"Listen, I had sex on 01/08/16 and the condom came off when he withdrew. It was every where. I took Plan B about 13 hours later. I got every side effect ever. Nausea, bloating, VERY TIRED, headache, lower back pain and CRAMPS!!! Lots of cramps!!! I will not tell you to relax because I couldn't relax AT ALL for two weeks. I had no sign of a period at all for over a week and a half. I woke up everyday freaking out! Yesterday I got spotting and then my mind raced and I googled everything! Today AF came. 12 days after plan b and 1 week late on period. It absolutely messes with your hormones and you will be hyper sensitive to every side effect you get and I KNOW you will think your pregnant as soon as you feel a sign but it is the hormones."


"I have taken this medicine for 8 months ish, at first i felt no difference but at around 3 months I also started lifting weights and dieting. I think that if I had only worked out I wouldnt have felt and different but because of the pristiq I feel much better"


"A little itching and redness. Missed 3 days of school because of pink eye. Then I went on this and it seems to be getting better."


"I can't tolerate the taste. I quit. Would rather have the cough."


"If I missed my dosing time by an hour I spotted. Miss a day? Full blown period. It prevents pregnancy because you are always bleeding. No thank you"


"GIVE IT TWO FULL MONTHS. That's my most important piece of advice. I am a 21 year old male and had an extremely acute outbreak of anxiety and panic attacks, mostly related to my health/getting a serious disease. My psychiatrist gave me 50mg of Zoloft a day   0.5 mg of Ativan. The Ativan worked immediately and for a long time I didn't think the Zoloft was working. But it's been two months now and I'm almost anxiety free. Getting off the Ativan has been no problem at all (something I was very worried about) and I feel back to my old self pre-anxiety outbreak.

My psychiatrist does therapy too, which I think was very very helpful."


"Completely surprised at the positive results from this medication in a very short time. Nausea is the biggest side effect for me. I am myself again after sinking into an abyss of pain and sadness. No more panic attacks. No more uncontrolled crying spells. I can laugh again! I highly recommend this medication.
In the appeals process w my insurance co they have denied this med."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I am not sure if Neulasta is working yet. I have only had once so far. Pain on day 2 and 3 were terrible. My jaw even hurt. I did take Tylenol and Aleve but pain was untouchable. I will not take again unless my MD gives me something stronger for the pain."


"I started taking Belviq 7 days ago and I am 7 pounds lighter today. Far as side affects I had just a tiny bit of light head & I think that was only because I read some of the reviews & that's what some people were saying they had & it was stuck in my mind it was going to happen. Other than that I've been absolutely fine & I'm looking forward to more weight loss"


"I get UTIs pretty frequently, so as soon as I felt the symptoms coming on I went to an urgent care.  The first day of macrobid I got a headache. The second day I had severe headache, body aches, weakness and malaise.  However, I thought it was just my illness, because I have never had an experience like this with medication before.  Day 3, I am in hell and sicker than a dog. Severe headache, nausea, light headed, weak, fatigued. I called in for Bactrim.  DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. I get that not everyone has this reaction, but the risk is not worth it to me."


"Vagifem truly changed my life.  Intercourse was almost impossible for me before my doctor prescribed Vagifem. Intercourse felt like knives in my vagina and my tissues were so dry,raw, and painful that I was in constant pain.  I have been using it now for about a month and the difference is unbelievable. No more pain or irritation. No side effects so far."


"I love the twice a year shot.  The company is.awesome and very helpful.  But....1st shot no side effects, 2nd shot left groin pain for about a week, 3rd shot and now right sided groin pain since October that goes to my thigh, hip and pelvic bone.  Pain is severe at times.  Also thyroid problem is worse (not sure if related) and right side lower back pain.  I can no longer take the medication."


"I suffer from severe arthritis of hips and knees and they need to be replaced.  My Dr put me on belbuca along with my other pain meds and I'm just gonna tell you belbuca is a joke. Thanks to all you junkies out there people like me that suffer everyday from chronic pain literally are forced on this drug because all you crack heads want to get high. You will eventually start trying to abuse this and they will ban it as well. Because you find anyway to abuse something thanks to you all. Think of this when you get hurt real bad and need pain meds and the Dr won't give you any because they don't make them anymore. Think of that and I hope you finally see for your self, but belbuca is a joke"


"I got my Implanon on January of 09 and I love it.  I had no problems with the bleeding except at first, for 2 weeks I would have irregular bleeding. 7 months later I have had 2 periods that lasted a whole 3 days, very light.  This is the first birth control that I have been on and it is great.  There are a lot of people that have had bad experiences with it and I am sorry.  But I give it a 10."


"I was on the 20 mg of Copaxone for more than 10 years and took a break for about a year.  Felt that I was stable, I felt great, and MRIs were showing no new progression. Recently starting trying to get back on it using the 40 mg for the last three weeks and am getting rashes, hives, headaches and in general feeling worn out and "MS-ey." Just not sure whether to be on it or not at this point."


"This medicine does an excellent job of lowering blood pressure but does a poor job of lowering pulse rate trying to lower atrial fibrillation."


"50 mg twice a day was tolerable but didn't do much for central cord syndrome pain.  75 mg three times a day isn't helping with pain so far, makes me dizzy and puts me to sleep most of the day. I got leg spasms at night after not taking it. Walking around a little stopped the spasms. I'd like to give it a better try, but the side effects prevent me from functioning."


"I have had a lot of additional stress added in the last 4 years... death of a parent, a lot of hurtful things from my other parent, my spouse cheating, then everyday things like the stresses of young children, school, sports, etc.
Over these years I have tried every antidepressant out there! It either didn't work, or it made me feel like a zombie. And they ALWAYS made my sex drive go to zero!
I had given up on every prescription and had not taken anything for almost a year. I had no energy, it didn't take much for me to get annoyed and aggravated with people (including my kids) and I just didn't feel a lot of joy.
My doctor tried me on Viibryd and I feel GREAT! I have great energy, don't lose my temper with my kids or husband, and still have sex drive!"


"Made my depression and anxiety worse.  Caused more instances of suicidal ideation."


"When I was 13 I was rushed to the hospital because I was very anemic due to extreme heavy periods, this wasn't even comparable to anyone I know because I would be changing my pad/tampon every hour and yes it was the haviest pad/tampon there was. After I got my blood transfusion my doctor put me on the birth control pills for 4 day. The worst 4 days of my life I threw up like crazy so then my doctor said I should try the depo shot (which I've been on for almost a year) it's the most wonderful thing ever created! My cramps are gone and I had a little bit of spotting on my first shot but that was normal but now I don't get any bleeding and feel wonderful. Yes, I did gain 10lbs but if you go to the gym you can burn it off very easily."


"Been on Safyral for 6 weeks. I have no complaints. I've never been on birth control but had to go on it due to bleeding for 2 months straight really heavily. My bleeding stopped, I've not had any mood changes, weight gain, acne, or anything. It's regulated my periods and now I'm back to normal. It's been a great first experience with birth control."


"My gastroenterologist put me on Levsin back in 1999 for cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder). It was the ONLY thing that stopped the pain and it worked immediately. After having my gall bladder removed, I would still get severe pains from residual gall stones in the bile duct and IBS. My doctor had me continue taking Levsin for the intense pain, as needed and it always stopped the pain immediately. My intestinal problems have gotten more severe and I am going to ask my new GI doctor (moved to a different state) to write a prescription for Levsin since nothing else I've tried works."


"I was on NuvaRing for about six months. For the first month or two, I had terrible headaches at the end of the days I had class, but everything else was fine. Fast forward to 3-5 months, I was moody, I was even a little depressed, and I had no sex drive. I wanted to eat everything in sight. From the second month to the sixth month, I gained about twenty pounds with no significant lifestyle changes or dietary changes besides the NuvaRing. If you are tolerant of high hormone levels and don't gain weight, this might be a good option for you. It stays in for three weeks and comes out the fourth week for your period (which mine came very regularly while on it). If it wasn't for the significant weight gain, I would have stayed on it."


"Its a great contraceptive, I cant possibly get pregnant Why? Because I've had my period for 6 weeks!This is seriously the worst thing I've ever had."


"I have severe spasticity and this medicine really helps my muscles to relax.  I only take 20 mg a day however if I do need to take an additional pill for the "bad days" I don't suffer any additional side effects...only a bit more sleepier by the end of the day."


"I have been on saxenda for almost 4  months and lost 30 pounds! I am experiencing very little side effects. The only thing that I keep asking myself is once I reach my weight goal, what happens next? am I supposed to just stop the medication? What happens once we stop the medication? Im so afraid to gain the weight back... has anyone reached their goal and stopped the medication? Anyone can share their experience?"


"Excellent pain relief, without constipation associated with the use of narcotics. I didn't find that I got too drowsy from it either."


"I started chantix about 3 weeks ago and I am now 48 hours without a cigarette.  I am very proud I have lasted this long. The problem is I just want to sleep and I am very easy to snap at people. The cravings are only really bad at night. It works though been a smoker for 27 years."


"Before I started taking this medicine, my moods were up and down, anger, anxiety, not sleeping at night, back pain, fear of leaving the house, etc. This medicine has changed my life completely. I don't feel like the same person. I never enjoyed living the way that I do now. I'm up early in the mornings, doing things and being productive, which is so different from what I used to. Thanks to this medicine, I'm actually living. I've tried so many things and nothing else works. Miracle by far. No anxiety, no sleep problems, energy, and relationships are improving so well."


"I had my first migraine and prescribed Fiorinal 40 years ago and back then, then they were occasional.   As I've gotten older, they are more frequent.  This is a problem for my neurologist because Fiorinal is on the restricted use list, here in New York.  We switched me to Fioricet and for three years, that was OK, but then the Tylenol started bothering my liver.

Got a new script for Fiorinal and to my surprise, it only comes in capsule form and in my opinion, does not work as well.  I hope they will bring back the tablet form.  The tablet works the best and I can't understand the need to change to a capsule.  Why reinvent the wheel?"


