"Was constipated for 2 days on vacation. Took 1.5tbs Milk of M at 6pm and another 1tbs at 7:00am. I was able to go in the morning at 8am several times. It was easy and not watery just normal soft deposite. No cramps and no nausea. I think the people on here who got diarrhea and nausea after taking it took too much. Don't take more than it says. Taking half a bottle is going to make you have bad diarrhea. This was recommend to me by a doctor in the family who specializes in digestive system health."


"I began using Avonex when I was diagnosed in March of 2007.  I think it has done wonders to stave off progress of the disease.  I have not had a major relapse since being on the medication, nor have I ever had an injection site reaction.  Side effects were aches and flu-like symptoms the following day, which subsided with the following techniques:
Day of injection, filling up on fluids.
2 hours prior to injection, taking 2 ibuprofen.
Injection in the buttocks rather than thigh- this made a big difference. Injecting 2 hours prior to bed, then taking 1 more ibuprofen before sleep.
Keeping hydrated the day after the injection.

I love that it's once a week and there are no red sores from the injection as with other MS medicines."


"I'm 65, female and last night I took my first pill.  I've had Hep C since about 1975.  I looked at that pill a long time before I took it.  It seems too good to be true and I'm afraid of the side effects.  Still this morning I still feel the same as ever.  It would be nice if it just continued this way.  I will make it through this treatment and I will get cured."


"I'm 15 and I've struggled with mild acne for a while and I've tried Proactive and tons of other products and now I use expensive dermatological products. I get facials and I even use an expensive Thermaclear zit zapper. I'm almost done with my 2nd month of these pills and I'm happy to say I don't have one zit on my face. I have no weight gain or anything. I'm taking this for my mild acne and since I'm only 15 it's not for the birth control but when I'm older I'm sure it will be good for that too. I used to be weeks late on my period also and now I'm on time. I'm very happy. Try this."


"2 days into my 3rd week on Contrave. I've lost 9 pounds with no change in exercise habits. Not because the meds are controlling my cravings, but because I am way too nauseous to eat. I kid you not, the nausea is almost unbearable. There are days I can't get off the couch without throwing up. I am going to stick with it to see what happens when I get to the final 4 pill dosage and things become stable.  I'm not giving up but just wanted people to know to expect the nausea. Just looking at food commercials on tv makes me gag. Smelling the cat food when I feed them, sends me running for the restroom. And I have thrown up more meals than I've kept down...I feel like one of those bulimic supermodels."


"I started this pill on Tuesday night.   My insurance paid for it (after pre-authorization from my Dr)   my co pay was 50 but pharmacist referred me to website and coupon paid that, so I thought what the hell!  I'll try it.   I am 45 and 4'10 on Monday I weighed 180. On Thursday I weighed 176 so 2 full days on medication I lost 4 lbs.    I started my diet one strict 1000 calorie diet and now I am so full I feel sick if I eat more than about 700, but my husband makes me eat.    The only side effect I have had from it is insomnia, so I take 10 mg at 7 am 10 mg at 3 pm.    No side effects now.    I absolutely love it!!!!"


"Prescribed doxepin in detox/rehab after traxadone did not work well. 25mg of doxepin works really well for me. 120 lb female age 26. Helps with anxiety and keeps me asleep even if I wake up to pee or something. I have gained some weight but I can't attribute it to the doxepin since I am only two months clean off opiates. But for addicts, definitely give it a try cause it worked wonders for me. Non habit forming too."


"47 year old woman with thyroid "Hoshemotoes" after multiple foot surgeries I was at my heaviest. 5 days on Phentermine I am down 10 pounds . Eating right and drinking lots of water , no exercising yet due to recent knee surgery but will add it after losing a few more pounds ."


"I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse syndrome my senior year in college, resulting in a medical discharge from the Army rather than commissioning as an officer. I was blacking out, fainting, and my activity tolerance dropped dramatically as the condition progressed.

Metoprolol was prescribed for me to help regulate my heart rate - it worked great for that. I didn't feel the palpitations and heart racing with minimal activity. Downside was that my blood pressure was already low - so being on this medication made my blood pressure drop even lower. Doctors eventually put me on MIDODRINE which constricts my blood vessels causing an increase in blood pressure. The combination works great!"


"I have been on birth control for 16 years now, Chateal for the past 6 months. This is the first pill that has actually lessened my bleeding and period pain. I have always had excessive bleeding and cramps (to the point I couldn't leave the house), this pill has changed all of that! I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, since taking this pill I have actually been able to lose 10 pounds. I would have given it 10/10 but I have been super emotional and cry a bit more than usual (commercials are the worst). No acne, no weight gain, no excessive bleeding, no cramps, no hair loss (as many reported), and the big one: I'm not pregnant!"


"I have struggled with anxiety my whole life, going on and off anti-anxiety medications.  I am a mom of three, a part time college student, and work part time.  Although I can't blame all of the stress I feel on the way I internalize things, I can absolutely say, Zoloft has helped me tremendously.  I feel like I can handle much more, I feel more clear minded, energized and happy. I believe I may have suffered from a mild OCD- obsessive thoughts mostly, but also very stressed when things in my house were not just so.  I didn't even realize how much I was driving myself crazy until I started taking the Zoloft. I can whole heartedly say, no other medication has worked for me this well.  I am just more at peace and that is priceless."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"I bought this today for my yeast infection and first only used the cooling wipes and the itching cream and it was great. The cream worked wonders and the cooling wipes were alright. Then I decided once I got home this afternoon to insert the ovule. Worst decision I've ever made. Within and hour I first began to feel extreme itching. Then that turned to burning. The worst pain I have EVER felt. The medicine in the ovule just kept coming out as discharge. I'm still in an insane amount of pain hours after, slightly reduced though. I took a bath and now have ice on my vagina. Definitely never using this product again!!!!"


"I didn't realize it at the time but this stuff really did literally make me bipolar! I never considered myself bipolar before this medication. It made me not be able to sleep for days at a time, made my normal moods worse at times, and just over all set off mental conditions that I don't normally have issue's with, and at the time I didn't see or understand that, now."


"My skin had a very nasty breakout after almost 10 years of no acne whatsoever (I'm 34 now). I have oily/combination skin and went on antibiotics/adapalene/topical solutions but nothing really helped. Finally, my dermatologist suggested that I try Epiduo as a night treatment (along with my daily moisturizer, Avene Cleanance Expert - another miracle product). Honestly, it only got worse before it started getting better. My skin got almost burned, it peeled badly and was really irritated. Somehow, very slowly and gradually it started clearing up. Now, after using Epiduo every other night for the last 3 months, my skin has almost minimal breakouts, looks and feels smoother and I'm on my way to reclaiming my lost clear skin and self-esteem."


"I have severe migraines and sometimes can't afford Imitrex which is the only medication that helps me. I was given this medication as a sample. It seemed to help some but not enough. I am taking the second after waiting 3 hours. I hope it helps this time."


"I have had psoriasis since the age of my early twenties around the knees and then slowly it spread to arms buttocks and eventually about 90% of my body. I tried all the creams with little to no help. Realized that the disease was from the inside and then tried the Juicing of fruits and vegetables which was very helpful. In 2015 I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in my back and doctor suggested Stelara. My case was very severe so I was prescribed the .95 mg dose. First injection was noticeable in a few weeks easy. I have been taking the treatment for close to 2 years now and I am about 95% completely clear. Absolutely amazed by the results. All my blood tests have all been normal. The enjoyment of being psoriasis free is overwhelming!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm only giving this medication a 6 because it worked.

When I drank the 2 pm drink, it took me 20 minutes because of the taste and I kept gagging. When I was finished, I drank the 32 oz of water with difficulty because I was so bloated and I felt like I was going to throw up. The Suprep started working in about an hour.

Second dose at 7 pm comes around, and after the first sip I had to sprint to the bathroom and vomited everywhere because I couldn't make it. It was horrible. After that, I got 1/3 of the liquid down and started vomiting again. After that I put it over ice and was finally able to get the rest of it down (took me a while). I never want to use this prep ever again."


"I am on month 2 & can say that the current side effects I experience are acne, loss of appetite, striking pains/cramps, & DEFINITELY nausea. I'm not sure if heartburn has been caused by this pill, but I have extreme heartburn since being on it to the point that I get sick.

The first month was a breeze! Second month not so much... I still plan on trooping through the third month to get full results.. We will see!"


"Hi guys!
My sister had it for 3 years and took it out when she was ready to get preg.. Boom pregnant the next month. Here's my story.. I'm 28 and I just had my first wonderful baby girl. I have had a horrible experience with the pill, the patch and the depo shot which almost killed me and I hope no one ever gets it.  So I like most people was a little bit frightened to go back on birth control. After having my daughter, I'm 4 months pp. I think honestly the anticipation was worse than anything lol. I took 800mg Ibuprofen (Drs orders) before the insertion which helped tremendously because all I felt was a slight discomfort and it was over. I had some spotting and cramping (heating pad I'm 4 days into it and No pain. Breastfeeding and no milk issues!"


"This is the only medicine which has worked for my schizophrenia. It's a nightmare to take to begin with, need to gradually increase the dose, but has kept me reasonably well and coping for years. Only side effects for me are dry mouth and solar sensitivity, I don't like the sun anyway so no matter. But the dry mouth does limit the dose. It helps me sleep too."


"I have taken Belviq for two weeks and have lost 7 pounds. I eat two regular meals a day and do not feel the need to snack. Sometimes I make it through to 5 pm before eating. I am going to introduce exercise next week in a hope of speeding up the process. I originally wanted to lose 20 pounds but I decided to add 10 more to my goal. It is working for me."


"If you don't want kids its great. Please do you research before you touch it. I know it may work well for some people, but all I will say is you were warned fair and square..!!!!!"


"I highly recommend Pregabalin. I found it started working incredibly quickly and was lucky enough not to suffer any weight gain. I really recommend anyone suffering from anxiety to try it."


"I'm 22, male, with major depression, have been taking Effexor XR for over a year. Has partially helped, I still suffer from anxiety, lack of motivation, mood swings and seems like its changing my personality. The withdrawal symptoms are the worst. Missed 2 days of my dose and feeling sick."


