I used it 4x a day for about 2 weeks n it is gone!!! I ran out but will b getting more to keep applying so it stays away. It does burn a lil w open sores, but goes away quickly. The smell could b better but w these results, idc"


"I have been losing my hair gradually for the last 10 years my hairdresser said something about it then I started noticing my hair was falling out by the handfuls  so I got a little nervous and bought Rogaine for women wow this stuff is amazing I can't believe how thick my hair is after all these years I don't know why I didn't try this product sooner but now I am and I'm glad I did  I haven't had any side effects from it all go I highly recommend washing your hands after applying it to your hair to prevent transferring it onto your face"


"I've had chronic daily cluster headaches for about 35 years.  Actiq is the only med that I've tried to offer near-complete relief.  I've been using them for almost five years and they still work as well as the first time.  For me, a true "miracle drug"."


"I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November of 2016. Outside of lacking energy I was happy and healthy.  They prescribed levothroxine 50 mcg. Since starting this medication I can't stop gaining weight, I have severe edema in my lower legs and joint pain.  Doctor and pharmacist don't think these are side effects but nothing else has changed.  I feel like I've aged 10 years in 6 months. I most likely will discontinue and suffer the effects of hypothyroidism rather than take this poison"


"Worked pretty well for restless legs syndrome, but when I started on it, I also had undiagnosed sleep apnea. Since using it with the CPAP, I have never slept better!"


"I was prescribed 500 mg tablets twice daily for 7 days. This has been a truly awful experience. Throwing up constantly, horrible heartburn, insomnia, exhaustion, heart racing, sugar cravings, HORRIBLE migraines, light sensitivity

The side effects almost made me give up several times. But I stuck it out and took the medicine. Now I'm cured of my infection, but I'm not sure if it was worth suffering through the medication or not."


"Helps me with being able to go out without thinking everyone is looking or talking about me, more confident and less hot flushes and palpitations, however all I do is sleep. I'm going to bed about 8 at night and waking up at half 7, almost falling asleep during work. Great for people who can't sleep well but for me I don't want to spend the rest of my life in bed! Also I would advise not to drink alcohol with this, seriously blank outs no matter how much you drink. You don't realize till the next morning that you can't remember a thing which is a horrible experience. Going to try to come off this gradually."


"I'm going into my third pack of generic brand. I LOVE IT. Of course worth any medication there's always side effects and allowing your body to get used to it. My first pack I bled for a little over a month but of course that was already spoken about at the doctors. I'm about to go into my third pack in about a week and a half and I've a some light spotting, but nothing to be alarmed about. A little upsetting because I don't want my period at all unless it's when I'm supposed to get it but this is normal. I highly recommend this method of birth control, my friend encouraged me to do this instead of continuing with the IUD I had inserted for 4 years, I give it a 10!"


"I do not have sensitive skin. The first time I tried using this product, it drys up my face causing redness and flaky. Now it's hurts so much I have to discontinue this product. My face is so dry and red now."


"This med has been great.  I have suffered Bipolar Disorder and panic attacks for years.  It has helped me tremendously.  You may need to adjust the amount so you don't become tired during the day but once you find the optimal dose I feel it's a worthwhile medication."


"Smoked 1.5 to 2 packs a day for 30 years. Loved every minute of it, but the cost was getting out of control thanks to the liberal wacko's on the left. Used Chantix for a month and it was easy to ignore the smoking urge from the first week on through. No side effects to speak of from the Chantix, Chantix really worked great for me."


"Nightmare! I was on the xulane birth control patch for 2 full months. I have felt like a complete Zombie with no energy at all. I can feel depression, anxiety and mood swings getting worse. I'm starting to get headaches and nausea which I have never experienced before. The patch doesn't stick very well on the skin. I've gotten rashes and it's always itchy at the site. I'm giving up on birth control because the crippling mental side effects are not worth it. I'm going back to condoms forever. BEWARE the mental/emotional side effects sneak up on you over time."


"I was told to take this 40 years ago, but didn't like the taste/texture.  My pain and diarrhea got so bad I started taking 1 scant tablespoon a day and I have no more pain and only rare diarrhea.  I wish I had started using it years ago."


"This was my first time on any birth control and I did not have a good experience. This birth control made me nauseous, gave me headaches, caused me to gain weight, gave me HORRIBLE break outs, and even made me sick. I took this for less than a week, I will never recommend this to somebody. I was put on this by my doctor so I hadn't had a chance to look it up before I got on it. This is not a thing I will take again or give another chance. I suggest trying something different."


"This product really works!  It is the first thing that really provided fast pain relief.  It is a little on the expensive side but worth every penny since it actually works."


"Experienced choking, headaches and after using for 2 weeks progresssively worse nose bleeds.  I ended up in the emergency today, my nose is a mess inside.  Cauterizations two days in a row, patches put on the area that have been bleeding.  Now I can take no nasal spray until everything heals.  I have taken Nasonex for several years and like it but my mail pharmacy stopped carrying it.  Threw away 3 containers of the horrible Dymista."


"Within 3 days acne pustules and swollen skin had reduced and not painful in my entire chin/jaw area.
Its a bit drying and skin feels 'tight' but that's easy to handle with applying extra moisturizer.
  I've been an esthetician for 20 years so when adult acne showed up I tried everything spa treatment wise but after 2 years of the pain, discolouration, constant break outs this is what my GP prescribed - I'm so thankful!"


"I have scoliosis that causes sereve pain, my spine is S shaped. its a pretty severe curve. Anyway been to a number of doctors, finally got a PM doc that prescibed a number of pain meds that did not work, I almost gave up until he prescribed oxycontin. What a relief, now we have to adjust the dosage a bit but finally got it perfect, I take 4 40mg pills a day and been on that same dose for about a year and it is still working great, I am not building a tolerance to it at all."


"I got Hep C from a tattoo back in San Diego in 1975 according to my Gastro Doc. Have had it foir years and just started feeling bad in 2013 I have been on Harvoni now for 8 weeks. Hardly any siode effects and energy level is almost back to normal. This is a miracle drug.

I wish the FDA would approve H-86 for cancer patients also if you have not heard of it, look it it up and never go to CHEMO Therapy!!!!"


"I have had this for about a month now. I started while on my period and just started slightly spotting. I have been fine (no cramps, not tired, no weight gain, etc.). I did notice the day before I started spotting I felt BLAH. I felt like crying the whole day but The next day I started spotting and my mood was back to normal. I would give it more than just a month. They tell you that people react differently to each method and that some people will have a period on and off for up to 6 months. The insertion of it wasn't as bad as I thought. As others have said the most painful part was when they put the numbing medicine in and then if you bump it while its bruise, its still kind of tender for about a week after. Overall GREAT so far."


"I took this medicine for a sinus infection. Worked great for that but the side effects for me were unbearable.  On day 7 of the medicine I had the worst stomach cramps that I have ever had and diarrhea. Sleepiness was a constant, slept all day and night. Had no desire to eat at all.  Had chills, cough, fever, severe headaches, irritability, heartburn and greatly decreased frequency of urination.  "


"Had to take this medicine because wasn't able to find heartbeat.

It was the worst pain I've experienced.  My Dr had prescribed me some strong pain  killers and it did nothing.  I was throwing up and had diarhea.  I was so weak nauseous and in such pain.  I was freezing and shaking so much. I felt a bit better when i finally went into a hot bath. But then trying not to fall asleep and drown.   I Hated every second of it. If had to choose again probably do dnc but I guess it is different for everyone"


"I have struggled with bouts of depression my whole adult life. Now that I have 3 children, I realized how my depression spats could and was affecting them. Short fuse, drinking too much in the evenings, inconsistent parenting responses. I am also high strung and type-A, and have a dormant eating disorder. Gave citalopram 20 a try and for 2 weeks, I felt like everything was worse...I was nauseous, extra tired all day (even though I took it at night), crying jags and lack of stamina or enthusiasm. Then, everything changed! Life is good, chaotic and full. I am my best me. And I love sex! There is peace now in my head, which makes me more productive, less self-deprecating, and much more patient."

"I used to get migraines 3-5 times a week, one of which would usually be severe.

Elavil reduced my migraine frequency to about once a week (if that!). The migraines I get now are extremely mild.

I would highly recommend this medication for migraine prevention."


"This drug sort of helps with hot flashes -- diminished them by about 75%.  HOWEVER, the person who designed the packaging for this drug needs to be fired.  I think that most of the expense for this product comes from the overdone packaging alone.  The capsules are difficult to get out of the blister packaging.  The cardboard wrapping is excessive and impossible to open without the help of scissors and a box cutter!!  Terrible, terrible, terrible...."


"I got prescribed the Reglan, for my nausea, and gastroparesis, and I only need to take two or three days worth and not the full months worth, it works great, except for one of the minor side effects that I get every time I take it. I would recommend it to anybody who has nausea, gastroparesis, GERD."


"have been on it,for over 10 years,and have taken 60 mgs every morning,its been a life saver for me."


"I have been in pain for years. I did massage therapy, physiotherapy, yoga, ran, walked and weights.  Finally, my Doctor gave me a script for Celebrex - Instant pain relief in both my neck and lumbar. It is November 11, 2015 and I am going to celebrate tonight. I am pain FREE!"


"It works in my depression, I feel more positive and happy but I had gastrointestinal problems ,and slurred speech people think I am drinking,also sluggish.I received a package from my doctor.Don't know if this effects will go away but if not ,I won't continue."


"I should be the Chantix poster child. I smoked 2 packs a day for 23 years and quit like it was NOTHING on Chantix. I tried everything else...patch, gum, pills, you name it. I never had even 1 side effect. I went through a very stressful time right after I was finished with the 3rd month of Chantix and still stayed smoke free. Amazing! Before I would have ran for a smoke the minute anything got stressful. I will NEVER again smoke a disgusting cigarette and am much happier."


