"I was on it for a year. I love to eat. (Never noticed increase in weight gain, always have had same body figure) I wasn't sexually active so can't vote on that effectiveness. I hear it's expensive but the State pays for mine. I'm considering to go back to it. Pros: clear skin (1-2 pimples a day before I start but that's it). No cramps (I've always suffered from bad ones) Energetic. No breast tenderness. Cons: On or week before; very emotional, I never got my period, which is why I decided to get off it. (Dr. said it was normal - I got my cycle a week after I got off the pill.) stated side effects were depression -I've had it, & this possibly increased it a bit. Possibly caused hypertension. Everyone is different. Give it at least 6 months."


"I left a review awhile back, but now I have to revise it. When I first started taking Buspar I was happy with it, but then it stopped working for me. I'm now on the max dosage of 60 mg. I take 30 mg in the morning & 30 mg in the evening, but it is not helping me at all. I still have very bad anxiety, panic attacks & paranoia. Since it isn't doing anything for me I will probably stop taking it."


"Hey, you. Girl reading plan b reviews for the past hour. I was just like you. I read these reviews about 15 times each and started googling about every possible question on how effective the morning after pill was. Me and my boyfriend were having  sex and the condom ripped. I freaked out because he had came inside me. I started shaking and telling him off because he didn't pull out when he felt the condom rip. He said he didn't feel it, but I didn't believe him. We rushed to the pharmacy about 30 minutes after we had unprotected sex and I took the pill. I was freaking out! Thinking about how I was gonna raise a kid. BUT I got my period one week early!:) believe me, It works!!!"


"I'm 23 and I was starting to suffer from terrible insomnia due to anxiety. I was getting so stressed I couldn't sleep and it affected my job, relationship and my whole life. I was a nervous wreck I would start crying out of nowhere and couldn't stop, I would have panic attacks with my chest tightening and my legs going numb. My blood pressure was 150/100 and I'm 23! I've had a history with anxiety but was always able to manage it somewhat with a couple panic attacks here or there. Got put on 20 mg of lexapro and it has worked fantastically. I have my life back. I'm not worrying about anything I use to and it has improved every aspect of my life. Give it a shot ignore the negative it took me 5 days to feel effects."


"I have Achilles tendonitis and this does not relieve the pain too much."


"Didn't work for me. Muscle aches, itch and most importantly it dropped my blood pressure too low along with the other medication I am taking..pressure was 87/54 ...normally I am 130/70. I was exhausted, tired, weak and constantly falling asleep. This medication was not for me. Called doctor he told me to stop taking it, and this was at 1/2 pill dosage."


"This patch is worlds above and beyond anything OTC. It's awesome and works wonderfully."


"I took this meds within 3 days I had extreme headache, left arm was numb, woke up to my body feeling hot. I started feeling spasm in my lower left bottom and leg. Pain in my left leg and flu like symptoms."


"Xarelto  caused weight gain , tingling, numbness and pain in arms as well as hands approximately 2 months after I began taking it. I'm not sure if this is permanent or not, stopped taking a week ago and still having these side effects. This was not a positive experience unsure until I see my Dr. if their is permanent damage."


"I am 24 with no children. On November 21, 2014 I had my Paragard removed and Nexplanon inserted the same day. The insertion wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and healed pretty quickly, about 1 week. I missed my first period and then they went back to normal, gradually getting shorter and lighter. My last period was 3 weeks long and now I am 1 week and 1 day late for my next. My symptoms didn't show up until recently: violent mood swings, headaches, nausea, dizziness, backache, acne on face & body. I have gained 10lbs. even though my diet and exercise haven't changed at all. I like it ok enough, but there is a good chance I'll have it removed before 3 years."


"I have been taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about 6 years -- then my insurance switched me to Tri-Spintec. Then a couple of months after that I was switched to Tri-Previfem by my insurance. My period last month was so light, I was thinking "yay!".. but I'm halfway through my pack this month and have started my period again. I'm going to guess it will continue into next week when I'm scheduled to have my period. I don't like this at all. Part of the reason I love birth control is I can be in control of my period and schedule things around its arrival (i.e., my wedding coming up). After reading these reviews, I'm going to talk to my pharmacist about going back to Ortho Tri Cyclen. Thanks for the reviews ladies."