"Desipramine has worked wonders for me. After many years on and off of various medications that would - at best, if they worked at all - help briefly and degenerate into vicious side effects, this one worked like a charm. The only down-side is that it is so innocuous that it's easy to get used to the improvement; since the improvements it can be tempting to consider oneself "better" and discontinue prematurely. Fortunately there are no discontinuation effects, and the only side effect I have experienced is slight photosensitivity."


"I have been on this medicine for 2 weeks along with Janumet and I love it. My fasting sugars used to be over 300 now they are in the 100 range. I am happy with that. In two weeks I went down 8lbs, I can live with this. Sugars are great. No side effects and I'm losing weight. I was on metformin 1000mgs twice a day and I got so sick from it but I have not had a single side effect from my new meds and I like that."


"I have tried multiple acne creams, medication and home made remedies there is. Epiduo truly cleared my face. My face has never been more clear/soft in my whole life. I HIGHLY recommend it!"


"I'm 29 years old. Starting at age 13 I started having skin issues that became cystic acne. At 21 I had enough and tried everything. Finally I gave Accutane a try. It completely cleared my skin for 7 years. At 28 after having 2 kids I began to get some small breakouts. Never as bad as it was but definitely noticeable. I tried Epiduo for about 6 months and I think it made it worse. My OBGYN put me on birth control and I was given Aczone. I was skeptical at first of another topical medication but I tried it. I've been on it now in conjuction with birth control for 4 months and my skin is finally clear again. I'm still on my first tube and probably only half way through it. A pea size amount, twice daily. I'm very pleased with it!"


"I'm currently struggling to drink this disgusting liquid and I'm just ughhh. Its taste like a nasty lemonade with no sugar with each sip that I take I'm gagging and trying not to throw up. I am however feeling a bubbling sensation in my stomach and I've only taken 10 sips"


"So, I had unprotected sex about a week ago, and we used the "pullout" method. He didn't ejaculate in me, but I was still nervous, so I went and bought Plan B about 4 hours later and took it. The only side effect I had was being very tied for about the next two days. I was extremely stressed for this past weekend, waiting for my period to come. It finally came today! It is great! Just relax, and don't stress, the pill will work if you give it some time."


"I take amoxicillin everytime I have a sinus infection. It clears it up  unbelievably fast. I usually start feeling a little better within a couple of hours.  I also never get a vaginal yeast infection that a lot of antibiotics can cause. No other weird side effects for me, other than it might change your bowel pattern a little. No diarrhea though."


"This breakthrough medication is what kept me alive for 27 years living with chronic Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
During the course of treatments the adverse effect was the effect it had on my peripheral veins. I had a negligent doctor insist that it was administered through my vein access in my arms.  Leaving me with continual painful thrombosis from the IV's that blew because it is very caustic and harmful to the small vein access. After many years and my attacks that required hospitalization became more frequent, other ER doctors needed to put in emergency Central Venous lines and were angry with me while doing it. It took many years to find a doctor finally who ordered the Port a catheter placement and I have received 10 of those."


"I have been on Zoloft for years now and love it this medicine saved my life before I started taking Zoloft I was a mess!!! depressed and angry all the time I finally after several years decided I'd had enough I told my therapist I wanted an antidepressant I was going to call the doctor myself but she called the doctor. Honestly I remember a girl I met when I was in college who told me I needed help and to go home for the weekend however, I was reluctant to get help only because my parents felt that at the time antidepressants weren't that safe. I must say she was right I feel so much better not a lot of side effects sometimes I get diarrhea from it but mostly it works"


"My Dr had put me on opana 60 mg twice daily Along with oxymorphone 10mg for breakthrough pain. This did work beautiful. Unfortunately, my insurance changed, and I was put on oxycontin ER and oxycodone. This combo never worked as well the prior medication regime I was on. Even when I increased the amount I was taking on my own, it never fully Took the pain away. He decided after a year or so, to put me on levorphanol and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. The levorphanol works ALOT better than the oxycontin still. Levorphanol must be sent through the mail to PA, as it's not carried in this state and MOST pharmacist have never heard of it. It's called the forgotten opioid. Opana Works great for TRUE spinal cord Pain. No high.. Great relief!"


"This medicine is wonderful.  I never believed in taking anti depressants because I didn't want to become dependent on them.  I've taken Zoloft ... I had real bad constipation and it worsened my depression.  Celexa has done it for me.  I had postpartum depression and went through a terrible break up with my fiance and have been able to cope very well with everything that has gone on in my life. I would recommend this medicine to anyone."


"Do your research. If the lowest dose of gabapentin does not work, higher doses will not either. I was prescribed GABA as soon as I was diagnosed with PN due to a side effect for a biologic I had been taking for rheumatoid arthritis. I experienced rapid weight gain, disorientation, and my short term memory was non-existent. My neurologist increased my dosage 2x, with no success. I did some research on my own and spoke to my rheumatologist and pain management doctor. They both agreed: if the lowest dose doesn't work, then it won't work... It'll just cloud your mind.

Stanford University published a study deterring the prescribing of this medication for neuropathy, as did the University of Vancouver, British Columbia. The efficacy rate is 10%."


"I'm 37 and just recently started getting YI , I bought the 7 day pack and used it tonight for the first time and OMG ! The itching is intense .... I've read tons of reviews and they've all said that after a hour or so it dies down ... ( fingers crossed ) I'm definitely going to stick with it . Hopefully"


"Insurance required me to use Opana ER crush-resistant version!  Takes about 2 hrs. to take effect so I take hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325 with 1 Opana upon waking and together they last about 8 hours NEVER 12 hours!  then take 1 hydrocodone/acetaminophen about 4 pm then another hydrocodone/acetaminophen about 9 pm then 1 Opana at 11 pm.  I tried using Opana alone but couldn't stand waiting IN PAIN for 2 hours before I could feel any relief!  Regular Oxycontin DID provide 12 hour relief without needing any vicodin for "breakthrough pain" but even with insurance it would cost $100/month.  Pain level with Opana AND vicodin still at about 5 but chronic pain after FIVE hip replacement surgeries - 2 on left hip, 3 on right, since 2008!!"


"I have been taking it for many years now for tonic clonic epilepsy and had been well for 3yrs. However out of nowhere last week I had 4 seizures had did some major damage. Has anyone else had this I also take Epilim ."


"After just a few weeks, I became a non smoker with Chantex.  A year later, and still a non smoker."


"I just started this medication yesterday. I was extremely doubtful since I've tried xanex, clonapin, and valium. However, I was at the point that I was willing to try anything. Took my first dose around 6pm and I was truly impressed. So I think it works alot better for my anxiety than any benzos ever did. For weeks I've been feeling like I was about to crawl out of my skin. Lots of medical issues, high blood pressure. I'm in telephone sales and its not ideal for those with similar medical problems. Now I feel great. Excited to go to work tomorrow. This is coming from someone who thought only benzos helped. If your doctor gives it to you, try it, it works. I take less than what others say they take and I still stand by it."


"This drug is amazing and can finally keep up with my boyfriend at last"


"Lifesaver for adrenaline rush feelings. The smallest dose cut in half makes me feel calm, slows my racing heart and heart palpitations, and puts me to sleep. I couldn't have survived lyme disease without it. The only bad things are it will make you tired and after being on it for 2 weeks straight, you're likely to have rebound anxiety. If you have long term anxiety SSRIs are the best choice."


"Mirena was inserted in 7/07; I was 38 with two kids. During placement I felt light cramping for 2 hrs. Doctor explained the uterus naturally tries to expel it with light cramping for up to several days. After the initial 2 hrs in '07 I haven't had any cramping, no spotting and no PMS. It has tremendously affected my life for the better as I was completely useless but with no choice but to function for at least 4 days a month during my heaviest flow. I'm a full-time working woman, mother and wife there was NO SENSE in suffering like that every month. Doctor was ready to do a partial hysterectomy and decided we would try Mirena instead. My fibroids and cysts have also shrunken. I love Mirena!"


"Started Victoza about 3 weeks ago. Have never felt better in my life, blood sugars are around 113 in mornings, Energy level is way up. Weight loss is coming off slow, only down 4 pounds, but I am looking forward to losing more. Today started on 1.8....Before starting Victoza I always felt tired and sluggish but not anymore."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

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


"I have had Kyleena for about a month and the insertion was nothing like I imagined.  As someone who is afraid of pain, and the horror stories I read, this was really not that bad.  I would rate my pain as a 6/10.  There were two, short-lived, intense cramps; one for the sounding and one for the actual placement of the IUD.  I could not feel the tenaculum on my cervix (no anesthetic).  I had to actually ask her if we were even at that part yet. I went to work right after I had it placed.  The spotting lasted for about 2 weeks.  It was minimal, but nonetheless annoying.  I think my body is still adjusting to it but I am going to give it that 6-month window my doctor recommended."


"This is my first time on birth control so I'm not comparing it to another brand. I started taking this to help with my extremely heavy and painful periods.

Pros: periods are 3 or less days + are extremely light, I no longer experience horrible cramps, just very minor aches. I haven't gotten pregnant. only 4 placebo pills compared to 7, my skin cleared up.

Cons: My transition period was rough - I spotted 20/30 days the first two months. I had extreme nausea the first month that killed my appetite. I still have occasional nausea, particularly at night, but I no longer spot. Only side effects I've noticed.

It took care of my main problem though - heavy painful periods, so it's been worth it I will stick to it."


"It works well for me. I noticed a change very quickly."


"The best for my pain. That's all I have to say."


"Developed panic disorder with agoraphobia one year ago after a traumatic experience on a plane. I finally gave in and decided to start treatment with Prozac. I was on 20mg for 3 weeks, then upped to 40 mg. No bad side effects AT ALL. My mood and attitude have improved greatly, and my daily panic attacks have diminished. When I do feel anxious occasionally, I am able to breathe it out and calm down, instead of ending up in the ER. I am now able to leave the house and drive, shop, run errands with no panic. I am still unable to travel by plane... otherwise, 10/10! And I am only on week 5. Heard it only gets better!"


"I too have had embarrassing experiences on Ambien.  While it helps me sleep, I often make phone calls or send nasty evil emails or texts in the middle of the night (3 or 4am) when I was sure I was asleep.  I woke up one morning with my hand bandaged.  Startled. I unwrapped my hand and noticed I had chopped off the end of my finger!  Luckily I had the wits about me (I guess) to nurse my wound.  I walked into the kitchen and realize I was cooking a ten course meal in the middle of the night.  One time I woke up at 5 in the morning to find myself flat on my back on the concrete deck behind my neighbor's house.  I did have my underwear on but it was October in Minnesota and it was a 40 degree night!  I felt great though!  Don't taunt Ambien!"


