"I'm a teenager with moderate acne, and I  used this product in conjunction with 50mg of doxycycline twice daily for two months. All I can say is, neither of these products helped my skin at all, and I'll say that they probably made my skin worse. The first two weeks on these products, my skin did nothing, got neither worse nor better, but by week 3 my face exploded with acne in places I usually don't even get acne, and for the rest of the two months my skin got no better after that breakout. I even went dairy free in order to hopefully reap the best results from this product, but it didn't work out either way."


"It has helped me to relax and not have as much anxiety."


"Initially effective in dealing with symptoms of depression, six weeks into taking this medication it has lost all effectiveness,even with an increase in dosage."


"I have had migraines for over 20 years, I started using Relpax about a year ago and it works all the time and every time with a single 40 mg dose. This drug is a life saver, I only wish there was a preventative that worked along the same lines as Relplax. It is pricey but I really have no other options. I tried the generic but it did not work, I don't understand the science behind it but only the name brand Relpax works for me. I use generics for all of my other meds and they seem to work fine..... I guess."


"Reduced my overall cholesterol from 288 to 126 in one month.

However, I now seem to have a lot of various pains throughout my body.   Feet, back, etc."


"I recently started taking valtrex again for prevention/treatment of genital herpes flare ups and every time I take one I get a cold sore on my mouth. Didn't take valtrex for a few years and never had a cold sore, I had other outbreaks but no cold sores. I got back on valtrex to control the other outbreaks about three months ago and cold sores have been a constant threat."


"Young teens, I'm telling you, there is hope. I used to have such bad acne all over my face. I was so insecure and always so sad and it was beginning to make me depressed. I didn't even wanna look in the mirror. So I got on amnesteem. I had heard all the "bad things" about what it could do to you, but I didn't care I did it anyways. It was the best choice I had ever made. My skin is so clear I never really get acne anymore maybe one or two every month or so. It's so so so worth it."


"I turn 66. Ext month and while getting my annual flu shot was advised by the pharmacist to get the 1st dose of Prevnar13
Within minutes my arm started to ache and by bedtime it was swollen and quite painful. The next day and following day and still continuing into the second month my shoulders and joints are quite inflamed. It feels like my shoulder joint if deeply injured. Sleep is near impossible on my sides where I normally sleep and still mildly painful lying on my back. I won't get the second shot nest year as this has been excruciatingly painful."


"I took this medication for the best part of a year to treat anxiety and stress and to list a few symptoms of my stress; mood swings, irritability, insomnia, Manic etc.. thus it was having an effect on my relationship. Although I thought at first the medication was working, it in fact encouraged more mood related symptoms to occur more frequently. I didn't realise that it was effecting me the way it was until coming off this medication, which came shortly after a nervous breakdown and the end of a beautiful relationship. Dr's words were; They are renowned for those symptoms!! which is ironic because that is the very reason I sought help in the first place. I just wish I had fully understood the risks, because now everyday I live with regret."


"After trying the pill and realizing that it wasn't for me, I decided to give Mirena a try. My experience with this method of birth control has been nearly perfect.

Here are my pros:
-I no longer have a period. As someone who used to suffer from crippling cramps and extremely heavy flow, this is a blessing.
-I haven't had any symptoms that I experienced with the pill (weight gain, acne, mood swings, hair loss)
-Childless and proud

Cons:
-The day of the insertion, I was slightly crampy afterwards. However, I recovered quickly.

Overall, this is the best form of birth control. 10/10 - would highly recommend."


"Nightmare from the beginning.   Day 1 extreme nausea, dizziness and headaches.  Day 2 was worse,  and had bloody urine.  Stopped taking it."


"I've been on this BC for less than a month, I love it. I'm 5'6" 110 lbs and 23 years old, I workout 6 days a week and have a normal diet, nothing radical. Noticed no weight gain with this pill, no mood swings, no headaches, this has improved my skin and is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, just be sure to set an alarm & take it at the same time each day (I take mine at 10pm) before I go to bed. If you're hesitating, Don't. Give this a shot and stick with it, you'll be happy you did. Cheers!"


"Experienced abnormal continual bleeding once shot was administered- for 4 months. Convenient contraceptive after all !Also experienced rapid weight gain, bloating and fatigue. Wouldn't recommend to friends."


"Weirdest thing this drug! Plus points - it did the job and started to control and relieve pain after 24 hours. BUT.....i had insomnia for three days and the metelllic taste too. MUCH worst was the weird thoughts and depression I got ( which I have no history of family or otherwise ). So, the upshot is to be guarded against using this drug. If you are armed with this information, you can influence your choice. I would strongly suggest use something else. If you have issues with the medication and you arrived at this site the same way I did...at least you now know. And that might put you at ease in some small way"


"I was switched to this birth control pill from the same thing in a lower dosage (1/20). Unlike my last pill, this one did not cause any breakthrough bleeding. However, I had a headache literally every evening on this pill. I was very concerned because these were bad headaches. They soon stoped after getting off from this pill. I like this pill on all other aspects but it's just not worth the horribly headaches."


"The moment I hit 30, my metabolism slowed. Despite working out and eating healthy, I felt bloated after I ate and I was irregular. I really felt like my body was overloaded and not processing things at a normal speed but I felt lethargic and hungry so I was starting to get depressed over the whole thing. I tried diuretics/lax and increasing fiber to no avail and the cramping sucked.

This is making a real difference. I feel leaner and lighter and my joints aren't so overtaxed carrying the extra weight. My energy is way better. It's messy at times and not easy but if you have two weeks of down time where you can be by the bathroom, give this a go."


"I had my Mirena inserted yesterday and yes it was a bit painful.  I had a baby without meds so compared to that it wasn't as bad.  I was nervous before the doctor inserted it, but he was very nice and explained what he was going to do and what I was going to feel before he even did anything.  I had a bit of cramping during and immediately after, but now it has stopped the day after.  I've been having some spotting, but nothing too bad, just enough that I need to use a pantyliner.  It's too soon to post any other symptoms or reviews so I will post later on.  Thank goodness i did not read any review prior to having this put in or I might not have."


"Two tabs (1000 mg) lowered my total cholesterol by 30 points. Added one more tablet daily (1500 mg) which will hopefully put my cholesterol at a 'good' level.  Initial side effects of flushing and weird-feeling was lessened by one baby aspirin 1/2 an hour prior to taking the niacin, but mostly by taking the niacin immediately before getting into bed at night.   Eventually I stopped the aspirin (lots of bruising) and notice that I am no longer sensitive (flushing and weird feelings are gone).  So far it's great, especially since prior to starting I lost 35 pounds, stopped eating red meat and dairy products, and began/continue on a daily exercise (walking) program to no avail in reducing my cholesterol."


"I take it for PTSD and severe anxiety. It's a life-saver for me. I sleep like a baby bear. I have no more instrusive thoughts. It increases my self-esteem  and life is fun for once. It didn't just give me my life back. It's given the life I never had due to 20 plus years of refusing treatment because I thought I could do it on my own through exercise, diet, and positive thinking. The only side-effect I have is regret from not taking it sooner."


"I used to seek out and attempt to prolong manic highs, to the point where I was nearly oblivious to anything outside of the experience of the moment, and I was able to put off duties and worries comfortably in my own psychosis. The antidepressants I had been taking prior (sertraline, Wellbutrin) seemed to exacerbate my manic highs. Seroquel has taken the edge off of the manic episodes, and allowed me to deal with quitting other medicines. It is highly sedating, however I would say it has a very minimal effect on cognition. I was far more concerned with my thought processing while under the influence of 2 anti-depressants and Vyvanse for suspected ADD. "


"I started taking Qsymia at the end of June 2015. I received a card from my family Doctor giving me 3.5 months for FREE. I have done great on the first 14 days and the next 30 days of 7.25/46mg. Loosing a total of 23 pounds. However when I tried to get the next prescription I was told by my pharmacist that I would have to pay an outrageous amount and receive just the $75.00 coupon off. I am extremely disappointed in this company. They offered the free prescription and now refuses to allow you to receive them. I followed everything asked of myself. I know of another collage this has happened too. Same situation. The pills worked for me. No side effects at all. But if you receive a coupon/ free card from your Doctor beware!!!! It is expensive!"


"This was my 5th colonoscopy and 5th different prep. I was happy it was only 16 oz. twice. However, 15 minutes after the 5:00 dose I was physically ill which never happened with the other preps I have used. By 7:30 I vomited after willing it to stay down that long. When the 9:00 dose came along I tried to sip it between 9:00 and 10:00 pm. I got 8 oz. down and literally projectile vomited at 10:00. Nothing else was going down. Like many others I had a headache, bloating, and cramps. Bottom line I was sick from the prep. The nurse the next day said she has heard this from many people and I was possibly allergic to it. I would not recommend this to a first timer. Nor will I ever use it again. I would rather drink the gallon prep."


"I took this medication for nearly two years at the highest dose of 120mg for schizophrenia. It completely helped with my hallucinations and delusional thinking. I had been on 650mg of seroquel previous to starting Latuda and I would still hear voices. I take latuda with a snack at 8pm and I am ready for sleep between 930 - 10pm and sleep well through the night. My only complaint is that it does cause an increase in appetite and weight gain. At this present time I take 900mg lithium, 150mg luvox, 72mg concerta and Latuda dose has been lowered to 80mg. I have noticed that my appetite has decreased. Delusions and hallucinations have not returned."


"I have several chronic back conditions, herniated disc, moderate spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and kyphosis.  I have been taking 5/325 mg Percocet 3-4 tabs daily for almost 2 years now.  It relieves probably 80 % of my pain and allows me to function.  Most of the itching, sweating, nausea, etc. disappears after about a month or so of use.  As most people noted, take the minimum strength needed to relieve your pain, and take only as directed.  At 61, I'll probably be on these the rest of my life, but at least I can function.  I have found Percocet to work better than even Morphine, at least in my case.  Highly recommended for chronic pain."


"it was a good and very helpful to relieve the cough. DONT CHEW IT! i wanted to see what it did and it felt like my throat was swelling up."