"The Nexplanon was awful for me! The only positive thing about it was my periods were reduced to a few days of spotting. It gave me awful anxiety and daily panic attacks. After doing some research this isn't as uncommon as I thought. I just got it removed and I'm going to give the Paragard a try. Hopefully it will work better for me because Nexplanon was a nightmare!"


"works very slow. it took months for an improvement not weeks and the improvement is very limited, also had semen leakge as side effect after 125mg"


"I got mine put in in January of 08. I got pretty heavy periods for about 6 months after. I haven't used a tampon since, mini pads work just fine. I get it roughly every%uFEFF 8 weeks. Sometimes if it goes too long, I have taken a pregnancy test to make sure, all negative. I really don't like people making negative comments when they had it in less than a week. It's not instantaneous, you have to give your body time to adjust. The Implanon itself doesn't hurt, it hasn't pained me since the first few days. I have had NONE of these symptoms, any weight gain was from unhealthy eating habits. I do not bleed constantly, not stressed, crazy or depressed."


"I was diagnosed with an antibiotic-resistant UTI in February 2015 and put on macrobid pending IV administration of a carbapenum and after two courses of cipro. I can't say for sure, but strongly suspect, that the macrobid caused an intracranial inflammatory response that precipitated rapid-onset hydrocephalus, for which I required surgical intervention in the form of a shunt. My brain felt hot and swollen, and I developed hideous prickly headaches, a shuffling gait and a tendency to walk into broom closets. When I called my doc and said I thought my brain was being killed by the stuff, she said, so, stop taking it. I'll never know if the macrobid was a cause, an agent, or happenstance, but would strongly urge extreme caution."


"I have severe acne and minocycline is the only thing that seems to be working for me. When I take it, there is pretty much never any new acne that comes, except if I forget to take it, then instantly a lot of zits appear.

The problem is that my red marks are still as visible as ever and taking forever to go away and my acne will come back if I stop minocycline. This is my experience, though. It may work better for some people."


"I had the depo shot for three years. I decided to go on something different So I chose the skyla. I was super nervous about getting considering I'm very self conscious but it wasn't as embarrassing as I had thought it would be. The insertion was pretty terrible. It didn't take long but a minute but the pain was unlike anything I have ever experienced. I haven't had kids so this was almost to much for me. But I just gritted my teeth an didn't think about it. I was quit dizzy and the cramps were miserable. For hours it was terrible. And it even got so bad I threw up. I slept restlessly that night but in the morning I felt fine. No more cramps or pain. During the day though I felt strange just a little off. Other than that. Its great! I recommend"


"I have tried many bipolar, mania medicines with none being the right one, however when my doctor prescribed Abilify it helped majorly in my life. I am on a combination of Abilify, Divalproex and Trazadone. All of which work in my favor. It is very comforting to know there is a medicine out there that understands bipolar patients."


"Horrible allergy symptoms-total stopped up nose and sneezing and unable to sleep due to congestion! I'd been using decongestant nasal sprays daily thru allergy season which was becoming all year! I started using Flonase one week ago at night and within 2 days all symptoms are gone! I love you Flonase. I'm telling everyone!"


"I have been taking Loestrin for 14 days now.  This is my first pill, so I was very concerned with side effects when I started.  The first three days weren't too bad except for some light nausea.  The fourth night was absolutely terrible- it made me feel like I had the flu the nausea was so bad.  After that night, I've only experienced occasional light to moderate nausea.  Mood swings here and there as well.  Overall feeling pretty good.  I have not noticed an increase in weight, cup size, or skin quality."


"5'11 and  255 lbs started three months ago. Early days seemed like my weight loss was minimal but once I stuck with my diet and cleaned the cobwebs off the bike. Then the weight came off 3.4 pounds per week average now 212 pounds and going strong. Side effect a little dry mouth the rest of side effects never happened to me. It cost 75.00 and I would have got more if I knew this was going to happen."


"Causes a little tiredness, but completely eliminates anxiety and provides an excellent night's sleep. 50mg at night."


"This medication worked well for me! 200 mg and I was rock hard for hours wow. Viagra was weaker for me I don't know why. I got burned by a topical medicine cream [FDA is a joke and a half] anyway insurance will ONLY sadly pay for 6 pills a month] sick right? very very sick. Anyway this worked better for me than viagra. Reason being is must be genetics that .1% difference in humans does make a huge difference for medical compounds. Also Avanafil is structurally different vastly from Viagra. Nitric Oxide effect is increased  therefore GMP increases thus leading to better erections. Try all PDE 5 inhibitors before you say they won't work because what may work for one may NOT work for another."


"Now on Aviane for almost 2 months, I'm somewhat happy... My periods once again follow a schedule and have become lighter. I don't notice any difference in cramping or bloating from before (I usually experience those on the first day and still do). I'm occasionally nauseous in the mornings. The worst side-effect for me is acne. I had pretty normal skin before- dry with one or two breakouts a month- now I'm oily. And no matter how diligent I am about skincare, I wake up every morning with at least 3 or 4 (& often more) new whiteheads. I'm getting frustrated, but trying to give my body another month to regulate. I'd hate to chance switching to something else that's worse, but if this acne doesn't subside, I'm going back to my doctor."


"Can't see what the problem is, it says on the packet what it is going to do and taste like. It tastes horrible, hot, cold or warm, it cleans the bowel. What more do you want? Except a positive result after the colonoscopy. Go with the flow and get on with it."


"Still have major depressive episodes lasting 3-6 months. Also, weight gain and itchy scalp."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Taste wasn't nearly as bad as past treatments. I just gulped it down and chased it with one of the two 16 oz water chasers. Started working 15 minutes later- so far, three visits to the bathroom of 10-15 min each, and I'm 90 minutes into it. Seems like it's working as intended....thus far, nothing more than a noisy stomach and I'm a bit chilled."


"I was prescribed phendermetrazine for the first week and it made me feel awful!  Bad headaches and made my heart pound.  In my first week of taking it I lost 8.5 pounds I weighed 283 when I started and lost the 8.5 pounds and am now weighing 275 It has helped me to not feel hungry all day. but with the bad side effects I asked to be put on phentermine and have had no side effects  and a lot of energy and my heart isn't pounding so let's see if I get the same results.  I'm super excited !!"


"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."


"Allows me to function."


"I have had an erratic sleep schedule since the end of January of this year.  I had been taking trazodone and it just wasn't working anymore.  I talked to my Dr.  She suggested Sonata.  I was desperate for a good nights sleep.  I took 1 last night. I believe it is a good idea to relax before you take it.  I slept for 3 to 4 hours. But still felt the calming effect of it and went right back to bed.  Not a full nights,  but hey,  it was better.  I think if we sit and wait for a pill to kick it,  it makes us tense.  I'm going to continue on.  I believe in a weeks time,  I will have a pattern back.  Don't give up so easily after 1 night.  Give it a chance.  "


"Took 10mg samples in the AM, nausea and dizziness big problem 3rd and 4th day. Stopped for 2 days. Then took 1/2 pill in the evening around 8PM. A little nausea, sleep was affected but adjusting. But I believe it is what I need. I left the house 3 times on the weekend, answered my phone, went into 6 stores and most important, while home didn't lay in bed."


"First time I took it I felt better almost instantly- it was truly crazy! The second time was the same but the third time it didn't help as much. However, it helped some and has so far kept me a little less feeling like I'm gonna puke. Better than nothing."


"I have had a generally great reaction to Frova. After having bad side effects for years it was nice to find a med that works 95% of the time and without major side effects. There is some light nausea if taken first thing in the morning before breakfast. The main problem is with insurance since it is still a relatively new med. If its not covered it will cost about $450."


"Im 21 with no kids, and got Skyla inserted yesterday. Before my procedure I did all my research and was very nervous when I read others people's experience. Before my appointment I took 4 pills of Ibuprofen. I was really nervous, however it was not that bad. The first part, which the doctor measures  your cervix, just feels like a bad menstrual cramp. Its not pleasant but is tolerable. Next she inserted the Skyla. This part lasted about 3 minutes with long intesne cramps, after she was finished the pain was gone. On the ride home I did experience cramps but I was still able to function. Everyones pain tolerance is different, but from my experience it did not hurt that bad."


"It worked for my joints but I got dizzy and a headache. I had to stop taking it because I continued to feel faint."


"Plan B is awesome! I really works, i was freaking out and looking for reviews just like some of you now because, i was on my most fertile days when i had unprotected sex, and i took plan b just two hours later and it worked!!! i got my period the next week after that.

*If you have not purchased plan b yet and are unsure go on the website for $10 off coupon before you get it."


"This BC pill is not for me. I have bled everyday since starting this pill and have had anxiety attacks (which I have never experienced before)."


"I am 24 and have had clear skin all my life. I had to change contraceptives and got Implanon. A side effect was one to two very large and painful pimples appearing on a weekly basis. My doctor prescribed me Duac for the breakouts and I noticed results straight away. In the five weeks I've been using Duac, I haven't had any pimples. My skin was very dry in the first week but went back to normal in the second week. It has been great for my skin and my confidence."


"Never had so many thoughts really down thoughts as I did well on this medication. Also, daily dosage only lasted 4-6 hours before effect decreased rapidly. Generic Adderall lasts longer with no downers. This one was not the godsend I had hoped it would be."


"I had a small lump removed from below my lip, and was prescribed efudex to be applied twice a day for four weeks. I have just finished that time, so I don't know how effective it has been. I had no reaction for 9 days, then my lip became very swollen and weepy, cracked in the corner. My GP suggested that I put vaseline around the spot before applying the cream, and that helped the lips considerably.  I changed to paw-paw cream, which seemed to help. Now it is six days since I stopped applying the cream and I still have what looks like a large cold sore, as well as the red crustiness under my nose which started only when I stopped the efudex. I am hoping this may go soon. I am not sure whether to put anything on them or not."


"Vimpat is the only medication I have taken for partial simple seizure. I had never had a seizure until I had a car wreck. Did not have seizure until 4 days after wreck. Many other anti seizure medicines would interfere with my immunosuppressants. I only take 25mg  twice a day but makes me tired and forgetful. No more seizure in over a year though."


