"I had a sleep study done and had close to 300 leg movements a hr. Enough to drive anyone crazy. Not to mention no sleep. My neurologist tried requip no help, Mirapex,  no help. Then we tried neupro,  I take 6 mg patch and it is a miracle drug for me. If I miss putting on a new one I can tell in less then 5 min that I'm in for the leg war n no sleep. Only problem I had was when I applied then to the back of my shoulders, it gave me a bad skin reaction, very red and open wound.  Take to my doc he said there were 8 places to apply.  I chose my upper thighs near my hips and have not had any problems since. For me no patch no sleep. I'm also prescribed klonopin 1 mg at bedtime and 1 to 2 oxycodone  5/ 325 . And together it's the perfect combo ."


"I had side effects beginning Seroquel which subsided after 6 weeks, I grew to appreciate this drug it did wonders for my racing thoughts, plus sleep. BUT now need to come off it after many years omg- even tapering its horrible, I'm off it now and I’m suffering withdrawals. So extreme lethargic, depressed, fluey, had 2 weeks of random vomiting plus still had  nausea and can hardly look at food. I used to call Seroquel my friend and smile but now my light headed ness is back. I wish I had energy and could eat well. 2 weeks this could last or more. Just putting this out there, I was a fan and still am I guess of this drug, but coming off is hard. I hardly ever get side effects and have gone off quickly with some, but this - this is hard, this is"


"After complaining to my doctor that I couldn't fall asleep and when I did, the slightest noise could wake me up he prescribed me 50mg of this pill and it has not been working. The first two nights I felt a little drowsy about 2 1/2 hours after taking the pill. Now it does nothing to help promote sleep."


"I’ve been on this medication for 2 years now, when I first started taking it it made me sick to my stomach after about 4 months I was fine. It helped me a lot I’m anemic andIi was also having periods for 2-3 weeks straight and then 2 days off and then it started again. My periods also made me pass out and throw up I could work out with my sport teams or run while I was on it I would get dizzy and a lot of the time pass out  or have to leave school because of barely being able to stand at school. Love this but everyone is different."


"I've been on Tri-Sprintec for 1.5 months now. The plus is that Tri-Sprintec doesn't make me want to put a period to my life, like my last birth control did! Side effects include bad nausea for the first month, and my period randomly started too early just yesterday (2nd week of my 2nd month). But overall, I'm satisfied - no major weight gain that I can tell, and no acne. I'm planning to wait 3-4 months to see whether the side effects level out. I join with others in saying that every woman's body is different. Read these posts to get a sense of some common side effects, but don't panic if something different happens, and be glad if nothing happens at all! Call your doctor to make sure your symptoms aren't anything to worry about."


"This medicine turned me into a complete idiot! Due to the dilated pupils you could throw reading and depth perception out the window for the three days this drug was in my system. Stairs and elevator buttons were a real source of entertainment for the rest of our party "helping me" lol.

Due to a possible conflicting drug interaction (or lack therof) with the way this medication effects the absorption of other medications through your digestive trac, my ADD medicine either didn't work at all, or a possible interaction of the two made my short term memory nonexistent! I would literally ask a question and ask it again in less than 5 minutes.

Really scary stuff, didn't even feel comfortable driving back home after getting off our cruise!"


"The respiclick simply does not work.  I have used it repeatedly when my asthma has flared up and never experienced ANY relief.  Not even sure anything comes out after the click even.  I have been relying on my maintenance DULERA inhaler for rescue situations.  Annoyed and will be talking to my doctor tomorrow about an alternative.   Garbage product."


"I have been taking 5mg of Brintellix for a week now. So far, I think it has greatly helped my depression. Unfortunately, it seems to be making me very, very sleepy all the time and it has caused a bit of nausea. I am hoping the side effects will wane over the next couple of weeks. There is some great news besides it helping with my major depression- I have not experienced any sexual side effects like I did on Zoloft."


"I have chronic back pain.  I take this medication as needed.  This medicine has allowed me to go back to enjoying children, gardening, camping, etc.  I have small children so this medication really helps with pain while allowing me to be fully functional as well.  Doesn't make me loopy or nauseous.  This has been a wonder-drug for me."


"I got the Nexplanon on April 8, 2014 and so far it's not so bad. I realized I started breaking out and my face got more oily for maybe 4 days at the most after getting it and I haven't had acne since. It's given me confidence in my body and I've been able to control my meals. After reading most of the reviews no ones really experienced abdominal pains. Well I have and it sucks. I mean to me it kinda gives you symptoms as if you are pregnant but it DEFINITELY prevents pregnancy, promise you that! I just recently started spotting 3 days ago and so far it's pretty light. Right now I'm hoping to not bleed for months because I'm deploying at the end of this month so yea I DO NOT! DO NOT! want to deal with that."


"I was first on the pill, and could NEVER remember to take it everyday, so I was looking up other methods. I was reading reviews about the Implanon and I was scared of getting this. The initial insertion didn't really hurt that bad, only the anesthetic was a little sting. I've had mine in for almost a year and I LOVE it! I've had spotting here and there but nothing major at all. I haven't experienced any other side effects. I was worried about weight gain, but haven't gained any!
This is the best birth control I think any woman could ever use!"


"I was taking 300mg every day the generic for years along with zanex for anxiety. My dr upped the dosage to 450mg every day. I just got the name brand and it's completely different!!!! My life has new meaning the generic is not half as good. I no longer need the zanex and have no problems going out or living my life now. This medication ( name brand Welbutrin) should be available to anyone that needs it. The generic is horrible loaded with side effects shaking, headache, nausea, and extream bouts of anxiety that do not occur with the name brand!!! I am shocked the generic for this medication is permitted to mascrade as the equivalent is not even close!!!"


"Switching to Seasonique was the best thing I ever did for my body.  I responded much better to the same hormone level for three months, opposed to the weekly changes I made when I was on Ortho-Tri. I have more energy and my skin is even better than it was on the Ortho-Tri. I have had very little spotting, barely noticeable. I recommend this to anyone, especially if you are not happy with your current pill."


"I have been taking this medication for about three months now. It has cleared up 80% of my acne, and I have not gotten any new acne since I've been on it. Also, I haven't lost any hair, or had any side effects/problems while on this medication."


"100mg patch Estradot- applied twice weekly.

Keeps me sane ,and virtually anxiety free.

The adhesive on this brand does nt make welts on my skin

Only drawback is removing the Glue Spots.:-)

When using Hot Spas or I need to apply creams to dry skin, I use an

Estrogel  sachet .this allows the freshly applied patch to catch up.

Absolutely satisfied & happy with this medication.

** on PBS IN Australlia.

Lowest dose Venlafaxine added when family drama hit me like a bolt."


"So don't let the reviews deter you from trying this form of birth control. Every body is different every person has different reactions to every medication.

My personal experience with nexplanon has been wonderful. It's helped my acne, my period has dwindled to nonexistent. I never got the bleeding for 6 months but my doctor warned me that that could happen so I went in knowing that it was a possibility. The reason why it took so well may have been because I was on the NuvaRing for such a long time and it's essentially the same hormones so that may have helped?

Please give it a shot it's worked out well for me and it may work out well for you."


"My doctor recommended I take Lo Loestrin Fe since I suffer from migraines and needed a low dose birth control. I have been taking Lo Loestrin for about 7 months now and I have no period whatsoever. I have been a bit concerned because my sex drive is also low. Other than that I like Lo Loestrin because I get no more migraines. Hopefully I get a period soon just to have a piece of mind. One thing, it runs expensive, its started off at $6 with my insurance and now its $35."


"The first night I took it I slept for 16 hours straight (15 mgs).  When I finally forced myself to get out of bed, I had this insatiable appetite.  I also walked around like a zombie feeling groggy for the next day and a half.  I took it on a Saturday night knowing that I didn't have to be anywhere the following day (good thing)  Needless to say, I stopped taking it."


"I'm prescribed Avita along with clindamycin phosphate and these products are the ONLY products that's able to clear my skin. In addition my skin is left with a luminous glow, texture and dark spots are cleared also. My skin is extra soft too, and though I'm only 18 and do not have wrinkles, I get 0% of its presence (due to dry skin usually left with expression lines. However with the use of this medicine I don't)."


"Taking 2 pills twice a day everyday something new for a side effect , great way to loose weight . Don't feel like eating at all I do is keep my self hydrated with fluids to thin the phlegm so I can cough it loose and get the rest out of my system. Can't wait till I can stop taking it . Also think it's shredding my red blood cells feel tired and sometimes dizzy and weak"


"Cymbalta has helped me so much with horrible fibromyalgia pain.  It has also helped a great deal with anxiety.  However, I no longer believe I can handle the side effects. I have gained over 20 pounds in less than 4 months, despite exercise and calorie restriction.  I have severe constipation, very odd dreams, and hot flashes.  It is such a shame, because my fibromyalgia is so much better with Cymbalta."


"Worked beautifully in reducing my BP from 190/104 down to normotensive readings of 120/72. However, as with the other meds that were tried, I had intolerable side effects like GERD, abdominal bloating and malaise. My

internal med PA-C changed me to Losartan

(since the ARB class of drug relieved my hypertension) but this time without the HCT diuretic, and the results have been wonderful. Same BP effect without the high cost (luckily we trialed the Benicar HCT with professional free samples!), side effects, or need to excessively hydrate to balance the diuretic."


"A friend of mine told me to take Bonine because I have horrible morning sickness. I'm pregnant with my third child and it's an awful thing to have to chase after two kids with morning sickness! It worked wonders for me. I would tell everyone to at least try it!"


"I had painful and extreme cystic acne in isolated areas on both sides of my chin when I was in college. I underwent accurate treatment at 23 right when Accutane was approved by the FDA. I took the treatment for 3 months and the side effects were very dry lips, sometimes splitting. It totally eliminated my acne and my self confidence, social life, and career soared. I tried everything before this treatment and nothing worked and was extremely happy with the results.

At about age 35, my acne cysts reappeared, although not as severe. I underwent another 90 day treatment and haven't had any reoccurrence since."


