since it only has the hormone present in it. I've been taking it for little over 2yrs. now and I have to say it's been great. I haven't had any major symptoms at all. My periods are practically nonexistent at this point and very irregular, which might be a little scary for some women who are not use to taking the pill."


"Worse thing I have ever purchased in my life. Coughing worsens with this and didn't let me sleep all night. Triggers dry throat and cough attacks."


"Miracle drug when I started it three years ago. I had been on every drug before. Recently needed a bladder lift and hoped those new symptoms would stop. Now I have bad issues with urgency and can't make it to the bathroom. The Myrbetricq is not helping at all. In fact I quit taking it a week ago and I seem better. I am getting ready to try the electrode implants in case this may be a nerve issue. I have been chasing this cure for more that 15 years."


"Since I have been on Pro-Air I haven't been experiencing shortness of breath as much and it has helped my chronic bronchitis as well"


"I have been taking Nexium every morning for a few years now and I never get Heartburn.  I can eat and drink anything that would usually cause Heartburn past."


"Nothing worked for me until my doctor gave me samples of Dexilant. I had tried everything over the years. My world changed, the pain went away, and I have no side effects.

I know it's very expensive and I have to get authorization from my insurance company, but it's well worth it. I wouldn't be able to function on a daily basis without it."


"Started Saxenda on January 8th. I am down 8.5 pounds. I'm a nurse, so I don't mind the shots.  I've been very pleased with the appetite control.  Was really big on sodas (2-3/day) and snacking in between meals. Now I drink a lot of water - constantly thirsty. Have only had 1 soda since I started and the snacking has all but stopped.  Some days I have to remind myself to eat.  I do have some nausea when titrating up on the dose - but its manageable. I have found my biggest problem is constipation which I am taking OTC stool softeners for and seems to help. No fatigue at all. In fact, I'm more active now than I have be in years. Super excited to see the end result. My goal is 60 pounds!"


"It WORKS! But and there is a but, the side effects can be pretty intense. Mostly the abdominal cramps and slight headache. It did not work with my 1st doss but did my 2nd approx 2 hrs after injection. For me it's definitely worth it because for 1st time in months I went #2 all by myself (meaning no enemas no suppository!). Amazing, I do stress that if you do use it make sure you have time to rest and wait. The cramps will stop, you'll have a lot of gas and then you'll go potty like a normal person. "


"Worst mistake of my life. I was on Yaz for 3 months, my acne is worse than ever, I gained a lot of weight, my mental health has never been so bad - anxiety, depression, my self esteem is so low it's terrifying. I would not recommend this medication to anyone - but I understand everyone is different and some have had great experiences with Yaz. Unfortunately I was not one of them."


"This medication doesn't help depression.It also kept me up at night. I couldn't sleep all night. I went to the doctor to get a new anti-depressant."


"I just switched to Apris a few months ago because my insurance would not cover my other generic birth control. Literally within 2 months I put on about 15lbs without changing my diet or exercise routine. I have been trying to get the weight off but it seems impossible. I also have had worse acne and have been tired quite a bit. I also have lost my sex drive. To me, I would rather live my life feeling better about myself and have a better sex life than to be on this. To me, the cons outweigh the pros."


"This medication when given to my autistic child at age 8 made him so violent. Only took one dose."


"Within two days of starting Cymbalta, I had 'flashing lights' in my peripherals (which didn't go away for two years) and nausea. Not that big of a deal. But on day three, I was hit by an insane attack on what I assume was my central nervous system. I felt like my chest was in an ice bath, my internal temp dropped several degrees, my groin felt like it was on fire (burning/cramping), I started shaking and sweating and went into full blown panic. After taking a week off, I tried the drug again. Same thing. Absolutely awful. My doctors/pharms had never heard of these side effects, which were worse than my symptoms (anxiety-related feeling of throat/tongue swelling).

I switched to Effexor (SNRI), which finally worked."


"I was on Latuda for 3 weeks and it was horrible. Where to begin. From day 2 I was unable to sleep at all. I averaged 2 hours of sleep for 3 weeks straight! Fortunately my Bipolar 1 and Schizoaffective Disorder were held in check. I don't know how. My sleep has now come back due to 100mg of Seroquel. Albeit I can not fall asleep without it. The worst lingering side effect has been with my tongue. It is constantly pushed up against the roof of my mouth! It never ends. I also constantly grind and clench my teeth. This has been the worst experience with any medication I have been on. I am also on 900mg of Lithium and 300mg of Lamictal."


"Did the trick for a racing heart due to social anxiety.  Watch for side effects if you take it daily.  My pulse slowed too much so had to switch to propranolol but otherwise helped me a lot."


"All day dizziness and general blah feeling.  Sleep majorly disrupted and when I get it it doesn't do anything to help with the tiredness I already have.  Nails grew weak and thin.  Also had some numbness in places which went away when I stopped the pill."


"I got nexaplanon 2 months ago and have been bleeding since then. The first few weeks were great, I got this so Id stop having such heavy, cramping and painful periods. In the beginning the bleeding was minimal, and I had no cramping or pain! And my acne cleared up. But boom! a month later the continuous bleeding got heavier and I have cramps and have to take midol 24/7. Also my acne came back worse than I've ever had it... Just in time for prom:/ my boobs grew 2 sizes but I haven't gained noticeable weight anywhere else. I don't know If I should get it removed pronto, or wait 4 months for my body to adapt, but if I read these reviews before I would've never gotten it. Play it safe... Get something else."