"I have degenerative disc disease and I'm in constant pain. My doctor gave me this medicine and it works very well. I can do now what I could not do before. I would recommend this medicine to anyone in severe pain."


"It's the best thing for me. It works few hours after taking the pill. I did not experience any of the side effects. It is a great way for someone who is really constipated to get relief fast."


"I had Necritizing fasciitis  before it was even being diagnosed, late 1990-early 1991. After two weeks of fighting it at home (yes, I know, but nurses are incredibly resistant to being hospitalized), I finally went to the ER. They admitted me, of course, and threw every antibiotic they had at it without any improvement. From the first day, they insisted I had burned the leg and I insisted that I had NOT burned it. After two weeks of multiple IV antibiotics with little if any response, one of the docs walked into the room and said that even though I insisted I had not burned it, he was going to treat it like a burn and that he was ordering silvadene. Four days later my leg had improved enough to go home."


"I was prescribed Phentermine 37.5 on April 29, 2016. My DR said to only take half a pill for the first 30 days. I took that first thing in the morning with water. It helped with feeling hungry. The only side effect I had was extreme dry mouth. I just started my 2nd month yesterday, which I will start taking a whole pill but I have noticed I'm feeling hungry more often. I drink 175-200 ounces of water daily, I feel like I cant get enough to drink. I cut out sodas, eat very healthy food and go to the gym 3-4 times weekly. I track my calories on My Fitness Pal and am always under my daily calorie goal. My starting weight was 233, I weighed in this morning, a month later and I've only lost 8 pounds."


"I've been on Trintellix for 6 months and this pill has been a miracle for me! I was on Wellbutrin for 5 months prior, but it ended up giving me anxiety so I switched. I've had depression for over a decade and nothing really took it away -- I did therapy, changed my diet, exercised.. I still felt grey, lifeless and didn't care much if I died. My depression was never overwhelming sadness, it was quite the opposite: I felt nothing. Nothing gave my pleasure. I was just a robot doing what I had to do. It worked quite quickly, about 3 weeks after I started. I will always have depression, but I'm able to cope now. I no longer feel like life is meaningless.. I now do things just for the sake of it. I finally enjoy normal events like everyone else."


"I'm 21 and I've been taking 72mg (two 36mg barrels) a day since I was about 17. Concerta changed my life. I was failing school and no matter how hard I tried, it didn't change anything. I became depressed, slept for 14+ hours a day, I gave up. Then I was prescribed and it changed my life. It keeps me focused, motivated, and energized. Though, the side effects are very real. I don't sleep much, which is why I usually don't take it on weekends to catch up on sleep. It kills my appetite, so I eat a big breakfast before I take it in the mornings. It does elevate my anxiety, and not saying it's something I suggest.. but I smoke cigarettes to help that. Oh, and I don't know if this is common or not.. But it keeps my digestive track regular!"


"Over the course of several months I've developed an eating disorder. I'm a normal weight but I was diagnosed with EDNOS- a combo of binge eating disorder and anorexia- I don't purge but have had significant weight loss in the past. Have tried Wellbutrin XL for past depression, which worked, but it does not curb my appetite as strongly as this one does. I'm taking generic 100mg, I'm not wholly in love with it because it has increased my anxiety, insomnia, and I feel weird- excited, nervous, tingly- and it's not good when I'm trying to study and sit still. I can only get rid of it if I run it off. Don't feel like eating much anymore- 4 days and already "lost" 3 lbs.I eat when I'm physically hungry.Just worried about the side effect of anxiety"


"Works great for cough."


"this is a miracle medication..THANK YOU MERCK!"


"I have taken Ambien, on and off, for several years. I have bipolar disorder, resulting in a chronic sleep problem. 10 mg/day works well for a few months, then I become habituated. I have tried increasing to 20 mg/day, but I eventually become habituated to that dose as well, and neither I nor my doctor will go to a higher dose. Nothing else works as well, so I usually struggle along for a couple of months, then go back to 10 mg/day of Ambien. The other problem I've seen is that I CANNOT  mix it with alcohol. I learned the hard way. I had "waking blackouts" after I'd had a couple of drinks. People told me of things I'd done, of which I had no memory of. "


"I guess perhaps a rating of 1 is unfair, but I've ramped up from 20 to 60MG daily, and I feel nothing. 6 months ago I was taking 40MG/Day and I felt amazing for about 3 or 4 weeks, then it just pooped out on me overnight. Suddenly it was all gone. Very frustrating but my original prescription was from a GP, now I'm seeing a psych. His theory was that I should try something that worked for me previously, but at a dosage level my GP wasn't comfortable with. Anyway, so far I don't feel a thing. Thanks in advance - the info on this forum has been fantastic."


"Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Doc put me on 2.5 mg, with little results but side effects. Raised it to 5mg and I feel worse. I am using sample packs and insurance will not cover. I have noticed improvement in my sugar levels but I have felt worse now having started the pills. Nausea, soft stool, headache, dizzy. All of these and sugar reads only 152. Also, I don't feel rested when I'm sleeping."


"Diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia two days ago. Had a fever of 102 at that point. Within two days, I don't have a fever. I am beginning to cough up the infection where I struggled before. I have to be open and add that I was also given prednisone to take. Between the two, at the end of the second day, I am beginning to feel better. Still a ways off but I feel a difference."


"I worked on my feet for 10  years now and developed restless leg about 2 years ago. No one understands what it is until they've encountered it themselves. I am prescribed Sinemet and I love it. I usually only take it when symptoms start (when those legs start a feeling funny). I am very fortunate because I suffer no side effects. I do not get sleepy and it doesn't bother my stomach. I would highly recommend this medication for anyone who is unfortunate enough to suffer from this."


"I had the Skyla inserted exactly 2 weeks ago, I'm not going to lie the insertion was painful, but not unbearable. The procedure itself lasted no more than 5 minutes. I took 4 Advil and ate breakfast as directed. As soon as my doctor was done I did experience cramps but nothing like I was expecting. It just felt like I was having period cramps. However I did alternate medicine every 2 hours with Advil and Tylenol after the procedure that entire day. I have not had ANY spotting at all.. although I continue to experience "period cramps" almost everyday now. I will say it is 100% percent worth it.. not having to worry about pregnancy."


"It caused severe bleeding and blood clots. I did not have any side effects of blood clots before I took this birth control. I missed so much work due to this pill, I went off cold turkey."


"After a scare I needed birth control asap. I read a lot of reviews which really scared me especially after 2 HORROR experiences on the pill, I was on Loette a low dose pill, and Yasmin. I was an emotional wreck  9kgs. So I got the Implanon and I'm so happy I did, it lasts 3 years, my emotional state is 99% stable and 1% is like PMS, libido is a little lower, did bleed LIGHTLY for 2 weeks but haven't had a period since which I love, fertility is back to normal once taken out. I don't have to worry about becoming pregnant and I generally feel like ME. Everyone is different but don't be scared to try its progesterone only, no estrogen. I lost 6kgs before the Implanon and was scared I'd put it back on but I slowly continued to lose 2kg more."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm 40 and had my first colonoscopy due to family history of colon cancer (recommended 10 years prior to parent's diagnosis). Took first dose at 10:00 a.m., second at 10:00 p.m. (my procedure was at 7:30 a.m.). Was on a clear liquid diet day before which consisted of Jell-O, chicken broth, and popsicles: I chose not to drink fruit juice as some reviews mentioned acidity making diarhea painful.

Suprep tastes absolutely horrendous...super salty, super strong grape Kool-Aid: could/should have mixed with Crystal Light or Ginger Ale. Got first dose down but only half of second as I was gagging... Doctor had to irrigate some but everything looked great and no polyps! Recommend lighter diet 3 days before for easier prep. Procedure was super easy!"


"I have had a severe back injury and have been off work since Nov '06 and I first was on Vicodin and that didn't work anymore so they had put me on the Norco to cover the pain. It works wonders and I take 1-2 around every 4 hrs. BUT it has became very habit forming and I don't see an easy end to trying to cut back or get off these pills. They work great for pain but be careful!"


"Multiple cervical polyps: I have been taking this medication for 3 months, for 14 days each month. Side effects include increased hunger (actually I am pleased about this as I am rarely hungry and don't really enjoy food). I have read that it can cause depression, but for me it is the opposite. I am far less depressed and have more energy and feel less overwhelmed.  The effects only last for the 2 weeks that I am taking it each month.  My body seems to love this medicine.  It is too soon to ascertain whether my polyps have shrunk/disappeared.  I am going to be re-tested in three months.  If it hasn't worked then I am going to try the Mirena coil."


"This works without any problems"


"After taking this pill for 2 cycles, I was acting irrational, having mood swings, night sweats, severe acne and other menopausal symptoms."


"I had these  injections two years ago in my right knee i have been pain free ,but my left leg also started with the same symptoms recently so i went back to my doctor got my confirmation i was a candidate and i just finished my third injection today i must say its helped me regain 100% control again thank you so much..❤"


"Xanax helps with my condition"


"Soma 350mg is a wonder drug for my back pain (L3L4 herinated disc). It can be hard to get, It gave many doctors a bad taste so to speak. I only take it as needed. I have tried just about every muscle relaxer over the years. The only one that comes close to soma is called zanaflex, But there is no contest soma works the best for my back pain. I take it when my pain scale is 7/8 out of 10. It usually takes me down to a 3/4 within 30 to 45 mins. However use this  time to rest your back because the effects of soma do not last very long.  It starts to loose its effect in 2-3 hours. Also it works best for me once a day as needed. I also take tramadol 50mg and gabapentin 600mg for pain."


