"Loving it so far, seems to be giving me a life. I am a single mom who struggles with bipolar polar everyday and has been on almost everything and combo of things out there with no success. The only problems I've noticed so far are nausea, dizziness, and being extremely tired throughout the day. I have only been on the medicine for a short period of time so I'm hoping these side effects will start to go away but compared to what I normally deal with, they are nothing. The big issue is I do not have insurance so my doctor is currently giving me samples. I'm trying to qualify for the financial assistance program but if I don't I won't be able to take the medication."


"I am a 52 year old male. I started Belviq on 1/20/15. I started at 231lbs. My main problem was no willpower and a love of food. While Belviq did not get rid of my hunger, it brought it within my "willpower zone". Assisted by a calorie counter app I have lost 25 lbs in 44 days. There were no adverse effects for me. I exercise 3x a week and really eat whatever I want, as long as I stay under my calorie target for the day. Belviq has given me the head start I needed to live a more healthy life."


"I was put on effexor for severe depression at 75mg.  This got raised every time it stopped working until I reached 225mg.  I was on it for about 3 years.  To be fair it worked really well the first 2 years.  BUT, after the second year I went flat, felt No emotion at all, didn't care about anyone or anything.  It was worse than the depression that I was originally treated for!  Then came the time to get off of it.  This was like hell!  I have had to detox from opiates in the past and that was a piece of cake compared to this.  It took me over a year to get off of it and ended up taking tiny beads until I was well enough to stop.     If you can avoid this medicine do it!!"


"I have been taking Ambien for many years and am totally addicted to it now. I can't sleep if I don't take it. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to. It is best to take it and get right to bed, no lingering in the kitchen. It really works!"


"I have been on Portia for a couple months now, and I noticed I've been super depressed and overly tired, I went to a good 7/8 hours of sleep and now sleep for 10/11 a night and still feel the need to nap in the evenings. I also suddenly became uninterested in studying and lazy, I've also been vomiting out of nowhere and not sure if it's because of the pill. I've taken a few pregnancy tests and they are negative, plus my boyfriend is always away in camp so it's already a low risk of me getting pregnant anyways."


"Been off and on Lexapro for 4 years now. I dread having to go back on it as the side effects make me feel lousy - headaches, nausea, jittery, insomnia, lightheaded and anxious. After a week though I feel back to normal and my energy and love for life returns. Being a person who prefers not to take medication I know that sometimes you can fight too long before you need a helping hand - Lexapro helped me. If you do get side effects at the beginning I advise you to go with the flow, understand that it's the medication working & think positive - take care to you all."


"Got this thing in my arm 1 month ago. Insertion wasn't too bad, hurt a little bit, and was sore for a couple days. Bruise went away after about a week. It was really itchy, and at times still is. I started bleeding 10 days ago, so I called my doctor. One of the nurses told me that I could continue to bleed continuously for the next 6 months....great. Looking at other people's reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one. At least it is a light amount, but still very annoying. I hope I can get through this and never have a period again. On the plus side, I don't have to take a pill everyday, and my insurance covered the implant, which would've cost me $3000 out of pocket."


"Please make sure you are not allergic to this drug. I had no idea I was and ended up with horrible allergic reactions. Shortness of breath, heavy chest, rapid pulse-it was at 120 beats per minute for 2 days straight, now it comes and goes. It has been 4 days and I am not better. I really have felt like an anxiety or panic attack is happening all the time. "


"Seroquel, 50mg nightly in addition to Lithium (2 x 200mg) and Cipramil (20mg) a dream combo for me. Stops the racing thoughts and knocks me out cold for 8 hours / night. Slight weight gain of maybe 2-3 kilos but hardly noticeable. I'll take the extra weight over hypomania and insomnia any dat."


"I've just started 37.5 mg of effexor xr for depression,  gad and pd. Im on day 10 and I'm finally getting my energy back. I no longer stay on the couch all day long. Im finding that I have more energy in the am but after lunch the energy slowly fades. But im ok with that!! I was on celexa 30mg for 10 years and i am slowly weaning off that. The celexa work for maby the first 2 years but thats it! I havent tried anything else because I have a fear of taking new meds. I am very proud of myself for taking the plunge and trying something new!! Im happy that I did!  I also suffer from chronic daily headaches and migraines which has a huge part of why I have anxiety and depression. I take 40mg of proaponolol and 75mg of amitriptyline as preventive"


"No side effects, 15 days after taking the 1 week supply plus the 1 week refill... and my infection has come again... this is a nightmare...steer clear"


"I've been on Enbrel since May 2012 for Rheumatoid Arthritis and took it varying from every week to as long as 7 weeks at a time. In March 2016, after trying to lean off enbrel, I started having issues with my lower back SI joint and behind my shoulder. I took Enbrel and it got better. I was officially diagnosed with mild to moderate Ankylosing Spondylitis in June by my rheumatologist. I went back to Enbrel every other week and I feel great. Just like the arthritis, my AS went away. I am only 22 years old but Enbrel has kicked two physical diseases and I'm so happy. Try Enbrel!!!"


"I never had a yeast infection until I got pregnant and so today was my first day using Monistat 7 & the itching and burning is no joke but going to fight through it because I don't like having it"


"I have taken Lunesta 3mg for around 6-7 years.  It takes about 45 minutes to make me start nodding off.  I had the metal taste when I first started using it but don't have any problem with that for years.  I got insomnia when I had a hysterectomy years back.  I use to take Trazodone and it worked great but gave me a headache every morning.  Be sure not to eat any snack near the time you take you take Lunesta that interferes with absorption and falling asleep time.  I think it might make me a little more depressed.  However, if i don't sleep I would be a raving loon!  Nothing worse then laying awake and you head won't shut-up.  I would like to be able to fall asleep without medication but it just doesn't happen without Lunesta."


"This was the nastiest stuff I've EVER drank. Mixed with cold lemon lime Gatorade and just had to keep drinking without breathing thru nose till it was gone. Took first dose at 6:30 pm and when I took second dose at 8:30 pm I almost didn't get it all down. Part of it came back up. Started working 30 mins after first dose and worked a lot quicker than I expected. That part I liked. Did have the chills while taking it and felt bloated from all the water which the water was easy for me to drink that amount of. But that taste....how in the world could some say it even remotely tasted like watered down grape? Tasted like pure nastiness!!!"


"Horrible burning. I wish I had read these reviews before trying it. I used it once years ago and did not have this problem, so I didn't bother reading up on the product (Monistat 7)."


"Woke up with nausea and diarrhea and unbearable pain in my left side. Days later ended up at the ER and cat scan showed 6mm stone on left , Dr. put me on Flomax 1X per day for 10 days and pain meds. Followed up with urologist 9 days after taking the Flomax and an ultrasound showed no more stone on my left side I passed it without feeling it.  I have another 5mm on my right but now that I know what to expect I will have Flomax and pain meds on hand for the next episode."


"I've passed several stones, this was one of the worst and the first time flomax was prescribed. I have never had such ease passing a stone before and would highly recommend this for anyone suffering from a stone."


"Fantastic, I started on Friday, March 1, 2013 I have been working at loosing weight for years, I don't have high blood pressure, or diabetes, but my triglycerides are through the roof and I have rheumatoid arthritis and my joints are deteriorating and I am so tired of the pain and carrying around the weight, I am not a big eater, but when I eat it is sweets I crave and I am a heavy coke drinker.  Anyway that being said, on Friday I started and not at the starter dose, full strength, no issues for me, I can't stand the taste of coke any longer or sweets and I have no appetite.  I have energy and have even started walking again.  I haven't gotten on the scale but with the energy already this could be the miracle I needed."


"I was originally prescribed this for a foot injury.. not one for pain medicines I reluctantly take these once in a awhile. However, the last couple of times I have taken them at night due to body aches and pains, it killed the pain but my sleep was filled with vivid dreams, and I could not reach the deep sleep. I woke up with a headache, hangover feeling, and totally drained throughout the next day - not worth it in my opinion with the side effects I am experiencing. Use with caution."


"I started taking Contrave February 11, 2017. I have don't have a really stressful job but sit most of the day. My weight is a problem and would to lose around 60 lbs. Today I'm 2 weeks into taking Contrave no weight lose yet but I'm hopeful it will happen. I have not experienced any negative side effects to date. I exercise daily and watch my diet."


"After 1 day I was 75 percent better. Amazing."


"I suffer from mainly depression and anxiety.  I have had a few bouts of hypomania.  This was recommended to me to help anxiety and mood swings.  Within an hour of taking this medicine I was always somewhat buzzed and not in a good way.  Like you have to lie down and sleep or you will become extremely irritable.  The sleep was great on it, however you wake up in a fog for hours.  Usually until dinner time for me.  It really flattens you out so you don't feel much but emotionless and tired.  I took anywhere from 50 to 200 mg and the result was the same.  I am off now and trying safer meds.  Seroquel wasn't for me, glad it helps millions though!"


"I went to the hospital last night because there was a boil under my armpit. Last month I had one on my buttock. They tested me for diabetes, I'm not a diabetic. I don't know why I keep getting boils. They couldn't drain it because fluid hasn't formed yet, so they gave me Bactrim. I have to take 2 pills every 12 hrs. They are huge. And hopefully they work well for me like they did for most of you!"


"I used other medications prescribed by 2 dermatologists and my family doc for rosacea for about 7 years with only minor efficacy. (Onraltea does hide it though) A 'senior' dermatologist diagnosed the problem as exzema and prescribed Protopic 0.1%. I used it as prescribed for 5 or 6 months and it seemed to be controlling the redness. I stopped applying it for a few weeks while having facial laser treatments. When I next applied Protopic one week ago, my skin burned, swelled and became extremely dry and flaky. The burn/swelling problem continues and is being treated. Full disclosure: I had the same experience with the rosacea medication Rosiver."


"I feel great. Colonoscopy not so great. Been on lialda for 3 yrs. Wonder what eating/drinking habits the person from Iowa has.."