"Was born with a skin condition initially diagnosed as PRP but a 2nd biopsy years later (at age 60) said it was psoriasis. 95% coverage and when untreated very bad including cracking bleeding and skin cancers. Dr's tried everything. Was placed on a new drug, Acitretin, when in my 20's. Later it was branded as Soriatain and the cost increased and kept increasing each year. Dosage was 25mg daily. No real side affects except I couldn't drink alcohol (it neutralizes the drug). I also use Medco's Aquaphilic Ointment and Alpha Keri bath oil. Worked great although never cleared completely. Insurance cap too high so had to go off it. Note for new users: Flares for a few weeks before taking full affect, (works from inside out). Give it time."


"Excellent for obsessive thoughts, best depression lift in many years...BUT...I am going off of it after five weeks. The initial side effects I could deal with, the normal headache, grogginess, irritability but then after the fourth week I noticed a rare side effect of edema (water retention) of an average of 2.5lbs a day and on my last days 3-4lbs. It was serious. It also caused extreme sugar/carb cravings. That I can control, the water I cannot."


"OK,  it's only early days,  day 4 to be exact on 50mg morning and night.

It's amazing!  After reading all the horror stories of the tranquilliser effects, zombie like states+cravings.  Its an understatement when I said I was petrified what effect this would have on me.

First day within an hour of taking it, I slept for six hours woke up feeling fine,  refreshed even. Then dosed up in the evening at 9, again, asleep by 11, slept like a baby. 7am Woke feeling energised,  lighter, happier. No drowsiness or brain fuzz!

I feel so much more positive about life in general.

I feel so blissfully normal! Day 4 still napping within 4 hrs of dose for 2 hrs max but I could push through it. And still sleeping all night!"


"Was taking 180mg for 2 weeks and was not getting a decrease in BP. Was really no difference from not taking any meds.  I had heart flutters and body aches where I thought I had one of the worst fibromyalgia bouts ever. Doctor doubled my dose. In one week the body pains/aches worsened, my blood pressure went up, and my heart flutter worsened. Also gave me headaches and my nails have never grown so fast in my life! 1st day off Dilitiazem and my body aches are already going away as are the heart flutters. 3 weeks of unsatisfactory treatment and would not recommend this drug to anyone. Going to Atenolol."


"As a child it helped me at high dose for 6 1/2 years.. Now my son is taking at a high dose it's a night and day difference but also he's having now side effects that limit his function to the point his blood pressure is very unstable and he is having muscle rigidity, tremors, vagal syncope an ER doctor said autonomic instability ... We are lowering now as to be able too add another with less side effects with his arrhythmia which even with me being Autistic Schizophrenic like him challenging to control and watch as he's in full psychosis at this point... But I will say Thorazine is golden compared to the rest and we've tried the rest he likes the calm and it actually stops the parasomnia... But it's just now the serious side effects of this..."


"it helps me"


"Started on 50mg now up to 100mg. The main side effect I am experiencing is tingling and numbness of the face, head and ears. The sensations vary location and intensity, usually peaking in the afternoon/evening 6-8 hours after ingestion. The overall effectiveness of the medication is unclear due to concurrent methamphetamine use, however I am feeling better than I was prior to commencing treatment."


"I also tried 5 to 10mg Prozac. This dose is much less stimulating, doesn't numb up your emotions as much, and can orgasm more easily than 20mg. Orgasming and feeling my emotions are too important to me to go higher than this dose. This lower dose is just as effective for my anxiety, stress, and depression as the 20mg was. This dose also helps with headache prevention, IBS, PMS, SAD, CFS, poor immune function, and body aches caused by chronic infections such as Epstein Barr."


"I got my arm implant in June 2015 and it was awesome bc it did its job well. I had heavy bleeding for 2 weeks after, terrible headaches and mood swings and i noticed some weight was packing in. Around October 2015 I stopped having my period altogether, it was wonderful but I had gained 15 pounds. The amount of weight gain (25 pounds in total) made me choose to get it removed asap."


"Had a bad cold for a few days so I went to the doctor for a check and she prescribed me chertussin (guafenesin with codeine) to help me get some restful sleep.  Took the first 10 ml dose and 45 minutes later my heart is pounding and my face and arms feel really warm. Don't like the heart pounding and won't be taking any more of this stuff. I'll switch back to my Delsym that doesn't work quite as well but doesn't make me feel like my heart is going to explode."


"I have been on Topiramate 25mg for 1 week to be exact and have lost 8lbs as of this morning. I feel this has been my savior. I have always been healthy (no high blood pressure, no diabetes, no High Cholesterol) however I've always been obese and worked towards trying to rid myself of the weight in efforts to prevent myself from getting those diseases in the future. This has given me the kick start I need. It reduced my cravings for sweets and carbs as well as suppressed my appetite. I do eat 3 meals a day (or at least I try to when I can remember) but for the most part, I have the same amount of energy, I sleep AMAZINGLY, and haven't had any major side effects as others have mentioned. All good here!"


"Worked very well for me. I have been taking other sleep medications but this one is by far the best. Going to buy 3mg pack."


"Don't take on an empty stomach!  Always works great for me!"


"Hi there I decided to come on a write a review for this product because I see a lot of negative reviews. Nobody really takes the time to come on and review something when they really love it. I have been on the nuva ring for about 6 months now and I love it. I'm anemic and have endometriosis, so my periods are EXTREMELY painful. And the nuva ring takes care of all of that. It's very effective in preventing pregnancy. I see some people talk about blood clots. It's a risk in ANY birth control. You must maintain good general health with any hormonal substance. I also saw people complaining they could feel it or it was coming out. To be honest you can't just put it in like a tampon, you have to completely lay on a bed and relax yourself."


"Makes me VERY drowsy."


"Very hard to manage diarrhea while taking the antibiotic.  Very tired and stomach was distended.  "


"The pharmaceutical group that developed this treatment is trying to recoup their cost in 1 year, they are a greedy group as they all are and should be called out. Disgusting."


"My daughter was 15 at the time and was given Oratane. Certainly it worked temporarily for the acne but as a result of this horrible drug she developed irritable bowel syndrome. It has been a year off it and things have NOT returned to normal. She was referred to the hospital and the specialist told us that recent research shows that this drug can cause perforation of the bowel."


"I’ve always had heavy painful periods. Found out that I had a very thick uterine lining and needed a D&C hysterscope and they recommended the Lilleta IUD to help with bleeding and pain. So I had the procedure and IUD implanted on a November 3rd, 2017. My period was 3 days late : it was due to come on November 6 but it came on November 9th and here it is November 27th...19 Days later and I am STILL bleeding. I’m literally miserable . My cousin who also had it done said that it will eventually stop but I’m beyond ready for that day to come!"


"I first tried this drug about five years ago and have been on it consistently for two to three years.  The good: this drug really changed my life.  I'd tried a laundry list of antidepressants and they were mostly like popping sugar pills--they didn't do much at all.  My psychiatrist suggested adding Abilify and it did something that no drug had ever done for me: it stabilized my mood (which was all over the map) .  It allowed me to be happy and productive for the first time ever in my adult life.  The bad: I have consistently gained weight every year I've been on the drug, with no sign of a plateau.  I'm experimentally discontinuing it to see if I can lose the weight (which is, counter-productively, making me depressed again)."


"I am on my 2nd dose, and no side effects at all.  I haven't lost interest in food, like I was hoping because I need to lose weight. I have not been sick or anything, and my daily readings have not gone down by much.  I almost wonder if its really getting inside of me when i inject it (Being funny there).  I hope it starts to do something, I am on the lower dose, so maybe I need the higher one.  I go for a follow up in August, I will know more then"


"Halfway through month 3 on this and not sure what to do. First two months consisted of most of my time break through bleeding, then during the time which I was supposed to have my period I had none. I also have been experiencing extreme agitation followed by periods of sensitivity and crying--neither of which is normal for me. Also, my boobs have swollened up a cup size and are always sensitive. Skipped my placebo pills second months and started third pack because I had already spent so much time bleeding. Symptoms have lessened but now it seems I am experiencing loss of appetite and sex drive. Not sure if I will continue on to try month 4. This pill has my moods swinging so much that I'm questioning my sanity since I've started them in Aug"


"To Socanxiety. I have been on EffexorXR for over 10 years. (I also have short term memory loss so my doctor put me on Concerta, 36 mgs, which is the lowest dose and it is helping!) I am 59 years old and am happy and less anxious with taking effexor 225 mgs a day. I take 75mg pill before bed and am less anxious when I get up. Then I take the 150mg capsule in the morning. I still have times that I have anticipatory anxiety and use 10 mgs of Valium which helps. I am hoping when we retire and move south that I can lower the Effexor. Great med and I have tried many over the last 20 years!!"


"I love this! A few days ago I was severely constipated and I took this today and within 5 minutes I was in the bathroom. Gave me the squirts but it's better than feeling like your holding a brick back there!"


"This pill is ok. But it causes severe cramping. And mood swings. Irritability and crying  seem to be a big issue I couldn't deal with. I was hungry all the time. Severe abdominal bloating was associated. Not sure if it was water weight or what. But I eat well. Normally no sugar in my diet. Run 2 miles a day 5 days a week and a ton of water. But this pill made me gain weight.
After 6 months I got off and have switched to nuvaring. I love it no side effects this far."


"On Day 1.  Felt a little out of it but some how relaxed.  I've yawned most of the day and woke up promptly after 8 hours of sleep.  Glad I will be able to make it to work on time.  A little ringing in the ears.  Otherwise so far so good.  I've been afraid of SSRIs for sometime now.  Had a manic spell with Effexor (SNRI) a few years back.  Doc ramped me up on Lamictal first just in case.  Doxepin to sleep as needed."


"I've tried almost every antidepressant. I read the reviews on Lexapro and was prepared for a rough introductory period. I was pleasantly surprised that I felt better than ever...not suicidal, no general anxiety issues, I even felt like I could stand up for myself and not be a doormat. But after the first 6 weeks, I started feeling numb in my heart (you know, no true emotions) and became a cold, mean person. Not to mention the sexual side effects, making it even harder on my marriage. I've backed off of it now to try yet another pill, so I'm suicidal and severely anxious and depressed again, but I haven't felt any other emotions yet."