"For anyone that's had their gall bladder removed, you all know the pain that comes after. I was first prescribed this by accident because doctor thought I had a bile problem associated with gall bladder surgery. He precribed one scoop a day with water. It helped but I took for years and if I missed a day I felt it. A few years later went to a new doctor who knew what this was and he totally changed how and when to take. As soon as I went in to see him he had a half filled water bottle and I would fill the rest with 8 scoops. I would do this for 3 days, after that I would take 4 scoops for 4 days. It seemed crazy but it worked. After 3 days I became constipated and have never had to take again"


"I was finally prescribed Wellbutrin SR after 4 months of treatment with a hospital psychologist. Treatment through other means of talking through my emotions helped some, but there was those thoughts, if you know what I mean. So they started me on the medicine. It was only 100mg 1 time a day, I only took it for 10 days. I felt great for about 10 hours, but in the evening I would feel like I was in withdrawal or like I was in an emotional craving of some sort, kind of hard to describe. I felt edgy at night, was easy to bark at the kids for little or no reason, and I would have deep and serious thoughts about suicide, but those thoughts only lasted about 10 minutes, and then they would go away, as quickly as they had started."


"Diagnosed at 18, went on until 28. I had a miserable existence for 10 years. 5 minutes after eating, I better be near a toilet. Gastroenterologists tested and tried so many different things with no success. Told my GI I was having a substantially lower quality of life with this problem. He prescribed me Welchol. The next day, I enjoyed my first meal in years and cried. Truly was a miracle pill for me."


"I got a 3 months of a free sample. But, I only used 1 month. The first week was great. Then I started the second week and started spotting. I spotted every day till about the end of the pack. My moods were terrible. By the third week I was arguing with my boyfriend which felt like constantly. He told me it was like I was on my period mood wise that whole month. I'm not taking it anymore."


"I've had migraines for 25 plus years and it's almost impossible to get pain medication these days even at an urgent care facility.  My new doctor offered me Cataflam.  I received the generic Diclofenac 50 mg. and was very excited about receiving any kind of help making it through a migraine which sometimes lasts 8 days, sometimes 2 days.  Anyway, I took it three times a day the first two days and sporadically for another two or three days.  It worked very well much to my surprise; however, after that I experienced the stomach burn I read someone else experienced.  I didn't realize what had caused the burning until I read the reviews on this med.  I'm a little afraid to take it again unless I just take it one or two days next time.  Try it."


"I purchase the 1 day ovule, it's been 4 days and I'm getting constant burning and itching. I'm not sure if this gonna cure my yeast infection. Can't get an earlier appointment with my doctor so I'm now in line at the store getting the 3 day pre application tioconozale"


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5 mg on Monday 11-7-16.   I have felt no change in my body.  I do not have dry mouth, racing heart beat.  I don't have a lot of extra energy.   I am still hungry.   I am hoping the pill will "kick" in to help me.  I weighed in at 222.9 lbs at 5'4, on Monday.  I have not lost any weight yet.  My Doctor prescribed this medicine to help me.  I am a little discouraged right now, but will stick with it until I see her again in 4 weeks."


"This is an amazing product, I use it on my whole body and face."


"calms you down instantly"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Taken for 2 months. Love it over Coumadin. Extreme nausea if not taken with lots of water and food. I've had 2 nose-bleeds that worried me. Highly recommend Pradaxa."


"No other medicine helps me get through my pain and through my day like oxycodone. I have been in 2 horrible car accidents and have tried many pain medications, and oxycodone is the only medication that completely takes away my lower back pain. It is a shame that so many people abuse this drug because it works miracles for chronic back pain."


"I was given this medication in the ER (breathing treatment) . It worked wonders for me, it immediately open up my lungs so that I could breath. What a relief!!"


"I am an adult in my late 30's. I have taken this drug off and on for the last year and a half, because my medical doesn't cover it and it is very expensive for me. When I was given samples, my family can see the difference in my thoughts and organization."


"I was glad to read different experiences with this medication, observing side affects and negative reactions. I can't look at a boat, roller coaster, or backseat of a car without immediate nausea. I've used Transderm Scop patches on several occasions and they worked very well with no sign of motion sickness whatsoever. My side affects were mild compared to others--typical dry mouth, slight euphoria, mild giddiness, mild drowsiness. I was careful not to drink much alcohol and to leave the patch on for a day after the expired amount of time as not to shock my system. TS can be expensive. Has anyone used the generic brand(s)?"


"When I find I'm very angry it gives me time to pause and the ability to shake the bad mood I'd normally have afterwards. I rarely experience unjustified sadness, yet when something sad happens I still feel sad. I think it just gives me some breathing room to sort  things out."


"This medicine has been amazing for me. I don't feel high, just like a normal person for the first time in years. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from me. I am very sensitive to medication, so I waited a long time to ask my new doctor for something else. I had been using St. John's Wort for a while and it really helped but I think I became immune to it.

When I started on Lexapro, I cut the 10 mg tablets in half and only took 5 mg for the first few days, then moved to 10 mg. The higher dose made me restless and anxious and unable to sleep, plus stomach cramps. The lower dose has some stomach discomfort and nighttime wakefulness, but antacids and melatonin control it. Plus, I'm losing extra weight!"


"Honestly one of the best treatments for HSV or coldsores around! I start feeling a cold sore coming on (a tingling, burning sensation) and on goes the Zovirax. Instant relief from the pain and the sore stops in it's tracks! Definitely worth every penny of that "


"I've been using Yaz for about 6weeks now and I immediately noticed my skin getting better and my skin getting no clearer. My period has improved so much, it was hell before and now it's shorter and painless. My sex drive improved as well( I didn't expect that). The big problem I have are my mood swings. I am a very happy and charismatic person but now I feel anxious all the time, I'm sensitive over things that wouldn't bother me at all before. I cry all the time. I'm often irritable and sometimes just want toscream at everyone. I hate the emotional effects it has on me but i think the positives outweigh the negatives."


"I was first prescribed fioricet for hormonal headaches during my pregnancy. It was so effective and helped ease the pain. It did make me drowsy. I still use it for chronic headaches as-needed. The only thing I wish for is that it would work a little more quickly. It takes 45min-1hr for my headaches to ease off. Great help all-around, though!"


"Severe Leg pain and swelling in my legs!!

Decreased sex drive

Easy application"


"I have been on this pill for 3 years now. It's the only one I have been on but I have never had bad side effects. My periods last about 4 days, 2 days of heavyish bleeding and 2 days of spotting. No pregnancy yet so it is definitely doing its job."


"I experienced a severe herniation on right side of C6-C7 June 2012. Since, I was put on 4 Medrol packs approximately every 3 months, chiropractor initially and trainer, with Accupuncture 3 months post injury for 10 months. Formal Physical therapy started 10 months post due to increase in right shoulder pain with horrible radiculitus. Good for posture training but one month in I was in the worst pain ever. Nurse practitioner put me in SSRI and Mobic. SSRI alters pain perception, plus I was crying in her office. Mobic worked but short term. Finally, I went to a pain doctor thinking I was being scheduled for a steroid injection when he said, let's try gabapentin first. Pain is GONE on 300mg 3x daily. Can't wean yet but it works!"


"On Norco-10 for 4 years-C4-C5 herniated disc. I went from 3/day to 4 or 5 a day as my tolerance built.  18-20 months ago, doctor suggested Nucynta 100 3x a day.  The max pain relief was just as good as the Norco-10, but I told the doctor that I wanted to go back to Norco because the Nucynta would "crash" me between doses-fell off VERY quickly the last couple hours.

Got to two months ago.  Doctor sends me to a PM specialist because he's not happy with all the acetaminophen.  She puts me on tramadol and tells me to slowly back off the Norco.  First, tramadol didn't work for pain, 2nd it nauseated me BADLY. Told her my history with Nucynta and she put me on 150mg ER 2x/day.  All GOOD 3 weeks later BUT with 1 or 2 Norco as supplements for breakthrough pain. "


"My neurologist prescribed Keppra initially 500 MG in the morning and 500 MG in the eveninig. I was so groggy it was unbelievable. All I wanted to do was sleep. We switched to the XR Keppra 500 MG twice per day at bedtime and it has been much better. Still suffer from some side effects (skin rash, stiff neck) but feeling much better. 8 weeks into it and all appears well!  Good luck to all, I hope this helps."


"I've been on this medication for 1 month. My eyes have the burning sensation that last for about 30 minutes after application. I find the plastic container very difficult to use. It is very small and the plastic is extremely stiff. I have RA and pinching to get the drop out is almost impossible for me. The worst part is the tearing that I have NEVER had before. It last for a few hours, and my eyes are crusted every morning when I wake up. I'm not very pleased with this new RX."


"I love this antipsychotic.  We tried them all and this is the only one that did not give me akathisia - I know another person like me and same thing with him as well.  I have taken 600mg since January and it is fabulous.  Definitely chills me out and calms me down.  Does not put me to sleep though.  That stopped a long time ago - I think you get used to it and the lower doses are more sedating.  I have done some reading though and it has to hit a certain dose (I think 400mg) to actually hit the dopamine receptors, anything lower and it only works on histamine and would not work as a antipsychotic.  I now take the XR version as I was taking the regular version twice a day for psychotic symptoms, I don't take this for sleep.  Very nice overall."


"Took this med for peripheral neuropathy in feet, legs and finger tips from long term untreated hypothyroidism.

300mg 3 times a day.

Very little relief when first started.

Then after a few months the pain got worse.

Also does a number on your stomach.

I stopped it and had no withdraws and feel a whole lot better.

Need to look for something else for this horrible nerve pain."


"I've been taking this medicine for almost a year now and have had little to no side effects. I take 200mg every two weeks by injection. The way that this medicine has improved my life is almost unbelievable. I feel like a teenager again! The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the injections, but it's still worth a little pain to feel so much better!"


"Got the Nexplanon 10/6/16 . I got on it to prevent pregnancy and so far I haven't got pregnant. When I first got on it I didn't bleed for one week. Now most days just a really heavy flow other days golf ball size clots. Recently just started to be both clots and a very heavy flow. Mood swings are bad some times I get really bad cramps where I can't feel from my uterus down & headache are unbearable
I been just sucking it up until I have to get the Nexplanon taken out (10/6/2019)"


"Wow ladies!!!! All I have to say is "wow". This stuff seriously works. I'm 18 years old and I had sex with my boyfriend on the 22nd of January, and while he was pulling out, the condom stayed inside of me. We were worried about any leakage so I decided to take plan b about 18 hours later.  according to my period tracker it said that I was supposed to ovulate on the 21st so I started to freak out thinking I could've been ovulating while I took plan b. My side effects were very little but it did make more anxious about my period starting and a little bit more irritable than I usually am the week before my period. I was only a day late for my period and I could not be happier. This medicine is a lifesaver. Just sit back, relax, and don't stress"


"I couldn't sleep the whole time I took it but I dropped 10 pound in 1 week!"


