"I had my Nexplanon inserted a little bit under 4 months ago and have had a few ups and downs with my experience. When I first got it, I had a normal period and then didn't get another period for 7 weeks. When I did get my period, I bled for 14 days (which seems to be pretty short compared to a lot of the reviews). Again, I waited another 6 weeks until I got another period and then had bleeding for a little less than 2 weeks. I haven't experienced any weight gain on Nexplanon although I exercise pretty regularly. Before getting Nexplanon, I never broke out and rarely had greasy skin/hair, but after getting it inserted, I get occasional pimples and my skin and hair get extremely greasy throughout the day."


"Sick sick sick they are the best for my uti but I just can't tolerate it even with anti sickness drug so going back to hospital for a diff iv drug."


"I tried Contrave and could not stand the nausea and vomiting. Sick to my stomach. I didn't appreciate the side effects really. "


"Meh....still anxious and climbing the walls."


"I was prescribed seroquel xr for Bipolar depression My dr started me on 50mg and I am gradually increasing the dosage its been about 4 weeks and I am currently taking 200 mg I will agree that it has helped the hopelesness feelings  and suicidal thoughts  Which is a plus but the zombie like feeling and dry mouth are tough  I have a job that requires constant activity its hard to keep up have to definitely slow down  My Dr advised me that these side affects are all normal and eventually I will get used to it can't wait for this to happen"


"Had Liletta inserted mid November 2016.
The doctor did her best to make me comfortable and walk me thru the process. First, came the cold clamps that open your cervix. Then, the doctor inserted something to measure my cervix to make sure the device would fit properly. This was a pinching pain coming from deep inside me. After this came insertion. The insertion felt like a combination of pinching, pushing, and pulling all at once. I cramped, badly, after.
I had some spotting for 4 days following. I've had a regular period monthly since then. I have been spotting again recently, which has lasted over a week. No pregnancy though, and my acne has stayed about the same as with the pill. Hoping my period stops soon as well. So far I am happy."


"I was given 100 micrograms every hour plus 50 micrograms every 30 minutes as a push button in a drip for cancer pain and it worked great. After the Morphine dose was above 20mg every 4 hours I was given the drip. It worked great for pain and had very little side effects, only constipation but that was because I was on it for 30 days.
I would strongly suggest for any type of severe pain and/or cancer pain if morphine or Dilaudid isn't working or isn't tolerable."


"I've used this product before with no major issues, some light burning/itching that normally isn't even as bad as the original symptoms. I'm using a store-brand with same ingredients and OH MY , this is probably one of the WORST feelings I have ever experienced. The burning is very mild, but the itching makes me want to hurt someone!! Last night was the first night and it woke me up about 3 hours after insertion with intense itching. I was able to fall back asleep and I had no problems from then on.

Tonight is night two and the itching started within 5 minutes of putting the cream in my vagina. I know if I can just make it through this dose and the next one the problem will go away, but I'm not sure I can do it."


"I consider Glucophage a successful treatment because it has been prescribed to me for ten years and I've had no adverse effects at all.  Aside from favorable blood-sugar results, I don't even feel the drug is in my system."


"I am in my 6th month of Microgestin Fe 1/20 and I have mixed feelings about it. My doctor switched me from Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo because of my horrible mood swings with that. This pill, while it does help with the mood swings, seems to make me more apathetic towards everything. I hate the feeling of indifference, but it sure does beat the outbursts. However, being a dancer and in awesome physical shape, I now find myself with 'muffin top'... the excess fat around the waist that overlaps the pants. I have a constant feeling of dry mouth, and find myself drinking almost 80 oz. of water a day; most of which is likely retained. Also, extremely sensitive breasts. Showers hurt!  So, I have mixed feelings about Microgestin, but I will most likely continue to use."


"Hi. I was addicted to heroin for two years using about a gram a day. It ruined my life. It all started with the prescription pain narcotics. Then went to heroin because of price. People it's true. They will tell you pills lead to harder drugs. My whole family told me that and I always said I'd never do that. Well I did. I started by snorting heroin, then to injections. I lost all my stuff to pawn shops. Even robbed and stole. People if you are reading this as a current user please don't think you are stronger than others because the drug already controls you. Clonidine helped me great along with suboxone strips 8.m. People get suboxone for h withdrawal it will save you. I was prescribed clonidine and suboxone and didn't feel a thing."


"I take this for shingles and it works really good."


"I found citaprolam 10 mg dose using for three months has stopped my gambling addiction straight away. I also stopped feeling paranoid and depressed."


"I sort of on the fence here. I'm 19, 114lbs. I've only had the patch on for a week and I have alreaty gotten 2 cystic acne flare ups. One on my cheek near my left nostril and an extremely painful one on my jaw line near my ear. I had an IUD in for about 8 months but it caused me problems and had to be removed. The patch I notice i am very tired and bitchy with headaches and nausea. My biggest concern is the fact that i have never had bad acne. I'd usually only get 1-2 whiteheads during my menstrual week. Now my face is really bad, red blotchy gross cyst pimples. It really crushes ones self esteem. Ive been thinking maybe i just shouldn't use it anymore."


"After a few years of trying different medication combination, the Zohydro is a God send."


"I got the Implanon late 2009, now December 2010, I'm debating if I want it removed. I thought this was going to be nice. A friend of mine warned me the worst was yet to come. A few months after getting it put it I experienced weight gain I'm still dealing with this unexplainable fatigue and I've acquired a thyroid issue as well as the non stop bleeding, almost no sex drive and I'm only 21. I don't know how much longer I can deal with feelings a wreck, but I have not been pregnant and that's the only thing keeping me on this birth control."


"I would not recommend to anyone. It's great to not have to take something everyday but in the long run not worth the syptoms it causes. So moody all the time. I have had this for about two years and out of those two years only 3 months have had a normal period otherwise I bleed constantly. I'm 17 and it makes me so depressed I use to be the most bubbly person but now I feel like it drains the life right out of me.  I hate it and can't wait for to come out I'm on the count down."


"To be honest I had Paragard in under 4 months and had horrible experiences. Severe stomach cramps which felt like labour pains hair loss, severe depression which lead me to self harm and over dose. Mood swings were very bad to the extent I was lashing out and getting arrested very heavy bleeding where it was going through my clothing and suffered many migraines. After having the paraguard removed it's taken over 6 months to get where I am now which is am in more control with my moods the bleeding is back to light no more cramps and my hair is now back to long and thick. My depression is now controllable."


"Started on Uroxatral as a replacement for generic Flomax.  Pain while urinating, urgency and frequency of urination all increased, along with a lot of difficulty getting started and trying to keep going.  On top of that, I experienced rather bad constipation, to boot.  All of the above cleared up after going back to terazosin.  "


"Had implanted defibrillator fitted in UK in 2001, moved to Spain 2002, was getting occasional shocks and in 2006 prescribed amiodarone by cardiologist. Shock free for four years, but thyroid overactivity in 2010 caused change to different medicines. I get more shocks than ever and beg to go back on amiodarone even at reduced dosage, but no agreement yet. Had a shock whilst driving last week and two more today whilst relaxing by the pool. I'm nearly 77, alone in Spain, and have had enough of this. Can't drive again. Many problems. No side effects."


"I was coughing constantly and could not sleep. Took other medicines but didn't work that well. Took the medicine and didn't cough again and had a great sleep."


"This is my second implant, just had a new one inserted on Wednesday. The worst part is having a sore arm for a few days and the bruising. No periods for 3 years who can complain about that, was told not to gain weight so I went to slimming world and lost 4 stone. Love it !! My only complaint is my arm itches where the implant is sometimes but apart from that nothing. Love it !!"


"Absolutely horrible experience.  Made me have to go five times during the night.  Could not fall in to deep sleep kept waking up over and over.  Its morning and I am still feeling the effects of it two hours after taking.  Dry mouth and foggy head.  I took 25mg - 1 pill which package recommended for adult.  I will be throwing away the rest of the pills."


"I have been on Vyvanse for about 10 months.  It is an amazing drug to reduce distraction, calm the hyper/distractable me and just enjoy life a bit better.

The only downside for me are two things:

firstly, the afternoon crash can suck.  I often am left feeling a little anxious or irritated.

The other thing, and probably the more annoying side affect, is that is does impact my sleep.

To minimize these side affects, here are my tips that work for me:

1) stop drinking coffee or other stimulants.
1b) wait until you are properly awake before you take it...
2) don't drink on medication days.
3) schedule your diet and stick with it.
4) exercise in the morning (before taking it).
5) have your no medication / chill days."


"I've been on Necon 1/35 since 2006 without a break. Prior to this, I was on a different pill, preceded by the patch. It was a savior for me. My periods had been still so bad, that my doctor was on her last straw. If this pill didn't work, I was getting the shot. I would bleed through EVERYTHING despite having been on BC for a few years to treat my menstrual issues. With Necon, I've never had a single bad side effect in the 9+ years I've been on it, and my periods to this day really only last 24-36 hours, and then it's basically just spotting for 12-24 hours thereafter. The only reason I'm switching to another form of BC is because I'm tired of having to think about taking it every day."


"I have been taking this medication for a long time now. before i was put on Klonopin I always took panic attacks and felt nervous all the time. I stayed depressed and also had thoughts of Suside. My doc had put me on everthing u could imagine. I was on Paxil CR, Lexapro, Vistiral and Sequirrel. They never helped me at all. So I decided to change from my Retarded Foreign Doc and got a new Doc I told him my problems and he said he was going to start me on Klonopin. Since then i my life is great!"


"My doctor started me on Microgestin over a year ago to control my endometriosis symptoms. So far, it has helped completely with the irregular bleeding I was experiencing. I still have pain, so it hasn't 100% helped with that aspect. One side effect that almost made me stop altogether was the breast tenderness. I do notice that I get a small amount of acne at times. I have suffered with migraines for 17 years and I honestly feel that this  medicine brings them on or makes them worse. I have recorded 21 migraines in less than a year so am currently considering switching to another method of birth control."


"Worked well as a sleep aid but after a few months its became ineffective."