"I have been suffering with bulimia for five years. I am 22 years old and a college student and I will take the memory loss, there is always spell check. I cannot describe the pain I go through, the guilt, the shame, and I never ever really thought it would get to this point, five years. I know someone's mom who is dying that has has several organ transplants and has been bulimic for over 30 years. I don't want that to be me. I can't stop. I never wanted it to get this far. With Topamax I am gaining weight. It works, it's like instant gratification."


"I have had frequently reoccurring urinary tract infections for almost 15 years and tried pretty much every trick out there to prevent them, to no avail. When discussing this with an Ob/Gyn she decided to prescribe Macrobid to be taken on days of intercourse in order to prevent me from getting another infection. I went from getting an infection every couple of months to not having one for a year and a half, until I ran out of the medication. The only side effect was a change in urine color which did not have an effect on my quality of life beyond wearing panty liners as a precautionary measure on days I had taken it to ensure my underwear did not get stained. Taking this to prevent infections was a life changer for me."


"I just got my prescription yesterday. I took the pill tried smoking and already noticed my disgust in cigarettes. I really hope this will last. I'm 22 and have been smoking since I was 19. Wish me luck! I'm so excited to start my journey as a nonsmoker!!"


"I'm 31 and have been taken Lexapro before I wanted to go with something cheaper. My doctor prescribed a generic citalopram. I have been on that for about 7 months now. I can tell you I notice a difference in the 2 medications. Lexapro allows me to feel more motivated to get things done and generally helps me focus with less stress, while citalopram has had not much effect other than weight gain and still at times I get really irritable. Being a single father of 2 I'm going to ask my doctor to place me back on Lexapro so I will feel more proactive and not like a bump on a log that doesn't care."


"Helps my mood also, makes me feel normal. "


"Taking Bactrim for spider bite on breast - working."


"This medication was found to be the reason why I had a stroke! They cleared me for all other reasons and all the doctors confirmed it was this medication. Please proceed with caution."


"This medicine just changed my life. I had excessive sweating all over my body specially my face, underarms, and hands. It was interfering with my social life and affecting my job/ career. I developed an anxiety from my sweating and I lost hope because I tried everything until I was prescribed this medicine. Its a miracle. I got my life back. Thanks God"


"I got Mirena inserted December 15, 2014 and I LOVE IT! I am 21 years old with no children. The insertion was very very painful. I bled and cramped the day of the insertion and day afterwards. So far, its been one week and I feel fantastic! "


"About 10 weeks into treatment, I developed conjunctivitis which took 2 treatments to clear up and some type mouth infection which I am still trying to get rid of 4 months later. My dry eye syndrome got tons worse and 3 months post treatment I am fatigued and feel worse than before I ever did Harvoni. I believe there are more side effects than listed and some are horrid to get rid of."


"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for one month now and it made my period come early. I just took the last blue pill and I have been bleeding for 14 days nonstop. Now I'm on the placebo pills so hopefully the bleeding will stop in a few days. At first it was just spots of blood and then I had heavy bleeding. It has made me very emotional and sensitive and the loss of blood has made me so tired with no energy. Been having really bad nightmares and cramps. I'm going to try a different pill next month because this one is definitely not working for me. "


"I have found this medicine to be extremely helpful, although I do have some side effects from it. I have been on Xyrem for about 4 months now. I wake up feeling better than I have in years, but I have a trembling feeling (like being very cold) on the inside of my body that lasts for about 1 hour, and my hands shake very badly for about 3 hours. Both of these side effects occur upon getting up in the morning. I will say I can tolerate the shaking, because this medicine is truly amazing."


"I went on taytulla because my old birth control (ortho tri cycles)  had 7 inactive pills and it SUCKED but this only has 4 and it has helped my periods a ton!!! it's really effective at preventing pregnancy (accidentally tested that out) and my emotional/acne problems have actually decreased since I started using a combo of this and synthroid. I highly recommend u try it out, and u just gotta remember that the first few week's side effects are gonna be weird no matter what birth control ur on"


"I had Implanon inserted in August, so I've had it for almost four months now. I really like it, except I only gave it five stars because I've been bleeding every day for about two months now. It's starting to get a little frustrating, otherwise I would have given this medicine 10 stars. I've had no mood swings or changes, no acne, no weight gain, none of the dreaded side effects from most birth control pills. If only I would quit bleeding! There is a little scar at the insertion site, but nothing too noticeable. Implanon is extremely convenient. I would say go for it if you're young, healthy, and can't seem to find a pill or other method that works for you."


"Been taking it for 2-3 weeks and Xiidra is working wonderfully. Unlike what some people say, there is plenty of fluid inside one vial for 2 drops in each eye. The bitter taste is not really bad, and the blurriness just lasts for a couple of minutes or so. I have not had red, itchy eyes for most of the day, when I just take OTC eye drops once or twice. I am very happy about the $10 per month payment because I would not be able to afford it otherwise."