"Had a very nasty Lumbar disc prolapse which was causing pressure on my Sciatic nerve, I was prescribed 2mg Diazepam and Codeine (which I haven't taken).
Ordered to take the Diazepam 3x daily but I've always been sceptical about taking medication, however certain mornings/evenings became unbareable therefore I bit the bullet and took the Diazepam.
To my surprise within 20 minutes symptoms reduced, hopefully returning to my beloved sport within 4 weeks now!
I must add I have been undertaking mobility exercises and stretches which I believe is reducing symptoms as I'm feeling the need to take less medication and I'm gaining more range on my stretches now."


"My personal experience..it helps my back pain for a couple hours, but I just have to keep downing 100MG every 2 hours and I'm not doing that. You get high off of it with little pain relief. My side effects: severe headaches, nausea, dizziness.**IF YOU ARE TAKING ANTI DEPRESSANTS research SEROTONIN SYNDROME** Can also increase depression. Stay safe & check this site for drug interactions.

Doctors prescribe Tramadol for pain they don't consider severe enough for say percocet or vicodin, but severe enough that it still needs an opiate to manage the pain. Tramadol is the little brother of the opiate/opioid family. People don't talk about "Tramadol abuse" but it is very addictive and for tons of people it simply does not cut it for chronic pain"


"I got liletta in August, so it’s been about three months. The insertion was terrible, I nearly passed out and had to lay and regain my strength for about fifteen minutes afterwards. And the cramps after inserting and for the next couple of days were excruciating. After 2 days my cramps did stop and I felt okay. My periods have been spotty and irregular and last about 10 days, but this month I haven’t had one at all so far so I’m hoping they stop all together. Only symptom I have from it now is pretty painful cramps but it’s nothing a painkiller can’t relieve."


"Unfortunately I am a chronic relapser and have had many alcohol-withdrawal related seizures in the past.  Every time I have gone to the hospital they have given me Librium and it absolutely took away all my withdrawal symptoms. No more sweating, shaking, or vomiting. I have asked several doctors in the past to prescribe Librium to me but they have all said that it should be administered at a hospital where I could be monitored. This time around however the hospital sent me home after 7 hrs and gave me a script for 6-25mg.  I only took 5 and experienced no withdrawal symptoms what-so-ever and I was a liter of vodka/day drinker. Highly recommend Librium."


"Heartburn other than that tolerable after being on warfarin for 28 yrs, love the fact no constant visits for protime testing."


"I have been on Implanon for almost a year. I have gained over twenty pounds. I was always skinny before. I suffer now from depression. I have weeks of bleeding and no sex drive. "


"I have taken about 10 different antidepressants and always had to stop because of the severity of side effects. I have been on Trazodone for over 6 years and love it. It is the only medicine I have tried that doesn't give me horrible side effects. I had to keep upping the dosage in the beginning but soon found a dose that worked. The greatest benefit is that it helps me sleep. I have severe insomnia and my depression gets out of control after too many days of not sleeping and trazodone combined with Ambien is helpful. I have no other side effects from it. The difference in depressive symptoms is not dramatic but is helpful. I recommend it for people who have a rough time with side effects from other medicines and for those who can't fall asleep."


"This is the second time I've tried these for that awful cough I get with a common cold. These do nothing to help suppress it. Both times I've been prescribed it, I've ended up going back to the doctors for further help. This medication does nothing to help my cough at all. Wish it did..."


"So I've been using Victoza for 3 weeks now and I've lost about 3.5KG so far which is like a kilo a week roughly. Only experienced nausea on the second day and when I increased my dosage to 1.2mg. It also has helped suppress my appetite and stop me from eating out of boredom.
I was wondering if anyone has noticed a change in their mood. I feel lazy, sluggish, not motivated and just overall blah feeling (more than usual) my sister is the same too and she's also using victoza. I just find it hard to judge if it's the medication or just because I'm bored of being at home for the summer"


"I began taking Tamiflu at about the 72 hr mark. They say this is borderline that it can help at this stage. I felt so bad (headache, body aches, hot/cold, cough) that the doctor decided to try it. After 2 doses, fever broke, aches are gone and only slight coughing. Still a little fatigued. Wasn't sure this would work... But I believe it now."


"I suffered from panic attacks, anxiety and depression for years.  Since I started taking clonazepam, I haven't had a single attack! This drug has changed my life for the better.  I still have some anxiety and depression, but I'm taking something else for those.  My only wish is that I didn't wait so long to try the medication!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Cannot tolerate Warfarin but only got Pradaxa to cover two months previous and one month after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.  Had a bit of heartburn the first few days, but no side effects at all during the whole three months.  Now after three months post ablation, still getting some atrial fibrillation I think, but my doctor will not prescribe it, only the hospital consultant - who is also very reluctant.  "


"HORRIBLE medication. This is my first review for anything but I felt I had to say something. I was on oxycodone 10/325 for years for chronic pain and never had a problem with side effects. Since being on Oxaydo, from day one, I've felt sick. Stomach pain and burning, nausea, constipation, horrible headaches and bouts of dizziness not to mention I'm in more pain now than ever. I've barely left the house since I started this crap. While I think an abuse-deterrent is a great idea, something is not right with this medication."


"Positive:

Never got pregnant.

Spotting when first inserted but then no periods for ~2 years. After their return, shorter and lighter.

Don't have to remember to take it every day.

Negative:

Increased appetite. Difficult to lose weight again. 30lbs up from pre-birth control.

PMS before period. Before BC no noticeable change in mood.

Considerably lower sex drive. Libido and lubrication are gone."


"I had sexual side effects from Norvasc and it only moderately controlled my hypertension."


"I also completely agree with the first review.  I have tried 9 sleep-aid medicines, including high doses of Ambien and Ambien CR.  The medicines for sleep "insomnia" really do nothing for people with true insomnia.  Insomnia is a condition of the brain where your mind essentially does not stop working at night.  Whether you are worried about something, excited, or are just thinking about something you saw on T.V or read in a paper during the day, you will not fall asleep until 20 minutes before you have to awaken.  Sleep-aid medicines help people who just have poor sleep habits, like eating right before bed, etc.  Seroquel actually suppresses your brain wave function and helps you mentally "shut off."  No weight gain for me."


"I'm hoping my comments reaches out to those who like me gave up on medication time and time again as it affected their work outs. As a long distance runner and someone suffering from years of major PTSD and Anxiety, it was nearly impossible to have the stamina to run while on meds. I'd have to grin and bear the struggles of my PTSD without meds during my years of marathon training. Cymbalta and Latuda have been the perfect combination for me. Though Latuda is more for Bi-Polar, it has helped many people with PTSD, like myself. I have no weight gain and I have plenty of stamina to do my running. I'm so grateful to God and my doctor for finding the best program for me. If you're an athlete, help is out there."


"This stuff is working GREAT. I still have a long way to go but the results of one month of this applied daily has made a WORLD of difference."


"I have been on tri-sprintec off and on for the last 5 years or so.
PROS: Skin is clear, minimal weight gain (if any). My breasts swell but aren't sore.
CONS: Recently I have a headache for the first three days of each new pack. Over time I feel like it has given me more mood swings than it used to. Recently I have been feeling that has been making be feel depressed/sad. I just haven't felt myself. The breakthrough bleeding has also gotten worse. I had it for a week in the middle of my pill pack. I'm definitely bloated on this pill and retain water. It gets worse closer to my period.

No problems during first 4 years! My body must be changing...GYNO switched me to Microgestin 1/20. hopefully its a smooth transition!"


"I have tried 95% of the other ones. To me none obviously worked if I had to add 4-5 opiates with it to get 'some' relief. I was 'very' skeptical about trying another. Last month I ran out and life was being too busy to allow me to get to the pharmacy. I didn't think 1 or 2 doses would make a difference. None of the others would have. I was in the most excruciating pain I have had for years. I had forgotten what fibromyalgia could really feel like. As long as it continues to work in body I will not miss any doses."


"I'm 27 years old and been a cold sore sufferer ever since I can remember. I've Tried everything under the sun to keep my outbreaks under control but nothing seemed to work. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this medicine. I usually get about 4 cold sores a year and since I have been prescribed this medicine I literally have not had one! I take 2 pills when I feel it coming on and it stops it dead in its tracks. This medication is a miracle to me, as we all know how embarrassing having a cold sore is. It has saved me from many Friday nights spent in bed hiding my face while all my friends are out and having fun. 10 out of 10!"


"I suffer abdominal pain from 9 failed laparotomies to remove cysts and ovaries, im currently on 80mg Oxycontin 5 x a day, and Lyrica 2 x 450mg daily also for nerve damage this just takes the edge off it could be better but will try patch maybe all i need.....i suffer spinal probs as well neck as knees.......im a walking wounded so to speak lol....."


"Tolerance builds slower than Adderall and other instant release stimulants, but still builds fast.  Lasts a good 12-14 hours as well, just make sure you don't take more than you should because when your tolerance builds you're pretty much done with."


"I've been on this birth control for 3 months and have not gained a single pound. I've actually lost weight, which was surprising. I have not had any side effects other than mood swings for the first week I went on it and spotting the week before I got my period. I don't use condoms with this birth control and have sex every other day and still haven't gotten pregnant. I really can't say enough positive things about this birth control."


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


"I recently got Implanon put in and I could not love it more. I've never been on birth control before but this one is amazing. I never had bad periods before but I was just a moody person. Since getting Implanon I've been in a much better mood. It was painless and left hardly any bruising. It was free for me and I couldn't be happier. I haven't gained weight, which I was hoping I would. I'm thinking of when I get it taken out getting I'll have another put in. It is so nice not having to worry anymore. I suggest this birth control to everyone just give it a try! They say it looks scary getting put in but I simply turned my head, and it went by so fast. Implanon is my miracle drug, my sex drive has INCREASED and I'm happy."