"So, this is the only pill I've ever been on, so I don't have much to compare it too. However, after reading all the negative reviews, I felt I should chime in. I'm on my second month of this pill and I'm almost done with it. So far, it's actually helped regulate my weight which is awesome. The first month was kind of rough, I was spotty the entire pack. Once I started up the second pack, everything cleared up and I've been good since! Worst part of this pill: no sex drive. It really does dry you up. I'm hoping this clears up after the 3rd pack because my doctor told me to give it until then."


"I would recommend this to anyone. I first had implanol at 19, back in 2009. I had a two week long period and that was the last period I've had. I'm now 24 and coming to the end of my second implant and I can honestly say I have had no bad side effects. When I was on the pill I came out in terrible acne, I had none with this implant. I haven't had any weight gain but I've always been around 150-160 pounds.
I'm living in the UK so for me (thanks to our amazing heathcare) this product is free, but I would pay for it if I had to. You have it changed once every three years and you're sorted until next time or you decide to have a little one. Fab."


"This is the first medicine that has worked fast and effective. I'm 43 years old and have tried many other medicines. My cough was so bad that my back, shoulder, and chest were painful when I coughed.  This works!"


"Whilst I have always had a tendency towards low moods I had my first bout of real depression at the start of this summer. Until then I didn't know what depression was and how utterly hopeless and cruel an illness it is. I honestly longed for death everyday. I had been suffering with it for varying degrees for a few months when After a week of not being able to get out of bed to go to work,  I finally went to the doctor (with my mothers encouragement) 3 weeks ago and was put on Citalopram. I can honestly say that it has been and is at the moment a real life saver for me. It doesn't make me 'happy' (nor do I care - anyone with depression will no you'll settle for not depressed), what it does is take away the desperation and as others have said helps  me to cope. It makes me want to do things to improve my mood, and gives me the ability to get out of bed in the morning. It just makes me feel a bit more like my old self. Re side effects, I have put on weight on it but I had lost so much whilst depressed I think I'm just putting my old weight back on, as I now have an appetite again. The worst side effect for me is sleeping - for the first week I had dreadful insomnia and I am still waking up around 4 every night. The side effects are small fry compared to the difference it's made.  It's by no means perfect but it's got me on the road to recovery and given me the ability to do cbt, meditation and just look after myself and actually enjoy life again. I hope anyone reading this for depression gets help in some way or another for this awful illness. Remember- it won't rain forever. X"


"This is my third day taking this antibiotic. It gave me really bad body aches and nausea. The third day I literally felt like I was dying. I always eat before I take it. I had to make myself throw up. My body was just going numb. It was sending shocking pains throughout my body. I was going in and out of consciousness. I highly don't recommend this medication. Everyone's bodies is different though. It was definitely not worth it for me."


"I had horrible insomnia for about a year and tried a number of pills, but none of them seemed to work. My doctor prescribed me 25 mg Amitryptyline, but it took about 3-4 weeks to actually kick in. I take it about an hour or two before bed, and it has helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. It's important to try and get 8 hours of sleep on it though, because it can make you feel groggy. I'm glad that I have finally found a medicine that has regulated my sleep schedule."


"Worked wonders on my skin. Everything was clear within 72 hours."


"Have dealt with GAD anxiety most my life. Started taking Effexor for a Major Depression episode.  Doctor stared me slow.  33 mg for 4 weeks, then 75 mg for 3 weeks, then 108 mg for 2 weeks and finally 150 mg.  Been on 150 mg about 6 months, some side effects along the way.  Just basically feeling "weird" was the worst side effect.  Wanted to quit many times along the way, but stuck with it.  It doesn't work overnight.
Sexual side effect is hard to have a orgasm, but I can deal that if I feel better.  Depression
is NO fun.  Good Luck All.  Tomorrow's always can be a better day.  GOD Bless."


"I got the nexplanon exactly a week ago 4/14/16 and I know it's only been a week but I absolutely love it so far. I had my period for 4 days and then it went away.. I have no signs of bleeding. My sex drive is definitely still there and I've lost 6.5 lbs since then. Before the implantation I was so moody and bitchy and now I'm so happy and want to get out more. I'll definitely write another review in a year. Since it has only been 1 week."


"I have severe pain in my neck and shoulders, migraine headaches, left knee residual pain from surgery, osteo arthritis in neck, knees, thumbs and hips.  I took one oxycodone 5 mg and after about an hour I was totally pain free for the first time in years.  It was an amazing feeling to not have pain.  It took me several hours to realize I was pain free. "


"I have had no difference in bleeding since inserted 8 months ago.

Time to get it removed,over it!"


"Tried many different pills and Flonase and none ever worked and just made me sleepy. Azelastine is a miracle for me. I had horrible itchy nose and constant sneezing/runny nose all day, and my eyes felt puffy and we're watery randomly during the months. Azelastine is the only thing that has completely cleared my symptoms not even 5min after the spray. When I first used it, it did make my nose feel bubbly and it was uncomfortable but after continued use i don't have this issue any longer. The taste is bitter but I rather deal with that than the all day horrid issues I was dealing with. Also it seems to wake me up and give me energy when I take it. Very wierd since I don't see anyone else mention this but it's a nice effect for me."


"I took it for a cracked rib. But if any of you who have been in this boat know, there is nothing you can do for a cracked rib. But taking Vicodin made the rest of my pain go away from other injuries and did make the cracked rib mush easier to deal with."


"I'm 18 y/o and I got the Implant inserted March 18, 2016 . I was afraid to get it mainly because I had seen so many women complain about long periods but I decided to try it out. The first month was okay, I got my period around the same time I usually did but this time instead of my usual 5 days, it was 9 days. That wasn't too bad. But then May 12, 2016 I started bleeding and haven't stopped! It is now June 8th, 2016 and I'm still bleeding . I'm going to get it taken out today and going on the pill . I do not recommend this birth control because a really long period is very annoying, it's costly (because of extra tampons or pads) and interferes with my sex life . Hopefully I stop bleeding soon after removal."

"I have been on Armour Thyroid for a number of years. Am having a hard time getting regulated. Having numerous symptoms-sweats, heart palpitations, dizziness, migraines to name a few. Anyone else experience this?"


"I had a stroke at 27 due to constant drinking and drug use mainly from depression I also had smoked a pack a day for 15 years (started when I was twelve). I had a lot of back pain before the stroke.  Bad enough that I would drink myself into a black-out to get rid of the pain or take so many Lortabs. Once I got to the rehab unit to rehabilitate my arm from the stroke I told them about the pain and they gave me oxycodone which helped for my migraines from the stroke, but not my back pain.  I am now taking Paxil and tramadol and have almost no pain. It is hard to believe so I give it an A . "


"This has been a miracle for me, and I truly hope that it can help others! For the past two years, I've had chronic refractory idiopathic urticaria, nonresponsive to antihistamines and with angioedema. Four months ago, I began an omalizumab treatment course of 300 mg every 4 weeks. Within days of the first injection, I immediately noticed a huge decrease in the redness, size, and swelling of the hives, and since then, I've noticed a gradual reduction in the symptoms. I've been hive-free for almost a full month now. The only downside: without insurance, this is extremely expensive. But for me, I consider it absolutely worth it."


"Was able to get an erection, but it would only last a couple of minutes before ejaculation. Tried 10mg initially, but results were the same - no staying power. 20mg does the trick. Place the tablet under my tongue, let it dissolve in my mouth. I'm fully erected and hard within minutes. Able to last a lot longer before ejaculation. Able to perform repeatedly throughout the night. A big ego boost for a 52 year old man."


"Never had the flu or flu shot in my 53 years on this planet. I guess there is a first time for everything. Diagnosed with influenza A within 48 hours of feeling sicker than I ever remember, severe fatigue, insane headache, chills, back ache, scratchy throat and difficult getting a good breath in. The nurse prescribed Tamiflu and Zofran (for nausea). Took the first dose of both drugs that night, I awoke feeling somewhat better and after the second dose I knew this stuff was working. Still super fatigued and no appetite, but I have had zero nausea or vomiting. I think the addition of Zofran is key. Tamiflu definitely lessens the symptoms and stops the virus from spreading through your entire body if given within 48 hours."


"I have multiple herniated disks from L3 to S1 and was given this for pain. It didn't help at all with the pain and actually made me feel worse. It made me tremble and sweat terribly; this medication did nothing for my pain."


"Male, 41 and have been using this medication for 15 years. Back then doctors were very reluctant to prescribe it. I was on a dose of only 50mg a day and had fair improvement. 50 mg a day, however I slipped through the cracks. I got a general practioner to fill my prescriptions. 50 mg, 10 years without regulation and as those diagnosed with Bi-Polar II disorder know, the depression slowly crept up unnoticed by me. It was not until traumatized, I knew to seek help. Back on Lamictal for the second time, but this time at a 175 mg dose, without antidepressants or ADD medications. I forgot what it felt like to enjoy life again. To smell, to crave, a libido, self confidence, self esteem, and rational judgement. Life is again a wonderful experience!"


"I've had two years without the ear infections and sinus infections that I had prior to taking this. This has been a miracle for me."


"This medication has been a lifesaver for me. Sometimes I would lay awake 4 hours miserable walks, hot showers, I researched 4 hours looking for a solution. As soon as I started taking this medication I noticed a very big Improvement. There is one downside to it. When I take this I am asleep within 30 minutes I am on the 4 milligram. I am feeling very blessed to finally have a solution to the restless nights."


"I have been taking Flexeril 10mg in Combination with Celebrex 200mg. I take both PRN and they work great. I started in 2005 on both meds from a accident at work. Now I also have Fibromialgia , RA and Osteoarthritis. I continue to take flexeril at night and it works great for me. I use a heated mattress pad and flexeril to sleep comfortable and I wake up with less stiffness and not as sore."


"I am 24. I have a little boy. I got my Mirena at my 6 week check up after having my son. I cramped most of the day but after that no cramps. I think I had one more period but I haven't had a period since and I got my Mirena 4 years ago come November 2011. I am still with my sons father and we don't use condoms, we have had a few accidents and I have not gotten pregnant since my Mirena was put in. I might be lucky or it's the Mirena. No acne problems but I have been tired and moody since it's been put in. I can't say if it's the Mirena or if it's my stressful life. Before I got pregnant, I could eat anything and never gained weight. Since I had my son, it's hard to lose weight although I haven't gained any. I would still recommend the Mirena"


"I have been on Celexa for about two weeks and can already feel a positive effect. I have not had any side effects and don't think I will. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the medication continues to work."


