"I wanted to find a product that people actually found it working so I head over to a comparison and searched a little bit and came up with Epiduo at a time where I had a lot of acne on my skin. It helped me clear my skin slowly and slowly and has made my life a lot easier"


"I got this implant in May of 2015, it's now March of 2016. The insertion procedure was very easy and relatively painles . The issues came a week later when I started bleeding. I knew that it would take some getting used to but I never anticipated to bleed 10 months like I did. I went to my doctor almost in tears wanting it to be removed ASAP. Because the adolescent unit was out I'd have to wait until the following week. I was about to give up until they suggested birth control pills to use until then. Only two days and pills AND MY BLEEDING HAS STOPPED. I'm cancelling the removal. Other than the bleeding, its very effective. I've had so much sex while on it and I'm always covered. I have some migraines and gained a few pounds. So worth it."


"Dampens down allergy symptoms fast when nothing else available outside of a doctor's office or hospital will. Yes, it puts me right to sleep, so it's not my first choice for everyday seasonal allergy control, but this is the one to keep in the first aid kit for unexpected allergen encounters."


"I was really excited to try an IUD but I am very disappointed with how it worked out. The insertion is not as bad as people say it is. It is definitely not comfortable but take some Pamprin and you will be okay. The bad cramps after the insertion last for about a week. The only thing this birth control really helped me with was to not get pregnant. I was hoping it would help with my periods. They are very light but last for 11 days! that is outrageous! My cramps are worse and I break out more. I would not recommend this birth control there are better options."


"My psychiatrist raised my dose to 3mg after 1.5 dose dose was ineffective. After 4 days, I have woke up delusional that goes away in 5 minutes. I don't know if it was the medicine or the mixture of it and the other medicines I take."


"I was put on Sprintec in order to control my acne. It wasn't too bad until about the third week of my first pack. I began bleeding, and it wasn't spotting, more like a full on period. This lasted for 2 weeks. My periods have become much heavier, & my cramps are worse than before. As for my acne, it has gotten considerably worse. I am on my third pack, & I am completely unhappy with this pill."


"Clonidine may help with blood pressure, but the drug has severe side effects for me. These include terrible dizziness, joint and hip pain that makes it difficult to walk without pain. Thirty hours off the medicine and the pain is gone and the dizziness is much better. Perhaps I am allergic to the medication."


"about to start my third month on sprintec. i have lost about 12 pounds since starting the pill. im not sure if its because of the pills but my diet has not changed, i still eat alot and i dont workout. i have fibroids and the reason i started was to help with bleeding in which it really hasnt helped much with but my cramps are not as bad, im not as moody as before, and it has helped with bloating.  i guess its different for everyone so i would recommend trying it."


"at 47 years old I had a heart attack and had to quit smoking. Dr prescribed Chantix. I had never heard of it before then.  After 12 days and after carefully following instructions, I had quit smoking. Not only had I quit a 2 pack a day habit, it was as though I had never smoked in my life. No after dinner cravings, no stuck in traffic lighting up, nothing.  Side affects were minimal for me.  Some odd dreams, but no nightmares.  Went to a baseball game with the Flintstones. That sort of thing.  It's toally worth a shot. May not work for everybody, but everybody who smokes and wants to quit should give Chantix a shot.  If it doesn't work for you, then do what my wife, who felt she should quit so she don't smoke near me, did.  Cold turkey!"


"I have chronic atrial fibrillation, had 5 cardioversions over 2 years. Return to normal rhythm lasted from 4 to 6 months. Doctor prescribed Multaq; subsequent cardioversion (#6) retained normal rhythm only 4 months. Had #7 cardioversion March 2, still on Multaq. If normal rhythm doesn't last at least 6 months I'll quit Multaq."


"I started taking the Medicine exactly one week from today. Weighed myself this morning and I've lost 12 pounds. Insomnia definitely a side effect. Curbed appetite."


"I take labetalol 200mg 3 x per day for the past 6 years. Yes, my blood pressure is down, but I am so tired some days I just lay around all day. I also take diltiazem 180mg and Cozaar 100mg. I am trying to get off the labetalol and go on Bystolic. This medicine (labetalol) saved my life in the emergency room with dangerously high blood pressure. But now I am so sick of it and have gained 20 lbs and cannot exercise. I really want to try the Bystolic."


"I've been on this pill for nearly two years. It's incredible. No acne, no weight gain, regular periods, no migraines (related to it), no decrease in sex drive."


"I appreciate everyone else's reviews of this medication, it validates me-where I thought I was alone.

The pharmacy advised prior standard birth control was no longer available and it was "the same" and thus I was provided Blisovi.

After 3 months, I've gone up 2 pants sizes and look pregnant with a distended belly! I have had abdominal cramping and terrible PMS. My flow used to last 2-3 days, it's up to 5 days on this terrible pill.

I would not recommend anyone even trial with this medication.
I gave it two stars since it does prevent pregnancy -- oh, my sex drive is lower, so that can impact pregnancy too."


"PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE!!! I started on Minastrin 24fe in February of 2016 because my fiance and I were going to be getting married in April 2016. We both were virgins and I had never been on a contraceptive before but we both wanted to wait a while to have kids in our marriage. Well at first things didn't seem too bad. However I started noticing acne breakout and I was surprised at how I waa easy to cry...however I thought it was due to wedding planning and not birth control. However, after a month and a half into our marriage...about month ago, I started developing extreme mood swings, depression, weird thoughts I couldn't seem to cope with, suicidal thoughts, emotional about everything, losing feeling for my husband (who believe me I adore and love so very much), 15 to 17 pound weight gain, panic attacks, depression, anxiety, fatigue, swollennes in my legs and feet, and even one of my big toes started to go numb. I even started thinking the worse things about my husband and losing loss of of feeling for him. I was scared to death! I was usually full of life and happy and carefree and a very energetic and outgoing young woman who loved her husband and her life! I was always active and tried to be health conscious. My husband has been extremely gracious and patient through all of this and believe me you do not want to start your marriage out like this!!! So he and I decided to stop the pill about 2 weeks ago (mid if June 2016). My acne has cleared, my swolleness has gone down and physically I am feeling better each day. My emotional swings are slowly lessening and I haven't had any panic attacks lately. I am still struggling but each day I feel mire myself and getting back to the real me. SO PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE FOR YOUR SAKE AND THE SAKE OF THOSE YOU LOVE AROUND YOU!!! Stay away from this pill! These hormones are synthetic and fake and they aren't natural for our bodies. It may work gor some people but it is not worth the risk of going through what I have to see if it will work for you as well."


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


"I took Alesse for 1 month and 1 week. After the first week I broke out with the worst cystic acne I have ever had in my life. I tried to stick it out to the three month mark to see if it would clear up, but it was so horrible I decided to stop 1 week into my second pack. I'm giving it 5 stars because I didn't experience any other side effects whatsoever, which I have gotten on other pills."


"I got on the depo not only for prevention of pregnancy but also everyone I know stopped getting their periods. How awesome is that! I was very skeptical about it because everyone I knew either gained an excessive amount of weight or just were not able to loose at all. My experience was great for my first shot, I got my period once throughout the 3 months and I was still able to loose weight without any issues. My problem started when I got my second shot. About 2 weeks after receiving the shot I got my period which was fine but that was April 9th and it is now June 4th and I still have. It's not a heavy flow at all mostly just spotting and clotting. Will not be receiving 3rd shot. I want sex!! If the bleeding wasn't so much I'd continue."


"I take Lyrica primarily for non-diabetic polyneuropathy.  The bottoms of my feet felt like they were on fire before.  I could not walk.  Now, though painful, I take long daily walks.  I can only tolerate the lowest dose three times daily, maybe four times if the doctor allowed it.  An increased dose made me too drowsy.  I find it helpful for fibromyalgia too, but I could only choose one category.  I still have too much pain."


"I took the 3month Depo shot in May this year, I have been bleeding non stop for the last 5 months.

I have been to the doctor twice and been given tranexamic acid and taken the entire two boxes to no avail, this week the bleeding has gotten so heavy that Im soaking out tampons in less than 3 hours. Im taking iron tablets and folic acid so that my body doesnt crash. as for sex...thats out of the question, so I dont see a point of this form of birthcontrol.

i hate depo i hate how I had a normal and very regular cycle, now Im a mess of mood swings, craving junk food, gaining weight and I hope this strain doesnt compromise my relationship with my partner. Never use this drug, it will mess you up."


"I found out I had trich about two weeks ago, completely took me by surprise because I had no symptoms that I wasn't used to. I took 4 500mg at once & these symptoms cleared up and my vagina was a brand new person. Sadly, had unprotected sex again & now the symptoms are back full throttle, I can barely stand to urinate. Thankfully I just took another prescription of the same dose... I hope it works because I'm miserable!!!!"


"I've been experiencing migraines ever since I was around 14 or 15. When I went on birth control they started getting a little better except for when I was either really stressed or on my period, both times when they are really bad. I talked to my doctor about it and she put me on imatrex (which I tried for the first time when I was 15 when my sister took it) and it works wonders! It alleviates the headache in about 30-45 minutes. The thing I've noticed that is it's best when you first start to feel a migraine coming on, not when you're migraine is already unbearable. I've also experienced some minor side affects like drowsiness and some minor stomach pains (usually only if i take it on an empty stomach) but other than that I've had no issue"


"I am 41 years old and never took a drug in my life. I am a normal father of two teenagers with a very good job...basically what I thought was very normal life. I started getting what I now know are panic attacks on a more frequent basis. I had a serious issue one day driving over a bridge to the point where I couldn't drive over tall bridges...ridiculous right. Well I finally went to the doctor and have been taking Paxil for 1 year without any side effects. I have not had a panic attack since beginning on the medication and my moods are much more consistent. I still have a bit of fear with the bridges but rather than increase the dose I can deal with it. I would recommend this to anyone because I could not address this situation prior."


"This was awful for me. Severe palpitations and obsessive thoughts became worse leading to insomnia with severe feelings of agitation. Was on 20mg and tapering off, now on 10mg but still experiencing awful side effects."


