"Hey ladies im sp happy to learn im not alone. I have had many yeast infections in the past and ive used the ovules the creams and the tablets you insert and tablets you take orally. I have never experienced the burning itching feeling i am feeling right now with my day 1 prefilled cream. I just want to go wash it all out of me it hurts so bad. I keep lying here in bed hoping it will pass like everyone said. Thanks ladies for sharing at least i know im not having some weird reaction to the meds."


"This medication helps me sleep very soundly but I usually wake feeling quite groggy and often feeling a bit depressed.  "


"I just had my 3rd shot and I'm very happy with it. Before I got on the shot i had tried several different pills. They all made me have mood swings and depression, and I felt tired all the time. My doctor talked me into trying the depo shot and it has been amazing. I feel full of energy and I haven't had any mood swings and best thing is I haven't had a period since!!!! The only side effect that I don't like is the weight gain. I have been working out like crazy to prevent the weight gain, which I haven't gained any weight but I can't loose any. So basically I'm working out just to stay the same. This sucks but if this is the worst of the side effects for me then I can deal with that."


"I absolutely LOVE Aczone. I'm only 12, almost 13, but I started getting somewhat severe acne after I turned 11. The first thing I tried was Proactiv, which didn't work, then I tried Neutrogena, which also didn't work, and I have also used about 6 other tropical treatments that barely worked. In January 2012, I finally went to a dermatologist for help, and he had me try Epiduo with some acne antibiotic, and it worked pretty well for two months, but then I started getting bad breakouts again. When I went back to the dermatologist, he said I may have a different type of bacteria in my acne, so he said Aczone may be better for me, and a different antibiotic. I've been using Aczone and the antibiotic for almost a month, and my face is almost clear!"


"I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis last year, not so bad if you're 75 but I'm 26.  I've had symptoms of this since about 14 or 15.  After 10  years my doctor finally believed me and accepted the fact that I was in real pain (this is finally after 2 well known orthopedic surgeons discussed their diagnoses with him).  He gave me Norco 7.5's, which didn't do much but introduce my liver to a lot of acetaminophen.  He then added fentanyl 50mcg/hr patch 1 every 72 hrs."


"I've been on Aviane for a few weeks now and it's done me pretty good. My chest size increased after the first week and a half but no other weight was added. I have noticed I've been excessively moody in the days leading up to my period but that could also just be stress too. Other than that it's been good to me and I plan to keep it around as long as needed."


"Had an accident in 2004. Had disc replacement in neck, and rotator tear left arm. Been on every medicine that's out there and nothing works. Until now. It's been a blessing to not hurt all day and move around without the pain all day."


"Since I started therapy a year ago my bipolar 1 disorder has evened out, but I sometimes have manic, depressed, or both episodes. Also it has caused disturbances in my speech, and uncontrolled movements in my face, arms and legs. The benefits outweigh the risks though and I am satisfied with the way it has helped stabilize my moods."


"First off everybody will not experience the same side effects from using Chantix.

As for me I'm glad I decided to take it. I noticed the medication started working about day 8. Cigarettes made me slightly nauseated. They slowly became less satisfying and desirable. The urges by then to smoke were minimal and withdrawals were none from the start. I did have some nausea in the beginning after taking the pill that went away after a few minutes. Other than that no noticeable side effects. I'm just now starting week 4. The urge to smoke now is completely gone. I don't feel like I ever want to smoke again."


"I have chronic autoimmune hepatitis and have been taking Imuran for four years. It has prevented further flare ups (which I have taken as much as a year to recover from) it enables me to live my life feeling well with mild side effects (some nausea)."


"My ailment wasn't actually bronchitis, but tracheal irritation - it wasn't in my lungs. I started taking it after being exhausted from coughing. I had diarrhea after the first day, because I took the first dose too late after breakfast. Since then, I took it in the middle of breakfast and haven't had any GI symptoms since. My cough and chest showed an almost immediate improvement! What a difference! I have also been limiting my sugar intake (to prevent a yeast infection), eating yogurt every day and taking acidophilus to prevent further bowel irritation. So far so good. I have 4 days left. I noticed a bitter taste in my mouth about 2 days ago. I felt reassured after reading some of the comments here that it is a side effect."


"I have had depression since I was a child but I didn't start getting help for it until I was 19. I have tried Prozac and Celexa which did nothing for me and then my doctor asked me if I have ever heard of a medicine called Seroquel XR. I started out on 50mg and then worked my way up to 300mg. The only side effects for me were weight gain and drowsiness but the drowsiness went away after a couple of months of using this medicine. Overall I really like this medicine. It has helped me tremendously!"


"I've been on it for 7 months now. The only bad thing is depending on your body type you'll gain a lot of weight. I gained 20 pounds,yet it definitely filled in my small body,I don't have a period any more but I always look and feel pregnant. But it very effective as a birth control. I highly recommend it and its easy to keep up with."


"This pill HAS worked for me very well very satisfied ! Been on it for 8 months controlled acne ( on my back) periods are normal. Cramping hmmm they hurt a lot worse though only that"


"I've been battling ptsd since a kid. I tried celexa for two months and it didn't do anything so I quit taking it, 6 years later I went to a different Dr who prescribed me Zoloft. Started with 50mg for two months and bumped up to 100mg. It does take a few to get use to but the side effects go away with a week or two. This drug it's not drowsy, and actually works. I'm talking more, coming out of my shell. Laughing. Doing stuff again. All I can say give it a chance I say two months, off not working talk to Dr and try something else..I have tried something else...and this is working great so far. The heavy weight that held mange captive in my depression was lifted within the first two weeks. Two thumbs up so far. And affordable, I get generic"


"Great medication for narcolepsy. I would recommend it to anyone.

No side effects, and most importantly, I have no problem falling asleep at night when I should be sleeping."


"I started my treatment 11weeks+2 Day's ago, now I've only 5 days to go  and my experience of the treatment using epclusa tablets (1 daily) has been fine, Now don't get me wrong I've suffered diarrhoea and tiredness but only had a few days of it, I think that the price of epclusa treatment is surprisingly excessive at 25 thousand pound for only 28 tablets"


"I am 24 with no children. On November 21, 2014 I had my Paragard removed and Nexplanon inserted the same day. The insertion wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and healed pretty quickly, about 1 week. I missed my first period and then they went back to normal, gradually getting shorter and lighter. My last period was 3 weeks long and now I am 1 week and 1 day late for my next. My symptoms didn't show up until recently: violent mood swings, headaches, nausea, dizziness, backache, acne on face & body. I have gained 10lbs. even though my diet and exercise haven't changed at all. I like it ok enough, but there is a good chance I'll have it removed before 3 years."


"I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and Depression after some very traumatic events. I was first put on Prozac and two months in I knew it wasn't for me. Flatline and impossible to have an orgasm. Next was Remeron which made me so exhausted but helped somewhat with anxiety before bed. My new pdoc suggested Wellbutrin.  I did research and was afraid to take it. It sat in my drawer for three months. Things got so bad, I would wake up in dread, crying, worried nonstop, so I started it. 150XL in morning for two weeks. I was completely surprised that I had no side effects and was feeling it almost from day one. It was as if the worry disappeared, replaced by a feeling that everything is going to work out. Up to 300 now, great results."


"I took it for 4  months and didn't lose any weight. I was prescribed it due to severe cravings.  It didn't take the cravings away. I feel it didn't work due to the fact that I was already on a high dose of Wellbutrin.  I had horrible constipation with it and was taking up to 500mg of colace as well as a laxative, tons of water and fruits and veggies. Nothing helped.  I got lucky and my insurance covered it due to comorbidities, but it would have been around $200 a month if it didn't."


"I tend to get really bad cold sores when I get sick, sun burned or chew my lips too much. After battling the flu a big sucker popped up, covering almost half of my entire bottom lip. It came on a Thursday and was completely gone by that Sunday. The only drawback is I still got the cluster of blisters - it's almost as Denavir draws out the virus and kills it fast. Fastest cold sore relief I have ever used!"


"I have been on this medicine for almost 2 months.
On the plus side it lowered my blood pressure effectively.  My readings are excellent!
Now the minuses.  I always feel lightheaded and dizzy.  My mouth feels dry and I keep feeling like I have to clear my throat.  Everyday around 2:45 I become extremely tired and nod off.  It is hard to fight through this. I constantly feel queasy.  5 days ago around the same time I started feeling extremely nauseous and began to sweat heavily.  When I stood up to go to the bathroom I felt dizzy to the point I strongly thought I was going to pass out.  My vision also became blurry.  I sat on the floor, then laid down.  Within 1 minute the feelings subsided.  I think this is the medicine doing this."


"Binds you up well, poo real nice and solid after, good to handle the squirts"


"I tried this medication on 3 separate occasions, because I had heard so many good things about it, but every time it made my depression much, much worse. Made me feel incredibly irritable, all the time, to the point of fixating on ways to permanently make the irritation stop. Couldn't sleep or feel any pleasure what so ever. Just constant irritation. The effects were instant and I tried enduring them for 2 weeks, but nothing changed. I warn anyone who's getting similar symptoms from it to just stop taking it immediately. Potentially very dangerous."


"I definitely believe that the patch works and I have quit smoking with it. The only problem I'm having is where my patch goes on I've received some blisters after use. I do not think this is normal."


"I had this put in Feb 2016 after my 8 week postpartum appointment with my OBGYN. It didn't really hurt when inserted but I did have bruising and soreness for a few days after. I didn't bleed for about 2 weeks and then it came down. I bled from Feb 2016- April 2016 which was a headache because I was spending more money than I wanted to on pads! I was excited when I stopped bleeding with no cramping from April until now, August 2016. I've been experiencing some spotting, cramping and a little moody lately.Hopefully that will stop soon. My experience has been fine so far for 6 months. I don't plan on keeping this in the full 3 years just because it's a little unnatural for me."


"I took this as directed on the first day of my period, and my normal cycle I have three days of light bleeding, and a day, maybe two of heavy bleeding with one day of cramping, then a few more days of light bleeding. With these pills, I could not even finish one month because I have been bleeding for over two weeks. I've had cramps for three days straight and a fever. 24 hours after stopping the pills I am back to normal. I used to take the Genesis FE years ago and never had issues. It is not worth a lighter period to have issues like I did."