"I'll start with a little background saying I was suggested this by my doctor after having a history of migraines with aura and gaining 30 lbs on the pill. I got the nexplanon inserted in February and have had it for a month now. I didn't expect to get it inserted the day I did, and wasn't on my period that day which they suggest you should be. I got my period for he first time in seven weeks and it's been far lighter than the periods I normally have. I also usually have long periods and am currently on day 8 with no end in sight. We'll just have to wait it out. But so far, this is doing far better than the pill I tried!! Plus the scar is very minimal and it didn't hurt to get placed. Very minimal room for human error."


"I have used Axid AR since the early 1990's, before it was available OTC. It was the best product on the market for treating ulcers. It worked so well, I use to pay $90.00 for a month's supply of  prescription Axid. No generic was ever created that could compete with Axid's relief."


"I couldn't sleep at all.  It made my heart beat fast.  Overall physically I felt very uncomfortable and unstable. I stopped it and went back to Zyprexa."


"I love my nexplanon! I was worried because of all the bad reviews I saw and the horror stories of weight gain, mood swings, and acne. I have had my implant in for a month now, and have had no bad side effects other than my light acne returning. I was on a pill that cleared it, but now that I'm not, it's back. I have had no mood swings, weight gain, or bad spotting. I did spot for a week or two after first getting it, but it was brief. Insertion was a breeze. Overall, I would recommend trying this if you're looking for an effective method! Worst case scenario, you have it taken out."


"I was on the shot for almost a year in October I went to my doctor today for my shot I am still bleeding I bled for a week straight I want to stop bleeding I had blood clots for 3 days the blot clots stopped now I am bleeding heavy before my shot my doctor said the lining of your    Uterus sheds that Is why I was bleeding I know that when I am on the birth control needle it takes a week to work I hope that the bleeding will finally end so I can stop using pads."


"Since puberty I had been diagnosed by everything under the sun except for what I really suffered, and have taken so many different medications the names have become a blur. Finally was diagnosed at 34 with bi-polar disorder type 1 compounded by bouts of clinical depression. I was given Triazadone, but couldn't take the vivid nightmares. Depakote, which gave me migraines. Finally found a good therapist who got me on Zoloft. It took a good 4 to 6 weeks for it to accumulate in my system and I did have the runs for the first couple of weeks, but it made a huge difference in my life. Just the thought of some Doctor taking me off Zoloft makes me panic. I never want to go back to my life before Zoloft."


"This is my first BC.  For about the next 3-4 months, I had irregular periods with spotting here and there. This month, I totally skipped my period, as of right now I'm 17 days late. Took a test and it came back negative, so I can attest to the missed period thing - don't be too stressed when/if it happens (if you take your pills correctly)!
First couple months I cried a lot and had terribly sore boobs. They also grew from a 32B to a 32D though, so I'm not mad.
NO nausea at all.
A few migraines.
I'm not pregnant and we use withdrawal and never use condoms, so this pill is extremely effective and gives me that extra assurance for the lowest estrogen count. I'm a fan! 9/10 because of the scary missed period thing."


"Cefdinir is a good medication and has worked for both sinus and ear infections that I have had.  All doctors should also inform their patients you MUST take a probiotic while on this medication.   It eliminates the diarrhea, headaches and many other side effects I am seeing in the responses below."


"I'm a 6'0 tall female and started using adipex and b6 b12 lipotrophic injection once a week in november. My starting weight was 387. 5 and 7 weeks later and now I weight 366. 9. That's a 20. 6 lb weight lost. When I started the med I experienced dry mouth and sleeplessness, but those symptoms disappeared about 3 weeks after starting the meds. I watched what I ate and  completely eliminated sweets and soda out my diet. I started walking 50 minutes 3-4 times a week. Prayer and adipex has changed my life. I tried so many diets and this has been the first time that i've lost any weight. I still have a long way to go, but I'm so amazed that's i've lost any."


"I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I was first prescribed Concerta. Since Concerta is part instant release and part extended release it starts working extremely quick, within 15-30 minutes, which was nice because there was no need to time things out when taking the medication. Unfortunately, Concerta starts working immediately and also stops working immediately which for me led a horrific crash. I was irritable and angry after the medication wore off. Due to this my doctor switched me to Vyvanse. Vyvanse is a prodrug which means the actual drug inside the capsule is not therapeutically helpful until it gets broken down in the body. This allows for a nice steady come up and no crash when the medication is eventually excreted."


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


"Worked when no SSRI couldn't"


"I have been on Advair Diskus for only 2 days and already I feel like I have much more energy, and I don't wheeze like I used too. Haven't had to have my inhaler in 2 days either. Time will tell lets hope I have found something that works and I can get back to a normal lifestyle."


"I really wanted this medicine to work.  My doctor gave me a sample and I tried it for a week.  Then I got my prescription filled.  After two more weeks me face started turning red in the middle of the day.  I don't mean a little pink, I mean red, almost purple.  It would take several hours to subside.  My nose was affected worst.  In order to determine if the Mirvaso was the cause, I started using it on only one side of my face.  Sure enough, the side with the Mirvaso turned extremely red during the day.  I am going to stop using this medicine.  It was very expensive, but did not work for me."


"Works perfectly. No side affects at all."


"I've been taking Saphris for about 6 months and it's been a wonder of a miracle! I can finally function and accomplish daily tasks. Before I was depressed all the time now I have lots of energy and I think more clearly. It's heaven sent."


"This medication literally saved my husband's life. He has been on OxyContin for 16  years. He's tried everything! He truly thought he'd have a heart attack from pushing. Dr gave him samples of Movantik, 30 min later, a BM. No problem. Been the same story for over a month.

I saw so many negative reviews, and I'm so sorry this did t work for you... I hope you find the one thing that does!"


"I'm taking Benicar 40mg for High Blood Pressure 163/100 on average I'm slightly overweight (47. Benicar has actually reduced my dizziness I had prior to taking blood pressure medicines. I tried water pills but blood pressure got worse. My doctor knows I'm the kind of patient that will stop taking medicines that bother me so she skipped the lisinopril and went straight for the Benicar and I'm glad she did although day 4 now and my blood pressure is 124/58 ...sort of low after being in the 100's a few days ago. Maybe I'll need the 20mg but love the focus and energy I have again and the looser bowels are an additional perk! Knees stopped hurting from arthritis too."


"I've taken countless birth controls mainly because I used to have awful, heavy periods and I have had to switch numerous times due to a problem always arising with the BC I take. I have always had clear skin. Not perfect; a breakout here and there, but nice skin. I have been on June Fe for 2 months now and my skin is horrendous. I have back acne. My chest is even breaking out. I have bumps all over my forehead and cheeks (I have NEVER had acne on my cheeks) and even starting to come up on my neck. Do NOT take this for acne. Luckily, I haven't had any severe mood swings or depressions which is why I switched BC pills last time. I heard this medication was bad about making you crazy or depressed. All I know is this stuff made me break out bad"


"I got prescribed 250 mg of azithromycin (500 mg on the first day, 250 mg for four more days.) I had a bad experience. I am psychosomatic and I don't think that mixed well. I had a large panic attack during school that lasted about an hour. I experienced extreme stomach pains and auditory hallucinations. Would not recommend. It is getting rid of my bronchitis, but it's not worth it."


"Saphris does not taste good; it leaves my tongue slightly numb. I've experienced no side effects so far in the 2 weeks I've been on it. I have experienced relief from symptoms from disorders."


"I been on Oxycontin for 6 years now, of course my PM doc gave me the lowest dose and worked up from there. I am at the maximum amount they will give me which is 80mg 3 X a day plus, Oxy IR 30mgs 3 times a day plus Soma 350mg 3 times a day, it may seem like a lot but over the years my body developed a tolerance to this medicine but now I have been on this same dose for 3 years and it is perfect, no need to take anymore but the bad thing is the DEA inspected my docs office and asked him to switch all of his patients off of Oxycontin to morphine so now I am on the morphine. I am finding that it does not work as good as the Oxycontin."


"Ok... My bf and I had sex unprotected during Ovaluation and I do NOT use BC. So , the chances of me becoming pregnant are reasonably HIGH. AND at the time I was taking Amoxicillin bc I was getting a root canal so my dentist prescribed for precaution of infection. Docs say that you can't mix these two drugs bc Plan B won't work BUT I hadn't been consistent bc of the Amoxicillin side effects and stopped taking it about four days prior to using Plan B. I was a nervous wreck bc I thought plan b wouldn't work. Long story short IT DID WORK !!! I took plan B the same day just maybe 4/5 hrs after unprotected sex. I was lucky enough to not have any side effects of plan b and my period came right on time today (almost 2 wks from taking the pill)"


"Prescribed 6.25 mg Carvedilol 2x a day for my Rapid heart beat and blockage in main artery. .  Second week and I am not liking it.  Was on 25 mg Metoporal for 10 years; tolerated it well except for years of sleeplessness and it kept my bp in good range 128/77.  Now on Carvedilol my bp is higher with spikes.  I feel off, dizzy, vivid dreams turning into nightmare last night.  First few days I was having bad stomach pains until I started taking med after food.  I am afraid to take any other medications like Allergy meds and Ibuprofen.  I am also waking up with a headache and felt like I was having an allergic reaction. Rapid heart beat a little less.  Maybe side effects will subside?  I hope."


"I took medicine for first time and had an allergic reaction. The palms of my hands and bottom of my feet were itching so bad! Then my entire body starting itching, even my private areas. "


"This is the second time i have been on TriNessa and it is not working for me. I regularly get very moody and overly sensitive to everything followed by crying for nothing. I have had blurriness in my right eye and severe migraines almost everyday. I originally went on Trinessa for acne, it didn't help at all, it actually got worse. And I noticed that my periods are longer and cramps are a lot worse."