"I started in May and lost a total of 20 pounds starting weight was 205 now is 185. My doctor wants me to get to 160. 25 pounds more to go. I don't really exercise but I'm on my feet all day. I take it sometimes in the morning if I know I'm going to have a busy day. If I'm not I take before work at 3 pm.  Side effects dry mouth so I drink a lot of water, that really quinces my thirst but I'm using the bathroom a lot because of drinking so much. I don't eat that much and I try to stay away from sweets, soda, candy and Alcohol. So far so good. Good luck everyone."


"I started this pill in September 09. I lost 30 pounds my first 4 weeks, that's a pound a day! It gave me energy and the boost I needed to stop drinking soda, since it makes you feel so full, (since I have gone back to drinking soda, I don't feel it's working the same. I get hungry and I have to have a soda to make me full). My next appointment is this Friday. I will have to talk and see if this is normal. But as of all the symptoms I had the dry mouth and some not sleeping but only when I didn't go walking or work out. You have to work out or you wont sleep, if you make yourself tired you will. I found that out the first month but other than that its great and to anyone who needs to lose I would so recommend it."


"I have found perfect combo for me. I take one Linzess (145 MCG) at least one hour before breakfast and a tbs of Citracel orange drink every morning.  Linzess alone lost its effectiveness within a few weeks. I am 5' tall 110 lbs 75 years young. This combo keeps me as regular as clockwork for now."


"I have been suffering from extreme back pain neck pain and my legs and buttocks becomes numb after lying down for too long. The pain spread to my spine and my arms for two years. They finally diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. I have tried so many medications. Percocet morphine butrans Patch..but none of these worked very well. I had to stop working because the pain is so bad some days I struggle to get out of bed..I find the Tramadol works very well.it doesn't take all my pain away but makes it tolerable. I recently was put on Zytram Er which is the long acting Tramadol but I have to find the right dose..but I am optimistic because I have had good results with the Tramadol"


"Re Prozac: I started this medication May 1, 2016 for Anxiety and Panic Disorder. I started at Prozac 20 mgs and felt good but it suddenly stopped working after 10 days. 10 days later, I bumped it up to 40 mgs.  At the onset of taking 20 mgs and 40 mgs, my anxiety was 5 fold, unable to sleep well, constant nausea, & lost my appetite. I did use a benzo at times to reduce the anxiety which was high.

It is now June 10, 2016, I got my appetite back and sleep pattern was back to normal.

Prozac has made a big change in my life. I feel less anxiety and less panicky. Prozac is working pretty well thus far and haven't had to use a benzo in over 14 days. You must give Prozac at least 6 or 8 weeks and you'll know by that time if it is for you or not."


"I have very painful cramps, nausea, vomiting, the whole works. When I was younger, I'd have to come home early from school because I took the Advil too late, or was scared to take it at all for fear it would make the pain worse or wouldn't work at all. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. This is the case with all other pain medications I've tried to lessen my period pain. As for my 375 mg, prescription Naproxen, I can say that it worked fabulously the first time I used it. But today is the third time (month) I've used it and I'm in not-to-be-snuffed-at pain. I'm getting by with applied heat. I'm at a loss for what I should do this month and the next month and the next."


"I've been type 2 for over 12 yrs now. My glucose testing is anywhere from 15-21. I take Janumet, Glicizide Humalog x2 and lantus at bed, my doc started me on Jardiance 1.5 weeks ago and today my sugar was 5.6! This drug is amazing, but also I've cut out the sugared snacks and junk food. I feel amazing. My body is going through kinda of a shock because my levels were way outta whack. I recommend Jardiance to anyone that needs the boost."


"I had a psychotic episode last year. Its gone now, but I was given this medication to help ease the symptoms. It would say it's good for calming you down and I slept well on it.

It did help up until a point, then the voices and hallucinations came back. Got switched to Sulpiride and that seemed to be more helpful. On a high dose it dose make you twitch a lot and I struggled to pass urine (a listed side effect). Good for sleep and relaxation, but over all wasn't very effective."


"Made me sick first day nausea , dizzy, vomit, sweating, high blood pressure"


"My son has crohns and lost 30 lbs in 2.5 months. He took the medicine the doctor said to take but then he developed a fistula. I could tell he was in a lot of pain but yet he would not tell me what was going on. Both of us being very uneducated of this disease had no idea of the trouble he was headed towards. I made an appointment with the surgeon, the surgeon confirmed a fistula, and said he needed to take Remicade.
My son has had four Remicade treatments and I have to say he was doing a lot better after the first treatment. It has been almost 9 months now and he is back to his average weight of 190. We are both afraid of the Remicade and we don't talk about it very much at all but I do have to admit it has given my son his life back."


"A very large meningioma next to my pituitary gland damaged the pituitary and lessened the production of several hormones including growth hormone. This is a rare disorder and I had difficulty finding an endocrinologist who could diagnose the problem much less know how to treat it but was finally successful in finding a doctor who diagnosed my problem and prescribed Omnitrrope for me. After taking the medicine for four days my strength improved considerably. That was three years ago and I continue to use the medicine. I am confident it saved my life."


"In all honesty, I have mixed feelings about this medication. I don't know what the heck was put in this drugs molecular makeup that makes so many people nauseous? It is a good drug and it does actually work for memory, cognition, and depression (something that I don't have and thank goodness for that!!!) But I think that it needs to be taken off the market and re tweeked a little to get rid of the nausea aspect of this med! I mean, they try to make a med that doesn't cause the nasty side effects like weight gain, but I noticed that sometimes, it will make you look a little puffy by adding maybe a pound or three of water weight but that's it. Only gave it an 8 because it does work for cognition but the nausea... omg!!"


"So far Effexor XR has been a lifesaver with minimal side effects. As a full time care giver to my mom who has Alzheimer's, depression was slowly destroying me and I was a fool to think I was man enough to deal with it - with no help. After 3 weeks use, I had completely overcome my heavy alcohol use and my motivation, clarity and concentration levels returned to an above normal level. In the beginning I did experience the sweating side effect and felt a bit anxious. My doctor agreed he should have started me at the lowest dose instead of the 75mg. I now find that a 75mg dose every other day, supplemented with exercise on the non dose days has seriously turned my life around for the better."


"I have been using Ultram for about 2 months. I think this medicine works very well for pain, however the withdrawal side effects for me have been bad. If I stop taking this medicine for two days I experience cold sweats, hot flashes, can't sleep, my legs get restless at night. I find that I have to take the medicine without having pain, just to feel like my normal self again. The restless legs is probably the worst part of the withdrawal symptoms. It does however work fairly well for pain if taken regularly."


"I have absolutely loved the Mirena the last 4 years. I did not realize that the other issues I had could be contributed by the Mirena.  My scalp, my face, and my neck has broke out very badly.  The acne is like cysts in some areas.  They last for 6 months   and are very hard.  I have gained 65 lbs while working out 1 1/2 hrs a day by running 10 miles, gym time, or swimming laps. I eat healthy and stay away from junk food.  I recently started experiencing excessive  sweating.  Started with breasts sweating, then feet even wearing flip-flops, and now pouring from my forehead.  I love not having periods and am terrified of going back to bad cramps, but I believe that switching my method of birth control is the best thing I can do."


"I've been using it about a month now and I've noticed my skin actually getting worse. I've seen no improvement. "


"I am on my second week and I have lost around 2 pounds. When I first take the dose I have really bad indigestion, sour stomach, nausea, stomach cramping and diarrhea. Then after the first initial dose the symptoms calm down and I just have indigestion."


"I have been taking Janumet 50/1000MG for 7 months now and my blood sugar has dropped from 18.1 to approx 8 and general haemoglobin down from 120 to 50. Yes, occasionally a headache when I first wake up but after a cup of coffee and a few glasses of diet soda it's gone. (Every medicine has some type of side effects even aspirin so I feel you have to accept for example the odd headache) No other side effects. I am very happy with this medicine. I live in Denmark and because we have a world class health system (also 40% income tax) after you use approx $300 of your own money per year you get a rebate of 85% on all diabetes medicine plus 150 strips and lancets and blood sugar machine free per year"


"Been on Buspar 6 weeks & 1 day today. Trying to stay the course & not give up till 8 weeks.

On 15mg (3x /day) & titrated my way up over the last 6 wks. Tried 20mg but felt like I took speed & my extremities had very uncomfortable tingling.

Even at 6 wks when I take my 5mg dose my heart still races & I get dizzy & feel some heightened anxiety about an hour after taking it. Lasts about an hour. I also have some left leg thigh pain now.

I’ve read so much on this drug & it’s hard to know if you should go up or down in dose to get the right level for your body. My pDoc doesn’t seem to know much more than I do.

In those 6 wks I’ve only had a few hours out of 2 non-consecutive days of anxiety/fear relief.

 I’ll write another review at 8 wks"


"This is my second time writing a review, after reading others responses: I'm putting this out here, I'm 18 & got Nexplanon implanted on May 13th, 2016. The BC is effective because the side effects this contraceptive brings along has made me incredibly insecure to became intimate. Around the time I received my bar I was 156 pounds, instead of gaining weight, I have lost some! Not so bad, but that is the only side effect I haven't experienced. Constant bleeding/Clotting brown goo, anxiety, depression(I just want to be alone most of the time), vulnerable, sensitivity, ACNE(skin has been moderately clear my whole life), Insecurity, lack of appetite, dizziness, and lack of sleep & concentration. This has been the worst experience. Not worth it."


"I have been on this pill for the past 5 years now. When I first began this pill I had no issues, it immediately regulated my period and decreased cramping and acne. However, over the past few years I have noticed an increase in negative side effects associated with this pill. I find myself to become randomly depressed, emotional and angry. I have little to no sex drive as well as terrible migraines during the week before my period. I have been prescribed 800mg ibuprofen for these migraines, as my gynecologist suggested it could be due to low estrogen levels and they don't even help. I am considering changing pills due to the uncomfortable side effects."