"I have been on testosterone cypionate for over a year. Great results. Very good muscle mass, great sex drive and erections
more energy, and BETTER NIGHT VISION. I have astigmatism."


"I'm adult using this Amazing Cream, skin folds, under breasts, between legs etc. wherever moisture is not exposed to air. OVER night notice of improvement with VUSION. Used OTHER "antifungals" and made my condition MUCH worse. VUSION is the BEST product on the market. "


"I truly believe this drug is a miracle drug. I had been on high doses of oxycodone, methadone, oxycontin 80 mg, and opana 30 ER for about 14 years and when I tried to stop on my own the w/d's were so bad that it was impossible for me. I was put on subutex for 2 months (my choice for discontinuing) 8 mg a day. I weaned myself off within two months and I did experience very slight w/d's, but nothing I couldn't deal with for about 2 weeks. Mainly I believe that I just didn't know how to live drug free so my emotions were like a roller coaster for a couple weeks. Pushing through though is the key because your mind will tell you this will never end, but it does and pretty quick if you stay committed and stay away from bad choices."


"Only second day into it. Too soon to say but could not prevent lozenge from dissolving in only about five minutes. Was alarmed at brilliant yellow color of stools but then figured it out. It is not necessarily a problem but I wish my nurse had warned me."


"I've been on the shot for about 2 and a half years. The first few times I got the shot I had some inconsistent spotting. I could never tell when it would occur. After a while my body adjusted and I haven't bled since. Before I got in the shot I weighed about 98 pounds and now I'm at 110. THE SHOT DOES NOT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT. The shot increases your appetite and it's what you eat and how much you eat that makes you gain weight. However no one informed me about the fact that it weakens your bones until about 1 month ago."

"The amount of pain you experience when taking Dulcolax makes whether or not it works a completely moot point.  I took this as directed and was up in the middle of the night writhing in some of the very worst pain I have ever felt.  The type of pain where you think to yourself, "I am going to need to go to the hospital".  They are small pills, easy to swallow, but don't let the size fool you.  Serious waste of money.  Because of the pain it caused, after only one dose the remainder of the box went in the bin.

If you don't like pain but need to relieve your bowels, I STRONGLY recommend you find a different product."


"Received first Depo shot in September 2015 began constant bleeding right after. The bleeding varies from light most of the time & sometimes heavy almost like a regular period. It is now April 28, 2016 & I am STILL bleeding. I never recieved second shot. I'm in touch with my doctors who are deciding what to do.

 I've read I may have to have a DNC which I do not like. I already have pre-cancer cells on my cervix & have to have regular biopsies to monitor it but since the bleeding I have not been able to do any of that. I DO NOT recommend this shot to anyone. The risk & complications for is greater than benefits in my opinion. Try another birth control.

*Depo should be taken off the market*"


"It is horrible!!! Pain is unbearable, it feels like you're being tortured by bees and ants. I don't think  any  part of the body should go though any kind of pain like this. Never recommend to any one!"


"This worked really well to regulate my periods for about a year and a half but recently it has seemed to stop working. My periods are back to being as irregular as they were before I took the pill. It also made the nausea I get during my periods much worse. I am currently only taking it for clearing my acne (be warned my acne came back only a week after being off of it and was much worse than before) and till my prescription ends."


"Brilliant, like an anti depressant but I don't get nervous anymore"


"I'm currently at the end of my second week of Chantix.  I've given up smoking completely at the beginning of the second week and I feel great.  However, there are times that I still have the craving but I've substituted mints for cigarettes and it's been helping out a lot. Also to give you a brief background on myself.  I've been smoking for 14 years, and while deployed to Iraq I began smoking almost 2 packs a day and continued to do the same when I arrived back to the States. Now as for side effects, I have experienced nausea, but very brief and usually only lasting for less than 5 minutes and then I'm fine.  The dreams for me are somewhat vivid, but they are otherwise normal. I have not experienced any depression while taking Chantix."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This will be my first colonoscopy.  I used many hints from the reviews here.  I chilled the solution and mixed it with part water and part 7Up.  It tasted like salty cherry soda.  I divided it into three cups and used a large straw.  I sucked on a lemon slice between each drink.  I then drank all the extra water in a short time.  It does work very fast.  I started at 5:00pm and was done by 10:00pm.  I had no headache, chills, cramping or nausea.  The second round was no trouble either.  I am very glad I read reviews on here first."


"I took my first dose of Bonita 150mgs and woke up the next day with severe headache and abdominal spasms. I feel exhausted, almost flu like. I'm checking with my Dr. Now since today is the 2nd day of the same symptoms."


"I have just started my 2nd month of 7 days of injections.  I have had no adverse reactions, except the injection sights get very red and later peel.  My white blood cells went down and then started back up.  My platelets and hemoglobin are quite low but so far no blood transfusions.  I am told each time they will make white blood cells go lower."


"I had it put in after the birth of my second child.  The insertion was extremely painful.  Since having it put in I have experienced multiple infections which can only be attributed to the device.  I also have had a change in mood and behavior, which was never an issue prior to Mirena.  I chose to have it removed.  I am happily married and would much rather get pregnant than deal with all of the side effects from Mirena. This is by far the WORST form of birth control.  It's only good for five years if you can stand it for that long."