"The Generic drug is not working so well this time. I took INDOCIN 4 years ago and the gout went away in less than 4 days. I've learned that not wearing properly fitted shoes with arch and foot support can cause bunions leading to gout. Yes, Uric Acid is the root to gout but not wearing proper shoes can make gout worse and flair up. Drink tons of water as this reduced the swelling by 80% alone in 2 days W/O MEDS! I'm on the fence b/c I wake up and it's gone down a lot. 5 hours or so later, it's swelling up again despite eating little sugar, drinking lots or water, and not putting too much pressure on the foot. Maybe the GENERIC or this version is NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS THE MAIN BRAND - INDOCIN. Does any one care to share their thoughts?"


"I know many women taking this had good results but it made me very sick to my stomach even when I cut it in half and took at night."


"Inserted the ovule last night around 11:30 pm. My first comment is%u2026why did no one else on here think it was kind of hard to put in?  BUT anyway, inserted last night, felt some itching the first few minutes that quickly went away, woke up this morning at 9:25 am and my only symptom is some very mild burning. It's too early to say if it cleared up and I'm very sensitive so I assumed I'd get some mild irritation, but so far so good. I'm glad I did this before reading the reviews because I would've psyched myself out."


"hi everyone, im a 18 year old  athlete. I play defense and offense line on my schools football team... iIam 6'8 roughly 400 pounds... I had a ankle surgery and have lost all motivation. and my muscle has now flabbed and I'm a big mess... I've hearded many great reviews on this product. I'm hoping my family doctor will prescribe it to me because I can not exercise with this intense ankle joint paint... my goal is 300lbs... thank you all and god bless

ps. I'll update in excatley 1 month"


"this is my first yeast infection and so I bought the monistat 1day ovule..it was very uncomfortable to put in and it felt like a marble was sitting up there..no more itching or burning than what was already going on but because it was so uncomfortable I wasn't sure that I put the ovule up far enough because about 2 hrs later the ovule seems to dissolve and come out...definitely will just deal with the 7 day gel one next time and will probably end up going to the doctor anyways."


"Been taking the pill for at least 10 years and was wonderful. However for the past year, I have noticed that even though I am taking it, my period is starting to come every 21-30 no matter what. I do not miss because I do not want the cycles at all and my menstrual periods were heavy, clotty and painful. I don't understand why it is doing this. I will stop the pill for about two or three months to see what happens. I feel that if I am taking the pill and still having my periods, what is the point. I will see. I will make an appt with my OBGYN and see what she says. Wow!"


"Had my colonoscopy today after putting it off for a couple of months because of the prep.  This was my fifth colonoscopy and Suprep was by far the easiest for me.  I was very skeptical, especially after reading some of the reviews on this site. But there were also some very good suggestions for getting it down, as well.  I started the prep last night at 6:30.  I kept the Suprep in the fridge and mixed it with 8 oz of 7-up and cold water.  Also divided it into four 4 oz cups and drank it through a straw.  Keep lemon wedges nearby to suck on after each cup.  Got it all down within 5 minutes.  It started working within a half hour and I was pretty much done by 8:30.  I never had nausea, vomiting or cramping.  This morning I repeated the above."


"I am a 19 year old male! I have been taking 100 milligrams of this stuff for 2 months now I don't feel a dam thing! I get dizzy n really crabby and mean! Just wana find the right meds for me! It is rapidly destroying my life at work , lovers n friend! This med worked for me but for only a short time!"


"One of the best meds for bipolar. Low frequency of EPS and no prolactin elevation, however I have gained approx. 10-12 lbs in one year, but that's a small pay for mental stability. Recommend monitoring blood glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol."


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


"PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO DRINK TONS OF WATER WITH THIS VITAMIN OR ELSE. Biotin will give you acne. It will cause severe headaches. It will make you nauseous, and you will complain it doesn't work and give up. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GET RESULTS.

In reality your doing it wrong if your not getting enough water! It has worked wonders for me. I have lost hair due to medications and stress. I started noticing results in two weeks (eyelashes). Two months (scalp). And you will get hair growth everywhere. My hair has never looked more healthier."


"Ziana is a great product. I have used it for 4 yrs. After years of suffering with adult acne and trying various dermatologists and products nothing helped! A friend referred me to her dermatologist. I was prescribed Ziana and OTC cleanser Cerave. Due to the cost I almost didn't buy it. The pharmacist gave me a pep talk and I purchased it. Oh, I am glad I did! I returned to the dermatologist for a 6 week follow up. I was overjoyed with the results my face had completely cleared. The only  thing we didn't do was to take pictures before. I had no redness or worsen breakouts. I still use it for maintenance. A life changer and I highly recommend it to you. Insurance didn't cover all of the cost but it was worth it. I thanked my pharmacist too."


"I hope your pain is managed as best as it can be!
I'm in the UK and and am prescribed both OxyContin (sustained release) and Oxynorm which is a fast acting version of oxycodone. I have degenerative disc disease in my lumbar spine and am listed for surgery in early October 2012. This medicine takes the edge of my pain.  "


"I switched to yaz from alesse because I heard it was better for acne. It did wonders for my skin and only having a 4 day period was nice too. However, I did notice that I was more emotional and had crazy mood swings, I found myself crying for no reason (not very good for my relationship either). I didn't gain any weight, and had no other side effects. I only switched back to alesse because my doctor expressed a concern about the blood clots possible with this birth control, otherwise I wouldn't have switched. Goodluck!!"


"I had high hopes for this birth control, reading all the effects of hormonal birth control has me afraid to try anything else. Insertion was quick but very painful, worst pain I have ever felt in my life. So make sure you take some Motrin at least 1hr beforehand. Adjusting period wasn't bad, spotting here and there for about 2 weeks. Some of the cons are heavier period with more cramps, but I've always had a 7 day  and painful periods so I did not notice a change.  Worked great I had no side effects for almost a year. Then I got pregnant with the IUD in the correct position. Luckily it was not ectopic. Still it had 1 job and failed."


"It would be nice if there were a once daily extended release capsule. 3 times daily is hard.  Don't forget either."


"I had unprotected sex two days after my period ended. I took the plan b within 12 hours. Two days later I started bleeding lightly and it lasted 3-4 days. I didn't think this was a normal period so I still expected to get mine at the normal time. I didn't come. I freaked out. I was one week late and decided to take a pregnancy test. Negative! That same night I started my period. Maybe the light bleeding was the plan b working and it reset my cycle because 28 days after that I got my period. I'm now on birth control. No kiddos for me thank you very much. Thanks plan b!!"


"I was on a 40 mg dosage for about 6 months. All my attacks went away. I stopped taking it for  months and they came back. I have been put back on 40 mg again. I have been on this for 12 days now."


"If you are prone to acne, get ready to have the worst acne ever. My bf convinced  me to take it in case after he didn't pull out in time. I was 2 days after ovulation. The likelihood of getting pregnant were slim. Really wish I went with my gut to not take this pill. My skin and my self esteem are a mess."


Ethinyl estradiol / folic acid / levonorgestrel

"After about 3 weeks of being on this I had the worst break out I've ever experienced in my life and I had very mild acne prior to taking this. Maybe one big one in the T-zone before my period but this caused me to break out all over my face and back. I'm talking under the skin big red pimples all over! I was literally mortified, I looked like a monster. It also caused my bra size to increase from a B cup to a full D, I also gained 20 pounds, I went from 115 to 135 but it all went to my boobs and my booty lol so I was happy about that but the fact that it made me break out really made hate this birth control. Also, my breasts decreased back to a B cup after 3 months booooo!!"


"It gave me my life back. I would have panic attacks that lasted for hours, always anxious, work was crippling. After one year no side effects. Now I feel normal, confident - it's something I've waited on for 26 years!"


"This generic works very well for me. I switched to the generic because my insurance carrier recommended me to do so.  I feel much better and I didn't even know I was depressed. Only thing is I have no energy."


"Night and day positive effect"


"I lost my appetite and yet gained between 7 to 10 pounds a week until my psychiatrist took me off of it 5 weeks later, stuck with the weight. Not only did it not improve my mood, my image depressed me even more."


"I started taking bupropion XL 150mg a day I took that for a month, the first 3 weeks I felt kind of cloudy/lost, had a little bit of anxiety and had some pretty bad ups and downs with my depression but by the end of the month I felt a lot better and didn't even feel like I was on a medication at all. I just started my second month and was upped to a 300mg dose. I'm on my 5th day and so far have had really bad anxiety attacks feeling like I'm losing control/ stuck in my own head most of the time and sleeping a lot. I'm hoping I can stick it out like with the 150 and start feeling normal again. I almost quit in the first 3 weeks of 150 but I stuck it out after reading positive reviews and it got better. I'm hoping that happens with the 300mg."


"I take Hydeoxzine HCLfor anxiety. I have to take a higher dose for it to work (100mg 3x a day). I have severe anxiety to the point it makes me vomit and I end up having a panic attack. I can't take a benzo as I have a addictive personality. The Hydroxyzine does work for me somewhat in the sense that it makes me kinda numb. I get super calm and relaxed. If your psychiatrist/doctor suggest that you take it for anxiety or something like that make sure you get the Hydroxyzine HCL brand and not the Hydroxyzine Pamoate. There is a big difference or that's what my doctor told me anyways. The HCL brand is more for anxiety and the Pamoate brand is more for allergies and things like that."


"Started taking phentermine 37.5 on 7/24/2014 @ 282lbs.  One week later on 7/31/2014 down 10 lbs to 272. I am eating 2000 calories per day and exercising daily 3 days cardio, 3 days strength.   Pros: helps control my appetite, no late night snacking.  Cons: dry mouth."


"I have been on Generess for a little over a year now. I do remember my symptoms being kind of all over the place. Lasted for a good 6 months. My period was on schedule for a good 8 months with a light flow. Now its barely anything. I do have sex regularly and I hate that I'm still nervous every month because I don't see blood, but no pregnancies have occurred. I'm wondering if I should switch, but reading other experiences, its kind of made me feel a little better."