"I was diagnosed with PMDD and prescribed cyclical Sertraline.  I can remember the day I started my period thinking how did that happen without all the stress anger and drama.  I aliken it to having gas and air during labour.  It just takes the top off the emotion and prevents the explosive outbursts of uncontrollable anger.  I honestly thought i just had normal pmt until I saw my doctor, who upon asking me a list of questions, said the only one id replied no to was suicidal thoughts but it probably wouldnt be too long before I got there.  Apart from a nasty headache on day 2/3 this drug has literally saved my family life."


"I started taking this medicine 4 days ago and so far it hasn't done anything for me at all, but then I don't have chronic constipation or IBS, so I'm really not sure why my doctor prescribed it.  I have sudden, severe, acute constipation.  The good thing is that even though it hasn't worked, it hasn't caused any side effects."


"I am 23. I was on a pill from when I was 16-22. I switched to a Mirena IUD for 6 months (gave me horrible yeast infections and I literally had my period for 6 months). I have been taking Gildess Fe 1.5/30 for a year. Nothing to complain about, no attributable weight gain or mood changes. BUT, in all the years I have been on birth control I would get my period 48 hours after taking the last active pill, like clockwork. However, this month, it's been 5 days and no period. Assuming I'm not pregnant (very low chance, we use condoms as well) then this pill is great, but not having a period is making me stressed!"


"This medication worked fantastically for me! When I started taking it I was at the bottom of my class, struggling at school, and within 2 years I'd moved to the top. It totally transformed how I was able to concentrate.

I always felt like this allowed me to 'be the real me' because it gave me the focus and patience to do the things I wanted to do. It helped me socially because I was able think and communicate better (more tactfully!)

In terms of side effects I can't take it too late in the day or else I wouldn't sleep at night, but nothing else. I know some people have described many more side effects but I didn't get anything like that.

The only downside is that after 19 years on the drug, I don't find it as effective anymore."


"Thank goodness for pharmaceutical patient assistance, or I could not afford this life saving medication."


"Except for a few small patches on my scalp all other areas ...legs, knees,chest, stomach, back, and inside my ears have completely cleared within 3 weeks. No side effects...so far. Very happy."


"I have had depression for years with obsessive compulsive disorder. I have been been on everything from Xanax, Effexor, Depakote, Prozac, Zoloft, etc. I started Viibryd 4 days ago along with ADHD medicines and anxiety meds and I have to say my brain is not running 90 to nothing I am not depressed and feel good. Yes my GI system has been upset and last two nights I have not slept well and I have had a mild headache but because everything is manageable and I mental feel better I am willing to tough it out and hopefully it will stop. Doctor gave me a free starter kit starting with 10mgs for 7 days then 20mgs for 7 days and 40mgs for 7 days so hopefully it will keep going this good or better."


"I've been on this medicine for a few months.  Before my biggest problem was waking up at night to pee but not having enough time to get to the bathroom before it started running down my leg.  The Sanctura alleviated this problem, and I haven't experienced any negative side effects but it feels like it's harder to empty my bladder.  It seems like my bladder is never really completely empty, but the Sanctura does help to eliminate "accidents."  "


"I wanted to give birth control a try so my doctor put me on Tri Sprintec. It started out okay and I was fine with the outcome despite the nausea. However, I then began getting this white milky discharge a week before my period and when I had sex it smelled fishy. I went to the doctor and it was diagnosed as Bacterial Vaginosis..I have tried many treatments to ward it off nothing worked. I'm getting off Birth Control and getting my life back!"


"I have been sick ever since I have taken this medication 20mg.
Memory loss, jitters, anxiety, panic attacks, cold chills....this has been a complete nightmare.   After reading the reviews above maybe I can get some help - Every doctor I have been to kept saying maybe it's depression...what are you depressed about?  I am not DEPRESSED for crying out loud.   This is another failed medication that's causing folks to become sick.   I have been carted off the road twice from this medication because of anxiety from this pills.   My life has been a living HELL."


"I've had mine over a year now , I was skeptical about it and scared of the side effects but let me tell you this stuff IS SUPER EFFECTIVE !!!  I did have a few side effects that I did not enjoy at first but after a few months my body got used  to it and now I barely get my period and if I do I just spot for like a week . But honestly I been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend ever since I got on the nexplanon and nothing :) I'm very happy with it I don't have to worry about anything. I honestly can say it has done its job"


"This medicine has changed the quality of my life, and those who are in my life. It has been greatly enhanced by my usage of this medicine. I wish everyone who suffered mentally could use this medicine as a magic pill, but I know that's not possible. I was on so many different medicines before my doctor put me on this - misdiagnosis on his part - and I'm so glad that this medicine exists for us bi-polar folks."


"My daughter  was a high school XC & Track athlete.  She was a class champion in both XC & Track & was recruited to run on college.  My daughter was prescribed this pill in February 2017 for acne & to help control her period.  At. First it was ok.  The acne cleared up & her period was less severe.   She had an amazing Indoor track season qualifying for National competition.  Then In April she began to experience muscle fatigue & weight gain.  Also mood swings.  Her race times dropped drastically!  We went to the DR ran blood test etc.  Everything came back fine.  I started to look at the side effects of this pill and began to look into the effect of the pill on female athletes.  Not good!
 Athletes do not take Tri-Sprintec!!!!!!!"


"I had the depo shot in September of last year and have been bleeding ever since I went a month from approximately form the end of January until the beginning of March with no bleeding or spotting and now I have been bleeding again for 18 days it started out light and then slowly has become very heavy. Before depo I have had bad experiences with birth control so I was very hesitant to take it and this has just turned into a night mare, to be bleeding 6 out of 7 months has taken a tole on my relationship and a tole on my self-esteem. Best advice encourage your partner to wear a condom instead of facing these horrible horrible side affects."


"This is my second colonoscopy.  The first one 3 years ago my doctor had me do an over the counter Miralax-Dulcolax bowel prep the day before the procedure.  It was a several hour ordeal and not very fun between the extended time on the toilet, the amount of water I had to drink and the ahem chafing down there from wiping.  This time around my doctor prescribed Suprep.  This has been a much easier experience.  First of all, I'm pretty much cleaned out after a couple of hours, unlike the several hours from my first go around.  That by itself is worth it since I've had to endure fewer wipes and hence less chafing. The taste isn't so bad.  I drink Pedialyte from post drinking hangovers and I would say that Suprep tastes exactly like Pedialyte."


"I'm on my 3rd year with nexplanon and I plan on not getting another one. The first year was the worst with light spotting almost every day of the year. The second year was a little better, some days I didn't spot at all and completely forgot about the implant. This year the spotting has come back and is more than normal I've been bleeding for 3 weeks straight wondering when it'll stop. I've also gained about 20 pounds since I've had it put in and I can't seem to lose it and I've had a huge loss of sex drive, I'm single and with all the bleeding and extra weight I don't even want to have sex with anyone so I find it pointless now. Having it removed in October when the 3 years is up. Otherwise I'll have to pay for it."


"So I've had this since the end of January 2015 its now almost September. I've literally had 2 periods however the spotting hasn't stopped yet. I'm not pregnant but thats because I can't have sex. The doctor keeps telling me its normal but me and my man are so frustrated sexually and emotionally. Thinking if having it removed. My doctor assured me that it would stop my period and spotting but its been nothing but hell...."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"One of the few vitamins that made me nauseous. Highly recommend."


"Took Free Trial. Unfortunately, I guess I'm one of the rare one's it's not working for. I'm still hungry & craving fried bologna, chocolate, taco's, etc. : (  I'm really not that overweight but, still could lose about 20-lbs. I tried it & I got a slight headache at first & I have to admit I didn't feel like drinking a beer after work which I usually do. It also pepped up my mood, I felt like dying laughing over the craziest things that I thought was funny. As for the decrease in appetite maybe slightly but, I always eat small portions anyways, the bad thing is is that I do it all day long. It seems like it didn't make me eat as much all day though. More power to you guys that it worked for & I'm happy for you! I'm going to try Phentermine."


"I have been taking this birth control for a year and i loved it! it has done an amazing job with preventing pregnancy and working with other medicines i take for migraines. The only problem i have had with this pill was that i have gained 25 pounds since i started it last November and i had really bad cramping the week before i started my period. I play soccer and work out a lot and i eat healthy and the weight gain has got me really down so im probably going to talk to my doctor about changing pills."


"The only medication that works for me."


"I wish I would have received as fast a healing as others had with Rocephin, but it still worked! I had a very severe case of pneumonia and was hospitalized for three   weeks. I was given Rocephin by IV while in the hospital and four weeks at home. Although my illness was stubborn the Rocephin did it's job and now my lung is clear of infection. I am thankful for the doctor that prescribed the medicine and those that make it."


"I've been on sprintec for about 2 weeks and haven't had any spotting, my only complaint is migraines that I got 2 nights straight. But other than that I've had no bad side effects. I also feel like I've had less discharge than when I wasnt on it."


"Very good"


"Within a few days of starting this birth control I became numb, negative thoughts, anxious, extremely irritable and angry, which is all very unlike me. I couldn't think straight. I love my boyfriend and we have our issues but I was ready to freak out on him every second for no good reason, the poor guy could tell I was not the same person. I did NOT feel like myself and it was obvious to him not just me. On top of all that I was always hungry and craving terrible foods, no self control like I had before starting. The one positive thing was it helped control my break outs, but my mental health is more important to me than perfect skin."


"Wonderful - taking it for 2  weeks now, the 2nd day I could tell a significant difference. THANK YOU."


"Yabba Dabba Doo!! This for me is god sent!! I'm 52, I'm diabetic and I have high blood pressure, on medication for both. I take 2 20mg as prescribed by my doctor as needed and within 30 mins, I'm ready for action! I found that the effect is not as great when I consume alcohol. I haven't noticed any side effects. Because of sildenafil, my sex life is active and fun again and my confidence is on point! Yeeeessssss!!!!"


"This stuff is a God send. I take it about 30 to 60 minutes before eating anything and it not only gives me a few pain free hours, but it also gives me a general relaxed feeling. *sidenote* that relaxed feeling is great when your stomach is  really painful. BUT it does make you kind of on a high. Not like a drug high but more a chill relaxed high if that makes any sense. So BE CAREFUL if you need to drive or anything like that. Makes me high and tired but worth it for no stomach aches! Damn IBS!"


