"I suffer from Dysthymic Depression and had been on Prozac until it stopped working and I started having suicidal thoughts. I've been on Pristiq for 3 months and it has changed my life for the better. I take it in the morning so I sleep at night. I am no longer tired. I have tons of energy and have a zest for living again. I have dropped 12 lbs and it does not affect my energy levels for running, biking and weight training. I can focus better at work and my sex drive has returned after being dulled for the past 7 years. My husband is thrilled. This drug has been a positive step for me."


"A little over 2 years ago I started feeling anxiety thinking of bad thing that would happen to me or my family. I would worry about these things every day and then I would have trouble breathing and it was all do to anxiety.  My doctor prescribed Buspar and everything went away and I felt normal and stress free and the feelings I had went away. I also read Buspar is for short term, but as long as your doctor prescribes it for you. You should take it as long as you need to. Without it I would be a wreck.  As for side effects I get dizzy and tired, I take one 15mg at night and the other in the afternoon after work and take about a 30 minute break and lay down or just watch T.V. I feel much better after that."


"I take Welbutrin XR, so it takes a couple to a few weeks to kick in and wear off. I didn't like it very much when I first started because it really didn't feel like anything changed for me. I never felt like I was on medication at all, I just felt normal. But I talked to my doctor about it, and he pretty much explained how that was exactly how it's supposed to be. So ever since then, I've been hopelessly devoted to my Welbutrin XR."


"I was on Zoloft for a few years as I have generalized anxiety disorder. I am also somewhat ADD and suffer from chronic insomnia but no depression.  It helped but I got a new doctor and we decided to try Wellbutrin and vyvance respectively to treat the ADD. Wellbutrin actually made me depressed and the vyvance did wonders for the ADD but horrible for anxiety. E
We then tried Effexor. Not the one. I went back begging for my Zoloft and a clonazepam at night. By far the best drug for me. It does take a couple of weeks before it calms me down enough to sleep.  Being back on it feels like coming home again!"


"I'm 19 (no kids) and I got this inserted because regular birth control pills were giving me extremely unhealthy side effects like black out migraines where my vision would blur. The insertion was definitely painful and I bled for several days after. My cramping was excruciating the first 2-3 days but settled afterwards. I had occasional cramps for weeks that would hurt a lot but not unbearable. I still get my period but it's very light and I experience spotting a few days before my period and a few days after. However, I'm so happy I got an IUD rather than continuing to take pills. I think its definitely worth it and now 3 months later I barely experience any side effects. I still have occasional cramps during my period but not bad at all"


"Don't believe the positive comments.  I have seen zero improvement in 5 months. How the company can justify their retail price is beyond me."


"It works rather well but puts me to sleep for about 3 hours. I am still trying to find a migraine drug that does not put me to sleep. "


"At first I felt bloated uncomfortable so I stopped tried it a week later.  Ended up in the hospital I felt flushed face swollen eyes couldn't breathe they had to give me IV and epi to go home with was the worst and scariest experience. Be careful I think its given for too many symptoms .. IBS constipation could be caused by hemorrhoids and diet I still suffer from constipation. I'm taking miralex 2 doses a day  which works but it sometimes gives me diarrhea. Either way going to bathroom is not a pleasant experience"


"I took two pills and immediately had energy however I crashed hard. I had no energy the rest of the day."


"Had a really bad infected impacted wisdom tooth and dentist prescribed augmentin. This antibiotic works really good. Only side effect was diarrhea. Infection cleared up in about 4 days."


"Got the Mirena in almost 2 weeks ago, and I must say I love it so far! Horrible cramps for the first 5 or so hours after insertion (had to drive home) and almost couldn't take it. Heating pad helped bunches along with laying on my back. The cramps went away the next day! I even went to work. A few cramps here and there, but that's expected. Nothing too unbearable. I'm also a 21yo with NO kids. My boyfriend also can't feel it. One thing though, the antibiotics they put you on day of insertion did give me a Yeast Infection. Went away a couple days later. Love the Mirena so far!"


"My doctor prescribed 10mg Lexapro for severe anxiety about 5months ago.  The first 4 weeks were really rough as the side effects almost caused me to discontinue the medicine. By the 4th week, I had insomnia.  I couldn't sleep for several days.  I felt like I was on speed.  So, I cut the pill in half and the next day I felt a difference.  I've been on 5mg for the last 4 months. And, I must say that it has changed my life for the better.  I no longer have those negative thoughts or bouts of anxiety. Its amazing.  The only side effects that continue are: clenching of the jaw and weight gain due to an increase in appetite. If you take Lexapro, give it 4 to 5 weeks to work before giving up. Best of luck."


"I have insomnia so bad it doesn't help me at all. I get no sleep with it."


"This is terrible, honestly. I was on ortho tri cyclen but then my pharmacy told me I ran out of refills. Ever since I was put on this I have gained 10 lbs in 3 months (which I haven't gained/loss more than 3 lbs in over 5 years). My moodiness has caused me to start fights with my boyfriend like crazy and I feel awful almost 24/7 even though I'm on Prozac as well. The only thing that works is the actual birth control part."


"I have taken ultram for years on and off. I HATE IT.it was made only to take the edge off.  I have fibrmyalgia,statica caused by Lipoma caused. By sitting on my static nerve, arthritis, .neuropathy,endometreosis. And bipolar disorder ultram almost. Caused me to commit suicide it reacted so bad with my Paxil for bipolar.it is the worst pain drug ever made.if it works for u great but it didn't work and created all sorts of problems. BEWARE! !!!!!"


"I took Belviq for 45 days and had several foggy days and headaches while on the medication. I only lost 2 pounds during that time period. After going back to my doctor he switched me over to Qsymia, which I just started this week."


"I would never recommend this birth control. I was very moody on this I literally always cried about everything. My anxiety got 10 times worse and I always had my period - literally for 22 days and then didn't for 5 days  and then got it again for 18 days and this would happen every month ... My boobs always hurt and I was always very tired.. My cramps got worse. I had the worst experience with this birth control."


"Been on Yasmin for 6 months now after years on all other brands under the sun. I have always been fit and healthy but for some reason on this pill and I even thinner. I can't gain weight no matter how bad I eat it's amazing ! The only down side is I am so hungry a lot of the time but it's awesome because it doesn't lead to any weight gain so I can eat as much as I want !
Also no cramps at all and I used to get them bad. Limited headaches. Finally after 12 years if found something that works super well for me"


"Started Aug 18,2017 weight 227lb. Today October 4,2017 weight 199lb. So in a month and a half roughly I lost 28lbs. No excess skin issues with the rapid weight loss.
I have not really exercised, I tried one ran/walked 1.7 miles. I felt like crap for 2 days. So not trying that again for a while.
Every time I eat it feels like I just had Thanksgiving dinner. 2 spaghetti meatballs (seriously). Minimal appetite.
First week was brutal with side effects but I am glad I stuck it out. The only issue I seem to have now is sleeping. I wake up a lot in the night, but am able to go back to sleep. My appetite seems to be coming back a little. I noticed I can eat more than before but its still not much.

This medicine works for me 100"


"I have attempted suicide three times in my life. The first two times were before I knew of Lithium and the third was when I took a break from Lithium, foolishly thinking I had gotten better. Lithium, at 900mg, almost completely eliminates the suicidal ideation. Symptoms of depression still present, however much better. Side effects I have had are weight gain (5 lbs?), frequent urination/thirst, thinning of my hair and sometimes I feel tired. I'll take these side effects any day over how I used to feel. This medicine has kept me alive.

If you have recurring suicidal ideation, I would highly recommend."

"I went on for acne, and I'm not really sure if it ultimately helped with that since I began Accutane a few months later. However, I didn't notice any changes in my mood, weight gain, cramping. I had irregular periods before, so it was nice to finally have them on a schedule. On Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, my periods lasted for approximately 6 days but after the first 2-3 days it was light. I ultimately decided to stop because I think it may be affecting my sex life. "


"10 to 15% improvement after second gel capsule"


"I switched from a tri phasic pill to Blisovi, and I have been very pleased. I have not experienced any negative side effects such as spotting or weight gain. My period came on the third day of the placebo pill and lasted less then 3 days. My best advice is that everyone is different. I was very discouraged when I read some of these reviews, but it all turned out okay!"


"I have had disruptive RLS for all of my life. A couple of years ago it got intolerable. I tried Requip first, but it made me exceptionally tired the next day. Mirapex works quite well, allows me to not move and get agitated and I feel fine the next day."


"I have been on Tresiba about 6 to 7 months and have gained about 10 pounds. Mostly in my gut area, love handles and biceps. I have keep my weight in good range by running 5 days a week, but now  I am starting to look and feel bloated all the time.
I do like the fact that I am not profusely sweating like Lantus did to me.
What is a diabetic to do?
I can't lower the basal any more I take about 10 to 11 units and use 2 doses. I take 7 units in morning and 3 to 4 units at 8:30 PM"


"Works great on cruise ships, or for a day at the amusement park if you are prone to motion sickness.  Put it on behind your ear the night before for best results"


"I took 15 mg instant release Ritalin for ADHD, to combat daytime sleepiness, and focus on med school studies. I have mixed feelings about this medication. It improved my focus a lot, but it also had some negative effects. I was very nauseous after taking the pill and would sometimes gag. Nausea was absent on days I didn't take it. I had no appetite so I wasn't eating enough, which isn't ideal because I am already thin and not looking to lose weight. I would try to eat before taking the pill but I did notice either a decreased efficacy of the drug. It also increased my heart rate to about 120 beats per min (I am normally about 75). This did help me feel motivated and get work done, I just wish I didn't experience these side effects."


"I was 65 when I got psoriasis, tried everything possible until I told my derm. I have to have something. I have received 2 inj. & feel it has pretty much saved my life (not really) but I'm so much more comfortable. However I retired in Jan. & my ins. changed to Humana which will not cover Stelara, so at this time I am stressing (worst thing you can do) about how I can continue this inj. without having to pay the enormous price, so I am researching everything possible...long story short I have definitely benefited from the Stelara..."


"I'm in my early 20's and have been dealing with acne since secondary school. Nothing has worked for me, both oral and creams or gels. About a week and a half ago I went to a new dermatologist. He prescribed Aczone. Deciding why not I gave it a go. It's now a full week in and I'm noticing an improvement. I realized that I still have larger bumps but my smaller bumps are basically diminished. I look toward to continuing the use of this product."