"Don't ever try this pill.  This pills has given me the most horrible experience in my life.   There are only negative side effects,  I have only taken three months and my face is full of Whitehead's,  red lumps and pimples all over my chin and cheek area.  There are still red scars on my face . Horrible,  I don't understand why this pill works for others and to the extreme not on others...  Is it because the younger you are,  yasmin is better for you?  If you are over 35 then it's so bad for your face?"


"I took one dulcolax last night at about eleven p.m. I have taken it before with out the problems I am having now. By four a.m. I was having severe stomach cramping but, no bowel movement. I experienced horrible cramps, nausea, bloating that would not relieve for hours and now it is almost six p.m. the following day and while the cramping is much less I still have an upset stomach. I considered going to the emergency room last night but, I really could hardly move and knew there was little they could do for me there. I will not ever take this stuff again! The packaging says it is "gentle" Good lord, no it isn't!! I've taken mag citrate before and did not experience the type of cramping and pain I had for hours early this a.m. with dulcolax. Will never take this again, I am still not feeling well almost twenty four hours after I took the one pill."


"I have struggled with asthma my whole life. I used my inhaler on average 10 times a day. I started Breo it started working right away.  By day 3 I noticed that I hadn't used my inhaler all day.  Using Breo has given me tremendous relief! I love it and it has seriously given me a better quality of life."


"I have been using trinessa for 2 months now and my acne is almost completely nonexistent. I do get a couple zits around my period but other than that I'm cleared up. Only downside is that I start spotting a week before my period but I also haven't been taking for 3 months yet so I may stop spotting early. Other than that I don't have any noticeable symptoms and my periods are much more manageable, I used to have horrid cramps but not anymore!"


"I'm on the tinidazole right now. It has caused me severe nausea and severe headaches that I can't even treat with Tylenol 3. My head hurts all day."


"I'm 33, w/no kids. I've been on a couple diff types of BC before but I think this one has been the worst. Started taking these pills because I was cramping a lot during my period and they were heavier than usual. It was fine for the 1st 3 mths, w/little to no side effects, my periods even seemed less painful and lighter. 6 mths later, I've noticed that I'm super emotional/sad, periods are inconsistent, 1 month its heavy w/break thru bleeding for about 4-5 days, spotting for about 2 weeks before and or even after my period, the next month I may not bleed much at all and the cramping hasn't decreased.  I've also noticed an in increase in the frequency of bad headaches and a lack of energy. Wouldn't recommend Aubra but everyone is different."


"Worked wonders for me, acne diminished into oblivion, no weight gain (of which I was terrified), no change in libido to my knowledge, increase in breast size (to my utter delight), no mood swings, and I'm not pregnant.
Which is great.
"


"I began taking phentermine a few months ago. I am 5'9 & 273 pds. I was so depressed, so putting the weight on came like second nature. I tried all the fad diets, weight watchers & Slimquick. I researched to see what else could I do and that's when I discovered Apidex. I went to my Dr and explain my situation & told her I wanted to try Apidex. She went online & 10 min later I had my script. After 1 mth I dropped to a whooping 252. I had brain surgery on 3/23 & couldn't refill my script until 3 weeks later. I started feeling better after 3 wks & weighed in again & I was 242. I had not been taking them for 1 mth. I saw my Dr. on Thurs. for the refill & today 5/4 I weigh 230. I have energy & work out. Side effects: dry mouth so drink  lots of aqua"


"I have been using step one of the patch for 4 weeks out of both boxes I have lost 3 patches that didn't stay in place after placement. I followed the instructions however they still came off. These are not cheap and being on a fixed income it frustrates me especially when you can not inform the very company that produces the product. Other then that they have been effective."


"Saw  Dr for pain in my wrists forearm burning pain in shoulder has been going on for years! Only recently after an MRI it found nerve compressions at c4/5 c6/7. Pain increasingly has become worse for the past year and a half! Rt arm /fingers numbness tingling and reduced strength of hand! Must say have arthritis at the base of both wrists with pain in wrists!Put on pregabalin! Took it for first time last night woke up at 4 am with pounding headache dry mouth! Took paracetamol! Pounding headache with nausea still on for most of the morning took painkillers with some effect! Head foggy sleepy!!Felt panicky!!!So didn't take pregabalin dose of the morning as became concerned and scared not being able to endure more!! What to do now???not sure???"


"Worked extremely well when I first started it at 20mg- I felt amazing good, started listening to music , became more affectionate and loving with friends and family , I was feeling so good that I started telling people out of the blue that I feel happy for first time in my life. BUT, that didn't last for very long. Over the next 4-5 weeks it completely stopped working and my old depressive symptoms of my bipolar disease came back. My doc upped the dosage to 40mg to see if I could get back to the old positive state I had before at the beginning but no dice . The higher 40mg dose gave me horrible severe anxiousness, agitation , and restlessness. Others have referred to this state of agitation as akathisia. I was climbing the walls!"


"At first it was great. I experienced some side effects (headaches & nausea) but didn't think to attribute them to the Nuvaring. Then they became regular, and the headaches got bad! I have a 7 month old and they make it difficult to care for him. Nothing gets rid of them and the pain makes me super irritable. I started the Nuvaring 3 months ago, I was almost back to my pre-baby weight. I have since gained almost 15 lbs and have no sex drive, which is putting a major strain on my relationship. To top it off, the past 2 months I've started my cycle a few days early (17-18 days) while the ring was still inserted. I'm changing my birth control. "


"No seizures while taking but have had bad bruising and constipation going on 2 years now.  But I'll take no seizures over the side effects!"


"I'm 31 years old.  Getting diagnosed and treated for adult ADHD has had a profound effect on my life.  It's enabled me to excel at work and in my personal life.  I'm glad that people are becoming more aware of all of the possible treatments for ADHD.  I've tried a number of medicines and Concerta is definitely the best.  I would encourage anyone who is just trying any ADHD drug to give a little time.  Most minor side effects lessen after a couple months."


"I was prescribed Zofran 4mg tablet after having a sucky bout of food poisoning, later turned IBS with chronic nausea. I have been on Zofran as needed ever since. Works great, if the nausea is really bad I double up and feel great again. Another thing I found is if you take zyrtec daily, it is great to use as a preventative, and add the zofran as a back up. Due to feeling like crap all the time with the ibs I was taking to much zofran, so my doctor recommended adding zyrtec which was a life changer. Instead of taking at least one zofran a day, I'm down to once or twice a week, if at all. The tablets usually worked within 30 minutes. Was just switched to the ODT, so that'll be an interesting switch, supposedly they kick in faster."


"I am 20 yrs old and I had it put in in January and so far its been good. I haven't had any problems with it except some hair loss but cant really say its more than average and as for acne my face actually has been clearing up. The one downer is that I still get my period but it last up to 3 weeks but its super light. Aside from that its great. This my first time ever taking birth control and its been good to me. The insertion hurt a lot - they told me it would because I haven't had kids. So it's good. I recommend it but I also tell people that its not for everyone."


"I started out with 20 mg of Saphris but stayed groggy.  Went down to 10 mg and have been on it for 6 months. I also take a sleep aid at night and now I sleep 6-7 hrs compared to 3-4. No running thoughts in my head. The longest time I have ever stayed out of the hospital in 12 years. I feel wonderful, when I start getting anxious, I take a 5 mg with my Xanax and I am good to go. Downside: Gained 50 pds and cholesterol is through the roof, even though I do not eat red meat. Always have the munchies though. Had to start on a statin medicine. Blood sugar is higher than usual but within range.  Keeping an eye out on this too.  But this is the only medicine that has worked for me without being a zombie or continued mixed episodes."


"Had taken Flomax 2 x 0.4 mg daily for BPH.  Was somewhat effective, but I had difficulty reaching orgasm and rarely ejaculated.  After changing to Uroxatral, both side effects improved, but still have diminished ejaculate volume and some difficulty reaching orgasm.

With both drugs I still had to urinate 1-2 times during the night."


"I have used Zofran on two different occasions.  Went to the Dr for assistance after a week of vomiting because I was so miserable and weak. Felt so much better within 30 minutes I started eating the first thing I saw.  Second time I used it to bypass the stomach flu that everyone was catching.  I took it within 2 hours of symptoms; I fell asleep shaking, heart racing, with a fever and cold sweat, clutching a bucket to throw up in. Woke up 6 hours later feeling absolutely fine, just a little hungry."


"I used to take an allergy drug called Ornade some years ago. It provided me instant relief of my allergy symptoms (hayfever and ragweed-related). Since then the only allergy medication that gives me that kind of relief is Allegra-D. "


"I've been on this medication for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it has benefited my skin. This has not been a panacea for my acne however, I still break out quite frequently. however this has helped calm down over sized pores and has slowed down the formation of large white ungodly white heads."


"Taken trinessa lo for several months after ins switched me.  No side effects other than increased appetite, but ortho tricyclen had that too. Gained 10 lbs.  but not much I can do except exercise.  It helps with night sweats too.  Good luck."


"I have COPD. I can't use a nebulizer with albuterol because I get severe headaches from it. I have tried five different prescribed inhalers but none worked as well as Primatene. I have used Spiriva and Advair and neither work half as well as Primatene. I sure hope they come out with a new Primatene."


"I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis about 4 years ago after having an attack that sent me to the ER.  I have been put on the Cipro/Metronidazole combo several different times and each time the side effects, in combination with the diverticulitis attack, made me miserable.  I'm on the fifth day of my latest attack and the pain is finally starting subside but the misery invoked by metronidazole is horrible.  I will remember to ask my doc for something else in the future.  Nausea, dry mouth, horrible taste in my mouth, furry tongue, diarrhea, and sinus congestion/sore throat have been the side effects I am dealing with.  I spent three days in bed and finally had to go back to work; but I'm miserable.  I will be so glad to take the last dosage!"