"I've had moderate to severe low back pain for over 20 years due to herniated discs. After years of being handed Percocet (which only worked about an hour for me) and everything up to straight OxyContin, I think I have found something that works!  It's only been about a month, but in combination with Percocet, the severe pain has been minimized. I gave it an 8 because I never want to over hype a medication and I've only been on this about a month."


"I've been taking Viibryd for 3 weeks now, up to 40 mg, switched from Zoloft.  I find that I have to take it at night to avoid being drowsy during the day, but everyday around 7:00 p.m, I start getting what feels like little electric shocks throughout my body.  "


"I've been on this pill for almost 4 years.  I absolutely love it I've had no problems nor side affects.  I started taking this BC because I had severe painful acne all over my face and the my doc decided since I wasn't in any BC this should help clear up my acne and be protected at the same time.  Although I didn't want to take it because my husband and I wanted to try for another baby right after I had my son that was 4 years she ago.   So In December of 2016 I stopped taking it because now my son is 4 and we want to try for another baby and it sucks as much as I want a baby I wish I can still take it I'm gaining weight. Im getting acne all over again.  And well I have not gotten pregnant yet.  If I don't get pregnant by July I'll be back"


"I had a awful reaction to this medication, while I was in the ER. I felt like my whole body was on fire and I wanted to crawl up the walls. It was giving to me because it is a none narcotic medication because I am allergic to a lot of the stronger pain medication's. This is one more I can add to my list of adverse reaction."


"Justin became very shaky, weak, lost stability that he has not gained back. He went into massive seizures when on the drug. After two hospitalizations, we took him off. It has been over a year and he continues to have difficulty with standing up in the mornings and walking all the time."


"Took this as a cold medicine because I can't stop coughing. Was all fine and dandy and went out to dinner. Halfway there I had to stop because I felt gurgling in my stomach. Sure enough- diarrhea. I should have listened to the reviews- do NOT take this medicine."


"I've been on Fentanyl patches (100 mcg) for a decade with Methadose for breakthrough. The Methadose was discontinued when our state legislature decided they'd place a cap on the daily dose for opioids. Fentanyl was nothing short of miraculous for spinal pain, but it didn't touch the pain in my bones. My physician added Nucynta recently. I had serious doubts, but I discover the Nucynta worked. Something nothing else had done. I had to fight to for MONTHS get it approved (covered). Eventually, it was approved. But only for a year. We'll be forced to fight it out once more next Spring. :(

No side effects at all!"


"I had gone through a wide variety of SSRI's before my doctor recommended these. This medication has seriously changed my life and I feel like I have more control about how certain things make me feel.
I am Bipolar 2 taking 200mg and I don't ever want to get back to the state I was in before. Having tried around 5 different types of medication I have finally found the one."


"The only reason I'm not giving Kyleena a 10 is because of my acne. I am going into my 3rd month of having this IUD. I switched from a low dose birth control pill. I love the IUD because I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday! The first two months have been rough. I have broke out all over my face, chest, and back. Nothing will make it go away it's so bad.  The 1st month was okay didn't have much spotting just for about 3 days and it was light. The second month I got my period right on time but had it for 17 days straight. Also found a cyst on my right ovary. I'm just now starting to get more energy but I have been exhausted for the last two months. I will update again after being on it for 3 months."


"I know that many, including myself are not in favour of the pharmaceutical industry yet, when this drug literally saves your life, i.e. prevents suicidal ideation, can you really hate the industry, then? Think about that."


"I know most of what you see online about Nexplanon is negative. But I've had it for a month and my life has changed. I've been on the Apri pill for two years and during that time I had extremely low sex drive, horrible anxiety and dissociation, and had chronic yeast/bacterial infections. I was moody and exhausted all the time. Since getting the Nexplanon implant my life had increased drastically. Before it was both emotionally and physically difficult for me to have sex with my boyfriend, now my sex drive has increased 10 fold and I can easily have sex whenever I want to. I have increased energy and haven't been anxious in weeks when I would have daily anxiety attacks before. Everyone has a different experience but mine is amazing."


"I got my mirena but in on September 28th on my 6 week post parteum appointment. My OBGYN talked so highly of it and actually talked me into it. I cramped so bad while having it put in. After it was all put in I felt fine...until I was driving home. Ever since then I've had unbearable cramps, some days it's hard to get out of bed to pick up my son. I had spotting on and off up until October 7th. I've been bleeding more than my normal period and more intense cramps. I don't know how much more I can take of this. I'm trying to stick it out until Wednsday because if this is a normal period it should be gone by then. I've only had sex once since I've had it because of all the bleeding, it's honestly taken a toll on mine and my husbands sex life."


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


"Intal is the one drug that brought my asthma under control, in 1974, when I was 18 years old.

It pains me to know that I now must buy it from sources outside of North America."


"This medicine along with wellbutrin has stabilized me and helped me become happy again. I've also quit taking anything for "ADD."

Compared to what I've experienced while bipolar, most difficulties I have, now seem trivial. Just keep trying every day and when you feel like giving up tell yourself you haven't even started to fight. Keep a sense of humor about things too. "


"This product is great! I suffer from adult acne and i finally found something that works. At first it used to burn my skin, so what I did was to use a very small amount only for one hour every couple of days. Then when the skin wasn't getting burned anymore I used it for two hours, and then three and so on. Now I use it all night about 3 times a week and my skin is 100% acne free! Hope this helps!"


"So I got the skyla about a month ago and honestly I was terrified but I was pleasantly surprised. The insertion took almost no time at all, and it was pretty uncomfortable for maybe a minute? Afterwards I had cramps that weren't killer but still kind of bad. The cramps went away a day or two later... then I got my period. I have had it for 3 weeks now and my doctor told me not to use a tampon until I had my one month appointment. Truthfully that has been the worst part and it better be damn worth it!!! (Reading these reviews made the experience x20 worse)"


"I'm 50 and in very good physical shape. I recently divorced and found myself back in the game. I've never had any issues with my wife and always had a solid performance. However, my first post marriage sexual encounter was a disaster. I just could not perform even though I was very excited to be with my new "friend". My doctor gave me a sample pack of 3, 20mg Cialis tabs. He said it was performance anxiety and not really a health dysfunction considering my healthy history. He was absolutely correct. My next encounter was amazing with a solid non-stop performance. I took 1 tab 2 hours prior with great success. But even stronger the next day and continued for 3 days. So for me the peak was 6 hours and beyond. Very happy!"


"It works very well for pain..it gives seniors energy to function and the side effects are very mild, if any. "


"I was on this drug for a long time and the only thing I can report is that I felt like a zombie most of the time, was so tired that I could barely function ( lost my job as a result of it ), and had absolutely no desire for sex whatsoever. I rarely felt that I was thoroughly enjoying anything that was going on in my life, it completely numbed me out to a traumatic experience that I should have been dealing with and as a result of being on it I did not fully process that experience until getting off of the medication... That and the withdrawal symptoms were debilitating, and terrible. Brain zaps are not a fun experience and they were bad with this one."


"I began taking Clonidine when I was 10 years old (now 20) because I had ADHD and the medication for that kept me up at night. I started on .1 mg & over the first year I was moved up to .3 mg & ever since then I've just been on the same .3 mg. It has always helped me sleep well & that was never a problem after I began taking it. Although, I quit taking the medication for ADHD many years ago but I am still dependent on the Clonidine. & it isn't bc I necessarily cannot sleep without it. I often don't have any problems sleeping without it but if I forget to take it one night I am extremely sick the next day; very dizzy and I just feel off the entire day."


"I took celexa many years ago and when I stopped taking it I developed brain zaps a common side effect of withdrawal. After one month of quitting celexa I started hearing voices telling me to harm others. It got so bad that I started attacking people with a knife. I was arrested by the police. During trial I was found not criminally responsible (NCR). I was suffering from psychosis. I was sent to a secure hospital. I spent a year in there  I saw the review board and they said I was a significant threat to the safety of the public because I told my doctor I felt like killing more people. "


"I have hurt for the last 3 weeks really bad.  I hurt so bad. I have taken 3 antibiotics the last 3 weeks. I finally decided it was enough and went to my Urologist. I was in so much pain. I was in tears. It was nonstop pain. My urologist told me that I had a stone or stones. My urologist prescribed me a pain med and Flomax.  I thought Flomax was just for men. I looked it up and found out that it is used for kidney stones. I have taken Flomax once a day since Thursday and now I have no pain. I feel I passed the stone early this morning or it moved somewhere else. I am not hurting. I am so glad. I don't even know how to act, because I have been in so much pain for so long. I am set up for a CAT scan on Monday."


"This worked for me but it left me with dark spots...which made me have to use something else, but overall it made my pimples go down everyday, especially if I left a dot on the pimples."

"I was on this birth control for about a year and a half and at first I liked it. I had completely stopped having a period all together. It is very convenient only having a shot every three months instead of taking a pill every day. But after about 6 months I had a change in appetite and was hungry all the time and in a years time I gained 30 pounds. My acne seemed to get worse and nothing would help. I went off the drug about a month ago and have already lost 10 pounds. It would be a great choice if not for those side effects."


"Acts very quickly and definitely feel the calming effect. The only downsides is that it doesn't last very long (2-3 hrs max, maybe even less) and you quickly build up a tolerance for it so you end up having to take much more the more you use it."


"I take 50mg Trazodone before bed. It helps me get a full night's sleep and eases my depression during the day. I don't think I'd benefit from taking it first thing in the morning because it's a very sedating drug. I also find Trazodone to be an affective long-term pain killer.

Trazodone doesn't belong to any of the common classes of anti-depressant so it doesn't kill my libido like SSRIs and SNRIs tend to do."


"I am 41 years old and have struggled all my life with acne.  Having done Roaccutane, Minocycline and every other medication and topical ointment.  At 41 I was over acne.  This is a miracle medicine.  Skin cleared up in about 7 days and is absolutely flawless.  Can't speak highly enough of this medicine. I am acne free for the first time in my life.  Ask your doctor about this."