"I've been taking this medication for about 4 months. The First month was fine it brought my blood pressure down to acceptable numbers. The side effects started gradually. I was really forgetful and would sometimes feel confused. Then the trembling in my legs started them spread to my arms went from trembling to twitching really fast then it spread to my face. During this time anxiety is slowly creeping in it was getting a little worse everyday until it was a constant feeling. Pressure in my head constantly and full blown panic attacks by month 4. I discussed this with my doctor and I stopped taking this medication 2 days ago and was prescribed something else. I can feel my anxiety subsiding. "


"I've had Mirena for almost a month now.  I am 33, had one vaginal birth.  The insertion is painful, but very manageable. I used to weight 112lbs, in less than 30 days I've gained 6 lbs. I got a crying fit within 24 hours of inserting Mirena.  I did not experience post-partum depression with my child and handled the divorce pretty well, so I know the depression is due to the Mirena.  Add a constant sense of bloating, cramps and back pain.  I have been spotting since the insertion too.  No normal period so far.  I also had an awful migraine that lasted 3 days.  In a couple of months, if the side effects don't improve, it must be removed."


"It was fine for a year, but then made my condition much much worse to the point that I lost everything I ever loved. Please research this med before taking. It is not intended to be used for more than three weeks in a row."


"Was prescribed after suffering nerve damage after surgery from a complicated plueral effusion. The stabbing. Pain is gone after OxyContin made me feel like my head was in a cloud.  Was also prescribed Lyrica. I feel a sharp pain when I try to take a deep breath or yawn but other than that I have been pain free.  My PM is talking about a nerve block and I am not to keen on that idea.  This medicine is fantastic no side effects."


"My son has been on this since last year, from the start of school (2nd week of August) until the end of September he had 32 office referrals! I was at wits end and didn't know where to turn and as a Psychology major didn't want to use meds, but needed something. We talked to his doctor and she prescribed this and at first it was rough the first week his attitude became worse and my wife wanted to try something new but I stuck with it and from the time he went on the meds to the end of the school year he only had 1 office referral and that was because we forgot his meds. Now the he does play sports and has a great personality but the only problem I have is his weight. Since he has been in it now for 1 year he has lost 3-5 lbs."


"I'm on celexa 40 mg and my doctor add trazodone 50 mg, and I feel the difference.

I feel a lot better, and happier, sleeping the whole night"


"Zyprexa- It is not a sedating medicine at all. It does nothing for anxiety and paranoia. It is extremely effective for panic and depression problems though. That's the only thing I commend this medicine for. The weight gain for this medicine is worse than any other psychiatric medicine. It to me, feels like an acute medicine for panic attacks but that's all I would say it's beneficial towards. The trick to this medicine is it is not sedating, but it stops the central nervous system from freaking out, but you don't actually feel sedated or calmer from it."


"Applied the egg thing and the cream before bed and at 3am I woke up with my lady bits on FIRE!! I did what many others did and ran to the Internet and found a lot of others had this issue, so I popped some ibuprofen and read some more of the reviews until I got to ignoring the pain and drifted off.
It's almost midday now and it's not painful any more and I do believe it worked! The topical cream did make things worse this morning so I might avoid that for a while and see if I really do need it coz I think that caused a lot of the problem...

So in summary- it works as a quick fix, but you should be pretty darn desperate to put yourself through the fires of hell for a one night treatment!!"


"This medication has always worked great for me whenever I have an ear infection...much better than the regular Amoxicillin too. However, be sure to follow your doctor's orders by taking this medicine with food while getting enough probiotics as it will give you stomach problems along with diarrhea if you don't comply."


"I stopped smoking 6.5 years ago. I was a very heavy smoker - sometimes 40  a day. I started Champix and after around 6 days lost the urge to smoke and stopped. I haven't had a single cigarette since and can't stand the smell or thought of it now. I had tried everything to help stop (many times) before Champix. Only side-effect I had was a metallic taste if I forgot to take it with food - for me it was a miracle. "


"I have been in Arava 20mg a day for ten years for my  Mixed Tissue Connective Disease . I am pain free! It has made my blood pressure go up a bit, but medicine takes care of that. I also get heartburn from the medicine but Omeprazole takes care of that.
All in all it is an amazing medicine that has given me back my quality of life."


"I'd have to say that I'm of a mixed opinion on Pradaxa. While I know that a blood thinner is necessary in my life, given my current condition, the downside to any of them is frustrating. Pradaxa's downsides seem to be fairly minimal and as a result is the drug I've chosen.  I really like the ability to reverse the effects with a single dose of a counter drug. Where I've run into problems with it is primarily digestive. The acidic nature of the med has caused some stomach upset but more significantly diarrhea, loose stools and leakage. This has led to abrasion bleeding externally and problems with cleanliness. Recently, my doctor recommended  omeprazole to counter this effect and it appears to be working adequately."


"So I have been taking Prozac for a long time but I was always taking naps and tired, I didn’t want to do anything go anywhere. I decided to look into Lexapro reviews some of them really scared me. I thought why not give it a shot one of my cousins takes Lexapro. The doctor switched me from Prozac to Lexapro and I’m going on three weeks I feel so much better I have more energy  I’m not sleeping all the time. I’m noticing more things that make me happy. I did have side effects in the beginning but they were very mild constipation dizziness tingly feelings but those are starting to go away. I’m so glad I try this medication I hope it continues to work for me. The doctor started me on 5 mg and I’m slowly working my way up to 10 mg. Write your reviews because people actually do read them."


"Okay great so I'm not pregnant, but wow my head is pounding and my stomach is all over the place. I have never experienced cramps this horrible. This sucks but I guess it's better than a baby."


"Been on 3 other ADD meds. This one seems to work great for me. I can focus stay on task and get my work done. Plus I can sit and relax with out feeling like I have be on the go all the time."


"Was on amiodrone two months prescribe to me by doctor in Baja Mexico.  Loss of weight, anxiety. Back in US to discover it had sent my thyroid skyrocket, loss of weight and general poor quality of life. Now thyroid has to be retested in four weeks and recommended to see neurologist due to possible Parkinson's.  They should ban the drug."


"I started this medication and within a day of starting the full dose I was prescribed (300 mg) I passed out twice in about an hour and a half. I would NOT suggest this to anyone who has reacted to any other medication (I myself also experienced nasty side effects to Geodon)."


"I took this medicine twice a day for 7 days for my skin abcess and this medicine didn't work because my abcess never went down completely. I am very disappointed"


"Like everyone else who has commented here, I have been using Drixoral for years for my terrible sinus headaches and it is the only thing that has helped me.  I have tried most other  prescription and non prescription medications and never had any relief.  Now I can't get any sleep and am constantly in pain.  What are they doing in discontinuing it?  I am going to try to order it through Canada, although if they aren't making it any more that supply will probably not last long either. I am really angry that they have done this without so much as a reason."


"Vibbryd is a saint and a devil. I have been on it for almost two years. It saved me as I was going of the deep end and I could no longer contain my anger and every day little things would set me off. The side effects when first going on were AWFUL. The demonic dreams were the worst but this all happened when I jumped from 20 mg to 40 mg. I solved this by taking 30mg for a while then going to 40 mg. No more rage. I take everything in stride. My mind is clear and I function perfectly. Now for the devil. You have to take this around the same time everyday. If I forget I always know. I start to itch and get a headache. The nightmares if forgotten are terrible. Its as if they are real.  Just remember to take every day!  Preferably in the morning"


"I had the Mirena put in 9/4/13. It is 11/5/13 & I have not had 1 single day w/out bleeding!! This is so effective at birth control because you cant possibly have sex with all the bleeding it causes!! i am 38, of average weight and had it inserted for birth control, not to treat any other symptom. For me, getting it inserted was mildly uncomfortable, was over quickly. I was able to go running that same day...so I wasnt uncomfortable at all. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen before the appointment. The first 2 weeks I broke out with really nasty acne along my jawline. I think my hair has thinned. I have also experienced Migraine w/aura :-(  My Mirena has until Jan., if this hasnt fixed itself, its coming out."


"This explains my insomnia"


"I took'm 1978. One a day. I wanted to loose 30 pounds 3 months after my delivery of my second child. I took diet pills back on the 60s and 70s, by doctors with no restrictions. I was 26, my body tolerated them well. Not Mentally,  I feared gaining weight. I was hooked. It did affect me mentally. Yeah, It gave me energy. Energy any mom with two kids and a baby that worked, kept a house clean Etc.. I was tired but down to 130 on two months, But I couldn't give them up. I took them for over a year got down to 114. Tight muscles and looked great. But I crashed after the divorce and ended up on a pysc ward with severe depression, don't take them!! I got cancer a few months later. They are as addictive as speed. Loose weight the healthy way!"


"Best drug for pain I have ever tried. I'm able to work 40  hours a week and be a proper wife and mother again. I haven't felt this good in years and I've tried almost everything."


"Started Coversyl 2.5mg after my readings would show an average 150/95.
I took the first dose in the morning and at night when going to bed I got a tachychardia which lasted 3 hours. 150bpm average and it wouldn't stop. Very scary.
The first 10 days were horrible, dizziness, lightheaded, hypertension crisis, you name it. Diastolic number went down but not the systolic one. Average reading 145/75.
Experienced anxiety and panic disorder.
Went to the emergencies because I was feeling very unwell. They increased the dose to Coversyl 5mg. It was even worse and I went to a cardiologist afterwards who switched me to a beta blocker."


"I had the Paraguard IUD for 4 years it was effective birth control however, it has caused more harm to my body than good. I am not one to bash but if you like  to see if you like feeling happy, if nausea  and head aches are not your thing Do Not  Get this Device at least until you do your research."


"I’m 20 years old and this is my first yeast infection. Let me tell you guys I wish I  never ever get a yeast infection again in my life!!! I went in to the E.R due to being super itchy down there and they prescribed this to me due to having a YI. It’s my first day taking it and I am so itchy it’s crazy!!  It doesn’t burn but I just it is just the itch!!!!! I’m crying !!! I don’t know how I will get through this. It’s barely my first day out of 7! Good luck to anyone  using this! I would recommend avoiding  this and asking your dr is there is something else you can take."