"When I was young I used to walk into a restroom and an old guy would be trying to pee.  When I left he was still trying to pee.  Well I ended up becoming that old guy.  I’m 50 and I have been diagnosed with BPH.  For the past 10 years I have had issues with my prostate.  I have been in and out of the doctors and urologist offices.  Also for the past few years I have had a tough time getting and maintaining an erection.  I have been taking 5mg of Cialis a day for the past 60 days.  Two words describe my experience wow / amazing.  I can now pee without any problem.  I'm ready anytime morning, noon, or night my wife and I want to have sex.    Before I would have to concentrate to get an erection and maybe or maybe not whether I could"


"I'm usually not one to go online and write up reviews for anything- but my experience with this birth control was horrible. I was on this for 2 months. The first month I suffered from debilitating stomach cramps almost everyday for the first 3 weeks, sometimes causing me to have to leave work. Also, I did not have spotting, but had my period mid way through the pack, about day 13, all the way till the last pill. I had my period for almost three weeks. Along with the bleeding and stomach pains, I was also nauseous and lost my appetite completely. I was not myself, feeling sad most of the days. The second month was not much better, my period was only about 10 days but it was before the placebo pills again. No weight gain or acne for me though"


"Was originally on TriNessa and hated it; Tri made me extremely emotional and I started breaking out in cysts. Been on Zarah for a little over a month and all of my cysts are gone. My old acne scars are clearing up and my emotions are very stable now. Sarah's packaging is cute (as if that matters, lol) and it's super easy to use. Although everyone reacts differently, Zarah was perfect for me and I recommend it to everyone."


"Long story short. I got it inserted march 2014. First yr went well besides anxiety, depression and mood swings. Right after the first year I started to get constant bv ( bacterial vaginosis). AFTER everything!!! And I couldn't figure it out. My face started to break out for MONTHS. I'm not really prone to acne. Did some research and seen others going through the same thing.. finally gotten it taken out October 2014 and I am relieved!!! I haven't had any bv since and my acne is clearing! No more depression, anxiety I'm back to normal! The good thing is it 100% protects you from pregnancy but I couldn't take the side effects. & not to mention when I first started I was 110lbs I'm now 129llb."


"I had cystic acne on my face, neck, shoulders, and back. I have never been able to wear a tank top, or bathing suit and my hair with no makeup for 7 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ACCUTANE! I'm not even done my 120 day course yet and I could almost cry right now, talking about how great I feel now. I think the trick to avoiding all those serious side effects is sticking to a lower dosage. I'm on 30mg a day and it took 3 1/2 months (BE STRONG PEOPLE IT TAKES TIME) and I can officially say I am acne free all over for the first time in 7 years. I wish I could be some sort of motivational speaker for this stuff. If you are thinking about it DO IT! Down side is the dry patches on my arms and cracked lips, the only thing that works is Vaseline. And another upside to it is my hair! It never gets oily! "


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"On my 2nd day of meds and the headache is ridiculous. Very rarely do I get headaches but this one is bad and 1000mg of Tylenol didn't touch it. Going on 6 hours with it now. Also am itching randomly. Haven't noticed any rash though except a small patch on my lower back about the size of a half dollar. Going to keep an eye on my body and make sure I don't break out. My course is 14 days at 4 times a day. Not sure if I can make it through this."


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


"Very quickly made everything in my head a lot quieter stopped hallucinations and had only minor side effects. I have been self medicating with recreational drugs for over 25 years pristiq is a massive serotonin booster stopped taking other drugs and have not missed them, also find I am now a less of a danger to other people as now they don't annoy me as much."


"I had taken Ambien on and off for several years. It seemed to be the ticket to a good night's rest. Then, it was less effective a few times. The major problem was that I had to lose an entire night's sleep to break away from it, if taken for more than 3 nights in a row. STILL, I thought it was worth it just to get SOME sleep. THEN, one night I had what I NOW know is commonly called an "Ambien nightmare". Recently I got the Flu. The Tamiflu sparked insomnia once again. I started taking Lunesta. It tastes bad but it is WORTH it. I can take it up to 1 hour before bed or 5 minutes and it relaxes me. If I happen to wake up,I can go back to sleep! Wonderful! What a new life for me! Ready to hop up in the mornings now!"


"my boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now, and the condom broke while have sex. I took plan b 50 hours after intercourse and it worked "


"I had the Implanon inserted on Jan 8 2014, and had removed Jan 31 2014. It had been horrible. I've experienced in this very short time, no sex drive whatsoever along with dryness of the vagina! Such discomfort I would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep because it itched due to the dryness. I'm usually very, very, lubricated. "


"Imitrex in any form is the Best med for Cluster headaches by far. High flow oxygen at first twinge, and the pill at the onset (even if you think it might hurt) Most effective. You all know how fast they come on. Usually work immediately unless late in a cycle. I too wish you could take more than twice in a 24 hr period. After suffering for almost 20 yrs with no medicine at All. For these crippling things. I have tried all Imitrex types, injections ,pills, nasal sprays. Injections are fast but so very expensive and painful as well. Nasal spray is nauseating for me, the pill form has always worked well if taken at the very BLINK of headache. Because of price and insurance restrictions I would wait to take the medicine. Not anymore."


"I discussed this medication with my doctor after a friends good experience. Docs concern was that I would gain it back when off the medication but agreed to write it if I could show him I was implementing the necessary life style changes to maintain a healthy weight. He recommended the lose it app to monitor my calories, that alone was enlightening. I found I was at my daily calorie limit before lunch due to some bad choices, fast food breakfast and lunch, by dinner and snacks  I was off the charts -found I was eating over 5000 calories a day. I could not have done it without Belviq, I find I eat now for energy and have a choice to eat the best energy. Willpower pill."


"I started taking this last month.  Initially I was taking Microgestin but it was making me extremely moody and gave me acne.  Then I switched to Sronyx and my skin is clear again and I hardly have any side effects.  This is my second month on the pill and it just seems like the side effects really do go away after 2 or 3 months. I love this pill and I doubt I am switching. I have tried so many, including the Mirena.  This is a good one."


"I am 21 and a nightmare with remembering contraception! I am never in the same place everyday so the pill has never worked. I was on the implant for years but the side effects were horrific. I have finally found the right form of contraception - NuvaRing. It is fantastic! It suits busy full time ladies especially if you work shifts and your hours are all over the place like myseld. I have suffered no side effects at all. I just mark my diary and there's no hassle! It has not affected sexual intercourse for me, in fact quite the reverse - I found my partner is excited by the fact there is a ring in my Vagina! Has also eradicated my heavy periods and pains completely! It needs to be more widely advertised! I didnt know it existed for years!"


"After 37 years I have tried all the shampoos, creams, oils, out there.  I am still refusing biologics though..... the stuff can give you lymphoma, no thanks.  My dermatologist gave me samples of taclonex topical suspension  and I liked it right away.  I like that It stays on long enough to soften my plaques.  It eases some of my relentless itching immediately so that I can sleep.  I paid 40 dollars for my prescription because I called my insurance ahead of time to get it approved, that saved me 1200 dollars.  It worked well for me when I got samples, here is hoping it continues to work for a while."


"I took this medicine from the mid 70's until it was banned in the US in 2005. There is no other medicine like it that I have found. A very small dose each day kept me focused and improved my memory and mood. It never affected my appetite nor kept me awake at night and there was none of the emotional roller-coaster effect I find with every other medicine I have tried since."


"I have Delusional parasitosis. It has made my life a living hell for over 3 years. I was prescribed Seroquel last month and after taking it one time my symptoms we're nearly gone. For me it's a godsend."


"I am absolutely thrilled with the results I have had so far. Been taking Qsymia for 49 days and have lost 20 pounds. I have also been following a 1500 calorie diet and getting moderate exercise 3 to 4 times a week for about 30 minutes each time. I know the medication has assisted me to stay within my daily calorie intake. I did have some side effects in the beginning that dissipated. This included lethargy and difficulty concentrating. STARTED at 238lbs now at 218 just 58 more pounds to go."


"I started Nexplanon in July of 2014. I had a period almost non-stop for a year with maybe 1-2 weeks break here and there. After the first 3 months I wanted it out, but my doctor encouraged me to wait a little longer since it can take time to adjust. So being the trooper I am, I left it in. After the first hellish year, I stopped having a period completely. That part was fantastic. I did experience bloating, INSANE mood swings and breakouts though. But of course, after a period-less year, I started bleeding nonstop again in June until a week ago when I finally had the implant removed. The other side effects were a lot already...add the non stopping bleeding and I just couldn't handle it. It just wasn't for me."


"Keeps me from being overwhelmingly hungry so that I can concentrate on eating 3 low calorie healthy meals daily with some nutritiuous snacks thrown in. Not being hungry all the time allows me to spend more quality time excercising as well"


"Abilify keeps me very well, and has improved my life, after spending 13 years sedated, this was a relief! Only side effect I get; bladder weakness."


"Just want to update since previous review:

To understand how this product works you have to know what it does. It blocks a certain amount of the fat you eat from being aborbed into your body and thus reduces your calorie/fat intake. It's not a miracle drug, if you eat a very high fat diet yes it may help a bit but it won't do ALL the work.

Also, if you eat little/no fat anyway it can't help as it won't do anything for you. It can't block fat that isn't there.

If like me you're on a long term diet it can really boost your success. I have gone from a bmi of 47 to 39 in 6 months. Still some way to go but Alli is helping a great deal and keeps me motivated with consistent weekly weight losses."


"I am pain free at night for the first time in years. I do have some side effects but they are not nearly as bad as the side effects I was having with pain medication."


"I've taken Lunesta for a year and as a night shift nurse I'm able to take 3mg and sleep solidly for 5-6 hours while the sun is shining outside. When I wake I'm ready and refreshed for another 12 hour overnight shift. The funny taste goes away after a while and is worth the benefit of a good sleep. I recommend taking it on a relatively empty stomach then jump in the sack in a cool room and close your eyes try to calm your breathing then let the sleep come to you. A good pair of comfortable earplugs may help too."


"It really eases the pain."