"No help at all"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This isn't as bad as what some others have described it to be. The medicine tastes like diluted cough syrup and doesn't taste very awful. You have to drink a lot of water within the next hour so that made me a bit nauseous. I made sure to take it slow for my second bottle. Each suprep drink made me stay in the toilet for about 3 hours. So get your movie(s) ready. Use wet toilet sheets and wipe prep H / diaper rash cream to keep your butt from getting sore."


"Read through the reviews about the bad taste, and was pleasantly surprised when I had to drink the solution.  I mixed it with cold bottled water.  It's consistency was slightly thicker than water, and the mix had a cherry taste.  Much like a  cough medicine. I heard horror stories from people that had a colonoscopy years ago about the prep.  This drink was nothing.  I started to drink it and just finished it.  No gagging.

I experienced some nausea, but it was minor. My only concern was I took the first dose at 6pm.  Had no reaction.  Took the second dose around 3 am.  It wasn't until 4, that it started to kick in.  I know a number of people said it started right away.  Mine didn't do anything until after the second dose."


"I have a very positive experience with Valium. I'm taking it 8 years now, only as needed. This medication allows my to relax and socialize.  But..."God over everything" is my motto."


"I was happy to find that there is a way out of my deep depression, however it was a state I do not want to be in ever again. The thought that there is a way out of my feelings if ever they should occur again, helps me a lot."


"I just finished my very first month of this. Going on it I was terrified that I was gonna gain weight. I'm 18, 5'3 and weigh 180. I have moderate acne and I haven't noticed it making me breakout anymore than my regular. Sometimes it helps. I will say I've been a bit moody but it's nothing out of my regular moodiness. I've read some reviews on here of people just slamming this birth control to the ground. You just have to control your eating a little bit.
Time to be a little honest.
I started this pill and the second week I was on it we started doing it without a condom. I'd say in the month span at less 15-20 times. He never finished inside me all but once (whoops) and aside from that I've been just fine. Never got pregnant. I'd recommend"


"I use Gabapentin 1200 mg since 2 weeks for my rapid cycling bipolar. Since one week I feel stable as I have never been for 10 years. It is early to say but it seems to be helpful. It is very difficult condition and difficult for treatment too. I was suffering a lot, but now I just enjoy to my life. I eat normal and also I am calmer. Also I use Depakote and Effexor, a little dose Wellbutrin and Seroquel. I have very mild mood changes now."


"Run far away from this pill! I was also switched from Orysthia (which did wonders for me) to Vienva without being notified. I figured also since it had the same active ingredients I would be fine wrong! The past week has been nothing but a nightmare! My moods have been so up and down! Feeling depressed I lashed out on one of my best friends for no reason! Please don't take this! I'm calling my pharmacy right now to see if I could get back on Orysthia!"


"Until about 5 years ago (when I turned 40), I very rarely had any problems with bowel movements.  Then I got a toe infection which required antibiotics to clear up.  It worked, but after that I started having problems with constipation.  I tried more bran and fiber.  It did not work.  I tried eating more fruit and vegetables.  It didnt work.  It was getting so bad that I started get hemorrhoids that bled bright red blood when I wiped.  It was scary.  I had to strain and strain just to get to the bathroom.  I tried prunes and prune juice, and when it did work, it gave me the runs and lots of gas and cramping.  I tried magnesium, and in order for it to work, I had to take so much that it gave me the runs unexpectedly.  Miralax worked for me."


"Librium was great for my alcohol detox. While it didn't completely get rid of my shakes  it did alleviate the nastier symptoms of my withdrawl. There was no nausea, minimal anxiety etc. Helps immensely with alcohol detox."


"Not really any complaints. I have some spotting and noticeably lighter periods (also less often). I don't usually cramp so I can't say much about that. And as far as mood swings go, I feel they are a pretty regular side effect to having a period. I don't blame nexplanon for weight gain as it is probably due to the simple fact that I don't workout regularly as much as I need to. Overall, I love it. You don't have to worry about it for 3 years and it's an excellent birth control option. I am on my 3rd one (7th year)"


"I've had one back surgery so far, a L5 S1 fusion which didn't work and I'm in alot of pain. I have tried many other pain medications, narcotic and non-narcotic to try to manage my pain, along with acupuncture and physical therapy. Finally my doctor gave me Opana (extended and immediate release) and I get such wonderful much needed pain relief from them. I still get some breakthrough pain but these work so much better than anything else I have tried, including oxycontin, and I'm so thrilled."


"I only got the chance to take this for a week.  After 3 days I noticed the substantial decrease in pain.  I noticed no adverse side effects.  It was great.