"I'm 66 year old never had problems with erection until few months ago. When separated from my wife, had anxiety and insecure with a another woman. Took Viagra 50 mg and I was a rock star, any time she wants I was ready, she was exhausted  and she is 46 years old. She can't stop calling me now she wants more and more."


"I am 4 wks into shot and feel horrible! My sex drive is gone, side pains, cramps, headaches, and so tired all the time. My mood swings make me feel like I am crazy! Oh and now I have this metallic taste in my mouth. I just want to sleep all day because of the constant cramping..I feel horrible. My face is changing too! I am black and my face looks so dry and discolored."


"I've been on OxyContin 10mg 2x daily for about a month now and I stopped it about 2 days ago. I had gotten to where I didn't have the energy to do anything, getting out of bed was a tremendous chore and I have been waking up with a headache and going to bed with a headache. This is the second day off of it and I have a little more energy than I've had since I started it and I am hoping the headaches stop real soon. I made an appt to go back to my Dr. early to change."


"Currently on my 2nd round for a 'flare' in my colitis......first time worked it's magic so quickly I couldn't believe it (started at 20mg for a week, reducing by 5mg each week). This time, I've been taking 20mg per day constantly and, although symptoms have improved slightly, I'm still suffering from urgency, diarrhoea and stomach cramps.  I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects as yet but have another 2 weeks to go until I'm back to see the hospital consultant.  Really don't want to be taking this for a day longer than I need to.  Also taking Azathiroprine"


"I have been on many Statins over the last 20 years, I am a 61 year old woman.  I have been taking Livalo for about a year, as I had horrible muscle aches and thought had the flu on other statins.  The muscle aches and weakness are back.  My doctor insists because of my high cholesterol and triglycerides I must take SOMETHING but I can't take the muscle pain.  I am stopping, and calling the doctor."


"I've had problems with my feet burning for several years. Every year it was worse than the year before. It got to the point that I couldn't stand anything on my feet. Lyrica helped a lot, with much less frequency and severity of burning. Finally some relief. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue because of side effects. I had almost all side effects listed in the info sheet. Most I could have tolerated, but the ones I couldn't was weight gain, confusion, and fast progressing blurred vision. Also, I had severe clinical depression over 18 years ago until I received the correct antidepressant. I've had no depression since. However, the Lyrica caused it to return, although not as severe. It also caused anger flareups, very unlike me."


"I started using Patanol 2x per day four days ago. Within three days my eyes looked back to normal -- no more redness. The drops seem to make my dry eyes a little bit drier and artificial tears weren't helping much, so for the past two days I've been using a 0.9% saline wash to rinse my eyes out and it has helped a lot. One thing that started when I started using Patanol: very vivid dreams!  I've been using a sample bottle with 1ml. When it's gone, I may have to switch to a cheaper OTC since Patanol is so darn expensive."


"I started on lexam 20mg (escitalopram,) three days ago after having a three month break from mirtazipine 30mg, which I took for 16 months. The first night I took lexam, I experienced some side effects about 1&1/2 hours after taking it. I felt dizzy and my heart rate increased. I felt out of breath & had to lie down. Overall the experience itself was highly entertaining and much better than the depressive state I had been. When I first took lexam, I went from being anxious and severely depressed to feeling much better about my life, even after only 3 days. Don't give up on this medication. It truly works."


"This med really kills the depression and anxiety I have had for years. The best advice I can give is if it doesn't seem to be working, try switching to the brand name.  Generic versions don't seem to work as well."


"While it was effective, I hated the side effects and am discontinuing after less than one month. It made me feel hungry and I started to break out. I was having sleep issues and bleeding in between periods. I'm currently on my cycle and I'm miserable. My period has been heavy for four days and I have cramps. This is unusual for me. Not worth it!"


"This medicine really seems to help me a bit, I don't much have an appetite (but I never did anyway), it calmed me down enough to think. I've been on it for almost a week and for a few days my terrible nightmares stopped, but now my dreams are back but they're just weird now. I had nausea for the first 4 days, not that's gone. This medicine has some good qualities, but for me, 4 days after starting to take it I developed a rash on my neck in reaction to the medicine.

Don't let that scare you though. Only 7% of people will have this effect according to a couple of articles I've read about it. Anti-itch cream keeps it from bothering me, but I'm planning to switch to Celexa soon."


"I'd rather die that feel this burning and itching the suppository caused me wow but it did pretty much cure it after the first day.. doing night two just to make sure it's all gone"


"Had Nexplanon twice over the last 5 year never had periods during that time only had blood spotting since I had my new one put in, but over the last 5 years felt really depressed and overly sensitive about thing which I feel is making me a bit paranoid. Without the depression, I feel this did an amazing job especially as before my periods were painful and heavy."


"It is very effective."


"I've been dealing with anxiety for a very long time now, cried all the time, got upset over anything, always worried about something, had a horrible temper, and could never sleep or relax. I was always doing SOMETHING. I finally went to a doctor and told him everything that I was feeling and he prescribed me Lexapro 20mg.  I've only been on it for a couple of days and its making me VERY sleepy, and I feel like I'm not able to think. I'm not to sure if I like this or if its just side effects, or maybe I need a lower dosage.  My mother is on the same medication and told me she felt the same way in the beginning.  Hopefully it goes away. All  your reviews have made me feel better about this medication.  Lets see how it works."


"It's helped my life. I am more focused, more balanced, want to go out more, and I am eating healthier and exercising, which results in the weight loss.
Only downside is that if I forget to take it for even one day, my depression comes right back at me and I am in bed all day."


"My doctor switched me to this because my other pill was making me have a breakthrough period since having my baby. This pill has made me bleed every single day! Makes me extremely moody and bleeding every day on top of that makes me upset. I'm switching pills."


"I got the Implanon about 3 months ago. The initial implant part was uncomfortable but the numbing stuff helped a lot! Afterwards it was pretty bruised and very sore. Its all healed now, and has left a tiny circular scar (like a chicken pox scar). The first couple of weeks I had INSANE amount of energy! It was amazing. I am  22 5'4 and 115lbs so I'm not overweight or unhealthy (which in my personal opinion is why I have such great side effects). I LOVE THIS BIRTH CONTROL! The only negative thing I have to say is when my body was adjusting to it I was very irritable and moody! I would cry if I saw a stupid SPCA commercial. But now 3 months later. I feel amazing! Normal periods and normal mood! TRY IT!"


"I have been on sertraline for 4 weeks and a day, my dr started me on 50mg, then after 3 weeks and 3 days she upped my dosage to 100mg, I have felt the side effects so I know this medication is doing something, however, I don't feel any better for taking it, I thought by now it would kick in.."


"Changed my life."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have used a C-PAP for about 4 years.  Before that I was on 2 liters of oxygen at night for 6 years. I always had some daytime sleepiness, but handled it with caffiene and more recently energy drinks.  The sleepiness was getting worse and I was having microsleeps during the day. Lossing consciousnesses at work for a few seconds, waking and not knowing whether it was 3 seconds or 10 minutes.  My sleep was good with C-Pap,  I thought and the doctor read the chip from it and it said it was good too. I was prescribed 150mg Nuvigil.  It was as if half of my circuit breakers were off and someone flipped them all back on.  Startling to say the least.  The first 2 days I had a low grade headache. Had to cut way back on coffee.  Miracle!"


"I used this birth control a couple years ago and had no trouble, but I used it again from February-September of this year and ran into bad side effects.  My sex drive went way down along with lubrication. I saw the doctor who ended up removing the ring for 3 months and everything returned to normal.  I lost weight afterwards as well."


"I have a history with hard stools. Every once in a while I won’t have a bowel movement for a couple of days and once I do, it’s very hard to pass. I stumbled across this product and about 30-45 minutes after drinking half the bottle, I felt the rumble of the volcano in my stomach. You’ll know you’re ready to go on the pot when you have to hold in your bowel movement because it feels like you’re going poop water. It’s a relief let me tell you. After your poop you’re likely to have the farts for a few hours and they will most definitely stink. But the product works every time."


"Fever, chills, nausea, pounding migraine Friday, took a dose Fri night, Saturday morning and by Saturday night was feeling better. I was skeptical about the drug and scared of vomiting/nausea/diarrhea side effect but glad that decided to try it. To those who get nauseous taking it, take it with a piece of bread and ginger ale. LITERALLY with a piece of plain bread (I had Hawaiian sliced) and ginger ale. DO NOT eat a heavy meal. The RX says "Take it with a meal or a piece of bread". Nope, do not eat a meal, you will get nauseous. I do want to add that those who are more nauseous than others probably have more mucus in their stomach. Just my opinion. I was taking Mucinex at the same time so it helped with being nauseous from mucus greatly."


"I am a 47 year old married, mother of 2. My husband and I had unprotected sex recently - 2 weeks ago on a Friday night. I was nervous since I was in my ovulating zone. I went to pharmacy the next day (Saturday)to buy Plan B but they were out. Tried another - also out.  We live in a small town so the only other choice was another one You must buy it behind the pharmacy counter at there and it was closed. So Sunday went back to there and took it by noon.  On Monday felt kind of nauseous and the next few days had head ache, back ache, and just generally did not feel great, then had some spotting for 2 days. Finally got my period the Saturday afterwards which was one week early. Relief! Stay safe, Ladies!"


"I honestly was not terribly offended by the taste. It tasted like salty grape Koolaide.  I did use lemon slices after each drink. I highly recommend walking around after each treatment. It will help to move it along, and get rid of that bloating. I never had nausea, like 10 years ago. All in all, not too bad."


"My daughter is now nine and has been on Dexedrine for about four and a half years. I know about the med from my little brother and it worked for him. My daughters doctors wanted to try all the new stuff, not one worked so once again i said put her on dexedrine. Finaily after about a year they put her on it and she is doing great and on a low dose. So if you have tried the others go old school and use dexedrine it works:)"


"I was first diagnosed with ADD when I was 6 years old, I'm almost 28 now,and have been on Ritilan and Adderall for most of my life. I went off medication a few times in my life and although I was functional, I found myself spacing out a lot, and unable to focus. Recently I had been under so much stress that I was experiencing more frequent zoning out especially at work. So I talked to my doctor about it, and he originally prescribed Strattera but my insurance company wouldn't cover it so he put me on 20 mg dose once a day. This is only my second day on it, but overall I've had little negative side effects. Just a minor loss of appetite and some dry mouth. I am definitely feeling a lot more focused and can still sleep. So far so good."