"Have tried many others: zoloft, citalopram, nortriptyline. Other than side effects this medicine works great. Just have to be careful with the sedative properties."


"Six weeks since first injections in both knees. Have arthritis and tore the meniscus in both knees last Fall. Right knee is 90% bone on bone. First shots did not hurt. Second shots wow! How I got through it baffles me. Third shot, no pain just uncomfortable. I'm 47. Noticed a difference after first week; now we are 5 weeks out, right knee is stiff again and am having pain and problems walking. Left knee is hurting but nothing like before the shots. Am hoping insurance will authorize TKR for the right one. Am basically unable to do anything pain free."


"I had tried to implanon before they changed it to Nexplanon, but that was a terriable experience because like the reviews said blead ALOT and always had pregnancy symptoms before bleeding 3 weeks out of the month..  I went to the doc and got an estrogen pill and that helped!! Then when the 3 years were up I got the new one nexplanon and I haven't really had that many issues I accurately love it!!!! I recommend it!"


"my husband has renal cancer . he did partial nephroctomy in his right kidney on 9/2010. many tumors appeared later in small sizes in both kidneys. now he is on votrient 800 mg 35 days ago.. he has high blood pressure treated .. rare weakness and bad taste.. little bit problems in stomach.. pain in leg.. his hair started to b white.. we r looking for positive result . hope this treatment can shrink or remove the total tumors"


"I was addicted to heroin and doctor-shopped for prescription opioids. Been in a clinic for over a year and haven't used a thing. It saved my life."


"Awful!!! Caused my anxiety to go into massive overdrive to the point my entire body was shivering. I did fall asleep at night because I was exhausted from being on edge all day. I put on 15 lbs since I started taking it 3 months ago. They are like speed pills which causes the excessive anxiety. So glad I'm off of them now. Definitely not for me! (Bipolar-PTSD-OCD-Anxiety) this medicine was added to my daily Lamictal 150mg"


"I was prescribed venlafaxine ~3 months ago for depression co-morbid with anxiety (mostly social in nature). During the first week side-effects included feeling "strange"/"spaced out" and jaw clenching. I still have mild anxiety "jitteryness", some foul smelling flatulance(!) and limb twitching/achiness. I don't really know if it has worked for depression so give it a modest rating. I do feel slightly better but I don't know if I can credit the drugs because I made some significant lifestyle changes. As for anxiety, I do feel less hesitant in conversations and less obsessive over saying something "awkward". I think this is because of the drugs, but unfortunately these social improvements haven't really translated into improved confidence"


"So far so good! Was on depo but it made my anxiety worse and I gained a lot of weight.. Been on lolo for a month now and no bad side effects except a little irregular spotting! Love it"


"My experience with this has been absolutely rubbish. It's 99.9% effective because I have been on my period for about 90% of the time. I had the implant inserted in 2014, I've had it in for 2 years and I my periods and mood swings have been dreadful, I was told by the doctors it would take about 7 months to actually settle and not to have intercourse with my partner until it had! After 7 months (I know we waited) my periods were much more irregular and I was depressed and down for no reason. The only good thing about this is I haven't became pregnant. BUT I am going to have it out next week because I was admitted into hospital for blood loss because of my period !! I do not recommend this to any woman (or teen) whom is considering the implanon."


"GOODBYE SEX DRIVE! -.- Besides my sex drive dropping from over 9000 to 0, this did nothing to help my depression. I was upped to the 60mg. I can't wait for my next doctors appt. I want OFF of this "anti-depressant" that doesn't do anything but make me more annoyed than usual, killed my drive, and I still have crying spells. There has got to be something out there that can get along with my body. If you love/enjoy your sex life, DO NOT take this drug."


"unbelievably bad ,seems to exaggerate  all of my adhd problems 4 fold . i started on 40 mg even though im 91kg in weight and ive read up and they say it should be a mg per kg . so im guessing my doc was cautious , not a bad thing.So i went to 60 mg things didnt change i was wanking 4 times a day and sleeping only 3-5 hours a night and hardly eating a thing .i cant be arsed typing any more"


"I am actually just starting Zoloft for very consistent anxiety and probably depression that I am unaware of but I'm sure its there.  I have tried propranol which will masque my anxiety but always seems to come back.  Now I am waking up in the middle of the night with ringing ears and high heart rate.  The Dr. has run about every test in the world and can't find anything wrong with me.  I just want to feel normal and live a healthy life.  I have heard the first two weeks can be rough with increased anxiety but I need to give it a shot.

Hope to have good feedback soon."


"I've been on Trinessa for almost a month now. I'm 18 and ever since I was 15, my periods have been outta wack! I skip 3 months at a time with no period. My doctor put me on Trinessa and so far I haven't had anything wrong! The only thing is I hate the placebo pills. My period has been Terrible! I have TERRIBLE back and stomach cramps, but my bleeding isn't so bad. I highly recommend it to anyone!"