"Good drug not many side effects was the only one that worked for me and I reckon I've tried every antidepressant on the market. Took 60mg for 2 years didn't find it to hard to come off was a bit grumpy for a couple weeks thats it. Also helped with my neck and nerve pain."


"I had Skyla inserted on day 3 of my period and my doc prescribed misoprostol for the evening before/morning of. I declined the xanax she offered bc I had work that day, but I will definitely plan to make arrangements for it when I have the IUD replaced because the procedure was absolutely excruciating. It may be because I've never been pregnant or bc I was already on my period, but it took all of the self control I had to not beg her to stop halfway through. I was sweating and unable to move for a while, and the pain slowly went away as the day went on. I was sore during sex the day after, and I've had light bleeding/spotting (usually panty liner, sometimes tampon) on and off since. It's been 2 weeks, and I've felt very hormonal."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I took my fist dose at 7:30 tonight by 8pm it was working it is now 9 pm and I can go to bed that simple no side effects nothing and the taste wasn't bad at all"


"I've been taking lo loestrin fe for about two years now. I haven't had any horror stories with it, but I am switching. For the positive side, I never get my period and I haven't gained/lost weight. On the negative side, I constantly have unbearable headaches and I have absolutely no sex drive."


"Began Complera May 2013 after having been on Atripla. Positive since 1992. Both medicines have kept my viral load undetectable and T-cells above 700. Both have their side effects; but for now I'm sticking with Complera. I take Complera after dinner; hours before sleep (to help as much with insomnia. Doctor has prescribed Ambien). The side effects of Complera I hope work themselves out overnight. As for gas and bloating I have a glass of Metamucil every morning. And each day I live with a positive attitude, or as normal as possible!"


"Type 2 for 20 years, Levemir used for 15 of the past years with increasing dosaging and could not get "even" spread with Levemir's 24hr protocol; Dr changed me to Humulin N, a 12 hr protocol with better effects throughout a 24hr period.  Negative; caused me to gain 8 pounds within 2 weeks.  I am very active and trim 64yr old and I don't like this effect."


"Mirena removed after 5 yrs (it was painful during sex) the same day (4/10/15) Nexplanon was implanted. Every thing was awesome until my first period the end of October. It was very heavy (never had cramps in my life) stopped after 2 weeks, then started again the end of November and stopped after 2 weeks. I then was period free up until the end of January. I had a heavy period for a week and then stopped on 2/3/16. Then started all over again on 2/6/16, it finally stopped 3/14/16. And AGAIN on the 18th of this month! I take adderall for ADD and always chalked up my moodiness to me coming down off of that med at the end of my day. I LOVE sex, now I could care less about it. Masturbation gets old after a while. JS Removing it tonight!"


"Works great for pain after knee surgery.  Had a little constipation and upset stomach,  but nothing too severe."


"Just started taking about 1 week ago for severe pain due to a having a bi-lateral masectomy (both breast removed) for breast cancer in 2006, with chemotherapy followed with reconstructive surgery. Couldn't sleep due to pain took hydrocodone daily which upset my stomach and I became dependant on it every night and morning due to severe pain.  My life has changed for the better since I started taking Lyrica.  Now able to move with very little pain and my son is so happy to have his mommy back."


"I had my doubts about this product based of the negative reviews about it comparing its effectiveness to its cost. I started getting a cold sore yesterday morning and a bump started forming by the time I got off work. I went to buy Abreva and I had used it a total of four times sincerely last night and right now (less than 24 hours). I'll admit that the bump did get bigger overnight reaching its full size (which normally takes me about thee days) and just about half an hour ago, the cold sore finally popped after this fourth application. Cold sores for me usually pop by day five. True to its advertising, it has extremely reduced my healing time. I think people are expecting too much now that I have had my own experience with Abreva."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Taking Stribild as a post exposure prophylactic. On day 3 of a 28 day clinical trial. At this time the efficacy is unknown. Side effects are mild headache, bloating and flatulence. Nothing that would cause me to discontinue treatment."


" This hideous medicine. I took it for a few days and not much help then the weird santanic dreams started with not being able to jump outta bed or move.  The  bedroom was nice and quiet and as soon as I'd started to fall asleep it would sound like people were on my roof throwing pieces of metal on the ground.  The most horrible hallucinations... throw this stuff away"


"Since being put on jolessa by my gyno about a year ago I have experienced mood swings, increased appetite, excessive weight gain, and most of all, extreme fatigue. No matter how much sleep or rest I get I am ALWAYS tired. I actually only feel well rested and energized when I'm on my period (which makes no sense!) Needless to say I won't be using this birth control much longer. The only good thing that has came out of my experience with jolessa is lighter periods. My horrible cramping is still the same though. Heavy periods and horrible cramping is the reason my gyno put me on this birth control! VERY disappointed."


"I was given this pill as a second option because I felt the other pill I was taking was causing me to gain weight. I notice that with this pill I was not happy. Not with the pill, but my personality drastically changed. I was moody, irritable, emotional and down right a pain to be around. I have stopped taking it a week ago, just to see if my mood would improve, and it has. I would say stay away from this pill if you are under stress, as it will add to that negative side of your life."


"I was first given Compazine in the hospital for severe nausea associated with a migraine. I suffer from migraines, generalize anxiety, and panic attacks  but I was admitted to the hospital  due to the worst panic attack I've ever had. They were giving me Valium, but cautiously. When the nurse gave me Compazine for the first time, my nausea and anxiety left at the same time, and quickly too. I was able to finally rest/sleep comfortably. Even though it is prescribed for nausea, I would recommend asking your Doctor about Compazine for anxiety. It will make you sleepy, but like I said, the feeling of be comfortable in my own skin for a change is worth it."


"I have been on Xolair since June 2009, and I can somewhat tell a difference. I don't use my rescue inhaler as much as I used to, and I don't get bronchitis as much. My maintenance medicines have not changed at all over the last few years. Still on the same doses and medicines. I have been using A LOT more of Prednisone though."


"Simply amazing! I was on Concerta from the age of 11-17 it worked, but didnt really appreciate its qualities being a young lad...I came off it. Since then life has gone dramatically down hill and I have had issues with keeping a job, focusing, social acceptance....the works! I had no commitment to anything and no drive to establish myself in the world. Im now 24 and have been back on them for 9 months. Since then I have been 100 milliom times more productive. Secured an amazing job (and held it down) even won a few employee of the month awards! Ive also gained a new amazing social circle and my relationships generally have never been better. Small side effects i.e sleep issues. But will never stop taking unless forced."


"I've used this birth control for 8 years. I was a late bloomer, and didn't have my first period until well into age 16, I'm told because I'm small and athletically inclined. I never had cramps or mood swings - but my periods were extremely irregular and would arrive unexpectedly to ruin my favorite pairs of underwear. My doctor selected this initially due to cost, as I was not sexually active and just wanted regulation. Now at age 24, I'm happy to report it's effectiveness at preventing pregnancy, as well as a complete lack of any side effects. No acne, no weight gain, no mood swings, no spotting, no cup size enhancements (unfortunately) and a nice 4-5 day window that I know exactly when and how much I'm going to bleed."


"Very effective, helps daily motivation in terms of getting going without that shocking, nagging pain. Its depressing but helps the body function where without the medication its demotivating and furthers the negative aspect of ones well-being and self worth toward a productive life and social feeling of being needed. The medication simply assists me to function where without I am no longer an asset to anything up to this point in my life, including my own self esteem."


"But too expensive. I'm 27 years old with no insurance and I'm paying close to $1000 a month."


"I have had eczema since childhood which I have treated with emollients, and topical steroids, but I had a severe breakout where my entire body was covered, I wasn't sleeping, I couldn't hug my children, I couldn't have clothing that touched my skin. I went to the doctors and she prescribed a short dose (5days) within 12 hours of taking the first tablet I wasn't itchy withjn 36 hours my skin looked normal again and after 5 days it was silky soft to the touch, I had not a single bit of eczema for three months after taking the short course, Unfortunately my normal level eczema is back but I can manage it with creams, if it gets really bad again I'll be heading back to the doctors and asking for this!"


"I took cephalexin 500 for ten days following a 5 day stay at my local hospital  (with IV antibiotics) for a bladder infection. It did nothing for my infection. But I did get a few nasty side effects.  Diarrhea, nightmares, and muscle pain. This medication did not work for me."


"After never having even a urine infection in my whole 35 years, after having a baby I got 4 uti's in 7 months. Keflex for the first. That worked well. Macrobid for the others. It does make me a little drowsy and have mild sort of "hallucinations" but it does work for me quite well. After the 2nd dose, all of my symptoms are gone. For me, the benefit outweighs the side effects."


"a MIRACLE cure it is ... 20 Yrs   of alcohol dependency. In the last 10 Yrs a bottle of wine EVERY night 7 days a week, sometimes closer to 2 bottles.
Day 1 of Naltrexone (25mg), mild side effects, tried my wine, had 1/2 glass, tasted great as always, just no desire to drink it.
Day 2 25mg - less side effects, 1/2 glass of wine with no interest in more.
EARLY days, but it's as if a switch has been turned to the OFF position in my head. It's nothing to do with will power, I'm not TRYING not to drink, but my brain appears to be just not telling me TO drink !!! For those that understand the science behind this medication, this will make sense."


"Prescibed clomiphene 25mg for infertilty/hypogonadism.  After taking it for 10 days I've begun to experience tingling and numbness in my feet and hands.  I will be discontinuing it presently.  Which is unfortunate becuase it has had a positive impact on mood and energy."


"I took 1 pill at 10pm. It is 3am and I am awake with a BURNING sensation in my stomach. This is not the first time that this has happened. In about 3 more hours or so I will have a great bowel movement but for now I am miserable :-("


"I started taking Lasix 6/23. After 1 night I can tell a difference in the fluid around my left kidney and liver. The pressure is less. Thank you Lasix."