"Can taste the drops about 15 minutes after you use them. "


"I read these reviews shortly after having Nexplanon implanted and was terrified. I decided to wait until my first period to review Nexplanon myself. I got Nexplanon implanted on November 4th and had my period on February 19th. It lasted a day and then I spotted for two weeks. During those two weeks, I developed some acne on my chest and back and my sex drive was through the roof. Those are the only negatives to Nexplanon. I have had a great experience with Nexplanon so far. I think it's important to mention that I have no children and had no problems with oral birth control either. I would definitely recommend Nexplanon."


"I have had many of the same experiences with the chemical thyroid meds, I asked to be switched over to armour and felt great, then after a few years, I noticed something was terribly wrong had heart palpating and just super tired all the time.

   Went to the pharmacy and he told me that they changed the formula and that it had more fillers, he said that he could compound it for me and that would take care of the problem, so I asked my doctor and got a perscription for it to be compounded.  All I can say is what a difference!!! Back to my old self."


"Worked great for pain, but beware of tolerance. Taking four to six hours or longer seems impossible at times but it will give you the most relief. I have been taking four daily of yellow 3601 ( best generic norco from HEB if you ask me they are extended release as oppose to the rubbish white ones you find elsewhere) and I don't seem to get as much relief now days, one 10 mg will last approx two hours. Hard to get your doctor to understand but I am thankful for having something to help. Works great with two methocarbamol 750 or gabapentin. Have tried many prescriptions for  my three herniated discs, sciatica, arthritis/ pelvis pain and these three have given me the best relief."


"I've been on it for 8 months after dentist told me I was grinding teeth at night. Post lymphoma cancer patient so its been a rough few years. Am on 15mg tabs
Its been fine but after 4 months notice its getting harder to lose weight. Not sure if its my age, 59, or partly the medication.
My worry is getting off it. I tend to go colder turkey and have noticed I don't sleep well when I stop. And have vivid dreams for a while.
I do sleep better when on it, but it does change the feeling of connection with things around me. Only slight but noticeable.
I find it a bit worrying to be reliant on a pill and am seeing its going to take a while to get off it. Although not addictive I can see it can be emotionally addictive."


"Everyone take a note that anytime you take an antibiotic you should to a probiotic to help your digestive health. A lot of antibiotic's cause diarrhea and can turn severe without proper technique. Take into fact too that eating or consuming and dairy product with an antibiotic is A HUGE NO-NO!!! I cannot stress how many times people have done that complaining about frequent loose bowel movements that sometimes leads to accidents.   By the third day if you don't reckon progression, go back to docs immediately!"


"Horrible!l! I'm 36 and have NEVER been like this. I stared at a razor blade for 10-15 minutes before I realized what was going on. I called my doc as soon as they were open. I was a zombie. I was crying for zero reason, this drug did the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do."


"Before I started on Singulair I would have several serious asthma flares every year requiring prednisone treatment. Since starting Singular several years ago I have only had one serious asthma flare. My allergic rhinitis is also much better controlled."


"I am 23 with fibromyalgia and various post competitive gymnastics injuries. Daily I take Concerta, tramadol, Lexapro and Ambien to sleep. I take Percocet and Flexeril as needed for my bad days. Percocet is wonderful but it is obvious to me why people become addicted to it so I am careful not to take it unless the pain is really bad. It does affect mood, people are saying it should be used as an antidepressant but that is ridiculous. Yes, Percocet makes you feel great mentally and physically, but the second you stop taking it you will no longer have that feeling of wellbeing. Antidepressent get you back to a normal level that you can maintain after you come off it."


"I have used this cream.  It casuse scars on my face after using it for two weeks. Don't use it.  It's not effective"


"August 2013 and my experience with it has been both good and bad. The first month I did not have a period, then for the next six months I had a period every two weeks, now it's down to a period once a month. For pregnancy prevention its great, but not so great because of irregular periods."


"Medication was a joke. I've had issues with ADD and my doctors have refrained from prescribing me controlled substances, however Guanfacine (for the treatment of ADHD) felt insulting. A high blood pressure medication certainly isn't suitable for the treatment of what has been a debilitating medical condition for my entire life. Luckily, I'm back on Vyvanse and able to live a healthy, productive life without the influence of illicit drugs and alcohol. Dual disorders require treatment of ALL the underlying conditions, you can't spare one and hope it goes away while you treat the other."


"This was prescribed for hypertension, and so far as I can tell I have had no problems with it. I cannot say whether it helps with anxiety, although my doctor said to take one when I felt as though my heart was racing. It seemed to help, but I do not know whether it was because of the Tenormin or the placebo effect."


"I take daily for L5 Herniated disc. It is very effective in restoring a quality life with pain marginalized. I take 2 to 8 tabs rather irregularly today as my back condition improves. Side effects: if I take up to 8 tabs in a day, I inevitably have sleeping problems and in most cases I require another medication to prevent a sleepless night."


"I started taking Yaz in 2007 due to extremely long periods. I was not sexually active when I first started taking Yaz. After about a year, I was switched to Ocella, but it was still basically the same thing. I Ocella for just under 5 years. I stopped taking it one month ago. I had ZERO sex drive, very poor natural lubrication, and cramps that had me doubled over every few months. I never really got pimples, so that's a plus. But I still had longer periods than I would have liked. "


"I have been on Bactrim DS for 6 days (4 more to go) and was diagnosed with MRSA. I feel the medicine is working VERY WELL but my side effects are bad! I feel nauseous ALL day. I have a hard time eating. I feel like I'm pregnant. My stomach cramps, sometimes bloated, a little bit of dizziness here and there, and always feeling like I am going to throw up. I'm just really glad that Bactrim DS is working for my MRSA because I really don't want to go through different meds and then having to end up being hospitalized because I couldn't find the right antibiotics for treatment."


"During high school I began having several episodes of ridiculous pain in my back (I was a very healthy athlete at that time also) and ended up experiencing numbness in my L leg to the point I could hardly ambulate (I say ambulate because walking was NOT the only thing it effected). My dad, luckily an M. D., gave me samples of Skelaxin. As long as I took it appr. 2.5hrs before a practice or game, it only helped. After that time period, however, my coordination was markedly decreased, though it did tend to take the right fielder by surprise ;) In short, back then I loved it.
I just started back on this after appr. 2  yrs off for a potential slipped/herniated/fromhell disc in the L2-L4 region soo.... Fingers crossed!!"


"I am a teenager.

I had acl reconstruction surgery recently and my pain meds caused constipation.

I tried this drug and yes it was effective but the after effects were AWFUL. I have never experienced stomach pain like that before. (well, that one time I ate way too many Buffalo Wild Wings was a close second)

NEVER AGAIN!!"


"Insurance company kept trying to get me to try the generic. The mail order pharmacy sent the solu tab - did not work at all."


"So far no side affects and a huge improvment in my sex drive and and less tired."


"I'm on my second pack. I have not take birth control in years but my doctor recommended it to help with my endometriosis.  Previously I had cramps, no cramps now.  No spotting, period came as scheduled with the pills.  No headaches.  I have noticed some acne but nothing to worry about really.  I have gained weight, about 10 pounds, and went up 1 bra size, without any change in diet or my exercise program.  I find that I am hungry all the time and not sure how to lose these 10 pounds without going on a very strict diet.  Other than the weight, I'm very happy with Jolessa."


"Been on this for four weeks now and have seen definite improvement in lessening of anxiety and depression. Finding the exact dosage and best time to take it seems to be both a bit tricky and the key to success. Tried 10 mg in morning and was spaced out and headachy (but not anxious nor depressed) all day. Switched to 5 mg at night, but still too slowed down in the daytime. Finally hit on 2.5 mg (1/2 a 5 mg) before bed and this seems to be perfect for me. Not overly anxious anymore, but not groggy or fatigued either. So if you are just going on this, do yourself a favor and experiment with dosage/times before deciding its not right for you."


"Hair loss, bloating, headache, night sweats, stretch marks on inner thighs and increased frequency on bowel motion."


"From 18 years old until 24 (my current age) I used to have oily skin and all-over breakouts on my face and upper back. I was on Proactiv forever and finally was fed up with the ridiculous cost and little results. I asked my doc to put my on a BC that would address my acne issue and she chose Beyaz. I have never had terrible deep cystic acne, but rather constant red bumps/pimples and under the skin bumps. The first 3 months of taking Beyaz, I noticed less above the skin acne but more deep painful bumps. However, after the 3 month mark, my skin DRASTICALLY improved. It's smooth and clear. I get an occasional breakout here and there but holy smokes. I have no negative outcomes- no weight gain and no crazy hormonal outbursts. TRY THIS!!!!!"


"I have had the Implanon for about a month now. The insertion didn't hurt and it was free with my insurance.  I have actually had an increase in my sex drive, and my migraine headaches (which I was getting at least once a week) have now greatly reduced.  I have some light bleeding, but I was warned of this before I got it inserted, and your doctor will inform you of side effects before you get it so you can't really get angry when it happens.  I am a busy person and I chose this birth control because it suits my life style.  Overall I love it, and would highly recommend it to others."


"So my girlfriend and I were having sex and next thing you know the condom broke. We went to a clinic were they gave her the pill and took it around 22 hours after we had sex. I was scared it didn't work because she was barely having symptoms. Her period was supposed to come the 26 but it never came I started to get worried and today it came. Trust me just wait and it'll come, don't stress or think about it too much"


"This medication was a life saver after being admitted in the hospital for being manic an very agaitated was titrated from 50mg to 250mg a day in it has cured my agitation 75% of my mood 50% of my deppression since most antidepressants make me manic I would recommend to anyone who has tried multiple medicines I can finally sleep feel relaxed in not stay angry for hours."


"Was prescribed this for tension headaches.  It does something, but it makes me dizzy and light headed.  It seems to start working nearly immediately (reduces the pain by like 50-75%), but after not too long the headache will start slowly creeping back over the course of the next few hours.   I actually have a headache I've been attempting to treat with it right now and so far I've taken 7 pills over the course of 26 hours and it's still here."