"this medicine is bad news"


"This medicine is a life saver. I'm currently 8 months pregnant and hadn't gained weight at all throughout this pregnancy. I actually lost weight because I was nauseous, vomiting regularly and couldn't eat throughout this entire pregnancy. I was taking Zofran which did help but thanks to Diclegis I was able to start eating more, the nausea went away and I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I take Zofran throughout the day and 1-2 Diclegis at night because of the drowsiness, but this medicine is a definitely a life saver for me."


"Initially I had injections for a few years.  It raised the red blood cell count significantly.  Did not find a significant improvement with the use.  T levels were below normal levels and injections brought levels to 'normal'.  Started using Androgel a few years ago.  Initially 6 applications daily, then tweaking down and up to bring the red blood count to within safe range.  Had improved T levels with Androgel.  However, lacking sex drive, lack of energy, being tired, and not much improvement with erection.  In short.... a mixed feeling about its use."


"It caused panic attacks on me. Terrible drug."


"I took plan b in july26 about 10days after my period and didnt have my period in August. I thought I was pregnant  and was very worried but all pregnancy test came out negative. My next period was supposed to be in September 12th but it eventually came in September 18. Just a few days late. That means there was no period for 2months. Anyways plan b worked although it might affect your circle."


"Abilify has been a life saver to me.  Initially there were side affects, but I was determined to stick with it and in time, they went away.  I've been on a combination of different antidepressants which just didn't seem to be working.  It seems that over time, they lose their effectiveness.  The depression, anxiety and panic attacks became so bad that I couldn't get out of bed, sleeping all day and staying awake all night.  I had no desire or motivation to do anything.  I began to become aware of suicidal thoughts which scared me.  My doctor decided to add 2 mg. of Abilify to my regimen and it has worked like a miracle.  My only concern is that I am still feeling some anxiety, restlessness and occasional panic which may be from the Ability."


"In January 2012, I was diagnosed with a autoimmune disease known as, Rheumatoid Arthritis. In September 2013, I began to develop a medical condition known as Pruritis. In my case, this condition can not be seen externally. However, when present internally, each occurrence can affect my arms, hands, legs, ankles, feet, stomach and back. Currently, it is unknown if my rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis is the underlying cause. Over a period of two months this condition went from a mild annoyance to a unbearable, disabling condition. Then, in late November, I discovered "Neurontin." A 900 mg a day.....miracle."


"I love Jolessa. I have no periods for three months and little to no side effects. I was on Depo for eleven years and due to insurance changes had to change to the pill."


"Great medication for HIV...."


"I was told to switch to Lialda after being on Asacol HD for 3 years 2 pills 3x a day 800mg each, due to my insurance not covering it anymore. My doctor told me the only difference was the coating, so I felt confident making the switch. By the end of week one of Lialda 1200mg 2 pills 2x a day, I was starting to get pain and go more frequently until it turned into diarrhea. I had no flare ups for a year and had been feeling great on the Asacol, so I immediately switched back to it after a month on Lialda. It was too late the wheels had already started turning on the road to a flare up. I am now on day 8 of being back on Asacol, waiting for my prednisone to get me better. I am so disappointed this happened."


"I've been taking Ambien for 3 years because of my insomnia and I have to say even with it having such strange side effects it helps me get to sleep and stay asleep."


"I have had anxiety and depression for years. Was on all different types of medicines. Even got so badly depressed and anxious that I was bedridden for almost 1 year. I got switched to Effexor and in a few days felt great! I cannot believe I spent all these years in darkness! This is the best medicine ever for me! I am not depressed and zero anxiety! I just wish I would have been on it earlier."


"I really love this birth control. I have only had it for a month. 9-24-11 But its the best method I've tried and I have tried about everything. I have NO side effects, and I have two kids so I need something that will last a while and I really love it. I would recommend this to anyone... who don't want any kids for a while and if you cannot remember your Pills."


"Unfortunately, the 3 injections in my knee have done nothing to alleviate the pain, in fact, it is 3 weeks after all shots & my knee is slightly worse than before. I am hoping that by 6 months, when it wears off for those who experienced excellent results, for me, it will be back to "normal". Perhaps another brand will work better for me. The 1st shot did not hurt at all, but after 2 days, it became very painful, so much so I could not sleep. It did finally settle down, but I did consider not finishing the shots at all. 2nd was somewhat painful and left a small bruise. The third was just a little painful. Before the shots, I wore a knee brace during the day & do that now, too  My doctor says I am not a candidate for replacement surgery."


"Read all the reviews & just dreaded my appointment.  However, good news, the taste is not as bad as previous preparations I had to drink that were thick and briny.  True that this is Very Sweet.  I mixed it with crystal light lemonade.  I used a staw to take large sips and then cut up a lemon to suck on in between sips to get rid of the aftertaste.  It worked great as I had no problem getting it down.  The problem is the (2) 16 oz bottles of water afterwards as you already feel bloated.  Again, I used a straw and the water quickly went down.  My advice is to sit on the toilet as you are drinking the water because it tends to go right through you.  I took first prep at 5pm and it started to work within 20 minutes.  2nd prep due at 3am."


"I have been on and off taking birth control pills. I started Microgestin Fe 1/20 about 4 months ago. And ever since I have had a lot of rough mornings with nausea and headaches. It helped clear out my cystic acne; but I have gained dramatically 10 lbs within 4 months and that wasn't funny! More like a devastating realization. Every woman is different and I had read these reviews before taking it. I guess you wont really know until you try it. That's how you know whats best for you and I found that Microgestin Fe 1/20 is not for me. Hope this is helpful!"


"I was prescribed the drug Levofloaxcin  after being diagnosed with pneumonia a month ago. I was misdiagnosed twice before (for the flu, then sinus infection). I had a fever, cough and extreme fatigue.
WORD TO THE WISE: if you have an ongoing cough, fatigue and low grade fever at night THOSE ARE TEXTBOOK SYMPTOMS OF  pneumonia. Just demand a chest X-Ray right away!
Now onto Levofloaxcin. I took 750mgs for 7 days and it definitely did the job, I felt better in two days. The side effects *were intense* (nervousness, joint pain, increased heart rate, light headedness, insomnia). BUT it was worth it!"


"I've been taking it regularly for about a week it was very helpful at first and sleep well.  Now I'm is so much pain in the bladder and right kidney mostly in my back. I'm starting to really worry.  My blood pressure is really high and I'm having blurring vision.  Thank god I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow.  That's if I don't have to go to the hospital"


"The spray is amazing...only thing that will clear my scalp...Right now my scalp is in a mess because my insurance will not pay on it and it is $400 for a 4oz bottle...I can't afford that."


"I've been taking these two days and already I can feel and see the difference my stomach has went so flat it's unbelivable I'm so happy with the results already and I can't wait to see the ending result I would recommend these to anyone who is willing to loose weight it's amazing. I'm happy with the results in two days so God knows what it will be like after 2 months."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for 5 years. I started Requip at 1mg now I am taking 2.5mg. I have had morning sickness everyday. Nothing else works. I am hoping the path will work. I am willing to try anything."


"My doctor wanted to try me on Nucynta for my sciatica pain since Ibuprofen and Ultram did not work very well.  I tried one dose Friday night 75mg, and woke up Saturday morning with a horrible headache.  Then an hour or so upon getting out of bed, it turned into the worst headache of my life and then had nausea and vomiting with it.  I wound up having to go to Urgent Care and they gave me a shot of Toradol for the headache and a shot of Phenergan for the nausea and vomiting.  I finally felt better after awhile.  These side effects were too horrible for me."


"I love this medicine. I have bipolar II disorder, and this medicine does everything it's supposed to do. It keeps my manic moods completely in check, and works very well in conjunction with Zoloft. I have been on both drugs for years, and I have not had any serious depression or mania for over 20 years! The only side effect that I experience is fatigue, but so worth it. The side effects are minimal. I feel and act NORMAL."


"Doctor had me on 100mg morphine er 2 x a day, the side effects were really bad. He put me on Opana ER 40mg 2 x a day and Opana IR 5 mg  for break through pain its the best pain med ever been on. I have spinal stenosis degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis. Was in terrible pain before Opana now at least I can stand to be alive again."


"I've been on Copaxone since the day I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago.  I too had the choice of which medicine I wanted to take and I chose Copaxone, and I haven't looked back since.  Yes, I've had occasional flare-ups, but nothing major.  I could barely walk when I started and it got me back on my feet and back to work full-time."


"I have suffered with acid reflux (inflammation) for over one year, which affected my life massively. I was at my wits end, I completely changed my lifestyle (diet) cutting out all spicy foods (which I love) swapping for yogurts, lots of vegetables and probiotics, helped a little but I'd still suffer with acid reflux every single day. In the end I felt depressed and unable to feel happy. I had an infection called "H pylori" which I feel caused me serious health issues including deficiencies with B12 and folic acid as well as many many more health issues. Anyways in short I've recently been prescribed Esomeprazole 20 mg and OMG within one day I felt miles better, reflux gone and so much stomach relief- this medicine really did help me hugely."


"DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!

Ever since I got my first shot in January 2016, I haven't stopped bleeding. (It's May 2016). It gives me horrible cramps, mood swings, and decrease in breast size. I had basically all the bad symptoms from this birth control... Please DON'T take it.

I've been bleeding for 4 months straight and it's driving me insane. Please pray for me that this will end soon."


"Seems that with the first dose I was feeling much better, in fact I didn't have any pain or spasms for a few days, I thought to myself, "wow this actually works." Low and behold a week later after starting the script I can't sleep, I toss and turn, and feel like I am half awake and half asleep. My mouth gets so dry and my teeth hurt to the point of serious discomfort. The migraines are probably the worst though. I just can't imagine that this drug is doing all of this but it seems as though I need a different prescription."


"The time I was on Trinessa was horrible. I had major mood swings, lost a lot of weight, got really depressed and felt like a total different person. I also got migraines once a week from the start of the pill until I finally decided on changing it."


"I'm pretty sensitive to medicine, in fact I get so many side effects I have a long list of medicines I can't take. I didn't get any side effects from Diflucan so I'm pretty impressed. I read the reviews and the majority of the negative ones I think were misinterpreted, I don't think half of those were actually from this medicine so it's a shame they reviewed it so poorly. I have a candida overgrowth which is causing my infections so I have to take Diflucan once a week for 3 months, so far no problems."