"I was prescribed this inhaler for my asthma and I found it did a good job of bringing my breathing back to normal. However, I also experienced numerous side effects from the medicine such as very painful leg cramps/spasms that kept me from sleep and at times work/school and recurrent bacterial sinus infections (ie. Facial/ear pain, ringing in ears, headache) which I had never had prior to using Advair. I also had a sore throat at times while on this medication which to me is very minor and I would have continued use if this was the only side effect. Although it was not a good fit for me I would recommend this medicine to others who are struggling to control their asthma."


"I am on the 3rd sheet of pills so about 3 months in... before taking i weighed 120 now I am 130... feel depressed, just this week started to get brown discharge and thick red blood clots, try to take the pill everyday with my coffee but I was an hour off a few times, my boobs grew from C to double DD I don't mind but I do feel bloated and have had a couple angry depressed days..not sure its worth these symptoms but before I had such bad cramps n migraines was in bed every month for 2 days at least. Plus I thought only being 29 having early menopause with hot flashes n migraines this would help me... not sure yet. Staying on for another week or soo see what happens and the weight gain for me is the worst I don't fit in my pants, plus need new bras."


"I got nexplanon in Nov. 2016 I was 107lbs now in May 2017 I weigh 145lbs, I have not changed my eating habits from before nexplanon. I have tried cutting down on how much I eat and eating healthier and my weight hasn't gone down at all. I have had a period going on 4 months now with extremely painful cramping. Nexplanon is the worst birth control I have ever had."


"I've been suffering with horrible migraines with stroke like symptoms for years, I didn't think there was anything out there but pain killers for this condition. I have been taking Gabapentin for about 4 months, and I love it. I have never felt so good. No migraines now. Aside for a few heart racing episodes and tiredness in the beginning, the medication is working well."


"When I started taking Humira in 2008, I was covered over 80% of my body. Took Humira, and it was at least 8  weeks (if not more) for any improvement on the plaque psoriasis, although I noticed big improvement in arthritis pain and stiffness.

Once it cleared, within 2 years it was again widespread. Finally I have been on it regularly for two years in addition to Methotrexate (without it I feel it in my knees and hands).  I now only have no more than 5 spots here and there.

Very happy with it, and only side effect was 1 time liver function affected, but easily fixed with lesser dose of Methotrexate."


"I swear, this stuff almost ruined my life. I am a veteran who suffers from anxiety and chronic migraines from an injury in Iraq. The VA (my neurologist) had me try this drug to see if it would help me with the migraines. After about a month I noticed that I couldn't concentrate, and I'd began to effect my studies badly. My anxiety was the worst it had ever been and I was slipping into a depression. I had no idea what was wrong g with me. The VA gave me (a person who suffers from anxiety) a medication that makes you stupid, and wrecked havoc on my mind without warning me about any potential side effects. I had to process the change on my own, figure out what was wrong  with me, and ween myself off the pills. Use with extreme caution!"


"I have been taking .5 MG of Clonazepan for 3 years. With out it I get no sleep due to Horrid Leg Cramps, Frozen Muscles, Spasms. I have tried all available vitamins, minerals and sleep aids.
I only take it before bed time and it has worked like a charm.
 My new Dr wants to take me off it because he says it interferes with rem sleep. Ha, so does  Horrid Leg Cramps, Frozen Muscles, Spasms . Ever see a foot ball player rolling around the field with leg cramps. That's me in bed with out Cloanzepan.
   I have no side effects going off of it if I run out except for all my symptoms returning.
He wants me off it and wants me to try pramipexole. I'll try but I may have to fire him if
I no longer can tolerate the agony of chronic leg , groin pulls ."


"I tried EVERYTHING.   I'm 70 and have had chronic constipation.   Nothing worked.  Today I was miserable!  But, then I decided to try what my 98 year old Mother In law took every night of her long life.  MOM!   I also know a woman who is 104 and takes two tablespoons every night of her exceptional life.   Both these women had no side effects and regular as clock work.    I took 2 TBs of the cherry flavored MOM at 10am and at 2:30 it worked !    Try it, people :)"


"I suffered from severe asthma for the past 4 years. I was hospitalized several times, despite using 4 different asthma medications. Nothing seemed to control my symptoms for very long, except high doses of prednisone. After a blood test, and some pre-approval from my insurance company, my doctor finally got me approved for Nucala. Nucala has been a life changer. I can finally breathe much easier, I'm able to exercise, enjoy the outdoors & I rarely have asthma attacks now."


"I have been taking generic brand of Luvox just over 14 years now. It seemed to work for the first few years but it would only reduce the intrusive thoughts and anxiety where you could manage throughout the day. I just switched to Luvox brand name a couple of days ago. I just got my life back. I practically feel cured. I am more mentally focused, my concentration is much better, and most importantly my intrusive unwanted thoughts area pretty much gone. I feel like I can carry the world on my shoulders. Luvox brand name has changed my life forever. I hope it continues to do so for the years to come. I thank God for giving me the idea to try and switch from generic to brand !!!!!!!!"


"I started taking Zoloft 50mg yesterday.  I feel a lot better in terms of my mood.  However, I am jittery.  My hands are trembling, pupils are dilated and have dry mouth.  I do understand that I have to let it work its way into my system so I'm sticking with it.  It's been 1 day!  I'm glad to see that some of the positive responses had the same immediate side effects that I'm dealing with right now.  I am giving it a chance to work, honestly haven't felt anxious all day."


"I am about to start taking these - I need inputs"


"It helped me a bit, though I lost a lot of weight after I was taken off."


"I am starting my second trial week on Qsymia.  I have lost 3 pounds this week...was hoping for more, but I'll take it.  My only complaints are feeling extremely tired.  I am just wiped out.  I am having trouble sleeping at night, but the pills alone just make me feel completely, exhausted.  I don't feel overly thirsty, and the first few days I felt very hungry, however my appetite has decreased over the course of the week.  If only the exhaustion would go away...that is my main concern."


"Took this for 10 days after a cat bite got infected.  Noticed hyperactivity during the course, but it was two days after I finished the course that the real fun started - fatigue, head fog, inability to do anything, weight loss (three kg in four days!), really bad insomnia (unable to sleep until 5 am), unable to stomach anything except carbs.  After a week of this the nausea started, so that I couldn't eat anything without debilitating nausea.  Headaches too.  Am still in it after two weeks.  Treating myself with ginger tea for nausea, slippery elm, probiotics, dandelion leaf and root for liver, lemon water, vegetable juices.  I  will never take this again."


"I have had both knees arthroscopic in the last year and half. I ended up reinjurying one knee and when this happened the other knee begins to swell and hurt because it is compensating for the injury knee. I found out I have Pesanserine bursitis, which is very painful especially going up stairs. I was beginning to shuffle from one room to another. I had two Zipsor left from a sample pack I got from the doctor. I try to hang on to them in case my pain got worse. Since my doctors office had not received any samples I ask if they could call in a prescription. I didn't care about the cost. Zipsor has helped the pain and swelling tremendously in my knees. Since I have arthritis in my knees I know this will be my go to as needed pain reliever."


"It works great - especially for areas of acne, like T-zones, forehead, cheeks, etc. "


"I had my infusion on Friday.  My doctor gave me Tylenol at that time and said take one twice a day for 3 days.  On Sunday I woke up with some leg muscle pain.  Took 2 Tylenol and an Aleve Later on in the morning.  Felt fine all day and I resumed by gym workouts on Monday.  This was a breeze."


"3 stars because it induced a BM. I had been constipated for a couple weeks, not no BMs but few and incomplete with bloating and discomfort. From reading the literature I thought this might work, after several hours. But, wham! one hour after taking (on an empty stomach to decrease systemic uptake) I had a large BM. Great, but then I got severe intestinal cramps. Thought I was going to perforate something. After a couple hours then watery explosive diarrhea the rest of the day. OK, it cleaned me out, but at the expense of great pain and inconvenience.  I'll go back to Senna & Miralax. Perhaps my opioid intake is too high for this? It was tested on people taking morphine equivalents between 30 and 100 mg/day. I take more than that."


"at first my doc prescribed an amount which was too much (don't remember the dose) so he changed it to 10 mg.    worked at first.    i don't take it every night because i don't want to build a resistance.    tonight i took 6 (60 mgs).    that was 3 hours ago and i'm still awake.    took xanax a little while ago.    benzos don't work for me.    took 30 mg of valium one night and was up at 2am cleaning cabinets.   even my pharmacist was shocked when i told him."


"Was given this medication for migraines, worst mistake ever, I had bad thoughts about myself, had panic attacks, lost control of myself. Only took it for two nights. Please read the paper because I didn't, only after. Never again. Good luck to everyone else x"


"I started taking Yasmin/generic brand in January 2017. I was put on anti-depressants at the same time. The first one was citalopram. I blamed it for my feeling out of it and depressed. After reading some of these comments I realize it possibly was the Yasmin. I'm not sure about anyone else but I have uncontrollable, teary, depression during the 2nd week of the pills. I am at a point where I will probably change because this is not good for my mental health. As awful as this medication is for my mental health, it has been helpful in lowering my flow and cramps. That's the only bright side of this medication for me."


"After one pill I felt depressed and could not sleep that night.  I decided to stop taking the medication and will have it replaced with good old Amoxicilin."


"So, I started Belviq over a week ago and so far I'm liking the results. I have lost over 10lbs in the first week and I also have noticed my cravings are very minimal.  I do get full quickly and stay full. I'm eating normal portions and healthier choices. I cannot wait to see the rest of the time. I'm also working out 3-4X a week."


"I had nexplanon inserted September of 2015. I bled (mild to moderate) almost daily for nearly 3 months. By December my periods would come monthly, but they last for almost 2 weeks. The only plus side is minimal cramping. I've been constantly exhausted, have gained 10 lbs, and have no sex drive whatsoever. It has completely killed my sex life- not to mention the fact that I have been getting recurrent vaginitis since starting it. I promised myself I would give it 6 months and I'm counting the days until I have it removed. I guess the plus side is that I have not gotten pregnant, but maybe it's because I never have sex anymore because of it!"