"For sure this pill does what it's supposed to do. But after taking this I had breakouts on my chin area. Also I was late for my period."


"Was given while a patient at hospital. Then by presciption for home, helped pain very well. No side effects."


"Too soon to tell if it is lowering cholesterol, but did want to mention it is very easy to take, but can cause abdominal bloating. I had such gas pains, didn't know how to get comfortable. Doctor suggested Miralax which did the trick with the bloating."


"I have been on many different birth control methods for years now. None of then have worked for me. But when my doctor prescribed me Levora I was like "hmm, but I'm not a pill popper. Okay I will try this." Levora is the best thing that has ever happened to be. I now get my period for 3 days versus 7 days! I love this pill and I get no side effects."


"This is an ABSOULUTE LIFE SAVER if you have bad anxiety or having a panic attack. Would be lost without it"


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"I finally found something that worked for me- before I was having difficulty finding the right dose- now that they no longer make it, I am have a difficult time taking the generic due to the noticeable side effects- but the alternatives do not work either."


"I had high pressure in eye after cataract surgery. This lowered the pressure in two days.  Made me spacey and I slept a lot but it worked!"


"Tramadol is great for getting rid of the pain, which I've had for 20 months with a broken leg. I've stopped taking it now and I can't sleep. Restless body all night."


"A month ago, I was placed on Metformin ER 500 mg twice a day after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (HbA1C of 7.9). I, like so many on this forum, experienced violent diarrhea for the first 7 to 10 days, which then suddenly ceased. For the first time in my life, I have since experienced life as someone without a weight problem. I no longer think about food ruminatively, have to remind myself to eat, and I stop eating when full (eating smaller portions than previously). I have not had my blood glucose re-tested yet so can not speak to the effectiveness of  Metformin for glucose control, but I expect much improvement, even at this sub clinical dose. I have been losing 2 to 3 lbs per week without much effort. It has been life changing."


"This actually works great for me. However, I like to give myself breaks and will either skip it some days or only take half my dose. I sleep just fine, have a good appetite and have never slept better. My only complaint is that it makes my urine smell very strong- like a port-a-potty at a music festival. At first I thought it was a urinary infection, but it's not. It's just a side-effect. So I drink tons of water, but it's still an extremely potent aroma. I feel like I'm at Lollapalooza 1993 again, the portable toilet part of it anyway, not the fun parts. Anyway, good luck out there. And drink water. LOTS of water. Cheers!"


"I had botox injections for migraines almost a month ago and am still wearing a neck brace. For the first seven days, I had excruciating head pain, migraines, and neck pain. I felt like my neck was on fire. I called my doc office, Michigan Head Pain & Neurological Institute (MHNI), and was told that is a common side effect and should fade after 5-10 days. The pain was unbearable. My physical therapist is the one who told me my neck muscles are not contracting which is causing all the other smaller muscles to be strained from trying to support my head. It's absolutely terrible. After almost a month and still no relief. Never again! Still wearing a neck brace daily. MHNI says its a rare but possible side effect. Have to wait for it to wear off"


"Worked well."


"I started taking Saxenda on July 1, 2015.  I am down 14.5 pounds.  Occasional nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and tiredness.  Does not affect everyday activities.   Appetite down.  Overall feeling good. Dosing - I started at .6 and am now up to 1.2.  Would like to lose another 20 pounds."


"Works on blood pressure top number rating, but I gained water weight and swelling. May be allergic."


"garbage."


"Subtle side effects which should be noted. This drug tends to dehydrate the body and lead to constipation, muscle and joint pain. It also contributes to leaching the body of critical electrolytes and in the event of accidental overdose may effect concentration to the point of generating unsafe judgements while driving. If a doctor chooses to prescribe this drug at the very least electrolytes must be checked frequently."


"After a ten year plus hard core opiate addiction I was able to quit last year ONLY because of the clonidine. As many say, it's not a magic pill but it made the w/d symptoms actually bearable."


"Two pills almost killed me.  Left me bedridden for a week.  I couldn't even lift my arm to call 911.

After 5 days, managed to call my doctor.  They dismissed my symptoms.

I hadn't drank or urinated for days.  When I finally did, my pee was Brown (this stuff destroyed your muscles).

I will NEVER take another statin as long as I live."


"Got my cholesterol under control and no adverse side effects.  Cost is a bit high, but, insurance pays about 66%."


"I've used this ointment for years for posion ivy and it works great. I'm always getting poison ivy (I live in the middle of the woods) but I know I've got this medicine at home, so I'm not ultra paranoid about it. Better then anything else I've tried."


"This pill works very well. Will recommend and definitely use again."


"I just want to share this because I didn't see it on any other post. I've been using Drysol for over two weeks now on my forehead and scalp (yeah, weird place to sweat, I know) and it has been awesome. Before this I would always get salty sweat into my eyes while playing sports or dancing... that time has gone! Thanks Drysol!"


"I have had Nexplanon for a year this coming May. I was on my period for 6 months straight and then it disappeared completely! This has given me a great deal of appetite changes. For weeks at a time I will either be extremely nauseous and not hungry at all, or very hungry all the time. Has also caused weight gain, & mood swings."


"Gabapentin has severely affected my edema"


"So far this drug is great. My bladder does not squeeze me into the bathroom anymore."


"Very good"


"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 have been on Adipex-P for 3 months and lost 30 pounds. It is great .The only side effect I have had is dry mouth . Hope to lose another 30 pounds before my doctor says I have to come off it . Weighed 192lbs before I went on it and now weigh 160lbs. Got another 30lbs to go before I am happy."


"I have been using this medication for over a month. I find the side effect of nausea to be very minimal and was gone it about 10 days. My mood is positive and stable. However, I find my focus and concentration to be markedly improved. This medication does what it claims to do. Much better than the others and lower side effects."


"So I had skyla inserted this morning and wanted to share my experience. I've read so many more horror stories about this birth control than positive things and yes insertion was painful but not nearly as awful as people make it seem. My Doctor was awesome and walked through every step with me and it was about 3 cramps (one slight, medium, and severe cramp) and it was over in less than a minute. Yes I got dizzy which is common but they gave me juice and had me wait about 5 minutes and I was able to drive myself home just fine. Cramping afterwards is painful but it has gotten better and so far this is the best birth control I have tried."


"Got a sample from my doctor and it works great."


"I have multiples issues: trigeminal nerve pain in my face/head, and panic attacks closely related to this horrible condition that have led to a lot of very unfortunate circumstances. I have been on it before (20 years ago). I avoided since it because it's a benzo, but if I don't get treated successfully, I believe, as does my therapist, my prognosis is poor. I encourage all to try all other pathways; only if they fail should you consider klonopin. Unrelenting anxiety and panic attacks are not acceptable in my circumstances."


"Macrobid caused me to get really sick and did NOT clear up a urinary tract infection.  I will not take this medicine again as it was not right for me."


"I've had muscle spasms in my back for 10+ yrs tried skelaxin, robaxin, flexeral, and norflex and they all barely helped but the soma helped tremendously!!!"


"I can't say it's bad. I can Ace through an assignment on my dosage like an Ariel Atom. BUT there are some things I did experience, as I was taking it and in High School I noticed I didn't care to hang out with anyone. There was times when I did but I was terrified. The days I'd forget my dose I was buzzing with charisma. I'd have to say out of all these the creativity it sucks out of you scares me because I'm a musician. But the worst is the withdrawal effects, they hit you fast in the morning even before you take your dose( Headaches, can't wake up) and irritability. It gets the job done but there are too many side-effects."


"worked extremely well for back pain and arthritis. at least it took most of the pain away and let me sleep at night. not recommended while driving a car or operate a machine."


"As others have stated the packaging is awful.  Pills don't stay on the applicator, or fall out after being inserted.  Had to switch from Vagifem to Yuvafem in Jan because of insurance cost.  Going to be 65 in Nov so I want to make sure I'll be able to afford Vagifem.  On the generic, I've had a strange discharge I never had before, vaginal tearing during intercourse and more urgency.  Thank you to all who have shared their experiences.  I don't feel alone in this.  Our doctors need to know there is a huge difference between the generic and original brand (Vagifem)."


"Day 4 of taking it and throat still hurts and has white spots. The strep isn't going away! I have a sad insurance and am too worried that I'm going to have to spend another hundred bucks for a different antibiotic!"


"I started taking this pill last week. I have 1 full day an a morning pill left. It's made me bleed off and on. The taste is nasty I agree with that. But what I've had help me is take a drink an tilt ur head back with drink still in mouth and put it in back of my throat and then swallow it. The taste is still there some what. But the Nurse in me knows it's nothing -  a little bit of salt on the palm of my hand and it takes that nasty taste away Thank goodness. Hoping an praying it works and the BV stays away. Oh I also got the lower back pain, headache an metallic taste. But if it takes care of the deal I can handle those few things."


"I don't know why people are leaving such bad reviews about this new drug, maybe they're are pissed at the world and expect a miracle out of it. I honestly took 10my yesterday afternoon and woke up HAPPY not like super excited but NORMAL like it was a gonna be a good day. And that is rare for me its mud day after my second dose and I feel like going out to do things like errands and meet my wife for lunch and getting g back at the gym so far I haven't had any sides. I have no idea what these people are talking about giving it a bad rap. Maybe they're batting for another company or something. Remember some people here are at the edge like I was so don't burn their dreams. Try it give it a shot . Everyone is different in my case it worked."


"I was having trouble keeping my blood glucose below 120-140. Now I wake up with a level between 90-100. Usually around 100-110 before meals. This medicine along with adhering to a proper diet I have achieved a satisfactory glucose level. It is a challenge to eat properly"


"I had some injuries and pain to deal with but after a bad car accident my life changed, pain never let me sleep, smile or live a normal life and in past 5 years I almost tried every kind of pain killer that didn't do much but finally my Dr recommended to try Opana. I have been on it for past 7 months and never had to experience the pain since I started taking these 2 x 30mg a day and I can live a normal pain free life."