"Warning - Itchy/painful

I used Estradiol Patch (Sandoz) .025 mg for 2 months changing 2x a week.  I also took Progesterone 100 mg daily.  I'm 52, perimenopausal  & suffer from hot flashes every hr during the night. Within a week the hot flashes disappeared BUT got my period every 9 days lasting 5 days so I only had a break of 3-4 days in between. 2 weeks ago I dropped Progesterone to 14 days a month and periods stopped. Shortly after I started to get very itchy & sore within a day of replacing the patch and the hot flashes came back with a vengeance. I now realize I developed an allergy to the patches and still have 8 rectangle discolored itchy patches that won't go away. I switched to Evamist 2 days ago and hope to get relief soon."


"After 1-day noticed my lips burning, thought it was just chapped lips bought a tube of lip balm. On day 2 noticed tiny blisters forming on my bottom lip, and by the end of the day my bottom lip was beginning to swell. I quit using the lip balm but my lips continue to swell and burn. I developed a terribly deep but empty cough which I did not have before starting this prescription. This cough occurs while at rest, not while talking, eating, or exercising. Also soaking night sweats mainly from my head.  I did not read the side effects on the prescription."


"I started Belviq in October 2013. I've now lost 31 pounds, which brings me to my goal weight, which I haven't seen for decades. I now take 5 mg of Belviq every day at around 3-4 PM. This is my maintenance dose. I had a follow-up with my MD last week and was concerned that she wouldn't renew the script because I no longer qualify according to the recommended guidelines. To my surprise, she agreed a maintenance dose was a good idea to keep the cravings away. The fact that I had a lot of beneficial side effects also convinced her. (Really good, restful sleep, and the end to hot flashes). So I'm happy. The 30 day script will last me 4 months! Love this stuff. I'll take it forever. It "fixes" me as far as I'm concerned!"


"I have been on Beyaz birth control for about 5 years now, and I have never really had any serious problems with it! As a birth control, it seems to be working great no babies here! I've never really had any acne, however I used to get random pimples on my thighs which was so strange to me but when I started Beyaz they quickly disappeared. My breasts have grown a substantial amount, but I do not have bad bloating or weight gain in other areas which is awesome. The only downside I have noticed to this medication, is that my mood swings were terrible the first couple weeks. This is normal when you give your body any extra hormones so I was not too worried about it. The mood swings stopped about 4 weeks in."


"After 20+ years of taking this medicine it has lead up to hair thinning out severely, full body muscle pain and weakness as a side effect and a possible stroke. It works to get rid of the migraine but this what happens when you take it long term."


"I have had Nexplanon for 1 year now and love it because its worry free and feel like myself.
Insertion- Numb my arm and painless insertion.
Period- 3 periods in 12 months, very light but spotting can last 2 weeks. Bloating, fatigue and breast tenderness during period. No mood swings, no weight gain and no acne.
Previously on ortho triclen lo- would have extreme frustration, weight gain and low libido."


"Just had it "uploaded" about 3 days ago and so far, I have no complaints. While the procedure wasn't super fun, it wasn't the worst pain I've ever experienced. I took 800mg of Advil about an hour before going to the appt. My CNP who did the procedure was great and really knew what she was doing. She talked me through the whole procedure and let me know when it was time to focus on my breathing because the super uncomfortable part was about to happen.The whole thing only took about 15 minutes.
The only thing I've really experienced so far is slight lower back stiffness but it's nothing 400mg of Advil can't handle. I'm interested to see how it effects my period which I am due for in about a week.

So far so good!

I am mid 30's, no children"


"I have taken this medication since I was 5 years old.  I t has helped me overcome my clumsiness and it has literally saved my life."


"I had appendicitis and the pain after I had surgery was horrible. I'm the sort of person who hates taking medicine, but I gave in and took some. It worked very well. I'm not sure if it was because I couldn't sleep because of the pain or that the Vicodin made me drowsy, but I fell asleep around 30 minutes after I took it every time. A few months later when I had my wisdom teeth out, I also took Vicodin and it let me get sleep then too. No other side effects."


"This is my very first yeast infection and I'm using the MONISTAT 7 DAY COMBO PACK insert cream. Yes it burns but its my first night using it so I'm laying here for a hour.  The burning for me has subsided in about 30 mins after application but I don't like this @ALL  "


"I am 6' tall and began taking this medication on July 29th.  At the time that I started taking this medication, I was 270 pounds.  Today, I am 253.  I feel excellent and have had the energy and motivation to get outside and exercise.  The only adverse effects that I have noticed is a dry mouth (constantly) which can be relieved by sugar free lemon candy. Also, I have noticed blurry vision.  I have went to 2 eye doctors to figure out the problem and both have stated that it is dry eyes. The doctor recommended a lubricating eye drop.  I have been using them for about a week and have noticed improvement.  I have tried Belviq and Qsymia and had 0 results.  Contrave is the best that I have found!  And, the scaledown program... Amazing!"


"Prozac was the worst for me. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone. I was using it for depression and anxiety and when i first started taking it i felt terrible, stayed on it for another 4 months or so till my psychiatrist (who did absolutely nothing for me, spent a total of 15 minutes with me in 3 appts.) uped my dose to 20mg, i started feeling really tired all the time, got headaches, felt sick, my head was ALWAYS foggy, couldnt remember much, drained me right out. So without my doctors word i stopped taking it and i still feel depressed and anxious but i feel much more alive and much better. Prozac didnt work for me at all."