"I am a 53 year old woman who started smoking when I was 9, by 13 I was up to 2 packs a day, I smoked 2 packs a day for 40 yrs. Every woman in my family died from emphysema.  My mother was 59, my Aunt 69, my Grandmother ?. I have been wanting to quit for over 20 yrs.  I've tried hypnosis, smoking camps, Smoker's Anonymous, pills, patches, anything.  Nothing worked.  A friend told me she had gotten Chantix and it gave her weird dreams so she stopped taking it.  I said I like weird dreams, can I have what's left over. (I know this is not the right the way to get it)  she gave it to me, with instructions. On the 6th day I woke up (you can smoke for the 1st 7 days) and didn't even think about a cigarette, NO CRAVING WHATSOEVER!"


"Like most of you I did not read reviews nor the box.I've had a YI before and have used Monistat in the past but never the 1 day.I was on antibiotics and knew I'd get one so I asked for the pill. Problem there is you take the pill on the last day of antibiotics.My vag gets a YI with just the thought of getting an Rx for antibiotics.I grabbed that 1 day max strength like it was the last machete during the zombie apocalypse.I put that egg in around midnight at 3 am I woke up to the WORST itching of my life I honestly wanted to use my cats claws to satisfy the itch (that's a joke, don't call PETA). Its day 4 after insertion and that was basically a chemical peel, my vag is so irritated and sensitive but at least the YI is cured."


"I am on my second implant.  I got my first one in 2001 in Australia, where it was only $23 (Aussie money, so under $20US, AND THAT'S WITHOUT INSURANCE).  I moved back to the US and had a difficult time finding a doctor who could remove it.  In 2008 I was living in OR and found that they had recently brought Implanon back to the US and I RAN out to find a dr.  The first time I had it in I had a 24/7 period, heavy, no joke.  But after that it stopped completely.  After my first one I went through Depo Provera and then The Patch, but nothing is as awesome as Implanon.  A word of advice: menstruation for me on Implanon is DIRECTLY related to weight gain.  If I go over 150lbs (at 5'10") then my period starts. Under than I'm clear."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 1 week. I loved how it lifted me up right away. I was on Cymbalta for 5 years and was having panic attacks and very stressed out and wasn't working anymore.  I have noticed mild headache off and on and NO sex drive, like short tempered too, oh and night sweats started  and we don't like that,  but from what I have read it should lighten up. I do feel better and will give it a chance like with any new medication your body has to get used to it.  Hope this one works! I have even backed off on my smoking which is a plus! Good luck to every one."


"I started my weight loss on November 1st 2016 and I was taking the B12 and 30g of Phetermine for 4 weeks to try it out. I lost 10 pounds the first week while doing the Keto diet, 5pounds the second week, 3 pounds the third week, and 2 pounds the 4 week. Yes, I lost weight less than the last two weeks but it was because of my families thanksgiving dinners threw off my Keto diet which was worth it because you only get to stuff your face so much, once a year lol. But hell, I still lost weight! I lost 20 pounds in 1 month and I now weight 180 pounds. This is a HUGE DIFFERENCE I can see. The best part of gaining weight is I gained bigger boobs lmao!! I feel amazing, energized and SUPER motivated to get back to my normal weight of 125-130lbs."


"I have been on Savella 4 a short period of time and it took the place of Cymbalta. I suffer from fibromyalgia and migraines. I notice terrible intensity of the headaches. I wake up with a much more intense headache than I used to. The insomnia I'm getting used to, I'm taking amitrytiline for that. I think I'm going to wait it out because fibromyalgia is a complicated disease. There is no 24 hour cure and I notice if I move around it also helps. Worse side effect for me is blurred vision because I am an avid reader. Good luck fibromyalgia suffers. My motto is what do you have to lose. We're all in pain already what's the worst that could happen."


"Viibryd is good for mild depression, OK for OCD, and totally not efffective in minimizing mood swings related to PMS. It took over a month to finally feel the depression lift."


"After my nucleoplast surgery in 2001 constant pain because my 3 lower disks were turned into (flat tires) since they remove some of the disks juice, no surgeons could help me, I  just had the right and left nerves deadened by a nerve block that did not work and the lower steroids shots  work a couple days, the one dr put me on gabbapentin helped about 5% with the pain, and last week I read in the AARP paper that celebrex is not really that bad or dangerous ,its on the same level as motrin or ibuprofin, after taking the 200 mg pill twice a day for the past 3 days my pain has lessened 80% and I am sure as it builds up it will kick in and work for me. Its been a GODSEND since my pain was driving me crazy ,I can sleep now."


"I've been prescribed ability and loxapac for a manic episode on May 19th for slightly more than three weeks. It worked well but early June I started to feel unable to sit  still at some places. Around June 10th I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks, it was pure torture, so back to the institution. Had to wait two days until a doctor showed up , gave me something that stopped it all and removed the two drugs. It might be loxapac. Fact is, since then, there is another torture. Akathisia in the form of wanting to walk all the time. It's been one week now and thanks god it stops at night. I want to live (I'm not even 20)
I pray it stops fast  l've suffered enough.
I really hate Abilify or Loxapac"


"I'm 19 years old, with no kids. I've had it for a week now. I was almost discouraged from getting it because of all the mixed experiences that I've heard.

I took 800mg ibuprofen before hand..and I won't lie, insertion for me, was the most painful experience of my life for about 30 seconds. The nausea hit soon after it was in, and the cramps worsened once I got home. I took some Tylenol PM, and slept for nearly 24 hours straight. The whole time absolutely regretting the whole thing, and just wanting it out ASAP. I felt generally out of it for the next two days and now, a week in, it's the best decision I've made, in regards to birth control. My mood is improved, my sex drive has improved, my self image has improved. I just feel better all around. I haven't had anything other than very minor cramps. Had no spotting so far. The only thing I do recommend is to go to the bathroom before insertion, because it was incredibly hard for me to have a bowel movement for the first few days after insertion. LOVE THE MIRENA SO FAR THOUGH!"


"I started taking 1.5/30 about 18 months ago. I actually have lost weight on the pill, but can be a result of other lifestyle variables. I enjoy the light period and my cramps are little to none. I have not gotten pregnant. My libido has significantly decreased which is a bummer. My blood pressure has slightly increased. I also have gingivitis which I never had before. I don't get headaches or mood swings. I would describe my mood as neutral most days. I sometimes feel light headed when I stand up from sitting and once almost passed out from one alcoholic drink. I know my review sounds mixed, but it's doing it's job: controlling birth."


"No relapses. Extreme hair loss.  Annoying flushing side effect BUT it working."


"I am a 15 year old boy and am on my high school's swim team. After a few months of not really working out, after a few weeks of intense training severely agitated my shoulders and any time I moved my arms I was struck with really severe pain. I was put on this medicine immediately, and it was an absolute miracle. It was like a pain eraser. With taking this medicine, I went to PT for about 10 months, and am now off of it. I think this made my experience a lot easier and highly recommend this to anyone with severe pain."


"We're very happy!!  It works great.  First time nothing happened.  I have used it 6 times.  Paid big bucks for it but have no regrets"


"I'm at 110mgs a day, kept me clean from other opiates now for a year, only downfall is that it doesn't seem to last as long as I need it to, by the early evening I feel down and weakand not to mention the dry constipation.... But really how can I complain? I'd take a little weakness and dry shit any day over the life I had during my addiction. Not only has this helped me with an addiction but with chronic back pain, I have degenerative disc disease, ruptured, slippled and bulging disc in my back, for the most part  methadose controls my severe pain... I think god for it but I truely don't want to be on this my entire life.. 26yrold female"


"Deplin has helped to clear my thinking and has improved my memory, big difference noted when stoped. Continued right away after stopping!"


"I wanted to share my feelings on Paragard since I just got mine a few months ago and have heard some pretty scary things about it. I am 21 and came off NuvaRing after 3 years of using it. The  the insertion of the IUD was the most painful thing I've ever felt, it made me nauseous  BUT it was over within 10 minutes. The following week was hell with non stop cramps and bleeding. After a week, I felt great! My period came earlier than expected but was roughly the same as it was before having the IUD. 7-8 days with 3 days of debilitating cramps and enough bleeding to use a super tampon in 45min. It didn't hurt worse or last longer! Now in month 2, I still feel great. My messed my cycle up a bit but it is getting more regular again. I love it!"


"I've only been on it a few days. Started slow which was perfect. I had crippling pain for years but only a few days on it and I've noticed small amounts of relief from pain and a wonderful burst in energy and feeling of happiness. My husband says in getting back to my old self which feels amazing. It's only been a few days but I haven't had any negative side effects. I expect to continue feeling better each day.

I had severe insomnia for 8 months. Even after crazy amounts of sleep aids it could still take me 4 hrs to fall asleep. The last 2 nights I was able to sleep with no sleep aids. First time in months! It's only the first week on the medicine but I've had a great experience so far. I have high hopes that it will continue"


"I have been on Xeloda since October 2011 and haven't had any of the side effects listed.  I have been able to maintain my appetite and haven't lost my hair.  Actually, my hair has thinned just a little, gained a little bit more body and is getting lighter.   This has been a very positive experience as far as chemo goes.  I definitely will do Xeloda again (If I have to).  There is a questionable mass on my lung...surgeon says cancer....oncologist no sure...and it is shrinking.  I'm unsure if it is related to the combination medication I was on or Xeloda.  I will hopefully determine that with this cycle of Xeloda on its own. "


"I have been taking Aviane for two months now, I have not had any weight gain, still having some pimple issues, but I hope that will clear up in the next couple of months. I feel my hormones are balanced, and I used to sweat a lot, and it has even stopped that! So happy on this pill."


"Two hours after taking this medicine, I was back in my doctor's office with probably the worst migraine headache I've ever had. "


"Very effective against anxiety possibly the best."


"I'm 28 years of age, in great shape but unfortunately I inherited gout from my dad! He suffered with gout since the age of about 25...I woke up one day & felt the worse pain of my life! I had a throb & ache in my big toe. I'm a mom who birthed a child naturally and let me tell u.. Gout is 10"


"Didn't work at all. Don't use, especially if you have issues with constipation. Tastes good, but what a waste. The other stuff, the REAL stuff tastes awful but works."