"I've been on an ever-increasing dose for over a year now; this med doesn't want to stay in my system. I'm currently at 2k mg/day, and it still doesn't register in the blood test as a therapeutic dose. Despite this, even when I first started at very low doses, I had immediate reactions. Some very bad; killed my immune system and I got a cough so bad I cracked 2 ribs. Some very good; somehow, my long-distance vision improved. Neurologist suggested I'm in a state of "near-constant aura" from migraines and this med reduced that, along with some facial numbness I didn't know I had until it went away. Seizures are controlled while it's in my system."


"I'm 56 with dry eyes since my 20s. Eyes always red like I've been crying. Been using moisture drops for 30 years. Had a reaction to the preservative in the drops, switched to preservative free Retain, only at Walgreens, $23 for 30 vials. Helpful, not a cure, used them 6 to 8 times/day. When waking, eyes were always painfully dry. Tried EVERYTHING.

Last month I started on Xiidra. Helps a little, when I wake I actually make a bit of tears. Eyes are still very red and irritated. Taste no problem, burns/itches a few minutes after applying, but goes away. Still use moisture drops but not as often. Retail $585/mon, but Xiidra coupon for 1st mon free and $10/mon for as long as I use them. Wouldn't use if had to pay full."


"Continuation from previous review.. Been on for 5 days and have had to force myself to eat so that I have energy.  It's been great.  I have no cravings, and I don't want to eat every second of every day.  I used to eat when I was bored and even now when I'm bored I still don't want too eat.  It's awesome."


"This is my second time on Wellbutrin XL. I took it once when I was 14-15 with no negative side effects and I'm now 18. My doctor started me on 150mg and then bumped me up to 300mg and it helped so much. This time when I started, I got headaches for the first 10 days which were pretty bad sometimes but it was worth sticking them out (I had headaches during depression anyway). And for a period of 1-2 weeks I would wake up in the middle of the night for no reason but I could usually always go back to sleep. I have more energy and I don't dwell on things as much. Overall, very satisfied."


"Have taken it 3 times and ended up in the hospital with severe electrolyte deficiencies.  Works well and fast - lost 20 lbs in 3 days. However, for me requires monitoring of electrolytes which doctors will not do regularly."


"I have felt so wonderful since I had the Mirena inserted over a week ago - I feel like my old self! I have suffered for over a decade with huge fibroids, have been through two major open surgeries, multiple minor ones, have had horrendous periods, PMS through the roof, you name it - I've had it. This past week I have been energetic, happy, smiling and just plain normal!! I haven't felt like this for years and I can only assume my body is responding well to it. I hope my positive experience stays. I had it inserted under general anesthetic as my gyno did a hysteroscopy while she was in there."


"I tried Elmiron for 6 months.  It caused headaches at first, but those stopped after a few weeks.  Two months in, I started losing hair.  Once it started, it didn't stop.  I lost hair all over, so I didn't have any bald spots, but my hair is STILL visibly thinner than it used to be (stopped taking Elmiron 8 months ago).  It also had no effect on my symptoms.  I did, however, find some relief from a combo of other drugs: amitriptyline, hydroxyzine, gabapentin, uribel, myrbetriq, tramadol, and vaginal valium.  I also to take prelief, desert harvest aloe vera, and I try to stick with the IC diet.  Good luck to everyone.  IC sucks."


"Terrible! I've been constantly irritable since switching to this from ortho tri cyclen. I've also experienced low sex drive, intense food cravings, and vaginal irritation. My pharmacy told me this would be the same as ortho tri cyclen buts it's definitely not. I thought I was losing my mind until I started researching this drug and saw how many women were having the same problems.  I went to the pharmacy today and they switched back to the ortho tri cyclen.  It's so expensive but definitely worth it if it makes these mood swings go away."


"This changed my entire world..
I'm 21
Female
I've been on Lexapro for 3 months now. My experience, there was a very quick change in my life. I was not aware I had major depression, that was the real kicker. I do not remember a time I felt this alive/"normal"/happy/connected."


"I was prescribed cipro after the first antibiotic didn't completely work for a UTI.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG!!!! POISON  PLEASE GOOGLE what has happened to people who have taken this horrible drug that the FDA finally gave it a black box warning.  I have pain in my hips, shoulders and arms b/c of this drug"


"Just got my Implanon replaced with the Nexplanon. So far so good with the Nexplanon, the only thing I don't like is that I'm breaking out really bad."


"I feel all hung over, all day the next day, after I take just a 50 mg of trazadone."


"Started taking on 2/7/2016 as well as vitamin shots from a weight loss clinic and a 1200 calorie diet. Starting weight 243lbs. I am 5'5 and 30 yrs old. Since starting I have experience more energy, less hunger and I have lost 6lbs in 3 days. It is hard for me to get 1200 calories in. I do a meal replacement bar at breakfast with the medicine and a shake at lunch. dinner is my only real meal. I have yet to find the time to get the gym (I was going prior). I am extremely thirsty all day my intake is in excess of 130 ozs daily. prior I was at 60oz. my heart rate has increased but not to an alarming level.  Will update after full month"


"I am 25 (2016) and got it inserted in December 2014.

Insertion: a painful procedure for a tiny insertion. Followed by intense discomfort and pelvic pain, constant bleeding and pelvic and vaginal pain.

Symptoms: first month or so nonstop bleeding, mood imbalance.

3 months. Continued frequent bleeding weight gain of 5 pounds.

6 months gained 15 pounds

1.5 years gained 20 pounds ( vegan, fit although no weight loss or maintenance)

Experienced depressive symptoms such as lack of excitement, happiness, and lack of interest in previously preferred activities, fatigue and lethargy. I WAS GIVEN AS A METHOD TO TREAT NOT ONLY MENNORAGIA BUT OVARIAN CYST PAIN. REMOVE AS THIS IS COUNTERINTUITIVE AS ONE OF THE RISK"


"I have found this medication to be very successful for me. I started on the 20 mcg/hr patch because of post op nerve pain continually wakening me throughout the night (with all the results a lack of sleep has on you both physically and mentally). Through the use of the patches, I have been able to finally sleep the night through and reduce other medicines (Lortab/Flexiril/Klonipin) and stop one other completely. It is a low enough dose that doesn't make you all loopy while still strong enough to have a long term effect on my arch nemesis and yours, pain. Even if my insurance didn't pay for it, it is the one medicine I would still purchase out of pocket."


"I was a HUGE skeptic but my lack of libido was threatening my marriage. I love my husband enough to give it a go. Within 3 weeks I was astonished. I forgot, literally forgot what it felt like to get horny and only started to remember after Addyi! This medication works!!!!! I now am convinced I had hypo active sexual desire. Despite loving my husband I dreaded sex. Now I enjoy it again and feel the desire that was so lacking. I am a big fan of this medication. I highly recommend it. It's worth a shot if it works as well for you as its working for me."


"I was nervous after these reviews but it works wonders and I had no serious side effects.. I was suffering with a sinus infection for weeks and literally after the first tablet I felt a bit better and in a few days in I was completely fine but of course I had to take the full course.

I DID have a few mild side effects. The night I took the first pill, I felt really hot. I had no temperature bu I suppose it's similar to what a hot flash would feel like-maybe it was the meds getting to work. They also gave me HORRIBLE nightmares EVERY night-it was weird. Also, they say to take lots of water-didn't have to tell me twice because I was terribly thirsty and felt 'dried out' so it made me guzzle water, anyway. However, it worked well and soon."


"Have been on Twynsta for 4 years...I have a great BP 112/70. And absolutely no side effects. I am completely happy with it."


"I thought this pill was awful. .So bad I could only take it for 5 days before I quit. It gave me awful cramps, and then  after I quit I have been dealing with constant urges to go the bathroom (urinate) for two weeks now. I never had that before taking the pill. Its just awful...I don't recommend!"


"I still have some side effects from the medication. But they are much better than the last medication.

One blue black discoloration from one injection,

Occasional headache,

Hypertension,

Occasionally speaking problems,

Occasionally vomiting,

Decreased sexual ability"


"After I had my son I decided to try Implanon. It took no time to put in and was relatively painless. It did hurt for a couple days after but nothing like the Depo shot. I have had no side effects. I have actually lost weight. And the best thing is I don't have to remember to take it everyday! I have had maybe 2 periods which was more like spotting in the last year that I have had it. It's great!"


"I am a huge fan. Read a lot of negative reviews prior to deciding, and promised myself that if I loved it I would share! Got it 1.25 years ago. I got it for contraception, I haven't had any children. Painless procedure- just pressure. Bad bad cramping for the rest of the day- I would take Panadol before going in next time so that it was kicking in earlier. I would also advise having the day off work. After day one it's been ace! Smooth sailing. I get my period for about 2 days very lightly once every 5 months. And amazingly pain free (used to get bad cramps). No weight gain or loss. No hair loss. No nausea. Better skin! So, I am a advocate. Good luck."


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy at 18 years old, I have been taking Dexedrine for a little over a year now. I recommend using Dexedrine because it does a great job of keeping you awake without the nasty side effects that other medicines bring, like Adderall. Dexedrine has really changed my life, I am able to confidently drive and good at work without having to worry about falling asleep. I really wish I had this in High School. For all the younger people out there with narcolepsy ask your doctor to put you on Dexedrine, it's less expensive than Adderall and Vyvanse (Vyvanse didn't work for me I fell asleep several times on it). The side effects I find with it is sometimes it gives me mood swings, most of the time its a feeling of optimism."


"Had the implant since May 2015. Bleeding was bad for the 1st 8 weeks or so, a little more hair loss but that's all. I do struggle to lose weight haven't really put any weight on since May. Would recommend it to others especially older ladies I am late 30s"


"I used Celexa and it was rough.  I then went and looked at all the side effects and realized that THE ANXIETY IT WAS TREATING WAS ALSO A SIDE EFFECT.

I then in a last ditch effort went to a chiropractor and he changed my life.  He explained HOW CHIROPRACTIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NECK AND BACK PAIN.  He explained that stress is necessary to live and is a good thing!  Our issue with stress is that our body isn't adapting properly to the stress.  Chiropractors help our nervous system flow properly so we don't need drugs by removing subluxations.  (A subluxation is an interference in the brain body connection)

If there is something you could do so you wouldn't have to deal with stress, would you?  See a subluxation based chiropractor!"