"Background info: I am not sexually active and I was hoping that Sprintec would help control an unruly menstrual cycle. I am on my third pack month of Sprintec. Cannot. Stop. Bleeding. I have been spotting daily and occasionally bleeding for the last month... will be seeing a doctor soon!!!"


"Been on Paxil for about 13 years up to 40 mg a day. If I miss a pill or two start to get like electric shocks through my body, so make sure you take them daily.  Still have Xanax as back up. Sometimes wonder if the Paxil works good enough. Lately stress level is so high and life events are just driving me crazy."


"I first took Aviane 3 years ago for 1 year but was horrible at remembering to take it so I switched to the depo shot which made me bleed for 6 months straight so I switched back to Aviane for another year. I didn't realize before but it made my mood swings crazy! Which makes sense because when I first took it I remember having these huge emotional break downs literally crying my eyes out thinking I was insane but had no clue why, especially around period time. I've always been small & my weight was always the same(98lbs) but I lost 10lbs on this pill & its impossible to gain back, I feel disgusting. I just recently got off it and am starting a new bc, Sprintec. Fingers crossed this one works, my weight goes up, and my crazy calms down."


"I've had melasma since 2007. I notice a small brown patch on my right side of my cheek and didn't think nothing of it till someone else noticed that it was there and was spreading. I think I was in denial until I seen it on my forehead and then on my other cheek and also upper lip. I spent a lot of money, time, and a lot of disappoint on many products.  Until 2 weeks ago when my dermatologist suggested that I try tri-luma. I was at the point to where I was so discouraged and depressed I was at my point that I just didn't even want to try. I thought to myself.  I'll try one more item and only cuz I looked up the reviews on tri-luma and believe me it's not cheap. But I will admit it is out of this world amazing. And it really works."


"In my third recurrance of cluster headaches over a 10 year period, they have become far more intense and frequent, over a month with no let up. As many as four per day. Started on 50mg for four days. Fifth day no prednisone and headaches were back. Now I'm back on prednisone (60mg for 5 days and reduce by 10mg until off) and it is so far keeping them at bay."


"I have had this birth control for four months. No extra weight gain, in fact have lost weight. I got my period the first month but not since. The initial insertion was quick and easy. It poked me for like two days which was kind of annoying but after that it's been great. A little moody around the time that I would normally get my cycle but other than that no complaints. I will get it again when it's time to have it replaced."


"I was on Tylox for 4 yrs to control pain in my Left foot. had 3 op on foot in 7 yrs. Tried every pain killer out there, but my pain was killing me until a doctor gave me this. I took this drug 4 yrs, then went off it myself, I had to cut back until I did not need it no more. Now I got wounded in IRAQ due to a IED, same leg.  Now left knee and same foot. Back on Tylox, only medicine that works for me."


"I am on week 2. I love the fact that it really works, but I do not like the side effects. I have nausea everyday after I take my dose, also stomach pain. I have had some dreams but I can't remember most of them. My husband did tell me that he came home from work the other night and I was screaming at the foot of the bed, that something hurt? I Have no memory of this. Otherwise I have been thankful someone created this medicine."


"Very useful for treating severe to mild asthma! Highly recommended!"


"I was just recently prescribed Ambien for insomnia and pain medicines for the almost fatal gunshot wound that almost took my life almost 2 years ago. I used to be a law enforcement officer and now I can't work anymore because of the injury. I just bought a brand new Charger with a hemi and I took a Ambien before I took a shower and my family told me that I tried to get in my car and take off! So please be careful when you take them."


"Maybe TMI but sitting on the can writing this. Mixed up the powders as directed, added about half a packet of EmergenC powder, guzzled 8 fl oz every 15 minutes as directed. I don't know if I had a newer formulation or something but I had no problems with the taste - tasted like Gatorade or some electrolyte drink to me. Started working within 40 mins. And so here I sit..."


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


"My hubby was diagnosed with influenza A at Urgent Care on Saturday 2/4/17. Fever 100-102 started Friday 2/3 while at school (he teaches High School). The NP swabbed his nose and mine. He tested positive for flu; I tested negative. He got rx'ed Tamiflu 2x for 5 days, and I am supposed to take 1x for 10 days to prevent. He is on day 5. Fever broke Monday, body aches were worst on Saturday, came back for a spell Monday. Today he is just tired. I took it twice and felt all geeky and wired so I quit taking it and decided I'd take it if I felt like I was getting sick. Today (wed) I woke up feeling sick, congested, weak, tired, achy so I took the tamiflu. It makes me really nauseated kind of like if u get the stomach bug. Still seems effective tho"


"I have had horrible mood swings and have gained weight. I never know when or if I'm going to get my period and my poor husband has had to deal with my mood swings. I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen-Lo for 2 years before this and never had a problem. I'm changing back."


"My daughter had lice for almost a year. I used every OTC medicine numerous times and did every removal step but she still had them. My last option was cutting off all her hair like a boy. Used Natroba once and done. It is such a relief to us both (especially since we didn't have to cut off her hair). Only negative is the price."


"I got Implanon on August 6th 2013. Soon after I noticed non-stop bleeding, and mood swings. I cried very often, and also ended a relationship. I went through depression, anxiety and had serious headaches. I haven't quit bleeding for more than a week since I've been on it. I don't recommend it to anyone under 18."


"Took clomid on days 3-7. I am 38, with pcos and have a large reserve of eggs as I am not ovulating.
Am pregnant after first cycle.
Happy, but scared to death at the same time!"


"I have had the Nexplanon in for almost two years now. I'm about to go get it out. The only positive is no periods. Now for the negatives. Irritability, mood swings, depression, anxiety, uncontrollable anger, weight gain, acne, oily hair, and hair loss. I'm so unhappy all the time, and I thought it was something going on in my life, but I have nothing to stress about. I'm not pleasant to be around, and I used to be the happiest and most pleasant person I know. I'm getting it removed bc I feel like I'm destroying mine and my son's self esteem. Please don't get the Nexplanon unless you are trying to screw up your life.  I will never recommend this birth control to anyone."


"We started taking Belviq last year with my Dad and then my Mom. They lost a combined 66 pounds in four months each on this. We will push the exercise and try to lose 30 and 35 pounds respectively. No side effects except I decide what I eat and how much. Just a little dry mouth but feel great. Belviq for Bela Vita. to the good life."


"The "hot flashes" were really unbearable.  I was changing entire sets of clothes at least once a day.  I finally stopped using Savella.  I'm not sure if it helped my pain, but watch out for this side effect, documented in the Savella medication handout.  Good luck to all others who are using it; I really hope you do not experience this side effect."


"I've been on Zoloft for a few days and feels as I have a flat bearer over my head., as if my volume controls have been set on medium permanently. I definitely notice sexual dysfunction. It took me forever to climax. "


"My insurance now makes me take the generic, eletriptan with only 6 tablets a month. First time I have to use the generic I was sicker than I have ever been. It was like I was never on medicine. I vomited twice, lost all my equilibrium, couldn't eat. Had to call out of work. Now I have to be a guinea pig again to find something that works for my migraines. I get sinus, cluster and tension migraines.  Not looking forward to this."


"I take the medication once in a while and I get terrible headaches in the morning "


"I can't believe all these negative reviews! The only praises I hear are ones that sound like "stage actors" who are planted in to these websites and being paid to boast about the wonders of this medicine. This medication was created because Shire no longer held the patent of Adderall, so came up with a new drug for doctors to push so Shire could make more money again-  at the same time, all the generics of adderall that ones were so great, are now weak and inferior. I've never been so depressed and feel there is nothing to look forward to anymore after having adderall pulled out from underneath my feet. I just plug through my days just to get the day over with. My family suffers due to BIG PHARMA GREED!"


"I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about 3 months now, and my periods have been crazy! Prior to starting birthcontrol I wasn't taking anything, but since Metformin wasn't working to regulate my periods, I said I would start birthcontrol. I do have PCOS since the age of 15, now I am 26. For the past 3 months on this birth control I have had two periods a month. Its not break through bleeding. I didn't have any other side effects which is a good thing, but I just had to be bleeding for 10 days out of a month."


"Have been on Harvoni for 6 weeks only symptoms are some fatigue and sometime slight stomach upset. I have already cleared of the virus! But I must keep on taking Harvoni for 3 months. It seems like a miracle!"


"Just came from the doctor after "weening myself" to 75 mg of Effexor. Bad move, doctor put me back to 150mg. Doctor put me on Buspar with my Effexor. FANTASTIC. Haven't felt this good in years, but I felt so good I thought I could get off the Effexor. Lesson here, if you feel better, don't stop taking your medicines, it's working. Ask your doctor about taking Buspar with the Effexor. I have never felt better. No more racing thoughts, etc. Now, just waiting for Effexor to work it's way back into my system. As for coupling it with the Buspar - RIGHT ON THE MONEY."


"I believe this is the safest MRI contrast currently marketed.  It is a 4th generation contrast with a dual excretion pathway and as far as I know there are no know cases of NSF associated with this.  The few minor side effects I have seen are similar to placebo.  The key is the low dose of gadolinium and the 4th generation liver excretion which makes this safe in patients with renal compromise and still have normal liver function."


"At first it helped a little. Didn't help me fall to sleep but I woke up less. The effects were short lived 9 months later and I am up to 300 MG experiencing 2-6 hours of broken sleep per night."


"Started taking this with Lexapro - I would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back to sleep.  I hated that so I stopped taking it."


"I don't know how anyone can tolerate this drug. It made my anxiety ten times worse, gave me bad thoughts, and made me feel like a zombie for 2 weeks. I think experiencing this medication and then getting off it helped my anxiety much more than the medicine itself did."


"For about 25 or 30 years, I've had at least 2 bouts a year with bronchitis accompanied with a non-productive cough.  There was no way I could sleep; I could only lay there and cough on schedule about every 30 seconds to a minute.