"I'm a 40 year old male who after about 5 yrs of slowly progressing into a grumpy, fat, couch potato, went and got checked for low T.  Results showed it low at 250, with a free T level of 10, so the Dr put me on Axiron at 60 mg per day.  Axiron is the only prescription I have tried, and I have been on it for three months.  Got the three month results today and learned that my T levels (while taking Axiron) have DROPPED to 130 with a free T level of 3.  I never saw the benefits that most of you have.  This is the only place I saw mentioned that others have also had a decline in T while taking Axiron.  I be it is a lot more common than we know."


"I had been taking Saphris 10mg at bedtime for well over a year and then suddenly stopped taking it for a month to see how I would feel. In this month I was a wreck and had racing thoughts and couldn't fall asleep until 2am and would be up 6 hours later. I also found myself fantasizing about stuff and being unrealistic about things. I started taking it again close to a month ago and I really see how much it helps me. The only downside is that I sleep over 11 hours now and I get into such a deep sleep without waking up once."


"Well it did the job, and then some.  It cleared up my sinus infection, plus I had the lovely experience of having severe acne on my back from the drug.  I never break-out.  Then, a week after I stopped the 10 -day medication, I have a UTI, and vaginal bleeding (in between periods). I think it is insane that medication for a simple sinus infection can leave to several other complications."


"I started Lexapro 9 weeks ago for mild to moderate depression and anxiety.  My doctor started me at 10mg a day and I'm still taking the same dose.  Honestly, the first 3 weeks were tough.  No appetite, and very sleepy.  My head was in a fog and I couldn't think straight.  Then after the 4th week, I started to feel like my old self again.  The obsessive thoughts are very minimal now and I can get over things much better.  I sleep great now and feel good.  I recommend Lexapro to anyone that is suffering from depression and anxiety.  The depression is basically gone.  The anxiety is still there sometimes, but not nearly as bad as it was.  Stay patient, It works."


"I have had no problems with this clindamycin, no heartburn, nothing. It has helped me out a lot. Just do as the bottle says don't lay down for 10 mins and you should have no problems."


"Wow, finally a treatment that actually works in clearing dark spots! I was a skeptic, but within a week of using Tri-Luma Cream my dark spots were clear! I got a great price on Tri-Luma which was sold at my Dermatologist's office."


"I received my insert in November of 2015. My period stopped for the rest of November and December.  I didn't have any side effects.

Then comes January of 2016. Must be the new year. I don't know. But after January 1st struck...everything went downhill.  I started spotting constantly. I started getting acne around my chin. One zit goes away, 3 more appear. I started getting dizzy every time I went into the store. To the point where I stopped wanting to go to stores. I started feeling bloated and gross all the time. Gained 10 pounds which has taken 5 months to loose 6 of. And I'm talking about running 3 miles 5 days a week.

After spotting literally for almost 1/2 a year, I decided it's time to throw in the towel and get it removed :("


"I've been on and off this medication but nothing related to the drug. I was diagnosed with dysthymia one year ago and then it aggravated with a major depression so I started sertraline, after the adjustment period it was the best I was always happy with lots of energy, and lost 30 pounds in like 3 months, loved it. then my psych decided to change me to wellbutrin. I felt fine, with energy, and wanting to do stuff. because before I couldnt get up of my bed but, yes I felt the wellbutrin rage (those days when u look like u have PMS), I never lost a single pound on it (which i dont like).  But didn't appear to gain more weight either. Lately I'm feeling lightheaded, I dont sleep well cuz the vivid dreams, which makes me tired but the libido is back up"


"Great product with 45mg once per day.  "


"Great medication for agitation and sleep when taken in the evening. There is a bit of a hangover period for a couple of hours but that is acceptable to me for a full nights sleep. Much better than regular Seroquel which you better be near a bed soon after taking it. Seroquel XR is much smoother and gives me a chance to adjust to the sedation as I get ready for bed."


"I was taking Zofran for awful stomach upset with nausea because one of my other medicines I was on I picked up at pharmacy was a generic new form of medication to treat pain. This new medicine made me very sick. Zofran helped out a lot plus I could take it up to four times per-day. However, I'm also on Lexapro for depression and panic attacks. One day after 2 weeks on these meds I had severe shaking happening to me and I never felt this way before.. Come to find out taking both the Zofran and Lexapro on same day each day was high risk of a drug interaction very severe and I was having the symptoms of a bad interaction. I need to change my lexapro to another type of depression med. But, every depression med is bad with zofran."


"I'm taking this as a trial to see if it will help with facial nerve damage from Bell's Palsy. The first and second dose made me feel like I was drunk. After the third dose, I felt fine. I did learn that I needed to eat something before I take it. If I take it without eating, I can feel a little dizzy. Otherwise, I can see some improvement in my condition."


"Absolutely hands downs the best!  I read some of the neg posts on here and you must be taking it wrong.  no nasty taste and mine actually dissolves in like 10 minutes once I started leaving it alone after I put it in.  Doc made me watch a YouTube video that helped.  Plus it's free for me!!!!!"


"I'm 22 and thought this would help with my OAB. Instead it made me insanely nauseous and I couldn't stop throwing up. Really disappointed, I'm sure it works differently for everyone."


"Like one of the reviews above. I Went into ER with gastroenteritis symptoms. Could not keep down anything including water due to nausea and heavy vomitting of anything. Was given injection of zofran and a prescription for the generic ondansetron and felt less nauseous. Allows me to eat better and to sleep."


"I finally decided that I'd suffered with insomnia for long enough and my doctor prescribed 5mg of generic zopiclone.  I get the metallic taste shortly after taking it but I've learned to keep a small glass of OJ beside the bed. This medication has been my saving grace! I almost get excited when the metallic taste comes now because I know I'll be sleeping shortly thereafter! If you've suffered from insomnia like I have, a little metallic taste in your mouth is a SMALL PRICE TO PAY!  I highly recommend zopiclone for insomnia!"


"Took Cipro for a sinus infection.  Six days in I couldn't rotate my forearms. 3 years later, numerous doctors, two surgeries and my arms are practically useless.  FDA black box warning on it people. Google the drug. Do not ever take, fluoroquinolones are poison. They were originally developed to give to soldiers exposed to Anthrax.  And try to never take generic.  US Supreme Court says if you do you are not allowed to sue the original drug manufacturer OR the generic company you used. This drug ruined my life."


"I've been using Finacea on and off for many years!!  When I was originally diagnosed with rosacea, the treatment was continuous tetracycline.  A couple years later, it was my opthamologist who prescribed Finacea and the results were almost immediate.  My usual course of treatment is a morning facial wash with a gentle cleaner and then a few dabs of Finacea smoothed into the affected areas. And then there are periods when I don't use it all until I begin to see the initial telltales signs. Recently and years later, I had a flare-up of rosacea-related acne on my cheeks, a new occurence.  My dermatologist placed me on doxycycline and twice-a-day Finacea with excellent results in a matter of a few days.  It's been like a cure for me."


"Its more convenient then doing a breathing treatment every two hours. That said i made it to 1200mcg twice a day .the headaches and body aches are side affects I accept them to breath better . I am staying at 1200 mcg for 3weeks now . I still have headaches (migraines) and are not as bad as when I have advanced each week .so this is my vacation before raising my dosage. I'm in stage 3 of pulmonary arterial hypertension and not on oxygen as of yet . I do take two other helpful medicines to help out . As I progress on Uptravi doses I cut back on breathing treatments (Ventavis)one dose a week .As of today I have stopped Ventavis and rely on the Uptravi . I hope Uptravi is the answer for helping me breathe better."


"I've been taking Lunesta for about a month and cannot get any rest. Not sure if I need increase in the dosage. Yes, I have the bad taste. I take on empty stomach and stay up and just wait to go to sleep. Doesn't happen. "


"Ive been on this for about a month, and the first week was great. But then I started to bleed heavily, and it hasn't stopped for two weeks. I've got bad back aches and terrible acne, as well as bloating. I'm looking forward to switching off this and on to Lo Loestrin Fe."


"I've been on it for 4 days. No weight loss yet but it does decrease  appetite with very little  nausea. The needle is painless. I'll keep you posted :)"


"Did help me first day but not after that mainly due to the fact I have anxiety not insomnia. I was taking 3.5mg of it called zopiclone in UK. To be honest I think its usless in 3.5mg"


"I was only on this for one month . It made my liver levels spike for some reason. I also have anxiety and I cried at everything while on this like everything was heightened. I know one month is nothing review wise but I'm sure given time it would have been better. I needed a lower progesterone pill"


"Today is my first day taking the medication and within two hours I am ready to pass out. I feel so sleepy and its not really "regulating" my moods. In fact, I'm more aggravated than usual and going off on everybody. I also feel slightly nauseous and dizzy."


"I am missing vertebrates in my lower spine. I was just now prescribed Soma after taking Flexeril and Skelaxin  for severe muscle spasms. The Soma 350 works very well for me takes away the pain and the muscle spasms along with the strong pain medicine that I am taking. I don't have to take the pain medicine as often."


"This drug saved my life. I have severe irritable bowel syndrome for 20 years and it completely stopped all my symptoms for 4 months. My doctor recommended that I repeat the treatment every 3-4 months."


"Paxil has been very helpful with my anxiety, I'm not so tired and am much happier. The only bad thing I have to say about it is if you miss 2 days or more of it- it has the worst side effects I requested a refill to late (so it was my own fault) but I got shocking feelings in my head and finger tips I was light headed all the time and there were a few day I would wake up from a nights sleep and automatically start crying for no reason. I'm still on it and intend on still using it. Just make sure there's no room for cold turkey off of Paxil"


"The only side affect I received from this BC is hypoglycemia. This started happening a couple of weeks after taking it. At first it would happen after I went running, but then it started happening randomly/ without working out. And it was a SUDDENLY drop so there wasn't a way to prevent it. Once I thought about what changed and narrowed it down to when I started my BCs, I stopped taking them immediately (1 yr later). After ~4 days I went running and didn't experience hypoglycemia at all. From that point on I was hypoglycemic free. I don't think anyone knows about this side affect which is unfortunate. Just some background: I was 34, am a black female, and wasn't on any other medication."