"The only thing is about 10 to 20 minutes after swallowing the capsule it seems my stomach is burning!  This only lasts a couple minutes, but I really wish it wouldn't happen.  Other than that one thing I'm feeling OK now at almost 89."


"I have found that the initial "once at bedtime" dosage/300 mg of Neurontin helpful for the burning muscle pain that keeps me awake; however now that I am supposed to graduate to 300 mg/3 times per day, I am experiencing extreme nausea & some vomiting.

I am going to ask my rheumatologist, but is this normal?"


"I am on my 9th week of Harvoni. I have have no side effects at all. My doc said although early trials reported that most cleared the virus in 8 weeks, in the real world 12 weeks has better results. He said he does not test the viral load until completed for 2 months because either it's gone or it isn't."


"I've been on Implanon for two months now and simply love it. The insertion was easy; just a slight pinch. I haven't had any complications or extreme irregular bleeding. I did spot for a few days about a month into use and even then, it was very light. Other than that, I haven't had any of the listed symptoms. It's really reassuring to have such a reliable birth control. I never have to remember to take a pill, and I can always check to make sure it's in place.(3 Years)."


"I've been taking tri-sprintec for about 5 years. It stared when I was 15, and the first few months my face had acne absolutely everywhere; the acne lasted about 3 months.
 Some of the side effects did occur to me such as anxiety, mood swings.. but the most important fact is that I have not gotten pregnant, and the pill is easily affordable.. so that's why I keep using it."


"I have been taken citalopram  since I'm 19 years old, after an acute life event.
I started with 20mg a day po which helped me for over 1 year.
After 1 year I felt that my depression is coming back so I talked to my physician and we increased the daily dose to 40mg po.
I am now taking this medication for over 6 years and for me its the one and only medication that helps.
Yes I have had some side effects like loosing weight (15 pounds) trouble sleeping (5-6 h) a day max. and insomnia.
But still I can finally start living my normal life which I could not do without this medication.
I work as a Rn in a ED and see a lot of patients with depression, ptsd (like me) or other problems who don't take any medications, which I would not recommend..."


"I've never taken it, but I have seen Suboxone help get my son back from the HELL he was in. A smart boy was being driven by Roxicodone, had to have it to work, to go anywhere or function. It's awful when you can't help your child and know he wants it. Thank God for his friend who also was on this treatment. The 1st day we both could tell a difference. You do experience a few discomforts but NOTHING in comparison to detoxing without Suboxone. I'm so proud he is on his way...and my baby can be happy again. He was so depressed because he said without the Suboxone it would have killed him. He couldn't have done it period. It DOES work. You just have to be ready to quit."


"I was scared to death to have my Skyla inserted, but after getting it done yesterday, it really was no big deal at all. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour before my appointment and that helped me relax quite a bit. My boyfriend came with me to the appointment and held my hand through the whole thing and that helped a lot too. There was some cramping during the insertion but other than that, it wasn't much worse than having a pap smear done."


"Blecchh!  Effective but tasted like pure cough syrup.  I drank half of the mixture through a straw, followed by a ginger ale chaser, then did the second half the same way.  I didn't throw up though and it did it's job but the company needs to come up with something better.
Also expensive and not covered by my insurance."


"I love Phentermine.  I started taking it in January of 2006 (losing weight was my New Year's Resolution).  I took it off and on that whole year, and began working out.  I lost 70 pounds, and now, two years later, I've kept it off without using it.  Love it."


"I have been on Celebrex off and on, over the last 10 years or more. I take it mainly for lower back pain. I understand it increases your chance of heart attack and stroke, so I take it only when I need it. It is hard on your stomach, so take it after a meal. But it really helps ease my lower back pain. I don't understand why the price for my prescription was $300.   this month. It's never been that high! That's why I'm here, looking to see if there is an explanation. The chemist told me to call my insurance company, as he didn't know. Its a good medicine but its so expensive now I'll probably have to phase it out."


"I took Nortrel 1/35 for five years and generally liked it - I will consider getting on it again when the need arises. My skin was clear, I didn't get pregnant, I didn't have mood swings, and my period was light. I would take 6 weeks worth of pills, and then have a period, as recommended by my doctor. My main issue with it was that by day four of my period I would get a withdrawal headache that would last until I took the first pill of my next pack. This bothered me enough to stop taking it when I'm not in need of a birth control method. I did lose a few pounds almost overnight when I stopped taking it also."


"Was prescribed Fioricet for my headaches that don't go away with regular means or my Toradol.  I've had either woken  up with or developed a headache for 2 weeks in a row now.  The Fioricet seemed to make the headache abate so I didn't notice it as much the first day I took it but the headache was back the next day. So, it didn't work for me but it does make me not care so much and feel sleepy.  As you can see by the other posts here, whether it works or not is a personal thing."


"This was my third colonoscopy, and first time using Suprep. For my first two, I did the Miralax + Laxative prep. I was instructed to take the first dose at 4pm the day before my procedure, then wake up at 4am and take the 2nd dose (9:15am procedure time). I ended up staying up late and taking the 2nd dose at 1:30am. It tastes horrible, like salty, diluted cherry cough syrup. The saltiness was the worst. I made sure the Suprep was cold, and drank in through a straw. With Suprep there is less volume to drink, I also noticed that I had NO cramping. I did have a bad headache the night before my procedure. I couldn't finish the 2nd dose completely, but everything was coming out clear. I would recommend Suprep over other preps."