"I used Rhofade for a few days and it immediately became apparent that my skin became much worse, redder and burning. I would not recommend this product at all. After discontinuing use and returning to regular hygiene routines my skin returned to normal, albeit with mild rosacea."


"I got Kyleena inserted in January of 2017 I was told to take 600mg of ibuprofen before and wasn't asked to be on my period for insertion. The procedure was a piece of cake and was no more than 10 minutes. the pain was only slight cramping for few seconds while inserting. The  first few days I had cramps which is typical, but they were bearable. I had light spotting for about a month after which was annoying, but that has now stopped. So far I've only had 1 period and it was super light and lasted two days which is not typical for me. I usually have a heavy perioid (super tampon) for a week. So far I'm loving this basically nonexistent period, no acne, improved sex life and overall I feel happier compared to the pill I was previously taking."


"My daughter has been on Lupron for 2 1/2 years now, she started at age 4.  We have had success in stopping the symptoms of puberty.  The side effects that we have encountered which have now stopped are the hot flashes and eating cravings and binges.  We do have to continue with the injection every three weeks, but up to this point it has been well worth it."


"I have had hypothyroidism since 1999 and battled weight my whole life. I recently put on 20 pounds over this last winter as I suffer from winter depression and do not get any activity in my life. My docotr has never prescribed Contrave before and decided to have me try it. I started it 6 days ago at 217.6 pounds - today I am at 215.0 - to date I have not noticed any side effects but I also have not noticed any decrease in my appetite. I am hoping the appetite decreases as my dosage increases. My insurance covers this and I am only paying $40. There is also a discount card on the Contrave website if you do not have insurance."


"I've been taking it  for depression/anxiety for about seven years now. The 1st time I took it I got a horrible restless feeling an hour after taking it..it was really horrible, pretty unbearable but after the second day I was fine. It is an excellent sleep aid, it knocks you out into a deep sleep with really vivid and usually pleasant dreams..getting out of bed afterwards is the only hard part! It leaves you pretty groggy and sedated for the start of the day. Everybody else is rushing around work getting stuff done and my brain is operating on half speed. For that reason I'm thinking of tapering off it. I also have a sense of apathy..everything is 'ok'..even when it's not..take it to get yourself better but get off it when you can"


"I have been on pretty much every birth control pill out there, all with side effects that were serious enough for me to have to go off of them. I started taking Yasmin and for the first time I had no break through bleeding, no side effects. I was on it for about two years when I decided to go off of it to have a baby. I used a back up method for about 6 months and then tried to get pregnant. One night, one try and I was pregnant. So I think it works well at preventing pregnancy! When the time came to go back on the pill I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get it because of all the stuff I've been hearing. My doctor said that there are increased risks but that the risks are minimal, especially given that I'm under 35 and don't smoke."


"I absolutely love the fact that I do not have to worry about taking a birth control pill. I have had Implanon since February of 2009 and so far the only problem I have is unpredictable periods. At first, I did not have one, but as time went on I began to have one more often. My periods became normal (every 28 days), and then they began to get closer together...every other week, now it seems as if it has been on for months and will not go off. Considering the fact that I am a newlywed I am considering having it removed."


"I took the plan b pill after the condom broke and my boyfriend finished inside me. I'm on the pill but that was the first time I had someone finish inside me so I was really freaked out. I took the pill about 14 hours after it happened. I felt fine for the first week but around the time I should have been ovulating, I began to get extremely nauseous and had really bad abdominal pain; it was a sharp pain in my right and left ovaries. The pain and neasua continued for a few weeks and it really freaked me out because I convinced myself I was pregnant. Finally the day I was suppose to get my period I got it, but it was extremely light which is very unusual for me but by the next day it was a normal flow. Dont worry and give it time!"


"I have been on the pill for 3 months now. It did reduce my periods to almost nothing. I have always been really skinny and wore a size 1. After the first month and a half I had gained almost 20 pounds. My clothes don't fit anymore and I'm very uncomfortable with my body. My acne has become bad. I get deep like cysts on my face that don't go away. I went to the dermatologist a month ago and have been prescribed a ton of medications for my acne but nothing is working. I never had acne before this pill. I just stopped taking the pill yesterday. "


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"So i apprehensively opened the 1st pkt of M prep at 7pm the night b4 my procedure, .. After reading the reviews on here .. I was anticipating the gip factor of the drink , and true to the reviews it was top scale rank ..
Seriously took all my swallowing efforts to the hilt .. I mixed in some lucozade to alter the taste .. But still ended up with a fizzy, thick , salty , slimy mess that made my head hurt and my stomach retch on every mouthfull .. My eyes watered and my sphincter tightened lol
Not from the anticipation of what was to follow .. But the bodily reaction to the chewy thick substance that was globbing down my aesophagus .
Ffwd 2/3 hrs - i was on form -with the toilet hugging my behind I'm sleep inthe bathroom
All done for morning"


"I was put on this medication over 11 years ago. I had to be boosted up to 1200mg daily to get the blood serum level in the right area. It had to be combined with Keppra to finally help me obtain control of my epilepsy. It has been very effective the past 11 years, and I have had no side effects with it."


"Down 14 lbs in 4 weeks. No appetite, waves of nausea from time to time.  I vomited the first week with it, and I have had two episodes of diarrhea. I am on 1.8 now for almost a week and am feeling better.  This is exactly what I needed to get my eating under control. Love the fact that I'm not hungry and that food does not look or sound appealing to me at all. So now I make myself eat and when I do I'm choosing healthy foods."


"I am 17 years old, I don't have acne I just have the teenage pimples. But theses pimples control my life and make me depressed. I have taken one tablet and my face is clear, one pimple on my face. So happy."


"I have had Implanon since October 2010, a month after my son was born. I gave it a try because one of my friends had it and it worked great for her. I love it. I don't have to worry about anything and I haven't had a period since I've been on it. But I do have to say this about it about 2 weeks or so ago (I've had it for a little over a year now). I've been getting some of the not so good side effects (mood swings, depression, headache, some weight gain). I do love Implanon and I'm sad that I have to get it out but I have to do what feels right to me. I would recommend this though."


"Although not a cure it sure is a fabulous tool in my battle against type 2 diabetes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE BATTLING THIS DISEASE. Combined with exercise and portion control this is a miracle drug in my humble non medical opinion."


"I've been on this for almost 5 years and I love it, in the last two years I've actually lost weight, my skin which used to be horrible with acne is nice and clear. The first few months were kind of rough, as it is when starting any birth control. The only downfall would be how sensitive my breasts can get when it's cold. Almost painful at times, but it's definitely eased over the years."


"Developed anxiety and panic again after not having it for 30 years.  Could  have been triggered by an attack of vertigo.  Dr. put me on Buspar 10mg twice a day.  I was also on Prozac 20 mg once a day and Clonopin 0.5mg once at night for years and felt just fine.  The Buspar made me spacey and did not help the anxiety.  They reduced it to 5mg twice a day.  Still a little spacey and did not help anxiety.  Upped my Clonopin to an extra 0.5mg in morning and 0.25mg in afternoon.  Buspar is not helping.  Going to ask my doctor to change to something else.  Been on it almost a couple of months.  Any help anyone can give me?  Thanks so much.  I am also afraid to be alone at home since hubby works 2nd shift but is going to 1st shift next week which will help."


"This has been a wonderful medication for me!  I was having BV monthly and it was impacted my sex life. My doctor recommended that I use it after Intercourse and I haven't had any problems since then.  Highly recommended!"


"I have suffered from incontinence and over active bladder for many years and put up with it. I was prescribed a 5mg dose from the hospital doctor and although it didn't help with incontinence, it did help with a better urination flow and less frequent visits to the toilet, they upped the dose to 10 by the physiotherapist I was seeing about an overactive bladder and incontinence. I have had bad side effects of, pebble constipation, feeling very unwell with stuffed up nose, sore throat, very tired, stomach upset including acid, chest pain and have now had the meds stopped by my GP as it could be causing my blood pressure to drop. I was really happy in the beginning with the benefits of the vesicare medication but the bad outweighs the good."


"I started taking Wellbutrin XL August of 2016. After starting this drug, I had the motivation and desire to go out and change my life! As a man, this drug drastically increased my sex drive! Which was a huge relief! That first day and all that night all I could dream about was sex - Everything was much "bigger" too. I think because Wellbutrin increased my blood flow and heart rate. This went on for about two weeks until everything levelled out. However, my sex drive still remained more elevated. The only negative side effects I had were extreme migraines those same two weeks. I think I also lost a lot of weight but I'm not sure how much. I was the skinniest I had ever been at that time."


"I gave this medication a 9 despite some uncomfortable side effects because after 6 months of treatment my spine BMD has increased from 3.4 T score to 3.0 T (+ 8 %) but my hip has gotten 5% worse.  I experienced a lot of nausea (especially about 2 hours after shot) but I also experienced about 15 pounds of weight gain.  Shooting pains in my legs and arms occasionally and small bruising around injection spot sometimes.  I am stopping medication for other reasons but I am happy about the 8% gain in my spine after 2 previous painful spinal fractures."


"The only drawback to this and all HIV drugs is the expense to people without insurance."


"Great antibiotic. Went to doctor multiple times for ear infection. Penicillin did not cut it."


"I've been taking this for eight months, It has it pros and cons just like every other medicine! the pro is it clears your skin up beautifully, I get compliments all the time about how clear my skin is.  It amazing when it comes to getting your period I used to have severe cramps I could never go to work, now when I get it I don't even realize i have it. But the cons is I feel super nauseous right after I take it for a couple hours to the verge where I wanna puke and the last eight months it's made me gain  10 pounds."


"I hate this.

I got the implant in the beginning of December.  I've been on my period since new years eve, it not enough for a tampon, and too heavy for a liner. I'm basically wearing nasty pads because I have no other options. And these migranes are out of the wall.