"I'm 35. Had trouble sometimes when I was having sex with a new partner.  Spoke to my doctor, who said it probably not physical and to be more communicative to be more relaxed.  Found someone's Viagra pills they left behind, and decided to try one.  Problem solved, and no side effects.  Went back to MD, and was given Levitra (because it's in the formulary) and it works great too.  I take half a 20 mg pill."


"It is the only medication that has worked for me. Others such tenex and risperdal made my tics increase 10 fold."


"I had a terrible case of Chronic Prostatitis caused by enterococcus. All antibiotics that this bacteria was sensitive to would not enter the protaste gland properly. My doctor prescribed 6 others antibiotics before Avelox. Thank God Avelox killed this nasty infection.

I had to take it for 6 weeks. After the second week I was feeling normal again (after 10 months of fighting). Magic little red pills."


"I started the medicines and it worked okay. Then they started to up my dosage and I felt sluggish. Once I got to the amount I was supposed to be at, I was paranoid, distant and irritable. My period is 10 times worse. The cramps are unbearable. My face broke out and I look like the before picture of a proactive commercial. I have to pee frequently. I'm getting off these medicine as soon as possible. I've been taking them for 5 months now."


"At 3 months post partum I started experiencing slight symptoms of PPD. I handled it and worked myself through it, thought I had it under control until I found myself uncontrollably crying, panic attacks, insomnia, excessive anger, lots of feelings of self worthlessness. My Dr first proscribed me Zoloft at 5 months post partum, for 3 weeks I had no luck. She then switched me to Effexor xr 37.5mg, as they say, the "light bulb" came back on after 2 weeks. I have had very bad anxiety since I was 14, I am now currently taking Effexor xr 75mg daily and am at 7 months post partum. Depression, the horrible self feelings I experienced were not anything I have ever felt with prior to this experience. Effexor changed my life!"


"I was diagnosed with borderline polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was younger having bad side effects on my body including severe acne when I was 16 I went on a course of Accutane and it worked amazingly. I had small breakouts now and then but nothing that compared to what it used to be. I now am 24 and was prescribed spironolactone because symptoms of PCOS were arising and endocrinologist and dermatologist suggested going on this medication to reduce hair growth and so far I'm disappointed. I know that it takes a couple of months for a medicine to fully take effect but my acne has become so severe, along my chin area and I pray that this is just initial and it will go away. "


"I started taking Lutera about 4 months ago.  I haven't had too many side effects, but the ones that I have had affect sex which is the reason for taking the pill.  I think my acne has cleared up, no real weight gain, some mood swings, but not very many or severe.  The biggest issue has been my period not being regular.  I've started it over two weeks early and it has lasted the enitre time.  Lately I've been having more brown spotting about a week before my period, it's lasted the entire week, and then my regular period starts.  Other then issues with spotting and my period starting early each month, the pill has been fine.  Hopefully the spotting will stop soon or I'll need to switch to an entire new pill."


"Tricor- caused me chest pain, fever, rapid heartbeat, impotence and erectile dysfunction."


"This stuff is not only has a vile taste, it's torture.  I will never take it again.  I've had bowel cleanses before but nothing can compare to the terrible night I had with this  I threw up the second dose it was so bad."


"I am prescribed Amitriptyline due to side effects from Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.  I have been taking it for approximately 18 months, and the only negative side effect I ever had was seriously dry mouth.  As I have continued to take it, the side effect has gone away."


"I have had trigeminal neuralgia for about six years, I am 32. Luckily for me the pain has been bearable and I felt I had not needed medication until this year (2014) when the pain became really agonizing. I have been pain free since starting the med. Every now and then I will get a little twitch or pinch from the trigeminal nerve, but nothing like the shooting pain I was having before. I take 300mg every night before bed.  Recently, there was a mix up with the prescription refill and my insurance, and due to these circumstances I went about a week without taking the medication.  The trigeminal pain slowly came back and became more and more intense during the time I had run out. This medicine is great, pain went away soon after taking it again."


"I have been on this pill for 2 months now, I plan on doing one more month to see if it gets better. BUT, I have never in my life been more depressed, and I was a very very happy person before starting this pill. I feel sad all the time, I pick fights, and it has put a huge strain on my relationship with my fiancé and I suddenly hate my job (which I always loved) I highly don't recommend this pill to anyone so far!"


"I am a Parkinson's patient for 6 years.  Insomnia due to muscle pain & contractions has plagued my ability to sleep.  Previously a very healthy & fit person who rarely took medication.

At my MD request I reluctantly tried Trazodone 50mg.   I take only half a pill along with half a PD pill 30 mins before bed.

It's been amazing, no side effects, awesome sleeps & if I wake up for a washroom visit, easy 2 get back to sleep.  No morning drousyness.  The small amount of anti depressant is a bonus.

I don't do every night but can assure it's not addictive."


"My daughter is 7 now and we leave in Brasil. Recently we visited the Amen Clinic in Reston/VA and her life changed. The doctor gave her Lamictal   Intuniv. It didn't work as expected, she continued to be very hyper. So her Doctor decided to replace Lamictal for Abilify 5mg/day   Intuniv 0.5mg/day. What a miracle. My daughter never played by herself for more than 5 minutes, now she plays quietly for hours. She's now the perfect little girl we always wanted and we can really enjoy being with her. She still needs to improve at school, can't focus without assistance, but we think this is improving as well, as it is right now. I must say we are very pleased with the combination Abilify   Intuniv."


"I have been smoke free for 28 days, I am very happy the results and I don't think I will ever start smoking again.

very happy with the results."


"I have been taking Zoloft for 1 year 4 months and at the back of my mind I have this niggling voice that tells me I cannot be on this medicine forever. Zoloft changed my life, saved me my marriage and kids and gave me back my life and laughter. If it was not for Zoloft I would have jumped off a bridge by now! Why I rated it 9/10 is because I have gained 9 pounds since I have been on it and the pounds are just refusing to fall off. Very increased appetite due to being sane and happy, hanging out, having good and bad food and having my glass of wine! Rather be fat and happy then thin and miserable."


"It's one of those pills that I dread having to take -- no matter what, without fail, it makes me feel sick to my stomach. It hasn't lessened in the least and sure, it's gone by morning, but in the meantime it's pure hell."


"Works pretty good. Doesn't screw with your mind ."


"I was put onto Apri because I had horrible cramps and long heavy periods. I took it for about six months, and around the 5 month mark, my longtime boyfriend and I broke up. He told me it was because I was "too emotional" and stressed him out. He was right, before Apri I was always happy and relaxed, but on it. I would lie in bed at night and cry sometimes for no reason at all. I had constant fatigue, frequent headaches, mood-swings, moodiness, and felt depressed a lot of the time. After a conversation with my boyfriend, I realized that we began to argue about the time I got onto Apri. I went to my doctor and told her this and she told me that this was because its high levels of progesterone. I switched and am much better now without Apri."


"My sleep problem is describe as: ease of falling asleep; extreme-difficulty staying asleep for more than three hours; however, mostly-pleasant dream occurences. I take Ambien occasionally in attempt to fully replenish my body's energy-level. To not become dependent, on occassion I will try Rozerem. The problem then becomes, each time I take Rozerem, it causes me to sleep very lightly with what some may consider "intense-Viagra Effect". It is only after I take some measure to resolve this effect that I then am able to obtain a deep sleep for about five hours; but this deep sleep is always accompanied by what I consider extremely unusual or unpleasant dreams."


"I was hoping that it would help with the itching from psoriasis but I got very little to no relief.  I took it at night like the directions instructed but I still could not get a good night sleep and during the day I still had severe itching."


"If there was an option for zero stars out of ten it would receive zero. I got this put in my arm about a year and a half ago and since then have put on right around 100lbs. I never get a period but have the worst cramps I've ever had in my life around every 3 months. I've never had acne, and now I can't get rid of it no matter how much medication I use. I am overly emotional and have the worst mood swings.  My best advice: STAY AWAY FROM IMPLANON"


"I was given this for what was supposed to be Tempromandicular joint dysfuntion. It worked for four days. Until the pain became so great I went in crying & shaking. Turned out I had to get my tooth extracted & a bone graft. My filling had cracked and the nerve was exposed & dying. Increased me to 10 mg, not only was my mouth pain free after surgery; my two herniated disc & pinch nerves ; my back, neck & shoulder was almost pain free. I was able to do laundry and cook for my family. Best thing ever after 12 years of no relief. I take the smallest dose 5 mg with the option to take 2 if needed."


"I have been on Seasonique for almost a year now and have had no problems until just recently. The past couple of months I have been extremely bloated (to the point where I thought I was pregnant and took a pregnancy test) and have been very exhausted. I stay tired all day and no matter how much sleep I get I just want to lay in bed. I have also been bleeding very heavily for over 5 weeks now, and I am no where close to the time I'm supposed to bleed. The cramps and bleeding have been heavier/worse than I've ever had. "


"I have had a lot of additional stress added in the last 4 years... death of a parent, a lot of hurtful things from my other parent, my spouse cheating, then everyday things like the stresses of young children, school, sports, etc.
Over these years I have tried every antidepressant out there! It either didn't work, or it made me feel like a zombie. And they ALWAYS made my sex drive go to zero!
I had given up on every prescription and had not taken anything for almost a year. I had no energy, it didn't take much for me to get annoyed and aggravated with people (including my kids) and I just didn't feel a lot of joy.
My doctor tried me on Viibryd and I feel GREAT! I have great energy, don't lose my temper with my kids or husband, and still have sex drive!"


"My extended release pill, 30mg Vyvanse, only lasts for about 5 hours for me. My doctor prescribed a short acting pill, which was Dexedrine for doing my homework at night. Took 5mg and felt literally nothing after waiting an hour. Then took another 5mg (as my doctor said I might need). I did feel a lot less hyperactive, but almost to the point of sluggish. My concentration improved the tiniest bit, but not nearly as well compared to Vyvanse. This pill seems to work better at combating ADHD symptoms, but not really ADD symptoms. I would advise trying Vyvanse."


"My 6 year old son, has been battling some "mental demons", he has been hospitilized twice, for mood swings, severe outbursts and psychosis..I still do not have an exact diagnosis. He has been on 3 different medications with minimal effectiveness.. I am a single mother, and my life has been pure hell the last 2 years dealing with these circumstances...I was at my end.  I was in a complete state of perplexion on what to do...The doctors prescribed Abilify..I can not believe the difference it has made...My son enjoys his life! He smiles now! He is sweet natured! He tells me at least once a day, how much better he feels! It's only been 2 weeks, I am confident that with constant monitoring and encourgement that he will only progress from here!"