"


"I took this Birth Control for about 10 months and stopped when I saw I was developing viscose veins on my thighs. I was only 19 years old at the time! I was always a chronic  sufferer of serve headaches when I was in high school but I had a period of about two years without having headaches. As soon as I got on this pill I had severe headaches every single week! I also gained some weight."


"I was able to get my first bottle free, and the rest is covered by insurance with $35 out of pocket monthly. Yes, it is more on the pricey side, but having taken it for an entire month, I noticed a difference in less than a week. This stuff has been a miracle for me, and I finally have clear skin."


"Started on 10mg-increased to 20 then to 40. The blurry vision cleared up for the most part after a few months.  Latuda definitely makes me feel better. Not 100%... but better. Having to take with 350 calories is difficult, especially before bed  and the weight gain was pretty bad but then started taking calcium, magnesium, zinc and dropped the weight... weird... but it works. Just need to make sure the magnesium is maleate... others make me to tired."


"I had a UTI back in 2013 and took one dose of Cipro (250 MG) and within hours it started to clear up and by the following day the UTI was gone. I now have another UTI. I took 1 dose again of the 250 MG pill and after about 7-8 hours, I felt about 60% better. I just now took a 2nd dose. Hopefully this will completely clear it up. I haven't noticed any side effects other than a minor headache. But like I said, I have only take 2 doses at the max."


"I have been on Paxil now for about 10 years. My dosage was 20 milligrams for a long time. Within the last two months I was feeling emotionless. I finally went to my doctor today and described my feelings to her. She changed my dosage to 40 milligrams. I feel better already! If it wasn't for Paxil I would be a basket case like I was before I went on it. I no longer have panic attacks and very little anxiety now. For those who are having a bad experience with Paxil...don't give up. You may need a different dosage or an entirely different antidepressant. Mental fragility is nothing to take lightly. Keep asking for help until you get it. Good luck to all of you."


"I took this medication two years ago, I was on it for six months, I didn't drop weight but I did loose inches. I was wearing a size 26 in plus size and went down to a 22. I just started taking this again two days ago, my current weight is 295, I am 5'5, female, and currently wearing a size 22 plus size. I am drinking premier protien shakes once a day for extra protien and meal replacement since I work over nights. I eat breakfast, have my shake for lunch, and eat a small amount for dinner but keeping my calorie intake between 900-1200 calories a day, I have replaced sweet tea with flavored bottled water, and I'm counting my steps for exercise. I am hoping to get down to a size 18 within 3 months. Wish me luck."


"I have been to many Doctors and with many tests to find out nothing. Tried many types of medicines the only thing that works for me is Paregoric. I don't need much only two spoons a day and it let's me work. Without it I can be in the bathroom up to 16 times a day. Before my Dr. put me on this I had lost 30 lbs. I am not looking forward to the day when I run out."


"I have been on Yaz for about 4 months now. I started taking it to regulate my periods, as they were very heavy and irregular. Yaz helped 100% with that issue. Now I know when my period will arrive and it only lasts about 4 days. Yaz has also cleared up my acne. Before taking it I had fairly severe acne (for a 36 year old) and since taking Yaz I don't have severe breakouts, just one or two pimples here and there. If I had to list my negative experiences since taking Yaz it would be my irritability. Small things annoy me...like my husband chewing his cereal. It's not bad enough that I go into a rage or anything, but it can be annoying. Also, the outside edges of my breasts are sore. Feels like when I was nursing! So far, a positive experience"


"Mucinex D works, but do not take the medicine at night. I cannot get to sleep for nothing, and the heart palpitations are really bothering me."


"This medicine does get rid of my migraines, but I have to deal with feeling worse before I feel better,  There also are times when it takes 2-3 hours to kick in, though the usual is about an hour.  For me that's a very long time when you have a migraine getting worse."


"I suffered from excessive sweating since I was about 12 years old. I'll never forget it. It was WINTER and I took off my coat and saw sweat under my arms through my sweater. This continued for YEARS. It was embarrassing. Being nervous definitely increased this issue. When I reached about 20 years old, I was using paper towels under my shirts, attached to my bras. Summer time was dreaded. I was miserable. I owned tons of black shirts. In the summer I'd walk one block and my armpits would be drenched. Now, to be perfectly honest, I am a beautiful woman. Mixed race, slim, nice hair, light eyes... But no matter what, the sweating made me want to hide. Indoors. All the time. Just sitting still made me sweat. It was horrible."