I'm getting it removed as soon as possible"


"I took Belviq twice a day for a week.  I am 60+ pounds over weight and have fibromyalgia.  By the 3rd day I was in so much pain I could barely walk.  I could not get out of bed because I was so fatigued.  I am a morning person using getting up @ 5a.  I didn't step on the scales until the 7th day.  Guess what, I gained 2.5 pounds!!!!  I started feeling like I was seeing things such as someone standing beside me and had trouble concentrating at work.

My insurance paid on this medication so my co-pay was only $45.  Thank goodness!  I don't take many drugs even though they are prescribed.  But with fibromyalgia, I do feel that this medication exacerbated the symptoms x10.  I have been off them for 3 days now and beginning to feel some better"


"Premarin is great for reduction of  discomforts caused by  surgical menopause, hair, skin, sense of well being, sleep, moods and energy levels."


"How come the makers of this drug don't mention the weight gain associated with taking it?

It works well for about a week and then the bloating and weight gain sets in. More than very disappointing and shame on them!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Drank down this stuff as quick as I could, rinsing my mouth out in between? This stuff is too salty and too sweet, two things I do not like as I have high blood pressure and am diabetic. Within 40 minutes of getting the last bit down, I was on the toilet with my garbage can with liquid coming out of both ends. There was no way I'd ever get that second bottle down at 2 am and at 6:30am I was still having fiery liquid violently expelling from the rear. Because there were still brown sediment (not sure how that was even possible) my doctor had to cancel procedure. Never ever again. This is my second colonoscopy within 5 years and the first time my dr (different one as we moved) had me do Miralax which is flavorless. No issues with that way."


"I was switched from vagifem to yuvafem when this generic came out.  The tablet does not dissolve inside and I have experienced problems, including dryness and discomfort and recently, a urinary tract infection that I think may be related to the yuvafem. I am going back to vagifem.  The yuvafem is NOT the same and should be taken off the market!"


"I take 4 doses of 300mg Gabapentin every day, and it completely interrupts my regular daily pain cycle.  It is also an excellent analgesic enhancer when taken with other pain meds.  No side effects that other than mild sedation, and nothing like brain-numbing Lyrica."


"Have had days where I feel my heart is beating out of my chest and I can hear it in my ears. Also have had "ringing" in my ears as well."


"Started this pill and took it at night right before bed, woke up every morning with terrible morning sickness, dizziness, and awful headaches."


"Hi. I am 49 years old. Two years ago I was promoted to a senior management position. The extra stress at work was all to much and this has contributed to my ability to maintain an adequate erection for sex. I spoke to my Doctor and he suggested "Viagra 50 mg" for my problem. It takes around 40 minutes to work and is worth the wait and the money! I find the effects of this medicine lasts for around 12 hours and is best taken without alcohol and on an empty stomach. The first three times I used Viagra, there were the side effects of a stuffy nose, some minor heartburn and diarrhoea the next day. By the fourth pill the side effects were all but gone! My wife is not aware that I take Viagra and she comments how good our sex has become. Thanks V"


"I am 38 female ..I have had a very hard time finding a med. that really worked..I was starting to think that I just had to accept that this was now my life and Deal with the it..i had lost my happy dwelled in past...but Brintellix :) :) yay! i feel brighter..hopeful..i can think if the future without dread...more energy and mph..just more me..very little..almost no side effects first day a lil upset stomach..but not bad..I hate that i have to take something to feel normal however i am so grateful this medication is available and that i am now on it. God bless I hope you all find what you need."


"Last year my oldest daughter who is now 9yrs old was diagnosed with ADD and the doctor put her on Aderrall but within a week took her off and right away put her on Vyvanse 30mg. It worked perfect for a while but now have to get her dosage raised because it wears off after only a few hours although the upside is that her grades have improved tremendously and now I also have an 8 yr old who was also diagnosed with ADHD and is also taking Vyvanse 30 mg and I've noticed a real positive change in her concentration and her mood. I love it because she is also doing so much better in school."


"I use it on cuts and scrapes for the whole family and it significantly contributes to healing with no side effects. We only apply it a couple times a day, for just a few days."


"Even though concerts has been helping me in school, I still get a lot of the side effects. The biggest one is that I am never hungry and now I am underweight. I still recommend you this medication because it has helped me improve my grades in school."


"I've been on the patch for about 9 years going on 10 years. Absolutely love it! It is super convenient, no pregnancies and if you're forgetful like I am it works GREAT! I tried the pill and that made me very nauseous so I decided to give Ortho Evra a try and it was the best decision I've ever made! My breasts grew but that's about the only side effect I experienced. Unfortunately I've been getting a lot of yeast infections recently so I'm going to try the Nuvaring to see if the Ortho patch is what's causing it (highly doubtful). Worth a try though. I highly recommend Ortho Evra."


"I have taken it for 1 and 1/2 years for migraine. Also, after developing chronic lower back pain from degenerative discs it has really helped me cope with the pain."


"After my mom's glioblastoma didn't respond to Temodar/radiation, she was put on Avastin, once every two weeks. After four treatments, the tumor has shrunk by 65%!! My mom is very tired though, that is the main side effect she is experiencing. She takes several naps everyday but is otherwise completely fine. We are currently seven months from her diagnosis."


"I took this medication for several months for anxiety and it did nothing to help at all.  In fact my anxiety got worse."


"Today is my last day to be on the pack 250ml pill. I was very skeptic about this, but it seemed to have worked. I was diagnosed by an urgent care Dr. for common cold upper respiratory infection so was prescribed the medication. On my third day I was still congested and it was difficult coughing up phlegm, called an on line medical Dr. and recommended taking MucinexDm or RobutussinDm and it helped. I did get better the day after taking the zpack . Side effects were vomiting on the first day, slight abdominal pain, and slight loss of appetite."


"I had unprotected sex on Wednesday and took the pill Thursday (today). I have done nothing but sleep since taking the pill and also have a slight headache. I am still very worried but after taking the pill my mind is more at ease. My regular period is due in 2-3 weeks (I'm irregular). I guess all I can do is wait and try not to stress myself out even more."


"I have read all of the reviews and am surprised at so many with serious side effects.  That is a shame, because I have had remarkable success with Movantik.  I have taken opioids for 8 years due to chronic and severe degenerative disk disease.  I have taken fentanyl, morphine, oxycontin, hydromorphone, etc.  The most current treatment is 24 mg of hydromorphone and 15mg of methadone per day.  Constipation was a terrible side effect.  I continually used OTC of all types, to little avail. At times, I would go 4-6 days w/o a BM.  I had a BM on the first day I took 25mg of Movantik. No side effects.  I take it once per day, and have a BM almost once per day. Sometime at the most every two days. Stools are not irregular. For me, a miracle drug"


"I started taking Zoloft about 3 1/2 weeks ago. The first week I started to feel better. Though about 5 days in I had a really bad hotflash where I had to lay on the floor for about 5 minutes, and then I felt like I was going to throw up. Haven't had that sense. I do feel tired so I've started taking it at night. Also, I feel like I have restless leg syndrome. But other than those things I am now able to focus and my OCD seems to have calmed down a lot. I still get anxious, but it doesn't stick around as long and I'm able to move on from it easier. I feel like I can live in the moment and not worry about my past or present or what issue I need to stop before it happens. I am able to focus better at work too. I think my husband likes me now."


"I can say I've had nothing but great experiences since having it placed last June. I was on the pill for 3 years before finding out about the implant. On the pill I gained about 30lbs but thought it was my only option. I decided to get the implant as I had been forgetting to take the pills, and my Dr said it was the most effective form of birthcontrol around right now. The placing of the implant was painless, just a little uncomfortable. I got regular period the two months after the insertion, and have not had a period since, which I love. I really haven't had any side affects, except for losing about 20lbs (back to my normal weight prior to the pill) so I'm not complaining. Uncomfortable at times (if I sleep on my arm), but I rarely notice it there"


"second bout with shingles--this time treated with zovirax--relief within a few days"


"I started this pill to only have 4 periods a year.  I don't need the Birth Control because my husband is "fixed". I was like clockwork every 28 days, but my period would last 7 horrible days.  I had major bleeding, clotting and cramps.  So, I thought this would help with both the flow and amount of time.  I started the pill 8 weeks ago, since then I have been bleeding (enough to wear a pad) for 4.5 of those weeks. My breasts are super sore, and have grown a cup size. I have had cramping for most of the time.  I'm going to stop because it's causing the very thing I'm trying to eliminate."


"I am 42 years old just started taking Microgestin FE 1/20 for nine days before developing shortness of breath and inability to sleep.  Called my Doctor's office to inform and was told to stop taking the pill.  Hoping I will have better luck with a different brand."


"Did not help at all."


"MY person experience may differ for others, but BEST combo for me so far, has included Wellbutin XL 300mg. Many years receiving mental health services (27 years). Had to stop SSRI's. Wellbutrin however helped increase my motivation, had none. Was so bad I laid in bed months from severe depression, so long immobile that both legs filled with blood clots and near death!! Survived on blood thinners and hospital over a week. With Wellbutrin had no weight gain, lost the 50lb other meds helped put on me! Lower cholest., quit smoking as a nice bonus and no sexual issues, in fact helped imho."


"No after taste at unlike all the others that I have tried -- and it does not cause awful tasting gas unlike all the others that I have tried.

Smaller than most of the others too!"


"I've been on Ocella for about 4 months now, after being on Microgestin for 4  years. I don't have too many complaints with either, although I will say that my skin is far clearer on Ocella than it ever was on Microgestin. My periods on Ocella are quite light and last only 4-5 days; cramps are usually mild. No headaches, nausea, mood swings, or noticeable change in sex drive, which seem to be a problem for a lot of other women. Also, I actually dropped a couple of pounds after starting Ocella with no lifestyle or diet change. My only concern is that I do have a history of ovarian cysts, which Microgestin effectively quashed; only time will tell whether or not Ocella causes any change. 23 years old, otherwise healthy."


"Using Tradjenta as a Byetta replacement.  Byetta never lowered blood glucose but made me feel much better.  Tradjenta similar to Byetta also gives me good energy and non-sick feeling.  No feeling of constantly having to urinate.  Not sleepy after meals.  Take Tradjenta with metformin and have also used insulin Apidra, but insulin doesn't seem to help me much.  Only on day 5 but noticed the positive effects after day one."