Then I got Hydromet.  Best cough suppressant ever.  Just don't sip your dosage straight from the bottle, use a teaspoon, because you'll just overdose and possibly get the most frightening nightmares you'll ever experience.  Believe me, it was very vivid and frightening dreams; and they would recur if you try to sleep again.

After using the correct dosage there were no problems.

Only my luck ran out when my long time doctor wouldn't prescribe anymore.  I'm trying to add another doctor that will prescribe it."


"I've been on Paxil for  approximately 15 years now, and I absolutely believe it has saved my life.  After only about 2 weeks, I had the first "good day" I could ever remember having.  Until taking Paxil, I never realized that people could actually be genuinely happy.  There have been a few times during the first 5 years or so when I tried to stop cold turkey.  The side effects were really awful and I almost immediately went back into severe depression.  I've since just accepted that I'll be on medicines the rest of my life. Small price to pay for the benefits.  However, I think I am in the minority in that I didn't experience any particular side effects while on Paxil; only when trying to stop."


"First and foremost I want to let you all know, reading things on the internet, WILL NOT help, nor really be a good indicator of your personal reaction to any drug. There are many negative reviews here for Bactrim, and I'm on day 3 of a 10 day dose for a staph infection (cellulitis) on, of all places the right side of my face/right ear (its wonderful!). Here's my experience:

Side Effects: Fatigue, headaches (though not consistent). I have a weaker stomach, and its doing just fine with my probiotic (get one with 30billion strands) and drinking lots of water/eating while taking it.

The infection is clearing up. Day 3 was when I really noticed.

Don't be anxious when taking this, its definitely a mind over matter thing sometimes too."


"I've recently started taking Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily for chronic constipation. I wasn't having any luck with OTC  remedies.  It took me 3 days to finally start have things move.  I did experience slight nausea after taking each dose.  Tolerable though. Hopefully as the next few days come and go things move along much better."


"After reading the reviews a month ago I decided to wait before taking this drug. I used natural supplements to boost my Seratonin level, I think that was working. I still was feeling depressed though, mostly due to family and marital problems, fix those issue and everything else would fall into place, I have been praying for that. So I decided to take this citalopram 10mg. that my Dr. felt I needed, as he said I'm depressed. Which I am.
I took it for four  days and feel like a zombie, very tired, confused, not thinking clearly, weak, and can't sleep. I know it is supposed to take a few weeks, but no thank you. Most people who have reported here have been on one or more depression drugs on and off for a longtime.. never been on any drugs,"


"I have been on this birth control for almost 3 years and it hasn't given me any problems.  I get my period once a year every February and that is so awesome! I don't have a side effects.and doesn't mess with my emotions or weight.  I have seen some of the reviews and all I can say is everyones body is different and adjusts to medicine differently."


"I normally take narcotic pain pills.  I have, usually moderate, pain in my joints and especially in my back.  I decided to try the Gabapentin. It did really help for the pain, and I also had a very relaxed feeling.  A couple of things I did not like was:
1) I was very clumsy and disoriented.  I couldn't walk right and almost fell over several times.
2)  I laid down to watch a movie, since I was stumbling around my house, and I ended up passing out for hours... from about 3 to almost 7 today.

Now the "sleep aid" isn't necessarily a bad thing, but maybe this medication is best only taken at night for some people, including myself."


"Zofran is a miracle drug! I've had this medication for several years on an as-needed basis. With my IBS and anxiety, I tend to get nauseous easily. Whatever the cause to my nausea may be, Zofran works every single time. Now that its dissolvable it makes it so much easier to take. The relief happens within 20-30 minutes and usually 1 tablet is all I need. I do experience 2 side effects each and every time: a painful headache after the drug wears off (6-8 hours after taken) and constipation (practically nonexistent bowel movements) for 2-3 days. For the headache, OTC migraine meds work best. The constipation isn't bothersome enough to me to treat."


"Pro: little to no period (I didn't have one at all after month four), no weight gain (I am very active though), no mood swings.
Con: Acne, headaches (not migraines), little to no sex drive. The sex drive issue is why I'm trying a different birth control. I love my husband and want to enjoy married life. "


"I tried several synthetic medicines for hypothyroid to no avail, then a doctor recommended Armour. It has proved to be the best thing - getting me close to my 'normal' self with little to no side effects."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for 3 weeks. First 2 weeks I had a few side effects. Groggy, kind of spacey, nausea, weight loss because I wasn't hungry. I did notice some change in my mood. I was less anxious and less depressed but wasn't the miracle that took effect immediately like I had read in some reviews. Did read a review that was helpful it said to stick it out for the first 4 weeks of side effects and you'll be happy with the results, so I am. The side effects have worn off for me about the end week 2. There is one unexpected side effect- IRRITABILITY, I'd say comparable to PMS. Little mishaps can get my blood boiling, like spilling something and its hard to cool down. Never was like that before but seems to be subsiding as well. So we'll see!"


"Has helped me from the day I first took a sample pack from my Doctor! It's changed my life for the better,no worries about having to know where a restroom is,can be out and about like I use to be. Thank you"


"Quit in a month, side effects include strange dream every night and massive headache. Cut down to 1 pill a day due to massive headache after 3 week. Stop taking the pill, and stop smoking on the same day."


"I had Hep-C geno type 3a, took Daklinza 60mg per day and Sovaldi 400mg per day together and after 27 days of 27 tablets each, I had blood work and was cleared of Hep-C, I'm finishing it all just in-case of the 12 week program of 3 scripts of 28 pills each. I had a few headaches and itchy skin and at first felt weak when I took them in the morning so I changed it to the evening and everything was fine. I was approved to take Benadryl, 2 in the morning and 2 at night and it helped the itching, could not take any pain medicine for the headaches. My health insurance covered all but my one time deductible of $6000 and after that I paid nothing. My nurse found a company to pay my deductible."


"Works well to stop my anxiety.  I can participate in life again and I am doing things that I used to do.   Started with 75 mg started to become more effective at 150 mg.  Some side effects but they are getting better with time."


"I decided at 2:30 a.m. to use the Monistat 3 day cream. Now I'm tossing and turning because I cannot go back to sleep. OMG it burns and my insides are twitching!!! This better be worth it! (I see someone mentioned that means that it's working)"


"I don't have schizophrenia I am undiagnosed. I was having issues with family and certain things in my life. Taking this meds made me feel worse with most of my symptoms. I had moments where I felt over tranquillized and trouble communicating how I really felt. I know I felt better before the medication. Now that I am off of it my list of negative side effects is quite large. I wouldn't reccomend this medication to anyone. Especially if you have an endless diagnosis in the first place. Be careful believing what your Drs say. They get all of their recommendations from pharmaceutical companies. Once I was off of this medication Drs. Refuse to listen to me. They just recommend I take it again or take other drugs. They refuse to admit their mistakes. They refuse to acknowledge anything."


"I've been prescribed Medrol Dosepak on two occasions over the last 10 years.  Each time I experienced relief from the pain and swelling within a few days.  I did not experience any side effects."


"I have been on Tenuate for three months and along with a healthy low carb diet, I have lost 22 pounds. I asked the Doctor for a prescription with little to no side effects. This medication has succeeded. "


"My doctor recommended this to me since I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo before and after having a child it no longer worked as well for me and began to cause cystic acne on my chin. She said Tri Sprintec is the generic for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and works similarly to your natural body's hormone process. Since I started it each month my skin has gotten clearer and the PMS mood swings before my period are getting better. I was definitely more moody after I started taking this birth control. The biggest thing I've noticed is lack of sexual drive but my skins clear, little weight gain, and no hair loss. So I'm sticking with it. "


"It's been a love, hate relationship with Latuda for me. After 2 months of using it, I noticed a significant change in my depression, which was fantastic. But, I experience SEVERE nausea even when I eat enough food. I have even thrown up about 6 or 7 times within my 7 months of taking it. Which is unpleasant to say the least. The nausea usually sets in about 30-45 minutes after taking and lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour."


"Well like all women are different, I have had this implant for about 6 months now, I used to be a very happy go lucky girl, I'm 21 btw; well this implant is making me very irrational and emotional, aside from this I had very very thick hair prior to the insertion.  I now have experienced a lot of hairloss due to this. Although I have not been pregnant I have had very different body odor my husband says it is not the same as it used to I'm a very clean person! Aside from not getting pregnant which is the only plus to this contraception contraption I have had menstrual cycles that last between two months on end. Very annoying. Also making sexual encounters rather drier, I used to be niagra falls now I'm death valley... i cannot wait to remove it"


"Geodon is really an effective medicine for Schizoaffective Disorder. One of the most challenging mental disorders to identify accurately and treat appropriately is schizoaffective disorder. This condition involves both psychotic symptoms and conspicuous, long-enduring, severe symptoms of mood disorder.
"


"Reading the comments on this forum I have come to a conclusion that a lot of people do not give this drug time to work! It's an older drug than many on the market and has come very much the choice of doctors in the U.K. Again as it's range of doses is long example 25mg to 200 mg so it's not a massive heavy drug, and to many people read all the negative comments on forums regarding not just sertilne but other ADs, as my doctor has said many times there is no true happy pill in the world."


"Safest, cheapest, anti histamine (it's main function) works very well. It's a good medication for motion sickness. I use injectables and tabs. Seek advice before using any medication."


"I have severe plaque psoriasis and in just 3 months it is like night and day with just a trace of it left. it is not a shot just 2 pills a day. I fell 99 better at this time. Much clearer then I was with Embrel. I gave it a 9 only because there is always something they will improve on but I am very happy with it."


"I have been taking Remicade for several years and I love it!  I have not had any side effects.  I instantly feel better."


"I've had the shot for about 3 months and I've had a great experience. My acne was minimal, mood swings were practically unchanged, and I actually lost weight. It's my first shot, so I did have some spotting, but that was it. I would definitely recommend it."


"Imuran seemed to help for a few months but after prolonged use it weakened my immune system too much. I started getting colds about every three weeks. Which made me feel run down and tired more so than just having colitis alone, but it did at least calm my symptoms for a while."