"I have been on oxycontin and oxycodone for years. Up to 400 mg a day - and that was taken as prescribed. I'm not a drug addict but unfortunately medicines of this nature cause physical dependence and it doesn't matter if you use them as prescribed or not, after prolonged use, the withdrawal is horrific, to say the least. You don't need to be an addict to use Suboxone. Suboxone allows you to detox in a nice, comfortable and more importantly, a humane way. If you have pain, the pain will not go away. It's not perfect but it will take care of most of the detox symptoms in a way that you will be able to function. You don't have to go "cold turkey" and it's even better than "tapering off" what you're used to taking. Try Suboxone, it works."


"If you're considering using this I wouldn't recommend it. On the first week of using this I would find myself hysterically crying on the bathroom floor at night. I got really depressed while on it on the first week. On the second week literally on the 10th day of using this I got hives. I didn't stop using it hoping it would just go away. Wrong. It got so bad I was hospitalized for it"


"Abreva was a god-send. I  to apply at the first tingle and cold sore would not even develop .
 Fast forward a couple of years , (about 1-2 sores tried to come out per year but I was successful in full stop) Abreva no longer works.
It even appears to spread the blisters? I no longer feel the numbing sensation that I used to from the abreva cream.
I'm so disappointed ! I feel like I may have become immune to the cream or else the formula has changed."


"I had my Nexplanon inserted July 2016 after an accidental pregnancy and subsequent abortion. At first, the implant seemed like a dream. My period disappeared for the first three months. I did notice that my appetite was near nonexistent, which is not ideal for an active person. I went from working out 6 days a week to barely feeling good enough for the quick bike ride to work. As the months went on, my period got crazy - 14 day cycles - until this past month's 11 day period. Over the course of the last 8 months, I've forgotten who I am; my depression and anxiety have been surfacing much more frequently and I've gained 10 pounds. I got the implant out 2/21, and now I have the worst nausea of my life. I just want to feel like myself again."


"Can't afford to take it.  Its working I've been free of seizure for a long time "


"I'm 21 and this is my first experience with oral contraceptives. It's only been 7 days on this pill but I'm impatiently nervous about it. I take it at 8am every morning and I get bouts of nausea all day. I'm bloated and I retain water like crazy. I've always been prone to the occasional breakout, but this cystic acne is out of control and it has made my skin very sensitive to touch. On the plus side, my sex drive is great and my mood hasn't changed much. I suppose only time will tell whether my weight and acne will sort itself out."


"The worst weight-loss drug on the market, I actually gained four pounds."


"Important to know that all generics are not alike.Walgreens would get my cyclobenzaprine  from CAMBRA.They just stopped making it.Now Walgreen's gets it from a company in Mumbai India called CIPLA.I found them useless.Went on line and read all the poor patient reviews on many meds made by CIPLA.Now I will transfer my prescription to CVS and get their suppliers generic.No more brand name FLEXERIL anymore in the U.S. Do your research folks.Good luck."


"I've tried these several times over the years. Always had great results! I've never had any side effects. I was using creams, suppositories everything otc to no avail. but these have always helped. I normally get one to take but last time I went he gave me 4 it says as needed. That is his fault because he didn't tell me how to take it. But I took one and haven't had to use the other 3. So far so good! Whoever invented this was a great person because I've seen young and old taking this and they also have my same experience so bravo!!!"


"Used this for a few months as recommended to prevent my frequent and painful migraines that I've had since I was 12.

Depakote was okay I guess. I still had two major migraines while on it, and didn't give it any extra time because the side effects are awful! I wanted to sleep constantly. Felt depressed and irritable, and hated life! Plus, the weight gain alone I experienced in a couple months was absolutely enough reason for me to not want to be on it anymore.... I gained about 15-20 lbs!"


"Spinal fusion pain is often severe while usually moderate. My doctor prescribed 100 mcgs for the usual 72 hrs., but after about 6 weeks of use I entered into painful, often agonizing withdrawal symptoms during the night and had to replace my lost, misplaced patch. Pain relief is satisfactory, but I find the Transdermal system's adhesion properties unreliable at best.

Tegaderm adhesive film is essential for extra security while holding the patch to the skin. Unfortunately, my Fentanyl patches are vulnerable to moisture and prematurely weaken, even with the added film."


"After two years on the pill, I decided to try this product as my method of birth control.

Pros:

- You don't have to remember to take a pill every single day

- You can't feel it when it's in

- You partner won't really feel it during sex after a few times

- It works! I have even left it in for up to four weeks to prevent my period from starting during an important event or a vacation

Cons:

- You may be very dry. I'm not sure why but even when you are aroused it is difficult to "self lubricate." But that's nothing some lube won't fix."


"I've been on this drug for a little over a month now (lowest dose) along with clonazapam, and trazodone for sleep (all low dose).  Like others have said this has changed my life...it felt like I literally changed overnight for the better.  I stil have small crying spells and get agitated, but mostly I'm happy.  I feel I can talk to anyone now, have lots more confidence, and feel way more motivated. One thing too is that since I am motivated and keep myself, busy I don't overeat like I did when I was going through my major ups and downs.  Like others have stated, talk therapy in conjunction with these meds helps tremendously.  What also helps is having a good support group too :)"


"I have a back injury of my L1 through to L5 vertebrate. Compressed and causing my discs to protrude and press on my spinal cord also have degenerating discs and spinal stenosis. I'm only 38 but had injury when I was 4, car accident at 25. These made a World of difference. I'm prescribed to take 6 a day but only take 3-4. I can take one and in 45min to 1hour I can bend over to stretch and feel my spine which would feel stiff and locked up separate. It doesn't take the pain away completely due to the extent of my injury but definitely kills that UNGODLY and nagging pain and gives me mobility."


"I've started experiencing insomnia quite severely lately. I think my plate is just too full and I'm too busy that my brain hasn't been shutting off at night and I lay there feeling relaxed but not actually relaxed. Anyway, my doc prescribed temazepam to replace Ambien (which I was on for years) since I would lay away for 6 or 7 hrs and only get an hour or two of sleep. I really felt this medicine "turn off" my brain. The first night or two I fell asleep right away but since then it's been really hit or miss. I feel so calm and not thinking about anything but yet I'm wide awake until 2 or 3 am (I get up at 5 am). I've been on it for about a month now and still having trouble falling asleep. Out of the 5 nights this week, I had 3 sleepless nights."


"When Cymbalta became available I was trying it for dysthymia, but found my fibromyalgia and neuropathy became much better. I think it's worth trying, it worked wonders for me and I started taking it with the attitude that it wasn't going to work."


"I liked this medication when I first got it but after awhile I started to get migraines, dizziness, hot flashes, weight gain, heavy bleeding and severe depression."


"Took 1/2 tab 1st nite and woke with NO itchy eyes, NO CONGESTION, breathing good but a headache, two Tylenol and ok.  Tonite took a whole tab by mistake and started feeling not so good. Sorta depressed and my lower back is itchy."


"I work a rotating 12 hour shift 3 days, 3 days off, 3 nights. I have been taking 400 mg a day for 5 years and I cannot say anything bad about this medication."


"Purchased Recti Care 5% Lidocaine cream, have tried on hemorrhoid pain several times. This stuff does not work. There was absolutely not one smidgen of difference in the pain. Plus this stuff is terrible expensive.  WHAT A WASTE! I will keep it for bug bites, I guess. Hopefully it will work better on them."


"First off, THIS BIRTH CONTROL EFFECTS EVERYONE DIFFERENTLY! I originally went to this site after I booked my appointment for insertion just to get a feel for what I was in for. I only saw horribly negative things. My own experience has been fine. Everything that you expect to happen on birth control does. My emotions got the best of me, but they leveled out. I had spurts of acne, but having the correct soap for your face makes all the difference. My period has been off, lots of spotting, but it's really nothing that isn't manageable. My sex drive is better than ever. And I havent gained any weight. The insertion process is quick and painless. I'm also not pregnant! Seriously, try it for yourself, every body is different."


"I have very minor uninary leakage mostly with coughing or sneezing but also have to get up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom.  My doctor put me on Oxybutinin 15 mg ER. Pharmacist said to take at night before bed due to side effect of drowsiness. I took one pill and had insomnia all night. The next day I was groggy, dizzy, foggy head, dry nose, dry throat and mouth. The dryness was so bad my nose and throat actually ached and had a stinging sensation. The grogginess and extreme dizziness got worse as the day went on.  I will never take this drug again even in a smaller dose. If it does all this with just one pill what is it doing to my body over a long term?? I will stick to pads and trips to bathroom. Watch what I drink..no caffeine."


"Had  to come off this med, experienced many side effects.  My doctor put me on Lamictal (along with my anti-depressant and this combo worked well for me."


"Had a raging toothache in a tooth that had a root canal several years prior.  Dentist thinks hidden canal may not have been cleared, but could also have been sinusitis, as the toothache coincided with bad head cold.  Anyway, I am allergic to most narcotic pain killers, so could only go with mega doses of ibuprofin to make tolerable and he prescribed clyndamycin for the infection, as I am also allergic to most penicillins.  300 mg 4x/day.  Started to feel pain relief after 7th-8th dose (i.e., 40 hours).  See lots of scary side effects here, but haven't had them yet myself.  Just take with meal and lost of water.  A little loose stool, but I'll take that over the tooth pain any day."


"I am only taking the time to write this review because I see so many negative ones. I'd hate to see someone not take it and risk an infection getting worse! This drug does work, cleared up my UTI in 2 days. There are some not pleasant side effects--  Nausea, I've been feeling this one all week, body ache and chills, only on the first day. In my unique case I'd take any pain in the world over having a strong urge to use the restroom every 30 seconds and intense burning. I've taken this drug once before and felt fine. Talk to the dr. if you're concerned, there are other medications out there!"


"I developed a huge facial wart under my nose, it protruded from my face my a few millimetres. local dermatologist they told me it had to be cut off because it was too big. or burnt, each of which would leave a huge scar in the middle of my face. I did some searching online and found aldara. I asked my doctor and he wrote a script.best decision i made. I think i used it for a few days at night putting a small amount on the wart only, then a few days off (5 on 3 off i think it was. in the middle it got a bit red so i stopped for a week and then started again. slow to start, but about 6 weeks later, completely gone and ZERO scar. HIGHLY recommend this product for facial warts."