"Had sex on ovulation day and condom broke. He didn't finish inside me, only a little got in me as he pulled out. I had just began my bc a couple weeks prior and was scared my antibiotics I was on could have interactected with my bc. So I took plan b 30 minutes later and started my period 2 weeks later on the predicted date! It was extremely stressful. I convinced myself at times I was pregnant by googling everything possible. I know it's hard not to do that but try not to! If you take it in enough time it should work. I had minimal side effects. Lots of stretchy white discharge for two weeks and my period started as a dark brown discharge that was minimal and turned into a period. Good luck!"


"I feel like I can breathe!  This is the only medicine that resolves my ADD symptoms. I have tried everything else and they just can't compare. Totally makes it so I have the courage to live again, to walk up to people I don't know and talk to them, to feel less depressed, to stand up for myself, and above all to focus on the important things. I wish more doctors were informed of how helpful it really is to people who have adult ADD."


"My doctor prescribed this for me due to heart palpitations to go along with another medication Pristiq. This medication did nothing for me other than increase my appetite .I gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks. Have stopped taking it."


"I've been diagnosed over 20 years ago with major depression and was hospitalized.  Took Prozac and after 5 years was able to taper off.  Depression came back the last year and was diagnosed with recurrent major depression.  After having a bad reaction to Wellbutrin, my psychiatrist suggested Viibryd because of the non-side effects for sexual desire.  I took 10mg for two weeks, and while it did seem to help with my depression, I did notice insomnia, increase in anxiety in the morning as well as an increase in the ringing in my ears. I have some tinnitus, but I found that the Viibryd increase it so much that it made it unbearable for me.  I had to stop the medication and noticed major recurrence of anger and sadness."


"I first discovered Naratriptan as an OTC drug when living in Germany. I've had migraine for 36 years (mine started when I was nine years old) and have tried so many different drugs I can barely remember half of them. Paramax, Midrid (Midrin in the US), Topiramate (avoid, avoid, avoid!), Depakote (made me suicidal, also huge weight gain), Imigran (Imitrex in the US) (worse than useless, removed the pain but made all the other symptoms such as nausea, vertigo, photophobia much, much worse), I already take medication for high blood pressure and an anti-depressant so angiotensin drugs are out as are tricyclics (and amitriptyline never prevented them years ago when I took it for insomnia, anyway)..."


"I'm a firefighter/paramedic and I've been on Nuvigil for about 4 days now and I love it. I have never been a fan of taking medications but when between working 24 hour shifts, school full time and my 3 year old daughter I found myself exhausted all the time. I started drinking energy drinks and they worked but after awhile they got expensive so I started taking caffeine pills. After awhile my body needed the caffeine everyday but I didn't necessarily need it every day which I didn't like. I also didn't like my heart racing with the caffeine. Since starting Nuvigil I haven't had caffeine at all and I didn't have much of a withdrawal phase. It has had all the positive effects for me like a stimulant with none of the negative."


"I took Restoril for about 5 years. It really helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. When I woke in the morning I wouldn't have any hangover effects, I would feel refreshed. It also didn't cause me to sleep so heavily that I couldn't wake if necessary. Unfortunately after about 5 years it stopped working. I was taking 30mg a night (sometimes a little more if I needed to go to bed earlier than usual). I wish it still worked, it was a great medicine while it lasted."


"Had IUD Mirena inserted last April, 2015, it was excruciating. I bleed for 10 days 1st 3 months & had consent spotting. My periods are dark black blood clots & very few months of heavey red bleeding. There are months I have anywhere to 2/3 periods. I also had extremely bad anxiety/depression, crying fits, gnarly headaches, major cramps and severe mood swings, family hates me/it!!!! I decided to do IUD after Loestrin 24 was disconnected. Am 44 & ever had children. Calling to get it out & back on the pill. I do not recommend this product."


"I took Actonel for 7 months. I'm 55 yrs young and active! One day each month after taking Actonel I had flu-like symptoms for 4 months and then it got better, however I experienced esophagus burning."


"I have been on 20 Lortab and 10 Soma a day for 5 YEARS and I did the detox for 1 day, which gave me mild withdrawls but the second I took that first 2 mg of Suboxone, I felt and looked better.  I have been going on 3 weeks now and I won't lie, my back does hurt at times and I still want to pop pills when stress is high but I haven't because the Suboxone has made me pull through that feeling. Be realistic and I promise this was the best drug to help me."


"I have been taking Junel for about 9 months. During the first month or two on this pill, I experienced terrible mood swings and depression. This has gotten better, but hasn't completely gone away. However, my periods are lighter and shorter. I still experience regular abnormal bleeding, for instance, one of my periods lasted a full month, and my most recent one started two weeks early. However, it does its job. Personally, I'm not sure whether the benefits outweigh side effects."


"Body aches, fever, chest pain, heavy chest, problems breathing, stomach pain."


"Plan b has been wonderful as far as I'm not pregnant. My period was one week late. A lot of cramping and bloating, but as long as it does what it's suppose to. Took it about 6 hours after unprotected sex. Sixty dollars does not compare to a baby!"


"This medication did not work for me at all."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Helped to improveHemoglobin (hgb) and hematocrit (hct) and minimal Red blood cell (RBCs). Feel positive results thus far. Side effects were bone pain for few days after injection. Worst side effect was severe runny nose starting about 3 days post injection peaking about 2 weeks post injection and basically over at time for next injection."


"I have just started taking this for nerve pain in my hands, leg and feet. For siatica, bursitis, bulging and degenerative disc pain at 100mg dosage. I have had noticeable pain relief for these issues today . It does make me drowsy but seems to be working. I will do an update on pain relief for a day where my pain is really bad and report on how it works then."


"Bactrim helped with my bladder infection symptoms, but I have had the worst headache for three days straight from it. It hurts so bad that I've been nauseous. I hope I never have to take this again."


"Well, I'm not pregnant so it worked for me. I took Plan B 44 hrs after the incident and I was ovulating. The only side effects I had was cramping and back aches a week after I took the pill and sometimes heat flashes. I was only a day late."


"I switched to this from the Nuvaring about three to four years ago. It originally worked great; timed my periods perfectly (always Sunday at noon after last active pill), would stop my period with no breakthrough bleeding when starting another pack and made my periods light and pain free. It was also an effective birth control method as I've never been pregnant. This year, however, my boyfriend and I noticed I would have severe mood swings in my third week of active pills. I would literally not want to be in a relationship. I've also noticed breakouts on my face and body and get mild cramping every few months. "

"I was given this med for RLS/PLM. This medication kept me up most of the night with a bucket to vomit into. Hummm.... Which to chose, RLS/PLM vs Severe nausea/ Vomiting? "


"I find this medication controls the symptoms of my ADHD with no side effects"


"I would just like to say chantix is the best thing I could ever done. I had 2 heart attack and I did not quit smoking until I got chantixs and I have finally quit. If it wasn't for chantix I will never quit. I've been smoking for about 31 years I want to say thank you.  I did try everything and I could you quit smoking before chantixs.  I would recommend now to the people that really need help to give up smoking"


"I have a heavy flow to say the least. I get horrible PMS as well and cramping that I believe is just not normal. It almost makes me pass out at times, the pill told me to start it on the Sunday of my period  and I did. I'm bleeding so heavy and the cramps are worse."


"Used for a music tour. Used for a day with mild success, but then the side effects were so bad it didn't matter that I wasn't getting sick from motion sickness-now I was getting sick from the patch itself. Dizzy, dry mouth, blurred/double vision. I fainted during a concert because the nausea and blurred vision made me super wobbly. I'm sure part of it was my body just reacting to the medicine in a negative way, and I know other people who used it to greater success."


"I have been taking generic Adipex since Dec. 2015. I am 5 food tall and was 211 pounds. The first 11 pounds came off quick. Then I got down to 195. Now I am back up to 200 and can't drop the weight. My energy level is a lot better though. I don't really eat that much. So maybe my body is holding on to what I do eat. Who knows."


"23yo M -  This medication is a god send for me in complete honesty. I have had problems with GAD for around 4 years. Previously I've tried Citalopram which was effective for treating my issues, but had side effects in my sexual life which was not possible to overcome. I tried Venlafaxine which was similarly effective but also had the same side effects - took too long rather than nothing at all! I gave up on the current generation of anti-depressant medication before trying Duloxetine. This is in the same category as Venlafaxine although not as strong. I've gone straight from VF into Duloxetine and after 20 days have found this medication to be extremely effective. More than any other SSRI or SNRI. For once I feel like a normal person!"


"I started saxenda in August 2016. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life. When I started I weighed 273lbs. I now weigh 216 lbs. I have always been an active person. I go to the gym 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes. I also take a 20 minute walk during my lunch time. The weekends are my most difficult time so I make it a point to at least get my 10,000 steps in each day and do some type of activity . I have never denied myself any food although I make sure to eat as healthily as I can. From time to time I still have DQ blizzards, French fries and anything else I love but in much smaller portion sizes. This is the first time In my life that I continue to stay motivated and continue to reach for my goal weight. Better late than never."


"I suffer from chronic sinusitis. allergic to doxycycline. azithromycin is a life saver. its great."


"Adderall has really helped me stay focused in school. Just be careful with your doses."


"I started taking 3mg/day Prograf almost a week ago for my heart transplant.  I was on cyclosporin but was having lots of muscle pain and cramps from the cyclosporin.  Since starting the Prograg I've been itching non stop.  Its apparently one of the side effects.  I've also gained some fluid in my legs and hands.  Another side effect.  I hope the itching goes away soon or I'll have to switch to something else.  "


"Best thing for pain."


"I have only been taking this medicine for a week, I am being treated for inflammatory bowel disease and nothing else has worked. So far I think I am on the way to being cured. I am keeping my fingers crossed. After two weeks I have to report back to my physician as to my experience with this medicine."


"I have been on milnacipran (200mg) since they first started the study. First of all, the side-effects WILL go away. The pain never completely disappears, but is tolerable. I went from not being able to work at all, to managing a drug store and working 10 hour days. You still have to be careful and monitor what your body needs. Rest on a good bed (I use Temperpedic), heat (stay warm so you don't get stiff), take pain medication when needed, DO NOT let the pain run away from you. Force yourself to stay active. Do something everyday. And most of all, give the medication a chance. After 20 years, I am very grateful for this medication. I can hug my family more often than not and wouldn't give that up for anything."