"Shakiness, jittery, insomnia, sweating, lose of appetite, nausea, dry mouth and bad taste in my mouth. I had no pain relief from Cymbalta at 30 or 60."


"I'm on day 4 and all of my symptoms from my infection have subsided but I have been experiencing some few mild side effects from the medicine. It seems to dehydrate me as every morning I wake up feeling weak and my urine is orange/almost brown which is normally not common, I drink about 2 32oz bottles of water daily. Also since I have been taking my doses during breakfast/dinner it has been making me restless and keeping me up a while longer at night. Other than that, the only real complaint I have is the horrible taste of the pill. I have tried putting the pill in a chunk of jello, taking it with orange juice, and each time I take it I still give a small taste of the pill and that alone makes me want to throw it right back up."


"I have been getting injections for my edema for years. Last time I was at the derms office I got samples of eucrisa...best stuff ever. I have used so many other topical ointments without success...

This has been like a miracle drug. Problem is my insurance will not cover it..so I c annoy purchase the full tube. My samples are gone!!"


"I find that taking Lamictal has made my condition of bipolar disorder has made me feel better about myself and influenced my ambitions.It is a wonderful drug and has kept me from having any suicidal thoughts, which I have had in the past.The only thing that is irritable about the drug is itching.It drives me a little crazy but I feel a lot better, and I am glad to tell everyone about it."


"For years I have been misdiagnosed. I have been on Cymbalta, Seroquel, Celexa, Xanax, Olanzaprine, Vyvanse, and many other drugs I can't remember the names of. Then I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After multiple medications my doctor put me on Lamictal. At 25mg I could tell that I was feeling better but I was still experiencing depression and hypomania. After two weeks I increased to 50mg and started to notice a big difference. My moods were more stable and I could function normally. Although lethargy is still a problem but nothing coffee can't cure! Now I'm on 100mg and although I'm still tired, I feel much better. This has saved my life and my relationships!!"


"(A little background on my skin, I get a pimple here and there and overall have pretty normal skin)

I saw a commercial for Differin and immediately went online  to buy it, I thought that the product sounded great for the price! After I purchased it I started looking into side effects and reviews on the product. They were pretty mixed with some people saying they loved it and others saying they hated it but the main thoughts were that it might make your breakouts worse for a few months then get better, and it can make your skin dry and sensitive.

Well let me tell you I used this product as directed for 3 nights in a row and it gave me a chemical type burn on my face, my skin is flaking off and I am using a TON on moisturizer to try to keep it as hydrated as I can, and it hurts to even touch my face. And I don't mean like when your skin is dry type of flaking off, I mean like worse sun burn in your life type of flaking off. I also have a pretty high pain tolerance and anytime I touched my face, took my makeup off, put makeup on, or used my moisturizer it felt like 10,000 needles stabbing me in my face while getting burned by a hot iron.

I have now stopped using the product and two days later my skin is still the same; flaking, red, and hurting like no other.

Do NOT use this product unless you are ready for some serious pain and skin damage."


"I was very young and I would get a feeling of not being able to breathe so I would lay down breathe slowly and that was not helping me anymore so I was put on Xanax I didn't even have to take all that was perscribed that is how well it helped"


"I started having menopause migraines in June 2014. My doctor started me on 25 mg daily. At first, this medicine helped me but my migraines started to get more frequent. Over the course of 2 years, I was bumped up to 400 mg daily, the max dosage. I always felt that my head was foggy, memory was shot, problems speaking, losing sleep, no appetite and more & more intense migraines. This medicine quit working too. I finally stopped this medicine in March 2017. I immediately noticed a difference in my head.
To say this medicine is evil is putting it mildly. Your migraines can get worse while taking Topirimate and unless you pay attention to your body, you won't realize it is the medicine making them worse. Beware when taking this medicine"


"Prescribed for urinary incontinence, notably stress incontinence.  I started with 5mg  (eventually began10 mg.) of Vesicare and it worked overnight.  When I am running low on tablets and payday is off in the future, I have good success with taking 10mg. every other night.  Side effects: 1. Very dry mouth, but good excuse to drink more water; keep TicTacs handy; over time it has greatly diminished.  2.  Drowsiness:  I started taking it at night.  3) Constipation:  drank more water and took a daily stool softener until my body readjusted."


"I was prescribed for a very painful UTI. After 3 days, I felt no relief. The 4th day, I began to feel better but very fatigued. The 5th day I developed a rash on my scalp. I thought it was shingles. I woke up the 6th day with extreme itching and discomfort. The rash had spread to my shoulders and eventually down my chest and to my waistline. I went to my doctor who took me off Macrobid, switched me to Cipro for another round of antibiotics and prescribed a shampoo and topical ointment for the rash.  I wish I had changed antiobiotics that 4th day. This is miserable, red itchy welts everywhere, and low grade fever."


"Excellent."


"im using 20 g doxycycline it made my acne even worst i have huge pimples all over before it wasnt this bad but i heard it gets worst before it clears so ill wait"


"This medicine does work very well to clear up the infection.  I have taken it and had minimal side effects but other times like my most recent I had a lot of side effects, dizzy, insomnia, nerve pain.  I have to stop taking it which is really too bad because no other antibiotic gets rid of a sinus infection faster than this."


"Update! Tomorrow will be a month I've been taking Phentermine 30mg a day. The dry mouth went away. I am pretty much feeling normal. I started out at 178 and lost four pounds in the first week. However then it has slowed down to 1-2 a week and I'll lose it, gain it back, and lose it again. I eat something small for breakfast, usually skip lunch, and then eat supper.  As of tonight I am 166. So 12 pounds in one month! I'm only prescribed this for three months so I'm hoping if I keep losing 1-2 a week I can be at about 150.  I'm 5 3.  (My prepregnancy weight from my 6 year old is 112 and I don't intend to get to that again) second child is 5 months old and before her I weighed 160."


"Love this medication, but I gained 40 pounds in about 4 months! Stayed on it for years and made me feel normal. I, initially, got on it when it was first released and there were no other atypical antipsychotics on the market. When Seroquel was released, then my psychiatrist switched me to it because it showed weight gain, but not as much. He was correct."


"45 year old female with diagnosis of Chronic Constipation due to long term use of Med's, to include opioids for pain management. Also, diagnosed of Irritable bowel syndrome, around 8 years ago. When I'm taking this medicine, usually 2-3 times per day, I'm regular with a bowel movement of one to two times a day, depending on my diet and food intake (I eat very little on most days). Whenever I'm not taking this medication, I'm lucky if I'm able to go once over a 3-4 day time frame, even with laxatives, stool softeners, and my daily dose of lactulose syrup. I took Zelnorm about #8 years ago, until it went off the market, but Amitiza works much better, I asked my doctor to prescribe it after seeing a commercial for it, I've done well with it, only side-effect: flatulence. "


"I suffered from burning mouth syndrome (BMS), I was given prescription mouthwash. When that didn't work, the physician treated me for thrush. Nothing worked and I was miserable. At the time, the trials for Clonazepam (Klonopin) were under way but the results had not been published. I wrote to one of the people involved in the trial. They wrote me back and I gave the letter to my physician. He prescribed 1 MG of Clonazepam daily. I have taken this for many years now and have had no further bouts with BMS."


"I took citalopram for a about year for depression and anxiety. I felt a lot better so asked the doctor to take me off the medicine. She thought I was coming off it too soon and she was right. Two weeks later I had to go back to my doctor and she put me back on them. I am feeling better but I feel a little breathless and have muscle cramps so I will have to ask her about this. I think it's a side effect of citalopram but the medication makes me feel normal again."


"I've had nexplanon since February of 2015. I got it for birth control but more importantly to try to regulate my periods because they were so painful and heavy for me in the past. The side effects I've experienced is the irregular periods. It made my periods lighter and less painful but they lasted longer. I bled off and on for nearly two months so I went to the doctor and they put me on the pill to attempt to regulate my period. It worked for a little bit but now they're back to being irregular but they aren't as long as they were. I also experienced a pain at the insertion site and still do occasionally. Emotional side effects I've experienced would be mood swings and sometimes sadness. All of my symptoms are tolerable. I'm glad I got it."


"I use it for Trigeminal neuralgia and it is working great! I was first prescribed Tegretol and it worked for about a year but then the pain started to return. Doc said the Tegretol was being metabolized at a faster rate and she switched me to Trileptal. It worked in about 8 hours! And, as others have noted, you do struggle for words and have a bit of short-term memory impairment, but the pain is gone! Also, so is your libido! Tegretol was like taking Viagra, increased libido! But, it's still a better life without the pain."


"I had migraines that lasted up to nine days. My neurologist started me on 25mg Topamax and the frequency dropped off immediately.   I actually loved the way I felt on Topamax.  I had boundless energy, no appetite, and was always in a good mood.
After two years, I decided to stop taking it because my skin was breaking out and I think I felt a little too confident in myself.  I drove a little faster, said really odd things to people (no filter) and seemed to be turning into a show off about how skinny I was.  Not my best personality!
I stopped taking it and didn't gain any weight, but the headaches are back.  Once my dermatologist gets my skin cleared up, I might go back on it, but will be very mindful of the side effects."


"26yr old mom of four. Started Belviq a week and a half ago lost 13lbs. Only side effect headache first couple of days and dry mouth but it subsides. So glad I tried the 14 day trial. I will be purchasing after trial."


"I have found this medication works very good for chronic pain management, but I had bad side effects. I am not a doctor, but feel this class of medication does not play well with other CNS type medications.
Main side effects included weakness, anti-social behavior, Anxiousness, nervousness and fatigue.
7 day Patch 10 mcg."


"After reading The reviews here, I followed the advice of using lemon wedges and drinking a sip of water after each gulp of Suprep.  I was unable to drink it all in one go, but it was good to know that  keeping it in the refrigerator before hand and icing up water for sipping definitely helped. Experienced chills and overall it was a nasty evening of preparation. Definitely helped to go on a liquid diet low fiber  in the days leading up to the procedure."