"Do not take this birth control pills!! very first two weeks of pills, It started to itching on my lower legs and I immediately stop taking them because the itchiness become severe and left me with scarred on my lower legs so bad that I couldn't even wear short during the summer time now. After 2 months of stopped taking these pills, Im still getting itchiness and now I need to go see a dermatologist for my  skin condition problem. I have never break out on my legs before. I called manufacture company of Jolessa for the side effects and they just took my statements and Nothing has been resolved. I'm very unhappy with this product!!!"


"I felt like I was drowning.  Took one pill and within 30 minutes I could breath again."


"I was prescribed Finacea gel 15% roughly 2 years ago for my Acne and Perioral Dermatitis. It does absolute wonders to reduce the papules and pustules associated with PD. Sometimes I’ll stop using the finacea and it only takes my skin a week to start breaking out again with horrible puss filled demons. Using the Finacea consistently keeps these spots at bay but after using for a month straight I tend to get blackheads where I’ve applied the gel. For this I use Retin-A to increase my skin’s turnover. I apply the Finacea in the morning, with the retinoid at night. This combination leads to wonderful skin. Combine this with any Avène moisturizer and you’ll be well on your way to perfection."


"Probably the worst drug i've seen for anxiety."


"I wouldn't have been here without Xanax. Been on them 16 years. The only medication that helps me. I have generalized anxiety disorder, Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and Bi-Polar 2 disorders. I still fight depression but I have come from the point where I could not even walk out of the house to where I can function normally every day. If not abused, this is truly a miracle. It also does more for my depression than any other medications I am on. Unfortunately its half life is fairly short. I have been on the same dosage ( 3 x 1mg a day ) for years and I "fight" a lot of my emotions before taking one. So, I have not become immune to its effects. Some days I only take 1. I do not want to go back to where I was before. "


"I have been battling with bacterial vaginosis (bv) for 4 years. I got it when I was pregnant from my son and the doctor misdiagnosed me and gave me diflucan for yeast infection. Taking metronidazole for 7 days twice a day cures the infection. However once you finish the metronidazole you will get a yeast infection. You must then take 2 diflucan pills to counteract the yeast infection . Also once you have sex you will get the bv again. I found a very good antioxidant called opc3. I take it along with other vitamins. It is sold in a powder base and this has helped me a lot. "


"I took this medicine at night and when I got up in the morning my lips had a white film on them and I pulled it off. I looked in the mirror and there was this white film on and inside my mouth.There was a thick coating on my tongue that resembled spongy like material. I stopped taking the medicine."


"I had a stent put it for an obstructed kidney stone and developed a UTI was completely miserable went to my local ED and was given Rocephin I felt better by the time I was discharged. Never had an antibiotic work that fast."


"Update: Been on phentermine for one month-lost 11 pounds. Reduced sugar intake drastically, drinking only water. Continuing exercising 3-4 times a week. Wish I could lose faster but slow but steady is working."


"Pregabalin numbs a little bit my pain, and improves my anxiety and sleep. However, i have to take hydrochlorothiazide, because the "preg" causes swelling. 450mg/day"


"After the VA diagnosed my concern as COPD they gave me Combivent 4 times a day and I had to use a rescue Albuterol in between that. It was very discouraging. The doctor then sent me Symbicort 80/4.5 the first day was a miracle. I can shovel snow, walk my dog 1/2 mile and have not touched the rescue once. Not sure of any side effects yet as it has been only a week but the BEST week in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone who can use it."


"Second time on Tamiflu, and exactly the same experience...awesomeness!!! This time around I started getting sick at 4am...bathroom issues and severe nausea "


"When I use doxy, prescribed by my dermatologist it works well with occasional breakouts...problem is when I stop using, and Dr makes me stop after being on for 3 months, go off for 1..well...my face explodes! Severe acne all over..I'm 40 yrs old and am SO exhausted over trying to clear up my face. Thank goodness I can cover up with make up. Also I use Retinol..Ziana and a face wash also prescribed by Dr at the time! Frustrated."


"I constantly worry about everything, causing me lots of anxiety. Cymbalta has helped me so much!!"


"So far, not so good. Today is day number 4 of the starter of the Qsymia, and I have noticed no difference in my appetite at all. I was hoping to at least have some curb if my appetite but I haven't. Thankfully, though, no side effects, either. I will give it another month after the dose gets increased, but right now I can't say I'm impressed with this medication."


"I thought SuPrep was fine. I had heard horror stories about other preps and this was not so bad. Also I took advice and used the very light colored Gatorade to help get it down. My doctor allowed me to also drink chicken broth. So the whole process was way less awful than I had feared. It all went faster than other prep methods I had heard about."


"My worst problem with this pill was the weight gain. 15 pounds in 2 months. No change in diet and I have been excercising more - another issue was the breakout bleeding for no reason. I had one month where I had a week of bleeding (7 full days ) then 7 days off, then another 7 days of bleeding - again for no reason, pill taken at the same time daily, etc. I am going off of this after 4 months. I think everyone reacts differently but my doctor said this pill specifically did not have these side effects and I think I could deal with the insomnia ( although annoying) but unfortunately I cannot afford a whole new wardrobe and the weight gain is unacceptable."


"I am 2 days shy of the full dose, I've been on Contrave for just about 3 weeks. My take:

I've lost 10 lbs so far.

My depression is now very well-controlled - I am on Viibryd, which affects serotonin, and to add Contrave's affects on norepinephrine and dopamine, means I have felt almost no depression, very serene (most of the time)

Some bowel side effects, which Miralax really helped

No craving for fatty, fast food

Almost no alcohol craving

Throwing up if I did combine fatty food and alcohol

Low appetite- only eat when really hungry

Has not helped my anxiety

Bottom line? I feel better than ever, am completely hopeful for continued success on Contrave, and I would recommend it to everyone!!"


"The taste of Flagyl is simply abominable. It should be encapsulated. Been taking it a week with CIPRO. Stomach grumblings sound like a flatulent trombone lasting for 10-seconds at a stretch. "


"Long time OCD suffer, has relief after 30 years. I now know what resting before bed is. There is one draw back, if I run out of medicine I get sick. Well, the results out way this problem and I do know how to handle it (try not to run out)."


"The $46 spent on the pill was worth it!

My boyfriend and I had sex a day or two after my period ended. Condom broke. Took Plan B within 45 minutes. From what I've read, the sooner you take it the better. 6 days later I get a period again, it was light and lasted all day. The next two days it was brown discharge and that was that.

I missed my regular period date weeks later and started freaking out. I even had a dream my boyfriend and I having a baby. Way to add on to my stress.

I bought four pregnancy tests from dollar tree. I tested two and they were both negative. Finally I got my period a week late and I'm here writing to let you know it does work. Don't freak out but I'm sure you still will. It's okay!"


"I'm using these eye drops, to get rid of redness, in my eyes, due to dry eye syndrome.  While I do like how it works, it is way too expensive, at 45.00 a copay, and I have very good health insurance. "


"I have been on 80mg Oxycontin for five years. I have had four major back surgeries in the past four years. The Oxycontin has helped me lead as normal life as possible, until they changed them. They don't work even near as they used to. Now my pain really has jumped from a five to a possible eight on the doctor's pain scale. "


"This medication works great, my cycle has never been regular but on this I can pinpoint the day I start and end my cycle. I do get headaches the first day I put on my new patch so i just take Advil as a preventive and that seems to do the job.. most of the time. This does help control acne as well, and have not experienced any weight gain and I have used it for over a year and a half. The patch site can itch but my skin seemed to get used to it after a month or so. I use it on my lower back above my pant line and switch sides weekly. This seems to be the best spot, except when I get asked what it is. lol! I was on the Depo shot for a year and absolutely hated it, and can't remember to take a pill daily so this is a GREAT alternative."


"Ropinerol works for my jumpy legs, but I had to start taking it earlier and earlier.  Now believe me side effects are real.  I became reckless with money - my credit score dropped from 700s to 500s. I started to gamble so bad I would gather all the change in the house just to be able to play the slots.  I would gamble instead of paying the mortgage."


"I have been on 3 different types of birth control since I was 15, I am now 21 and I wanted to be able to skip my periods so my doctor put me on Marlissa and then they discontinued so I got switched to Portia.. I was only on Portia for just a month and I hated it!! I wa every moody and felt sad.. I was hungry and it made me very very bloated.. I was getting bad migraines as well. The worst was when I got my period.. it started off not normal than what it usually is for me and it was the worst cramps I have EVER experienced! I suggest to try a different birth control like Tri-sprintec or Tri-Linyah (which I am now on)"

"3 months ago I started experiencing numbness/tingling in my left leg, I ignored it. As time went on, the numbness took over the entire left side of my body with my head and neck full of pressure/tingling. My Gyno advised me to see a Neurologist and all the tests came back fine. I called the Gyno once again and when I got a different Doc on the phone, they advised me to get off of Tri-Sprintec, as that is one of the rare but dangerous side effects of this birth control, possibly leading to stroke. The next morning, I woke up with none of the sensation and I was shocked that it was gone so quickly. Don't wait as long as I did to tell someone. Get it taken care of as soon as possible."


"I'm on 200mg per day and it has made me a lot more stable.  Although I still have anxiety and mood swings, they don't last for long anymore.  The majorly annoying thing is that my short term memory is poor, my vision has momentary problems and I get random dizzy spells.   All in all though, it is definitely the best drug I've been prescribed for my rapid cycling bipolar disorder"


"100 %APPROVAL..... 6 hrs after taking this,  I felt 98 % better. Almost normal. I can't tell cause I feel great but friends from the Congregation say they see it in my eyes a bit, that and a small head ache. Nothing bothersome if I wasn't reclining way back to type this. I've used this medication a few times over the years. And averaging between the other antibiotics, it is uncomparable. It has always worked, as as always like  with this time got around 2 and took it. I felt like DEATH this am,  but now feel well enough tonight to go to a meeting  at my congregation...    For a 5 day course ......."