"At first I thought it was another case of poison ivy but it would not go away. After a month I went to the Doctor. He prescribed Levocetirizine. It went away the first day. I go off it for a week and when the conditions starts again I take the prescription and it immediately goes away! Amazing!"


"I am 51 and suffered with migraines since about age 20; didn't get Imitrex until my early 30's.  It has saved my life, without it I was worthless for a day. Fortunately I can cut 100mg into 3 and it works for me.  I would lay down for 20 minutes and headache gone. Recently I have had to use the generic and didn't think anything of it and have found I need to take a 100mg and now I get side effects I didn't before.  Just the weird feelings from vasodilatation in my chest and sometimes my legs.  Sometimes the 100mg doesn't take it completely away. I am a nurse and will look for another alternative because I would have to pay $600 for 3 boxes out of pocket if I want the brand."


"I was just diagnosed Nov. 2014. Started on Copaxone 40 mg just a couple of weeks later. I have had all of the typical site reactions with every injection. The worst has been the itching. That of which I have been unable to control with ANYTHING until this last injection. I researched and have used every over the counter remedy. Started looking at the natural remedies for itching. Could not bare to invest any more money. Came across the use of oatmeal for itching (forgot all about that). I had steal cut oats on hand. Ground them into a flour-like texture. Put the ground oatmeal in a cheap knee high stocking, dipped it in hot water, allowed the concoction to drain so that it was not messy but still wet. Apply. AMAZING RELIEF."


"Great method is you dont wanna get pregnant. I have had the implanon for two years. It just makes me feel sad and I have a lot of mood swings I really don't want it anymore"


"I've had depression for years (runs in family). I was on Prozac (didn't do much) then switched to Zoloft. After a while on Zoloft I noticed that I felt like a zombie, almost devoid of emotion but prone to rage at times. I switched to Lexapro and it was as if a light had been turned on. Wow! I had energy and positive thoughts again plus MOTIVATION, which had been completely lacking on Zoloft and Prozac. I did have headaches but started taking the pill at night which worked. I would stay on Lexapro and give it a 10 rating, however lately I've felt quite jumpy and nervous. Sometimes I feel a little anxious but not bad. I'm going to now try Celexa, which is supposed to be much like Lexapro but with less anxiety."


"After day 3,  had difficulty swallowing and terrible anxiety badly enough that I couldn't swallow pills or food without regurgitation. I started taking Prilosec thinking acid reflux. Even an Advil pill creeped up my esophagus and lodged into my throat. It went from bad to worse.  Was living on a liquid diet. Had to see a Gastro doc and Ear Nose and Throat doc. My throat was scoped, found nothing. 3 days after getting off both Macrobid and Prilosec my symptoms went away. Fourth day off was given a swallow test which I passed. I am now able to eat solid foods without feeling as if I am going to choke to death."


"For 20 years I depended on alcohol as a crutch whenever I was faced with a challenge.  One day, after puking in the toilet for an hour, I decided enough is enough.  I switched to heroin.  That lasted for about 3 years until I was thrown in jail for driving under the influence.  I decided that it was time to start giving my money to big pharmaceutical companies instead of drug dealers, and I was determined to stay clean.  I'm a professor at a major university with various prestigious accolades.  I was living a double life.  Teaching students classical greek by day, needles and whiskey at night.  Thank you Campral."


"I took the pill four hours after sex and a few weeks later found out I was pregnant. So for me it wasn't effective at all. Also, as it warned me on the box I almost vomited, luckily I didn't but it was a close call."


"Works much better then anything I have ever tried for my psoriasis.  The flaking from my scalp is probably reduced by 98%."


"I started phentermine on 5-26-2015. First day taking it, I got shaky, the chills, and my heart raced, but it will be 2 weeks tomorrow and those symptoms are no longer there. Unfortunately I don't get much energy as others described, but my appetite has decreased a lot and I get fuller easily. I've lost 15lbs so far, but I eat about 1300 to 1600 calories a day, and walk every day."


"I started taking Adipex because I was tired of my stomach sitting in my lap to make a long story short. I started out weighing 205lbs and in 4 months I was down to 167lbs losing a total of 39 pounds. I love Adipex along with taking the pill. I took the B12 shot and Lipo birth control pills. I feel great."


"This is literally a nightmare for your skin. On the week where you aren't taking the pill, my skin literally dried up. And almost immediately on the first day of taking the the pill after the break week, I will wake up the next morning with a cyst or two on my chin. I am done using this for good. Destroys your skin."


"I have severe spinal stenosis and ddd. Not to mention a list of other things that cause me pain and loss of sleep . Kaiser  has taken me off of soma and I have tried several other muscle relaxers none work for me and the side effects were unbearable!.

My quality of life has deminished soon, I won't be able to get out of bed. When I was taking Soma to control my pain From spasms this was a miracle medicine . I have never had any side effects from it at all .

Would a doctor stop giving medicine for other conditions like diabetes or heart disease No! But they did with Soma . Due to this issue I will be laying in bed for Christmas yeah Merry Christmas ! I cried myself to sleep last night . Thank you Kaiser that's your plan for me live in pain"


"Quit using Zyban over 29 years ago. Quitting with Zyban was the easiest thing to do. Tried to quit by ALL of the other methods without success. All I did was follow the directions faithfully and changed my routing for the first morning only. I never looked back or had those ghost cravings.

I found I was able to have the occasional cigar without issue.

TOTALLY recommend this method... Weaned myself off Zyban by just forgetting to take the meds more frequently as time went on."


"Does exactly what it says it does.  Helps stream and urine flow and eases discomfort.  Absolutely kills sex drive, causes abnormal ejaculate and possibly causes irritability.  Hopefully something better comes along, but I need it.  Take if you need it, but avoid if you can."


"I was on Restasis (was on it for 8 months) and that not do too much so I heard about Xiidra and my Dr. agreed to have me try it.  I have a very severe case of dry eye to a degree that it has affected my life so I am willing to try anything. I also tried Lipiflow and that did absolutely nothing due to my Meibomian glands being so thick and blocked-waste of money!  So far I have only been on Xiidra for 6 days and both of my eyes are starting to feel lubricated!  If this continues to work and improve my eyes, OMG I will be so thrilled.. I gave it an 8 only because it's just been 6 days so I want to see if my eyes improve even more.  But I think that is a pretty good start!  Very happy so far that I have tried it!"


"After  weeks medication notice severe mood change, very irritable."


"It not only gave me sweats, chills, diareah and massive headaches, it also gave me tons of red and purple spots all over my body and a rare form of psoriasis. Yay. This drug sucked"


"I have been on Saxenda for several months now. It is the only thing I have been on where I see consistent weight loss. I am down 25lbs. Yes, there are side effects. However, I realized that most of the burping, throwing up, and gas is due to eating fried foods or greasy foods. I learned that with this medicine you have to eat healthy. You can't expect to lose weight and continue to eat the same way, well you can if you plan on being sick daily. Once I stopped eating that stuff, I have gone without the gas, the throwing up and burping side effects. In addition, the side effects are not gone because my body is used to the medication. After weeks without being sick, I went out of town and the side effects returned, because my bad eating habits returned as well."


"Have been on Saphris for five weeks now. Aggitation has stopped no more headaches and the racing thoughts have stopped as well. Still hypo manic and cycling but mood has improved and less anxiety. Very glad to be on it."


"Works great for me"


"On Humira for two years now and what a difference it has made. I am no longer using a cane to walk and psoriasis is under control. Still some problems with my hands but I can do Yoga and hike again."


"Best birth control I have used. Only downside is a little libido loss. Besides that, it's wonderful. No more periods, no weight gain (Actually I've been able to lose some).

I love it!"


"I had a toothache that was so painful it brought me to my knees and into tears. I also have a great tolerance to pain. This is the only thing that helped until I went to the dentist. Overall I am very happy with the results of this medication."


"I'm going through the same thing right now. I used to pay 10 and now they want $40 for Ocella. I'm a college student, I can't afford that every month. So I'm looking into Apri now, as my doctor recommended. Overall, I was fine with Ocella and Yasmin. It made my boobs bigger, clears my face, and I always know when I'll get my period.

"


"Having been on Estelle-35 for nearly a year (which gave me the worst acne of my life, 10 x worse than it already was), I decided to change to Yaz. I'm in my third month of taking it and I think I've broken out (4-6 spots at the same time) twice, whereas before I was getting 4-6 new spots per day. No initial breakouts. Only had one cyst in nearly three months.

The only side effect was my fault - I didn't wait until my period to start taking them and had breakthrough bleeding for around three weeks.

I haven't experienced any weight gain, headaches etc.

If you're deciding whether to try the pill for your acne, just do it. Seriously. It's done wonders for my confidence and anxiety, and I can actually look people in the eye now!"


"I typically use a generic version of this product, but for some reason THIS time around I insisted that my hubby get the Monistat brand. To prove that it was Monistat, I'll say this. I actually had some leftover generic cream and used it without burning. The next night, I used the Monistat and it felt like I put tabasco sauce in my privates. I thought that maybe this was due to the fact that I had a yeast infection and maybe my sensitive parts were just responding to the medicine. Nope! The burning was so bad I couldn't go to sleep the first night and the second night was even WORSE! I ended up taking a warm soda bath and it's feeling a bit better, but still hurting. Never again!"


"Oh God. Had mine put in 8 months ago. It will keep you from getting pregnant, but lordy! Have had serious cramps, been physically sick, no sex drive, 20lb weight gain.. Decided to have it removed. They said that it had expelled and it had came out of the uterus prior to the visit. I'm still cramping 3 days later. I feel like I've been kicked in the uterus. Don't do it."


"I have suffered from migraine for many years. Before I started using Imitrex (about 15 years ago) some migraines would affect me for days. I missed out on so much back then. Imitrex changed that. I normally can take one dose and get complete relief in an hour. The only side effect that I have ever suffered is sleepiness but it's not so severe that I can't take Imitrex while working if a migraine strikes. This medication has been a life saver for me and changed my quality of life."