"Years ago I was on the older formula of Fentanyl and it worked wonders with minimal dosage & breakthrough meds. After the companies reformulated the drug it isn't nearly as good as it used to be &has many more side effects, brand depending. Mylan works best for me as far as fewer side effects but none work for the 72 hours they are supposed to. Originally, my max dose was 75mcg for 1.5 years prior to surgery. This time I am up to 125mcg w/in the first year + 10/325 Norco 4x daily +muscle relaxers for auto fusion of L3-S1. Pain level on day 1 is @7, day 2 is @4, day 3 is @8. I have to put my new patches on before taking the old off or life is hell. Thanks to drug addicts, illegal activity & government interference Doc can no longer help."


"I have been on Victoza since 11/19/10 after trying unsuccessfully to take both Metformin and the extended release version; and Glipzide. The side effects for these were terrible headaches, gastric upset. i.e. nausea and diarrhea. So far, Victoza is working really well. I am still on 0.6 mg. once a day and my fasting blood sugars are down from 165 to 185 to between 95 to 120. At my next appointment we will be talking about increasing the dosage and best of all, I have lost 14 pounds and I feel so much better then I did."


"Ache on the entire body.  Painful
Constipation, cataracts, low blood pressure. Very weak and painful arthritis . More depressed and no enthusiasms at all but sleeping.
Doctor has stopped this drug for me now 3 months ago. Only continue with arthritis and cataracts."


"Terrible fatigue and dizziness. Stomach cramps"


"I'm writing this to calm the nerves of the constant Internet searches during this uncertainty period between taking plan B and waiting for your period. I had sex a day before my ovulation day, the condom broke and we didn't realize till he finished. I started freaking out since I knew that plan B worked by delaying ovulation, though my calendar said I would ovulate the next day it wasn't 100% certain that I was already ovulating or finished ovulating. I took plan B an hour after intercourse and asked the pharmacists if it would work during ovulation and the pharmacist told me that it is recommended at any time of the cycle. I experienced headache, bloating, nausea, breast tenderness/swelling and pre ovulation discharge till I got my period!"


"I was almost bald from front and middle of the head. My hairs were so thin and very very weak. I had my wedding after 5 months, so I was so worried. I started using minoxidil,  Finax tablets after consulting a dermatologist. After 3-4 weeks my hair started to fall more quickly as told by doc. After using 3 months (liquid 2 times a day, tab 1 time) my head was full of hair except the very front area. It was so dense as it used to be in my school days. As the session ended again I visited the doc. He suggested to use a mild shampoo named "Seren" and to continue in the same ways for next 3 months. After 6 months it was so thick that my friends who met me after months told that hey buddy are you wearing a wig."


"I started phentermine on 4/21/2016. My 1st weigh in was 333.8. I weighed myself today I am currently 322.6, still have a long way to go but I am well on my way. 11 lbs in 4 days!!"


"I am in my seventies and my doctor asked me to try and wean myself off of Ambien by using this new drug called Belsomra. Last night using the drug for the first time I had the one of the worst nights of my life. I had horrific and frightening nightmares where I felt like I was awake but I couldn't get up and I never felt like I went into a deep sleep.  All day long today I have felt like I'm in a fog and my equilibrium is off. I will never use this drug again it is a nightmare in itself."


"Buspirone really seemed to help me control my anxiety. I never had any side effects. I took 7.5 mg twice daily for the first few months, and have taken 15 mg twice daily for the last few months."


"I used the Monistat 3 day suppository, NOT the cream, and it worked as intended leaving me relieved from my YI & its symptoms.

Right after I used it I laid back and read these reviews...omg I braced for impact, but nothing bad happened!

Bottom line: don't use the cream insert.

Kudos to every ladies' review for making me lol at yeast infections."


"I have had acne since I was 15. I am now 24 and still have what I consider to be moderate acne. A few deep painful ones, whiteheads, blackheads, and little clogged pores. I have been taking this for a little over a week. The redness is decreasing and my skin is feeling smoother. Still have a few painful pimples, but they seem to be healing. I can tell it's getting better. I am on 100 mg once a day, but I think I will up my dosage. I have had NO side effects...I was worried I would based on what I read. It's possible they will creep up later, but so far, nothing! I am pleased as of now."


"I had extremely painful periods and constant bleeding. My doctor started me on the shot in Jan. and had second one in March. Best thing I ever did. No bleeding after 1st month and no pain after the 2nd month. Side effects were in my opinion mild. Worst were the hot flashes but in my opinion worth it. Doctor only wanted me to have to 2 shots so after June going to see what happens. I don't want to get on any birth control so will see what happens. I'm really hoping this makes it all better."


"I've had 5 surgeries on lower back which causes nerve damage and pain and been this way since my first surgery in 1992 or 93 lose count, My Dr. suggested Gabapentin 300 mg 3 times a day, now I'm not steady on my feet, when walking I have to hold on to things because fear of falling. Can't function at the work place. I have to be alert at all times, I have a lot of drowsiness and dizziness and this medicine puts me to sleep at all hours, but on a high note I'm drinking a lot of water which is a good thing due to cotton mouth. I don't think this is for me."


"I've been on this medication for a few years now. overtime, I have noticed huge improvements in my severe social anxiety. it is much easier to get through the day!

As far as side effects, I experienced loss in appetite and fatigue for about a week, then it all went away.

Please don't let negative reviews scare you and give the meds a chance to do their job, it doesn't happen overnight!"


"When I first started taking this pill, I had irregular periods and some slight mood swings for the first couple months. Now I have regular periods that are very light, and last about two days. No cramps or nausea and I haven't noticed a weight change. The cons for me are: lack of sex drive and tender breasts."


"Zantac really helped my 7 year old out with his acid reflux. He has been vomiting for nearly 2 years. More at night than during the day.  He now has been on Zantac for 2 months now and he has no problem with acid reflux."


"Works great! Better than the over the counter stuff! Compare to Azo and uristat."


"I have been on 10 mg of brand ambien for 12 years.  It works, but only the BRAND name - none of the generics worked. My insurance would not cover brand ambien and I was stuck paying $435 a month!  I tried many medications, including several benzos, Serequel (halluncinated on that one!), etc. My osteopath had samples of Belsomra and suggested I give it a try.  At first I wasn't quite convinced it was working.  I gave it a good week.  I can tell you know I LOVE this medication!  It definitely mimics a more natural sleep cycle.  I do have some weird dreams, but that usually right before waking after 8 hours of sleep.  I would highly encourage trying this but give it a full week.  It stops the alerted mind and stress thinking."


"Took 30 mg/day for 2 months and no noticeable reduction of pain. Increased to 60 mg/day for 2 more months and still no relief of fibromyalgia at all. Killed my libido entirely and had difficulty sleeping regardless of taking it morning or night. Luckily no side effects weaning off (half dose for 2 weeks, then every other day for 2 more weeks)."


"I only experienced some slight nausea and abdominal pain that was worse when taking the medicine on an empty stomach."


"After an injury with a chainsaw. I was put on morphine. It made me feel "thick" & groggy. It also didn't cut the pain. I asked my Dr. To put me on oxycodone & Oxycontin. I found this to be better at reducing pain without the brain fog."


"I have struggled with acne on and off since high school, it was never terrible but bad enough for me to see a dermatologist. After years of antibiotics, face creams, expensive cleaners, acid peels etc., I have finally found the solution for my hormonal related acne with spiro. The important thing with spiro, as I had read in other reviews is patience and getting the right dosage. I expected the initial break out as many other reviewers mention, trust me it happens, but my skin is now clearer than it has been in years. My dermatologist started me on the 50mg dosage, but after three months I was still having mild breakouts with fluctuations in hormones so my dosage was upped to 100mg a day, which worked almost immediately! This is great!"


"I'm 19 years old and started taking 50mg Vyvanse today, being diagnosed with ADD. So far today, i haven't any problems focusing and actually WANT to get my work done. It did take around 2 hours to start working, but there were no jitters. I never thought ADHD or ADD was a problem of mine, but it does run in my family."


"Anti-depressants never seem to lift my mood and without Depakote make me manic."


"I have been on klonopin for 10 years. Nobody told me what this stuff does to you. 21 days into a cold turkey withdrawal and I wasn't here. I was trapped in my own body like I was paralyzed. You cannot use one benzo to come off the other. They have a new IV drug you can use. It will detox you in a week. And you are supposed to be fine plus its a benzo blocker also.  So please don't trade one for the other if you are on xanax or anything like them please please just ween off them. Quickly!!!!! I'm personally going to detox in the next couple of days. I'll leave another review then."


"I've been on it for a year and have spotted every single day for a year now. I have friends who have it and they love it and don't bleed at all, I think it just effects everyone differently. I though it was worth the chance and I wish I  never got it. I wouldn't take the chance because it's miserable. The amount of money I've had to spend in feminine products this year is insane."


"Diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety, found symptoms lessened with Wellbutrin XR. Year later diagnosed with adult ADHD, all ADD with little HD. Started Strattera and felt a slight improvement in focus, but also felt distant and flat. Stopped Strattera due to severe constipation. Tried Adderall, little effect on focus and concentration, and turned into a Chatty Cathy. I did sleep better than ever though. Next, Ritalin with close to the same effects, but without the great sleep. Back to Strattera to give it another shot, constipation lessened, but still feel that it is not helping with the ADD. Considered adding Adderall or Ritalin in with, but Doctor now recommending psych evaluation to look deeper. Scary, but necessary."


"We started my 5 yr old on this, the 1 worked for him for a few weeks, then we noted an increase in aggression and hyperactivity. They upped him to 2 mg and now he has not slept in days no more than 4 hours a night and then he wakes and starts kicking the door to his room and screams at the top of his lungs until we get him up, he has trashed his bedroom and said he noticed curtains moving when there are no movement. He is loud and violent and swearing, I called the DR right away after the first night of him saying his curtain rod was moving, so they said take it at night instead, but then waking up for a week at 3 am has been a nightmare. We are so stressed and over whelmed with this behavior he is out of control."


"I started taking Yaz 2 months ago and for the first 5 weeks I hated it. My skin was worse then ever and I was about to stop. It's been close to 8 weeks now and my skin feels amazing! I have no bumps left on my face, maybe a few scars but they are slowly fading! I use Phisophex with Yaz and so far it's amazing. Keep going with Yaz and don't get freaked out in the first few weeks.  I didn't gain any weight and no other side effects. I'm all for Yaz."