"I went to my internal medicine doctor on June 10. Told her about my right shoulder hurting - she gave me Flexeril and naproxen together - they work for my condition: rotator cuff. I've taken Flexeril in the past for muscle spasms. The only side effect with it is dry mouth.  I don't have any side effects with naproxen."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Really works, saved my job."


"Zyprexa was prescribed to me in my early 20s after a manic episode.  I took it for a year and was a complete zombie. I remember noting from that period apart from sleeping all day and raiding the cupboard at night. I gained 30% of my body weight or 6Olbs and it took me two years to lose it. "


"I'm 18 years old and could never keep up with the pill so I went looking for other birth controls. After lots of consideration I decided to go with the Skyla and I can say it's been the best decision I've ever made. I've had it for 14 months now and I'm 80% sure my periods have stopped. I will admit the insertion was the worse pain I've ever felt! I've read a lot of reviews saying girls reacted badly with daily bleeding, major PMS, and weight gain but I never had any of that. I barely get cramps. I will say follow Drs orders and check your strings after every period or at least once a month it'll settle your nerves. Don't feed into IUD horror stories, you'll just psych yourself out. It's amazing not having to take a daily contraceptive!!!"


"Good but soreness in Achilles tendon"


"My Boyfriend and I had unprotected sex around the beginning of June, I was super scared and nervous because the condom broke and nothing like this ever happened before. The next day within 24 hours I took Plan B One Step, which cost around $50, and I was worried when my period would come. It came on the exact time it was suppose to.It worked ! I had no side effects when I took the pill, just drink a lot of water."


"I had Kyleena inserted the first week of January and bled for a solid two months after. I experienced severe cramps for 2-3 weeks that seemed worse than any cramp I've had before my 6 years on a pill contraceptive. My acne was out of control for the first 4-5 weeks, but went away. I still spot dark blood and small clots every now and then. Overall, I think it's great because it does it's job! The beginning was tough..."


"I used miconazole 7 to treat a vaginal yeast infection. The medication treated the symptoms great, by day 2 the burning and itching had almost ceased so I continued treatment. On the fourth day I started bleeding heavy enough to wear a pad."


"I have tried taking it at night and in the morning on an empty stomach was very hopeful after reading reviews....no such luck Nothing happened it was like i wasn't taking anything maybe I should keep taking it as after a week I quit.  I wish they would bring Zelnorm back it was perfect worked like a dream! Now trying Amitiza still nothing...resorting back to Miralax (which gives me gas) and Milk of Magnesia sometimes along with Ducolax and you have to stay home.  Very frustrated"


"Taking Vvyanse for treatment resistant depression, started to notice half life extending from 11 hours to 15 hours. Very unusual. The only other med I've taken that has this half life is modavigil, does anyone have similar experiences"


"this drug didnt do shit to me. it actually made me feeling worse. my doctor doesnt want to take me off it. ive been taking it for 3 weeks for anxiety and hasnt done anything. plus i have put on 7 kilos. my dosage is 7.5 mg."


"I have tried increasingly higher doses of Lyrica to suppress fibromyalgia flare ups with okay results for two years. Cymbalta became available and it has drastically reduced the constant pain, weakness and fatigue I suffer. Finally, something that works for my fibromyalgia."


"Horrible migraine hours following treatment. Started out like someone hit me in back of the head with a baseball bat. Then the horrible nonstop headache set in. Ended up at ER the first day because nothing stopped pain. Woke up the next day with excruciating headache. Worse than any of my terrible daily migraines. The neurologist did not call back. Long story short. Went to ER 2x in 5 days. Neurologist was completely unhelpful and never spoke with me. After 6th day I barely made it thru work. There is severe cramping in neck and in between shoulders. Where the muscles were paralyzed the other muscles in the area are over compensating for the "Botoxed" areas. I WILL NEVER again do Botox. It made a bad situation completely unbearable"


"Zelnorm was the first medicine in my life to work effectively since I was a teenager (I'm 68 now).  It was so disappointing when it was pulled off the market.  Nothing has helped me since."


"Lexapro is an absolutely fantastic medication for anxiety. I went on it from 2014-2015 and had life-changing results, but I ended up going off because I gained 10-15 lbs. I ended up switching to Prozac, which is good for anxiety too but it is not the same. Lexapro brought me somewhat of a euphoria. I felt liberated. It feels more "pure" than Prozac. Fast forward to 2017, I have decided to try Lexapro again."


"I took generic doxazosin for about 1 month. It was somewhat effective, but really made me tired. I started at 4 mg then went to 6mg for better efficiency, but just couldn't function well. So I switched to Tamsulosin. These are 0.4 mg capsules (instead of tablets like the doxazosin), so I can't really up it to 0.6 mg easily. I am supplementing this medication with saw palmetto, stinging nettles, pumpkin seed, pygeum bark, and Korean ginseng (combined in a single pill), plus 2000 mg of flaxseed oil. This is definitely much better than nothing, I don't get near as tired as I did on doxazosin, plus, I no longer have the need for an occasional Viagra."


"Not a fan. Went to urgent care for a particularly painful UTI and was prescribed cipro and immediately took the first dose. The plus side is it started working almost immediately. 24 hours later and I'm about 90% better already. However after taking the second pill I developed some slight nausea and then several hours later noticed some muscle pain in my calves and behind my knees and it has now spread to my shoulders and wrists. After reading that cipro can cause serious and permanent damage I quit using it immediately and asked to be switched to a different antibiotic. Not worth it!"


"After bleeding for almost 8 weeks half the time very heavy with many clots and the other half lighter/less clots Lysteda has helped me. I am 52 and have had two endometrial biopsies and sonohistograms. Results:thick uterine lining, and a small fibroid. After being told the only treatment was a D&C I wanted to try medication as a first line of treatment keeping surgery as the last resort. I was told to take 2 tablets three times a day. By the second dose my flow was much lighter. I am also very anemic now cause I waited too long to pursue the medication. Ladies, try it, don't wait till you're terribly anemic like me.  I also have IBS and was afraid of taking it but so far so good."


"I have only taken it for less then a week but I can see some change. One - my leg can rest. Two - I feel more active but more easily tried too."


"I have taken this medication for a few years now. It has definitely helped with the length  of my period.  It went from 7 days to 3 days.  However I still had the pms symptoms like nausea and pain.  I noticed that I am continually  gaining weight despite exercise.  But to be fair I am getting older as well.  So that would be my worse side effect so far."


"I'm a 24 year old male. Panic disorder and severe anxiety runs in my family. It is hereditary. I seen a Dr at the age of 16 and started on Xanax 0.5mg and Xanax worked till I was 19. My friend gave me a klonopin 1mg tablet during a panic attack while I was with him and had no Xanax with me. I like how klonopin worked compared to Xanax, seen my Dr a week later and at the time was on Xanax XR 2mg 2 tablets twice daily. I asked to switch Klonopin and he put me on Klonopin 2mg 1 tablet taken 5 times daily and it's what I take currently now and keeps the anxiety away."


"I have been on Victoza for a month. I have had zero side effects. It has decreased my appetite, and it's easier for me to eat homemade salads made of spinach and chicken breast, then going to Taco Bell.  Immediately, I began to notice weight loss around my belly and waist area. Even my husband commented "Whoa baby, you've lost weight!" I started out at .6 but I was so excited that I immediately lost a few pounds, I was eager for more results. After 1.5 weeks, I upped the dosage to 1.2, and one week later, upped it to 1.8. My insurance covers it very well (3 pen pack for $40). I had my one month check-up today, and I am down 12 pounds (42 yrs old, 5'2; went from 174 lbs to 162). I hope the weight loss remains consistent. Goal: 130 lbs."


"I'm 24 and suffer from anorexia and I'm in treatment now and my doctor put me on Androderm. It changed my life I went to other doctors and they just prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. When I got into treatment I found out my level was at 201 and was supposed to be between 800 and 900. I got my appetite back, less fatigue, and all around feel awesome!"


"I've been using this product for almost 3 months. I'm still having the side effects of starting this new method. But I have lost 5 pounds since I started using Ortho Evra. My only problem is. I CAN'T tan. My doctor did not tell me I wasn't supposed to get a tan Well when I got out. I had the worst mood swings ever. Also I wake up every hour of the night throwing up from 3-9 in the morning. It's absolutely horrible because vomiting is one of my main fears. Other than that I do love this product and I am disappointed that I have to switch to Ortho Tri-Cyclen because tanning is more important to me right now."


"Cymbalta worked for me for years and then, all of a sudden, just stopped working. This is day 8 of Brintellix. Suicidal ideation went down significantly but side effects are awful. I'm hungry all the time and thinking about food the minute I finish eating. Also, I haven't read this as a side effect before, but I believe I'm having some sort of allergic reaction as my limbs won't stop itching. I even took Benadryl for a couple of nights but without much relief. Is anyone else experiencing a similar side effect."


"My Pain Specialist prescribed this after multiple surgeries and diagnosis. I have the 4 mg table , but take 1 mg (the pills are scored into 1/4's) or more if needed. The 1 mg  at bedtime helps to relax your muscles and you don't wait up exhausted. I have tried Soma, Flexeril, and Skelaxin the the past and Tizanidine works the best!"


"I’ve been on this birth control for about 5-6 months. I switched from Loestrin24 due to mood swings. One thing I hate about this pill compared to Loestrin 24 is that this pill has 7 placebo pills, and Loestrin 24 only had 3 placebos. I had bad side effects as soon as I started taking the pill, but I decided to stick with it in hopes that my body would adjust and things would get better. I am now ending month 5 on this pill and things have only gotten worse. My periods are now 2 and 1/2 weeks long. I start bleeding when I start week 3 of the pack, bleed through that week, the placebo week, and a few days on my new pack. Also I have terrible mood swings, insomnia, no sex drive. Only positive, no acne. I am 21, 5’9”, and 120 lbs for reference"


"I had the implant inserted in late August of 2016 due to heavy periods( I was bleeding two times a month for 5-7 days at a time). Insertion was not painful and I did not bruise. I had one light period right after insertion and then no pain or bleeding for a YEAR. Very recently within the last 3 months I have begun bleeding again, heavily twice a month. I am always tired and I hardly ever want to get out of my bed. I am always hungry no matter how much I have eaten I am never full. Due to the bleeding I was put a low type of birth control pill which has made this process EVEN WORSE!! I am even more emotional and I am starting to gain more and more weight. I have terrible cravings and feel terrible about myself. Having the implant removed."