"Have been taking Ocella for 4 months, and at first the only things I noticed were positive; it cleared up the mild adult acne that I had developed around my jawline, and my breasts seemed to get bigger. Then, I began to notice more negative than positive. First, I've gained 6 pounds in 4 months with little change to my diet. Second, I experience spotting between periods. Third, I am ten times more moody than I was before which is strange for me because I am always pretty stable and happy. Last, I've been feeling very bloated and maybe a little constipated.

So overall, the pill is doing the job and I'm afraid to get off of it because I don't want to start breaking out, but I also don't want to stay on it and continue to gain weight."


"I've written a review on here a couple times, first when I had first started on Accutane and second when I was on my fourth month. I just finished my last pill last night & I'm hopeful that my face will stay clear. I still have dry lips & dry skin, that will eventually go back to normal but otherwise my skin is completely clear & I'm not scared to wear less makeup, before I would literally look like a cake face. All I have is a lot of left over marks and discoloration but my dermatologist and I have already talked about chemical peels within the next month or two. I know Accutane sounds scary for everyone who hasn't tried it & read some reviews but it's not. Acne was messing with me mentally & I was willing to try anything! Go for it."


"I sometimes suffer from anxiety that makes me physically ill. I have been nauseous and puking for 7 days and I finally went to see a doc. They gave me the dissolving tablets. Eww! Gross. The taste stays in my mouth for hours and it doesn't help. It just gets worse."


"No problems at all, the experience was quite satisfying, had to take some breaks!"


"After taking Cymbalta for 3 weeks I had gradually started after week 1 to become very dizzy, rapid heart beats, anxiety, after week 2 the anxiety and panic attacks became severe, and the last day of taking it I felt like I was having a heart attack for 8 hours.
It was after Cymblata had been out on the market for roughly one year a warning to Thyroid patients had been published , Hypothyroid Hoshimotos thyroiditis patient since 1989, since that time I am allergic to about 20 other medications used for fibromyalgia, myopathy, polyneuropathy, neuropathy, and so on.
Another aspect with Cymbalta is that if your doctor is not up to education outside the representative selling this product then one could consider the patient mentally unstable."


"Took my husband to doctor while suffering a severe migraine with vomiting which he has suffered from his whole life(1-2 a month to the point of vomiting). After not being able to keep down pills this was his only hope of relief. Had first injection at doctor's office and within 15 minutes he had relief and was even able to go in to work the same day. I am so happy there is something that cures his pain. He said the shot hurt but it was worth it. The cost is high but also worth it when he is in that much pain. We paid $200 with discount card for 6 injections. You can find the discount card on their website. HIGHLY RECOMMEND when nothing else has helped."


"Only been on for 3 days, still coughing a bit but feel much better overall. Pharmacist told me to eat yogurt or take probiotics so maybe that's why Im not experiencing any side effects at all."


"When I first started using naproxen for migraines it really worked quickly and fast but now I take it and it does not work at all.."


"It was ok. Made me feel very bloated all the time and just felt heavy. I was put on it to help my acne and it really made it a lot worse. I gained weight and also developed anxiety. I've been on it for about 7 months and I have only had spotting here and there, not my actual period."


"Firstly it took me a while to fall asleep even though I was drowsy when I turned off my light.  And I woke up almost every hour.  I already have sleep problems but this pill made them much worse."


"This is my third colonoscopy.  Sure,  Suprep doesn't taste good,  but it's no where near as bad as the Phosphosoda stuff I had years ago with the first procedure.  That stuff was like drinking concentrated sea water. The Suprep was a walk in the park by comparison.

The two day prep worked well for me and I think the bland,  low bulk,  low fiber diet two days before the procedure reduces the cramps and abdominal discomfort.  Thirty minutes after the first dose it started working.   I had a little nausea,  a few chills, but nothing major.  I have yet to take the second dose but don't anticipate any problems."


"I started out on 10mg of Celexa, nothing happened. When I got to 20mg, I started feeling sick (I felt like I was going to vomit all the time) and irritated. Once I got to 40mg, I began to feel impulsive and wired. I could barely sleep and I was doing risky things; even my friends said I wasn't myself! I got put on Neurontin after this, I'm glad I switched."


"I started Zoloft after being on citalopram. Citalopram worked the best for me but due to my age, my GP wouldn't raise the dose after 25mg stopped helping. I've been on Zoloft since around February or so and it's increased my anxiety dramatically. To the point that I can't sleep and I'm writing this at 4:49am. I also noticed I started to struggle with death anxiety A LOT which I hadn't had problems with in the past. I am still taking Zoloft but will hopefully be changing medication in the next few weeks."


"I was having difficulty getting diagnosed because I was not having grand mal seizures.
I was, however, having about 80 simple partial seizures a month for 10 years straight. We thought maybe anxiety. Nothing was picked up on scans cause it was impossible for me to know exactly when it would happen, so it was never happening while scans were performed. Finally, 10 years later, they turned into grand mals. I started on Keppra 2 years ago and have not had a single seizure since. 3500mg daily. To go from 80 a month to NONE at all... This stuff had given me my life back. And no side effects for me!"