"Ineffective with my advanced disease.  Tried it because I've run out of options."


"so i took this sat. had to wait 5 days fpr second dose. during the 5 days symptoms were mild. irritated more when i peed and wiped.  today is 5th day i took the 2nd pill this morn.. all symptoms cleared.. "


"I took Aleve PM for chronic knee pain which causes me to wake up repeatedly throughout the night.  I only took it ONE NIGHT, and, boy, that was enough!  Although I slept well and was not bothered by knee pain during the night, now, approximately 12 hours later, my stomach is absolutely killing me!  My stomach hurts so badly that I feel as if I may vomit.  I also feel dizzy and slightly disoriented.  I am throwing the remainder of the bottle, which cost around $8.00, away when I get home.  Who knew there would be such hell to pay for a good night's sleep?  Never again.  I would rather sleep poorly than feel like vomiting which I am trying to work."


"My blood sugar was extremely high (403) and metformin 500mg was prescribed for a 30 day period, to aid getting the blood sugar levels lowered. Within a 24 hour period and after taking 1000mgs, my blood sugar readings was down by 89 points to 314. I've just started on this road, but so far it has been helpful. The side effects for me have been minimal. Severe diarrhea, light headaches."


"Hi I'm 51 F hepC type2 I just started taking the epclusa I'm 8 days in. I was expecting to be sick from it but, NO!! First day I felt less fatigue. Less pain. Not having any bad side affects, a little more gas and I feel a little irritated & not to be gross but noticed my stool looked dark green.  I'm very pleased with the lack of side effects and hope it continues to be the same through treatment and of course that it's working and rids my body of this horrible virus. I pray for all of us every night that we get cured. I'll update when I do my blood work on week 4 . God bless everyone"


"No lessening of pain in legs."


"Sleep, anxiety disorder or panic attacks, Ativan is very tolerable and very little side effects compared to Xanax and Klonapin (moody effects)."


"med helped control blood sugars a little but with awful side effects.  Was taking 100mg never increased to the reco300mg couldn't do it as I felt so aweful on the 100mg.  Side effects were extreme tiredness and thirst, nauseous, increase in HDL and triglycerides, after a few months started loosing my hair probably lost 50% volume and getting terrible leg cramps in calves at night would wake me up several times each and every night, severe stabbing pains mid/lower back and the brain fog was terrible.  Quit drug!!  Spoke to pharmacist he had multiple people coming in saying "get me off this drug it's killing me"- which is how I felt!  Drug company paid for the drug even though my insurance would have paid for it-pharmacist thought this was odd."


"Those injections for my headaches that the doctor gave me are amazing! I wake up with my headache a lot so I can't even stop them before they start, and like this morning, they're usually paired with nausea and I end up throwing up.

This injection is awesome though! Quick relief without having to make a trip to the ER. I usually get Toradol shots at the hospital that make the headache disappear within twenty minutes of so. The initial injection of the Sumavel hurt a little and caught me off guard, but it felt like a bee sting, it just hurt for a second and then it was over. It bled a little bit, and about a minute after, my head started to feel heavy and I felt a little dizzy. I went to sleep, woke up and feel better. "


"I first started with ro accutane to get my acne away and then went onto dianette but that gave me a blood clot. I was on Yasmin for 2 years and my skin wasn't perfect as I had scars but it was a hell of a lot better. Recently I had an a miscarriage so obviously wasn't taking my pill for a while, and now I'm back taking Yasmin (it's been a week) my chin is absolutely sick looks like a pizza! But I know it gets better so just hold on in there guys "


"I went on the medicine at age 65 due to extreme dryness and constant yeast infections. The fantastic side effect is now I fall to sleep within one hour of going to bed. For six years, ever since menopause, I have had trouble falling asleep (averaging only 4 hrs of rest). The only change in my life was the Premarin pill.  It helped the dryness and now I can function with 8 hours of sleep!"


"Love this treatment! I had immediate relief and no side effects. Shots were painless. It's been 3 years since my last series of Orthovisc. I'm back to exercising with no knee pain."


"I've only been on 50mg Zoloft for about a week and I feel like I'm in a way better mood at times and haven't felt as depressed as I was before taking it. However I've lost a lot of sleep because of it, lost my appetite, getting confused at times, and absolutely no libido even if I tried. At times I feel like a complete zombie and it gets difficult trying to work because I feel so numb. I also feel a lot slower mentally but that may be because of lack of sleep.Before zoloft  I was having a suicidal thought every other day and cutting myself almost everyday and now of zoloft I am NOT thinking of hurting myself and 1 suicidal thought in a week. I've been a lot happier on this medication."


"I have been using this medication with Apo-doxy for 2 weeks now, the first 4 days I had no new break outs but now it's starting to get worse, that's what the doctor said so I am still going to use it, for people that have burning red skin please get some neutrogena dry skin moisturizer it is the best thing for your face, use it in the morning for a few days and it will reduce the redness and dry skin, it also stops the burning when you apply the tactupump, anyways I hope this medications works for me I am really embarrassed about my acne"


"I had a vaginal infection, and was prescribed Flagyl to cure it.  I hated the immediate awful taste in the mouth, and it dissolved immediately upon hitting my tongue.  I only experienced the awful taste and some slight stomach upset as side effects.  The infection began to clear up after 3 days of a 7 day prescription.  I recommend it, and drink something fruity with it.  Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL while on this medication, OR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER YOU STOP TAKING IT.  You WILL have severe vomiting, heaving and dizziness."


"I've been using Vagistat-3 & I'm on the second day. The first day I used it the discharge was coming down a lot and the second day it wasn't really any. It's not that itchy anymore, but it's really sore from me itching before I knew what it was. I hope the itching can go away because this is the worst feeling ever."


"20mg and WOW........better stamina than ever before. Incredible. The only side effects were slight headache and flushed face, pounding on door and walls from hotel patrons next door who couldn't sleep from all the screeching and thrashing. Awesome."


"I found Xenical to work very well. True it did have side effects, but that was a good motivator to make healthier food choices. When I was food wise, I didn't have any problems. I lost 10 pounds in 1.5 months walking 10,000 steps per day and eating healthy.

I did get the headaches associated with the side effects, but they weren't as bad as my normal sinusitis headaches, so it was do-able.

I would recommend this to anyone in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. Exercise is a must, because this does not speed your metabolism up.

Have faith, stay strong and you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to."


"I have had Implanon since early May 2010 so about 7 months now.  I think that Implanon was definitely the right choice for me but it's different with everyone and anyone reading these comments should keep that in mind.  I was previously on the Depo shot for 2 years and have the same side effects on Implanon that I did with the shot.  I haven't gotten my period since it's been in, not even a little bleeding.  I have gained about 5-10 pounds but I am not a very active person.  I love not having to worry about getting pregnant or using a condom.  The only problem I have had is the extreme bruising and pain when I got it put in and it took a little over a week to heal all the way but I have a very minimal scar now."


"I was a very healthy 52 year old female until my first Urticaria attack in June of 2013.  I was taken to the emergency room and treated with IV Benadryl.   I was back in ER with the same symptoms 24 hours later.  Like many of the posts I read here I went through prednisone, cyclosporine, lotions, potions, etc and about 5 prescription anti-histamines a day from June of 2013 to October 2013 trying to get relief.  Nothing worked and I was miserable - not to mention drugged .  I found a very good doctor who introduced Xolaire to me.  I received my first Xolaire injection in October 2013 (prior to FDA approval for CIU) and am still on it Feb 2017.  It's a miracle drug."


"This medicine should not be stored where it receives direct sunlight, changing temperatures, or humidity changes (i.e. bathrooms). I learned this the hard way recently. My prescription sat on my bedside table in front of a window with morning sun exposure and when I took a dose recently I felt lethargic, incoherent, and outside of my body. My husband told me I fought in my sleep and cried out for my children, I tossed and turned for several hours but he couldn't wake me up. I was not told how to store this medicine and I didn't think I was doing anything wrong."


"I am 39 year old suffering from anxiety and panic disorders for 8 years. I started taking escitalopram 10 mg three weeks ago along with bromazepam 1.5 mg three times a day; it has started working since day 15 and I have started gaining confidence back with no panic attack in three weeks. My doctor has asked me to increase escitalopram to 20 mg and then stop bromazepam gradually. "


"I'm 5'5" and I started taking this pill on 05/24 weighing at 189lbs today is 05/29 and I weigh 182lbs. My goal was to lose 5 pounds a week, but I feel like I may lose more. I get jittery in the mornings after I take it and a little nauseous, but it goes away. I don't exercise. I eat once in the morning and then I have no appetite throughout the day. It does keep me up at night if I don't take it earlier than 10am. And I definitely get the dry mouth which makes me crave water. I haven't started exercising yet, hopefully I lose more then."


"I had my Implanon inserted in December 2011 after three years on the NuvaRing. At first I considered having it taken out again because I was experiencing non stop bleeding. But I stuck it out and by the third month everything was back to normal and I haven't had a period since. I super enjoy that. My sex drive was normal and it was a relief not to make constant trips to the doc for condoms anymore specially since I've been with the same partner for over 5 years. The insertion was very easy and fast with minimal scaring. My insurance covered both the device and the visit to have it inserted. So far I will never go back to any other birth control. As soon as I have mine taken out in December of 2014 a new one will go in at the same visit."


"I have been taking 50mg decanoate every 28 days, and 10mg/day oral for schizo-effective. This has been the most effective medicine I have ever used! (I have tried all the atypicals with no luck except olanzapine and lurasidone) I have been taking it for over 10 years now. Absolutely no side effects for me, not even weight gain. When I get the shot I usually take a nap in afternoon because it makes me sleepy. If I don't take haldol, I normally get very religious (but twisted type of religious) and tortured with psychosis and generally feel awful with bags under my eyes, acting weird, and not being able to sleep - usually landing me in the hospital. Haldol balances me almost exactly, and I am able to program computers and read and be happy."