"Initial injection hurt slightly, was more than I expected, not like a flu shot.   However, arm only slightly sore next morning and by end of day no issue at all.

Must admit I’ve had allergy shots in the past that were much worse than this, so maybe I was conditioned.

If it truly prevents or lessen the serious diseases they discuss, then it’s definitely worth any minor inconvenience of the injection.  Recommend."


"After one dose of mucinex, I experienced muscle cramps of my legs all night long,, the worst cramps of lower extremities I have ever had.."


"Today I am on 100mg of Elavil and it is working quite well.  Best of all, Elavil has the added bonus of curbing my neuropathy which had forced me to be on fentanyl for over 4 years.  Been about eight years now and it is still doing a great job.  I have been on just about every drug they have for panic and other than Prozac this is one of the only drugs that has worked or worked without nasty side effects.  paxil worked but TOTALLY wiped out my sex drive and ability to perform.  Zoloft did nothing at all good or bad.  Alcohol was good at knocking down the panic attacks but the bad there was the attacks became more frequent.  Imipramine only masked the symptoms causing some nasty muscle tension that lead to migraines."


"For years I have been a prisoner of rescue inhailers and nebulizers. This along with absacor as a daily inhaler were not controlling my problems. Over 10 years ago my doctor put me on advair 100/50. I now have not use my rescue inhaler or any other product other than the rescue inhaler in the airport in Rome a couple of years ago as it is no where close to being smoke free."


"I've been in pain for three days, and cannot get an appt. till next week so I went all out and bought cranberry juice, tablets, and this medicine. I felt no differently after taking it. And not even three hours later. I still had the pain and urgency. I woke up this morning, hoping it would have worked by now, to find my lower parts completely covered in a rash and it itched HORRIBLY. Apparently I'm allergic to the dyes or something. How could I have known? Be very careful before taking this product and make sure you are absolutely not allergic to anything on the list, it didn't work for me and it broke me out so badly that I can't even put underwear on. The rash wasn't the product's fault, but I am giving it a 1 for not helping the pain."


"i have been taking levothyroxine for 3 years i have had no side effects weight gain has stopped and im not tired at all"


"Hi iam 33 years old 5' 2" and weigh 230. I started taking Contrave 3 days ago, I took my first pill in the morning and shortly after I felt different, then my mouth started getting dry, through out the day I dranked lots and lots of water, which is a plus because I am not a fan of water, and I felt very sleepy, on the second and third day was the same but now this time I ate less major plus, but my anxiety level was at my most high, and I just wanted to cry. I felt depressed, I spoke to my husband in regards of my side effects, and I just started to cry, I've read some reviews and I see that it does work, but Iam having second thoughts because I don't want to feel depressed."


"I just started Chantix and am only on day 4, so I am still smoking.  I can tell changes already due to the taste.  I no longer want to smoke, it has been great.  If the rest of the treatment goes to plan I know this will work."


"Have used it for about 15 years as condition is progressing. Only use it until pain subsides and stop as soon as I can. The maximum time required has been one week and in most cases two or three days are sufficient. There have been long periods between the strong pains and I wait for it to be quite bad before using medication so I do not want to overuse and lose the ability to use the milder drugs."


"At first, I had to take it with a high protein meal...and even then, I had some nausea.  Now I've figured out a way for it to not cause nausea, yet get into my system:  Take RIGHT BEFORE you go to bed!  This way, it gets into my system, helps me to sleep 7-8 hours a night, and I feel in control of my feelings/moods instead of a slight "fog" all the time.

THIS medicine works;  the others I've tried (Ritalin, Dexedrine) produced unwanted side effects.  I'm staying with what works!"


"I actually have a non-allergic rhinitis and rather than my nose getting blocked it's usually my inner ears/vestibular system and just a feeling of having a fish tank over my head. I've been to plenty of ENT's over the 8 years and none of the medications they'd prescribe would work, most if the time antihistamines would actually block my head and dry out my mouth even further. This has worked the best so far, the only not so awesome thing about it is it feels like my allergy moved down to my throat and even though I'm not dizzy for the first time in years each time I breathe in through my nose it hurts a little. Still, better than anything else I tried!"


"I've been on the skyla IUD since about May-June and I didn't take any pain meds before hand and the pain wasn't that bad for me (high pain tolerance?) Only discomfort I had was when he opened my cervix up then I felt a pinch and that was that. I felt fine afterwards and went shopping. The next day I was cramping some and bleeding a little bit and I took some ibuprofen and all was good. Only bled for like 4 days. I don't get mood swings, haven't had abnormal hair loss or anything. Just get the pms for a couple days when I should get period. So far I've loved it and I didn't have to pay a single penny."


"I was(was feels so good) suffering havoc of acne from my 8th grade. Continued till my 12th grade, successfully destroyed my whole teen life. I took hundreds of antibiotic, Proactive, facial packs. All failed completely. Acne actually changed my personality, my image and whole life. After visiting many dermatologist, last(yes last) of them prescribed me Accutane. At first I didn't take it very seriously but after 1 month my persistent acne started disappearing. All thanks to acne, it puts a full stop to acne problem. I'm still recovering from all psychological disaster played by acne in my life.. But today I m completely acne free and confident that it will never come back. ONE Last advice, don't think and just go for it!"


"I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation 15 years ago and severely suffered with constipation since then.  On average I would do a bowel motion once every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks....no exaggeration.  I requested a colonoscopy after a friend of mine suddenly died of colon cancer at the age of 31.   Year ago my PCP introduced me to Linzess.  It took a month for my body to adjust.  I do have occasional diarrhea with it but I will take it over constipation any day! It's been a year and I am down to taking it once a week and rather then have a bowel motion once or twice a month. I go once or twice a day lawlessly with no issues whatsoever. It has acted almost like a cure for my condition.  Thank GOD for Linzess!"


"Alright 14 days to go thank goodness. Since my last comment so much has happened, still buzzing which is driving me crazy, joints aching, and now getting anxiety (panic) attacks something that I  have never had before, this freaks me out. I do have a lot of issues coming up from my time in juvenile detention 40yrs ago, so can't specifically place Epclusa as the cause but my lady reckons it is playing the major contributing factor. I've had Hep C since I was 23 years old. I'm now 54 I'm hoping that these (side affects??) disappear along with this disease when I've finished this course of meds.  I'm hoping the best for everyone"


"This drug was the worse. I'm still recovering. Starting taking this on 12/28 for SI. I take daily probiotics and increased them since I expected some stomach upset. At first not so bad but by Friday 12/30. The yeast infection from hell reared its ugly head. I had Diflucan on stand by just in case and took it 12/31 and stopped Augmentin altogether Nothing and normally it's hours when I feel relief. I had to get Monistat 1 on New Years to help fight it. Just got relief as of 1/4. Digestive still not normal. Never again. Unless my life depends on it."


"First time ever trying any medication for anxiety which I have struggled with for years. I took Celexa for 6 days 10/mg once a day. Throughout taking it, I noticed that my feelings started to dull. Everything was very level and it was hard to be anxious - or excited, or happy, or really much of anything. I got sexual side effects starting on the 3rd day, which was the deal breaker for me. As much as I liked that it calmed my racing thoughts, the constant fog, feeling of not being myself/me, and the inability to orgasm made it no-go for me. Celexa WAS effective for my GAD / social anxiety, but the side effects were terrible."


"Works great. I finally found something that works without giving me massive headaches and actually works."


"Makes me VERY drowsy."


"I experience an allergy-like response in my sinus and most likely is the cause pain behind my eyes.  I believe I have had a rash also.  I thought it was poison ivy but it was all over in different places.

My eyes seem drier also.  The cholesterol lowering effect has been huge!  My doctor and I decided to go back to Crestor at a lower dose."


"Nuvaring is the best birth control ever. For me it was about not having any side affects, and nuvaring did just that. I've been on it for a year as a form of birth control. It has worked  great not only as birth control but also made my periods shorter that only last 4 days, are very light, and always on time. NO other side affects. I've always followed the directions. You can leave it in during sex and I always do since my boyfriend has never mentioned it being uncomfortable. You can take it out for up to 3 hours a day without risk of pregnancy but personally I never take it out. You can also use it while using tampons as well which is nice for when you first start using. Overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone."


"I got my Implanon in March 2009.  The procedure was simple, but painful for a couple weeks. I am excited about the possibilities since I am an older mother who is not sure I am finished with babies.  However, I have "spotted" for 68 of the 90 days!  My actual period has decreased to very minimal but the constant use of a liner is just driving me crazy.  In addition I also have seen some weight gain and skin breakouts.  I am trying to add a estrogen patch for a month to see if we can break the cycle."


"This medication was by far the worst antidepressant have taken. The first month I seemed to do very well on it, after a year on it, I hit rock bottom mentally. It caused more terrible symptoms than what was beneficial to me. I had weird brain zaps that left me in bed for days, sleep disturbances, attention seeking behavior, as well as OCD that I had never experienced previously. It took forever to get off this terrible drug and I call it a terrible drug because your brain and body get physically addicted the way a street drug would, you miss 1 day and you start having severe withdrawals, sweats, extreme brain zaps, feeling out of touch w/reality/strange thoughts. After a month of being off Effexor, All of the bad stuff stopped."


"I have taken Tramadol for year and have found it very helpful with my body pain especially my back pain.  I usually have to take ONE 50 mg of the pill and that really helps.  There are many days that I may NOT have to take it.  I don't find it addicting at all.  I take it only if I really need it.  My prescription says to take it 4 times a day.  I would never do that.  It helps with only one.  It can be constipating and that is why I only take one to give me  a lot of relief.  I take it now with a stool softener.  I am sorry if people find it addictive but I don't feel that at all.  Perhaps they are taking 4 a day. I do not plan on dropping this pill for my pain any time soon."


"Unbearable muscle pain, both wrist, both arms shoulders, right side, numbness in feet.  I missed 1 dose and had no pain that's what brought me to this site to read the side effects."