"My boyfriend and I discovered that it made him go soft after about 10-15 minutes! It must be something to do with the hormones releasing...I don'tknow. All I know is he would go soft every time when I had it in and ever since I switched back to the pill he hasn't!"


"I was diagnosed with a big DVT in right leg in Oct. 2015. Was put on Xeralto for 6 months. Two months ago had another ultra sound and no clots. I am 66 years old. The doctor just took me off Xeralto 4 days ago and now I'm worried about having a stroke, more clots etc (thanks to all the scary commercials on TV) so now I'm stressed about being 'off' Xeralto. I didn't have any side effects that I am aware of while on Xeralto luckily. Doctor told me stay active (I sit 8 hours a day at work connected to a computer and phone) so I am sure this is why I got the clots to start with. I move my legs around under my desk and stand up for a few minutes every hour or two when I can. Will see what happens from here."


"I've been using this drug for two weeks and it is great."


"Day 7,

No weight loss but im only able to eat 1/2 of my usual serving.

Headache, dry mouth, super sleepy..

Not to bad, I still am able to get 12,000 step in on my fitbit.. sleety or not.

I hope this pill works for me"


"This was the first (and only) birth control I have ever used, so I will say upfront that the effects it had on me may have resulted in any birth control use not just from Yasmin. I used Yasmin for about 2 months and in that amount of time it had almost completely killed my sex drive. I could not reach "climax" whereas I had not had a problem before and had almost no desire for sex. In addition I became so dry that when I did have sex it would burn and be painful. I did gain some weight but I'm not sure if I could really blame it on the birth control except for the fact my breasts went up a cup size and still haven't shrunk though I've lost weight. The weight may have been put on easier on Yasmin? Hair got thicker also but no baby!"


"I have had this thing in my arm for almost a week and i feel like a basket case! I am crying all the time and angry about everything. I feel depression creeping on me. I know not everyone has this same experience but be careful! I have been clinging to the Lord this week. I couldn't imagine how things would be if I didnt know myself well enough and I didnt know Jesus. Needless to say this thing is coming out asap. I was going to give it a month but I don't think i can last that long!"


"Could not tolerate this drug during chemo rx

Hated it prescribed for thee cycles of my red  devil chemo treatment

It caused paranoia constipation which caused increased vomiting and also probably added to the chemonesia issues

Zophran Was replaced by Emend and i had 180 degree different drug and had no issues whatsoever

Zophran interferes with serotonin in the brain"


"I have pretty bad psoriaisis all over my body since I was 5. I am in my 40's now. This stuff was amzing. It cleared up all my patches within a week and it took quite a while for them to start coming back after I stopped using it.

Sadly, now I am out and unfortunately, you need a prescrip for this."


"Every allergy pill I try stops working eventually, so after using Claritin and Zyrtec, I decided to try Allegra. It is my first day using it and it partially clears me up but it is 3 in the morning and I have yet to feel tired. I can see that I am not alone, so I'll be going back to Zyrtec until I can see my doctor about switching to something else."


"It's crazy to me that there are so many good reviews, because this pill was bad for me! Every BODY is different and we all react differently...but I definitely did not have a good experience with this one. I've been on and off many other birth controls but never reacted to any like I did to this one. Within a week, I was a deranged, emotional, roller-coaster of a mess...cried over nothing for no reason, randomly and couldn't control it, almost ended my then 3 year relationship...depression to the max. Immediately asked my Dr. to take me off it and within a couple days I was back to normal. So crazy how much hormones can mess with you! You just have to find the right combination that works for your body."


"I started Norethindrone back in January, here it is the middle of May. I started the pill because of the obvious, "Don't want to get pregnant," and "We'd prefer to be safer than sorry", storyline.
I suffer from Chronic Migraine, so my doctor prescribed the mini-pill as an option, not wanting them to intensify.
Well, in that aspect, the pill worked. And has worked. It's also worked with preventing pregnancy. Thank goodness.
What it hasn't worked with is everything else. Almost 6 months on it and I've gained almost 15 pounds, and my periods have become almost completely unbearable!!!! And not to mention they come about every 2 weeks, if they even come that far apart!!"


"Insertion of the copper coil was uncomfortable and will give you painful cramps. But I do think the pain varies a lot on the individual and their tolerance. It definitely hurt, and it made me very light-headed but that really shouldn't deter you from the long-term benefits. My issue with the copper IUD came AFTER insertion (around 1-2 hours after) when I had pain in my lower abdomen which was excruciating. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. I think it is fairly uncommon to experience pain like I did, but if you do, just know that it is normal. It lasted 48 hours, and I had to go back to the clinic because I was paranoid I had a perforation. Everything was fine, of course! Now I am cramp-free and loving my decision. Be brave!"


"I've been on the Nuvaring for about 4 yrs. It was my first birth control that I've ever tried and I LOVE IT! No side effects and actually my period cramps disappeared. No increase in appetite, no cramping, no mood swings, and no pregnancies. I couldn't be any happier with my birth control."


"I used to have rashes that swelled and bled. In 5 minutes the irritation and swelling was gone."


"After two years of Depo-Provera shots, I decided to go a little more long term with my BC. On the shot my periods had all but disappeared; I'd get very minimal spotting for a single day out of two months. Since Nexplanon uses the same type of hormone, I incorrectly assumed that my cycle would stay the same. About four months after the insertion, I'm getting a full duration period every two weeks, like clockwork, and my PMS symptoms (irritability, lack of appetite, cramping and diarrhea) are back with a vengeance each time. My doctor wants me to hold out another few months to see if I stabilize. We'll see, I guess.

On the positive side, it's effective at preventing pregnancy."


"I have been on Celebrex for a long long time.  I stopped taking it because I was pain free/symptom free maybe 6 weeks ago.  I started to have pain again maybe 2 weeks after stopping it.  I attributed it to my exercise routine, wrong shoes etc.  I used ice to alleviate the symptoms.  I didn't think of it until today that my increased pain was due to stopping the Celebrex.  I've reordered it and will start again today."


"I have been on lisinopril for 1 1/2 years with no problems or side effects. It's a wonderful drug."


"I've been taking 10mg lexapro for anxiety for 5 days now.

Off and on in the past yr my level of anxiety has escalated so much that I thought I might have a nervous breakdown or something. I became anti social and angry. I would break down in tears if I thought about anything for more than 3 seconds. I felt hopeless and helpless.

I also take Adderall xr20MG.

My dr gave me lexapro 10mg  and said I might experience the side effects and call her in 1 wk if it was too much too handle. Headache for a couple hrs was all I experienced. I feel awesome! Like a wet blanket has been lifted off of me. I don't avoid people anymore and I feel like I can face the world and be me again. I think now that the tension is lifted I feel better physically!"


"This is my night #1 of 3 with the vaginal suppositories. I will say that I am having FAR more discomfort now than I was before I inserted the medicine. I can only pray the next 2 doses are far less irritating, burning and itching than tonight. I would much rather try a different methods than this. There will be no sleeping through this misery."


"I've had BV for the past 8 months and they always prescribe clindamycin and it always came back then they gave me Metronidazole. And the smell was gone by my second pill I couldn't be more happy"


"I was prescribed Cymbalta for anxiety, it has had a major positive impact.  I was a competitive distance runner for about 25 years and sprained both ankles and wore out my knees.  I was so achy in my joints all weekend and realized I did not take my medicine Saturday or Sunday because I put my pill case away when the cleaning lady came--HA HA.  It helps anxiety and joint pain.  I am very pleased with the results."


"I've had migraines (several types and causes) for about 22 years.  I've tried about every other triptan and preventive medication that's out there. Relpax works the best, by far. I have little side-effects, other than it makes me a little tired. But I'd rather have that than a debilitating migraine for days.  It works in about 30 minutes and you can totally function well on it. The only reason I give it a 9 is because it's expensive. With Insurance I pay $30 for 6 pills.  And half the time insurance won't cover it which makes it about $220 for 6 to 8 pills.  But if you can afford it, it's definitely worth the money to live a normal life again!"


"Effexor XR changed my life. Before I was on it, I suffered from constant unremitting generalized anxiety and deep, dark depressive episodes.  150mg Effexor XR gave me my life back.  over the years I had to increase my dose, ultimately ending up at 450mg. Unfortunately after year 9 it pooped out on me altogether. How I wish it would come back! A great antidepressant. All side effects for me went away within the first few weeks. Now giving Pristiq a try. "


"I was switched by my pharmacy from Aviane to Orsythia. After three months of trying it I have requested to go back to Aviane or try something else. It made me have longer periods and mood swings. I would feel like I wanted to cry at everything. I am glad I read the reviews on here and it was not just me. "


"I like it better than Lortab. Doesn't make me sleepy, but helps when I am asleep. Pain from a Root Canal and I tell you what, I have no pain now."


"Has been working great for me, I am currently taking this with Klonopin and have been getting the best nights of sleep I've had in years! I have tried them all to, Ambien CR, Sonata, Rozeram, Restoril and lorazapram to help calm me down before sleep. For some reason with everything but Lunesta, I would always end up waking up in the middle of the night and never be able to fall back asleep. I don't wake up groggy with this medicine either, am literally feeling the most rested and energetic during the day that I can remember filling since I was a kid."


"After 1st week lost about 4 lbs.  Only side effect is constipation. MOM helps. Didn't increase dosage as prescribed still take 1per day. If I eat carbs my appetite increases, if I stick to proteins with fresh fruit& vegetables appetite decrease, no desire to snack. No exercise yet."


"Very fast acting and easy to take.  I received relief from pain by the second dose."


"I was placed on Celexa in 2008 and have been on it ever sense. Although at one point in 2011 I thought I could stop taking it and took myself off for about 3 months and felt the difference. It has truly given me back my peace and happiness!!!"


"Finally I got terbinafine and have taken this for 2 months and so far my liver panels are normal. I see improvement in my big toenail- the base coming in is clearer and the nail there is not mis-shapen. My little toenail has yet to look better. I have had no side effects at all."