"I started Victoza on 6/24 at .06 and the side effects were minimal.  Little bloated feeling; nausea but never vomited.  Then one week later increased to 1.2 then that's when the side effects got more intense; 'egg burps', diarrhea, gas, but no vomiting.  Not much of an appetite and glad to say I've lost 14 lbs and BG is 109 in a.m. and highest I've seen after eating 2 hr reading 140.  These are very good readings for me as I've never seen my a.m readings that low.  Last Dr visit my A1C read was 7.5   Just going to stick with this regime of Victoza and see what my A1C read will be come Sept ...wish you all the best if you chose this RX"


"Put me to sleep almost every night at first, however, never felt like I had a great nights sleep. Then after a few months it became less effective. Started waking at five o'clock and needing to take supplemental medicines to get some sleep. Am switching to something that might also help with anxiety too. (By the way, did not experience the foul taste thing at all.)"


"Hacking deep dry cough woke me up in the middle of the night for days until I started the Prednisone taper yesterday.  Last night I woke once with a light cough, but easily went back to sleep.  I am taking  10 mg pills, 5 a day for 2 days, then 4 a day for 2 days, then 3 a day for 2 days, then 2 a day for 2 days, then 1 a day for 2 days."


"The first 2 months were horrendous if anything i think my symptoms were worse. However after that period I gradually got better and feel the best I have ever felt. Many who score this drug low usually do in the first few months. If you can stick with it do as it has changed my life."


"I have been on these pills since May 2017 and I haven't had side effects but I would tell you to take them on time every day because you will have break through bleeding and it can last from a few days to a few weeks but one this that I can say it that I have lost weight and I don't have crazy cravings, no tender breast, and no headaches ... this has been my first time on BC and I have had a great experience!!!!!"


"I started Adipex on July 12 - one pill every morning. My start weight was 221, I'm already 212lbs. Today is July 21, 9 pounds already. A little itchy but no other problems, a little dry mouth but water helps. Drink a gallon of water a day and park the car, sometimes walking is the best workout. I love it. 50 pounds to go. I'm not hungry."


"I received the implant around March 2016. The first few months my periods lasted 10 or more days. Each period was between light to moderate flow. After about 4 months it began to even out to 6 days each period. Before the implant I have had cramps and sever back pain with each delightful time of the month, before I had no problems with my cycle but now it is unpredictable. The implant hasn't improved the cramps and back pain but overall the effects of the implant is better than being pregnant. I am sexually active with one partner and with the implant I don't have to worry about getting pregnant."


"I am stopping this medication because of the side effects. I am too weak to walk farther than about 20 feet without stopping--bent over and holding on to something. I cannot function this way. I The pain in my upper abdomen is awful. Also, I experienced nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, tightness around the chest and severe fatigue. I loved not having to get up at night, but the near diarrhea caused other problems. I sleep almost 10 hours per night and take frequent naps. I have been told I am pale and walk like a drunken sailor. I am stopping this medication because of the side effects."


"I see a lot of bad comments about this birth control and have no idea why. This is because I have been on this pill for 2 years and I love it. It made my boobs a whole cup size bigger and I did not gain any weight. I have also noticed I have no more mood swings and barely have a period. It is very good and I recommend it - also it is cheap."


"I was diagnosed with RA in 1998 and have been on most of the drugs available.  Enbrel worked great for 6 years then it just stopped.  Since then nothing has worked .   I had my first infusion of Rituxan 3 weeks ago and we had to stop infusion due to itching in ears and throat, pushed more steroids and waited about an hour before restarting with slower and diluted drip.  Had 2nd infusion last week with no reaction during Infusion  I take methotrexate by injection as well and have noticed no new side effects.  Just fatigued for a 4/5 days after infusions and always the day after methotrexate.  Dr said to give it 3 to 6 months to begin working. So I will wait with lots of hope!"