"I had this implanted June 22nd 2015 August started feeling pregnant thought it was just the side effects gained 15 lbs all belly!!! I already have 3 kids was on the pill and got pregnant each time do thought I'd try something new...well it's November and I'm almost 6 months pregnant which obviously mean that I was pregnant before I got it..pregnancy test was negative. But any who lol the only REAL problem I had was the constant pain in my arm due to the implant...every other sickness and symptoms was because I am actually pregnant..ughhh I will not be trying this after the baby because I will be getting the tubal procedure!"


"I have been taking Trazodone for over 10 years, I started on 100mg and went down to 50 when I tried it and found that it worked just as well. I never used to sleep at night, with trazodone I consistently sleep through and have never had to increase the dose. I stopped taking it for a few months and was ok but went back on it when I started waking up in the middle of the night. I haven't noticed any side effects, my allergies do seem to be worse at night so maybe the trazodone affects them but when my allergies are not bad I don't have any sinus problems with trazodone, I also take zyrtec at night for allergies"


"Made me sick first day nausea , dizzy, vomit, sweating, high blood pressure"


"I started Qsymia in May 2015. I'm 55, breast cancer survivor of 5 years and the Tamoxifen I'm taking for my breast cancer caused weight gain and inability to lose ... I weighed 226 pounds at 5'4... I lost 32 pounds and hit a plateau ... After 6 weeks of hard trying and losing the same pound over and over I'm starting the higher strength tomorrow to try get to my goal weight. 2 weeks again at a higher strength then onto even higher .... I've had just dry mouth ... Fizzy drinks all taste flat ... And occasional twitchy legs for side effects... Hoping that's all I have on the higher dose ...my insurance has approved me until November 2016....  Will update"


"I am a 60 year old male with ADHD, who would have ever thought it? I started using Focalin IR 5mg after cutting it into four(4) pieces. I would take one quarter piece every three hours. It took me from being nonproductive to productive again with very few side effects. I am now taking Focalin XR, 10 mg in the morning and a 5 mg 6 hours later in the afternoon. I think my ideal dose will end up at 15 mg am and 10 mg afternoon to reach the optimal dose. The only side effect has been heartburn, a slight headache and being a little jittery with a occasional outburst of anger. I can handle the side effects which have subsided somewhat, to get the wonderful effects of this medication! ALIVE AGAIN AT 60 yrs old!"


"I would recommend this medication to anyone. My doctor advised me of the side effects, but I really wanted to quit. I have smoked for 22 years and I have a new grandson in the house. The only side effect I had was constipation, but it was something I could deal with. Always take this medication just after a meal so you wont feel sick. I learned that the first week. I have been quit for 34 days and I have been off the medication for 1 week. It suggests a 12 week treatment but I knew I was ready. All of the anxiety, mood swings and insomnia come along with nicotine withdrawals, but this medication makes them so much easier to tolerate. Hang in there, the first three days is the worst, but if you make it a week, don't turn back. GOOD LUCK."


"I read about Baclofen in Dr. Ameisen's book regarding the use of Baclofen for Alcoholics.  I am a long recovered alcoholic but have struggled with opiate addiction for 5 years.  After an accidental heroin overdose from which I was very near death, having needed IV Narcan because 8 doses of the Narcan Spray did not work, I followed up with my PCP 2 days later.  I brought up the fact that I had been clean prior to this short relapse and therefore did not want replacement therapy such as Suboxone, Subutex or Methadone since I had no physical dependency & I told him about the Baclofen and asked if he would consider giving it to me as a last resort.  I have been 100% Clean ever since.  This needs to be studied further and utilized to save lives!"


"Best drug out there for improvement in stream. Worst drug out there for retrograde ejaculation and orgasm buzz killer."


"I wanted to write a review to share a really positive experience with Skyla. A lot of people are writing about extreme cases and obviously everyone is different, but I just had my Skyla inserted yesterday and the process was a breeze. Much less pain than anticipated. I took 800 mg of IB profin 2 hours before insertion then another 200 mg of IB profin 30 minutes before hand and I hardly felt pain during it. For the rest of the day I certainly had cramps and some bleeding but wasn't as bad as everyone said. Today upon waking up I have no cramps and am so far very happy with my decision. Do not let the idea of pain scare you away, it will be okay!"

"W/in 2 hours of application I was cramping. Proceeded by 16 hours of vomiting. Thought it was food poisoning, except for the chemical taste (matched the smell of the foam). I explained it was like poisoning/chemical issue. My husband researched and found that this is supposedly a rare side effect that they do not put on any of the info when you purchase. I have never been this sick in 40 years. Please be careful and know they do not include 50% of the side effects anywhere on/in the packaging."


"I was having bad headaches, and recently stopped taking Zoloft, it didn't work. This helped a lot with the headaches, and helped me to sleep better. I starting having more vivid dreams while sleeping. This is the best antidepressant I've taken. I didn't even know it was an antidepressant till I looked it up. As I swore never to take antidepressants again but it helped with the headaches, so I guess I will just keep taking this magic pill. I wish I was prescribed this years sooner!"


"Take it early or you'll stay awake all night"


"This is a miracle.  I no longer think about food and have no desire to snack in between meals.  I eat only what my body needs.  I have lost 13 pounds in six weeks.  I lead a very active lifestyle (2-5 hours of cardio a week) and eat fewer than 100 grams of carbs per day.   I have tried every diet under the sun, and nothing has worked as well as far as controlling my cravings.  Side effects are minimal.  I have some tingling in my lips and possibly my hands and feet.  Be certain to take this medicine in the morning, or you will be up all night! "


"I have used it two separate times and both times I have ended up with a severe sore throat, and laryngitis.  Something I did not have before use. I blame it on the Ayr dripping down the back of my throat.  I followed directions exactly."


"I have suffered with severe anxiety and depression for years. I tried 6 different antidepressants as well as benzodiazepines and all did nothing for me of any help. Eventually I was put on Pregabalin by a Psychiatrist and it was very helpful almost from day one. We increased my dose until I take the maximum of 300mg twice a day. At this dose my anxiety has been pretty much eliminated, I am happy and now an active person. However a word of warning to anybody taking this medicine for a long time: DO NOT allow yourself to suddenly withdraw from it. I recently had to go a week without it and it was a living hell for me. Withdrawal symptoms for me were as follows: severe anxiety and depression, suicidal ideation, inability to sleep, nausea and vomiting"


"I have taken various pills for the past 20 years, I am 38.  Quasense allows just 4 periods a year, which is a great thing.  The periods I do get are normal length (for a pill-user, about 4 days) and slightly heavier than those I got with the regular monthly pills.  I have slightly more cramping in the day before it starts than I did with the monthly pills (but still NOTHING like the agony of no pill-cramps which were a nightmare).  Overall I love not having to deal with messy bleeding more than four times a year, and the slight increase in cramping for one day is more than worth it to me.  Hope this helps!"


"I have been on this medicine for about a month. I was given samples of a higher mg than what I am prescribed and those seemed to work the best. Then, I couldn't afford to get the medicine from the pharmacy for about a week and had no bm during that time. Yesterday, I took the medicine and still nothing but stomach pain. Today, I am taking it again with the hopes of having some relief."


"I'm trying this medication for the first time, and I think it has been the most affective thing to stop my cravings, and the horrible withdrawal symptoms. Thank you for this medicine!"


"I'm 31 and have developed severe allergies over the past couple of years. My eyes are horrible, itchy, watery, burning at times. I finally broke down and went to an allergist. I am allergis to cats and dog, plus Dust Mites. Yay! I have 2 cats. She gave me a sample of Pataday, with a prescription. I have been using them everyday for 5 days, one drop in each eye in the morning. A M A Z I N G!!! My eyes are so clear, they don't itch, they don't water but a little in the morning and then I'm good the rest of the day. I haven't rubbed them in five days, they are finally starting to heal. I have rubbed them raw with all the itching. I love these drops and can't wait to fill the prescription! My miracle eye drops. Thank you!"


"I am 21 and have been fighting severe rheumatoid arthritis since I was 17, spending most of the past year in bed. I've been on Enbrel 5 weeks and I've been experiencing no pain relief, just constipation and lack of sleep. "


"I have been taking this medicine for 5 days now 3xs a day. I also was just starting my cycle when I begin taking this medicine for BV. It has completed clear up the heavy discharge and foul smell, but the side effects has had me sick.  Every day I feel nauseous,  no appetite,  and find myself awoke in the middle of the night.  I have had no energy and everything I try to eat feels like it gives me indigesgion. Working and taking these pills have made it very difficult this past week. Today which is Saturday I took the 1st pill but I skip the 2nd one due to feeling absolutely horrrible. Well now it's bedtime and I've taken the the 3rd one.I'm not taking any of them tomorrow because I can't stand another day of this sickening feeling."


"This medicine works like heaven. I was taking other medicines and was on pain all the time. Ever since I started taking 30 mg oxycodone I'm back to my normal lifestyle, pain free."


"I have around 6 or more cold sore episodes a year - they are terrible. I finally tried Valtrex and it's amazing. I took it just as I noticed a red spot forming. I took 2g and then 2g 12 hours later. The cold sore still formed the next day but never got "crusty" - just redness and slight swelling. It was basically gone in 4-5 days. I think next time I'll take it for 2 days to see if that works better. I've tried the prescription creams but they didn't always work well for me. I'm a believer in Valtrex. Wish I had this years ago."


"Butrans patch took away all my pain"


"Still used in UK [NHS].

Effective - and I only need 100 or 200mg daily to keep below 6mg/dl SUA.

No side effects, as yet- that I flag.

Some twinges with moderate alcohol use- but that's my fault!"


"I'm  on Day 11 of 84 (3 month treatment)...I take Harvoni at 6pm religiously and find that I sleep through most of the symptoms. First 3 days were hard...nausea , restless legs, fatigue, weakness and headaches...couldn't finish any gym sessions. But Day 4-6 were "miracle days"...I think my viral load dropped dramatically (Will find out Viral Load in week 4 and week 12 and at 6 months). Zero Viral Load means the Hep C is Non-Active...which is as much as being cured as we can get.