"I've NEVER had acne in my life and have always had flawless skin. I've been on this birth control for 6 months and all of a sudden I started breaking out with pimples and itchy bumps on my face and neck.  I also have not had a period in 4 months.  After reading these reviews it is evident it is all a result of this pill.  "


"Tri-Sprintec has totally changed my mood. I am always moody, angry and upset.  I am always crying if I am happy or upset.  It really has made my relationship with my parents and boyfriend not so good because of my mood swings! I have been on this birth control for 6 months. My periods are 2 weeks long. It's the worst. I want to be happy again and to my normal self!"


"Tramadol  does help, but they changed me to Lyrica which helps me much better."


"No problem whatsoever and Bone Density Test has shown some improvement..so will continue."


"I've been using Desmopressin Acetate injection for about 30 years and it has been a life saver. The tablet form does not work as well as the injection but it easier to carry with me when traveling. The injection type must be kept the in refrigerator but it is much more effective. I prefer to use the injection."


"I'm in my 70's and found that my erections would come and go during sex. I had previously tried Viagra and had a migraine the next day. My experience has varied... sometimes great and sometimes not as good.   There is a correlation between the nasal stuffiness and the erection quality. No gain without the Pain!
I'm going to try taking it a bit sooner and see if that makes it more reliable."


"This pill did clear my acne, but it took about six months. It gives me this weird feeling like I am about to burst out in tears, but I do not because there is nothing to be upset about when I think about it. I was in a negative mental rut today, and I think it was due to this pill. No weight gain, and I hope the mood swings are not as bad as I am naturally already a  moody person. Very effective in preventing pregnancy. I stopped it a year ago for a more natural method of B.C., but resumed taking it because my acne came back."


"I had the same issue as KimmerD30.  I love Afrin but after about a month from the purchase date, it takes on a mildewy smell even though the expiration date is at least a year away.  It makes me nervous about continuing to use it once this happens.  I keep the bottle on my nightstand so temperature is not an issue. Does anybody know what causes this and is it still safe to use once this happens?"


"I have had acne ever since I was 10 and suffered really badly. My back was covered in spots to the point where it hurt to lean against anything. I had spots all over my face and on my chest. I am on my fourth month of roaccutane and my face is clear other than two small spots, my back is clear and so is my chest. I have had a few side effects such as dry skin, dry lips and my body ached. Those side effects I can deal with, however my mood swings are bad, I will be really happy for a couple of days and then I will have a few days where I am down and crying a lot. The medication has helped me find a new confidence in my self, I don't feel embarrassed to go out anymore and I can even not wear makeup when I go out. It is definitely worth it!!"


"Addressing the misinformed subscriber who proclaimed, " Vyvanse is SPEED! ", and that it's use led to his rapid addiction to speed. This is clinically not possible. Though there is an underlying component of amphetamine to this med, it is moreover a CNS (  Central Nervous System Stimulant ), as is stratera ( which contains a large percentage of norepinephrine in it and may help those battling depression as well as ADD) .
Guess what else is classified as a CNS. - your morning coffee.  We all recognize Folgers and Nescaffe as unregulated gateway drugs, so shouldn't we get excited about them as some of these '  users and their abuses of caffeine ' aside the evils of Vyvanse? Personal responsibility and accountability are key."


"I used Trixaicin HP for Thoracic Spine Damage to the nerve root at the C5, C6 level (C6 root) causing numbness in my index finger and thumb. I used gloves and put the Trixaicin directly on the pain. That caused the Trixaicin to heat up so much it burned. Not unbearably but it did cause me to wonder if it heated up worse on the pain because that was the most painful spot."


"This is the only migraine treatment that has ever had any effect for me.  I've tried everything the is for migraines. The doctors even gave me anti-depressants to see if that would help and blood pressure pills even though I already have low blood pressure. They even tried giving me a strong dosage of muscle relaxers. Nothing at all helped my migraines until Treximet.  This is the best medication out there for migraines."


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


"It seemed to work for a couple of days. Afterwards I had the side effect of over-sleeping. I slept an extra 3 hours on the 3rd morning of this drug's use. Also, no output. I had to use enema to get some output. No s**t!! I wasted hundreds of dollars cash on this drug."


"I have been struggling to get the right birth control drug for 9 years.I tried anything with lot of Estrogen to less everything with less Estrogen and more Testosterone. I started to get headaches. I did not think much of it at first, but the headaches got worse with each year going by and the increased severely towards having headaches each day - whole day. My headaches effected my job, my concentration, my relationship, any outdoor activities, sport & exercise. It got so bad, I used to wake up with them, go to be with them and drink pain killers just to get through the day. My doctor recommended the Mirena. I went ahead with the Mirena procedure. It changed my life. It has been 2 months since I had a headache.I am truly grateful!"


"Please be careful on these meds. My husband used Neltrexone to get off pain meds after an accident. He had an extremely hard time getting off it because it sticks to the receptors in your brain. He was severely depressed and took over a year for all of the withdrawal symptoms to go away. It affected the quality of our lives."