"I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia which has spread to my brain. This medication helps so much with the agonizing pain. However, even though I am a terminal cancer patient.  The Government, Insurance Co. and also pain management promised I would  NOT suffer. But I am. Thanks to all, plus the persons involved by ABUSING pain medications. I, a dying cancer patient will suffer without ANY pain meds. I was a former medical student high honors on the Deans list. Due to the Government, I, a future Physician will not live to treat patients with respect, dignity, empathy or sympathy. This medication, I will never have again. Due to the Horrible pain 24/7, I have had 3 heart attacks. My feeble weak body can no longer tolerate pain. It worked well."


"I have been taking 40mg of Nexium twice a day for about a year.  Prior to that I was taking a single 40mg dose per day, however I began to have more problems with acid reflux.  I began to lose my voice and had frequent chest pains.  The doctor doubled my dose and it seems to have helped.  No more chest pains and my voice is normal again.  I did everything the doctor suggested, I don't eat or drink things that would make it worse.  I elevated my bed, stopped drinking coffee, etc.  Now seeing reports on television how taking Nexium for long periods can increase the risk of heart attacks, heart failure, and now dementia, my concern level is high.  I'm just wondering what other people have done to help cut back on Nexium.  thank you."


"I'm 45 years old and scheduled  for total  hysterectomy for Fibroid cysts. While waiting for surgery date and having horrible, unbreabe pain while passing huge blood clots the doctor on call prescribed Tranexamic Acid 2 three times a day. Within 20 mins of the first dose, I had relief from pain!! Now on my third day and bleeding has substantially subsided and most importantly the pain is gone! I experienced no side effects. These were an answer to prayers!"


"My Dr. put me on 25mg to help me sleep and stop unwanted thoughts as a result of marital stress. I was experiencing a knot in my stomach and episodes of weeping.  Since starting this medication, I feel so much happier, rested, relaxed.
I had diarrhea for the first 2 days, but it was mild. I am not feeling out of control anymore.
I think when my marriage issues are over, I will stop taking it.  This medicine has really come through!"


"I was started out on 5mg of Buspirone twice daily and was then increased to 10mg about 2 months ago. I don't know if it's just not a high enough dose for me, but I haven't really noticed that much of a difference. I also haven't had any side effects from it that I can tell."

"I had intercourse for the first time with my partner after inserting the Estring.  I was well lubricated but was a little irritated during and afterwards.  It even burned a little when I urinated afterwards.  Hopefully, this will be a one-time experience.  I'm contemplating removing the Estring the next time."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I suffer from chronic constipation and then severe diarrhea. I had to take the golytely for a colonosopy. It was awful!! They told me to start taking laxatives on Friday.I had to take  2 on Friday,  Saturday and 2, 2 hours before the prep. So I only had 3 glasses before it happened! Lol! The directions said to stop once the stool was clear. It worked very well I only had to drink half if it (thank god!) I had severe nausea and close to emesis each time I had to drink that foul drink! I will never do it again they better get what they need!"


"I'm updating; it has now been a month with Kyleena.. Insertion was really the least of my worries and it went over painful, but very fast. My period started 3 days after insertion and lasted about 4 days - very light and no cramps at all (usually I'm cramping quiet heavy!). But ever since I experience spotting, very light, only noticeable when wiping but still, I really hope this will stop soon. I haven't noticed any other side effects, but I will for sure track my weight and see how my Skin changes. I've already gotten my sex drive back, which I completely lost with the nuva ring. Now only the spotting has to stop and I'm totally happy with this IUD."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I read all the reports and was really scared to take the medicine. I used a hair clip on my nose even to open the bottle. I diluted it with water that was naturally flavored with citrus. I still do not have any idea what it smells or tasted like. It was a lot of fluid but it started working ibefore I finished the first glass of the same sparkling water after the first dose. I had no nausea or anything but a little bloating. I did get slightly cold especially my extremities. It's not fun not eating and getting up at 2am for the second dose but not that bad considering what cancer does and how radiation, chemo for a year and surgery makes one feel. I know because my husband had colon cancer before he was fifty."


"only gives me 4-6 hrs. of sleep per night.  Was hoping for 7-8.  Take 15 mg. with 10 mg. Melatonin and .25 mg. Xanax at bedtime"


"I can't share much YET because I literally started this medication last Sunday (today is Thursday).  Only have two complaints - the cost is the first one!  I hate that insurance won't cover this, and #2 (something I see no one else complain about!) is constipation!  It's awful.  Just a few days in and I do take Colace every day, plus I also take Miralax.  I even took senna tablets last night and nothing.  Ugh!  That's so uncomfortable.  I haven't weighed myself yet, I will do it this Sunday and see if anything has been lost one week down."


"The positive effects of this drug were negated by the adverse side effects I experienced, which included about five episodes of urinary incontinence and slowed motor coordination (my speech and movement were noticeably delayed to the point that I was taken off Risperdal because of this).  I would recommend using this medicine to treat acute episodes as needed and not on a long-term basis."


"Update.
Its been 1 year  6 months when I first tried the generic brand of Lamisil" ( you can read my story in past comments) I  was on the medication for 3 months.
I can say my 9 toes are clear , one big toe 98% clear .
Just do it!!.
Can wear sandals now, walk the beach barefoot with my girlfriend, no more embarrassment."


"I have been on Victoza for 6 1/2 weeks now. I started at the 0.6mg dosage for one week and now use 1.2mg daily. The only side effects I've experienced was mild heartburn for the first few days, but even that went away. I only eat half as much as I used to, and the small appetite makes it easier to make good food choices when I do eat, however I haven't lost any weight. NONE. That's very disappointing to me, but my sugars are where they're supposed to be so I'm still happy with the medicine. Most people do not include their starting weight, so maybe all the dramatic weight loss is from a heavier starting weight? I started at 207lbs and, unfortunately, I'm holding."


"Lortab allows me to work a physical job.  Without it, that would be impossible.  It does not remove all the pain, but it helps with the severity of the pain.  I am careful that I do not overuse it."


"I get bv every few months because I have the mirena. Iv'e used the metro pills and gel, they don't work. I took this ( 4 pills x2days). It made me feel so sleepy and dizzy when I woke up the next day, I had to call out of work! It made me that sick. So my doctor prescribed 2pills  daily for 7 days. On my third day, haven't gotten any symptoms from the medicine yet. Hope this time it will clear it up finally for good..."


"I was first given this birth control when I lived in the UK (under the name of Microgynon 30) for my severe Endometriosis. I take a pill every night and do not take any inactive pills for the week you usually have your period. Since I take Levlen everynight, I have stopped my period and no longer have one. Bliss! I have no more Endo pain or any associated side effects. Even though I have been thrown into "medically controlled menopause", I have no menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and so on. For the first two months I had break through bleeding, but now going on 2 years I have none. I have had a wonderful experience with this birth control and it has completely made my Endometriosis symptoms disappear."


"I'm 24. Married. No children. (still enjoy shopping sprees for myself only and wanted to guarantee that for the next 5 years)

Insertion: Nov. 16, 2011. Awkward/painful but mostly uncomfortable for less than 30 seconds. Never felt my cervix and uterus being touched so it makes sense.

After: Followed by 2 hrs of intense, painful, crying cramps (and I don't cry easy). Then 6 weeks of non stop spotting. Very light but annoying because I had to use a panty liner.
Now: LOVE IT! No gain in weight. No acne. No cramps. Still no period. I was scared of weight gain and acne stories but DR assured me after years of experience less than 5 women had those symptoms and due to postpartum depression (not my case at all)."


"After suffering the worst migraine of my life (lasted 4 days) I went to my family doctor who sent me to the emergency room. There I was given 3 separate injections in my buttocks...morphine, dexamethasone sodium, and metoclopramide HCL. I had no side effects and felt wonderful within an hour of the injections. At my follow up appointment with my Penn State Hershey doctor, she prescribed Reglan (Metoclopramide) for me to take at the onset of every migraine. I have done this on approx 6 occasions, and I have yet to have migraine. Thank you to the emergency room doctor."


"I have the most horrible experience with ALL antibiotics....they make me feel worse than whatever I have!  Was prescribed Avelox for my pneumonia and within 24-hours all symptoms had abated and lung function had returned to normal. Best of all I experienced zero side effects!   Have since has pneumonia a second time  and was prescribed Avelox and had it was like "Groundhog Day".  Powerful antibiotic but works extremely well!"


"My period usually comes on towards the end of the month. N my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on the 2nd and I took the pill that same day. The 8th of that month my period came on ( it came early ) n by the 15th it was still on and I was a lil worried because its been 8days that my period has been on. The 16th came and it went off but the 18th came and I started bleeding again. It's like I'm having a 2nd period "


"I have been on (Zoloft) for 6 weeks now and have noticed a big difference in my mood and panicking. I have only had 3 panic attacks since I have been on it! Which is a good thing for me because before I started it I was having panic attacks all day everyday. I have only had night sweats other than that nothing major! I started out on 25mg just like everyone else and after 1 month they increased it to 50mg and I think that 50mg has helped me a lot. No more panic and no depression. Life is getting a lot better thanks to the Zoloft I would highly recommend it. Good luck to all."


"I am posting this review a few days after my last one... Before I gave it 10 points for its effectiveness. Yes, it helped my son, but at what price... He started having nightmares and was very aggressive toward me and my husband. I was not aware of this side effect, but once I started researching everything made perfect sense. We stopped the medicine after taking it for 3,5 days. I will never give it to my children. I am ready for another flu, not this medicine. It is way to strong! In older children it can even lead to a suicide. Please don't repeat my mistake and do not give it to your loved ones."


"Had my endo and colonoscopy at 730am. Started taking first dose at 730pm night before. It took an hour to work with a bit of cramping nausea. It kept working for the next three hours. Took second dose at 2am. Almost vomited due to nausea and spent the next couple hours at the restroom. Second dose works faster. The hardest part is taking so much water within the hour.  For those like that are worried about the actual procedure or sedation. Don't be ...the procedure is the easiest. Good luck to everyone."


"I'm 15 and have been using this for just under a month. The first week it made my face really red, dry and itchy but I just used some moisturizer and hour after I put it on, or just put up with it. Now after a few weeks it does not burn or anything, pimples have cleared up so much! I have not even consistent in using it as it is the holidays but lately I have been and they are already clearing up! I have pimples all over my face, my forehead and temple have pretty much cleared, just waiting on the chin. Along with a good cleanser this stuff is amazing!"