I have heard that a lot of patients are non-active in week 12 but are relapsing 6+months after treatment. To prevent a relapse...I'm taking Spirulina, Vitamin C & B Complex, Banana and handful of nuts and seeds every day. http://www.realnatural.org/chlorella-found-to-improve-hepatitis-c-infections/"


"Had to switch to this after sertraline didn't work when I tried to go back on it. OCD blew up as soon as I stopped my previous SSRI and I ended up sick. Always consult your doctor and if you have severe OCD, it's an SSRI for life... Fluoxetine had the usual side effects: suicidal, anxious, worsening of depression and tiredness. Unfortunately you just have to work through this with these meds. After a few weeks I started to see some slow progress and my obsessions decreased. I was still severely depressed and I augmented this with risperidone. That too made me a bit crazy for a few days but after a couple of weeks I was able to return to work after 3 months off. These meds take time. 18 months on I'm just on fluoxetine 60mg and feel great!"


"I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and of course we weren't thinking clearly, but anyway I took the pill at exactly 48 hours afterwards and came on my cycle a little past a week.  The new european study that says it doesn't work for women over 175, it's not true I'm well over 175 and currently on my cycle... Be sure to take it within 72 hours and if you have the funds I've also heard of some women taking another pill 12 hours again after the first. Hope this helps."


"I have tried every form of birth control, with the exception of an IUD, and I find this pill to be the most successful one by far. It took my body just two months to properly adjust to the timing of the active pills. I've been on this now going on 5 months and I couldn't be happier. My period lasts between 2-4 days, my cramps are very light, I do not get any negative side effects like some people have mentioned, I get less acne during my ovulation period and my headaches have gone away. My bf and I have unprotected sex around 3 times a day and so far so good! I can't say that everyone will benefit the same as I have, but if there were a BC that I could recommend to anyone, it would be this one."


"I have been in Effexor for twelve years and it's been very effective until just recently. (I think my body has grown too used to it.) When it was still able to effect me, it was super useful. The bad part is that you'll suffer from withdrawal symptoms if you don't take it for over 24 hours. I ran out in college for FIVE DAYS (I lived in one city and my psychiatrist was in another) and I was miserable - chills, weird dreams, everything. Never let it run out and never forget to take it. Otherwise it's a good medicine."


"I had a blood clot during my first pregnancy and this is the only thing they could prescribe. I have been taking it for 7 days and I'm moody, crampy, my face broke out (I have clear skin),no sex drive, spacey, I'm extremely tired and I'm so overly hungry. I'm very athletic so it's frustrating. Birth control is ridiculous. I have never found a good one. Even the IUD moved twice! Where the hell is male birth control?"


"I couldn't go and now I can.  This says it all."


"This medication has prevented tremors and improved my quality of life.  It also helps with anxiety and headaches.  It is a much milder alternative to Xanax for light anxiety sufferers. "


"First off I want to say that if you take this medication and it's expensive even with the insurance, go directly to Nucynta's official site. They have a coupon you can print, and use up to 14 times a calendar year that you will only pay less for the prescription. I actually very much like this medication. I have been on and off narcotics like Vicoden and Percocet for years, and this worked just as well for me. I had a couple headaches the first week but not as many now. Right now I only take 50mg, but I think that the 75mg may be more efficient, so I'm going to ask my PM doctor about it next time I go. But overall, this has been a life saver for me."


"It is the only thing that works for my sinus headaches. Some last for a week at a time and this medicine makes me forget about the pain until the dosage has wore off approx 8-12 hours later"


"Took the 5 day Z-pack for this bronchitis I have had a month now. After the 1st day I felt great, but then downhill from there. 6 days after finishing it I wound up in the E.R., they gave the Z-pack again...much to my chagrin. I finished it 3 days ago and while I have more energy, my cough is still bad. I know the infection is still there, my white blood cell count is high at 18,000, but they also put me on Prednisone which causes high white  blood cell count. So they can't differentiate/determine cause of high white count, if infection or prednisone. Chest x-ray shows bronchitis. Friends who've had bronchitis are suggesting Bactrim, will discuss with my doctor."


"Age 38, overall excellent health: erectile dysfunction due to antidepressant (Zoloft 100mg/ day).  Was taking 1/2 of a 100mg tablet of Viagra.  Seemed to start working 45 minutes to one hour after taking.  Worked well, but 4 hours or so after taking it, it wore off.  Yes, was trying more than 1 hardy attempt!  This went on for almost a year.  Doctor switched me over to Cialis 20mg tablet.  Best to take on empty stomach with a full glass of water.  Full effect kicks in about 3 hours after taking.  Awesome stuff. Cialis has become my "weekend warrior" pill as it lasts almost the entire weekend."


"Good pain relief but not long lasting. Doc switched me to a new one Exalgo not bad but not as good so far in long lasting 24hr dose."


"After my initial 9 days of Zyclara treatment I have had to stop using it. The side effects are intense to the point of debilitating."


"This really helped me for my period, before this pill, my period was so bad, going on for 7-8 days, with serious pain for the first 4 days. I would take like 4 ibuprofen (in just 3 hours, NOT good) and it wouldn't help! But now my pain is mild to none, and that makes me happy. I was seriously hoping it would help lower my acne level though... but it gave me more, plus oily skin. Just as long as it keeps the pain away, I'll keep taking it."


"Cymbalta made me into a zombie - sleeping 20  hours a day and killing my appetite.  All with no relief from my pain or other symptoms.  "


"soma helps my back pain effectively.I seem to be pulling my muscles easier as time goes by.Thank God for soma and the relief it brings."


"2nd day on the 400mg.....crazy side effects. Felt like a bad mushroom trip. Really messed me up. I swear I heard the sloshing around of blood pumping while completely zoned out"


"Did not work at all for my chronic Crohn's disease."

"My mom was given Namenda and got worse. Had hallucinations and got to the point that she didnt know me got very aggressive."


"I have used this cream for 5 days for pre-cancerous spots. Nothing is happening so far."


"I had immediate results.I definitely felt less edgy just 3 days into my 10mg nightly dose. I had a headache first two days but took pain relief and it knocked it out. So far it has already provided relief from my constant anxiety and edginess."


"I got this implant in September of 2015. The reason that I got it was because I wanted to regulate my hormones better (I had really bad period symptoms) and I am too forgetful to do the pill. I thought it was great at first, recommended it to everyone. Now that I'm farther down the line, I hate it. I was pleased that I didn't bleed for almost half a year, but when my periods came back, they came back worse. I now bleed for 3-4 weeks at a time, with 3 weeks in between. It is awful. I also get really bloated and have sensitive breasts, which are symptoms that I never had in the past. This thing definitely prevents pregnancy because every time I am in the position to have sex, I can't because I am bleeding.  I plan on having it removed soon."


"I have been on 400mg Gleevec for a little over a year. The side effects were hard the first couple months, but now I feel great and my the side effects are only rare digestive issues and headaches.

My blood cell counts have been at, or close to normal for the last year, and my last bone marrow biopsy reviled that my cells containing the Philadelphia chromazone had gone from 1 in 2 to 1 in 50.

They have also found out I have fibrosis of my bone marrow and are unsure if it's caused by the medication or the CML."


"on this drug for about 4yrs went from 155 to almost 300 lbs in 4 yrs it attacks the kidneys and you fill up with water off it now lost about 60 lbs in 8months"


"I had Implanon inserted in December 08. I have only great things to say about it! About a month after it was inserted I had slight break through bleeding for about seven days. Other than that I haven't had any bleeding and have felt fine. No mood swings (that I am aware of). I feel great and it works GREAT!"


"This is the only birth control I have used but I haven't had mood swings but I have gained a ton of weight from it and eating healthy and like half of what I used to so the weight gaining will stop and so I am about to switch when my year long prescription runs out next month."


"I was first given Cymbalta and it did not help at all. Since stopping Cymbalta and starting Savella I have had about 50% relief in my fibromyalgia symptom. I still have good and bad days, but the bad days are so much easier to get through! I didn't think it was possible and was very skeptical at first, since I am already on several other medications and have tried several more medications over the years. Sometimes I felt like a guinea pig, so it is so nice to get some relief."


"I used to take loliestrin 24 and it was great! But my insurance doesnt cover it. On Loloestrin I Lost weight, no mood swings and no periods. This however is the opposite. Its been 2 month i'm super bloated, always tired and had my period for 2 weeks now. Super annoying. Im not sure if I can wait 3 months. I will try and see if it gets better. So far its sucks"


"4 years ago I had my first panic attack/anxiety. Had hyperventilation and end up in the ER. My doctor prescribed 0.025mg of Xanax. I took the medicine as required. I wasn't able to drive and do anything out by myself. I was afraid and worried of being alone. I always fear that it would happen again. My thoughts are always what if...Anxiety was taking over my life. I was able to control it for 2 years. Just this month I recently panicked for no reason. My dr. put me on this just in case I have a full blown anxiety...but the downside to this medicine is it makes me really sleepy and tired. But it does works!"


"This drug was the worst by far. Diagnosed almost 9 years ago in 2008. On tamoxifen for two years-had a hysterectomy-on Arimidex for five years. I thought after seven years I would not have to take anything. Dr said new research and I should take a drug for 10 years. Didn't want to go back on Arimidex because of the horrible side effects. On tamoxifen again for one year and developed a vetreous detachment in my eye-after research on my part could've been linked to the tamoxifen. I went off that and started taking Exemestane. On for three weeks and had terrible backache, nausea, acid reflux, cracking bones, and horrible depression.  I won't take it again for only a 2% increase in survival"


"Well my 1st pregnancy i went into preterm labor at 31 weeks. I had my baby at 32 weeks. I had a placenta abruption. Im pregnant again been taking the shots since 16 weeks and im 35 weeks today with one more shot to go. Makena has helped me. I never had contraction. And guess what im still not dilated. So glad i wont have another baby fighting for there life."


"I have problems falling asleep, and also waking up many times during the night.

I tried Ambien first and it didn't seem to help much.

Now I have been using Rozerem 8 mg for about a week, and I have slept wonderfully, better than I have in years.

I do seem to have a little bit of residual affect in the morning of drowsiness, but it doesn't last long.  After that I have had more energy throughout the day than I have had in a very long time.

So far Rozerem is working for me."