"With Chantix I quit smoking No side effects No Crazy dreams My doctor Prescribe The first session I Finished the first session And got a refill for a second session before the second session was complete I no longer  smoke cigarettes. Chantix WORKS."


"My general doctor gave me Paxil when I told her I had been having panic attacks and anxiety. I started on 10mg and when I hadn't noticed a difference after 6 weeks she upped the dose to 20mg. I still have anxiety day to day, and feel the beginning of a panic attack a lot, but am not able to go through with it. Sex drive completely gone. All I want to do is sleep. Depression worsened. This is not for me."


"I was prescribed 50mg of sertraline due to panic attacks and general anxiety. The first 2-3 weeks were almost unbearable (increased anxiety, insomnia and nausea) but slowly but surely after about a month I started to feel like I could finally relax. I would not recommend coming off this medication instantly-I tried it and I had horrible withdrawal symptoms so now I'm on 25mg every other day and it's worked out great for me! Stick through the bad times because it's so worth it!"


"Hi all! I was given this medicine for my anxiety, I took it for 1.5 months only. I want to advise people who take this medicine to stay clear because when doctor made dosage smaller before stopping, I began to have weird sensations, my body started to sweat and I began seeing aurora around people and objects on road and was fainting for the next three months. ER say I had grand mal seizure and need a neck surgery, it didnt feel like seizures I just felt like I was dreaming. In the ER they gave me the same medicine to treat seizure so I dont know what is wrong?? Why is this medication given if its so dangerous, I never felt like this before and was very fit athletic girl in sweden."


"Have had GAD (Anxiety, sometime severe) on and off for about 12 years.  I'm a 58 year old Male in excellent health, otherwise.

Nortriptyline was the 7th Med prescribed (after Lexapro, Beta Blockers, Zoloft, etc.) and for me it was radically better than all the other Meds.  Tried to take at night but was too activating.

Started taking 10 mg in the AM and another 10 mg in the afternoon (if needed).  Completely controlled my Anxiety, gave me more energy, improved sex drive, and cleared-up both Acne & Rosacea.  EXCELLENT Drug...worth a try.

Due to the low dose, I had none of the typical side effects (dry mouth, etc.)"


"My allergies were so bad here in Atlanta (spring 2010) that I had to see a pulmonary doctor for bronchial allergic asthma. It was like bronchitis but no phlegm, just a horrible heavy congestion feeling (which was really swollen, inflamed, bronchial passages) from the pollen.  The doctor put me on Singulair, Alvesco Inhaler, and then an ENT put me on Astepro.  In my opinion, the Singulair and the Astepro have been the key medications to feeling better and being able to live through these horrible pollen months."


"I recently started this medication at the 5mg level and have now gone up to 10mg. I feel better and don't feel like I am not so distressed when doing small chores like before. Only issue I have had is I am so tired."


"I have osteopena and I have taken fosamax and then boniva for  about 28 years and have had no side effects at all and my osteopena as shown in bone scans has not gotten worse. I am very active and have no pains and very good health. I am now 90 years old and recently fell and broke my wrist and fractured my pelvis because I stumbled over a curb.Both fractures healed within several months and I am back to being completely normal not having to use any devices for walking and I continue to travel all over the world. I give a lot of credit to both fosamax and boniva and would like for others to know about my experience as I believe these drugs  are responsible for my good health."


"I have been on Bydureon since March 2013.  Started initially with Byetta Sept. 2012 but had to make a switch because of nauseousness.  Bydureon has been so much easier to deal with and I haven't been nauseous.  The differences I found were 1) I feel hungrier with Bydureon (not as much appetite supression) so I just have to make sure I'm using good portion control; 2) I'm not losing weight as quickly as I did on Byetta.  It could be that I'm reaching goal weight and it's harder to lose the last little bit.  Current loss 82 lbs.  As far as BG numbers, I have gone from morning fasting # of 160s/170s before Byetta/Bydureon to 80s/90s now.  I've also gone from 2000 mg metformin daily to 1000 mg daily."


"Has changed my life."


"Wow! Is the only word to describe my experience to date.  I have read the side effects but my experiences have been very benign. I have had no thoughts of drinking after a multi month period of increasing usage. My side effects have been an increase in self esteem, better sleep (although my sleep cycle has changed and I actually sleep less but have deeper more restful sleep) waking more refreshed, better mood, focus and clarity.   I don't see many of these mood altering properties listed in side effects but they are real experiences for me."


"In 2005 after 20  yrs with plaque psoriasis I began to experience severe body aches & pains. My dermatologist recommended Enbrel to treat both Psoriatic Arthritis and plaque psoriasis. I started it in September 2005.  After 6-8 wks I had remarkable results, aches and pains ceased and psoriasis plaques cleared.  In May 09 during a routine follow-up w/ my dermatologist I complained of fatigue and other issues.  They assumed it was not related to the Enbrel. Instead intense Thyroid testing was recommended.  I was diagnosed with various thyroid nodules, biopsy showed suspicious cells.  My entire thyroid was removed in September 09 - No Cancer-hooray!  Very Scared to resume Enbrel after 8 wks but feeling desperate.  Aside from the cancer scare, drug has worked for me!"


"I am 47, disabled by the government. I have Chronic Pain for over 20 years.  I have had my right knee operated on 9 times.  A knee replacement and a knee revision. I've had my back fused at L4 & L5 (and need more fusing).
With working in the pharmacy field for over 30 years, I have used every pain medication that has come out.  I do not believe I am getting the relief I should be with Opana ER. I take 20mg twice a day plus Percocet 7.5mg/325mg three times a day as needed.
The pain is unbearable.  After 1 hour of taking the medication I still feel like I haven't taken anything. The Percocet's help some, but I can't take them every 4 hours.
I just want some relief and this drug doesn't give total relief."


"I have been suffering from Cluster Headaches periodically for the past 3 years. Did some research online and decided to ask my doc for some verapamil. Last Christmas I started taking it just before a holiday party and accidentally found out it also calms my anxiety. I was able to relax, and talk to people like a normal person and actually enjoyed people's company. It was a while since I felt that way in a social situation and I am so glad I came across verapamil."


"I have GAD, and after three years of taking care of  my younger brother who has severe GAD  as well as going through an episode of pyschosis, I was told by my pdoc that I have "caregiver's burnout".

I was prescribed 20 mgs of Paxil every day and 15mg of Buspirone (Buspar) twice a day. It has been nearly a month now on these meds and I do see an improvement. I'm not sure which one is helping me more but my anxiety level has gone from an 8 or 9 every day to about a 5. I hope to see continued improvement."


"I switched from Lexapro to Zoloft when we were trying to conceive as it's preferred for breastfeeding. Although I actually stopped cold turkey when I got pregnant and was fine. I didn't experience any major side effects from this though. I don't think it worked quite as well as Lexapro for anxiety but it did the job."


"My pharmacy ended up switching my birth control and gave me this one. First of all I bled out for over a month on this birth control...not for me. I don't like getting my period a lot. I had severe cramps and was always tired. I don't recommend this birth control to any one. Causes very abnormal bleeding."


"I took Contrave for 5 weeks. I titrated up until on the "maintenance dose" 4/day.  Weight loss started after 2 weeks. Appetite incredibly suppressed.  Full after eating only a little bit. No interest in sweets. No  interest in food. I lost 12 pounds -went from 220.8 to 208.8. I'm 5'6"", 53 yr old female.  Drug was great UNTIL 6 days on the high dose. Severe headaches! Horrible tightening of throat. Jaw super tight. INCREDIBLY painful stomachaches. Holding my stomach all day long. The thought of eating anything made me sick. Spent 2 days obsessed about life after death.  I stopped cold turkey, threw out almost full bottle. Side effects outweighed benefits. BE CAREFUL! Trying Belviq as it worked couple yrs ago.             ,"


"Awful. Severe headache every time I take it. This drug literally induces a cluster headache for me, ugh "


"Recently yesterday morning found out that I had this infection. Doctor prescribed me Azithromycin and they are 500mg. It says take two at once.. So I took that, and my metroNidazole together, so that's about 1,500mg in my body. I started freaking out because I thought I was over dosing. They should prescribe the nausea meds for you to take before the Azithromycin. Well, I waited two hours... And I started feeling really sick, like I was gonna throw up! I went to the bathroom but the diarrhea wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had to take this when I could get the pills which was later yesterday night. I thought I should take them before I went to sleep. I slept the whole night! Still tired. Stay safe!"


"I am 47 year old female and depressed.  4/19/2012 I started taking the generic Bupropion.  Experiencing horrific side effects switched to the brand name, Wellbutrin, and am much much better.  It is worth the extra money to not have the horrible headaches and other side effects. Weight loss is a huge bonus! Good luck."


"I suffered from multiple sinus infections several times a year.  Since taking Zyrtec on a regular basis I have been sinus trouble free for over a year.  THANK YOU ZYRTEC!"


"I found this medication very effective, I am able to stay on task without changing my mood, speak clearer without getting tongue tied and I do eat smaller portion than I usually do. I've only lost 5lbs the max within two year and the only side affect I have is occasional dry mouth. It's best to stay hydrated and eat a snack in between meals while on this medication to reduce the dry mouth it works for me."


"I've had my Implanon for 14 months now and love it. As a busy college student/newlywed I didn't want to have to worry about a pill or shot so this do it once and forget about it method works great for my schedule. Positives: I've had a great sex drive, absolutely no period or bleeding and no pregnancy. Negatives: I have experienced weight gain and mood swings or I guess a heightened level of the moods I already had. I tend to cry for no reason at random times and get really short with people, which like I said, I did before the Implanon. Now it just seems a bit more common. I plan to keep mine the full 3 years."


"This is the worst pain I have ever been in I have used the internal cream applicator and it's burning and itching like CRAZY!!! This should absolutely be BANNED"


"I wish I would have read these comments prior to me starting this pill. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! I have been bleeding and passing EXTREMELY LARGE blood clots for 13 days. It started 2 days into my second pack. The pain is severe almost mirroring labor pains with abdominal contractions everytime I pass a clot. I stopped the pill and bleeding continues to get worse. Avoid this pill like the plague!!"