"I am an adult male in my 40s. I was very distracted, anxious and sexually had a driven behavior, almost addicted to it. It made me had problems with my personal relationships, fortunately sports became a scape, but still it was a concern. I was diagnosed ADHD and received  Strattera for almost a year. It improved everything in my life but I always had a headache specially in the afternoon. My psychiatrist recommended Wellbutrin 150 once a day and then twice a day. It worked with me, I am not as focused as with Strattera but happier with no headaches . I take the first dose at 7.00 am and the second at 3.00 pm. If I cannot take it before that time I prefer to miss that dose, otherwise I can't sleep at night.  "


"I've suffered from bipolar and psychosis as early as 6th grade.  It took about 15 years to get seen, by that time I was completely detached from reality. After trying expensive placebos with bad side effects and high hype, I tried Seroquel.  It works on the psychosis, mania and depression I've experienced in trade for being a little sleepy.  Seroquel is so far the only medication that works by itself & which I can function even after missing a dose (not recommended).  It's all about risk versus controlling symptoms with these medications.  If you've found something effective for treating the symptoms, the next step is finding the cause.  This illness is like a sleeping dragon, you must keep it asleep or you'll get burned, Seroquel helps."


"I have been using the generic lidocaine patches  for years, with great results. My pharmacy, which I have to use because of my insurance, switched to generic patches from Mylan. These new patches are HORRIBLE!!! They are stiff and do NOT stick at all! I am stuck with a 6 month supply of patches that DON'T work. I've spent over an hour with various people at the pharmacy! And they all say it's not their problem. Great. Just great."


"I had extensive AKs for the past10  years on my forehead, scalp, temples, face and hands.  Regular liquid nitrogen treatments removed those which were visible.  They would return and other unseen AKs would appear.  I wanted more effective treatment so I did almost 3 weeks of heavy applications of fluororacil 5%, 2x/day.  The burning, blistering, cracking, stinging and swelling is most impressive.  After nearly 3 weeks, my derm said I was done and it would take 2 weeks to improve alot, and 4 to be all better.  He was right.  My skin is great now, looks good and no AKs!  It's miserable getting there but less cancer risk - why wouldn't you do it?"


"Stopped the cough, but really "wired" me.  Could not sleep, so hydrocodone for stopping the cough was useless for helping me to sleep--- which was the purpose for the med for me.  Also, mouth so dry, felt like cotton balls were in my mouth.  Only took one dose of this med!  Using 2 Benadryl and one Tessalon Perle helped better."


"I received my first dose of Depo in Feb 2016. For ELEVEN months, I had nonstop bleeding. Every. Single. Day. I continued to get the shot every 3 months with the hope it would eventually stop, since I had no other side effects. Didn't affect my weight at all, no mood swings, no acne changes, no change in sex drive, etc. I went against my OBGYN's advice to take estrogen pills to stop the bleeding, as I wanted to see if my body would adjust naturally and I had noticed that the bleeding was slowly subsiding month by month. Sure enough, after my fourth dose of the shot (Jan 2017), my period completely stopped. Now, March 2017, I have had no spotting. If you can deal with a possible year long period, the end results are worth it."


"Afton works very well, however the last 3 or 4 bottles of the spray the I purchased over a year started smelling like mildew after a month or so. What is causing this? The expiration date on the container is 2 years away."


"I just started about two weeks ago. I completely see a difference in myself for the better. My children are even noticing the difference in my reactions to basic things. I won't say I don't feel anything..but this is a period in my life...feeling nothing is what I need. I am able react  to situations with logic. Instead of being on the emotional roller coaster all the time! I was suicidal two weeks ago. I took my kids zip-lining yesterday. I needed this. I'll deal with the withdraws later..this medication saved my life. I work out 4days a week so no energy loss. I don't feel a change in my appetite yet. I did have headaches yesterday briefly. dreams.. falling dream a few times. No weight gain so far. Sex. I don't have a desire yet."


"Many failed attempts on depression meds and lapsed into severe depression, suicidal thoughts, head to toe severe pain psychiatrist put me on 120mg of Cymbalta a day. Boom the pain and depression were gone. Instant relief, it was a godsend but I very quickly realized that the depression was not actually gone. It had shifted it into my anger/frustration emotion controllers, which for the most part I could deal with but after a few years the side effects add up. I have the horrible next few months of coming off this drug but need to as I now have insomnia, chaotic dreams, extreme lethargy and suicidal thoughts which you don't feel like acting on but still have. It does work but it is not a long term solution and I should have changed yrs ago."


"I felt like someone hit me in the back one day, it throbbed and felt swollen. It bothered me for a few hours. Two weeks later I couldn't pee and it hurt so bad I went to ER. They did cat scan to find a 6mm kidney stone in my ureter.  They started me on Flomax. I followed up with my doctor and 2 weeks later I passed it with no pain except a little pain when I peed.   I don't know if it were the Flomax or chanca piedra that I bought did it  But it was painless and I was so worried.   Now I will take it to my doctor to be analyzed."