"Had been constipated for the past 5 days and was tired of feeling like crap (no pun intended), so I decided to give this a try. I'll do a little more research next time, but I'm quite happy to say that it worked. Took 2 pills at 12:15pm, and had bowel movements at 4:15, 5;15, and 6:15, like clockwork. I believe what you do before and after you take the pills definitely affects how you will feel when it hits you. I had veggies, a fiber bar, and an energy drink for breakfast, two fiber bars for lunch, and drank a liter of water when I got home. If your body isn't ready, then you can expect to feel terrible because your digestive track has nothing else to pull from. I'm a 5'4", 125 lb woman, and didn't have any horrendous side effects."


"I've been on this for a week now I've been on 20 different meds that hasn't worked I had given up hope  but this one really works for me I also take 100 mgs of tofranil and 400 wellbutrin"


"I'm 30 and non-smoking. I took Loestrin for about 6 months, primarily for birth control. I didn't notice anything unusual for the first two months on this pill. The third month I began having violent mood swings and emotional breakdowns that were not triggered from outside issues. My period was almost non-existent; I would bleed when expected for about 2 days. Before Loestrin I had horrible cramps and while on Loestrin I had mild cramps. I regularly worked out and lost a lot of weight but I would BLOAT right around the week before my period and my weight would go up about 5 lbs. I lost my insurance, so along with financial issues as well as the mood swings, I stopped taking it. Breakouts were also an issue on my face and back."


"I  had a very bad cold to the point of settling in my chest. I took Delsym 12 hour to help. I couldn't believe it really worked to keep my cough at bay, but I started to have severe side effects from it. I had dizziness like I was going to blackout, heart palpitations, SOB (shortness of breath), diarrhea and vomiting at the same time (sitting on toilet and holding a bucket at the same time wanting to pass out from the dehydration). Never again, I'll stick with Creomulsion."


"I just had Skyla inserted 3 hours ago. Worst cramps of my life. Child birth was easier. Cramps have subsided probably due to 4 midol and 2 aleve. Hoping they subside more before i go to work tonight. Also hoping I don't gain weight or get acne. We shall see. Should also mention I am 25 with a 3 year old son."


"About 11 months ago I received the single dose Monovisc. It was painful to receive the shot and the pressure was great as it was injected. It took about 3 weeks for me to feel better. Before the shot I had a high level of constant pain from bone-on-bone on the outer edge of my knee. A pocket of fluid had formed on the outside for weeks and I had been waking up with knee pain during the night for quite some time. This greatly improved my knee pain. It didn't take me to 0 pain but definitely reduced it.
About 5 weeks ago, I felt the pain creeping up, the fluid forming and began to wake up during the night on occasion. I called the doctor and scheduled the next one, which I'll get in a few days.
Better than pain or surgery!"


"Single administration of Vortioxetine was only partially useful for me. Not satisfactory. I would rate it 50 out of 100. Could keep my office job, but my hypersomnia with excessive daytime sleepiness and non-24 hours sleep wake problem still disturbing and “painful”, made me want to quit the job and rest at home.
Then a doctor started to add venlafaxine (and later on desvenlafaxine) and Imipramine 10mg, starting from 2016 August. There was signifcant and noticable improvement as dosage increase. My current dosage is : Vortioxetine 20mg + Venlafaxine 112.5mg + Desvenlafaxine 50mg + Imipramine 10mg + melatonin 3mg (This dosage was reached on 2017 May 6, and today is 2017 Aug 11)
I would rate this combination 75 out of 100."


"I have been diagnosed with MS since April '09. I was first given Copaxone but that medication failed for me. My Doctor then decided to put me on Rebif and there was only time that I had forgotten to take Aspirin before taking the shot and that time I felt really bad the next day... other than that one time, the only other problem that I dislike about taking Rebif is the concept of giving myself a shot but the good part about Rebif is that it has kept me in remission for roughly a year now.

"


"I suffer from an acute panic disorder which causes me depression. Paxil is a great drug along with my Xanax. I take 30mg a day of Paxil in the morning and 0.5mg 3 times a day of my Xanax. Without Paxil I would have the fear all the time even if I take the Xanax. This drug has saved my life, as most of us know that having a panic disorder with depression it feels like you are crazy yet we are not. I would recommend this drug to anyone who suffers both depression and panic attacks. I also have agoraphobia which means I can not leave my house. Sometimes of course I have to yet someone is always with me. It has been 2 years now that I have not gone out on my own, because of my fears. I highly recommend Paxil to anyone. It works great for me."


"For a long time I have believed that I was bipolar but never took medicine for it. A couple years ago I started taking gabapentin for a herniated disk. I immediately noticed a feel good feeling. That is now the main reason I continue to take it.

People are warned to not stop taking this abruptly..THEY MEAN IT! I recently had surgery to remove my fibroids and I stopped taking gabapentin due to all the other medicines I was having to take. Shortly after stopping abruptly my husband said something to me I didn't like that hurt my feelings and I THREW A PLATE OF FOOD AT HIM! I have never in my life done this. Afterwards I found out that anxiety is also a symptom of abruptly stopping meds. Make sure to wean off slowly."


"I have been using Lasix in combination with Hydrochlorothiazide for 6 months for pitting edema/hypertension and it's effects seem to have worn off. I started on 20mg once a day for 2 months then up to 40mg once a day for the last 4 months. Now my legs are back to swelling as much as if I were taking nothing. My blood pressure is good though. Side effects, headaches."


"Brilliant. A life saver for anxiety. No side effects.  Better than antidepressants any day."


"It helps"


"I had brain surgery in December 1996. A tumor was found in the middle of my brain. I had been having blackouts for 16 years before they could find it.  I had been on Dilantan before the surgery. It worked but the doctor said Keppra was much better so I was put on Keppra after the operation and haven't had a black out since."


"The triphasal birth-control pills have been a lifesaver for me to help control my bipolar disorder for over 20 years   Off them, I have horrible mood swings and other symptoms like insomnia around ovulation and before my period.  Are used to take tri-Levelin until they discontinued the brand name version.  My gynecologist put me on this and within a few days I noticed a big difference.  With the extra progesterone,  I don't get such horrible highs and lows like a roller coaster."


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"My insurance wouldn't cover this medication but it's not very expensive,... And it works wonders. Worth it for sure!"


"I have been taking 5mg Valium for the better part of 25 years. I was a huge drinker with a problem so I gave up the booze 12 years ago. However I have had major problems sleeping so I take a valium at night. Doctors hate given me Valium and it really blows me out as I don't drink and don't take illegal Drugs [ I did take heroin in the late 80s and some speed .. ].  I Haven't had drugs like that since 1980. I went two years without Valium and didn't bother me at all. I don't care what they say I will take valium until I die and I love the sleep I have. I have never taken one during the day because I don't wish to go to sleep or feel that way.."


"I've been on this medication since I was 9 I'm 21 now. I've always had trouble in school and it has helped me a lot to concentrate but without it I can't focus at all. I became too dependent on it so now that I am in college I cannot study or find any kind of motivation to stay focused if I'm not on it. It wouldn't be a bad thing if it didn't make me depressed. Recently in this past year I've been taking it almost every day again and have been feeling sad for no reason, always thinking negative and very irritable until I put two and two together. Now trying to get off once I am done with school next month for good."


"I have had RA for 23 years and had been on plaquenil and methotrexate for 10 years and still had swelling and joint pain.  I started Enbrel in September 2004 and after two injections I felt like a brand new person.  No more stiff hands in the morning..I can walk on ceramic floor without shoes (although I'm not supposed to), and it doesn't hurt!  Thank goodness for Enbrel, it has changed my quality of life tremendously."


"I am 19 years old and because of how bad my cramps used to be I have been on birth control since I was 15. I was recently on sprintec and because of how high the dose was I started taking minastrin 24 fe.. I first read the reviews which I didn't like so much, but decided to try it anyway... I started this pill and immediately my boobs got about a size bigger( which I didn't need), I have been bloated for weeks and my hair has been literally falling out. I am not one who goes by reviews because everyone's body is different, but honestly this pill has been a nightmare, and I would never recommend this to anyone"


"I take this for my back and it helps me so much. I feel no pain at all. I get mild mood changes but nothing severe."


"I've only been taking it since March 10 2012. I watch 4 kids and 1 of them is very hyper so far it has helped me deal with that child."


"1 pill twice a day. Voltaren effective until it caused server swelling of my entire legs and hands. The increased edema put pressure on my bursa in both hips and on the nerves leaving my groin and going into my legs. All of this pressure caused electrical shocks in my thighs. I took a diurectic but it didn't remove the fluid from my thighs."


"I started taking xanax when I was fifteen. I only take them when I have an anxiety attack and they are the only thing that helps. I am now 23 and still only take them as needed. They work within a short amount of time & soothe all symptoms even my muscle spasms."


"My son has been on this for 8 years and it is a huge help. Takes 1st thing in morning and lasts all day. No problem eating dinner and has kept a healthy weight. With the coupon we pay zero out of pocket...."


"I have just completed my Suboxone treatment, and after 9 days off them. I am starting to feel normal. Suboxone saved my life."


"I went onto Yasmin after being on the Depo injection for a few years, which made my mild acne more like moderate-severe. The Yasmin gradually cleared my skin completely and I'm so happy with the results (I've been on it for 3-4 years now). The only thing is, that I'm also using it as BC and I think over the last few years it has given me bad mood swings, some depression and massively decreased my libido, which have all affected my relationship. I'm now looking into the Mirena IUS as my Dr is worried about me staying on Yasmin as my family has a history of breast cancer- but I'm so worried progesterone only options will make my acne come back. I found Yasmin perfect for acne treatment, but it had some unexpected negatives for me personally."


"I did physical therapy, icing, resting, every technique to try to stop the pain in my knee. I have osteoarthritis as well. This medication was the only thing that worked and stopped the pain in my knee.  I am so happy my doctor prescribed this drug for me."