"Horrible side effects. Purchased 90 day supply and can't finish them. Waste of money and doesn't work."


"I suffer from recurring UTI's. It's not uncommon with post menopausal women who are still sexually active. This drug has been amazing. Taking one directly after intimacy can prevent the UTI from occurring, but when it does, I feel relief after the first dose and in a few days its gone. Since I'm allergic to the standard treatment of sulfa based drugs, I'm grateful to have this. Keep in mind that everyone reacts differently to any medication. While one person tolerates it well, another can't. So don't dismiss it without trying. I have never had the slightest side effect with nitrofurantoin."


"My husband went through 48 weeks of this therapy. It started off good, undetectable early, then 6 months after completion of the therapy, the HCV returned and it did so times 2. He still has side effects from this medication. He was recently asked if he wanted to retreat."


"I was on this medication for one month and have never felt worse in my entire life. Before taking this pill I was an energetic and positive person. Now I am exhausted all the time and hit a wall at 4:00 every day. My confidence has plummeted and I am experiencing extreme mood swings/anxiety/depressive symptoms. I have never experienced anxiety prior to taking this birth control and I have had multiple intense panic attacks within the past month. Other side effects have been increased heart rate, tight chest/trouble breathing, & chronic headaches. I was put on yaz for my acne and it did help in some sense, but it is not worth feeling like crap 24/7."


"I was prescribed hydromet for a flu related cough. It did great for taking care of my cough, but the vomiting, itching, headache and light sensitivity that I have as side effects isn't worth it for me."


"Was on Lexapro back in 2009 and it helped me a lot. I had a lot of stress and minor depression. I went off it a few months after I started because I felt so good, and that was a bad idea. I recently started taking it again and as of right now I'm going through some bad side effects. I normally don't feel bad at home but I'm stressing out. Can't eat, have a minor headache and I'm anxious as well. I hope this feeling ends soon."


"I tried for 2 months to adjust to hydrochlorothiazide.  Immediately my legs hurt and felt like jelly, also my energy levels were so low I hardly felt like getting out of bed.  I also noticed a lot of hair loss in my brush. My blood pressure went form 210/120 down to 140/78, and my edema was entirely eliminated. Hydrochlorothiazide definitely did it's job, but I was in constant pain and so tired I couldn't function normally, I thought something was really wrong with me until I decided I'd had enough and intentionally skipped a dose and couldn't believe how much better I felt the next day.  I'm going back to my Doctor to change to something else!"


"I have extreme insomnia and I've taken everything that's is suppose to help you sleep since I was  14yrs old. Please see a professional for your insomnia because OTC sleep aids don't work most of time n you can do damage to ur internal organs by taking more n more. Lunesta BEST EVER!"


"I've been on Nexplanon for 5 months. I was loving this form of birth control until now. I've been bleeding for almost 2 months and I've been feeling very tired."


"I started Deplin after having genetic testing And learning I had gene mutation.  After 3 days of 15mg of Deplin I developed a raised red rash on both checks.  From day one I noticed A huge difference in my mood and depression.  I have tried probably 30 anti depressant over the years.  After researching online I plan to get the 7.5mg dose and cut it in half and start at a smaller dose.  As for now I am stopping it until my rash clears up once clears up I will start taking half of a 7.5mg tablet.  Hopefully I won't get rash from that lower dose.  But definitely recommend especially if you treatment resistant depression."


"I have been on some form of SSRI medication for 14 years. My last experience was with Zoloft. I was on it for a year and it made me eat to much, smoke to much and I wanted to sleep all the time. I gained about 10lbs on it. After doing some research I told my Dr. I wanted to try Wellbutrin. I've been on it for three weeks, I quit smoking, have lost weight and feel like the energizer bunny. I am more focused as well. I'm actually feeling emotions. Looking back Zoloft made me feel like a zombie. Wellbutrin is a miracle for me, I feel like myself again. Just wished I tried it years ago."


"After suffering from anxiety and depression for over 30 years, I finally found a medication that helps me feel better. No side effects or weight gain. "


"I'm still in the early stages of taking XYREM (week 6), but it has changed my life. I almost never take naps, and have had my narcoleptic episodes significantly reduced.  I get around 8 hours of sleep every night, and can stay awake with no issues all day. Sometimes in the morning I feel a little groggy, but can't get back to sleep which i'm sure is just the medicine wearing off as it goes away shortly after I get up and about."


"Worst night of my life. Used this product to hopefully relieve myself of the YI symptoms by morning so I could go to school. Used it around 12 and it's now 4am and I have not slept at all!!! The burning and itching is terrible and making me extremely swollen!! Soooo uncomfortable ):my poor vag. Ladies, avoid this stuff or else you'll suffer a sleepless night of pain and suffering ): wouldn't even recommend to my worst enemy. Nobody deserves to feel like cutting their vulva off"


"I see all of the bad reviews and information that is not really the way things work for me. So in the year of 2000 after being injured causing permanent disability eye doctor introduced me to Lortab 10 milligram and oxycodone 5 milligram. By the end of my pill habit was on over 1000 pills a month and tried many different narcotics to help with my pain that really was just helping with my addiction. I was very scared. Just take Suboxone. I had to take Suboxone because Florida's Crackdown on over prescribing. Don't be scared to take Suboxone. I took my first Suboxone wow I couldn't believe it I was sober and not feeling like I was dying"


"I have a motility problem after some of my bowel was cut out after diverticulitis. Then 2 Hernia's repaired.
I have no sense of needing to go to toilet at all.
I have to take either Lactulose or Magnesium sulphate to empty my bowel twice a week.
I prefer Lactulose, it's easier on my bowel it doesn't make my bowel as sore as magnesium.
I take 60ml of lactulose single dose twice a week. Sure there is some flatulence but it works fine."


"My GP prescribed Klonopin 0.5 for severe social anxiety and tremors. I've been taking it for a week, and my anxiety is 90% gone. The only downside is that it takes 1-2 hours to kick in, but it lasts a while after it starts working. Great drug for anxiety and tremors! Highly recommended!"


"I was on insulin but couldn't get my A1C down.  It was 8.9 so she put me on Jentadueto and Victoza.  The first 2 days I was really sick. 3rd day (today) I vomited so bad I was about to give up then decided to try taking the Victoza at bedtime instead of morning. Will see if it works.  The first day I didn't eat a thing.  It totally makes you not want to eat ANYTHING.  I actually had to force myself to eat a banana this morning and that's when I vomited.  I hope these side effects go away because I think this is the right medicine for weight loss. I'm still taking Novalog once a day if my blood sugar is over 150.  Will update soon."


"I was a little skeptical to try a new drug but when my Daytrana went on backorder, I listened to my doctor and glad I did.  I HATE to swallow pills and didn't want to carry around any syrup with me so this works perfect for me.  Actually taste like orange! Which as you know most drugs don't actually taste like the flavor they say it should so I was pleasantly surprised.  I got to try it out free for the first month and will be continuing to use in the future!"


"When I first started this there were little, small side effects. I figured over time I would get used to the side effects and thus deal with them. Instead the side effects became intolerable. I would test the med by taking it while I was feeling well. I still had several side effects. Finally the last time I took this the side effects me sick for two full days. Terrible upset stomach, extreme gas and bloating. Worse aches and pains, unable to sleep even with sleep medication. The verge of vomiting at any moment, very dizzy. Extreme bone pain. Several other situations happened with the last dose."


"I first tried Buspar for my generalized anxiety disorder, and after several weeks, gave up on it. I decided to work with my psychiatrist instead of my GP.  He agreed to let me try Klonopin.  Wow.  I only take 1 mg a day but I feel 90% recovered to my old self. I am more social again, working on my novel, doing well at work, handling stress well, having a lot more fun and joy. I've been on it for 3.5 weeks and hopefully can stay on it permanently. I know one needs to be cautious with it."


"I have to go into the hospital every two months because I start throwing up and go into a coma state if I do not get IV in me .They gave me Zofran the last time and I was up and good as new in 5 minutes. I will keep this on hand at home for future episodes !"


"Maxalt MLT works great. Gets rid of migraine within an hour.  Tried generic form but only reduced pain by half, plus migraine comes back within a few hours. Also side effects much worse."


"It was very expensive and provided no help."


"The NuvaRing is extremely convenient. I didn't even notice it most of the time and it did not bother my boyfriend. However, I am bloated all the time, exhausted everyday, crying all the time, and my breasts have gone from C's to DD's. Some people would like this, but the reason why they have gotten bigger is I think because I'm so bloated all the time. They feel swollen and painful like when you are PMSing, but on a regular basis. "


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


"I am a 49 yr old male - after a confusing and distressful life for myself and family at the age of 35yrs and a 3mth stay in hospital I was diagnosed as being bipolar. I have taken different medications over the last 14yrs (Seroquel, Tegretol, etc.) and after my most recent manic/depressive episode started taking Seroquel. I take 300mg at night and at present am quite stable with mood thoughts and sleep patterns though I do feel lethargic, drowsy and being on "auto pilot " during the day and suffer aching limbs. This however is a small price to pay for actually feeling like a normal part of society for the 1st time in my life."


"I have been taking Flomax-CR in tablet (pill) form for over two years for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
After few side effects, it performed as expected, I am able to sleep 5 ~ 6 hours without need to go to the washroom.
However, after a year of taking Flomax-CR, constipation problems with bloated intestine appeared more and more frequently with more and more acute severe pain every time it occurred.
Thanks to my wife, a chemist ,  found the probable cause was found after putting a tablet (pill) in an acid solution to mimic the gastric environment and observing the evolution with time.  The tablet swells to the size of a small marshmallow and doesn't dissolve even after a month time.
Looking at Flomax on internet, it appeared that it was usually provided as a capsule rather than a tablet.  I consulted with my doctor, then my pharmacist and asked for capsules instead of tablets as well as a laxative to flush my intestine before starting the capsules.
I have been taking capsules for five weeks now without any occurrence of constipation, bloating and abdominal cramps.
A test was run to compare capsules versus tablets (pills), stimulating the stomach environment and using distilled water as a blank.  The following picture shows clearly the results.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-hlDGSKHrGCYVZHcDJrTjlxZW8

In the acidic environment solution, the capsule dissolves within few hours at room temperature.
The tablet swells to a small marshmallow size (10~15 mm) and sticks to the glass wall of the tube.
Two weeks later, the swelled tablet is still not dissolved and its consistency is similar to non-set epoxy glue.