"I have suffered with chronic uncontrolled migraines for 19 years now. Recently during an episode I had to be taken to the ER and was given Dilaudid as I.V.  It has been the only thing that has given me relief, the best medicine I've ever used, and believe me, I've used most all of them."


"I have become very sensitive to ingredients in certain drinks and products. I can no longer take bubble baths or use body washes (anything with scents). I also can't drink any of the energy drinks. From the first time I feel the symptoms (frequency, pain, "full" feeling), it's usually gone straight to my kidneys and I'm urinating with blood in the urine. Over the counter mediines don't work with me. The doctor gives me Cipro and Pyridine (for pain/turns urine orange) and it knocks it out fast and completely. Depending on the dose (I get higher for kidneys than just straight bladder), it can wipe out all bacteria (good/bad) and cause a yeast infection. I've been lucky and only have had one."


"So I was prescribed this product a little under a month ago and I have to say,I'm really impressed!
After two weeks my skin was a lot clearer than it had been.
After using Zyneret and being on oral antibiotics and the pill to try clear my skin this was the one thing that truly wowed me."


"I started Saxenda at the start of April 2016. On the first day I wasn't hungry at all and had to force myself to eat. Felt quite the same in the first week but from then on found myself eating much less.

After a month I had lost about 4kgs (combined with regular exercise). I have now been on it for just over 3 months and have found the effects of my lack of hunger have worn off. I get hungry but probably not quite as hungry as I did pre Saxenda. I am feeling fuller more quickly during meals and my portions aren't as big but in the last 3-4 weeks I haven't lost any weight and have even put on a few cm's. I haven't been exercising regular since the first month.

For sustained weight loss I think you need to eat healthy as well as exercise."


"Diovan does the trick as far as the blood pressure goes.  I have been an athlete my whole life so high blood pressure was just never dreamed of.  The only problem is my erectile dysfunction, which was never a problem before this.  Guess I will have to take the bad with the good."


"I'm pretty sure that I don't suit this medication. The first three weeks were absolute torture with blurred vision, headaches, nausea, and no energy. After that time the medicine did seem to help my anxiety and depression. However, after three months the side effects came back worse than the first three weeks. I went to my doctor and asked to switch medications immediately. Coming off of the Cymbalta was the worst experience of my life. At one point I had uncontrollable shaking and muscle movements. I couldn't even concentrate enough to go to the kitchen and make a sandwich. I know this drug works for many people, but for myself it was like taking poison."


"I've been on Pain Medicine for my Arthritis, Back Shoulder & Neck Pain since 2006 most pain  due to a car wreck it is now 2016. The only thing that works for me is Hydrocodone 10/325 Watson brand is the best. I take 3 a day. I've been on a lot of different kinds of pain medication for my chronic pain. ( Was in another car accident March 2016 which made me worse) I was put on fentanyl patch 25 mg, I've taken Percocet 7.5 & 10s. Those are all to strong for me. Watson is only thing that helps me to where I can deal with everyday living. If medication is taken like it your suppose to take it then it won't be a problem. Before last accident some days I didn't need them. God bless all those living in pain. All pain is different. Wish DEA would recognize that"


"Make sure and take the shot on your thigh. It hurts less. Also, do not buy into the advice about icing the area or letting the shot sit out for a bit to warm up some. It hurts the same. I have been on Enbrel for five months. The big red spots do go down after a week on the first few shots and after a month you only get a mark for a day or two. My advice is to give yourself your shot on a Sunday and by the weekend you'll have no mark. I am in college and it is not that bad. I am on 50 mg which has not worked well and my doctor is going to increase my dosage. It helps some, but Celebrex is still my go-to for pain. Wash your hands a lot!"


"I experienced my first migraine when I was roughly 10 years old. I'm 32 now. Last month (July 2010) I had a particularly vicious attack which lasted 1 1/2 weeks. Following a few days of relative calm, a second migraine (or continuation of the previous one... who knows?) occurred and essentially disabled me for an additional 1 1/2 weeks. After much research, I talked to my physician and decided on a treatment plan which includes taking 25mg of amitriptyline (Elavil) at bedtime every night, as well as Maxalt MLT and a nausea drug when needed. I've been taking the amitriptyline for nearly two weeks now and so far so good. The side effects are noticeable, however, and include drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth. Will keep you posted."


"I tried Lunesta for severe insomnia and it didn't work for me. It gave me a very bitter, nasty, taste in my mouth within 30 minutes after taking it. It didn't make me sleepy and the taste made it even harder to fall asleep. I had to end up taking 1 mg Xanax to fall asleep that night. "


"I just had my second injection on 12/2--one more on 12/9. The first injection was very painful and my knee was sore for two days. The second injection did not hurt at all and my knee was fine immediately after. This knee pain has been going on for two years and I finally have relief. I'm just hoping it lasts longer than 6-months. I would definitely advise anybody who has this problem to at least try it. It is working for me!"


"I started taking this on Nov 3rd, 2016 for weight loss at the suggestion of a new Dr.  I am  not prediabetic but over 100 lbs overweight. Age 46    I went back for my follow up on 12/12/2016 and had lost 13 lbs.  I did experience nausea the first few days.  This medicine reduced my appetite.  Rating 8 out of 10 because I'm still early in the process.  Will report back"


"I am a 9-12 teacher.  I have suffered from profuse underarm sweating for over ten years and have tried EVERYTHING! Then, last week I was at the doctors and I decided to mention my sweating problem. He prescribed Hypercare and told me that it works. He is right. First day at school without sweating. It is amazing!"


"I will start by saying that while on the patch for about 6 months I felt fine... No bad side effects. I follow directions religiously for this stuff because becoming pregnant was not something I had planned. However, after 6 months on the patch and using condoms, I found out I'm pregnant. 16 weeks pregnant to be exact. Because Xulane did make my periods irregular, I had no idea I was pregnant until 14 weeks. Just a heads up to the girls wearing it. It didn't do much for protecting me from pregnancy."


"It worked great to regulate my moods and eventually my periods but I have to discontinue because I'm getting recurrent yeast infections."


"Started this med about 1.5 wks ago.  I don't have trouble going to sleep, but wake often through the night from bad/disturbing dreams. Then my mind started to race and I can't turn off- sometimes for hours. I would also wake in the morning with the veil of the most recent bad dream in my head and feeling exhausted. Trazodone helps my mind rest. I still wake 2 or 3 times a night, and I am still doing some dreaming, but don't wake crying or upset and can go back to sleep quickly. I always have been thirsty through the night and still wake and drink water- I don't think the medicine is making this worse. Is a bit harder to get going in the morning, but not enough to negate the positives. I also take 60mg Cymbalta every day for many yrs now."


"I'm on Yaz for 18 days now. I struggled with a sudden constant acne breakout on my chin (hormones). Doctor prescribed Yaz, especially to help with the acne. I am very happy with how the pill improved my skin. I've noticed I can't drink the pill on a empty stomach (otherwise I am really nauseous). The only side effect I experience is the constant swelling of breasts. Some days it's very sensitive other days not. Yaz workers differently for every person."


"I have found this helpful in boosting my mood but it hasn't helped with anxiety. It also continues to make me feel nauseous."


"I was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis in early September after having awful symptoms. I had a foul discharge, pain when urinating, pain during intercourse, slight bleeding during intercourse and didn't know what was wrong. Since this was my first time having this I was very scared. My doctor told me it is easily treated and it's a common STD so while I was still upset it did put my mind at ease a little. I took 4 pills of 500mg in one dose and abstained for a little over a week and it got rid of all the symptoms. I must admit it worked well and I had no side effects."


"I had a swollen gland under my palate due to an ear infection & was give a 7 day Rx for this drug. I ended up stopping with 2 days to go. I have severe itching (feels like bugs crawling on me) yeast infections including in my mouth, severe diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, lethargy & no appetite. It has been 3 full days since I took this vile drug & I am still losing weight. I am now down 10 lbs and it shows no signs of slowing down."


"This is the end of my third week on Qsymia and I've lost 15 lbs.  The first two weeks I was on the starter dose of 3.75mg, and now for the next 12 weeks I will be on the dosage of 7.5mg.  I am a 46 year old female with a starting weight of  372.8 lbs.  The first two weeks I consumed about 1700 calories per day.  Since increasing the dosages I'm now consuming between 1200-1600 calories per day.  I'm not exercising a lot so far...hurt my leg at work so have been laid up.  I have been walking at a slow pace about 3-4 miles per week for some form of exercise until my leg heals.  I have not had any major side effects.  A metallic taste in my mouth, minor tingling in my limbs but nothing bothersome."


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


"Vyvanse had "decent" effectiveness and minimal side effects . It was also (pretty much) the most effective medicine for me, despite it not being all that great at relieving many of my ADHD symptoms. (I have tried Dexedrine, Concerta, Adderall XR and, of course, Vyvanse)."


"A miracle-worker. Even on my laziest nights I make sure to put this on. After almost 9 months of using, my skin is glowing, radiant, and smooth. My pores have never felt cleaner, and I only get breakouts very rarely. It's also incredibly reduced the appearance of my scars, which i though were incurable."


"I take 10mg daily beginning two years ago for anxiety. The only side affect was for the first week. All I wanted to do was sleep. My body relaxed so much, I was not sleep deprived anymore. Afterwards it levelled off. My Dr. and I keep constant checkups and it's working out great."


"This is the only medication that works for me!"


"First 2 days were euphoric and nothing could upset me. Then got more irritable and anxious. Stomach in knots. Then came depression & thoughts of suicide along with anxiety. Yawning all the time. This is day 7 and I left a message with my doctor this morning letting her know I couldn't feel like this for another week in hopes that it would possibly even out."


"I used this as my son had conjunctivitis and after one day the redness and swelling went down. Good eye drops, would definitely recommended to all."


"Did more harm than good.
Suicidal ideation regularly even after taken for 4 months. Stomach problems, increased anxiety; and depression onset when I had none prior."


"I just had it inserted today, and the pain when inserted wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I've had very minimal period cramps all day after having the Kyleena inserted, and a very small amount of bleeding but besides that it isn't too bad at all! I would recommend it over the pill anyday!"


"Triumeq is working as an HIV medication - but I am gaining weight."


"It really helps me. I have back pain and leg pain after my surgery which is still healing since 2005."