"My baby has extremely sensitive skin..one day after picking her up from the babysitters she had a severe diaper rash..shes had problems with eczema and diaper rashes since she was born..I am still trying to find out if maybe the diaper rashes can be caused from milk..I have tried everything. Frustrated and desperate to find something that would help my baby girl feel better I was introduced to Zinc Oxide my aunt swore it works so I tried it!! MIRACLE CREAM I CALL IT!  It worked when nothing else would and within 1 day my baby's rash went from SEVERE TO MILD...IT WAS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY! MY BABY IS HAPPIER NOW."


"OMG!  Only been taking venlafaxine 2 days and it has really cut down on my annoying hot flashes!!!!!! Used to have at least 10 a day and now in 2 days I’ve only had 3!!!!!!  Awesome!  Who want HRT and cancer possibilities!  Thanks to my doctor who prescribed venlafaxine!"


"It's been about 2 and a half weeks off depo now and I've seen a huge difference, in my mood, and in my skin especially. I was on the shot for about 2 years. The first half of the first yet I bled, not enough to need a tampon but enough to annoy me from time to time. It goes away. The last 6 months of using it I noticed a huge change in my skin. I've never had a problem with acne but after a year and a half on depo I started getting pimples on my forehead that wouldn't ever go away. I've never had problems with weight gain but did notice it made me a little more emotional then I had been off it. As for protection against getting pregnant it worked 100% on its own."


"I have had Skyla for 4 months and I love it! I read all the reviews before and that was a mistake. Insertion did hurt-- there are 3 big "pinches" involved-- but it was over in 30 seconds with no complications. I had very painful cramps for about 12 hours after insertion and spotting for a week or so afterwards but only had to take ibuprofen a few times after that first day and cramps were totally gone after a week. My period came later than normal the 1st time after insertion & I was so scared it wasn't working! But it was fine and the doc said don't try checking the strings because most people can't find them as they curl up under the cervix. Periods are super light but a bit long. Haven't had to use a tampon in 3 months-just pantyliners!"


"I took minocycline for my mild acne for about 2 weeks with no problems. I was very happy with my results. Until I started experiencing hives. The first day they showed up on my hips, then when I woke up the next morning they were all over my body on my waist, back, knees, elbows, hands, and even a couple on my face. They itch and hurt so bad. When they showed up on my feet, I couldn't walk. I couldn't get up to go eat, my sister had to come to my room to get me dinner. My hands became swollen and puffy, with hives all over, I can barely write. I stayed in bed the majority of the day. My doctor prescribed me with Benadryl and Prednisone, which helped because I woke up this morning with some improvement. I don't recommend minocycline."


"I have been taking Lexapro for 5 weeks now. In the first two weeks I thought it was having a positive affect on my moods, anxiety and depression. However, in the last 3 weeks, I seem to have reverted back and may have even regressed further back before I even started taking the drug. I have had more suicidal thoughts, desire to be left alone, high anxieties, extreme mood swings, and no motivation. I feel alone, with no hope. I have less interest in things I enjoy now than i did before taking Lexapro. My doctor told me that it would take 4-6 weeks for the medication to realize it's full effect/potential. Entering my 6th week, it's time for me and my doctor to consider alternatives."


"This was great for pain relief for the two months I was taking it. The problems I had far out weighted any benefits. I was suffering from blackouts where I would do things and not remember doing them. The depression, nausea, and headaches were unbearable too. I have been off it for 2 months now and am just starting to feel better. I'll live with the on-average 8 pain."


"I got in a car wreck when I was 17. I had many injuries, had surgery and was put on a ventilator for 5 days. It was the worst experience of my life. So last year when I was 30 I had to have empiema(sp?) surgery. My mother (who is a nurse and worked at that hospital) was there. I begged her if I had to be put on a vent again PLEASE have me knocked out with something the whole time. They had me on Propofol I.V. the whole time and the only time I knew I was on a vent is when a bubble formed in my I.V. which my mom came in and flicked it and I was out again. I was out for three days and when I woke up I did not have a hangover at all."


"Started off on Bystolic 5mg after having very high readings. I stayed on it for about a month before taking 2.5 mg. It was very effective. I was walking 4 miles a day. After going off of it my blood pressure shot up (about a month later) to 168/119. Because of the cost I was switched to a much cheaper blood pressure medicine, METOPROLOL 50mg two times a day. I do not feel like myself. Dizzy spells, tired and swelling. I will be going back on Bystolic. With BYSTOLIC I felt great. No odd feeling and my blood pressure was totally controlled. I am only 36."


"I started showing signs of hypertension at the young and tender age of 16. I started taking blood pressure medications soon after. I am now 27 and still fighting to keep it under control. Here the past year I have been in the  several times for 180s/120s. My poor dr has tried everything he can think of over the past several years and I have even been to multiple cardiologists. No one knows why I am having high blood pressure and no meds seem to be working. My dr placed me on the patch to see if it will work. Right now I am on 0.1 mg patch for a week at a time. No change at all in blood pressure being high. It is currently 166/111. Not really sure what to do at this point I am not over weight and salt is cut out of my diet for the most part."


"What is thiisssssss?! My vagina is on firrrreeeeee!! So torturous!! I have never in my life felt this kind of pain!  There has to be another treatment that is not going to cause this much pain!  Dying."


"After 4 injections my total cholesterol fell from 176 to 109. LDL from 123 to 29 and HDL went up from 30 to 45.
I am happy"


"I took this along with Cipro. After 3 days on a 10 day treatment, I was feeling much better. I made the decision to discontinue both. I had horrible diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, nasty taste in my mouth, no appetite, zero energy & sleepiness. I would not take this combo again for anything. Lost 5 lbs while taking it due to inability to eat or drink much."


"Back surgery"


"I have been using Butrans for 2 months now. I have scoliosis, cervical and lumbar bulging discs. I do get relief from the patches but it doesn't take the pain completely away. I also am prescribed Vicodin for breakthrough pain episodes. My main complaint is HEADACHES! I have been having the worst headaches so I discontinued the patch for the past week and a half. I am going to resume it today. I will let you know if it's the patch or something else. I am hoping I can continue with the Butrans because it does give me relief."

"I was on it for 6 months. I listened to everyone, doctor included giving it the fair trial to allow it to adjust in my system. However, the end result was worse then how it started. Within the 1st week on the pill my mood swings were absurd and my sex drive gone. I started my period  only for it to last 12 days and continued having 2 periods a month and constant brown discharge. I have been off this pill for 2 months still waiting for all of the side effects to taper off.  My skin stayed the same, acne was never a problem. My chest stayed the same. I didn't gain any weight but I had far too many emotional "fat" days!"


"just diagnosed with COPD a few weeks ago. My GP put me on Spiriva Respimat Inhaler. In a few days I broke out with skin rash on my back, chest, upper arms.lower legs, etc. Immediately discontinued the Spiriva and was put on a different drug. No complications from the new drugs in the past 2 or 3 weeks so far."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"This is the first time I've ever had a yeast infection, I'm 21 and it's probably because my diabetes is out of wack. I inserted the cream at about 2 am and by 5 I was crying in the shower washing it off. EVERYTHING is swollen. My vagina is swollen shut, my vulva is so swollen if my legs aren't all the way spread they touch. I have broken my back before and I'm 99% sure this pain is worse. I took a Vicodin an hour ago and it hasn't helped. I'm NEVER using this product again!"


"I have hurt so bad for so long. I could not believe how well this medicine helped me. I feel like a person again. I actually spend time with my grandkids now. It saved my life. I couldn't take the pain anymore. Now I have a life thanks to my doctor."


"This helps but after you take it and poop, etc.  You may loose control of your bowels if you laugh or anything like that it will make you poop without wanting to."


"Im 18 and don't like this pill the first week of side effects was horrible I couldn't even get up. I've been taking it for 3 months and only got my period 1 time ... I don't like that because it scares me. I gained like 15 pounds and been so depressed. I will be switching soon"


"No side effects.  In the beginning, they didn't help much at all and my pain management specialist (neurologist) had to increase my dosage quite a few times until we found a level sustainable.  I am now not as confined to my couch or bed like before.  Original dosage began: 12.5mcg 72 hours but no impact in controlling my pain level.  My current dose is 75mcg/48hrs.  I am opiate tolerant and will probably be increased to 100mcg.  In addition to Fentanyl, I also take Norco 10-325mg 6xday, Carisoprodol 350mg 4xday, Xanax 1mg at least 1xday and will start taking Chantix to stop smoking next week (Nov. 30, 2009).  I haven't had any bad side effects from Fentanyl. I like the Mylan brand better as it doesn't irritate my skin."


"Been on it for a few months started feeling better slept a little more then usual my doctor just recently upped me to 20mg having insomnia difficulties now but hopefully will go away after a few weeks like the sleepiness did. Other then that i love it I feel so much better"


"I am on week 3 now just took two pills at once. I have lost No weight. My thyroid sucks and my Dr. thought this might work. Have felt the stuffed sick feeling but only felt a little dizzy on the first day. Was on adipex for a couple years. This dropped my weight more quickly but after the first year just gave me the energy to work fast pace job and go to school. So far not very impressed with this drug. Will continue for the first month or two."


"my breathing got very bad I wasn't told about the side affects I read about it on this site and I ask my gp why I wasn't told about the side affects and he wouldn't tell me so I may need to talk to my lawyer"


"Intense itching on front and back of torso and arms."


"I'm on my second month on this medication and it is absolutely terrible, I'm so hormonal and I feel depressed most of the time. My breasts are so tender it hurts to wear a bra or do anything. I would not recommend."


"Had a colonoscopy yesterday...went in feeling perfectly fine, woke up after procedure very congested and sneezing, with runny nose and watery eyes.  Sneezing continued all day, went through an entire box of tissues.  Took a dose of Benadryl before bed and woke up today perfectly fine.  After reading others' similar experiences, I'm sure this must have been a side effect of the propofol."


"Do not drink alcohol when taking this medicine!"