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


"Could only last 1 week on medication.  Side effects were pretty intense.  Dizziness, "zoned out" feeling, flat affect, tension in muscles.  I did lose 3 lbs during the week I was on it but gained it right back once I stopped."


"Celexa has alot of ingredients that you do not need. Lexapro is cleaner more potent form of celexa. Celexa is not ment for anxiety. I am seeing alot of placebo effects on here. I swear alot of these comments are from the celexa company"


"I had rotator cuff surgery to in June. Physical therapy has been going great and I was off Vicodin. Last week my shoulder started to hurt a lot and my range of motion was getting smaller.  Then I noticed a large lump on the top of my shoulder. Went back to orthopedic surgeon and I have now developed a grade 2 AC joint sprain. Was prescribed Medrol 4mg dose pak and Vicodin.  Took 3 of the 6 pills so far today and already the pain is decreasing. I can finally move my arm a little without pain. Love this drug."


"I had to take this pill 4 months ago because the condom broke but I didn't have a good experience. After we found out everything, we went to Walgreens and purchased the pill - pretty expensive for just one pill. I took it 10 mins later (after sex) then fell asleep. A couple days later I experienced the worst abdominal pain and nausea, basically almost all the side effects listed except for vomiting. But hey it worked! I didn't get pregnant."


"The price keeps going up and up while the Yen is getting weaker.  $100 retail increase in the last year alone.  No suitable generics.  Over $700 retail for 90 days this year.  $600 last year.  These appear to be fake prices.  Canadian prices are significantly less, but...  Insurance monthly charge went up as well as the amount they would cover went down.  Insurance doesn't have in formulary, and alternatives are "deadly"."


"Took this twice about 5 days apart.  The first time I was awake all night. The second time I was awake but also thought I could jump out of my skin. It would be like restless leg (which I don't have) except it's your whole body. Scary drug !  Called my Doctor & told them to put it on my chart as allergy."


"Awful. I had this inserted after my 3rd child in November 2015 for use of birth control and irregular periods. I had this removed just after 3 months because I bled (not spotted) every single day. Post removal, I have been still bleeding for 2 weeks straight. I used this device in conjunction with the pill to try to stop the spotting/bleeding and that did not work at all. I'm on my 4th pack and I still bled with the lowest dose of the pill while on the IUD. The strings also poked my partner during sex so my OB shortened them. At time of removal, he tried several times to take the IUD out because the strings were so short. Mirena should be taken off the market. This non stop bleeding is worse than I've ever experienced. DO NOT GET THIS IUD!"


"Started on Triumeq exactly 1 month. Trying to understand that viral meds can have some side effect. This one has not been a pleasant experience. By all accounts I am very active and have a vigorous job that needs me to be alert. This med has worn me down physically and emotionally. I have no energy and Bad headaches. My body is achy constantly and the overall feeling of waiting to puke. I had to remove myself from work untilll I can figure if this is indeed the results of medication. I am beginning to think it is. The labs will tell more. I have never experienced sides before on any other meds. I was switching because of cholesterol #'s. I will most likely go back to Atripila. I have been living w this disease for 30 years."


"As a 28yr old male with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, I thought my fun may be over. Cialis is great. Had no idea I was having erectile dysfunction issues, until after my first 5mg daily dose. Feel as if I'm 16 again and burning through a large box of condoms. Hope my body doesn't become used to the meds and fail me. Thanks Cialis for the workout!"


"This medication has helped tremendously. I went from having 15+ headaches a month that were a 8 or 9 to 2-3 headaches a month that are a 3 at most. For me it worked extremely well."


"Crestor, Lipitor, in fact all statins except Livalo gave me severe muscle pains 24/7. Having Post Polio Syndrome the situation was exacerbated. Livalo gave me no pains at all for the 6 or so years I have been taking it."


"Dalliresp did open me up but the side effects were bad so I had to stop it.  Diarrhea, nausea so bad I had to take medicine for it.  "


"I've been on the same BC for 4 yrs. I had break through bleeding & my Dr switched me to Taytulla. She gave me 3 month supply. I'm pretty sure Dr are being paid to give out samples. Went to pharmacy to get the prescription and it's $500/month. Forget that! So I'm trying the 3 samples to see if I like it enough to get the generic. I've only done a month & I've had bad mood swings, bad headaches, bad body acne I've never had before, super tender breasts, and vaginal discharge every day. I know when start BC you get symptoms but I didn't expect this from going from one BC to another.  I'll take a pregnancy test in a week to make sure I'm not pregnant and give it another month to see of any of this goes away. But so far, DO NOT take Taytulla"


"I'm nineteen and took the monistat 1day treatment about four days ago for what I self diagnosed as a yeast infection. I took it just before bed, and about three hours later woke up in such intense pain I've never felt anything so bad. Now, the itching is still there, I'm excreting the product daily, and I think I've had a bad reaction, because now there is a pimple like bump near my opening which was definitely not there before.

     I'm a virgin, and I took the monistat test before taking the one day to see if it was bv or not, I got normal results. My advice; go to a gynecologist before using. I realize now that the warnings are there for a reason."


"My son (6yrs) is on Focalin in the morning and Tenex in the late afternoon. They have put him on it twice and was the same way both times. He was bouncing off the walls, pulling his hair out, very very smart but. He had an answer for everything and everybody. It was a complete disaster. We could not go anywhere and do anything. He had awful fits. We now take Focalin 20 in morning and Focalin  5 in the afternoon. I'm not so sure that's working either."


"I have been on Saxenda since October 13, 2016 - and have lost 19 pounds.  I started off on a very gradual increase in dose which helped with side effects.  I only feel nauseated when I eat foods that I should not be eating.  The medication does reduce your appetite - so you need to ensure that you are eating regularly.  I am very happy with the results so far as it is helping to motivate me to make overall lifestyle changes - eating better and exercising.  Still enjoy a little treat - but am careful not to eat anything that will upset my stomach.  I would encourage anyone dealing with obesity to give this drug a try.  It truly works and the side effects can be managed if you are committed to eating healthy foods."


"It does absolutely nothing.  I used the HFA and it was more effective.  The new one it is just fancy, too expensive and it does not work."


"Liver problems, severe stomach pain, severe constipation, memory issues, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, nausea to name just a few. Otherwise it took my knee pain away."


"I've been on many medicines since I found out I had endometriosis back in 2010. I've went through six surgeries and nearly every medication out there, including IDUS, Nuva Rings, Implanon, birth control pills, shots, etc. I've been on Aviane now for seven weeks; I have bleed my first three weeks into it, had two weeks of spotting, and now back to bleeding again. I have much faith that the doctor insures me that this medicine takes time to kick in. Over the last three weeks I have gotten headaches, sick to my stomach, bleeding, odd rashes on legs/leg pain. These are very minor side effects compared to some other things I've tried. Holding out hope that this works. My opinion is everyone should give it a try. Side effects are minor compared to most."


"My mother, grandmother and I all get frequent urinary tract infections. I felt a terrible one coming and took Macrobid. The discomfort was almost immediately gone. I took it with 2 pieces of toast and had no side effects whatsoever and I am the type of person that usually does."


"I started taking this birth control almost 2 years ago. I was very nauseous for the first few weeks but it subsided and seemed to be going great! A few months ago, I missed one pill and took 2 within a few hours of each other and ended up throwing up (my own fault). Lately, I have been struggling with horrible anxiety (18 years old about to leave for college) and I have had awful nausea and low sex drive with my boyfriend. I am not sure if these are symptoms of my birth control or just anxiety. Around the time my period tracker says I'm ovulating, my discharge seems to be very thick and mucus like. I'm not sure this is normal. Otherwise, absolutely affordable and seems to be reliable!"


"I have never left a review for anything in my life, but because of my experience, I decided to share.  I had unprotected sex on my most fertile day of the month and I was panicking.  I panic even when I use birth control, so I was super stressed out.  I took the pill between 10-11 hours after the incident, and the next two weeks I experienced constant cramps, I was super tired, and my breasts were super sore. I was "sure" these were pregnancy symptoms. Plus, I read a million things on the Internet, like I'm sure you all have done, (or you wouldn't be here,) and apparently I am over the "weight limit."  but here I am, 2 weeks later, and my period came right on time! Like everyone else has said, this pill works wonders. Do not stress!"


"After 3 days of initial Prednisone 20mg, the 1st day of Indocin I went from 8-2 on the pain scale! I was so grateful! And NO side effects!"


"Diagnosed in 2006 with severe Crohns disease. Tried a dozen medications and never had any success or even close to finding remission. Consistent pain, diarrhea, naesua etc.....started Lialda 1.2GM once daily 4 days ago. My pain, naesua and everything stopped within a few hours of first dose except diarrhea,  its actually gotten worse and completely watery. Is this normal and if so how long does it typically last. I am SO happy to being 100% pain free for the first time in 7 years without having to use a pain killer just want the diarrhea to stop so I can be more active outside of the hone with my children."


"I'm 41 years old. Smoker and diabetic type II (I exercise regularly and watch my diet so my blood sugars are under control). I've been having problems since I was 16 and they have been because of a psychological nature. After a few months of dating a girl I'd be okay.

Started dating a younger woman and didn't want to disappoint her in case (like most relationships) she thought I didn't find her attractive. Tried Viagra first. Worked awesome and effects lasted for a while. Tried Cialis. Wow. Lasted the weekend. I felt like I was already dating her for a few months now.

I did get headaches and runny nose, but so worth it!

Not good for quick sessions though. It's not the sensitivity that's an issue, you just want to keep going."


"Sooo, I only had the shot once I first got it on the 2nd day of my period at the end of June. My period continued regularly then the whole month of July I didn't get a period then at the end of August I started bleeding it's now the beginning of September and I'm still bleeding (3weeks) I'm due to go back sept 15 to get the shot but  I'm kinda reconsidering."


"I started taking Orilstat 4 weeks and 2 days ago as advised by my doctor.
I have 5kg so far. I exercise 4 times a week, roughly 8 hours in total. The tablets have worked for me. They do have side effects but I was warned by my doctor.
Combined with reduced calorie intake and exercise, these tablets work!"