"I have been telling everyone I trust that this is the best medicine I have ever taken! I have tried everything! I mean everything! I only have a little weight gain and that's it. I'm not tired or exhausted. My crashes are like 5 seconds! Seriously! I'm 44 years old I'm a leisure Body Builder and I'm in shape. I've always been in tune with my body. I always feel if I have a cold coming on and I would fight it before it becomes full blown. I know if I'm getting side effects from medicine which I always have from the other medicines. Latuda does not mess with me sexually either. I recommend this medicine!"


"This birth control is terrible. I've never had acne before in my life, and now after taking this for almost 2 months I have acne on my entire face, and also on my back. I have also gained 6 pounds, and this pill effects me emotionally very much. Since taking this pill I now have bad social anxiety, and constantly find myself tearing up for no reason at all. I am genuinely a happy person, and this birth control constantly has me feeling anxious or sad. Only positive of this is it has prevented pregnancy like it's main purpose. I am now switching to a new brand."


"Within one week it made a big difference. My depression had led to blood clots. This pill worked, I did not have any side effects, great pill. "


"I've been on so many anti depressants. I can't even tell you how many I've tried and none of them had any effect or very little. My doctor started me out on sample pack of Viibryd and gave me a few packs of the 40mg to last me until she gets back from out of the country. I've been on it for a month now and it's been amazing. I have schizoaffective disorder with major depression, panic disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Viibyrd is amazing. I feel so much better already. I never got any of the side effects other people experienced. It's been nothing but pleasant for me. My mood, energy, everything has gotten so much higher than it has been in years. I'm so excited about my future now. I have so many dreams that I feel like I can now accomplish and I'm very optimistic now."


"Thank God for this medication.  It has allowed me to have a life.  Initially there was some nausea, but after a couple of days it subsided.  Before I was honestly suicidal because I could not get relief from my back/hip pain.  Now, most of the time, I'm able to function like a normal person.  "


"My first 3 weeks on Lupron were miserable. Painful, the heaviest period I've ever had, and just overall regretting my decision. It's now been about 2 months and I'm feeling amazing! Hot flashes and forgetfulness, yes. But the pain is almost completely gone. My pain had me bedridden some days and now my worst days just require a heating pad. I can't believe the turn around."


"I have been taking one 2 mg clonidine twice a day for Opiate Withdrawals. I have a $200 a day Heroin habit. With the Clonidine I have not been sick. The only side effect I have is trouble staying awake and operating a car. This could be the miracle I have been looking for to get off the Heroin."


"Where do I begin? The product is extremely expensive and dosing is erratic. One meal I need 4 units and the next I might need 8 (did I mention this stuff isn't cheap?). Causes a nagging cough (you are inhaling a powder into your lungs). Long term side effects on the lungs are unknown at this point (lung cancer noted in a couple of patients using Afrezza). Not worth the hassle nor the money"


"I've suffered with chronic back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, debilitating chronic migraines and insomnia for 20yrs. For ten of the last 13 I took 150mg amitrptyline with an opiate pain killer and had my pain and migraines under control and quality of life. 3yrs ago my Dr. had to retire due to heart problems. I have a new pain management specialist but they only have me on 25mg amitrptyline and have me  taking Neurotin instead. I've had horrifying insomnia ever since. Now I also have terrible neuopathy and parathisia and also interstalial cystalis, IBS, and  have no quality of life any more. But now because of all your comments I have the courage to tell my Dr. I want my dosage raised because I know what works for me. Thank you all! "


"I was prescribed this medicine for moderate pain after surgery. My incisions bothered me, and I took 4 pills a day for the first 3 days, then usually 2 a day. However, the side effects: nausea, palpitations, dizziness, drowsiness AND sleeplessness, constipation and mental vagueness were really too unpleasant to be rid of minor pain, so after a week I stopped taking it. It is annoying that after stopping it, I suffered nausea, palpitations, and weakness/drowsiness after large meals--possibly due to withdrawal."


"I'm a healthy and active 24 year old. I had mirena placed when my second child was 10 weeks old. I bleed quite a bit the first 2 months but then all of a sudden it stopped. I have not had a period or spotting in the last 4 months. I have the occasional cramp but that's it."


"Well,  if you're reading this review I suspect you are getting ready to gulp down some Suprep. Ok, so, here is my advice to you...Go buy yourself some limes, or lemons, I prefer limes.  Cut them into wedges and coat them with some sugar. I like Sugar in the Raw. Mix your prep and put it into the fridge until it gets nice and cold. When you are ready take a lime wedge and suck on it, take a nice big swig of the prep and them immediately suck on the lime again. Continue until all of the prep is gone. The sourness of the lime eliminates any flavor from the prep. I truly can not tell you what the prep tastes like. In my mind I just had a nice margarita. Wait about 15 minutes and run like the wind to the bathroom. I swear, it's no big deal. PS don't forget the vaseline to protect your butt."


"It was used as a pain reliever in an emergency room setting by a licensed practicing physician.  I received two separate doses at my own informed request, but the second dose was a bit much for me. Although it did what it was supposed to do which was relieve the pain I was experiencing. It was too powerful for my liking."


"Was prescribed for anxiety/obsessive thoughts. Couldn't make it to max therapeutic dose -- at 200mg the medication caused me to lose my voice for over 2 months. As soon as the medication was stopped, my voice came back."


"I recently switched pharmacy brands and have noticed I am EXTREMELY tired all the time from taking this new generic. It is from mail order Humana and mfr Glenmark Generics. It is so bad to the point that I cannot even function. I am at a loss for explaining this. My life is now total despair."


"Paxil was an absolute life changer for me 8 years before 'pooping out' last year. Alcohol abuse was almost certainly the cause of it's ineffectiveness & I have learned my lesson. Many negative reviews on the web describe the severe withdrawal symptoms. I count myself lucky that Paxil worked wonders for me WITHOUT any withdrawal periods. Not everyone experiences this withdrawal so if you're here reading experiences & worrying about possible future withdrawal don't assume it will happen to you. I am now on mirtazapine which is ok but I really miss the feel good 'boost' & confidence that Paxil gave me. I used to call this my 'serotonin high'.  I hope to find another SSRI that worked similar to Paxil for me. Zoloft & citalopram failed."


"I've only been on Norvasc 10mg for about a week. It has lowered my blood pressure and so far no side effects. Will keep on monitoring it."


"Just took my 2nd dose of Trulicity. I am OVER IT!! Aching so bad all over, feeling like I have been hit and run over by a semi. Severe aching in legs and mid-back and arms. Muscle twitching and the scary thing is after about 5 hours of taking shot...my lips swell and Can hardly feel my tongue. My lips and tongue feel swollen and numb. This is scary!! Plus sinuses are swollen, which I DO NOT NEED!! Fight sinus issues on daily basis don't need med to make them swell. Pain in back of neck and head as well. No more of Trulicity for this person. I AM OVER IT"


"I was prescribed Cipro for a nasty and on going sinus infection.  I realized after many months of physical therapy on a bad case of tennis elbow that when I quit Cipro the tennis elbow disappeared.  The side effects listed tendon problems.  I believe it affected my elbow rather than other tendons."


"So I recently visited a dermatologist due to hormonal acne. Never before did I have to worry so much about my skin that it would drastically affect my mood, social life, etc. I've spent so much money on better skincare, higher end and full coverage foundations - nothing was working (tea tree oil, spot treatment, apple cider vinegar, legit tried everything). The derm prescribed me 100mg of Spironolactone - but said it takes a few weeks to kick in. I'm on my third week and honestly not many changes. In addition she prescribed me Aczone. I don't know if this is just not strong enough for deep acne, but I apply this gel on my affected area multiple times a day and it has not gotten better. I think it may be better for smaller whiteheads, etc."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Today is day 1 of my treatment for h pylori "


"I got Levora at planned parenthood for free and it's definitely the best thing I've ever gotten for free! I experience no significant side effects. Cramps are less intense than before, much more bearable and almost nonexistent, lasting only a few hours before period-- and that's all. The first two months were a bit erratic with mood swings, but have since balanced significantly. Acne is unchanged and normal for me as a 17 y/o (which is why I also believe that this pill works tremendously better for me than other women); weight gain was minimal, only about 5 pounds, but my weight fluctuates usually between 120 and 130 now, whereas before the pill, fluctuation was between 116 and 120. I eat more than I used to, but this is intentional."


"I selected "depression" but this medicine has been beneficial for fatigue and hypersomnia as well.  Started using this medicine in 2006! Yes, and I have tried almost everything else for depression, and I cannot say the side-effects or results from so-called approved depression medications were ever worth the horror they delivered. So, yes, I would recommend this for depression in the form of modafinil."


"Cymbalta works for me, I have symptoms of PTSD and have tried other medications for my anxiety such as: PAXIL, CELEXA, and PROZAC with no good results. So far so good with Cymbalta with minimal sexual side effects for me. Psychotherapy and Physical Fitness is recommended if you use this medication."


"It has been quite a change for the better. I've been suffering from panic attacks and really bad anxiety since 16, now 21 and finally broke down, had enough, went to the doc and he put me on sertraline. Been on it for almost 3 months and it has made a huge difference. I feel happier around my coworkers and around people. I haven't felt weird and uncomfortable or had any bad panic attacks. I'm on 25mg and feel in control of my life. I'm finally feeling normal thanks to this medicine so far. I'll stick with this dose for awhile and see how it goes. Side effects very little like shaky when I wake up. But I love it so far."


"I am a 23 year old male suffering from extreme MDD and GAD i have been taking 150 mg of Efexxor XL and 15 of Remeron for two months. I have tried Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin XL, Zoloft, Paxil, and Prozac and this is by far the best medication! I have been lifted from the darkness and have had no side effects including sexual dysfunction. Yay!"


"Currently taking with phentermine. At night.  I wake up without the need to binge. I feel like I get a good nights rest also. Went from 172lb to 137lb. 170 days.  No adverse effects to report."