"I started using Xanax XR about 2 yrs ago and it has been a life saver for me. I was suffering from really bad anxiety that would bring on bad panic attacks that sent me to the ER twice. My doctor started me out at 1mg once a day then she decreased it to 0.5mg about a yer ago and that's what I've been taking. I hated the way I felt for a day or two when I was brought down to 0.5mg's so that has made me too scared to even try to start weaning off of it. I can function perfectly well on this medication. "


"I'm currently 16, I started to get acne around 4th grade when I first endured puberty.  it started out as blackheads around my nose but now i have white&blackheads on my chin, cheeks(biggest problem area) and jaw. It got really bad my sophomore year. (I'm a junior) but it wasn't cystic. It was somewhere between grade 1-2 acne.  I started epiduo roughly two weeks ago.  My first week, my skin cleared up! Not completely but I did notice improvement. I apply it every night after washing my face, showering. Sadly, my skin and neck are irritated, ITCHY, red and burning even with the small amount I put on. My acne has become worse. I'm hoping it will pull through. I got it for $45 (insurance didn't cover) by printing out a coupon on epiduo.com!!"


"Does the job but comes with major stomach cramps, nausea and no sleep. Be prepared!"


"I noticed a great improvement in my depression soon after introducing Brintellix to my other meds (latuda, Lamictal, xanax, doxepin, adderall) I also noticed it causes me nausea and vomiting! But I really like this one...hate that it makes me sick! Someone recommended putting it in peanut butter and I think I'll try that because it works really well for me! I've taken my son out like everyday, I couldn't be a "good" mom before brintellix! Like seriously have never felt better! Vomiting sucks tho, I hate it... really hope peanut butter trick works!"


"I have a hip injury.  I was given a high dose of hip cortisone injection.  The next day I was pain free through out my body!

I forgot what it felt like to be human.

The systemic symptoms slowly returned after about 3-4 wks.

I saw a RA doc who R/O RA.  Now am waiting to see  fibromyalgia doctor but I am hoping to get a mediation I can take permenateoy to get this same relief.

Been dealing with this horrible pain since Jan 2016.  Which a great deal stress had been thrown on me.

Help!!"


"I feel the Abilify working on my depression. I am singing and happier then I have been in a while. I was taking Invega before and that did not help me at all. I am diagnosed with Bipolar 1. This medicine has lessened my mania but has not vanished it completely. I do not see any side effects with this medicine!"


"Was in last timister with my third child. Baby was breach and  head pushed up on my stomach. Constant severe heartburn and acid reflux. Tried ALL know medication available. Finally I WAS BLESSED with dexilant. Terrible syptoms went away rapidly. I recommend this to anyone who will listen"


"i find klonopin very usefull.it helps me feel less anxious then any med ive ever been on.i recommend it highly.only one thing of it bothers me and its the drowsiness."


"It worked with taking another overactive bladder medicine.  But eventually I experienced severe fatigue, blurred vision, weight gain and mostly it caused me intimacy problems.  I discontinued it, got it all back."


"I had to take 75mg of it, but it did work!"


"I love Adderall.  I'm 38 years old and a very accomplished and successful person.  I started taking Adderall this year and it has done wonders for my productivity.  It makes me sad that I hadn't discovered it earlier in my life.  To think what I could have accomplished.  Like a lot of people I start 10 things and finish none.  Adderall helps me stay on task.  It's like responsibility in a pill."


"I was on Yaz for about 2 years and loved it except for the severe drop in sex drive.  Other than that I had no complaints on it."


"I have taken this medication for a few years and I prefer this shape because it's easier to break. My Pharmacy just switched me to the round pills which I was unhappy about because I can't break those ones as easily and I have yet to find a good pill cutter. I wish they would all be in this shape when pills need to be broken."


"I used to take regular Tylenol two at a time, when I needed I  got up to taking 3 to 4 times a day. I switched to taking the 8 hour version and it really works fairly well. It is OTC medicine and reasonable price and it works."


"I've been on this drug since 2003.  Before meds, I was so sick with RA symptoms.  Spent 19 hours a day in bed, couldn't dress or bath myself.  Seldom ate.  Doctor put me on 200 mg. plaquenil twice daily  and 10 mg. prednisone and I got my life back.  I've since drop prednisone and am down to 200 mg. once daily plaquenil.  About to go on the generic form of plaquenil.   A little concerned.  Is the quality the same?  My specialist said no.  RA drugs are so scary.  I've had friends die on biologics--and some go blind.  My advice as geezergirl.  When you find out what works for you, hold on tight to it."