"This is a great drug for gout flareups. The problem is that the cost went from 5 cents per pill to $5. 50 per pill"


"I started taking Pristiq and noticed a huge improvement within 2 days. I had been experiencing immense anxiety which made me scattered and often manic. The mood swings and feelings of doubt, inadequacy, perfectionism and worthlessness brought on by my anxiety had become overwhelming and caused me to sink into major depression. All of these feelings lifted largely withing 4 days of Pristiq. I feel focused, more interested in my old hobbies, much less anxious in general, and no depression. I do not feel foggy or like a different person, rather I feel like my old self.

Minor SEs including dehydration (fainted once) and aching jaw."


"3 years at home has been a relief for me. Needle area sites takes about 2 hours to disappear. 10 grams per week of Hizentra keeps my level normal and I have not had any infections or illness. The cream is applied 15 minutes
before the needles and very smooth going in."


"I have been diagnosed with migraines since I was 9. I am 33 today. My migraines are acute and chronic. As I got older, they increased in frequency and severity. At a certaine point I was hospitalized weekly. I could no longer function as a normal person. School, excerise, relationships, friendships were impossible. It made me even more depressed that noone understood my pain and some thought I was faking it. I was finally pronounced "disabled" afew years ago which made getting a job nearly impossible. I wanted to end my life because of this many times. The 6 months ago, an ER doctor suggested Tryptizol. To me, it is a miracle drug. I only have migraines once a month with my period. I am proof that hope exists. I wish I used it sooner."


"I am using Dexelant over 5 years and I keep taking every day it's help me a lot  I was very bad to much heartburn so sick of it but thanks to Dexelant for helping me so much"


"Suffered from occasional erectile dysfunction. Doctor said it was my very stressful workload. Tried the 50mg pill and results were amazing. Wife and I are in mid-30s and very active with a 3 year old. Haven't had to use the pill too much, probably once every 5 weeks or so. Highly recommend Viagra."


"I started taking Pristiq a year ago.  I am 57 year old female that went through a devastating divorce after 20 years of marriage.  The worst part was that he left me for my best friend.  They both work at the same employer that I do.  So it was very hard for me to return to work and see them both there.  I was severely depressed and really didn't want to be on this earth.  I have never taken antidepressants before.  My doctor put me on 50mg of Pristiq to help me through this time.  The first 3 days were great....someone could have died and I was smiling for the first time in a long time, and I wanted to be here!  I am just now weaning myself off Pristiq slowly with my Doctor's blessing.  So far no side effects."


"I've been on this med for two weeks.  My dr. Had me start out on one pill a day for one week then two pills on the 2nd week. I am to take these for 6 months. The only side effects I am having are extreme tiredness and nausea. Taking B vitamin complex is helping with that.  I am also starting to lose weight which will help my high Cholesterol."


"I have only been on Qsymia for 4 days but I have lost 5 pounds. I am very short and after menopause I fluffed out I mean really. I have exercised and dieted for over a year with only loosing 10 pounds I really researched this before taking because I already have tachycardia however my doctor recommended due to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I felt foolish first couple of days not so bad now. Have had insomnia hope that goes away soon. Hope to have continued weight loss. Will keep updated. No increased heart rate as of yet."


"I've had my Mirena since July 29, 2008. When I first got it inserted I was a bit nervous because I was told that it was a little painful. I did feel a small pinch followed by a few minutes of what felt like menstrual craps, but that was it. It has been over a year and I still have periods, I didn't gain any weight, I even forget that I have it in. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a birth control that is low maintenance but effective."


"Bit of  nausea at the start but eased off until I changed my stab day then sickness came back for a couple of weeks. 11 weeks in and have dropped 12kg in weight. Blood sugars are way down and have more energy. Struggle to always eat three times a day but when I do I feel great and that's when the weight melts off."


"My doctor changed my medication from Advair & Ventolin to this new highly recommended medication Breo.

This is my second week taken it. I don't need any more Ventolin and I have being used it  2 puffs every 4 hours for the past 25 years.

I am taking one puff of Breo every 2-3 days and it works better than anything else that I have being trying on my entire life.

Please note: I am eating tons of celery, this vegetable is magic. I think the combination of Breo and celery is amazing and my body is happy.

Please don't forget to rinse your mouth immediately after the puffer otherwise you will have other side effects like sore throat."


"Can't find a med to stop my brain from thinking when I go to bed. Tried temazepam first and it didn't work for 3 hours. Xanax and lorazepam were the  same. But if I stop a sleep aid I will be up until 6 or 7 am with no sleep and  I feel anxious"


"Stats:  26 year old. Female. 110lbs. Struggling with anxiety and panic attacks.

I started Effexor 2 months ago when my panic attacks and anxiety got out of control and I tried to overdose on pain medication.  I am extremely against drugs and it took a lot of convincing on my doctors end to get me on them. I read reviews and got scared away. I wish I hadn't.

I started off with a 37.5 dosage. My initial side effect was losing weight/ my fever appetite. I'm a petite girl but I love to eat. I supplemented this by drinking protein shakes and started working out. I am back to my normal weight now.  A month later went up to 75mg. Absolutely no side effects. Anxiety is much better and no more panic attacks. Also, my sex life wasn't effected at all."


"I just got in a paraguard yesterday so my experience is pretty fresh. I went into my gyno expecting some sort of torture experience thanks to many of the reviews I have read. My advice is to not believe everything you read online. Did the experience hurt some? Sure it was a little uncomfortable, and there was literally TWO SECONDS where I was like OUCH! That's the thing though, it was TWO SECONDS, then the worst was over. My nurse was awesome and let me know exactly what she was doing the entire time, and braced me for some of the more uncomfortable moments. I went in on one of the last days of my period, and also took a pill to soften my cervix the night before. About an hour before the procedure I took 600mg of ibuprofen."


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"Age 51 have been on it at 20mg daily for 10 years. Have had good cholesterol numbers and no side effects at all. Went off and retested - cholesterol, LDL was off the charts so going right back on it. While off didn't notice any changes or improvements in pain, etc. It gets an A  from me."


"I have had my Nexplanon implant in since early 2014. I rarely ever experienced spotting, maybe 2 or 3 times this whole time. Never had a period or pregnancy scare. I am due to have it removed early next year since that will be the 3 year mark.

As of last week I started noticing brown "old blood" after intercourse, not much. By this point I have noticed more blood during intercourse which is off putting at that moment.

I'll be scheduling an appointment with my doctor soon."


"After effects:  brown spider-like veins appeared on treated halobetasol area."


"Started taking Buspirone for anxiety, I am on Effexor XR. The Effexor made achieving an orgasm impossible. It was horrible. However, I couldn't stop because it was helping with my depression.

Buspirone has given me back my sex life. My libido still isn't what it used to be. It is still somewhat difficult for me to remain erect for long periods of time. However, I can have an orgasm. Thank the gods."


"After 4 months I thought I was doing quite well on 10mg Brintellix until I had very bad headaches.  MRI imaging demonstrated I had constricted  blood vessels in my brain a second test showed it had reversed itself. My neurologist strongly advised I discontinue this med because SSRI antidepressants can trigger Reversible Vasoconstriction Syndrome which can cause strokes and brain bleeds.  I started Wellbutrin XL 150mg which doesn't target serotoin I'm told.  I'm not doing as well and sometimes think about taking a chance and restarting Brintellix and at least have a better quality of life!  Depression sucks!"


"This stuff starts working on Day One. Within a couple hours of taking it, I already feel like the congestion has halted and just needs to clear up. Make sure to take the whole pack, but all three times I've ever had bronchitis sneak in during a cold, Zithromax knocks it right out. No side effects for me."


"The cost of this pill is so low for me that I chose this over the Loestrin 24 Fe which is what my sister is on. I figured that saving $14-17 was worth having 3 more inactive pills. So far (2 packs in) I haven't experienced any negative symptoms. I've always had chronic yeast infections based around my cycle and now I don't have that issue since ovulation isn't a problem anymore. I only spot for a day which is nice since I no longer have to drop more money on period supplies. My breasts are perkier, but I haven't had a major change in size so far.

Over all, I am very pleased with this pill. Reading all the negative side effect posts makes me a little paranoid though!"


"One or two tablets does the trick for me."


"I started Beyaz about 6 months ago. The first 3 months were great..no acne..no crying...no anger or crazy mood swings. The last 2 or 3 months have been bad though. My face started breaking out, I am very emotional and angry. I don't know if it's because my pharmacy started giving me the generic version or it's the hormones, but everything was great until recently."


"Didn't seem to do anything apart from making me tired and depressed. When I finally came off the drug it was like I was given my life back. It didn't seem to help the migraines either, in fact it was while I was on the drug that I had the worst migraine of my life."


"I take 900 mg a day for neuropathy in my feet it was Effective at first but in time did not relieve my Pain. I have chronic Pain in my Feet Hands & Back."


"I have broken bone. This helps a lot with moderate pain and makes that go away completely in a short amount of time, but the more serious pain is always barely relieved. All in all, it helps a lot."


"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."


"I took the first dose tonight at 7 pm. It was the most horrid thing I've ever tasted. I gagged several times. I honestly didn't expect it to taste so horrible or I would have asked about ways to disguise the taste or chasers. I see that several people recommend using a lemon wedge, which I will try. I'm also wondering if I can sip juice or ginger ale after each taste? I am a small person, weigh under 120 and I feel like everything has already passed out of my body. Just clear liquid for the past hour. I'm wondering if I need to take the entire second dose in the morning? It seems it would just dehydrate me."


"Latuda is the fastest acting drug for bipolar depression I've experienced, without side effects. I was frankly dubious about ever finding anything that would work. Dr. prescribed it as an add on to Lamictal, which is a slow-acting drug. I took Latuda at 5 PM and the next day I was feeling noticeably better. On my 3rd day and I feel better than yesterday. If all goes well, this could be a miracle drug for me, even though it's too soon to know. It's been months after a mania episode that I've wind-down to a depressed state, that is not severe but has been constant, where I can't even remember the path to a thought pattern that isn't guilty, hopeless, or without pleasure. I've regained a peace of mind required to get therapeutic learned skills"


"Propranolol only takes a matter of minutes until you feel it "kick in" and slow you down.  Watch out for the first time, it's like somebody hits your brakes!  I've been on it for 5 years now and the extended release capsule (160 mg) lasts right at 24 hours on me.  Only big side effect I have is short breath sometimes and impotency at first.  After a few months my body adjusted, I feel normal.  Don't miss a pill though, or you'll feel your heart race and a little anxious.  Benefits outweigh risks."