"I smoked for 15 years. Chantix is a God send. However I had two rounds of it before I quit.  It helps with the cravings and after a week on this medicine it makes the cigarettes taste awful, this was my mistake I kept smoking and got used to the change. Well fast forward another 6 months after I was off Chantix for a while I started again and stopped after about 2 weeks when the cigarettes started tasting funny again.  And that was 7 years ago. I literally owe this medicine my life. My life that I can now spend more time with my daughter and she will not grow up around second hand smoke.  It did give me nausea when I took it but only lasted from 20 minutes to an hour. But what is a little nausea compared to being able to stop smoking."


"Been taking this medication for almost a week. I felt relief almost immediately after taking the medication. Right now, after six days of taking it I'm up with the runs. Ughhhh, stomach cramps, and runny bowel motions."


"I have very bad anxiety attacks that occur at random. I take one in the morning and one at night and its helps he immensely I believe its a life saver it brings tears to my eyes. It relieved the torture of daily anxiety attacks which caused me great depression."


"I've been on this for two years and kept waiting for a 3 month cycle to go well, but it never did. I didn't have many painful side effects, but the whole last 5 weeks of each pack, I bled JUST enough to need a minipad every day. Also gained 25 lbs in two years. Stopping after this pack is finished."


"Started having panic attacks on a regular basis soon after bypass surgery at 58 yrs. I thought the antidepressant I had been taking for some 30 yrs. wasn't working anymore. After suffering with this for several years, I had a real good one, which sent me to the ER. They gave me a Xanax. Unbelievable, it was like a wave of calm went through me. Haven't been without the drug since. I take it when I feel an attack coming on, and it just dosen't happen. It helps you live a normal life."


"This medication was a disaster for my bipolar disorder. I felt depressed and hyper at the same time. I couldn't sleep, and couldn't think clearly. I was more manic than I'd ever been. Stopping the drug was like turning off the faucet of pain."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I'm only on day 2 and I had to call out of work because I've felt nauseous all day. Yesterday I was nauseous, but today is 10x worse. I have chills, loose stools, woke up with a weird taste in my mouth last night, and I'm sick to my stomach. I've barely gotten out of bed all day, and I have no idea how I'm supposed to complete 10 days of this medication. I feel like I've been poisoned and it's slowly killing me."


"Before this I tried one mini pill and had mood swings/break outs.  Then tried combined pill (lucette) and gained weight rapidly-even went up a cup size in a week.  As a result, I felt depressed because of my weight gain.  I then tried the IUD, intercourse felt like being stabbed internally and I had bleeding everyday for four months with flesh clots.  Although my gp claimed this wasn't because of the IUD, they eventually removed it due to an ovarian cyst.  Within days all side effects stopped, but my gp put me on Cerelle, which made me have insane mood swings and depression.  This is the first pill with no side effects other than light breakthrough bleeding every few months."


"Only have taken one dose. Best way to describe the taste is liquid version of chewable cherry aspirin. Not a bad taste if its one tiny tablet quite another thing to taste it in a glass of water that you have to chug. Had to resort to straw. Though I dont know how I am going to handle round two, because at the moment the thought of drinking water makes me want to hurl, there are worse tasting things so I willl march on."


"As far as birth control goes-great. It has prevented unwanted pregnancy for me and my boyfriend for a while now; however, ever since I started this birth control I've been very emotional and very forgetful. It's gotten to the point where I have to write down everything."


"Zoloft has really helped my life a great deal you never understand how much you needed help until you get treatment and be able to see such a better difference in your live but it all starts with you and yes its a journey but its one worth taking"


"Has controlled my seizures, in conjunction with Tegretol, for over fifteen years, seizure free."


"Took this pill for BV for 7 days. First few days was fine. I'm now on day 5 and the side effects hit me. I'm so nauseous and can hardly eat anything. I'm constantly tired and I can barely sleep. I keep waking up in the middle of the night which I never do. My lower back is aching. My whole body aches but especially my lower back. It cleared up my BV but the side effects are awful."


"All of these women who said they tried it for a couple months and hated it so they stopped,  need to be educated. When you start taking hormones (birth control pill) or you switch pills, it takes a few months for your body to adjust. You could see spotting and side effects for a couple months. However, if you take the pill properly at the exact same time every day then these symptoms such as spotting will go away. I love this birth control because I has a constant hormone dose, so I never spot anymore. Periods are short and much lighter. Fantastic birth control!"


"When I started birth control, I was initially put on Desogen. That birth control gave me horrible mood swings and I eventually had to switch when they began to interfere with my life. I started Loestrin 24 Fe after that, and I liked it a lot more at first than I do now. I have now been on this pill since about August of 09, and I am currently looking to find another method to try since I am experiencing terrible lack of sex drive and random cramps throughout the month. However, I still give this birth control a 6 because the lack of libido is the worst symptom I have experienced, and after the horror of mood swings I experienced before, that doesn't seem AS bad."


"Unfortunately, the 3 injections in my knee have done nothing to alleviate the pain, in fact, it is 3 weeks after all shots & my knee is slightly worse than before. I am hoping that by 6 months, when it wears off for those who experienced excellent results, for me, it will be back to "normal". Perhaps another brand will work better for me. The 1st shot did not hurt at all, but after 2 days, it became very painful, so much so I could not sleep. It did finally settle down, but I did consider not finishing the shots at all. 2nd was somewhat painful and left a small bruise. The third was just a little painful. Before the shots, I wore a knee brace during the day & do that now, too  My doctor says I am not a candidate for replacement surgery."


"I had severe anxiety and panic attacks daily for 20 years. It literally controlled my life and ruined my days for me. I tried paxil and zoloft and hated both and felt worse on zoloft than I did with out it. At 28 years old after struggling for so many years I finally decided to try something new and was prescribed Lexipro. It has changed my life. I feel like a normal person finally and can go out and do things on my own with out fear and anxiety attacks! I highly recommend this med."


"I didn't really have a chance to find out if this medication lifted my mood, as I got really bad side effect of flatulence! It was terrible and very embarrassing I had to come off it after 5 days."


"I started Contrave 5 days (11/13/2017) ago. I have ZERO side effects... yesterday I went to "all  you can eat buffet" and did not look away from food.... I am not sure, if I eat less.... I do not think so. I will keep taking it for a while and we will see. I will give an update in a month or so..."


"I use this for both motion sickness and severe migraines, I'm 25 years old and this actually takes away the hurt from noise, light, touch and yes dizziness and vomiting. I can actually move and participate with my family this Christmas. Rarely do I mix it, if anything I just take max dosage recommended."


"Been depressed since 13 years old. Didn't take an antidepressant until late 50's. Resisted, tried everything else. Still have to do work, like therapy, exercise, diet, rest, mental care, but this is like a Miracle for me. Never even knew how depressed I was before. Now I am only anxious. Ha ha. Have to work on that, but it is much better to be anxious than, anxious and depressed."


"I read a lot of horror stories online before I got the Mirena so I was concerned, but willing to give it a try. I think it's great - but there were a few bad points in the first few months of the medication.

Insertion was very uncomfortable, cramping followed by cramps lasting for six hours and light soreness for a couple of days (I have no children). I had a light period lasting for over one month after insertion, and really weird brown discharge after that for several months. I didn't notice a change to my libido. I felt "aware" of the Mirena for a while. But I stuck with it.

It's a year since. I have no symptoms - no mood swings, no skin issues, no weird bodily functions. I don't have a period anymore or any cramping - it's awesome!"


"I never do online reviews but this is important. Skyla absolutely ruined my life. I've had it for 2 months and I'm getting it out as soon as possible. I've had it. I've always had little bouts of depression and anxiety but in the past two months it has been unbearable. I've been a nervous wreck to the point that it's driving me insane. I've considered suicide. I've been bleeding for almost the entire two months. This has taken a toll on my sex life which was the whole reason I got the IUD in the first place. And eventually, because of the emotional wreck I've been, it completely ruined my relationship of over a year. He's willing to try again once I get it taken out, but he can't handle the deep depression and mood swings. Do not do it."


"AMAZING! Got rid of acne I've had for 5 years in only 6 months. Perfect skin."


"I got Nexplanon inserted at my 6 week checkup after having my daughter in July 2014. I have experienced 20lb weight gain since, severe cramps, depression, nonexistent libido and nauseousness. Definitely works as birth control, but isn't worth the side effects."


"Great experience. No side effects. I still have a period but that's okay. I highly recommend. Don't let previous reviews detour you from giving it a try!"


"Where do I start? I'm 22 years old and I had Implanon inserted middle of July 2009. Insertion was painless but side effects are unbearable. I've gained 50 lbs and counting, constant bleeding ever since I got it; severe anxiety/depression and mood swings. No sex drive, increased vaginal discharge, acne ....did I mention I've been bleeding for 6 months! I want to switch to Yaz but I smoke. "


"I started taking Lexapro going on 3 weeks ago and I think it's great.  The side effects that I suffered in the very beginning were headaches but they are all pretty much gone.

I also did not put on any additional weight. I actually lost about 4 pounds. It seems to suppress my appetite. I highly recommend it."


"I have been on the Implanon a little over a year now. I have not had any periods besides a little spotting the first couple months. (Yay for not having to pay for tampons & chocolate!)  I love the fact of not having a period and not getting pregnant right now, but there are a few downsides to it. My downsides: I never had acne previously and I now have it really bad, i gained about 45 lbs, and I have horrible mood swings. It has its good and its bad to it, just be cautious of the side effects."


"I started Taltz after developing a severe flare up of Psoriasis with Humira( worst medication ever). It has improved my Psoriasis lesions slightly  but I have not had a great improvement as others describe, I have been taking it now for 12 week. I have about 50% improvements. I am still hoping it clears my skin but I expected to have better results by now."


"LOVE this BCP. It's the *only* one I've tried that didn't make my hair fall out, didn't make me feel bloated, didn't make me swell, and didn't ruin my skin. My libido isn't dampened half as much as it was on other BCPs (it was non-existent on other BCPs). It helps immensely with PCOS symptoms. At first it made me a little tired, but by the middle of week 2 I was fine. :) Love it.
My insurance charged me $ for this drug, but that's against the ACA- there's no generic for this drug, and it was RX'd as medically necessary so it should have been covered at $0 copay. The issue is currently being investigated."


"Works very well. My doc said as well that it's only safe for 3 weeks at a time, for flare ups not everyday use. It works very well."