"I was on the pill (last one was Viorele) for about 10 years before I got my Nexplanon in December of 2014. There was a lot of bruising at the site where it was inserted, but I bruise like a peach so not surprising. It is now June 2015 and I have not had a period yet! No PMS other than some acne flare-ups every few weeks. There has been considerable weight gain (about 25 lbs) since then, but I've started eating better and exercising, which I should have been doing anyway. It was absolutely free, covered 100% by my insurance. I have 0 complaints!"


"The whole thing is absolutely worthless. What people don't share is how to become pregnant after that.  Seems to be a serious problem.  I won't even mention this madness with spotting, constant cramps and bleeding for 2 weeks. Also the pain that comes with the procedure. I've had a PID( get educated on it before waving it) right  2 months  after insert. I was aware But refused to believe. Fallopian tube inflammatory as a result. Got that thing out 4 years ago. Still no kids. A woman that advised me Mirena ended up with endometriosis that appeared due to IUD after being taken out. They've been trying to have kids for years. She is officially infertile now. Everything worked out perfect though for my best friend until they decided on a baby. I regret it"


"Took only once and it made me sick to my stomach with mild hallucinations.  Haven't used it for a year and switched to Ultram, but was considering giving it a second try. "


"I got it when I was 21-22 years old. I was excited about it at first because you don't get periods and it's every 3 months. However I did get spotting in between, which was expected. The worst part about it was the effect it had on my mood swings. I got severely depressed and had high anxiety and would lash out a lot. I was also hungry all the time and probably gained 5lbs at most. It really affected my performance in school and my close relationships."


"I have used this product for years and when I have flare ups it works wonderfully for me"

"I had Implanon inserted in April of 2011 after previously taking Levora birth control. The Levora made me irritable, overly emotional, snippy and even made me crave junk food. I felt like I was PMSing non-stop. After some thorough research, I quit the Levora and decided to have the Implanon inserted. The most painful part was the Lidocaine shot while the actual insertion was pain free. I had some bruising and tenderness for about a week after but that was about it. I started my period the day after insertion, but it only lasted for three days. I've had no moodiness, cravings or weight gain since having the Implanon inserted. For me, this is the best birth control possible."


"Drug is absolutely amazing and SAVED my life. Literally (clinical depression). I sleep like a rock every night, and this drug improved my life in everyway. The only side effect I've found is it's actually given me OCD issues that I never had before."


"I have really bad flight anxiety but wanted to travel to a family reunion so my Dr. prescribed Lorazepam. I only took 1/2 of a 1mg pill an hour before my flight and I was completely calm for the entire 4 hr flight. I thought it might make me sleepy but I was awake and alert and talked with my family member the entire flight. It was a life saver."


"Had nausea from chemo and radiation and was given Zofran. Zofran did nothing to curb the nausea. I was just recently changed over to Compazine and the nausea is gone! I've not experienced any side effects whatsoever."


"I took it for 3 months straight. During the 1st month, my hot flashes reduced, by month 3, it seemed like it wasn't helping with the hot flashes much, but I noticed a positive side effect. My overall outlook on life was so much better. Little things that once got on my nerves, slid off my back like a ducks. I asked for something different (grass is greener syndrome) because I wanted more.More hot flash reduction, less anxiety. When I stopped I realized I'd made a terrible mistake. Is been 2 weeks and I'm ready to kill somebody.Moody? Yes? Irritable? Yes.  Sweating profusely? Yes .I'm getting back on it today! !!!!"


"My eyes were the problem as they constantly itched due to hay fever. When I take cetirizine they stop - works a treat."


"I don't have a headache or dry mouth, but I am FREEZING cold!  I am usually just the opposite, my usual 70 degree thermostat setting is now on 75 and I'm still so cold.  Everyone else is complaining they are hot, so I know it is just me! Weird.... I gave it a 10, because I am not hungry at all, and since it is over 90 degrees (outside), being cold is a good thing ;-)  Certainly better than a headache or dry mouth."


"The side effects. Today I went to the Dr with symptoms of cloudy urine and frequent urination. I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and I was prescribed Macrobid, 2x po daily for 5 days. I've taken this medication before for a UTI and I was fine, but for some reason, I took this pill 2 hours ago and already I feel the sensation to gag every time a breathe in. This kind of nausea feels detestable. I'm so uncomfortable. I also got severe back pain and tight chest out of nowhere. I can't believe this."


"In 2011 a doctor prescribed this medication for my 82 year ol mother for a severe UTI... given in lieu of hospitalization. Within an hour of the first dose she became very ill, nauseated and vomiting. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital where her heart stopped.  During the next two days on life support her systems began to fail.  She died the morning of the second day.   Doctors would not contribute her sudden illness and death to the medication, but there is no other explanation.  We discovered later that this drug is not recommended for older people.  I can only say that a healthy woman died after taking one dose.  Her cause of death was listed as heart failure & renal failure, but no cause for either.  Ask for an alternative treat"


"Have had intractable migraines for 38 yrs-just had 31 injections for migraine a month ago.  Within 3 days I began having muscle spasms in neck/shoulders 24/7.  Went back to neurologist and he gave me Lidoderm Patches (12 hrs on 12 hrs off).  They help somewhat but the adhesive breaks out my skin.  I chose to wear them during the day so I can function at work.  My head feels so heavy that my neck muscles don't feel that they can support it so I have to lie down in my car at work every few hours to relieve pressure.  Am supposed to have a 2nd round of injections in 2 months but have decided the side effects are worse than my 3-4 migraines wk.  At least I had a few days without any pain before.  "


"Great for nerve pain in my knees. Gapapentin is the best. But sleeping at night is terrible them I take a 300 mg of that med and I crash. All day then the cycle starts all over up all night really sleepy all day I am at the end I even take benadryl  and xanax at night still stay up."


"Parnate is a great medicine. It will mess with your sleep cycle and cause severe insomnia but other than that it's great. It improves mood, lowers anxiety (not perfectly but enough), improves sex drive, it gives you energy and in my case I welcomed slight weight loss. I've taken up to 40mg day. It's very important to take Parnate either in the morning or at 2pm. If taken in morning may cause drowsiness at ~2pm. TAKE FOOD WARNINGS SERIOUSLY. If I eat the wrong food my blood pressure definitely increases."


"I started taking celexa over a year ago for anxiety and stress. I had some mild side effects the first week, but it has been great since then. I started on 10mg and switched to 20mg after a month and have been at that prescription since. It probably took at least a month before I started noticing a difference. I take it at night and don't have any troubles sleeping or any other side effects. This medicine has completely changed my perspective. I'm much more calm and just happier all around. I used to be very high strung and easily stressed, but not anymore! Highly recommend!"


"I went to the ER with a terrible migraine. No warning of side effects, and while I was anticipating relief from the migraine the complete opposite and possibly even worse happened..It started with a little fidgeting and not being able to get comfortable in the hospital bed, and then I went from 0 to 60 as far as a freak out. I have never felt like that before my life and it was quite possibly the worst feeling ever. I was alone in the hospital because my husband had to be home with the kids and it was so frightening. I wanted to crawl out of my skin,my heart was racing and I was clawing at my face,and I had uncontrollable full body movements.I wanted it to stop and all I kept asking for was help and for someone to make it stop. NEVER AGAIN!"


"I have taken topiramate since June 23, 2015 for weight lose and to help with my type 2 diabetes, I have now lost 25 lbs as of Oct 15 I have also joined Weight Watchers in August because I found that the pills alone were not a miracle pill they do help with not having the carb cravings but you do need to eat well to lose weight. I currently take 50mg in the morning and 50mg at dinner time and do not see any side affects.  At first I did have the tingling in the hands and feet but after a few weeks that went away. I plan on staying on it and staying with the weight watchers and hopefully making my goal weight for the first time I am 50 years old and have been overweight since age 20"


"Very good medication for panic attacks and severe anxiety. Works fast."


"I have suffered migraines since I was in grade school (I'm now 45). My headaches used to come on in the late afternoon and put me in bed for the rest of the day but I would wake up next morning feeling ok. Now my headaches come on about 3-4 in the morning and last 2 days of non stop vomiting and pain. The doctor put me on Topamax daily but the side effects keep causing me to overheat in the Texas weather. The doctor just put me on sumatriptan 100mg and I just had an attack 2 days ago. I took 1 pill and it did nothing. 3 hours later I took a second dose and I still ended up in bed for 14 hours. "


"I've had 3 series of Euflexxa with good relief from bone on bone pain as long as I don't overdo. They make it easier to walk and reduce general pain and stiffness. They also help significulty with preventing my knee from going into a sublux position.

The injections themselves aren't painful, just uncomfortable. My doctor uses a topical anesthetic and is very gentle. Any pain is brief. I have some very minimal bleeding and swelling at the injection site and take it easy afterward.

I'm so grateful for Euflexxa. I received injections of Synvisc (similar but with actual rooster comb as opposed to a synthetic) before. They worked great and I needed only 1 shot, not 3, but like many, I had a severe painful reaction with repeat injections."


"My experience with this medication has been absolutely horrible!! I have been taking it for 2 months, I have severe bloating, gas, and bad diarrhea. Can't even leave my home. My doctor told me to cut back to one pill every other day, and its like it has completely stopped working I have bad pain and nothing coming out! I have had ins-c for 14 years, and I just wish they could come up with something that works and that's not so harsh on your bowels! It's absolutely terrible!!!"


"I started Contrave on December 16 weighing 274. I am 5'5".  I have done every diet out there, with varying degrees of success. As of this morning, I have lost 32 pounds. My only side affects were queasiness for the first day and dry mouth which I don't mind because it reminds me to drink water. Within a day or two, I felt better than I had in years. I could actually move easier and without as much stiffness. I am not sure that the medicine is as effective now as in the beginning, but now I am in a routine of what to eat, how much, and how much to exercise. If I exercise 4 days/wk (stationary bike for 45 minutes/11 miles) and eat right I lose about 3 pounds per week. I still eat out occasionally, but just eat less. Very happy."