"I have been getting excruciating migraine headaches since about age ten. I've been on such a long list of medicines that I can't even begin it. I ended up popping Motrin 800mg tablets like they were tic tacs and holding on for three days. Relpax has changed my life, but the price is killing me."


"I have had diverticulitis for year's, have been in the  hospital 3 times with it. Doctors told me it was the foods I ate, I tried to tell them I watch what I eat and don't eat anything that would bring a flare up. Then the last time I was in the hospital the ER doctor put me on Citalopram for anxisty, I had no side affects, things didn't upset me as much anymore. I have been on it for over a year and no flare ups of diverticulitis. I can eat anything now with no problem, this drug may not work for everyone. But for me it saved my life."


"Im not one to review anything online but Duac has changed my skin completely, I had been suffering from acne since my early teens and now aged 24 was fed up and spoke to my Dr who suggested this product. my only regret is I hadn't gone earlier. My skin is now clear of acne and I feel much more confident even leaving the house without makeup something I wouldn't do previously. It does easily bleach sheets, pillows and towels though so be careful."


"I have been taking Humira now for about 10 years. First started as study patient and still continue to take it.  It has been great.  Recently the cost has been the biggest concern.  I have tried to take injections a month at a time rather then two weeks.  I do not suggest this.  Three weeks at a time seem to work great for me.  After that the pain starts to return.  I am currently researching other medicines so I can stop taking this.  The cost is just too high for me.  Currently the only long term affects I have noticed is shortness of breath, hair loss, occasional dizziness and fatigue/insomnia.  I hope this review helps."


"All day , all night the pill made me a hero "


"I used Yasmin for over 5 years without any issues. It had no impact on my weight and cleared my skin beautifully - however perhaps gave it a tendency to be a little too dry. When I stopped the pill acne returned very quickly. It worked without any issues as birth control.
In the last months, however, I developed nausea to the pills - for some reason simply the thought of taking them gave me nausea, and at some point when I had to take two at the same time I threw up bile the next morning. I continued to take the pills for a little while, but the nausea was clearly associated with them, not any other factor, so eventually I had to switch to a different brand and composition. I would still recommened; they were OK for a long time."


"I'm not sure why this is rated so badly! I love this birth control. I've had no problems with my mood and I have been on it for about a year. 2 months after taking it I stopped getting my period. I looked it up and it says that this pill does tend to make your period much lighter and shorter. I had a pretty light period to begin with so this could be the cause. Anyway, no problems with this pill at all!"


"Works for me.  No side effects as far as I can tell.  I use it short term - two-four days until symptoms subside."


"This drug is better than nothing.  I wonder why it is used for severe pain.  It doesn't help stabbing nerve pain.  It helps back pain (herniated disks, arthritis, degenerative disk disease) a little.  Not much help for neck pain either. I need Lyrica for neuropathy and the two give some relief for fibromyalgia and arthritis (along with glucosamine).  My pain level remains disabling."


"Was using Fentanyl patches but they caused me excessive sweating, so got switched to this.  Despite having had a gastric bypass which should have rendered this ineffective for me, my doctor has me take it twice a day instead of once, and it's the best pain medicine I've ever had.  It started working within an hour, and I love it.  Even been on Percocet, which I hated and didn't do anything at all for me, and Butrans, which made me suicidal, and a bunch of others.  This ones the tops!"


"Have been using this for many years to regulate my heart beat as I have mitral prolapse and atrial tachycardia and have found it the best out of others."


"I took this when I was ovulating , I know we were being reckless . I haven't gotten my period it's 4 days late now, and I took two pregnancy test and both came out negative.. Not sure if I worked because I still haven't gotten my period"


"I was put on 2mg Rexulti once a day after my 10mg day dose of Abilify stopped working.  I noticed positive changes on the Rexulti within a week. It does make me tired, so I take it at bedtime along with 60mg of Cymbalta. I am definitely less angry feeling, less moody, and haven't had any crying spells since starting it 3 months ago.  I definitely think it is more effective than Abilify was for me. Has not effected my weight or libido any.  I would say It's working as intended, and 2mg seems to be a good therapeutic dose."


"I understand the good outweigh the bad however, the past few days have been hell. I had honestly one the worst urinary tract infections I have ever had. I need the relief so I am going to continue with the meds. Within 24 hours of taking it, I had horrible diarrhea. I am pale, I keep drinking water. "


"Works better then anything!  Follow directions by Dr!"


"This antidepressant has been a blessing in my life. I was 25 lbs underweight due to depression, and also had speratic sleeping. The side effects are a benefit for me. It makes you hungry, especially after you take it at night. Crave lots of carbs, and have been eating like I have never before. I have gained 11 lbs in just 1 month on Remeron. It also has a nice sedation effect to help with sleep. When I take my 30mg dose at night, I have everything ready because after 45 minutes I can barely keep my eyes open, and then get a great night sleep. Side effects are worse during the first week, and then everything balanced out! If you suffer from sleep and or eating, then Remeron could be the biggest blessing in your life also. It gave me hope."


"Took this medication for a UTI I was experiencing for about 4 weeks prior... Had enough so went to my GP. The first night approx 2-3 hours after taking it at 7pm, I had terrible stomach cramps, bloating nausea. Also seemed to get an associated headache and am not feeling hungry, have lost my appetite which is very unusual for me. Just took my third dose each time I've had the same cramps and abdominal discomfort painful sick sensations.. That last about 5-6 hours. Luckily I've had night shift for 3 nights, but now I have to be up early in the morning and hoping the pains don't keep me awake!! As for effectiveness, not certain yet. But my UTI symptoms appear to be relieved this far."


"Update: 7.5 kicked in, cravings gone, back to being full right away, and forgetting to eat..should keep a food diary. Now down to 163.
I took the 2 week trial and it worked great, no side effects, and I felt great, I went from 185-180 in the 2 weeks, I felt full right away, dehydrated so I was drinking ton's of water, craved no sweets, small portions filled me up fast, now I'm on the 7.5 dosage and I feel hungry all the time, don't feel as dehydrated and the cravings are starting to creep back up. I hope it's a minor set back and it will go away once my system get's used to the higher dosage; insurance didn't cover this so I just shelled out $145.00 for 30 days worth of pills so I hope they work"


"1st prescribed "Valium" upon cancer diagnosis.  GP was concerned about my anxiety and especially my ability to sleep with this news.  He was right, sleep nearly impossible.  Pill worked for me, but initially took 10 mg (especially the first night) to have any effect.  I take half a 5mg (2.5 mg) occasionally for general insomnia (had for 10 years before cancer) and especially at night before surgeries/procedures, (8 in < 2 yrs). Afraid to take higher doses because I react poorly to medicines in general and problems with anesthesia the next day. Have to switch off with another medicine when this stops being effective."


"It's amazing how much more focused my 16 year old son is, since he started his daily 36mg Concerta.  His work effort and work quality is improved dramatically.  Yes, managing his food consumption has been a bit of work.  His appetite is definitely not what it used to be, but we're working on it.  Although it's only been 3 weeks, we are all thrilled with his response.  Good luck to all!"


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for almost a year now. I really haven't had very many side effects with it.

The one thing that's been a major problem is inconsistency with my periods, which was a problem before I started taking birth control too. There have been months when I haven't had a period at all, and others when I've had a period as well as breakthrough bleeding mid-month. I'm switching to a pill with a little bit more estrogen in it to see if that will regulate my period better.

I haven't missed any pills, and I take them within two hours of one another everyday. I was initially really worried about nausea being an issue, so I take them at night - but I've had no problems. I did have some breast tenderness for the first few months, but it's gone now."


"I have been on generic hydroxychloroquine now for 2 years.  I have primary Sjogrens and secondary diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Apparently I had Sjogrens for over 10-15 years before doctors figured it out.  If the Fibromyaligia hadn't hit me 3 years ago I guess I would still be suffering. I take 200 mg twice a day and it has helped me so much.  I use it with Savella for my Fibro pain.  The only problem I have is a slight buzzing or ringing in my ears.  But I can work full time and have a normal life.  Still get occasional pain in feet and legs but all and all feel great."


"New rheumatologist put me on Savalla after my concerns regarding escalating pain, headaches, fatigue and sleep issues.  First diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1997,  but recently seemed as if the mild osteoarthritis I had in my shoulder was galloping through my whole body, even waking me up at night.  Combined with the fact that my vitamin D levels were low, which exacerbates the symptoms, I was a hurting unit.  Now on Day 8 of Savalla at 50 mg morning and evening.  Had no side effects, actually didn't think it was working at all, since I couldn't even tell I was on it.  But I'm noticing a distinct lessening of pain, sounder sleep, and less stiffness in the morning.  I realized today, I think we may be on to something!  Hope the improvement continues."


"My uncle was drinking for over 35 years and after detoxing once before he was doing considerably well.  Things took a down hill turn for him and it took us a while to get him the right kind of help.  Librium is the way to go.  He went from convulsions, shakes, hallucinations - to a few minor discomforts.  By now even those are gone.  Good bless everyone one of you looking for a way out.  It is out there but you must believe in yourself 100%.  "


"I started taking 200 mg of Modafinil a couple weeks ago for debilitating chronic fatigue. It has definitely had a positive effect, although a subtle one. I am more awake, better able to focus and it is easier to overcome the inertia required to start something. I haven't suddenly become energetic or highly productive like others, but there is a subtle difference. Unfortunately it has seriously impacted my sleep. My brain stays awake most of the night even though my body is exhausted. Additionally it gives me a pressure headache behind my eyes, and overall just makes me feel a little strange."