"I knew about this med from the veterinarian clinic that I work at. We have to tell the dogs owners to make sure that the dogs eat Before taking this med to ensure there's no nausea. So when I developed a UTI I was prescribed this for 5 days. Since I'm on heavy doses of anti-inflammatories, I was almost symptom-free. Remembered that I had symptoms 2 mon prior & that my kidneys were having serious problems, which vastly improved once I started taking the SMZTMP. I'm probably the only 1 on the planet that actually feels good on the days that I took SMZTMP.  Since 5 days was not enough to treat the kidney infection I took 5 more days approx.1 week later. Again felt great those 5 days. Makes no sense whatsoever!"


"Was on Enbrel for about 6 months and it stopped working for me. Humira and a combination of oral drugs had me pain free in a few days.  However, it does not feel like it last a full 2 weeks, after day 10 I start with minor pain working up to about a 5 or 6 then back down from there."


"In 1981 I had severe heel pain and was living in Germany.  I was prescribed a topical gel called Rheumone gel. It worked great. I had occasion to use it several times while we lived there. When I got back to the States, no luck in finding it. Then, about 6 months ago my daughter was prescribed Voltaren Gel. Hurrah! It is made in Germany by the same company as the Rheumone gel. It smells the same and works the same.  My doctor has prescribed it to me for the arthritis and pain. It does a wonderful job."


"I have been taking Trulicity for about 3 1/2 months.  Still with side effects.  I have smelly breath and  I feel like no one wants to get close to me.  I have bouts of dizziness when I get up at times.   I have terrible indigestion at times.  My blood sugars are good.  Can't eat much at a time.  Haven't lost much weight.  Now I have started having a lot of joint pain that I never had before.  I don't know if the side effects are worth it."


"After extreme weight gain on SSRIs, I thought buspar would be my miracle drug. I was totally wrong. After day two I had such bad twitches/tremors and my jaw seemed to locked for short periods of time. Went to emergency due to the side effects causing panic attacks."


"I'm on my second week of Aviane and my skin is breaking out sooooo bad, all over my face. I've had problems with acne before but it seems like it's pretty bad this time. people say that you break out badly during the first pack but then during the second one your skin clears. so let's hope that's true. I haven't experienced any other side affects, except breast tenderness and mild abdominal cramps. I'll probably post an update on my acne in a month or two. :)"


"I don't normally review products I've used, but I made sure to share my experience with Mirvaso. I am 20 and have had extreme redness for about 12 years now. I finally went to the dermatologist who then recommended mirvaso. I used it for about four days. The first day seemed to take away the redness completely. Thrilled, I continued use and it went downhill quickly. After the 6-8 hours of clear skin was up, it flared up way worse than it was before. I stopped using it but still see splotches of intense red all over. DO NOT USE. Waste of time."


"I started nexplanon Feb 2nd 2016 the first 2 weeks were great but I got really depressed and had some horrible mood swings I gained 6 pounds but shed that off. I spotted for about a week and now I think I just got my period. My skin has always been very clear but now I have a couple bumps here and there. Hope it's all worth it. I think this is the way to go especially if you can't remember  to take the pill but I suggest you read reviews first everyone is different. Good luck to whoever tries it !!"


"I had to stop taking Januvia because I had severe stomach bloating."


"I have been taking Pristiq since June 2009- almost 9 months.  I don't think I really had a clue at how depressed and anxious I was until I started on these medicines.  I remember going out on a boat and water skiing with no hesitations like the good old days! It was a beautiful thing! I was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease and it literally consumed me from for two years. I would break down in doctors offices regularly, and started having panic attacks in the middle of the night and then finally during the day.   My side effects are on and off night sweats, and if I miss a pill I would have nausea and light-headedness, but otherwise sex is good!  It seems to work! Had weight loss = 5 lbs."


"I am a long term dialysis patient  (12 years) and recently began vomiting every run...i had tried gravol many times and had no relief  whatsoever and they decided  to try odansetron and it works  immediately. Even before the medicine finishes running (15 minutes) i am fine till the end of the run which  is 4 hours ."