"Unbelievable! I think and concentrate much better , focus, it does effect for men a little down below, but it makes you focus so you are very hi libido. Men know what I am talking about. It is great for that you mind does not wonder.  I've only been on it for a week, it works immediately. And yes you worry because you can see things so good, and you are not used to it. So I get scared, that should go away. try it. you don't like, try something else, controlled substance, hard to get. Psychiatry will get this for you, and you need prior authorization depending on insurance."


"I got my Paragard put in 3 days ago, and I will let you all know I was absolutely terrfied. I researched and researched for weeks before and almost decided against it from all the horror stories I read. Ladies passing out, bleeding all the time, cramps from hell etc. Well my doctor herself had an IUD put in, so she firsthand knew how badly they hurt. The entire procedure took less than 5 minutes, and when I was done I said "was that it?? That's all?" it wasn't bad at all, and I had very very minor cramping in the days following. It is absolutely worth it for what it's worth! Highly recommend."


"My hair began to fall within a month of starting nature-throid. I had not been on any thyroid meds prior and although I have stopped taking nature-throid, I have lost about 3/4 of my hair in less than 6 months with zero signs of slowing down. Have cut out inflammatory foods and supplementing as per my naturopath  but to no avail. Still fatigued, leg cramps, irritable  (all symptoms prior to meds) and now hair loss. Never again and I regret taking nature-throid."


"Read all prescriptions profiles provided by pharmacy!  Have taken drug for 3+ years and by accident learned I hadve side effects to it.  I have experienced 80% of all adverse reactions listed; the worse being constant copious amounts of choking mucus/phlegm from throat/sinus, asthmatic bronchitis, severe fatigue, etc.  Never in a million years would I have guessed it was Lisinopril, but just happened to be out of the medication for 3 days and woke up on the 3rd day without any of the choking phlegm in my throat & bronchial tract every morning for the past 3+ years.  Current Doc (who didn't initially prescribe drug) is thrilled to discover the culprit he's been searching for  2+ years!  Good-bye erroneous early-stage COPD diagnoses, I'm cured!"


"I was plugged up really bad for almost a week and 3 days I was taking exlax doculax and Miralax and I couldn't get anything at so I tried the cherry flavor pretty good actually well I chugged it at 7 stayed up till 1 had a little farting so I said hey I'll go to bed and see what happens in the morning sure enough woke up at 8 and here she came lol and yes it still hurt but I was so glad when I was finally able to pass the plug now it's 8 pm and I'm on my 6th BM.... it's a great product will use it next time them dumb pain pills get to me!"


"I am a 60 year male who became disabled 14 years ago.  Every since I was unable to work or even walk I have been very depressed and had severe anxiety.  Once I was started on 20 mgs of Lexapro I felt like a new person.  It took a week or so for the full effect to come on but  have had no problems with side effects at all.  Thank God for Lexapro!"


"Works amazingly!"


"Intense abdominal pain. Bloody diarrhea.
Loss of blood from diarrhea causing excessive weakness.
Resulting in 6 day intensive care in hospital."


"Prescribed Phentermine 37.5 mg after struggling to lose weight. I am 27 years old, 5 foot 6 & weighed 227 lbs. As I am getting married & will hopefully be starting a family next year, I wanted to look/feel my best AND be healthy. I took my 1st full pill around 7 AM on 10/8 & did feel extra energy ALL day. Honest to God, I did not feel hungry once. I ate a small breakfast & my fiance had to remind me to make something for lunch. When I eat, I eat a much smaller portion. Amazing how it feels to not be focusing your whole day on food!! I have had zero negative side effects (I am on my 3rd day taking a full pill in the AM) - no dry mouth, no insomnia, no mood swings, nothing. Weighed myself this morning: down to 218.6. Almost 9 lbs in 3 days."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for joint & muscle pain due to hemochromatosis for about 6 weeks now and it has made a huge difference, and I find that I have almost no side effects. For the first week or so the side effects were terrible, but they eased up after that."


"I think its great. I was skeptical when my doctor prescribed it to me, as it is so unfamiliar to me, especially as a pain medicine. I thought I had tried everything. It is for chronic back pain due to a severe spinal injury I suffered two years and 3 surgeries ago. My pain has been steadily decreasing since I started taking this medication four days ago. Thank Science."


"I've read a lot of the other reviews because I have been having trouble with anger and frustration and it is over little things that shouldn't normally bother me so I wondered if it was micronor. I have been taking it for three months now. It's the first pill I have used for contraception, and like a lot of other women here, I was recommended this one because I have a history of migraines. My periods haven't stopped and aren't any heavier. I don't get cramps much any more. So that's a bonus. No visible weight gain and no bad skin. The only thing I really noticed is breast tenderness for the first month pretty much constantly but it wasn't unmanageable. I think give it time, it's affects change over time"


"My experience with Depo-Provera was horrible. I had horrible mood swings and I spotted the entire 3 months until the shot left my system. Then my period didn't show up for 5 months. My face started breaking out, not badly, but enough for people to notice. I also developed cysts on my ovaries that began rupturing and was put in the hospital for them. It has been almost a year and my face is finally starting to clear up. But I didn't get pregnant...so I guess that is one advantage."


"I hadn't had a proper BM for about 2 weeks. I Picked up Dulcolax sensitive and took 2 pills at 10pm, at 2.38am the cramps started. It started with the worst cramps I've ever experienced together with intense nausea and vomiting, cold sweats (to the point my fingers and lips were blue) and terrible shakes. By around 4am I had my first BM which was significant and I then spent until 1.30pm continuously on the toilet simultaneously vomiting and having diarrhoea. It's now 4.30pm I can't even take a sip of water without vomiting, I'm still having painful cramps and I feel extremely weak. I would never recommend this medication to anyone, no matter how 'effective' it is."


"I have been diagnosed with absence seizures and have had several Grand Mals for 6 years now, but have been seizure-free for 4 years, after being put on Depakote ER.  I went through 2 prior doctors and twice as many medicines before finding the right one. If taken in the morning, I get nauseous and I'm always tired, but otherwise, no problems. 155 lb female on 500 mg once daily."


"My doctor prescribed this to me for my cystic acne that I've been having for years now and it has given me low self-esteem and low confidence, but after being on this for 3 months there is a CLEAR difference in my skin. I don't really break out anymore unless its that time of the month and I did not go through a purge face personally, but my acne remained in the same condition for about a month and a half of using the medicine. So my advice is just to be patient, stick to ONE facial routine and do your research on the products you are using. The results are definitely worth the wait. You can do it! And try to stay off antibiotics because they are internally harmful over long periods of time and they will break you out once you come off them."


"I have had chronic insomnia for 5 years.  I struggle to fall asleep, and once I'm asleep, I never sleep longer than 45 minutes - 1 hour without waking up.  I take Ambien when I can afford it, so I have to limit myself to only a few times a week. I was given a sample pack of Silenor about a year ago, but the online reviews made me not want to try it.  I was desperate last night, so I tried one 3mg. My heart raced and it did not make me sleepy. I took another half 3mg. and finally dozed off about an hour later. The amazing thing is that even though I never felt sleepy from it like I do with Ambien,  I actually slept for 3 straight hours on the Silenor.  I do have a tiny headache today, so I don't know if I will take it again."


"Xanax is an excellent medicine for myself. It has prevented panic attacks and helped me through times of rough anxiety. Ativan never worked for me and Klonopin makes me drunk-like and put me in the hospital 3 times. The hospital finally said I have an allergy to Klonopin and could no longer take it. After going on Xanax, I felt so much better and relieved. I try not to take Xanax everyday, as it is not meant to be a long-term solution to anxiety and can be very addicting, so be very careful. I am on Paxil CR and Risperdal on top of Xanax for my anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder, and OCD."


"I take this medication for diabetic nerve damage. Today my son just had it prescribed for severe anxiety. His social anxiety is so severe he doesn't leave the house unless he had a dose of Klonopin or two. He is not able to work because of his intense panic and he vomits from intense nausea. When he told me the doctor prescribed him this medicine I started researching. I'm glad to hear good things and am hoping this will truly help him."


"I started using this in December, weighing 276lbs.  As of today (105 days later), I weigh 250. I tried losing the weight with inconsistent results for 6 months before that.  The phentermine/topiramate combo helped me keep on track and maintain steady results.  I use it in addition to the workout and nutrition plan I was already keeping.  Carbs come from veggies and fruits.  Personal side effects: dry mouth and reduced sense of smell (I am always smelling things that others around me do not).  Using prescription drug discount cards I've been able to bring down the monthly out-of-pocket expense."


"I had endoscopic sinus surgery and took 80 pills in the first two weeks.  The pharmacist made me feel like an addict, and made me so mad! Now my pain is reducing a lot, it has been three weeks since surgery and I use only one  pill to make it through my work day.  I have no side effects and do not want to get addicted, but it really helps A LOT with pain control and lets me function instead of cry and whine."


"I had bad cases of blackheads and I wanted to be acne free for my Graduation. I started taking this in December of 2012. My skin was clear, I was happy, until February of 2013. My vision started a black veil curtain effect, I would get severe dizziness. Went to the eye doctor, got sent to a hospital, they didn't know what was wrong with me, all of a sudden I got something wrong in my spine  andnstarted crushing my brain and eye nerves. I got 3 lumbar punctures and a medicine called Diamox. I got worse and worse and one day I said screw it, and I stopped taking everything. It all cleared up and went away, however, I now have nerve damage in my back and the vision and dizziness will never truly disappear. Effective meds, but at what cost you should ask..."


"I have been on this medication for almost 2 months and am ready to stop! I have had 3 periods since October 13th along with pain in my legs while walking and even laying down! The worst part is I am flipping out over every little thing, been fighting with my boyfriend since starting this pill because my emotions are way out of control.  I am calling Dr tomorrow to find another option"


"I am taking this medicine for severe anxiety and worry. I've tried many other medicines with little benefit and my doctor said that gabapentin works well in patients where the traditional SSRI's don't work. She was right. Within THREE DAYS I found significant relief from my symptoms. The only downside is INSOMNIA. Not sure this is even a common side effect but I haven't slept in like five days. Hoping I don't have to get off of the medicine because it is really helping me, but man am I tired."