"This medicine has changed my life. I can hardly recognize myself. Much much calmer, not feeling obsessed, maniac or depressed. No racing thoughts. I never thought I could be like that. My life was a chaos. I've tried all different medicines and nothing seemed to help until I tried quetiapine. I am currently taking an antidepressant as well, but it is quetiapine that really makes the difference. I feel like I am fairly normal now."


"It helped me sleep, but only 4 hrs  with 10 mg dosage"


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


"I have been using Budeprion for about 3 months and not only have I quit smoking, it has helped me in other ways mentally.  I would not say that it makes me "happy" but it has given me such moments of clarity/enlightenment."


"I was taking 2 tablets twice a day. I stopped because I realised this prolonged, dull heavy headache was caused by this. It was lasting days, I don't really get headaches and thought it was something separate. It's now Tuesday and I stopped them on Thursday after a week and a half. Still got the headache (which is really bad and no signs of going) , heavy head, light headedness and bad stomach. I've noticed dehydration symptoms too. Stay away from this it's really bad."


"Update. Start using 8/14/17 at 213lbs.  I am currently at 3.0 dosage and I switched to taking the shot in the morning.  I experienced mild nausea, I would eat a couple crackers and that helped the nausea.  I started drinking Slim Fast shakes for breakfast and still at the 1300 caloric intake.  Today September 25,  I weighed in at 197lbs.  So I have lost 16 lbs."


"Had Hep C for many years but didn't worry too much (except to protect others) until my tests (liver function, Hepascore, etc.) began to indicate treatment was in order.  Admittedly, worried about the side effects I (a bit psychosomaticly) attributed every sound of my body, twitch, pain, rumble, headache, discomfort to the Harvoini.  It became difficult to remember exactly how I felt before the pills and even if I could, was whatever problem I had related to the Hep C?  A bunch of things did occur during the 84 days of treatment including one night of night sweats, some real fatigue in the 16-21 day period, Bells Palsy symptoms (all of them), and a few other things which I recalled also sometimes  occurred before the Harvoni. As to the sweating--You know how when you have a cold, after a few days you sweat during the night and the cold is broken.  Colds are viruses. Hep C is a virus.  I decided to interpret the sweats as a good sign the virus is losing ground.

There’s so much more to say but overall my side effects were minimal and  2 months after my 84th  pill I’m undetected and clearly the Harvoini did that, so thank you Gilead.  My advice is unless the doctor tells you, don’t stop.  A couple of months of discomfort is nothing compared to the consequences of Hep C and we’re fortunate we don’t have to endure the interferon regimen of those who were treated in the past.  I wish you all the best."


"I have severe endometroisis and fibroids. Recently I decided to use Nexplanon. I was horrified because I do not like needles. The only pain that I experience was the numbing part with the lidocaine. That burning sensation I did not like. But once the site was numb all I felt was a tugging sensation. It's been three days since I've had the implant, there is a small bruise nothing serious the Dr. did inform me that a bruise would show. When I move my arm in a certain direction it does hurt but it goes away. The site is tender to touch but at least I wont get pregnant. I was previously on the pill so I am not sure if breakthrough bleeding will start now that I am on progesterone only birth control. Praying no bleeding at all. So far so good."


"I have been on the generic sertraline for 3 years. I started feeling woozy so they doubled my dose. I am not woozy anymore but I am always tired. I am wondering if there is something out there that doesn't make me tired that works as well as sertraline."


"Started taking Harvoni Dec.15, 2015. Dr. said I only need 8 weeks of treatment. I take it in the morning after I eat breakfast, was told it is more effective if taken with meal. So far 4 weeks in, I have zero side effects, like taking a vitamin. I start my 2nd bottle in one more week. I am so happy my insurance covered this medication for me. I feel like I have been given a second chance in life and can't wait till I can say I beat this!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I started taking this birth control a while back and then stopped after I completed one cycle.  I did have a little weight gain because of the carbohydrate cravings.  Breast tenderness and bloating were also a factor.  Those were my negatives.  The positives for me were age related.  I am over 35 and a non-smoker.  Therefore, the extra vitamin B and folic acid supplements are excellent.  I did stop taking them after the first trial because of the food cravings.  After a few months, I decided to try them again.  I am on a weight loss plan and have loss weight.  I wasn't significantly overweight from the beginning, but needed to drop about fifteen pounds.  I reached my goal.  My only real concern at this point is will I have the cravings. "


"I was on Zoloft for about 8 years for severe generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. I was eventually maxed out (200mg) and I felt awful. I couldn't feel emotions at all, it was almost like depression but less hopeless. I felt like a zombie. Or a robot. I also had pretty severe sexual side effects as well. Got taken off, and I feel like a real human again. I'm on Wellbutrin now."


"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't on my tension headaches.  Seems to work better than Aspirin and Caffeine alone, but not by much."


"I've been using this since I was 13 or 14 because my periods were SO irregular and it has helped tremendously with that. I wasn't sexually active until earlier this year and I haven't gotten pregnant so far, so that's good! My cramps are manageable and kind of bad sometimes but I try not to take pain killers. Before I was sexually active I had little to no cramps, but I guess sex changes your hormones and stuff. I'm not moody until my period comes which is pretty normal I think. I feel sad that it has such a poor rating on here, so maybe this will give a little balance. I gave it a 9/10 and not a 10/10 because I now get cramps and a little moody, but it's worked really well for me."


"I've RLS for about 5 years. I was on Nupro for about a year and it worked well until the last month, then it was like it made it worse. I've been on Requip for almost 2 years and have had to up my dose a couple of times. I now take Requip ER in the morning around 11:00am, and take a 2mg pill at 8:00 pm and sleep through most nights."


"I am 25 years old and have been using a birth control since I was 14 years old. Therefore I have gone through numerous birth control switches.NEVER in my life have I actually noticed symptoms of a medication than before using this. At first I thought I could have been pregnant. Taking 3 different tests (all which being negative) I realized it had to be from this birth control. I have been on this for one month and today after almost fainting cause I felt so sick. I refuse to take one more pill. Throughout this one month I have visibly bloated in my stomach, my breasts enlarged. I have felt nauseous every single day. My anxiety and depression has been at an all time high,not to mention I am agitated about pretty much anything. DONT RECOMMEND"


"The patches kept coming off after 2 to 3 days. The backing is way to hard and not   enough to peel off 2nd half without touching 1st half of patch causing that part not to adhere to skin. Bayer should really consider 3M's adhesive manufacturing and backing that peels with ease and stays on until removed and in water."


"The first time I had bv I was given cream for 5 days that worked fine, the second time with bv I had pills they were better than cream. 3 rd time with bv pill again for 7 days after day 2 the worst side effects ever had with any meds, only on day 4 and don't want to take anymore pills, metal taste in mouth, constant nausea, head aches I hate this pill but it seem its taking long to clear up. Still having discharge I rather have the cream."


"It was awesome while it lasted but it eventually caused pressure in my spinal fluid and gave me
very severe headaches. I had to go off of Humira. I developed severe Crohn's symptoms and had to have a permanent ostomy. I will soon get a proctectomy also."


"Nerve and back pain."


"I have had psoriasis since I was 4. Been on everything from biologics to light therapy. Stelara cleared me up but not without a price. I m a very healthy,exercise minded individual. Since being on, my blood sugar is off, I have night sweats, swollen breasts, feet, hands, swollen tonsils, and tiredness. My vitamin d levels are also low. Went of stelara for 6 months and every side effect went away. Flared up and went on it again and all symptoms came back!"


"Had such a bad sinus infection that my right eye and face was swelling. Got 875 Augmentin twice daily. On day 2 and swelling stopped and I can see out of eye. Sore throats and nose running because my sinuses are now draining! No GI or side effects. Love it so far."


"I've been on Tri-Sprintec and it has been good for me. I've been getting my period regularly but my skin is very important to me. I've been getting so much more acne than before I started taking it. I am no longer on them. "


"Overall, the medications I was prescribed by the doctors worked pretty well. I had an awful cough for a little over two weeks, constantly coughing up phlegm, and had horrible wheezing. It says online to try and wait it out for two weeks but since nothing was getting better I went to the doctors. I was prescribed the z pack, a 5 day dose of prednisone, and an inhaler. After about 3 days on the medications there was a significant difference. I no longer was experiencing cough attacks and the amount I was wheezing diminished. I've been off the medication for 3 days now, and a majority of my bronchitis is gone. I experienced no side effects with any of the medications and am overall happy with the results."


"I have taken Lactaid fast action twice now ( one week apart ) both times within hours I had diarrhea and vomiting. Won't be using this product again."


"Day 4. No side effects and no reduction in cravings."


"I used Accutane for 3 months and my skin was flawless. Literally one of the best decisions of my life. My doctor told me not to drink but it was my senior year of high school so I still drank a lot on it. I seemed to get drunk quicker. I hope my liver is okay! My skin cleared up then it came back when I got to college, whenever I was stressed I would breakout, but whatever it's still better than it used to be."


"I got diagnosed with ADHD very early in life. They had me an Adderall. I stopped taking It around age 18. Now that I'm 21 and the ADHD is still prevalent I went to get help. They started me on Welbutrin to hell curb the depression and maybe help with the ADHD. I think my depression is cause by the ADHD. Not depression is cause ADHD. The welbutrin hasn't done to much for the ADHD side, but has helped with mood. I'd give a higher rating if this was depression."


"I instantly noticed it took my constant hunger away and lost two pounds after the first week. I just started the 22nd week and feeling a little shaky and hoping it goes"


"As soon as I started taking Portia everyone around me started noticing a huge change in my attitude. In the tiniest minor fights my boyfriend and I would get into after 2 months of taking Portia and we had been together fight free for 5 months, I would start crying out of nowhere. I have been on Portia for 7 months now and I'm depressed all day, I just think of negative things all the time, if something goes wrong whether or not it has something to do with me I immediately start thinking its my fault. As far as acne and weight gain I haven't noticed much of a difference."


"I have cut in half a 2.5 mg daily dose of Amlodipine and that seems to do the trick for the side effects I had with a higher dose,,,I have been on this drug since January, 2016 and my age is almost 74 years old..."


"I was skeptical about trying this medicine but it is actually very good. It's a lot stronger than Lortab. I am pain free. "