"Do not take this medicine. Doctors and pharmacists do not tell you the extent of side effects. A small warning suggests that it may turn your urine orange. It does not say the color of your urine will look like you are bleeding out. Nor does it say it will stain and ruin the porcelain in your toilet. Outrageous that this medicine is even on the market."


"(FOR MALE JUVENILE OSTEOPOROSIS)

While this medicine did seem to increase my bone density in the long run, the night after caused far more pain then the injury that fractured my spine, though this could be on account of my age. PLEASE be sure to check with your doctor over how it may effect you. That being said, calcium supplements and medication over a longer period of time also helped, even without a second Reclast treatment."


"I have severe obsessive compulsive disorder.  I had been on Lexapro, AND I was doing well after 2 years I went off it.  I was doing well for a few months, and then my OCD spiraled out of control.  I started taking Lexapro again 3 weeks ago.  Last week I was still doing horribly.  My Psychiatrist put me on 2 MG of Abilify and it seemed to kick in for me the next day.  I'm not perfect, but my OCD thoughts are much less. I'm not ruminating.  I don't have rituals, just obsessive thoughts.  They're practically gone in one week.  This medicine seems to have done the trick for me thus far.  I have just started CBT therapy too.  My appetite has increased.  I don't know if it's actually from the Abilify."


"I started Saxenda Mid-October and have lost 10 pounds, which seems to be a bit slower, but still healthy weight loss. I have PCOS so losing weight is very difficult.  It definitely curbs my appetite, but I was still not eating the healthiest meals. It was like, I'm not hungry, but I'd still like some mexican food (if that makes sense?). I LOVE food. So, I am now on Weight Watchers learning to eat healthy, too.

The insurance paid for mine. I have BCBS and only paid $30 for it with the savings card.

I only have experienced nausea if I take it early in the morning before eating. Lunch is best. Otherwise, the only side effect I experience is constipation (extreme!). Laxatives wouldn't work. This is the only negative I've experienced"


"Go to your pcp or closest walk in clinic and get a script of diflucan. The monistat works, but the torture that you have to endure is not worth the $22.00 you spend on that little ovule that will make your vagina feel like it was hit by a Mack truck and attacked by angry hornets!!!!"


"I have been taking Glimepiride for 5 months now and it works great and if I cut the carbs/candy out my sugar is so good that sometimes I don't have to take it at all.  My A1C was 8.9 and the Dr said if it goes to 10 then they will put me on insulin. I am praying that my A1C has gone down.  I get tested next week.  I crave candy everyday and have not stopped eating it."


"So I started this birth control as my first when I was 18. Only started to take it to regular my period for college. It regulated it, I had less cramps, less bleeding, no pimples, no weight gain. I was very happy with it. I've came go realize recently that this birth control has caused my depression, anxiety and my inablitiy to sleep well. I've been on this pill for over two years and I'm just now realizing what it is doing to my body and my mind and it is very unhealthy. Look for the side effects of depression, anxiety and lack of sleep within the first three/four months because that's when it starts and that's when you should get off of it."


"No side effects besides being tired the next day, but that might have been from staying up late the night before if you know what I mean ;) And I'm not pregnant and I think I was ovulating! We used the pull out method so that could also be why I'm not preggers. I've been terrified all month. Get on a regular BC though people. I'm on the pill, but when I had sex I hadn't taken it for a week so I bought Take Action."


"I've been on Microgestin for almost three months now; I switched over from Previfem. During the first month or so, my sex drive decreased a bit and I was nauseated in the morning sometimes. I did notice some mood swings, too. Since I've been on it for a while, though, the symptoms have let up. My withdrawal bleeds only last for about 3-5 days, and they're light. I do have backaches and cramps periodically throughout my cycle, but they're manageable with a little ibuprofen. My breasts swell a bit and get sore around my placebo week, but that's not really a big deal.

Overall, I'm happy with Microgestin. I haven't gotten pregnant, so that's awesome, and the side effects are minimal. Also, my skin is looking good!"


"I take Ultram 100mg three times daily, it works most of the time. "


"I am so proud to say that I have lost 67 lbs. so far with Contrave.  I am 6' and had a starting weight of 327, was pre-diabetic, have fibromyalgia, and bp was creeping up the scale.   Contrave and my own personal decision to change my life are the key to success with  Contrave. This medicine has given me energy and focus...the kind of focus that stops my constant thoughts of food.  Just having finished thanksgiving I can honestly say that I am thinking about other things besides eating to satisfy the urge, now I eat for fuel and energy and concentrate on things that are good for me.  Finally there is more to life than food.  I even starting working out at a gym on Thanksgiving...LOL!!  Best advise my doctor has ever given me!!!"


"My experience with Latuda is mostly negative. I have been on it for 5 months and will be tapering off in a couple of weeks thankfully.  The only good thing about it is it stabilized me in a severe mixed mania with psychosis episode, but other than that, the side effects are horrible.  It has done nothing for my depression the past two months and I have had anxiety and major irritability on it.  The nausea and vomiting is miserable.  I was prescribed zofran to offset the nausea but that is not so helpful either since the zofran causes constipation.  The 350 calorie requirement is a pain because you can't take it with dinner or you fall asleep instantly, so I take it with a late night meal to last a few more hours, hence more weight gain."


"I used Mucinex D last year taking the recommended 1 pill every 12 hours and was fine, it helped so much with my horrible sinus infection.

I'm on day 3 of some nasty congestion and decided to take Mucinex D last night at 9 pm...DO NOT TAKE THIS IN THE AFTERNOON OR NIGHT IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP. I laid down at 10 pm because I felt like crap...I laid in bed until 2 am and finally fell asleep for a whole 3 hours.

I do like this product, but I would just recommend taking it right away in the morning since it lasts 12 hours."


"I take this for nerve pain now and it helps me more than Cymbalta or Lyrica. I take 3 of 10/500 Lortab it usually take 30 to 40 minutes to take effect and usually gives a burst of energy or gives the motivation to go and get things done, like washing the car, going to work, etc."


"I started getting  bad acne in my sophomore year of high school and it got progressively worst. I was at the point of depression and anxiety didn't know what to do. I took proactiv and retin A but none of it helped. Finally when I was 19 I started using accutane and had to get blood samples every month because it was so potent. It worked like magic though and all the bad acne went away and never came back. I experienced no side effects and my face has been clear ever since."


"My autistic 15 year old son was extremely violent. I had to take him into the hospital 3 times in a 24 hour period..he was prescribed a few different medicines but none worked, except this one. He is himself, without aggression, irritability. I immediately notice he could wait and concentrate. It is a God send."


"This is awesome."


"The medicine brought my wife's symptoms under control finally.  Was very sedating to the tune of her sleeping 14 hours per day.  We are trying Invega instead but Zyprexa is always the fallback plan because it works."


"Works fine but the rebound insomnia can be awful.  Used sparingly it can be a useful medicine. Once again, watch for the rebound insomnia."


"I am a 42 yr. old woman with ADHD along with Bipolar Depression also coming off 8 yrs. of taking pain medications every day ( norco's as well as Percocet's) I was getting between both 300 a month.. I've been off the pain meds for 4 mth now so far so good.. But after the fog cleared from the pain meds all my other diagnoses come out full blast,. So I was taking a 2mg Xanax, 350mg soma, along with 300mg trazadone at night and still couldn't sleep. Thanks to my new doctor I'm on 1mg Xanax along with 100mg Seroquel at night and within a hour I'm asleep and I mean good sleep (no dreams getting up thru the night etc.,) so fingers crossed it stays that's way!!!"


"I can't stop eating. This pill caused some pretty annoying side affects. Cramps, bloating, agitations, fatigue, the worst mood swings the first week after taking it, and bleeding dark blood. I'm wondering if my whole menstrual cycle started over. I'll have to see on the 27th. I can honestly say I hope these hormones get out of my system fast before I gain more weight from these uncontrollable food binges. I look different. I guess it's better than an unplanned pregnancy right? Still, I wonder how long this pill and it's tracks will be in my body. I liked my hormonal balance before the pill. Does anyone know?"


"I took this for 3 months to regulate my period and reduce the pain. It didn't help with the unbearable pain, but it kinda worked for regulating for one of the 3 months."


"My doc started me on Lucentis after I had a  reaction to  Avastin.  My condition improved after 8 months.  I also began taking an AREDS vitamin formula in the last two months of treatment and increased the amount of green leafy veggies (Chard, Spinach and Kale) in my diet and stopped my daily baby aspirin (some clinical studies indicate may worsen the condition)  So I cannot attribute improvement solely to Lucentis.

One thing to be very aware of is the cost.  The Medicare co-pay per treatment (per eye) is about $500. "


"I know people react to medication differently, some have had great experience but most have seen the dark side of this medication. I've been on multiple medications, this is definitely the last one I will ever go on. My suicidal thoughts increased to almost daily, felt like self harming my self all the time. super irritable. I was only on the medication for 2 months, before I was on effexor for almost 2 years.. multiple medications before. I decided to wean off of it with the help of the pharmacist for a month.. after officially off of them I have never felt something so horrible as these withdrawal symptoms. so dizzy I couldn't get off out of bed for 4 days, brain zaps, shaking uncontrollably, hit and cold flashes.. ect. BE CAREFUL"


"My 5 year old just started this medication and no change in her became evident as its supposed to after about 30 minutes. It actually made her Tourette's worse and made her itch and irritable. Hope you have better luck!"


"I've only had this nexplanon implant for a week now, but so far my fave has started clearing up. I used to have really irregular periods and rarely got them but like once every 2 months.  I actually lost weight in the week I've had it.  I have had some intense mood swings. but so far it's worth it."


" I know everyone's body reacts differently to hormones, but the nice thing about IUD's are that the hormones are released in your uterus instead of being digested and absorbed into your blood stream. Of course, the hormones still get into your blood, but it has less effects on the body since it's more controlled to one area. The insertion definitely hurt and I had slight cramping the first day of insertion, but it was completely gone by the second day. Also had a major cramp, that felt like when I got it inserted (only lasted 2 minutes, maybe). DR informed me that the Skyla does move & reposition during the first few months & that's what that pain was. LOVE SKYLA"