"As this medicine may have helped with my nerve pain it's not worth ALL the side effects I've experienced! This drug has horrible side effects! I'm trying to get off the medication 7 days later still have severe side effects! Look at the side effects before you start your regiment."


"Strep was diagnosed at the 3rd day, and 1st dose of Amoxicillin cleared all the pus. Also had a steroid shot for swelling, but 1 Amox pill and I was 75% back to normal.

I never take antibiotics EVER, so I think that really helped the drug kick ultimate germ ass."


"While hydroquinone active ingredient has been effective for me in the past, Melpaque from Stratus Pharma is a orange tinted cream. The tint is from iron oxide which is touted as the sunblock. However, unless you have the complexion of an Oompah Loompa, I'd recommend specifying that your pharmacy NOT choose this generic version to fill your prescription. In researching this cream, I found that the company has a questionable reputation. My prescription did not specify a tinted cream and I will try to return it."


"Doctor did not warn about the dry ejaculate so I was really spooked that maybe my system had shut down until I googled about it. Otherwise, the medicine did exactly what was needed.  I'm 48 and got a mysterious prostrate infection.  I did have to be at home with a catheter for 3 days waiting for the Cipro to treat the infection and Rapaflo to let me pee.  Apparently good results based on the time.  I dropped my drawers for more strangers that week than anytime since college and was glad to do it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I had stomach cramps within minutes of starting my first glass of Golytely and started my first bowel movement before I could even finish my first glass! Aside from the nasty taste and the stomach cramps, I have to say this really works. I think my colon will be completely clear for the colonoscopy tomorrow morning at the rate I'm going and that's saying a lot since I'm disabled and have zero control down there in that area."


"I used this medication 12 years ago (I am 37 now, so I was 25).

In 3 wks I gained 15lbs. My calves became very swollen and crampy and my memory began to go. I was a server at a popular restaurant.  I had regular customers and all of a sudden I couldn't remember their orders (they ordered the same thing every week for a year)... I'm certain it is from Ortho Evra. It took years to get those 15lbs off. It completely messed up my metabolism and my memory has never recovered... I have a 16yr old daughter who will never use the patch because of my experience."


"Although the spotting does suck , its 100% effective. I would recommend it to everyone. I still have normal mood swings, bloating and cramping , but nothing like what I've read in some of the reviews. The only real side effect I've gotten was a really bad headache and the spotting.
Best Perk, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant for 3 years. Suck it up ladies and use it. I didn't get mine to reduce my periods, I got it cause I don't want kids."


"I have been treated with situational depression that turned to a chemical imbalance and have tried just about every SSRI/ SNRI out there. I was on Cymbalta 60mg alone for several years and even with ability 2mg but it wasn't until I tried cymbalta 60mg with Abilify 5 mg that I saw real results I have more energy than I have had in several years, my anxiety and social anxiety levels have diminished to almost non existent. I don't seem to have any side effects from the Abilify. Hope some of you try my advice."


"I do not recommend this drug due to the side affects. I experienced depression, mood swings, anger, and aggressive behaviors while on this drug. It is unfortunate that I have spent $120 out of pocket and have been unable to receive a refund for such a bad product. Please consider a different weight loss medication. I am highly disappointed in Qysmia."


"So after having my son in 2012 I decided to go on the depo. No one bothered to tell my it would kill my calcium levels. That my hair and teeth would start to fall out. And that after going off the depo not only would I bleed for 55 days after going off of it but that every month after, I'd have excruciating cramps severe hip and pelvic pain. And have to change my pad/tampon every hour or else I'd be sitting in my own blood. Its not been a year since going off of it and NOTHING is any better."


"I gained some weight and felt constipated, but it works very well when it's combined with Lamictal. It cured my insomnia and rage."


"I have been taking this medication for only 12 days. My skin used to be perfect and I did not even have to wear any makeup. My skin has become horrendous, and I haven't even been on the pill for 2 weeks. I am stopping it tomorrow and I am going to see if this clears up my face. My cheeks, jawline, and chin broke out so much and I have never had that happen before. I hate it so much and I don't even want to leave my house. Please check with your doctor and other people who are on this to see of this is right for you."


"Has caused chronic pain, muscle cramps, loss of muscle. "


"Tried to take months earlier but stopped due to nausea and diarrhea. Gave it another try today....bad idea. Very sick within 1 hour of taking. Horrific headache followed by vomitting everything in my stomach."


"I have been taking it for 3 weeks and I have headaches, a constant cough, nausea, itching (mild) and weakness. I went off of it for two days and I felt better.  I am going to ask my doctor to prescribe an alternative as the cough and nausea are getting worse and I have a severe headache everyday at the same time.  My blood pressure has not changed."


"I got my implant in April of 2015. My April, May, and June periods were normal but July came, and It was normal, but brown in the beginning and end, then two weeks after my period, I had brown discharge for about a week then it stopped, then August period was a little early and brown in the beginning and end, but then again 2 weeks later I had brown discharge for about a week. I don't want to take it out, first of all I don't need to get pregnant and second of all I don't have the money to get it out."


Bifidobacterium infantis / lactobacillus acidophilus

"I have had a spastic colon for over fifty years and this product has been the only one that has provided relief on a sustained basis.  I tried everything else over the years, but if they worked as all, the relief only lasted for a week or so.  I still have a few days of constipation, but so much better than without the product."


"It seems to have a marginal effect."


"It is a miracle."


"I started using Seasonique as both a treatment for my PCOS as well as a birth control option. Before using Seasonique I lived with an almost constant period that would last for months at a time. It was a saving grace when I started using seasonique and it instantly "turned off the tap"! For two months I am period free then about mid way through the third month I start spotting until I start my new pack. This is a huge improvement to what I'm used to (used to be heavy flow and all the time) and it's given me a new found sense of freedom. I did NOT experience any hair loss and actually lost weight. It also helped immensely with my cystic acne. Altogether it's been a fantastic experience!"


"I am a 23 year old girl and I have suffered from anxiety for as long as I can remember. I had tried so many different medicines from Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac and Celexa... nothing worked. I would get a little better but once again, I would suffer a horrible bout of anxiety attacks. The first day I started Cymbalta I felt a rush of calmness over me. I immediately felt at ease and not as ansy and nervous as I always was. I could finally relax and do everyday normal things without worrying about when I would suffer another attack and would ruin my day. I have not had an attack in about 3 months now and feel so great! I do not feel zoned out like I did on the other medicines. I am happy and confident and overall have a better sense of well being."


"I have Bipolar I Disorder, and was prescribed Seroquel for insomnia and anxiety.  At only 25mg, it helps me sleep like a baby.  I get 8 hours of the most restful sleep I have ever had.

It also helps with the racing thoughts and screaming voices in my head.  I cannot thank God enough for bringing this medication into my life."


"I was hospitalized 3 years ago for Congestive Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation with an EF of 20%. After a 17-day hospital stay & an ablation, I was sent home with many meds, including Coreg. I started at the lowest dosage and slowly got to tolerate my current dosage of 12.5 mg 2x day. My current EF is 45% & I believe Coreg continues to save my life every day."


"Did not work for me - no sedation or drowsiness. No side effects experienced.  Dosage 1000mg, Male, Weight 190 lbs (86 kg)."


"My doctor prescribed me this for muscle spasms in my neck and through my right shoulder/arm.  And by the time I was able to take it - -the spasms had quit on their own.  I never threw out the meds and recently my spasms started back up again -which they do on occasion.   My spasms are severe - - literally preventing me from being functional for upwards of 3 days.  Robaxin actually works and releases a lot of the stress and pain from my spasms.  Only downside is it takes upwards of an hour and a half or longer for me to feel the effects. Zero noticeable side-effects besides some mild drowsiness, which is no biggy.  Helps me sleep at night through the pain. I'd recommend this medicine."


"I have had two lower back injuries in the past five years and both times was prescribed diclofenac. Sciatica usually lasts 10-14 days before complete relief."


"Was prescribed this for violent cough and bronchitis. Works for maybe an hour but I  cannot take this during the day because it makes me sooooo drowsy. I want to be able to take it more but I took one pill and almost slept for a straight 24 hours."


"I started taking AcipHex a while ago for GERD. It is working quite well. What interests me is that all of a sudden the plantar warts on my feet that I have struggled with for years are retreating rapidly, with no new sign of spreading. I have heard that Cimetidine (Tagamet) is sometimes prescribed for warts. "


"I thought it was pretty awesome stuff, but thanks to 6
(out of 4000) old, broken down, lifetime smokers it's no longer with us. When I found out Pfizer stopped making it, it was like a little piece of me died. Now I get to stab myself a few times a day to stay alive. Such fun. 6 out of 4000! Really? 0.15%? What a shame. % of Americans with lung cancer in 2008 was 7.3%."


"THIS THING IS OUT TO KILL YOU! As I placed this "medication" in my vagina, instantly the burning and itching begun. I could not sleep feeling the way I did. I started googling symptoms to see if I was going through this experience solely. Low and behold there's many more out there. My advise is sitting on the toilet and pushing the product out. This takes about 15-20 min. I definitely felt a relief after getting this product that was obviously made in hell out of me. Natural is always the best way. I should've known better. TAKE THIS PRODUCT OFF THE SHELVES!"


"Used for birth control and period issues- very unhappy

Worked good for preventing pregnancy, along with terrible side effects

Hard time sleeping( if any)

Nightmares

ANXIETY

Depression

The list goes on, everybody is different I recommend trying this pill to see if it's for you, it just wasn't for me. Switching back to my old birth control"


"I have 5 days left of my 12 week treatment. Feeling great and very grateful with no side effects. Strongly recommend this treatment."


"Have taken Ultram for 9 years for fibromyalgia.  The ONLY thing that helped and it helped very well.  No high, buzz, euphoria, etc., just sweet pain relief.  "


"Back in 2013 I got my Nexplanon inserted. For the first year and a half I had a period and now it's only a slight one every few months. I can easily say this is the easiest form of birth control (besides abstinence) because you literally don't have to do anything or worry about it. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially people (like me) who can't remember to take a pill at the same time every day or wheb to change your patch or whatever the case. Also this is my second one so I can say from experience that insertion and removal are both not bad as far as pain goes. Hopefully it works for you :)"


"I was started on 25mg phen 37.5 mg and naltraxone 50mg the itch was horrendous I wanted to rip my skin off I add to discontinue yesterday my doctor gave me 15mg sprinkle topiramate. This morning sick to my stomach and vomiting my face is red and still itching don't know if I have to stop this one as well... any advice anyone?"