"Ok I am x ems/fire/law enforcement person .I am medically retired from this profession. I drive a commercial vehicle for a living now. I am also a heart patient/diabetic type 2. I get to drive all over the US and Canada. I have read numerous statements that  it doesn't work or does work. No it may not work for all. I started Monday taking this. It has slowed my hacking down quite a bit. I have not had any side effects of any yet. I'm about to have triple bypass done. I have tried over counter I found only one bottle of med I could legally use that worked. This seems to work for me at this. I will comment at least twice more  . I will use it up to my surgery date and a comment to all to how good it was or bad. Everyone is different meds."


"I developed an illness that evolved in stages.  A few stages in I lost the ability to sleep naturally.  This was about eleven years ago.   A few years went by trying every sleep med with utter failure.  Ambien, Lunesta, benzodiazepines, trazadone, most atypical antipsychotics.  Eventually a new lifestyle evolved where I would be up for near three days straight then sleep for a full day, repeat.  What finally put me to sleep was a little risperidone and a megadose of seroquel.  Risperdal "allowed" me to fall asleep, while max dose of seroquel "KEPT ME in sleeping state "long enough" and "deep enough."  3am now, tried 10mg of zyprexa an hour ago alone, its barely affecting me. Remeron with halved seroquel/risperdal, put me down great."


"Conquers the headache in about 2 hours and keeps it away for a day.  Slower to work than Imitrex but lasts longer for me."


"This drug is so bizarre. I'm on my 3rd week. I wanted to relapse because I was going to have some beer and whiskey. Bought a pack of American Spirits and planned on smoking. Drank about 4 beers and some  Bourbon. Smoked one. It was gross. Later I smoked another and only got half way through the cigarette. Just tried again, 4 hours after the fist beer and after two tokes on the cigarette the smoke disgusted me. I hadn't had a cigarette for 6 days. There's no reward. no nicotine benefit. Whatever this drug does, it does well. I read about the side effects and other than remembering my dreams, I've had nothing bad. This is a very interesting 3 weeks."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've just finished my first pack of Safyral and have no complaints. My skin is noticeably clearer, it has helped to reduce cramping and a heavy flow. I've had only one strange craving and it's for sour foods (pickles especially). No bad moods in fact I've been in a great mood since I've been on it. I've pretty much have experience all pros since taking it."


"I had surgery on a Thursday and was warned that the pain pills make you constipated, so I already had some Dulcolax pink pills in my cabinet I hadn't used yet so figured they would work. Surgery was Thursday, and by Monday after I still hadn't had a bowel movement, so I figured I would take the maximum daily dose - 3 pills - and sleep on it. Woke up, feeling no different than I had since the surgery. Took 3 more with my morning meds. At 7 pm, had a normal bowel movement and felt better. 20 min later though, I suffered the worst cramps and pain I've ever felt. I LITERALLY lost 3 pounds from shitting. Oh, then I woke up the next morning and had shit the bed - first time ever; hopefully last. It's now been 24 hours of horrific pain and cramps."


"It started to clear up my acne, but then made me get really dry under eye circles. And then I had a reaction to it and I would wake up every morning with swollen eyes."


"Tikosyn was started in December of 2009 in a hospital setting. At this time two years later I have not been hospitalized for a atrial fibrillation. It has worked well with no side effects. The only downside is remembering to take it at the right time twice a day."


"This is my second day on Suboxone and IT IS A MIRACLE DRUG!  I was taking 2 x 80 mg Oxycontin a day and about 10-15 Vicodins a day.   My doctor said that all I needed to do was go home, go to bed and when I woke up I could take the Suboxone in 8 hours.  I woke up took the Suboxone and within about 10 minutes my cravings for any other pills were completely gone.  I wish I would have started this 2 years ago when my addiction became out of hand.  There is NO need to drive around looking for your next fix anymore, get on Suboxone and get your life back like I did!"


"I've been on Chateal for about 4 months now and I love it. No scares, I know when my period is coming like clock work. It's doing it's job, all I have to do is mine and take it every day at the same time. I'd recommend it."


"I took Exlax yesterday morning and a few hours later screaming with pain.. I've puked and puked from the pain in my belly.will never use again and it's been 36 hours and still no bowl movement just horrible pain."


"Phenergan (promethazine) is very effective for nausea and vomiting. It is generally not used for urticaria or respiratory allergies. It is very strong and will make you drowsy. I recommend taking it when you are going to lay low for a while. We don't give it IV any more because we had some serious tissue damage reported when it infiltrated under the skin. I am not sure that we still give it IV. Lately, it is either given as a suppository or as a pill."


"I LOVE Depo! Been on it for about 2 1/2 years, only side effects are some weight gain (5-10 pounds) and minor cramping once a month maybe. I used to have TERRIBLE periods, ever since my first shot I haven't had a single period or spotting. It's nice only having to go in once every 3 months. Definitely 10/10!"


"I'm 31 years old, no children ever and recently got the skyla.

Prior to getting skyla inserted, I came on  here to read the reviews and wish I didn't because it definitely scared me, but thankfully, my obgyn was great and explained everything to me. Not to mention, she numbed me prior to inserting the skyla and informed me when I would feel the most amount of pressure which helped A LOT!

There was some mild cramps during the first month but since the month has passed, I've been feeling great - no nausea and no weight gain. There's some mild cramping, which I never had before but no periods. So for me, it's working out great and realized only your body can tell you if it's good or not- and not by others experience."


"I am 40 years old and my girlfriend is 24. I had no problems getting an erection but had difficulty keeping it. With this medicine I was able to keep an erection for much longer. Most times for an hour or more. And a couple times even lasted over two hours. Me and my girlfriend have been more then satisfied."


"Miracle over the counter drugs for migraines. It makes me wonder why I haven't heard about this drug until I saw the commercial on TV lol/

Don't drink coffee with this though, it made me very shaky--to the point where my latte was visibly shaking in my grasp :("


"Abilify works wonders, but it can have long term side effects.  Blood test are taken every 6 - 8 months to make sure everything is okay."


"I have been on this medicine for almost two weeks. Has helped my mood and curbed my cravings and eat almost nothing and have NOT LOST ONE SINGLE POUND!!! I can't tell you how disappointed I am....and for what I paid for it!!!! This is a total rip off."


"Started 04/06- update on 06/12.  Have lost 28 pounds thus far.  Goal is to loss another 30lb by September.  No harsh side effects.  Exercising and eating more responsibly from day 1."


"This was a wonder drug for me! Had tried so many things from daily Topamax (did nothing), imigran, the snorty (nasal spray?) thing (can't remember its name), codeine, betapyn, acupuncture, special diets etc and this is the only drug that knocks off the migraine, deals with the nausea and leaves me functional at work.
The only other drug I ever found effective was something called a 'migraine cocktail' that I was given on a work trip in a South African pharmacy - a little selection of about 6 tablets, 2 yellow, 1 pink, a few white. To this day I have no idea what was in it but it killed my migraine (probably nearly killed me, but it worked)! Outside of that, the Relpax is my absolute go-to. I have a script for both the 40mg (small migraines) and 80mg."


"Over the past 7 yrs. I've been on every painkiller known to man. Currently what works for me is Fentanyl 25mg patches and Norco 10/325mg for breakthrough pain. Disabled due to severe back(lower) pain, both hips broke, right knee with osteoarthritis and my right Achilles tendon was torn up by a

dog. My combo allows me to function somewhat for up to about 4 hrs before pain level starts rising and I have to stop cause sometimes the pain gets so bad that the meds don't work. Fentanyl is not for everyone but I would suggest to anyone dealing with severe chronic pain to try it.A patch last 3 days and I have no side effects from it. No constipation either.  I thank my lucky stars that my doc found this combo. I still have bad days but very few."


"I started on it and was increased over several weeks to 20mg a day.  At first, it was OK but then the nausea started.  It did not matter if I took it with food or before bedtime, it was always there.  I started feeling slow and more depressed.  Today i saw my provider and we decided to wean me off and try something else.  I am doing a genetic test to see what meds I will respond to the best."


"I have been on Arava for 6 weeks and I also take 5mg of Prednisone.  The medication has been extremely helpful in treating the swelling and soreness of the joints.  I am now able to write, type, stir, laugh and I feel generally so much improvement, it's like getting my life back after several months of severe pain, swelling and stiffness."


"I like this for anxiety."


"I love this medication. I bleed super heavy during my cycle. A pad and tampon will last for an hour at most. My doctor wants to do ablation surgery, but I wanted to try the medicine first. It really reduced the bleeding, but my periods went from 9 days to 13.  However, they are light days so I'm happy. For the first 4 months I got a headache with each dose, but now that has gone away."


"I started a very low dosage and worked upward until I found what worked for me (40mg). However, as my depression got worse and worse, the Prozac actually stopped working altogether no matter how much it was increased! It's a good medicine for mild to moderate depression, but there are better choices for major depression."


"I love Tri-Previfem! The only side effect I experienced was a little weight gain during the first few months. My period was much lighter with fewer cramps and my sex drive remained completely normal. I have been taking Tri-Previfem for almost 5 years and I have been currently considering changing to the implant; being in college has created a very hectic schedule and I tend to skip pills constantly and fail to take them on time."


"Simply put. Librium saved my life!"


"I've only had two YI. The first one went away within a couple days. This one im currently going through started Saturday. It is currently thursday, and I decided to try monistat. I put in the ovule and used the cream and felt immediate relief. After about 30 minutes It felt very runny down there. I went to the bathroom, and when i layed back down, all hell broke loose. I felt an immense burning in and around my vagina. If this doesnt feel better by tomorrow, i will not be using monistat for the fact that the side affects hurt a million times more than the actual infection. Praying its better in the morning! Putting a cold wash cloth on it helps."


"i was on byetta from for 6 mths it was good to control the sugar levels but i did not find any other benefit as to what the drug claim about losing weight....i thought the expense was to much for the not so stellar results....."