"I love this medication for the positive affects as far as helping my depression and such. I have been on it for over 10 years. I thought about getting off of it a few years ago and had horrible withdrawal symptoms. It is almost like electricity running through your head and face. If I miss two doses I am flat on my back sick. I can't keep my eyes open because of the visual disturbances. Its like all of my senses are heightened and when I move my head it almost feels like everything kind of moves with a short shift. Needless to say. I didn't get off of it. It is really strange. The withdrawal  symptoms lasted more than a week and didn't improve until I started taking it again."


"I took one pill that gave me a terrible stomach ache that lasted three days."


"The first month was the worst. I had a lot if mood swings and very tender breasts. After that the side effects have been very minimal. I no longer have my period, but around the time I used to get my period every month I get light cramps. I also get very tender breasts during this time but they have gotten bigger since taking the birth control. The only major complaint I have is that I've had a major decrease in sex drive as well as being very tired in the morning. I switched to this birth control because I got very sick every morning. I like this one much better."


"I was given this while living in the Philippines as a combo med with Acetaminophen. It worked better than any pain medicine I had ever used without the side effects of stomach upset (Ibuprofen) or fatigue, sleepiness (codeine).  "


"Been taking anastrozole for approximately two and one half years.  First year hot flashes but no other problems.  Started the joint pain about a year ago, tiredness, swelling and problems listed by other users.  Most worrisome side affect is the loss of lung function.  I have had Pulmonary Fibrosis for several years but until about a year ago have been able to live with the condition with no major problems.  Told several doctors about my problems with breathing but none have suggested it was anastrozole until my Pharm D told me pulmomary odema was also a side effect of the drug.  Left a message with my oncologist this morning that I was going to stop taking the drug.  Have an appointment with my pulmonologist next week for an evaluation."


"Worked almost immediately for spinal injection anxiety"


"This isn't a weight loss medicine, its a bottle of will power.  Food cravings are gone and weight is dropping fast.  I drink less beer, no more snacking, and my portion sizes are 1/3 of what they used to be.  I haven't had any side effects yet either.  Take the 15 day trial and see if it works for you.  Good luck!"


"Since taking nifedipine (fast acting/quick release), I can keep my Raynaud's symptoms at bay.  I take it 10mg 3x a day, and it is a wonder drug."


"I have had acne since I was 12 and I am now 29. I have tried everything from roaccutane to expensive cosmetic treatments to diets. I was nervous about going on yasmin as I took a pill previously called gedarel for my skin, which made me feel mental. Yasmin did make me feel a tiny bit moody but that was the only symptom. First month I broke out terribly. It was the worst break out in about 2 years. I am now on my 2nd month pack and skin is starting to clear. I do follow a strict skincare regime as well, always removing makeup, using toner and a good oil free moisturiser (dermalogica-active moist is the best cream I have ever come across for acne prone skin). I also exfoliate 2 times a week with glycolic peel."


"Had a bad reaction of hives and burning skin to this medicine.  Tried it twice, worse reaction second time. Not good."


"I always read reviews, but this is the first time I have ever felt the need to comment on anything online. I am on Wellbutrin 300mg and recently began Latuda 40mg and a month later Topamax. I didn't realize it was working until I noticed that EVERY relationship in my life had improved. My relationship with my husband, mother, siblings, kids, etc. My appetite began to increase so my doctor added Topamax and I regrettably stopped Latuda thinking they were both the same. Well I did stop eating as much, but a week later it was like I had lost all that progress. I was back to my old irritable unstable self. I will give Latuda credit for being the first and only medicine to make me "normal". "


"I have been on different kinds of pain medicines for years for chronic pain resulting from car accident and 3 back surgeries. When I was taking oral medicines I was always waiting for the medicines to start working and watching the clock to take another one. I went to a new pain management doctor he put me on the patch. I noticed a difference the first day. It was much better than my oral medicines. The doctor has just increased my dosage to 50mg/h. It is great. The only real side effects I have had is dry month and I sweat more. But those side effects are well worth the pain control I receive. I am back to work, I don't have to miss any days or leave early because of pain. No more ups and downs. He has me changing the patch every 48 hours."


"Ambien has been a blessing for me.  Without it I often didn't sleep more than an hour or two a day for weeks at a time.  Now at least every other day I get almost a full night of sleep.  Yes, I know, it isn't free of side effects, but, if you can stand them, it sure is a relief to be able to get some healing sleep."


"Took depakote for almost ten years (300 x 3)...now I will admit I had three minor episodes in that time. Super, yes, I know but I started at 140 lbs in six months I bottomed out at 206lbs. I slept 12 hours a night, plus a nap of 2 hours in the evening. Someone finally caught the Depakote/Paxil fiasco, and lithium and wellbutrin became my friends...more importantly, I feel like I "woke up". I lived the life, but it seemed so surreal looking back on it...IT completely controlled me. It's not the Wellbutrin and the Paxil, it's the lack of Depakote (and for a large part, Paxil) that made me almost another person. I'm sure Depakote works for thousands of people...it just took me out of the equation TOO much."


"I have been on Brintellix 10 mg and increased to 20 mg on 02/19/2014. I have experienced dry mouth, dizziness, forgetfulness, no desire to eat, weight loss of 11 lbs in 10 days, which is good considering I'm overweight, this can't be a bad thing, and wake up often, however, I am in a happier mood and not so stressed out. I have been on Brintellix for a total of 11 days. Hope the yucky side effects go away soon. I have tried almost everything else and nothing has worked mood wise for me as good as this is."


"I love this birth control. I have been on it for 3 years. The things I like most about it is, my period is always on time, I bleed a little lighter. I don't break out from ache as much and of course I am NOT pregnant. The ONLY issue I have with this birth control is it gives me a TERRIBLE headache every once in a blue moon, but I can handle that. But overall this birth control is GREAT and I highly recommend those who are seeking birth control to choose  Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo."


"I have had chronic kidney stones for 10 yrs. Over 200 stones, over 35 stone related surgeries. Can't take Toradol, Morphine, or Zofran. 2 mg of Dilaudid IV and Phenegran eases the pain in about 30-45 seconds-flat. Just close your eyes and sleep--immediately. It doesn't last a long time, 3-4 hrs. However, the relief is almost instant and complete. No drug I have ever taken compares. Can make you loopy, and NO DRIVING!!! I only take it when the pain is unbearable-it is very addictive, if over used."


"Was given for chronic sinusitis for 10 days, with prednisone for 3 days at the beginning. Gave me extreme nausea and some diarrhea, dizzy and weak, by day 4 second dose, was having trouble standing up/walking or sitting up, weak legs, breathing felt funny, talking funny, went to er. There for 6 hours for fluids and anti-nausea medicine. Still have loose bowels a week later. Still have sinus infection. Scary"


"I'm a horrible diabetic.  I eat anything I want and never check my sugar. I've been on Trulicity for approx. 8 mos and I think its a  wonder drug.  My A1C was 7 and I eat sweets and quit exercising because of surgery and it still went down. I take 26U of Levemir  but guessing that will be cut down. I didn't realize the Trulicity dose had been increased two months ago, but am relieved to know. I thought I was dying due to uncontrolled diarrhea and public accidents. Horrifying, but am adjusting to increased dose and can't wait until next week to see what my A1C is. I hate taking medication and do have side effects, but usually adjust after a period and feel pretty good. Much better than having an A1C over 9, and high sugars. Don't give up."


"This medication has been very effective in controlling my rosacea symptoms.  Since it has a cream base, it helps with my dry skin as well."


"I began taking Fanapt back in December of 2013 as recommended a psychiatrist when in the psych ward getting my anti-psychotic med readjusted. It works good. I won't say great because I have not had any more problems since taking it. I have a couple side effects that are listed. but would get them anyway either due to my brain injury or other medications that I take."


"I was pleased with the results (Doctor samples) but, when I got a prescription, I was flabbergasted by the price.  Average cost for 5mg is over $300.00. None of my current 3 month supplies are anywhere near this price. I would have to increase my Medicare plan to a 4 tier plan which would cost an additional $99.00 per month......no savings there. No thanks.......I cannot fathom why the pharmacuetical companies charge so much or how they get away with it."


"Taking this as preparation for colonoscopy.  4 tablets with a LOT of liquid (at least two quarts), and seven hours later it started to work. No cramping, vomiting or other side effects mentioned in so many reviews, just movement out.  I think that taking a huge amount of water really helps.  Super easy!"


"I am a food addict. The first day I took Contrave, I lost desire to eat. Cravings no longer consume me. The feeling of fullness occurs now, and lingers for hours. I am only on day 3, but I hope this continues. Logging foods on fitness pal helps. No snacks, and 3 healthy meals a day. I don't feel Hungary at all. It is wonderful. I was considering gastric bypass, this was going to be my last attempt. If I continue to feel this way, I won't need surgery."


"I have suffered with peripheral neuropathy in my neck spine for 3 plus years. Started with neck pain and 4 doctors who couldn't diagnose the problem. My 5th doctor who is now my family doctor, put me on 3600 mg of gabapentin a day  and  referred me to a neurosurgeon who found the problem in my neck, surgery was performed to correct the problem plus gabapentin (3600 mg a day), plus other medications I was taking prior to surgery as directed by my new family doctor.
My point being, My symptoms of neck pain, arm pain, and leg pain were initially diagnosed as arthritis by 4 doctors. My family doctor and neurosurgeon in combination with gabapentin, the pain and suffering is now 90% reduced to a livable existence. I am 74 years old."


"I am a senior business executive that run a daily regimen of 300mg Venlafaxine, amongst other things.  I have been on it for 11 years, and it saved my life.  I have suffered from severe depression since early childhood, but through a combination of intelligence, willpower and sheer drive I managed to function and build a stellar academic and professional career.  By my late 20s things were starting to unravel though, and it was just a matter of time before suicide or my high-risk lifestyle took my life.  Venlafaxine changed all that, it saved my life.  It wasn't overnight, and over the years I added many more medications to the regimen, but in the end it given me a chance. "


"I had Implanon inserted in November 2008 after being on the Depo shot for 9 years. For the first 5 months I had no signs of bleeding or any other side effects. One day I started spotting and haven't stopped since. Some days it is super light, some days it is like a regular period. Thinking of having it removed because I don't know if I can keep this up for the 6-8 months others have mentioned.
Otherwise, it has been great."


"Seeing all the positive reviews its upsetting it didn't work out for me. I started losing my hair very rapidly. My hair is the thinest its ever been in my entire life. So I stopped taking it."