"this is literally my 2nd day on protonix, and I am very happy. I will say I have experienced dizziness for about the first 2/3 minutes upon taking. I can deal with that; I am not experiencing acid reflux!!!! I have literally taken Prilosec for 6 years. I had the gastric sleeve which brings upon extreme heartburn"


"Great medicine for my panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder and fibromyalgia.  It is very calming for me and not too strong.  I can't tolerate many medicines, and this is the only one that does not "back fire" on me and give me worse problems than I started with.  It may be the oldest of it's type, but for me...it is the very best and for me, the safest with no side effects."


"This medication just about killed me! Numerous side effects, head foggy, vision blurry, loud audio, tongue and throat swollen, rapid heartbeat with tightening chest! Then tingling in the feet and I blacked out! Happened numerous times all in this cycle. Ambulance ride to the E.R. then ICU! Stay away from this!"


"Adderall in my opinion is a "Miracle"! I am prescribed the (IR) 30mg strength, three times a day. Adderall I feel has significantly improved my quality of life."


"I've suffered for many years with low thyroid and had my med./dosage changed many times but still felt no better.  About 7 weeks ago I began taking Westhroid Pure.  Within the first week I noticed a difference!  Now when I wash my hair, about half the amount of hair falls out and it seems like some new hair is beginning to grow!  I also have more energy and better mood.  I also started on pregnenolone during this time, so know that must also be part of the mood change.  I'm very glad to be off the synthetic medications. "


"I just started this two weeks ago. I was having bad mood swings and missing periods so I was put on the pill. I have had good expierences so far. Only complaint is that my boobs hurt a lot. Like all the time. I can't tell if they are growing or just hurting. Also I've had some pains in my uterus but I believe it's bc the pill is doing all that nonsense thickening the walls and all that jazz. Everything is good!!! I haven't gotten my first period on it yet, I should next week. I'm really hoping my PMS won't be as bad on the pill as it was before"


"I finally feel normal! My kids are so glad to have their mom back. After taking so many medicines for depression, I was finally diagnosed as bi-polar ll after I lost my job and was sent to the out patient day center. Best three weeks and my diagnosis led to Lamictal and finally Risperdal, the combination has changed my life. My moods and worry are normal and I don't think people are out to get me anymore. This medicine is great. So thankful, finally."


"Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: 36 YRS OLD, NEVER HAD CHILDREN MIRENA INSERTED 1 MONTH AGO, THE PAIN OF THE INSERTION WAS HORRIBLE, BUT MANAGEABLE AND I DID TAKE PAIN PILL BEFORE APPOINTMENT.  BEEN SPOTTING OFF AND ON, SEEMS MORE SPOTTING AFTER SEX.  READING THE REVIEWS HERE ARE HELPFUL AND I WILL REPORT MY THOUGHTS IN A FEW MONTHS.  I SAY DEFINITELY KEEP A LOG OF YOUR SPOTTING, ETC."


"I was prescribed 2 mg Klonopin 4 x daily since October 09. It has worked wonders for controlling my anxiety and as a bonus I've had no seizures since being on the medication. I take Tegretol for seizures which helped cut down the frequency but not stopped. Since I combined taking the Klonopin with Tegretol I've been seizure free for 8 months. The longest period since 2002 and also am completely anxiety free. Thanks."


"I've been on the 60mg twice a day for over 2 years now with Roxicodone 30mg every six hours for breakthrough pain, works better for me than Avinza, High dose Norco, and even the Fentanyl Patches 25mcg-75mcg. It has given my life back, I do recommend you talk to your doctor and get on this medicine, the old version that had OC and 60 was a lot better than the newer OP/60, but eventually your body gets used to it. Just be careful take it as directed. The only side effect is constipation, but otherwise a God-Send!"


"I have kidney disease, called IGA nephropathy disease. I am 14 years old, male, got diagnosed in July of 2008. I am finally in remission. I have not yet had a transplant."


"My 4 month old baby boy has used this for a week and within 2 days of use, I noticed a big improvement in his skin. It had become soft again not so dry and rough. The only problem is he screams every time we put it on him so its more like stinging for the first 10 - 15 min, rather then tingling as listed in side effects."


"I started Enbrel for AS 19 months ago. I had been diagnosed 46 years ago and had been taking Indocid SR and then when they stopped making the SR version switched to Voltaren. Even taking these potent drugs I was still with pain and problems as they only masked the symptoms. Within 6 hours of my first shot I was pain free and within 2 weeks was playing tennis again. I must say though that I do get sharp pains in my feet occasionally and I have put on about 20 lbs . all on the lower belly which my rheumatologist told me was a possible side affect. Another thing is my finger joints feel weaker and am having a bit of insomnia. But being pain free has helped my quality of life. I joined of a study group on it and share indo with others in it."


"I woke up one morning 6 months ago with severe lower back pain. Since I have stomach problems and am unable to take oral NSAIDs, narcotics or Ultram, I tried Lidoderm patches without success.  Then I read about Voltaren gel in Arthritis Today magazine and asked my doctor for it.  It has worked well and this is the only way I am able to sit without severe pain. "


"After awakening and emptying a completely full bladder on myself and the floor, I called my doctor for help.  Myrbetric was prescribed and has worked wonders.  Having insurance that wouldn't cover this, I'm unfortunately having to try a different route.  :("


"I’m on the fourth week of Vienva and have experienced nausea, headaches, mood swings, spotting and bloating! Hopefully these symptoms pass after three months like they say! I hate birth control to begin with because of all the symptoms and I always experience all of them but what are we supposed to do? "


"My first shot of Depo-Provera was almost three months ago and I am due for my second shot in less than two weeks. I will not get that second shot and must say Depo-Provera worked very bad for me. I've been bleeding straight for two months now, awful mood swings and depression, extensive hair loss and no sex drive at all. "


"This is the second time I have started Humira (three weeks ago).  It gave me great relief the first time around but I was forced to quit due to a change in insurance.  In the four months I was off Humira my inflammation and pain accelerated.  I worked with my Doctor, COBRA provider and Humira customer service to be reinstated.  I have been on it now for a month one injection every two weeks.  I find the auto injector easy to use and safer than a syringe.  I have found that sinus infections can be reduced by the use of mupirocin ointment in my nostril once a day and by using the NeilMed sinus rinse every night."


"I have suffered from terrible migraines for the past 7 years and saw no relief in sight. Once I tried this needless injection it has changed my life for the better. I was nervous to give myself the injection but I had my sister help me for moral support. The injection did sting and bleed just a little but any migraine sufferer would not mind a little sting over the pain of a migraine. I did get lightheaded/dizzy for a few minutes however my migraine was gone within 5 minutes. Awesome medicine it gave me my life back, I highly recommend it!"


"I'm a 39 yr. old female living with Sacrolilitis & Crohn's Disease for 17 yrs. Was prescribed Soma 350mg - 4 per day for hip pain and lower back spasms. Due to being on a high dose of Prednisone (30mg daily) for over 2 years, I developed Osteoporosis (bone loss is significant in my left hip), which in turn made my Sacroilitis & lower back spasms much worse. I take 1-2 OTC Tylenol Arthritis with 1 Soma, 4 times per day. The only complaint I have about Soma are the migraines. If you don't take a pain reliever with Soma, its very likely to give you a busting headache. Make sure you take Soma as prescribed. Not only is it addicting, it won't work like its suppose to if you don't take it as prescribed."


"I have been on Zoloft for 11 years. I have severe panic disorder and anxiety. I brought my Zoloft from 150 to 25mg during my pregnancy, all seemed well until after I gave birth and all my happy hormones wore off. Major postpartum depression and anxiety kicked in. I immediately went up to 150mg of Zoloft but that was not doing the trick. My doctor kept telling me to take buspar but since I tried to many medications before finding Zoloft fitting, I was scared to add something else. After a year of this roller coaster, I gave in, I tried 5mg of buspar at night, I woke up the next day and actually left my house. It is like day and night. I started at 5mg only at night then went to 5mg day and night. Don't worry to try it if you are scared!"


"I've only been on for a month and a half, but my body has DRASTICALLY changed. The abdominal pain is unbearable, I've missed work multiple times because I'm unable to leave the bathroom. The bloating has been out of control, and besides my normal acid reflux disease, the extra heartburn has me constantly sick - no matter what I eat. The first 1.5 weeks of the pill pack are the worst, I cant eat or sleep, and the migraines are awful. Moody, lack of desire to do anything, which is NOT like me. The only benefit is a bit of a weaker period, but the side-effects are unbearable."


"Thank God for Singulair.  I got my life back.  My asthma was so bad I was afraid to go anywhere without my nebulizer.  Now my asthma is almost non-existent. I have no side effects and feel great.  I just wish I would have had this medicine many years earlier, it would have saved many trips to the emergency room and much suffering and panic.  "


"The first month I was on it, it went great. No side effects, 1-2 pounds weight gain (I watched my diet to the T so I knew the extra weight was from the pill) But it did not bother me too much. The second month was hell! I gained an extra 10 pounds within week one and mid of week three, I call my gyno and had to have my pill changed because I could not accept the 10 pound weight gain. She has switched me to Microgestin Fe 1/20 (generic of Loestrin 24), so we will see how that works out. I am not starting this new pill until I lose the weight I have gained from Tri-Sprintec. Before being on Tri-Sprintec I was on Yaz and that had not worked well for me either, major bloating!"


"They are really helping my back pain."


"I was prescribed 500 mg twice a day Augmentin for a sinus infection. After the second dose I developed BAD stomach cramps, nausea and loose stools.  I continued the Augmentin for three more days but finally had to stop taking it due to the fact that it was completely destroying my stomach. It was working wonders on my sinus infection but the side effects were too much to bear. Worst of all, I'm still having cramps and loose stools even though I stopped taking the Augmentin two days ago. I hope the issues resolve themselves soon and won't require a trip to my gastroenerologist.  Augmentin may be fine for some people but it's definitely NOT for me!"