"Started having pain, continuous in gall bladder area, felt as if I had a spider running under my skin and caused pain in a localized area. After several visits to several doctors, a digestive Doctor explained to me that prolonged stress could cause a localized pain in the body that was not found medically. Have taken anti-depressants on/off for 12 years. Stopped those and started nortriptyline 10mg at night. The spiders stopped crawling completely during the day, so the pain associated with it stopped. I take this 10mg only at night, within 15mins off to bed I go and sleep through the whole night. Could not imagine taking during the day. Overall, the medication has stopped the pain and this causes my day to be much more productive."


"Although it was expensive, it was well worth it.  My interstitial cystitis had gotten so bad it hurt to walk, I had to keep an ice pack between my legs.  Within one dose of this, I started feeling better. The one thing I would suggest is that the pharmacy put a warning on the bottle stating specifically that the medicine will possibly turn your urine blue/green.  The first time that happened, it was quite shocking!  Overall, this medicine really saved me when the other ones let me down."


"Tried it three times(20mgs) it worked fine for me the first time but not anytime there after."


"I'm a 53 year old female having problems with my blood pressure and my doctor had me try the Bystolic. 5mg was to much so tried 2.5mg and has worked for me still today.  Have had more energy, and have lost some weight.  Also have been going through menopause now, this has helped me with the control of my blood pressure."


"I've had really no side effects from Camila. I wouldn't even know I was taking anything except I have had spotting here and there on it.  It has made my period longer from 7 days to about 10 days, but much lighter and NO Cramps and No pms. Nothing is perfect but this pill has helped me so far."


"Triazolam works great and I've tried almost all the benzodiazepines for insomnia and this one works the best. My doctor retired and my new doctor wont write me a script for it, even though I showed him a printout that read I been taking it for 7 years. It has a real short half-life so you shouldn't wake up groggy in the morning. The doctor put me on Temazepam which doesn't work half as good."


"I have used Cialis for 5 yrs with great success since age 57. I cut 20 mg into 6 doses that last about 24 hrs each. Enables me to keep a strong erection for 45-60 minutes."


"My story is the same as most of yours; broken condom. This is my second time talking the pill, and I feel like the second time around I had a really adverse reaction. I have the most awful stomach pain, head aches, diarrhea (eww), dizziness, breast tenderness, fatigue... Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I got the wrong end of the stick this time I guess. The symptoms are making me nervous, but reading all the positive comments on here makes me feel better!"


"I LOVED this birth control! Never had any side effects. Breasts got bigger, which was a plus. Face was clear. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I am abstinent and no longer need a birth control. It's amazing! Three thumbs up."


"I have been using Albuterol for approximately 15 years,
and find it exceptional.  I have Emphysema, and do
not leave home without it."


"This drug attacked my eyes hours after the first dose. I had extremely blurry vision the entire three days I took it and then when I stopped, blood vessels burst and my eyes felt like they had sand in them for two days. United Healthcare forced me to take it because they don't want to pay for Januvia, which worked well for me."


"I gave taken contrave only 4 days and I already gained almost 2 pounds instead of losing. Should I continue to take it please help"


"So I ended up at the emergency room for severe upper hip pain - no injury to speak of and they prescribe Norco. Dr. explain it is sciatic nerve pain which originated in the back and radiated into the hip and thigh area. Nevertheless this drug did absolutely nothing except make me rather "woozy" but the pain is still very much there. Luckily I have ibuprofen on hand so when the Norco wore off I took that instead. I won't say it worked like a charm but it was certainly better than Norco. Hopefully I feel better in the morning if not I guess I'll be going to urgent care since it's the weekend :("


"Well, this was a last resort for my PMDD, which is pretty much destroying my life. I was VERY nervous about taking it - not interested in hair loss, weight gain etc. But I gave it a chance. 3 days in, developed a cluster of hives on left hand, and one on right hand. Extremely itchy. Absolutely no other changes in my products/lifestyle/food/etc.. So I know it's Yaz. Also all over burning/itchiness. Sun & showers make it worse. On day 4, realized I felt less..calm.. more anxious. Also finding it difficult to sleep. Doc claimed 'unlikely Yaz causing this'. Yeah, right. Told me to take Zyrtec for symptoms. Nope. This isn't working for me."


"I have found my stress tolerance threshold has dramatically increased since starting Celexa. Anxiety is better but not much."


"This is the 2nd time I've used Plan B within a 2 year time frame. Both times the condom broke, and both times I bought Plan B a few hours after. I was really skeptical about whether or not it would be as efficient using it again a second time. However I got my period about a week later. The only negative side effect would be a super heavy period. If that's the worst that comes from the situation though, I have zero complaints! This pill is a miracle in disguise! Ladies, I would highly recommend this to anyone in a similar situation to myself. Be smart and best of luck to you all!"


"I acquired adult asthma at age 41.  I was using a rescue inhaler at least 1-2 times per day and was having a hard time sleeping due to increased nasal discharge and asthma symptoms.  Literally choking at night.  Dr put me on the Dulera recommended dose of 200 mg 2 puffs, 2 times per day.  I was out of my mind hyper although I could instantly breath better.  I dropped the dose down to 1 puff early in the day and the Dr. said that it was fine as long as I felt it was helping.  It's been 3 months, I feel amazing. I no longer wake at night.  My sinuses are no longer dripping.  I breath easier and I've lost 15lbs because my activity level has increased now that I can breath.  I have not needed a rescue inhaler once.  Amazing for my needs."


"I am 28 and switched from the Nuvaring to this. I workout about 4xs a week and try to eat healthy but on Nuvaring I gained about 15lbs in 2mos (130lbs to 145lbs). I decided to switch because I needed something with low hormone levels. I love this BC, I quickly stabilized, back to normal weight, and lost my appetite as well. I was a little moody in the beginning but now I am 4mos in and feel normal with a normal sex drive. I had some spotting in a month 2 but that has stopped as well. ** I was advised to take a daily womens vitamin, along with a probiotic--- the combination helps to stabilize hormones** This could play a part as to why I feel great too!"


"So far I've had my period about tow weeks straight and had unbearable mood swings and have felt very depressed. I'm hoping things get better..."


"Within 4 hours my eyes ..lips were swelling ...headache....agitation...aches in joints which I Never have....fatigue ....."


"My daughter was diagnosed with CPP at 2 years old, the pubic hair and breast development disappeared by changing to an all organic diet even before starting the treatment. She still has mood swings and her height has improved with the lupron, but the doctor still can't give me a cause or hope of when we'll stop the vaccine."


"I am a 47 year old female that has asthma. I was only breathing 200 in my peak flow meter when I should have a peak flow of 400. I had bronchitis from catching a cold. My doctor prescribed this to me and I got a horrible headache and felt nauseous after the first pill so I stopped taking them. I started reading about food combining, changed my diet and shortly after and became healthier."


"Beyaz was the first birth control I experienced and I was on it for 2 years. It was nearly the perfect pill for me: no weight change, no mood swings, I regulated to it immediately, it dramatically shortened my periods to 3-4 days and was exactly on time every single month. The ONLY two problems I had that warranted me switching included a decreased sex drive, and multiple yeast infections. It was also a tad pricy. If it weren't for the yeast infections at least, I would stay on it! I'm nervous about switching pills, but I'm glad to know that I can go back on Beyaz if the others don't work out."


"I have been taking Mobic for over a year with no side effects other than an elevated blood pressure.  I had severe knee and ankle pain which completely went away after taking Mobic.  I attempted to stop the medication however pain returned after a few days."


"I have had Implanon for over a year and the side effects have been going on for that long.  My hair is falling out I have the worst anxiety and mood swings and have gained over 30lbs since on it, no amount of exercise and diet can help.  I have an appointment in 3 weeks to have it removed because of the side effects."


"Started when I was 22, now almost 25. When I first started, I would bleed lightly for about a month. After a while, cramps weren't so bad. I'd have a few lighter ones the week before my period and during and after. Not like the extreme ones I had before where I wanted to die. Definitely worked in preventing pregnancy, even without using condoms unless it's the week of placebo pills. I used to be very small, a size 0 (24inch) pants, I was probably a size 1 or 3 when I started the pill. Now I'm size 10 (30inch) pants, or bigger. I can't fit into any jeans. I've questioned whether I'm pregnant multiple times because of the weight, but I've taken tests that came out negative. 3 months in a row I didn't get my period. Emotional, bad mood swings."


"Both my children and I got the flu and were prescribed tamiflu.  I was surprised that even with insurance it cost 46 bucks per prescription.  Seems a bit high to me.  I couldn't even get my kids to take it because the taste of it made my son throw up.  I stopped taking mine about three days in because of how sick to my stomach it made me feel.  If I get the flu again I will just ride it out and not bother with the tamiflu."


"Awesome! No side effects thus far. No period small bruise after insertion."


"I started off with a relatively low dose of 300mg once a day.  After starting the medication,  I began to pass out regularly and could not see straight.  My anxiety did not change.  I returned to my psychiatrist and he lowered the dosage to 100mg, once a day and although I no longer experience side effects, I still have not noticed any changes to my anxiety and suffer anxiety attacks daily."


"After being diagnosed with costochondritis, I was given a narcotic painkiller, NSAIDs, voltaren gel, and lidocaine patches to help with the pain (which was hideous). None of these medications provided relief, so I was referred to my rheumatologist to receive steroid injections. However, my rheumatologist suggested trying injections of xylocaine into the cartilage of the affected ribs. By the time I got home, ALL of the pain was gone. It has been 3 days now, and I am still pain free. These injections were a miracle solution for me, and I would absolutely recommend trying this before doing steroid injections to anyone who has costochondritis. I did not feel the injections or the medication going in, and have had no side effects whatsoever."


"I got AWFUL cystic acne freshman year of college. I became convinced that it was hormonal and that besides taking the birth control I was already on there was nothing I could do. I finally went to see a dermatologist and she prescribed me doxycycline and benzaclin. The combination of the two yielded results in just a matter of weeks. I stopped taking doxycycline because at one point it got stuck in my throat and I got tonsillitis. It's only been half a year and my skin is completely clear! My scars are pretty much gone and my skin is even toned and smooth, finally! I highly recommend it. Its drying but it works wonders."