"This stuff is so awful do not waste your time I feel like it made my cold sores bigger and more painful. I am so mad that  through all this pain and suffering waiting for this medicine to work"


"Was so hope it would help. If anything , my knee has steadily worsened."


"I was in a serious car accident and severely injured my leg. It was put back together by metal but I am in chronic pain. I currently take Vicodin ES and live a pain free life. This medication is extremly helpful in allowing me to lead a normal life."


"I used it in Bali and it took care of the diarrhea immediately.  Highly recommended."


"This has changed my life so much.  I have been on 5mg for about 10 days.  So much calmer and much less PMS which I'm in right now and feel fine.  I had extreme anxiety, wanted to flee work for some reason, could barely drive 2 blocks without high anxiety, crying all the time, creating panic attacks.  I'm  50 so I think it's perimenopause. That's what my OB said when she prescribed it.    I had low anxiety before but this was insane.  I'm so happy I feel better.  I did try Prozac before for 3 days  but that increase my anxiety and I had intrusive thoughts on it. Now Just a little tired on. 5mg Lexapro generic version at first but it seems to be getting better. And some dry mouth.  Overall I mentally feel relaxed and calmer!! ."


"I've been taking Lunesta (3mg) for 3 years now. The only side effect I've noticed is the bad taste, but that is minor. Sleep with this has been great, no bad dreams, no anxiety. Stress and irritation is way down now that I get a solid 7-8 hours/night. I've just started a weight loss program (4 months) and had no problem dropping the expected 1.5lbs/week that the method I'm using (calorie counting) is designed for."


"I'm 29 years old...(Mother of 2 boys) I lost my grandma (who raised me) on June 10th (My birthday). She was my everything. This is the first time I've experienced losing someone this close to me. I've had a very difficult time dealing with is, crying everyday....and it has affected me at work with having less patience for things...anxiety, etc. Which I already had anxiety at night before she ever passed away. I've been on Celexa for 5 days and I haven't cried since then. It has made me feel more calm....more understanding of things. My anxiety has subsided a great deal....the only down side is I'm having a little bit of insomnia which I know is a side effect. I'm optimistic about the future now. "


"Brilinta 90mg 2x daily with 81mg aspirin.  Dull aches all over body since starting this after a mild MI event, especially lower back (both sides).  Mild, tolerable headaches as well but they are less frequent than body aches.  Will be switching to Plavix, at least if the side effects are the same and the end result is the same, why am I buying Brilinta?  Just doesn't feel safe."


"I have been on dessicated Thyroid since I was diagnosed in 1999, recommended by my naturopath as superior to synthetic.  My problem has been that most doctors dose based on TSH which doesn't necessarily equate to thyroid function.  I was losing energy in the evening, falling asleep after meals and having a hard time losing some weight (not normal for me).  I found a practitioner to monitor dosing to my symptoms and I am much better.  I take 60mg in the morning and another 60mg in the afternoon and I have lots of energy and sleep when I want to.  I'm still taking less than many who regularly take thyroid meds, but I feel great."


"Have had a Diabetic Frozen Shoulder/Diabetic Complication - Adhesive Capulitus  for about 8 or so months. Have been on Norco 7%u2019s for a while, but Flexeril seems to work better for me right now , NOTHING helps Frozen Shoulder.

%u2026 FYI, do NOT do any Physical Therapy in the initial or
%u201Cpainful%u201D stage, I made that mistake and made it worse. My Orthopedic specialist even told me the same thing at our initial visit last week. Wish I would have seen him first. My GP put me in Physical Therapy and wondered why I got a lot worse. Admittedly, doctors have no idea how to treat a Frozen Shoulder, especially in Diabetics as the scar tissue is much more dense. They suggest surgery on most websites online.. on something they know nothing about? No thanks"


"I used Yaz for only three months as advised by my ob-gyn in order to cure my Polycystic ovaries. I haven't noticed occurrence of acne for three months. I can certainly recommend Yaz, however, it's still best to consult your ob-gyn about this pill."


"I've used other yeast infection medications before, but I wanted to try something new and used Monistat 3 so it would be quicker. Worst decision of my life. My vagina is on fire and feel like there are hundreds of tiny stabs in it. I'm only on day one, but I doubt I'll continue with this medication. Absolutely ridiculous."


"Didn't work for me. Loss of libido and taking naps twice a day. Personality felt 'flat'. Tried it for two weeks and switched to Wellbutrin generic. Better."


"I recently had testing for chronic urticaria with Hashimoto (with normal thyroid levels). And came out positive which means I have to deal with hives and swelling. At first I was only taking Benadryl but it only put me to sleep and wake up with the same symptom. So my specialist suggested I take one zyrtec a day, but I was still having symptoms two times a week (remind you I was having hives and swelling every single day from morning to night) so even though I was having symptoms 2 times a week it was a relief but I was looking for a complete relief. So then again my specialist suggested instead of taking one 10g Zyrtec pill I would move on to taking two 10g Zyrtec pills a day. And thankfully it has changed my life! I Don't get drowsy!"


"This is an excellent pain medication as well as an anti inflammatory. I take 500 mg twice a day and had no adverse side effects."


"I have only been taking Savella in HALF of LOWEST DOSE for a week and am showing significant pain improvement. You do NOT have to always take the full dose-everyone is different. Titrate slowly and see what works for you. Also I am hypersensitive to all medicines and vitamins and have only noticed mild side effects with this. Take with food. I also use Corvalen D Ribose powder twice a day to help with the muscle aches and spasms and magnesium spray for relief from restless legs. Good luck."


"I felt like this drug worked better than vicodin, demerol and percocet. I received Nubain in the ER after a gall bladder attack. Immediate relief and no side effects from the worst pain I've ever experienced."


"I have been taking Lexapro for approx. three months, 10 mg/day. It has helped a great deal to reduce my anxiety and depression. I still have good days and not so good, but rarely fall back to where I was (sounds like many people on this have experience the same). I agree it has some side effects, but when you consider the benefit, its well worth it."


"I'm a 27 year old female. Took Celexa for anxiety that wouldn't let me leave the house and caused my face to flush with any social interaction, also for depression that debilitated me to the point of almost losing everything.  Celexa was a miracle drug for me.  I used it for approximately 2 years. I loved it until the night sweats (Drenches) started. I woke up 3-4 times a night completely drenched with sweat.  My knee's would even sweat.  Switched to Zoloft, am now depressed and anxious again, and plan to go back to Celexa and be dehydrated. It's worth it."


"I have taken Diovan for approximately 3 years with good success.  I have had no noticeable side effects and it maintains my blood pressure around 125/82."


"I have used MANY preventative and treatment therapy; migraines are in-excess of 15 days a month, up to >51 days straight.

Please note: Medication will not react the same way for each person that takes it.  For me, the Botox lessens the degree of the migraine, and with the normal level of my migraines averaging 6 - 8, then 3 - 5 on an average day is actually tolerable.  However, I have heard from other people that it lessens the "frequency" of their migraines."


"I'll be 100% real. Zubsolv is terrible. They claim that Zubs and subs are the same strength, however not true. When coming off/withdrawing SWIM can usually take a half to 3/4 8mg strip of subs (possibly a full strip if SWIM relapse is bad enough) and then they will feel fine. However they recently tried ZUBSOLV with the directions of only needing to take one ever so and so hours. After waiting the correct amount of time SWIM took the Zubsolv as instructed and soon after the withdraws came. After waiting an hour and a half the withdrawals had emerged with full on sweats, vomiting, etcetera so they took a second one and after about another hour the vomiting had stopped yet cold sweats and shaking were still present it wasn't until after a 3rd Zub was taking that my friend was even able to take a deep breath and finally sit up straight and not have to be in the restroom. And yet still had sleepless nights, finally went back to subs and after a half of one had no complaints. So if your thinking about switching don't. The taste may be better but wow who cares what it tastes like, it's about being able to function without withdrawals and without cravings. So all in all don't waste your time, your health, your money, and your sanity on ZUBSOLV."


"5'6" white female with very sedentary career and lifestyle.  Fighting weight issues, in hindsight,  not since high school and college (because I was at ideal weight) but since my first child in 1993 and fighting issues with edema in my left leg after the birth (c section) of my 2nd child in 1998.  I decided that as I, at my heaviest at 265 really need to lose weight. I began my saxenda journey with my youngest daughter (who also  struggles with weight) on May 22 I lost 20 pounds the first month and currently at 30 pounds lost. I have absolutely no side affects. Unfortunately my daughter has not been so lucky - she has had severe nausea but has been able to lose 18 pounds; as a college student her schedule of taking it has been inconsistently"


"Imitrex does the trick of getting rid of my migraine every time, but the side effects are a little rough.  I feel as though my neck and chest are tightening and achy, but if I go to sleep about 10 minutes after taking Imitrex. I miss the side effects happening to me, and just wake up feeling better."


"Had this in a "headache cocktail"  last night when I went into ER for an intense migraine with garbled speech.  NEVER again.  I have never appreciated a headache more because by comparison it was so much better than the side effects of Compazine. It made me a crazy person in full blown panic attack mode.  I was trying to pull out the IV and run away.  I felt doom and dread and mental anguish.  I was yelling and just trying to figure out a way to kill myself (literally) if the mental pain and confusion didn't stop soon. Luckily the terror didn't last long because three nurses came in and gave me more benedryl which counteracted or at least knocked me out. I am a bit traumatized by the experience but feel alot better today."


"Love this stuff!! I have been using it for a month and my skin is less oily and definitely starting to look clear. I am still in the purging phase. Keep sticking it out though. I still get breakouts during that time of the month, but they are not too bad. I occasionally get cycstic acne, I believe I only get them when I accidentally have gluten. Differin helps the breakouts for sure!"


"I have unexplained pelvic inflammation/interstitial cystitis. In fact all the women in my immediate family do. We are convinced its due to undiagnosed auto immune disease.

Taking the Elmiron was a somewhat challenging couple of months (dizzy, loss of appetite) but after 5 months it was all worth it! Seriously changed my life, 90% urgency, burning, constant cramps & pains, muscle spasms gone !"


"Had operation involving the breaking of femur, fibula and tibia in both legs and felt no pain afterwards."