In conclusion, it might be important to me to know ahead the side effects of all the non medical part of a prescribed drug entering the digestive system as much as the active ingredients.
Constipation and abdominal cramps are listed as possible side effect for Flomax-CR which is a control released tablet.

Web search shows that Flomax-CR is only available in Canada:

The low rating (3/10) is for Flomax-CR (pills).
I would give a rating (7/10) to Flomax in capsules."


"Savella gave me my life back!! I was diagnosed in 1999 during junior year of high school and I am now 30 years old and able to start living my life again. I am now holding down a part time job, returning to school full time in a medical technology program and reconnecting with friends. I have a life again, I have a future again thanks to this medication!"


"The stuff is amazing! Dissecting cellulitis is just about one of the worst forms of acne that anyone could have. At the first sign of a pimple I put it on and it's gone within a day or two. It's not quite as effective for the dissecting cellulitis but it does help control flareups. Dissecting cellulitis is normally controlled with a steroid and anabiotic's. In my opinion for a topical cream to eliminate the need for steroids and anabiotic's is amazing!"


"I had high hopes that this would help my anxiety but it seems like it made my anxiety a lot worse. I now experience bad nausea and trembling which didn't happen before. I also had low appetite and more severe anxiety attacks.  I took 15mg twice a day for six weeks. Thankfully it doesn't have withdrawal effects but unfortunately it didn't work for me."


"I'm 19 and have been on epiduo for around 3 weeks and have so far seen no improvements in my acne, I have more black heads now than I did before starting the treatment and the burning and itching sensation will not go away even when the product is washed off. It seems to have made my skin hypersensitive and I'm hoping that if I stick with it that it will be worth it in the end"


"I've been on Topamax for about a week now great results. carbonated drinks taste horrible little confused in class but overall its a Lifesaver. My migraines had me suicidal."


"My daughter is been taking Afinitor 5 mg for a brain tumor, cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma grade 1, the tumor after a MRI every 3 months is stable, no grows, after 2 surgeries this pill is helping to keep all under control. Thanks God!"


"I have been on 75 mg now for about 3 months. Before I was completely out of it, did not want to do anything, would stay at home on the computer all day, suicide thoughts everyday. Now I'm out everyday, going to the gym. All my anger and anxiety, along with the thoughts are gone. Feels great. I highly recommend this medication. I know it will have withdrawal effects when you are getting off it but it is highly worth it, to better your life!"


"It has help me get my life back to feel human it has truly worked for me as of today I am 180 pounds I was 285"


"Was given this drug following severe bronchitis due to chronic dental inflammations.  By day 3, I realized my left ankle was painful and hobbled.

I read the black box warnings and immediately discontinued the drug, however, that ankle and then the other one got progressively worse.  I was barely making it to work and back, trying to do eldercare solo, and thinking I was going to be crippled for life 6 months later.  Was seriously looking into joining class action lawsuit and probably should have, but no energy left over.  Think megadoses of magnesium and supplements plus some homeopathics like Thuja finally tipped the balance, and I gradually was able to walk normally without pain again.  Used Oil of Oregano to clear the infections."


"Took 2 dulcolax before bed for some GENTLE overnight relief (or so says the box)  I woke up, had a small BM  and thinking that was the end of it proceeded on a 6 hr. solo drive. I felt  strangely anxious the whole trip. Later that evening still feeling inexplicably nervous, we went out to dinner. I ran to the restaurant bathroom for an urgent BM.  That's over I thought. Silly me.  I proceeded  to walk the mile or so to my daughter's home when with absolutely no warning ...you guessed it. I pooped myself. 24 hours after I took those evil pills. Epic. In public. No control. First time in my life.  I waddled to her house, covered in poo, showered, and googled this site  and was reassured by and laughing at other horror stories. NEVER AGAIN"


"I selected depression but at this point I believe depression is a side effect to a larger Neurological issue and apnea. I was diagnosed with Depression years ago and after being put on tonnes of different medicines some of which were a nightmare I was upgraded to Bi-Polar. Along the way I gained about 100lbs and eventually ended up on a cocktail that included Seroquel which made me very sleepy all the time. I was initially given Provigil as a way to be awake during the day. It was a very positive improvement. After a while I was adjusted to Seroquel, Lamictal and Provigil, and it seemed to keep me stable but still lethargic. Eventually we tried lessening the Seroquel and eventually eliminated it. I am doing better than ever now for several years."


"I have been prescribed Ambien for 3 years now, I used to take Xanax along with it so I never truly got to experience the hypnotic effects of Ambien on its own. Now I take it by itself and its a powerful medication. It can cause my appetite to get out of control, also  I had a major problem when I drank alcohol with it . My parents came home to find me, putting all my clothes in a suitcase I found somewhere in the house, a loaf of sliced bread spread all over the house and the yard, and me yelling at them for making my friends leave the game early, what the hell I was doing or talking about I still have no idea. So yes, don't drink and take Ambien in the course of a night because it leads to some bizarre activities. But all in all as a sleep aid it's great."


"I have used Cialis for over a year now at 20mg. Effects take much longer if taken with a meal containing much fat. It does last a good 3 days so you don't feel rushed to complete the act. Have noticed mild headaches the next day on more than one occasion after taking Cialis."


"I have been on Mallenkrodt Oxycodone 5 MG for 3 years and they worked perfectly until November of 2016. They've been horrible since then and cause jitters, don't work, cause withdrawal symptoms 4-5 hours after taking them, & are suspiciously bad.

The problem is the drug company and Walgreens try to convince people these side effects and sudden drastic changes in the way the pills work are in the head of the patient and bully them into fearing looking like a drug seeker. The FDA also doesn't care if they work right because they want to scare people into not using them.

I seriously feel helpless and am so frustrated by the shadiness of all companies/parties involved. Steer clear of Mallenkrodt"


"This is the first medicine that I have used that helps my fibromyalgia pain and sleep issues"


"I've been on Aviane for almost 3 months now. It's my first birth control attempt and so far, I haven't noticed and weitght gain. However, I have been very fatigued and headachey for a few weeks after attempting to skip a period for a month (which I thought had no affect on us). I've also had some irregular spotting  but I think this goes away after the first 1-3 months. So far I haven't noticed any mood changes but I do have larger breasts now :) (which is always nice for someone of my previous size). I would recommend this to anyone who can handle a few headaches and possible irregularity for the first few months."


"This medication did not work well for me at all, and I got the unfortunate side effect of lactation. At the time I was sixteen and that's just something that I was not willing to deal with."


"I was on Celexa and the Lexapro seems to be better."


"Every single thing that is on the side affects menu happened to me. My stomach muscle felt like my ribs were choking it, and it went all the way to my back where my kidneys are, I couldn't get out of bed for 36 hours, and when I called the doctor, they never called back. Will be changing doctors. So now, I have to seek medical attention for my kidneys, which were never an issue, because no one bothered to do an allergy test on me for this medication. It was the worst 48 hours of my life. I know this medication works for other people, but please get tested before you take it, it only took one dose of 50mg's to give me this reaction."


"Okay, so I had a really bad yeast infection. My period brought it on. I was drinking a ton of beer on vacation and decided I would treat my infection when I got home. My yeast infection got so bad. I used Monistat Maximum strength, before bed, on Sunday. I had extreme itching and burning. The intense itching continued for 3 days, Thursday. I finally had enough and called my Dr., scheduled an appointment for Monday and bought, Thursday morning, Monistat pre-filled applicator. It dripped out of me all day long. I had pink discharge which turned into a yellow color. However, by THURSDAY NIGHT I had no more itching or burning, just swelling. Today, Friday, I have no symptoms."


"I took this for weight gain. In the beginning I took it everyday for a month. I went from 80lbs to 115lbs in one month. I overdid it. So I stopped taking it and would only take it when my appetite would subside and just take it for a week and when I was hungry again I would stop. I would keep the appetite (a normal one) for about a month before needing more. However, I am going to stop taking it. I have NO sex life with hubby. I have almost NO desire. I don't know If its from the medicines. It also gives me chills pretty bad. I think it makes me very fatigued as well but not 100 percent. From all I have read is this medicine stops the production of testosterone which is why."


"38 male, Diabetic for 18 years ,high blood p and cholesterol. I workout 6 times a week and I'm in excellent shape but I gues my diabetes now is affecting my health especially down there.... My endocrinologist give a prescription for cialis 10 mg. and all I can say is OMG. Really good medication!!"


"I can't seem to see the same results as others. I've been to the urgent care in my area recently for bronchitis and after giving me a nebulizer treatment they sent me on my way with suggestion of Mucinex.
Man. This stuff works so well, I haven't seen any issues with sleep or feeling jittery. The package does mention to take with a full glass of water, and to stay hydrated. Maybe that's something the others are missing?"


"Found out I have chlamydia this morning, doctor prescribed 2 pills 500 MG. I ate chicken soup and now two hours later I'm sitting on the toilet with the worst abdominal cramps ever and diarrhea. I hope it works!!"


"I've had nothing but issues but I have not had a pregnancy scare at all and that's why I rated it 3/10. I received my shot September 19, I got my period October 14, bled for 21.5 days and then 2.5 days later started to bleed again for, so far, another 10 days. In 34 days, I've bled 31.5 days. It's absolutely draining, my hormones are out of control, and it's impeding on every day life. I'm being treated for acne with Sprionolactone and my cystic acne came back with a vengeance. If I knew any of this would be a potential side effect, I would've just waited for my referral to my gyno and deal with the 1 BC method rather than 2 (condoms). Overall, this has been a TERRIBLE experience and I can't wait until it wears off. (I only had one shot)."