"I was put on Trazodone to help with PTSD symptoms and depression. This helps REALLY well in assisting me in going to sleep. I used to stay up pacing, cleaning...etc instead of sleeping. I was on 50mg, and then put on 100mg which not only helps with sleeping, but helps with my anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts."


"I was so scared to have the implant. I can honestly say it was pain free, quick and easy! I had my implant put in and so far I've had no problems. I know it's early days but if things change I will update on here!

I haven't bled at all since having the implant put in a week ago. The only thing I've noticed is that I have very little appetite which is not like me at all!

For those debating getting the implant I would highly recommended it and trust me the insertion does not hurt at all!.. quite a shock for a needle phobe like myself!

Just remember that contraception varies very differently for every woman. There are lots of horror stories online but until you try it for yourself you will never know.

For me it's a good start!! :o)"


"I took Accutane back in 2002, at that time I had been struggling with juvenile acne to severe cystic acne for a long time (11 years old). I was 28 when I started taking this. It changed my life, no more heavy makeup, no more hiding my face, no more painful breakouts.
I had no side effects, nor do I have any side effects now. My acne never came back 9 years later. Some people do not have side effects to this medication and if monitored correctly it is safe and it can change your life. "


"Used this on my 6 year old daughters eczema and it worked very well.  She no longer carries on about itching, redness and stinging."


"I'm 18 & have been using Tri Sprintec for the past 4 months mainly to try to get rid of my mild acne. In the first couple weeks, I was hopeful because I saw my face start to clear up & wasn't experiencing any side effects. However, as I kept taking it my acne started to flare up again, along with cramps & bloating pretty much all the time, mood swings, and slight weight gain (5 pounds). Since month 2, I started getting cystic acne (which I've never had before) on both my cheeks and especially in my chin area and along my jaw line, but my forehead stays almost completely clear. I thought my hormones just needed to get used to the pill but my skin has continued to get worse. I stopped taking Tri Sprintec & already seen improvement in 3 days."


"Like a previous reviewer, I was given metronidazole (3 x 200mg daily) for a tooth abscess after amoxycillin failed to clear the infection. Within 48 hours, as well as easing pain from the abscess, my Chronic Fatigue symptoms almost totally disappeared! After 7 years of believing that there was no hope of treatment I felt I had been given my life back again! Keen to investigate this further, my husband stumbled on the review by baroness 140, on 23 Feb 2014. We were stunned by the similarities. I received14 days treatment with metronidazole to allow for extraction of the tooth. I wait to see if the reprieve from CFS will continue."


"I started out at 319lbs on 8/23 I have been taking it for just over a month now and the results are more than what I have expected and more weight than I have ever been able to loose. I started taking this medication because I have been overweight for my whole life and I was ready for a change. I got Phentermine prescribed to me and I have taken it regularly for the past month and now I am down to 289lbs. I can most certainly say that I feel better having lost 30lbs and it has been a great start in my journey to become healthier and more fit."


"Depression sufferer my whole life.  On Deplin for last year and my lows vanished within first week on 15mg/day.  It's all I'm taking and the benefit is absolutely profound.  Zero side effects.  Most psychiatrists downplay the lack of studies but it definitely works for me better than anything else I've tried.  Good luck."


"Asked for Diflucan since that is just one pill that works overnight with barely any discomfort, was prescribed this instead as I’m late in my pregnancy. Ok, fine. NOT FINE. I would rather live with a YI than take this ever again. Immediately the inside of my vagina and the skin around it felt as if someone had stuffed it with poison ivy and taken a blow torch to it at the same time. Gave it ten minutes to die down, it didn’t. I couldn’t sit still. A half hour later, I just took a shower and washed it all out. I sit here now, sore, inflamed, uncomfortable, but at least this hot cream is out of me. I will not be continuing usage and will BEG my Dr for Diflucan instead. What a mean thing to do to a full term pregnant woman."


"Just saw a commercial for this, today. I don't like the idea of naltrexone in it. I won't be trying it. Thanks, but no thanks!"


"I love this, really it regulates me, helps my acne for sure, and it makes being a woman a lot less painful. Seriously. But if I Forget to take it, it quickly reminds me with an awful migraine."


"I started taking Adipex March 15 2012. My starting weight was 232. My first week weighing in I lost 7 lbs weighing 225lbs. I don't have too many complications only dry mouth. I use to drink a lot of sodas maybe a 8-9 sodas a day.  While taking Adipex I only drink water. As a result of the non sleep my doctor also prescribed me trazodone, this is to put you to sleep.  I now go to the gym and walk. I know after I stop taking the Adipex my eating and drinking habits will change.  I love this pill the only thing is a little constipated that comes from not eating.  My first week I just took some stool softeners. Other than the dry mouth, constipation, and a little stomach cramps I am good."


"Works like a charm - a crampy, semi-painful charm but still I'm 150lbs, 5'7''.
I would recommend starting with one pill, no dairy before or after, and lots of water to go with it. The pain - and there is pain - is bearable, and if you absolutely need to go, Dulcolax will get you there overnight. But make sure you can afford to be up during a couple hours that night."


"My daughter has been taking Remicade since 2006. She has now built up antibodies to it and it doesn't work anymore. They now are going to try Humira. Hope this works. She has had to have an ileostomy done since the Remicade didn't work for very long in her and now the Crohn's has made it to her stomach. Just because it appears to be working in the beginning of treatment doesn't mean it will last in your body as long as it is suppose to. People please be warned and be cautious."


"I was on Nexplanon for 3 months. For the first week I felt alright, but I started to feel like a slow fog was building around me. I bleed for the entire 3 months while I had Nexplanon. It was a constant bleeding, with minor cramps. But that was not the worst part of it, the worst part was the severe severe depression that happened. I felt like I was in a constant state of a bad dream and couldnt see my way out of it. I was bleeding non-stop and felt horrible the whole time, so no sex drive at all. I would HIGHLY suggest any women thinking of trying this to reconsider."


"I took Ultram for over a year after herniating a lumbar disc.  Apart from fatigue, a little dizziness and the usual constipation that seems to accompany most pain medicines, I had no major side effects.  It did not eliminate the pain, but decreased it enough for me to function for the most part (sit, drive, sleep).  However, over time my system became accustomed to the drug and it did not work for me anymore.  Thankfully, I had minimal withdrawal symptoms.  I have since tried Neurontin (Gabapentin), Nortriptyline and Topamax for chronic pain, with mixed results, and significantly worse side effects.  Still no long term solution for the pain."


"I just started this pill a week ago, so far it has increased my appetite. I love it! Since I rapidly lost weight this summer due to depression. I'm no longer depressed and my sex drive increased. Plus I have a fast metabolism so it's perfect so far. Good luck!!!"


"I  was prescribed azithromycin for tonsilitis/phyrangitis. On day 4 with the z-pak and still can't eat can't even swallow my own saliva without being afraid it will hurt. This medication is completely useless my swelling hasn't gone down and the pus pockets are now on the right side of my throat.  I am in so much pain haven't eaten for 4 days"


"So I just had the botox done yesterday.  I was really hoping for possible reaction but with in a few hours I couldn't urinate called the Dr on Call and pissed (pun!) me off for he never called me . I had to go to my own hospital for 3 hours which was way to far. The hospital drained my bladder all though not much in it and had me begging him please there is still more iron in there he said nothing I'm sorry. I went to there bathroom  5 more times. I have one of the worst cases and next is getting the box implanted."


"I have been on this medication for almost a full month now and I don't really feel any different. They keep wanting to increase the dosage because they think it will help me. I am on 40mg and it just makes me feel like I did before not happy but not sad. I have periods throughout the day where my mood drops so quickly and I stay depressed pretty much the rest of the day. I get extremely tired and it's not good especially going to school. It's a good medication but it doesn't work for me and my anxiety has been out the roof lately."


"It works for my daughter with minimal side effects.  One thing though is after over a year of taking it seems to be losing some effectiveness.  Trying Onfi with it now."


"I got mine inserted on 1/29/16 and I love it. My doctor told me before that for about the first 90 days I would experience different side effects because my body just needed to get used to the hormones. Since the insertion I had 3 periods lasting around 1 week each. I had random spotting a couple times and then it stopped at the end of May. I did have stomach pain every single time I ate for 2 weeks around the time the bleeding and spotting stopped so I think that was just my body finally regulating itself. The only thing I have noticed is that my hair falls out more but it grows faster than it has ever grown before but so does my body hair. Before, I would shave and be smooth for a day or 2 but now I feel stubble after a few hours"


"Awful product! Was prescribed it by my dermatologist who said I had rosacae. Does remove all redness in less than 20 min but face starts flushing hard-core after 10 hours when product stops working. The whole time I used it I thought my rosacae had gotten worse and worse so I applied it daily instead of only iccasionally. Stopped the cream after one month to see what would happen, and in two days my face went back to normal and I don't even have rosacae anymore. Just a reaction to coffee. Bad doctor and bad drug. Stay away!"


"I have tried all the pain killers including morphine, Dilaudid, IV and pill form and many many others over the past 10 years. Nothing seemed to help. For the past 8 years I have been on Norco. It has helped take the edge off my pain.

I am chronically ill with Lyme disease, co-infections, herniated discs in my neck and too many others to list. My body likes Norco the best. "


"Tried Imitrex and Relpax first, but had bad heart-squeezing and neck-squeezing side effects.  Tried Maxalt and did not have that problem.  It usually takes away the migraines, but can take 1-2 hours to get relief.  I'm also very fatigued after the pain goes away, which makes daytime onset of migraines a hassle.  Also for the 1-2 hours I am waiting for it to work, the pain actually intensifies until suddenly it lets go and the blood vessels in my head feel cold.  Strange, but true."


"It is a LIFE SAVER. Since I started the medication, I never had anxiety again. I can drive whenever I want and I can do things that I would avoid before the medication. I really recommend this medicine. I think that it does a lot of good things. My mom has also had a really good experience with it as well. I am on 10mg and I haven't had to change yet. I am also prescribed Xanax for the anxiety, but I never take it because the anxiety seems to have disappeared. I gave the medicine a 9 because I have NO sex drive since I started taking Lexapro. I don't like it, but I'll take no sex drive over being miserable. Good luck!"