"It's okay"


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


"I am getting the Nexplanon removed tomorrow and I can not wait!! I started the birth control in October of 2015 and the first 6 months was completely fine. This past year or so has been horrible!! I have been on my period for the past few months on and off. I have no idea when it is going to come or go.  As if that's not bad enough, I have been depressed/ very irritated. I cry every day about the tiniest things that make me upset. Before I started this birth control I was not an emotional person at all. Now I cry ALL THE TIME. It makes me feel like I'm truly depressed but I don't have anything to be sad about. I have zero sex drive as well because I am always so tired and just not in the mood. Can't wait to get rid of this thing!!"


"I've been on this pill for 7 months now. In the beginning I was worried from reading all the reviews that said how awful it is. For me my breast got bigger (which should be a plus). I didn't notice much about weight change from the pill. I started it near summer going into college and I may have gained 1 pound from eating junk food in the summer. As far as my acne I have always had clear skin. The pill didn't affect my acne or anything. The pill didn't lessen my period until like 2 months ago. It's a light period usually. Except I have more cramps and bloating than not being on the pill, which is odd. "


"I had to stop taking  nitro-dur 5 coz my neck got so sore & stiff .
I tried it for three days each day the same pain .every  after noon I had to remove the patch which when done the pain was gone after 30-40 minutes after"


"I've been on Qvar 40mg 2 shots twice a day, for over 12 months. My morning cough disappeared when I first started taking Qvar,then after several months it started again. I've also noticed that I've been having more sinus issues and respiratory infections. Flu like symptoms. I'm 66 and usually never get sick,but I believe Qvar has compromised my immune system. I've also notice a lack of energy and upper back pain and muscle aches in my thighs. My voice has be affected also. I don't know why my doctor has me twice the recommended dosage. I have early stages of emphysema. I wonder if the side effects of Qvar are worth it.....I'm going to stop Qvar and see what happens. I tired of feeling sick and rundown."


"I had a bad experience with Zyprexa. It made me very drowsy and I gained a lot of weight. May be good for someone else. I did not find it helpful in my situation."


"I have been taking this for about 2 months. I've never had acne until I took this pill. I'm hoping that by stopping it and switching to another pill the acne will dissapear. Not only that but i experienced shortness of breath while sitting at my desk and was gasping for air for at least 20 minutes :( that was the day I stopped taking the pill."


"Wonderful drug for ankylosis spondylitis patient"


"I suffered from severe muscle pains/joint pains, which I had been having for about a year, increasing in intensity, until I even had a few mornings where it was difficult getting out of bed. My doctor did extensive labs. Everything was normal except my thyroid which was VERY low. Two weeks after beginning Levothroid, 95% of my pain had vanished."


"After a few hours of taking the first pill, I felt slightly sick and sleepy. I woke up feeling down and took the next pill, about three hours later I was nauseous and sick to my stomach. I threw up after the 5 hours of nausea and finally felt a little better. On the third day I didn't take it because I was already feeling emotional and depressed, not to mention still sick and slightly week.

A birth control pill has never affected me this way before."


"Twisted my back and taking this medication for back spasm.. Works well in my opinion"


"I used this drug to quit smoking and it worked great. I did have a little nausea but it was not bad.  It took the craving away and made it easy to quit. I only had to take the pills for a month."


"Ive been taking Seroquel/quetiapine for about 4 months now and I feel its definately helped with controlling hypomania as well as helping me to control anxiety. Also, I can keep to a regular sleeping schedule now!

I HAVE LOST WEIGHT since starting to take quetiapine, and I have absolutely no appetite. Before taking this drug, I was scared I'd gain weight (like most people) but it just didnt happen. Rather, I need to remind myself to eat a little throughout the day or I'll have no energy because I just dont feel like eating period.

One more thing: I felt too sleepy to drive after taking my a.m. dose, but after a couple of months the a.m. dose doesn't make me feel too sleepy anymore.

I feel better in general."


"I use 3/40mg Oxycontins a day with 10 5/325mg Percocet and it works wonders. Family members frown about the dosage and the fact that I am 26 and have been on pain medicines for a couple years but it takes away 80% of my pain. I just recently started taking the Oxycontin and it works great. I think this is a miracle drug. I have a 8 month old child (first one) and I am able to play with him and pick him up which I couldn't do before these."


"Both generic and Flonase work for me.   Been using them for several years.  Must use every day to see effects."


"I had classic fibromyalgia symptoms, after researching many things that would fall into this category, and I was at the point where I was about to give up, literally. I had become depressed, after dealing with fibromyalgia for so long, it had broken me. I have a lot of will power, and normally would have laughed at the thought of taking my own life, but after about 2 years of these symptoms, it was winning, and didn't think I could go on for much longer. So, after trying a couple different medications, I was put on Cymbalta. This medication saved my life. It has reduced my pain levels by at least 2-3 points on a ten point scale, and fixed my mood as well. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with this medication."


"Do not get the shot. I got the shot a while ago at first everything was alright but then I got my period which I've had forever now it will not go away. I get the worst headaches that I've ever had before and they last all day and I get them everyday. I feel sick. And I also have started to feel super moody and sad out of no where. My body gets achey and I am starting to gain weight definitely will not be getting the shot again it's not worth it."


"I was experiencing major anxiety which I only have when I have major life changes.  After getting engaged, moving, planning a wedding, and changing jobs the anxiety kicked in full force.  Doctor put me on Zoloft, which make me very very nauseous. Lost 10 pounds on it, was miserable as it also caused more anxiety and moodiness. Doctor gave me trials of Pristiq...AMAZING. I had not realized how closed off I was until I tried Pristiq.  It increased my ability to have relationships with friends, my fiance, and even family.  Prior to Pristiq, I was very shy and untrusting of everyone. Tried Lexapro too due to insurance requirements. Dislike - for me it caused weight gain, clench jaw, moodiness.  Long process to find the right medicine!"


"I was prescribed Effexor for anxiety and depression and  while it does work in some ways, it is not worth it. I was taking 75 mg once a day and it seemed to make me feel calmer and a little more at ease at first, but the side effects made me decide to stop it, and coming off was terrible. My side effects were inability to get any good sleep, taking forever to climax during sex, and never being able to get anything done. The overall feeling I felt was that everything just seemed blunted. Once I stopped the withdrawals were horrible. I felt hungover for about 4 days. In addition to that during the withdrawal time I would sometimes feel like I could just explode and punch a hole in the wall for no reason. Would never try again."


"I smoked about 3 packs a day, went down to 2 packs. I started taking Chantix it took me about a month and I stopped. I really have recommend this product to a lot of people, it really helped me so very much. I am post 1 year and 3 months and I feel so much better no pains in my chest,legs,arms just no pain at all."


"I have been taking this pill for about 2 months now and I can already see a difference in my flow its getting a lot lighter and I had very bad cramps before and now I have none at all.Also I this pill didn't cause me to gain any weight ,my weight has stayed the same and has even went a few  d but I'm not sure if it's  because of the pill."


"I have been using Tegretol for 6 months for BiPolar and I have felt happier consistently for the first time in my life. I have tried many others over 15 years and Tegretol has changed my life. I have had no side effects! Go Tegretol!"


"I've just had my first dose, so too soon to review it's effectiveness. It is very difficult to open the packaging and apply even after practicing with the trainer they provide. This morning I found some things that helped me and I hope they might help others. I cut past the suggested lines at least 1/8 of an inch (my shaky fingers barely got the first one open, ha) Instead of using my fingers, I used tweezers to pick up and place the patch in my cheek. Good luck to all!"


"I have more headaches than usual and I am always bloated and hungry with non-stop cravings. The only good thing is that my periods go from light to barely there. I love that aspect. I never had any skin issues so that was not my concern. I take pills to regulate my cycle, which it does. But I can do without the headaches and weight gain."


"I have had the implanon for a year and a half now and so far it's been great. No period at all except for a couple weeks a few months ago of random spotting. Recently though I have been experiencing horrible breast pain like you get when starting your period or when pregnant. (Never been pregnant but friends say it's similar) and it's been going on for almost 3 weeks.The only issue is every few months for about a week I get bad breast pain. This time it's longer. Anyone else have this issue?"


"I'm in my mid 30s and love to travel. The reason I wanted Mirena is so that I wouldn't accidentally become pregnant before any of my scheduled vacations!
I don't have children so I was extremely nervous about the pain I would experience. I had the Mirena inserted just yesterday. I will tell you the pressure I felt was "different" and felt like a much more intense pap. I immediately began to feel cramping but took a Motrin 800. Felt great after that. Now, at 3:45 am, I am experiencing more cramping. I think it's time for another Motrin.
I hated taking a pill every day, was afraid of weight gain with the depo shot, and was scared away from the implanon by my former ob/gyn. I read 1st 6 months are hell, looking forward to month 7!"


"Felt normal after thyroid removal. A year after as at now, I feel a bit slow and experience forgetfulness, not quick to remember especially names."


"I took Mirapex for moderate RLS for about a year and it worked like a charm. Then I began to develop side effects bad enough to force me to quit. Eventually, within 30 minutes of taking Mirapex at night I would experience severe nausea and vomiting that would last for hours."


"I have been prescribed Bactrim for a skin infection in the form of 2 boils 1 on my arm and 1 on my leg. I have been prescribed Bactrim 800/ 160 2x per day for 10 days. Started feeling horrible after the first dose. Extreme dizziness, stomach issues, headache by day 3, feeling dehydrated with weakness and joint pain and jaw pain, loss of appetite, insomnia. I am on day 5 and the dizziness is really bad I had to miss work. Only took half a dose this morning and considering stopping. Thinking I may be allergic to the sulfonomide as my grandmother is allergic and this is the first time I have ever taken this. Glad to see others have had a good experience. "


"Solid erection and great sex, but didn't get erection for hours afterwards (unlike Viagra). Side effects the next day were - tummy upset and headache/nausea. I guess I have to be careful - I had a few drinks beforehand (will need to cut that out). I also suffer from low blood pressure."