"I noticed a lot of complaints about nausea. Do not eat anything for at least 2 hours before you take it. When I first started taking it I would wake up pouring sweat and throwing up. I finally figured it out though. If I take my first dose at bedtime, I fight it and don't sleep. So what seems to work now is going to bed and a couple hours later then take dose (I always have to pee anyway). "


"I am extremely pleased with this medication.  I am a recovering addict who turned to methadone maintenance 6 years ago.  I unfortunately continued with methadone for almost 5 year and found it to be a hinderance.  It did save my life but all these medications should be for short term use.  I began my prescription of Subutex around 11 months ago.  I am very pleased.  After the first week the euphoria stopped after taking my dose.  This helped me get adjusted to feeling "normal".  My dose has been gradually decreased and I am almost off completely.  This is an addictive drug but if done correctly with your doctor you can detox with min. discomfort.  The biggest problem is price.  Without insurance....forget it.  $834 for 120 Subutex."


"I have only just started this medication. I have not experienced any bad side effects. I am very hopeful that this medication will get my A1C to goal. I do take glimepiride as my oral agent, with that medication alone I have gone from an A1C of 8.1 to 7.1 in 1 month!  When I took the first injection, it was not like what I was shown in the Endo office, its not a pen(at least mine wasn't) mine, I had to put all the parts together, pull the medicine into the syringe and play nurse almost if you will. The needle is rather large. it didn't seem to hurt and I've experienced no side effects this far. Looking forward to great results."


"Do not take this stuff.

I just started this a few weeks ago to treat my PCOS and it made me extremely hungry. I also became very irritable throughout my time taking it. It got to the point where the entire day I was snapping at people and it sucked. But the worst part is THE CRAMPS. two weeks into taking the pill consistently, I got my period..? and the cramps that have come along with it are a living hell. I've taken a heapof  ibuprofen throughout today and have laid here with a heating pad for 3 hours....they will not go away. Please save urself from freaking pain"


"Took my first dose of saxenda last night today very minimal side effects if any just feel a little queasy and a little foggy but if this is as bad as it gets I can deal with it"


"I advise you never ever ever to get this put in your arm!! I got it put it in febuary this year and was removed in May. Nobody explained to me the negative side effects it could have on people, i had such bad anxiety I never left my house, I used to stay up all night just crying but I didn't know why. I got so paranoid that I thought I was going to die at one point?! I would be happy one minute then completely snap into a horrible mood and not want to talk to anybody. I'd literally lock my self away for days, I gained a ton of weight and couldn't loose it. It nearly broke me and my boyfriend up of 2 years, it literally took everything from me! So I strongly advice you do a lot of research on nexplannon!"


"I ended up falling off some stairs and had to get stitches, staples on my HEAD..

I got these pills for my pain and I got to say;

They Working Great..

A1.."


"Started Qsymia 4 days ago  as part of Supervised weight loss plan

It was suggested I only eat one portion of protein and one cup of vegetables per meal

I have lost 8 pounds in 4 days  I was already in the process of losing weight by adding lots of fiber and vegetables not sure if that contributed to such rapid success   100 pounds to go  wish me luck!"


"Worst experience on this drug!! Developed sciatica, gained fifty pounds on it and had my first gallstones flare up on it. Was on it for about six months. Beware!! Make sure whomever injects knows how to do it. Was in pain from the sciatica for about a year after discontinuing the drug."


"I have Allergic Rhinitis since I was a kid unfortunately I was told that there is no cure for this allergy it will be with me for the rest of my life - doctors have always treated my so called sinus issue with Flu medication and sinus medication to be honest it worked for a hour max and I am back where I started. A doctor prescribed Kestine and Nasonex almost 15 years ago I used it for the first two days and every time when we the seasons change. To-date I still use the same products and I don't regret using it since - honestly the best medication available for people who have Allergic Rhinitis. "


"I've been having painful nodular cystic acne for the past 1 year. I've had polycystic ovarian syndrome for some time, but for some reason, the acne became a problem this year. So far, I have been on the spironolactone for 1 month, and I broke out AGAIN after my period as expected, but it's much less. Smaller nodules, barely noticeable, and not painful.

I'm at a 50 mg/day dose now. Hopefully the acne should improve if I'm patient, but so far the acne is definitely less severe.

Side effects: some weight loss, which is probably all the urine I'm peeing out as this is a diuretic; some dryness of the skin, nothing a moisturizer can't help with.

"


"Been on the shot for 5 months now and over all I don't mind some of the side effects (to me they seem mild). The most annoying one is the irregular bleeding, for example: I've had 1 regular period since the start, then it stopped the next month, then I bled (spotted) the whole next month, now I am just spotty throughout the month on and off. I still get PMS symptoms, but they're not as intense as before use.  It did not help clear up my acne (existing hormone issue) but it is less of a hassle than the pill. I did increase my Vit. B intake with this method (as recommended). I rather deal with irregular spotting than a child so I will continue use."


"I completely agree with all of the reviews posted, this thing is no joke! I was close to leaving work early bc I was on fire! Couldn't wait to get home and take a shower and that helped only a little. Do not try this product as you will end up feeling worse!"


"It's okay. I take it (not every day) for back pain and migraines. First time I took it I threw up, probably because I've never taken any narcotic pain killers before. It still frequently makes me nauseous when I take it and takes a good four hours to really kick in and work.

Personally, these days, I find much more luck with medical marijuana. Not habit-forming, and much safer."


"I started taking the ciprofloxacin and was very sick within hours of the first dose nauseous, dizzy ,diarrhea, shortnees of breathe and stopped taking it but still very sick with flu like symptoms! I do not recommended this antibiotic to anyone!"


"I just got put on this 5 days ago for a breastfeeding related infection in my left breast. I get the worst heartburn, tightening in my chest, and SEVERE burning in my throat. It also gives me terrible indigestion when I try to eat anything. The pain lasts for hours. No one told me about the drinking full glass of  water and not laying down after. I feel a little better now, after reading these testimonials. And on the plus side it is working great on getting rid of the infection."


"I took Gabapentin for the usual depression/anxiety combination. It helped my anxiety SO much and I was a new person on it. The only reason I had to go off of it was because I have Interstitial Cystitis and the Gabapentin acted as a bladder irritant to my condition. Other than it worsened my interstitial cystitis, this medication was pretty flawless."


"Hi Everyone,

I am a 22 yr old female and I have been on 10mg of lexapro for 2 weeks now and I thought I'd share my experience although  everyone will react to medication differently. The first three days were awful. Nauseous to the point where I could barely move, terrible headaches, incredible hunger, yawning constantly and waking up all through out the night. On the 4th day most the side effects just stopped. Mostly the headaches and nauseous feeling. You really have to push through the initial side effects. All the racing thoughts immediately stopped, I am so much more calm, no more mood swings, social situations no longer bother me, I am just generally happier. I will also mention that I had none of the sexual side effects."


"I bought the monistat 3 day prefilled applicators and used last night. I've used monistat before and never had any issues but oh my godddddd after about 2 minutes I got this awful burning and itching. so bad I couldn't sleep and I had to go in the bathroom and get a cold wash cloth and wipe off whatever I could.  after about an hour it toned down enough to where I was able to fall asleep and when I woke up this morning I still had some burning. never again will I buy this crap! I'll stick to the generic version. don't waste your 20$ on this stuff it's not worth it and made my symptoms 1000x worse!"


"I have been on the pill for about a year and three months. It works excellent as a birth control. My breasts only grew like half a size. It also gives me extremely light, short periods, which is pretty awesome. My reason for originally getting it in was to regulate my periods, since I was spotting for weeks straight before. It has not only regulated my periods, but has regulated my whole monthly schedule. My cravings are intense with insatiable hunger certain times of the month. The only thing I really hate about this pill is the mood swings. I have the most violent and depressing mood swings for no reason whatsoever, random times of the day. It feels like intense anger. This in itself makes me want to get off the pill."


"Ever since I began to play field hockey then basketball my acne got bad. No over counter things would work anymore. So I got Aczone & I saw improvement in three days. This works like magic. Highly suggest."


"Can't get an erection since I started it."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"It relieves my stomach pains due to severe bloating and gas.  It is sedating. Once I take it, if I am somewhere comfortable, I can dose off.  It is a very good medicine."


"I've been on it for almost 2 weeks now. So far it seems to be okay. However it has already decreased my sex life, significantly, in 2 weeks. "


"My Doctor gave me this medication because I am going through a very stressful time and I was having an emotional melt down. I take 600 mg before bed or as needed during the day and it always calms me down. It feels like my whole body is numb. It also works good for restless leg syndrome. It can make me forgetful and groggy so I don't drive if I've just taken a dose. It may not be a good medicine for someone who has a job or needs to be very alert and focused. No other side effects. I've been on it for 2 weeks and it's been a lifesaver."


"Was using Uroxatral.  Rapaflo seems to work about as well, but I also have experienced very little or no ejaculation - very strange sensation."


"I have severe depression to the point I feel so angry I don't want to talk to anyone and I stay in my room. I started Pristiq 3 weeks ago and after 2 weeks I almost stopped taking this medication because my irritability got so bad for three days. Like I said I did not want to talk. Then it just kicked in and I actually took my kids to the park and we played it. Doesnt sound like a big deal but for me it was. I can't remember the last time I did this without forcing myself. My husband actually told me today that I'm acting like the wife he married. I just hope I stay this way. So sorry to ramble but I feel great. I can't remember the last time I felt this good and I'm not just going through the motions."


"Been taking this for months for DDD/DJD (neck).  I notice severe pain when I don't take this nightly but still have muscle pain even when I do.  Main side effect is severe grogginess and dry mouth/hung over feeling.  I have to be in bed about 20 mins after taking it or I am walking into walls literally.  I have to drink a lot of water before bed to combat the hung over feeling.  Recently switched back to Flexeril.  Have also taken Robaxin but that didn't help much either.  I get headaches when I take Tramadol and any narcotic so I take Tylenol during the day."


"Had an yeast infection for like 3 days went to the Dr yesterday and they gave me diflucan n cipro i still feel it..... When will it disappear?????"


"Started taking Effexor in October and it's completely changed my life. I no longer have unusual anxiety and haven't had a single panic attack (despite being exposed to many triggers). I can't believe what a huge difference it's made. I feel like I have my life back again. I was previously on Lexapro, which I found didn't really alleviate my systems to the same degree, and caused me to be tired all the time. The only side effect I've had with Effexor has been weight loss."