"I found the Troche very easy to use and not in the least objectionable. I have used it as prescribed for 7 days but feel that it should have been issued for a longer period of time. My mouth and throat are still sensitive and burning."


"GREAT antibiotic!

Love that I take two on the 1st day, and only 4 others, instead of taking the other “horse pills 3-4X a day for 10 days

Worked within one day, and very effective with no side effects that I felt"


"I am a 61 year old male having trouble getting erections. I take 50 mg of Viagra it works great for me. I get hard first time and it feels great, I get another erection later but can not ejaculate I have to wait a few days in between. But it is worth getting erections like in my 20 s again. Thank you my confidence is back. Enjoy sex again."


"I had my Skyla inserted a little over 3 months ago (9/29/15 and I reviewed that process on this thread the same day.)
It took getting used to physically as my belly was crampy for 12-14 days. I broke out more in the first month or two but that's thankfully calmed down to just a few days before my period. Periods are weird! Come when they want, super light but enough to be annoying and require a tampon. But, my periods were wacky as a teen and didn't become normal until I started the pill. Estrogen based birth control caused my fibroids and my abdominal myomectomy in July '15 - can't really blame Skyla for wacky periods due to my history and major uterine surgery.
Overall, very happy with it! Fingers crossed the positives continue!"


"I took Prozac for about a year.  My husband said I seemed less depressed so I continued taking it, but in most ways I seemed worse.  I felt like  a zombie.  I lost interest in sex.  I just sat around all day doing nothing.  I am 65 now and I have had depression since I was about 10.  I find that meditation, exercise, and careful eating have helped me way more than prozac.  The only time I get depressed now is if I eat junk food.  I eat only organic foods.  I quit eating all grains (pasta, rice, cereal, bread, crackers, cookies, cake, etc.).  I never use sugar.  If I need a little sweetener I use stevia (no artificial sweeteners).  I eat a lot of veggies.  I eat only a small amount of fruit (sugar) especially berries.  Healthy/Happy."


"It has really helped with urges and no real side effects I can tell except for more vivid dreams, not bad dreams, just more vivid and more memorable. Would recommend for anyone who REALLY wants to quit smoking."


"Currently drinking moviprep. 1st litre just finished!!! Taste not great but it isn't that bad. I drank flavoured water inbetween drinks to take away the taste"


"I have been on Sprintec for 3 months now. My first month I had really bad acne and my brests were very sore. However, those symptoms stopped within a few days of my first cycle. I do experience occasional dizziness and nausea, but they usually pass after 10 minutes or so. I haven't had any weight loss or gain, and my mood and sex drive haven't been effected at all. My periods aren't completely regular even with the birth control, but they are much lighter and more tolerable. I am very happy with my experience with Sprintec so far."


"I switched to Lo Loestrin about a year ago. I didn't start to realize until after I was off of birth control for 2 months  and started again what this BC did to me. I gained weight in only specific area like lower stomach and chest, blew up immediately after my first pack. Mind you my diet or exercise did not change but my body did. I also was bloated for 2-3 weeks at a time before and after my inactive pills. Over all Lo Loestrin did it's job for me but I am on a search for a BC thats more healthy for my body."


"I wasn't even thinking of quitting.  I began taking Welbutrin/Zyban and within a week I hadn't craved smoking. It has been great and I have been smoke-free for almost 2 months now."


"when i found out i had bv, my doctor prescribed me with metrodinazole. my doctor told me to take all 4 pills at once with food and water. on the second day the odor was gone. then the discharge was slowly going away. i was looking up the side effects of metrodinazole. i did have a metallic taste whenever i ate or drank something and i felt kinda dizzy at times. but i must say, it is all worth it to have a healthy body again."


"I am on day 3 of my cycle and of taking Lysteda. I take 2 pills 3x's a day.  This is my first months use and I can say without doubt I will take Lysteda as long as my doctor will allow! I am usually homebound the first 3 days of my period as I have to have access to a bathroom every 15 minutes. Not to mention the horrendous pain from cramps. Lysteda started working within a half hour of taking first dose.  My flow was reduced by at least 60%. A couple of ibuprofen for light cramps and life was business as usual.  I was able to go out and not worry about excessive bleeding. After more than 30 years of being imprisoned by my cycle I finally can live life again! I am so happy I just want to shout it from the top of the world! "


"I just had my Mirena put in yesterday. I work in an OBGYN office and I had one of our doctors put it in. I searched reviews and saw a lot of negatives on the pain during insertion. I just wanted to share my experience for those out there looking for a positive review. My doctor prescribed misoprostol (dilates the cervix) to insert vaginally 24hrs and 12hrs before the insertion because I haven't had children. I would strongly recommend doing this if you haven't had kids. Dr. used lidocaine when measuring my cervix which helped. My uterus is retroverted and she had no issues placing it. Its uncomfortable but not unbearable. Just take deep breaths and focus on something else and you'll be done! Make sure you have a heating pad and Aleve."


"The beta-blockers have been an amazing comfort to me for really stressful presentations or broadcast interviews - where I am able to perform without being red-faced and shaky. HOWEVER, I don't take them often because the side effects I experience are vivid (almost waking) nightmares. For instance, the night of one presentation, I was woken up by a strange man in my room... in reality he wasn't a stranger, he was my husband, but in my waking dream, I didn't have a husband and I had never seen him before in my life - I was absolutely terrified he was going to hurt me. I nearly punched him (in reality) in my attempt to get away from my loving and confused husband."


"I am a 75 year old man, who I feel is in good health with not much time spent at the doctors, that is until I was put on Ramipril. I was told this was for high blood pressure. After about 4 weeks I came out in very large red lumps( looked a little like water blisters, they were about the same size as a 50p piece). They were all over the top of my body and were itchy. At the time I didn't know it was these tablets, so I stopped for a couple of days and the rashes cleared. Tried again today and waiting to see what happens."


"When I was 22 I found out I had endometriosis and my doctor recommended this to regulate my periods.  I was giving samples since I didn't have any insurance I took it for two years until they no longer had anymore sample and I still didn't have any insurance and was unable to pay for it. I absolutely loved being on this it was so nice having a period that only lasted three days and only four periods a year. Yes when u first start taking it u do have some breakthrough bleeding which is annoying but stick with it because once ur over that is great. Now I'm back on it and my periods last a max of two days. I love it and so much less pain from endometriosis"


"This works great for coughs.  I had bronchitis pretty bad and it worked almost immediately.  I didn't really look at what the doctor was giving me so I didn't realize right away that it was going to be so strong. I don't take it every four hours as directed.  I take it once or twice a day and that is enough.  At first I made the mistake of taking it right out of the bottle; big mistake.  Don't take more than directed, in my case I was told to take one teaspoon.  That is more than enough.  "


"I love it helps my skin"


"This really is a life saver. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have cripling morning sickness. So bad that I could not eat or drink anything for over a week. As soon as I took one pill I became 100000000 times better. I would recommend this pill to anyone. I love it. 10 out of 10 in my book."


"When I first was put on Generess Fe, I had no side effects until the second week. It was like everything hit me at once. I can't stop eating, my face never breaks out and as of now it's acne central, I've been throwing up and I can't even go to work without getting immediately annoyed."


"The worst antipsychotic I've ever taken. I could barely walk and my rigidity was so bad my legs seized up totally."


"Working for a long time just don't take more than what is prescribed. "


"I started taking previfem about 4 months ago (I've been on it for about a month) and it was pretty awful. At the beginning my acne got worse and I wanted to eat everything. I actually thought that I was pregnant because of my mood swings and the fact that gained 10 pounds. After the 2nd month my acne totally cleared up but I was still gaining weight, when I went to the Doctor for a check up he noticed I was a bit heavier and thats when I got off it. It also made my face really fat ????"


"The side effects can be difficult, but I am still alive and have been on the drug for 8 months."


"Every now and then I would get a sharp pain in my belly and when I tried to go nothing came out.  If I waited long enough it would but it was not fun since it was large and took some effort to get out.  At times I was in so much pain I was sweating and nearly in tears trying to get it out.  One day I felt it coming but didn't want to go through all that so I went and bought 2 10oz bottles of the lemon flavor.  I came home and covered the bottom of a tall glass with the soda stream lemonade syrup, half the bottle of magnesium citrate, sugar, and the rest with water.  I somewhat enjoyed the taste and after drinking half the glass I gave birth to the plug.  Easy peasy!"


"I've been on it for a year and half and absolutely LOVE IT! I had no weight gain, my hormones seem stable, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I would recommend this to anyone who can't remember to take the pill or doesn't wanna do the shot. LOVE IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND."


"I feel like this is a miracle for me. I can't believe how well I'm functioning since having stopped daily heroin use. I started with my first dose of Zubsolv about 5 hours after my final use of heroin. I was feeling at least 3 of my usual withdrawal symptoms before I took the first dose. I was amazed by my 3rd day that I felt like I did prior to starting heroin. I felt great!"


"I take between 30-50 mg per day depending on how I feel. Usually 15mg or 20mg at a time. Doctors should really look at this medicine for bipolar as I am severely bipolar (with anxiety) and do not like addictive substances. Buspar is a wonder medicine for some! I'm getting my life back! I no longer rage and ruminate, and I can also sleep, and think more clearly :D most things do not work for me but this one did."


"Xanax has given me my life back. I suffer from severe anxiety a few times a year, for no reason. I've been given other Benzos that leave me feeling like a zombie. I can take a tiny amount (and I'm talking 1/2 0.25) of Xanax and it calms me down enough to enjoy life."


"This medication works great for anxiety if taken the correct way."

"The liquid tastes terrible, but is very effective."


"After being on Lexapro for 6 months I had lost all desire for sex and it felt like a chore that sometimes could not be completed. Did I mention I am male and my wife is amazing. Anyway, I felt missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures and the intimacy missing in my marriage was no longer tolerable. I spoke to my doctor and started Bupropion. After about 3 weeks I began having sexual desires that had been missing. Sexual focus returned to my whole body in a lose your breath- heart skip a beat- sort of way.  I may someday give up the Lexapro (20) but I am not sure I am ready and outside of the sexual side effect I have to give it credit for doing wonders for me."