"The gas this medicine produces makes sleep comes very quickly and does not leave you groggy in the morning."

"This was the first birth control I was ever on, and I loved that it cleared up my skin. I've been off of it for a year now, and all of my acne has returned, and my mood swings are back in full force. I am going to start it again soon. My only complaint is I never had cramps before this pill, and it gave me minor cramps, nothing completely unbearable. I also had a major loss in sex drive, but overall, a good experience that I would recommend to others."


"This is the worst itch and pain I have experienced. I should have read these reviews before I used this product. I used the one day to try to end this quickly. It has made the symptoms much much worse, I couldn't sleep at night literally being tortured. I feel so miserable and just want to cry. How do I get this out of me?"


"Lexapro has changed my life significantly. I had GAD and my anxiety was absolutely awful, especially since I am in graduate school. I started on Lexapro and didn't start seeing the effects for about 6 months; but it was well worth the wait. I am the "old me" and couldn't be happier. My advice is to give it time- it really does take a while."


"I've been on Caziant for 9 months now and the only adverse side effect I've had is weigh gain, other than that it's worked great! I've gained about 15 pounds since starting the meds and have been exercising a ton and eating very healthy the entire time, so I'm fairly certain it has to do with the medication. I haven't had mood swings, my periods have been incredibly regular with no spotting in between, no headaches or nausea so all-in-all I would say this is a good birth control!"


"I had a baby and afterwards was constipated for 9 days (even with daily stool softeners).  On day 9 I got MoM.  I did not take the max dose.  I was able to have a bowel movement (what I believed to be 9 days worth) within an hour. My baby is now 12 days old and I still have constant diarrhea and can't eat without ending up on the toilet.  I won't take this again"


"I have been on triumeq for over 3 months now with little or if any side effects I was diagnosed with HIV in October 2013 my body was doing ok with the virus my cd4 count was around 500 but a high viral load for the first 2 years of infection I decided in October 2015 to start medication I was told by my doctor it would either be atripla or triumeq being in the UK where our nhs provides a free wonderful service I was hoping for triumeq given the lesser side effects and was worried about atripla which is a more regimented medication having told my doctor sometimes I work nights meant that atripla was ruled out as it should be taken before sleeping due to possible side effects so I was prescribed triumeq "


"Effective for depression and fatigue.
Causes me to have energy, to need much less sleep, euthymic mood.
Sometimes euphoric mood, feel more outgoing, have increased libido, and feel very confident.
Negative side effects are hostility, being too assertive/pestering people/belaboring a point/arguing, going too far, some impulsive behavior.
I also get fearful of things I'm not normally afraid of. Fear, not anxiety. Can't drive on the busy interstate now because I overreact when trucks pass me -- it jangles my nerves. Also can't go on rides at an amusement park or go up in a tall building. Physically afraid.
Also causes restless legs at night -- an urge to shake out my legs.
Causes dehydration/muscle cramps. "NUUN" electrolyte drink helps."


"I've been on and off this medication for about 12 years now for my autonomic disorder, and it's been wonderful for me! I don't have a good reaction to Paxil, but Zoloft has worked great. I'm much less anxious, my symptoms have subsided, and I've even been able to come down on my dose recently. I don't recommend just coming off of it without talking to your doctor, because you can have some nasty side effects with that, and be warned that it takes between 15-30 days to fully take effect, so you have to be patient, but the results are great with little to no side effects!"


"It is the best has really helped me I fill like my old self thank god for this medicine"


"I would just like to point out that I wasn't taking this birth control for protection while having sex. I am a lesbian. I was taking this medication to help with the severity of my periods. When I first started this BC, everything seemed great. This was my third time switching pills so I thought I finally found one that was great. After three months this was sadly not the case. I became very angry and furious at everything and everyone for no reason. This pill made me extremely depressed and anxious so bad that I could barely sleep. I almost ended things with my spouse because I was so angry at her (for no reason). Cramps are horrific and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I am giving up on BC completely"


"It works like birth control should work considering I'm not pregnant, and it doesn't get me sick like Ortho-Tricyclen does. The down sides? Doesn't help my acne, my period cramps, or have any other advantages. Also, did I mention when I first took the pill, I had a period for over a month."


"I have been on Implanon for about a month now, first of all I don't regret getting this type of birth control. It was painless to get put in, and if you are like me and forget to take the pill everyday with Implanon you don't have to worry about it at all. I was really scared when I first got it. I read all these reviews saying it was a terrible product. I have not had any irregular bleeding whatsoever or bloating. Implanon makes you want to eat a lot which is why people complain they gain weight, if you stay eating normally like I have been doing you will only gain about five pounds. The worst part I would have to say, is I always feel very sleepy. I will definitely recommend it."


"Prozac is my miracle medicine. I have been on 6 different antidepressants over the years and Prozac is the only one that ever helped me feel "normal", with NO side effects. It is wonderful, it's hard to find an SSRI that causes no side effects for me. Prozac has been the only one and I just love it. My quality of life is much better now and I can function in a happy state of mind. Wonderful."


"I hated taking this medicine. My doctor gave it to me because I'm 10 weeks pregnant and it's a safe antibiotic, but it makes me extremely exhausted, and have nausea.  I didn't even know I had a urinary tract infection until the routine test came up positive, and the medicine make me feel worse. "


"Great for chronic idiopathic urticaria"


"I am a 28 year old male and was diagnosed with Crohn's 6 years ago. I had a flare up with an abdominal aneurysm and lost approx 90 lbs. I was put on Remicade and it has saved my life. I have been on it every 8 weeks for about 4 years and have regained a healthy weight and my symptoms are at an all time low. My only complaints are that getting the treatment is time consuming and the cost is obscene if you don't have good insurance. However, despite all that, it truly has saved my life and I couldn't be happier with the actual results of the medication."


"This is my first time having a yeast infection in a long time until I had to be on antibiotics for a bug bite for 10 days and on my last day I got the most irritating and uncomfortable feeling ever!!!  I went to my local Walgreens and bought the Monistat 1 day bout 7 in the morning immediately came home inserted it and used the cooling wipe which I didn't find cooling at all if anything it burned from me wiping with it and so I applied the itch cream and Lord a big mistake I made it made it burn and itch more I figured it would go away after a few min but noooo it didn't long story short Preparation H wipes for women and A&D ointment were my best friends instant relief!!!! Try it!"


"I loved this Medication! It helped honestly within maybe a day or so, downfall I got a yeast infection from it but I've gotten em before on antibiotics so I wasn't too surprised or shocked but other than that this Medication worked fine, I used it for bladder infection plus I had to use it before a kidney stone procedure as well ! Love it !"


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


"Best pain reliever."


"I am 18 years old and have constantly struggled with my weight. My doctor recommended Mirena, so that I wouldn't have to worry about quite so much hormonal weight gain. I had the Mirena inserted on October 31st and it is now December 13 and I am still bleeding. This isn't spotting, it is full blown, blood clots and a super tampon and liner, period. The cramps, which have subsided were so terrible the doctor put me on a pain medicine to cease them. For some this works great, for me? I'm seriously considering having it removed. I'd rather go on the shot and gain weight, then have a constant period."


"I suddenly developed osteoarthritis of the knee with crippling pain. I was overwhelmed with the pain and the challenges of my mobility. My doctor prescribed Cymbalta for the depression I'd developed as a result of ambulatory challenges and within two days, I noticed that my knee pain had subsided.  After a few more days, I realized that the connection with the end of my pain and Cymbalta was obvious.  I called my doctor and learned that she was very much aware that she would kill two birds with one stone if she prescribed Cymbalta.  I've been telling all my friends with chronic pain about the wonderful medication.  Yoo-hoo!"


"Suprep is not the tastiest drink in the world, but it gets the job done. The worst side effects I experienced were chills and slight nausea. I did the split dose, so 1 bottle the night before the test, and one the morning of. There was no vomiting, and it did it's job in about 3 hours, although, I recommend staying close to a toilet just in case. It's definitely the worst part of the colonoscopy, though, so just know as they're wheeling you back for the procedure, the worst is over."


"I took this pill a few times in the past couple years and it worked every time.  My only side effect was nausea so I took a nap during that.  My insurance paid for most it I only paid $3.00.  Compare $3.00 to Ministat 7 for about $20.  I love this pill!!!"


"Put on Xarelto 2 mos ago. for dvt in left leg.  3rd such occurrence.  Have a genetic disorder for blood clots. Only had mild headaches.  As for the stomach problem, after reading info on this drug found out it has lactose in it.  So being lactose intolerant I bought some pills for this condition, and take it before I swallow my pill.  Works fine.  No more stomach problems.  My one concern here is when I cut myself I do not bleed anymore than I did before.  So am wondering if this med is working for me."


"I was very hesitant to go on anything, after years of self medicating with alcohol. I've been on Pristiq for 3 days, and already, I feel much better, less angry, much less anxiety. The side effects have been minimal, but a bit annoying, we'll see how that goes."


"This ointment is amazing.  Received a prescription as a result of infections from professional nails to see if I was prone to staff infection.  When the physician asked if I had any bump issues, realized this could also cure my painful recurring boil problems.  This medication took care of both.

The only problem is that, against physicians recommendation, I began using it daily with the mindset that I never wanted to have another boil.  I think it is causing my hair to fall out.

This is not a permanent medication that should be taken."


"Diagnosed Wolff Parkinson White syndrome at 17.  Experienced 3 to 5 serious attacks of uncontrollable supraventricular tachycardia per year until 35.  At 35 went to ER with ragged variable pulse up to and over 400 bpm for two days.  Diagnosed as afib.

Underwent some experimental ablation at Cedars the third day and Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome disappeared.  Q wave stopped reading inverted.

Now I have afib.  Several failed ablations and some shock work changed nothing.  For the next 30 years just suffered with 6 to 8 severe afib events per year.  Finally got medicare and treatment.  Simply, Sotalol, 80mg/12hrs has relieved me of knee buckling afib events.  I am in afib almost all the time but hardly severe enough to affect my routine."