"I am on my second Mirena and I have never truly had any problems with it. I got it in 2009 to prevent pregnancy and it didn't hurt that bad since I had just had a baby. The only side effects I had was occasional bloating and cramping. It is as though I have period-like symptoms with no period. Sometimes I will bleed old, brown blood, but it's just spotting. In 2013, I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had to have surgery and had it taken out. I can't take pills, won't take depo, can't do the ring, and prefer to not have the patch. So, I got another Mirena. It hurt to get it put back in. People were surprised since I had an ectopic pregnancy with the first one. I have had it for 6 months and weight gain has been an issue. But no period is great."


"Started taking Phentermine 30mg on Saturday 7/18/15 and its now Tuesday 7/21/15 and I was beginning to think my scale was broken because so it days I've lost almost 8 pounds in just 3 days.. Started at 214lbs now at 205.4lbs.. Seems like alot of people on this site say they have had similar weight loss on it. I'm just hoping the weight loss continues to quickly fall off, I've been only drinking water, cut out pop completely, drink only one cup of coffee In the morning and limit my diet to less than 500 calories. Seems to be working:)"


"All I can say is WOW! I have taken so many different muscle relaxers as well as different narcotics, and this is one of the best medicines I have ever tried. It's hard to get relief with 2 herniated discs in my lower back but with the Soma I took it and 20 minutes later I felt more relaxed and my muscles just seemed to have let go of the tension and the spasms just subsided. However please be sure to take it as directed."


"I have been taking this antibiotic for approximately 1 year for acne. It's absolutely wonderful, no side effects and you can still tan in sun or tanning bed, most antibiotics you cannot. I also have used it in the past for sinus infections and it knocked it out quickly. I hate that I have to take it for so long but I was suffering with cystic acne and this one got rid of it, unfortunately it comes back if I discontinue use."


"Prescribed 50mg day for post AFib/flutter ablation rate control while healing for a month or so.  I've taken the regular non ER version before for similar reasons after coming out of AFib/flutter but usually had to stop very soon due to dropping rate and BP below the low end of the normal ranges.  So far the ER tabs seem to be not as aggressive on that, but I'm not sure if I'll make the full recovery time with them.    I haven't had any of the "loopiness" or fog that I've had with the non ER version which were 25's cut in half 2x day."


"After I gave birth to my son (eight years ago) I began having major depression. I have tried everything. I went to a new doctor because the other one just kept adding more medicines. I was on wellburtin, serzone, prozac, cymbalta, seroquel,ativan,and celexa. So I tappered off everything except for seroquel to help me sleep. I only need ativan once in a while now, all because she put me on lexapro 20mg. This drug started working within 3 days for my anxiety. It does make me tired so I take it at 4pm and sometimes I don't even need my seroquel. I love this drug! I can't believe I didnt try this sooner."


"I took this medication for 2 years.

While on the medication I had no menstrual cycle, no period, no spotting, no issues.

Once discontinued, and the 13weeks passed since my last shot I noticed a change in hormones.

About 7 weeks after that I got a very light period lasting 3 days

2 weeks later another light period lasting 3 4days

At this time the cramping did not go away and I got centralized right lower abdominal pain which eventually cent me to the ER 2 weeks later.

After every test including a CT scan no issues were found and doctors wanted to schedule MRI

They finally sent me home with a morphine injection to go so I could sleep. Woke up to chunks of blood pouring from me. "Dysfunctional uterine bleeding" from stopping depo."


"Problems with flushing until doctor told me not to eat strawberries or chocolate in the evening.  I can eat them before lunch.  I take Niaspan on going to bed.  I eat 2 Graham crackers and 8 oz of milk when I take it.  This has resolved all my problems with the medicine."


"After being diagnosed with ADHD when I was eleven and being on Adderall XR for nine years I have to say Vyvanse is the best thing that has happened to me.

The last year in college Adderall made me anxious, suspicious, and generally unhappy. So after several trials with Ritalin and Cymbalta, I am proud to say that I am doing much better on Vyvanse and my grades were awesome this semester. Two A's, two B's and a C! Much better than two B's and three C's.

I am on 40mg of Vyvanse. I did lose 20lbs during the first two months but I gained it back. I also do have some trouble eating in the afternoons but when the medicine wears off, which I never notice haha, I am able to eat quite a bit of food.

Overall, Vyvanse is an amazing choice."


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


"I am 58 and erections are sometimes slow or fading. I have experimented with dosages and have found that less actually works better than more. At 50 mg, quite rigid but also insensitive, at 12.5 mg same rigidity but far more sensitive to the touch. Lasts into the next day and no side effects at low dose. I use the generic which is quite cheaper and does the same job."


"Diclofenac is an NSAID. So, it relieves inflammation and the pain caused by it very well for me. Takes my sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SI joint pain)  down to a level that I can live with. Usually it's so distracting and bothersome that I suffer extreme insomnia and low quality of life."


"Completely obliterated my train of thought. I couldn't walk a straight line if my life depended on it. Don't have valuables on you while operating under the influence. You will not have them in the morning. I promise. And don't drive !"


"I've been constipated for some time and I couldn't have a normal bowel movement, and then a friend reccomended I try Miralax because they were hospitalized and having problems, but I tried it the first day and I loved it so much that I do it once a day every day to once every couple of days. I highly reccomend this to anyone who suffers with constipation. And it also mixes in well with anything you want to drink, so it's tasteless and easy to drink."


"Last night was my first time to take Saphris. I woke up in a great mood, I'm not moody at all. It seems to be working but it's only been one day. I have tried every kind of medicine out there and nothing has worked so hopefully this one will. I had no hang over this morning I feel great. I haven't felt like this in years. Thank you to the makers of this medicine. It seems to work!"


"My doctor gave me this med to help me sleep. It really doesn't help much. He prescribed 100mg at bedtime. It does work wonders for my allergies though"


"Did not help with much pain maybe a slight bit and only for an hour at most made me break out and itch till i was bleeding"


"Took Accutane for almost a year. My dermatologist made me complete the course to make sure that my acne does not come back. During the entire period, I had dry eyes, dry skin, dry hair. I had to lotion, condition and use eye drops lip balm very frequently. However, my acne cleared big time. I still occasionally get smaller pimples but not the big ones that I used to have on my back or on my face. Not recommended for sportsmen. I had to double my application of sunblock because I am frequently under the sun and while consuming Accutane it is not recommended for you to be under the sun for too long a time."


"I started my shot on Saturday November 19,2016 . I was fine the first day on Sunday is when I started to fill nauseous to my stomach. On Monday I started with a burp it's smell like rotten eggs . Today is Tuesday same as Monday :( I hear really good things about this shot but I don't know if my body can handle the nauseated the diarrhea and that stinky smell I've been calling in at work since I've been on this shot and it's only been my first week hopefully my body can handle it , so that I can really see what this shot can do for me , from what I see it helps a lot of people especially with their weight,  their numbers and their A1C. I'm going to try to hang in there . I've noticed that my appetite has cut down and I can say now I'm full ."


"Do not get this. It has been a nightmare from day one. First had the Nexplanon put in March 2015, and it has ruined my life. I had horrible bleeding constantly that would last for up to 3 weeks. Not light bleeding/spotting, straight up gushing blood. I have no sex drive. Horrific headaches every day. Terrible dizziness. Ache. Disgusting dandruff. I'm exhausted . Have no energy. And I cannot stop gaining weight. This was the worst choice I have ever made and I am finally having it taken out this week. Please, I beg you to reconsider if you're thinking of getting this. It has made me hate myself and feel like I'm becoming psychotic. Over a year and a half of misery."


"This medicine works but, the taste is so bad the second day of being on it I started throwing up the sickness went away but, I'm still getting major headaches and I feel exhausted. I was percribed 30 of them for a colon infection due to not being able to go to the bathroom caused  the infection spread into my stomach."


"I have suffered from cystic acne on my face and back since I was 16 (I'm now 27). I was on birthcontrol Diane for 10 years that helped with the embarassing acne but I wanted to go off of synthetic hormones. My acne came back with a vengance one the birth control was out of my system (about 5 months later) and I was at a loss-

My derm recmmended a regimen of applying Ziana gel at night and Acanya in the mornings and also wanted to put me on antibiotics- I never took the Solodyn because I only like to take antibiotics in extreme cases to my kind to my gut.

It took 3-4 months for the acne to clear up and the dark spots to disappear but it is 100% gone! Not a single breakout. Be patient its worht it!"


"I have been on Omeprazole / Pepcid for 5 years and pantaprazole for couple months in the middle, if the symptoms became worse. I used to feel little itchy + seon my hands 5 years ago when I took pantaprazole for a month. My doc had me to switch to Omeprazole regularly. After an year my doc had me to switch to Pepcid regularly since Omeprazole gave me acid rebound! So it became like, if the symproms show up bad, I would start with Pantaprazole coupld weeks and switch to Omeprazole and finally switch to  Pepcid ongoing. But since an year ao. Pepcid + Omeprazole do not work! My doc had me to take Pantaprazole for the past 6 months regularly. Its perfect, its working very well for me. No more sleepless nights! Surprisingly no itching this time!"


"I have been taking 50mg Pristiq for depression for 4 months and having used many different depressant medicines previously  (Zoloft, Luvox, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Effexor)- I find it to have less side effects.  I take thyroid medication (Oroxine) as well and I feel like Pristiq helps it to work better.  I have lost 10kg in four months without dieting and just a tad more exercise.  Less headaches, less backaches and aches and pains, a bit more get up and go which I need as I have 3 kids.  I'm hoping that it doesn't wear off as some of the antidepressants have in the past.  It is not as 'strong' as when I first started, but still effective in controlling mood swings and anger (and appetite)."


"I have panic disorder along with Gemeralized Anxiety Disorder. Zoloft did help me for a while, but over time I noticed weight gain, emotional numbness, night sweats, and just general laziness. I didn't care for nothing! After much research I discovered that all anti-anxiety meds begin to lose their effect over time. But it did help me for the first 4yrs I took it."


"It itches but it really worth it, I feel that a miracle has occurred. I was my whole life wearing clothes that I didn't like just to hide my problem. I was under botox treatment and it was way more expensive and wasn't that effective at all. I love Drysol, it changed my life."