"Ive had my implant for almost 3 years and I absolutely hate it at this point. I've gained 40lbs, always tired and sad, I have terrible mood swings and I'm severely depressed. I never want to do anything and due to me bleeding for months at a time I've opted out of having sex. I will be getting my implant removed next week thank god!!!"


"I've been taking Zoloft for 6 weeks. I was a mess before, so stressed out, lashing out at my husband and in tears daily. I felt so overwhelmed with life. Once I started taking Zoloft all of that went away. I feel SO much more calm and have not had a breakdown since. Side effects for me: gas, sometimes rapid heart beat, occasional dry mouth and can make waking up very difficult (this happened when I tried to increase my dose, per doctor's orders). It does give me very vivid dreams, which doesn't bother me and I'm sleeping like a champ. Sex drive is very sad, but it wasn't great before with the anxiety. Sometimes a glass of wine (I know, a no-no!) really helps with that! I am really happy with it. No noticeable weight changes."


"I have just started taking this medicine, which I have used before for anti-malaria!  I had no idea it was for Rosacea.  What I'm most surprised about on this discussion forum is how expensive it is.  I live in France, where prescriptions are free because health care is paid through your taxes.  Meaning - if a medicine costs $1 or $30, it's still free, making it accessible to everyone skin conditions. "


"This med is a wonder drug for me.  I saw a difference in my walking speed w/in 2 weeks with only the  10mg use.   As I moved up to the full 20mg daily I found I had more energy, didn't need my daily nap and even have done some light gardening.  Last night I walked down a 3 story spiral staircase when leaving a concert (holding on to the rail and holding hands with my husband).  My ONY negative is with the "Speciality" pharma which we are forced to use. (No choice they are the only pharma for this med.)    Accredo is enough of a hassle (even for my MS renowned DR), I may stop if I have to deal with them monthly.  Don't be afraid of  the seizures warning in the info. W/ the time release pill it seems not to be an issue if take correctly."


"Started off with Concerta in May 2012 it was not effective at all, switched over to Adderall XR 10mg in July 2012 for seven days as a starter dose, then started Adderall XR 20mg,  I noticed a considerable difference between the two medicines instantly. I am able to focus for a very long period of time without being distracted, my grades improved exceptionally, I went from receiving grades below 55% now my lowest grade is 83%. The benefits of this medicine do outweigh the side effects for me, I noticed 20 minutes after taking Adderall, I have increased bowel movements, lower libido and decreased appetite. I stop taking Adderall during breaks and long weekends, the first day not on it, I am extremely tired, exercising and eating healthy helps."


"I was given to the clindamycin for a infection following a root canal. About 18 hours later after taking my first dose I was more or less drained of every ounce of energy that I had had the chills, light headed and extremely fatigued. The dr. That prescribed me this antibiotic never told me that I should take probiotics to replace all the bacteria that this medicine kills. After 5 days of being bedridden I discovered that I needed to take probiotics while taking this medicine. I thought I had the flu for sure with joint pain, chills and fatigue. I'm a very active person with plenty of energy and for the most part in very healthy but because I did not get the proper instructions from my doctor this medicine floored me. Get proper instruction"


"I have been taking this medicine since June and recently increased my dose. This medication has not worked for me at all. I continue to have pain and swelling in my wrist and fingers. The only thing that works for me is prednisone."


"I have been on my antidepressants (celexa, lexapro, effexor, prozac, lithium, lamictal just to name a few) lexapro seemed to work best for me, however after a couple years its effects have reduced and I started to get angry, easily annoyed, and I always get tired around 3 or 4 pm and need a siesta so to speak. My Dr put me on Wellbutrin SR HCL 100mg once a day to try and combat the tiredness from the lexapro. It was filled with the generic version. I must say both my wife and I notice it has worked wonders for my anger and agitation, however I am twice as sleepy and groggy on it and have to take it before I go to sleep and when I get up I'm exhausted. Its doing the opposite of what almost every review I've seen for me. Im going off of it asap."


"This is my 2nd YI from antibiotics & I knew right away so I went & bought the 1-day. First time I figured it out took maybe after 3-4 days & I went bought the 7-day. Only used it once, it cleared up right away. So thinking the 1-day would do the same I was very wrong. I ended making it a bigger problem then it was. I showered and used the anti-itch cream, it worked well on the outside but the insert caused intense itching about 2 hours after, the worst I've ever had & I couldn't even scratch it. Maybe after 3 hours dealing with it I ended up sitting in the tub with hot water for another hour trying to rinse it out. It became unbearable. The water helped a lot. Still itchy though, hopefully in the morning it will be manageable"


"My depression improved immensely on 15mg dose per day taken at night  I have to add my GP increased this dose to 30mg after 7 days which  has been  found to be too much so I'm now back onto 15mg which I'm really pleased with as my life was pure hell without this drug"


"I was having to go 10 plus times a day and started to lose weight because every time I ate I had to run to the bathroom. So now with the Lomotil I go maybe three times a day and I only have to take 3 of these a day, which is nice 2 in the morning after the first trip to the bathroom and 1 after each extra trip which only ends up to be two more times, 3 at the most. This is the one medicine I don't want to live without."


"I had Skyla inserted three days ago, and I made the terrible mistake of reading other women's horror stories of insertion!! I am 17 have not had any children. It was really not too bad. It felt like moderate to severe menstrual cramps, which continued from time of insertion (9:45am) to about 5:00pm, as well as very heavy bleeding. I had it inserted while on my period so that my cervical plug was open, I did not take the cervical opening medicine that some are given. I was very nervous after reading how painful it was for some women. I highly recommend not reading up so much on the experience. Yes it is uncomfortable and painful, but nothing unbearable. Good luck to anyone who gets Skyla in the future!"


"I tried Chantix on two seperate occasions and it did not help in any way."


"I have been using abreva for years and it is incredibly good. I got off a phone call with the bank and within minutes the cold sore was starting to form and my bottom lip was beginning to tingle and itch. At that point I knew - so I drove as quickly as I could to the pharmacy and purchased a bottle. Applied it immediately and the cold sore literally stopped in its tracks. I put it on at least 3 times that day and by the next morning (today) it almost looks as if nothing is there. No red spot near the edge of my lip. Now just a very small bump that is already beginning to get smaller and smaller. I would recommend this stuff to anyone. It works like magic if you put it on right when you feel the cold sore start to come in."


"I have to agree with Anna, I am on my first week, I have had this infection since 2012  when I was diagnosed. I am very excited to be PURE AGAIN, Completing this will be another success for me and only make me a stronger person. I have to say I feel really weak and have fatigue, I drink a whole lot of water and some Protein shakes during my day. Just like anything it is ONLY ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!"


"I took for 3 yrs, Starts w/tummy ache. Then After 1.5 years I gained 10lbs, had tons of problems with my hair breaking, headaches off and on (never had a headache in my life), moody (unusual for me) chest pains, breast sore and plumper, As soon as I came off it within one week I dropped 5 lbs, now on my fourth week off and have lost 7.5 lbs. I have never had to count calories and had to watch every thing I ate on this med. I always took it out and rinsed it off after sex. I did not get pregnant.  Just a gut feeling I should not use it anymore bc of clots. I had no acne, my sex drive not affected on or off It. My skin glows off it and I feel great"


"Used norgesic as needed for 40 years for muscle spasms and muscle aches.  Worked wonderful!  Have found nothing as effective since they stopped making norgesic!"


"I had a total knee replacement three weeks ago and Versed was used as an amnesia drug while they prepped me, etc. I barely remember anything for the next two and a half days, had short dreams, one in which I was painting and when I woke up, my hand was up and moving like I had a paint brush. I don't remember eating a thing in the hospital, to this day. My friends who visited told me I had chicken, etc., When my Mum and friend came to visit, we were watching television and I asked her who did she find to hang her big screen tv on the wall. She didn't, we were in the hospital. I called my best friend at 3am to ask her if she could come and get me at a friends house, I was in the hospital.  I'll never have this drug used on me again, ever"


"This medication has worked great for me. I was feeling pretty well with Prozac, but had to switch doses from 20mg to 40mg. The main reason I got off Prozac was because I had NO appetite and lost 17 lbs which, in my case, was a bad thing since I was already skinny and wanted to bulk up. I switched to Remeron, which not only made me feel better mood wise, but increased my appetite and helped me sleep great! It's a 3-in-1 drug for me. It also helped a bit for my anxiety. Only have been taking it for about three weeks so I hope my mood, sleep, anxiety, and appetite stay this way."


"So I had the mirena after my first daughter and had it again after my second but felt it was making me very moody and gained weight. So I just have been on aviane for 2 weeks and I have had painful heartburn and acid reflux to the point of no sleep for 3 nights straight this past week and extremely bloated feeling. I was really excited to be back on the pill since before my kids I was on the pill and never had any issues, but I'm only two weeks in and my body is hating itself.

Sad to say I would not recommend. But everyone is different"


"I've been taking doxycycline once a day since early August and overall I have seen improvement but I still get pimples randomly I think it could be from touching my face though. I do that often and am trying to stop because I know it messes with the healing process and spreads bacteria. Anyways I don't have as many breakouts as I used to and yeah it's all starting to clear up but I still have a long way from perfect skin. I have scars from picking. I also put Retin A on every night and wash my face with neutrogena to clear pores. I put on a face mask 3 times a week either sea salt, baking soda, or just the face wash because it's also a mask. I also apply apple cider vinegar once in a while. I think these do help as well."


"worked great when I started...a year later taking 1mg in the am and 1mg at night...and anxiety is back...interferes with work..."


"I was on Yaz for 5 months. I'm normally a really upbeat happy person. It turned me into an absolute monster. Very angry, all the time. I noticed it about two weeks after taking it.  The only good thing about it was that I experienced no hair loss, no weight gain. "


"I have had restless legs since college and spent many a night awake because of it. When it started bothering my wife, I sought help with no relief and lots of side effects.
This was given to me as a sample and produced immediate and long lasting relief even at the 1mg dose. No perceptible side effects"