"My doctor gave me a coupon for the first month free then after that my co pay was $30 through my insurance. The medicine does not work consistently some days I don't have a bowel movement while other days I have severe diarrhea but it beats being chronically constipated. I take the medicine at night and usually next day in afternoon or evening have bowel movement. It took a few days for it to kick in. Then stopped taking it due to diarrhea then got constipated again. I take it consistently now."


"Battled a 6 year prescription opiate addiction, with a good 5 years in and out of withdrawals trying to get clean, never working and landing myself in hospital twice, once for a week and lucky to be alive. Tried a suboxone program but wanted to be properly free from the opiate bindings and feel again. Since being on Naltrexone I have not thought, cared, desired any opiate. Totally free from my mind and able to get on with my life, feeling, and feeling great. As an added bonus my in and out battle with alcohol has gone the exact same way, also dropping other destructive impulsive behaviour. Just dont care about it. First week I had brutal lethargy but  after dealing with years of withdrawals it was cake, no side effects since then.Life saver"


"Went on holiday early November and came back with full blown acne on my forehead and cheeks . Tried literally everything and anything I could find and nothing worked. The GP then prescribed epiduo and I was really sceptical as I read reviews of people getting worse before better and all that. I used it twice a day beginning from a Wednesday and by Sunday, I began to see results. By Monday I couldn't believe it, 90% of my spots had gone but the only thing was that I used too much which burned my skin a bit but this is healing. I've been on epiduo exactly 8 days and my acne is gone. Yes I said it gone !!! I was told to give this product 3 months minimum and it's done the job in a week. I highly recommend you try epiduo!!"


"It lessened the frequency of my migraines. But the side effects are not worth the relief it provided. It turned me into a zombie. I didn't care about anything. I couldn't even taste my food! And the worst part was it robbed me of my ability to be alarmed by the growing severity of my depression and other serious symptoms. After three months, I was GLAD to detox. 4 days clean and I can almost taste sugar again. Can't wait til the brain fog lifts."


"Zoloft saved my life and my marriage. I am so grateful to the doctor who put me on this 9 weeks ago. A few side effects at start up but that went away in a matter of days and it has been smooth sailing since. Tons of energy, up early, great sleep, and I'm not binge eating. I've even lost 8.5 lbs. I was skeptical at first and hated the fact that I needed medication for anxiety and depression, but I'm really glad I gave it a shot. For now, I will continue on this medication."


"I had to have my gall bladder removed in Dec. 2012 after two months of nausea and vomiting, pain and weight loss.  Like one of the other reviewers said, I too became chronically ill again about a month after surgery and could barely eat and started dropping weight again.  I also had chronic nausea and diarrhea.  My doctor put me on Librax and it has changed my life.  Within 48 hours after I started taking the medicine all of my symptoms disappeared and I started having real hunger pangs again and have been able to eat. Still can't eat whatever I want and have to monitor my fat intake. I only take the medicine at dinner time and occasionally I need one during the day. It has worked wonders at helping my body recover from the surgery."


"I lost 10 pounds after using Victoza and injecting it into my stomach.  But now I gained it back and it doesn't seem to be working.  Help!"


"It been taking bydureon for about 4 months. I absolutely love this medicine. After taking metformin for 2 years I requested the switch. So many side effects for me w metformin. The only side effect I notice w bydureon is nausea. In the beginning it was more pronounced but now I just notice it from time to time and it subsides rather quickly. My blood sugars are so much more in control. I have also lost 15 pounds and looking forward to losing more! So glad I switched to this medicine!!"


"First time ever with this (I'm only 18) and my mom told try this it works just great. I'm on the 3 day fix and I'm currently on night 3 and I'm still dieing. I'm torn between 100 mosquito bites and rubbing poision all around my area. I haven't gotten burning but my itching is so bad that I have cried multiple times. Anybody know a good substitute for this medicine or after all the hell did it work?"


"I have been on the Depo shot for 21 years.  I have always loved this type of birth control.  First year, period was unpredictable.  But ever since, wonderful not having one.  About ten years ago, I read in a magazine about the Depo causing problems with bones, while sitting in doctors office to get my shot.  I asked the nurse about it and she advised me to get a bone density test, which I did.  The doctor called me when he got the results and asked why I would take such a test and was not happy that I did.  So I keep it with my records and kind of forgot about it.  Went in this month to get my shot and the doctor informed me that this would be the last shot he gives me, that he is going to refuse any future shot. Not Happy! Loved Shot!"


"For the past five years I have been treated for everything except an allergy. I was hacking my brains out from October through to May. My doctor said I had GERD, I took Prilosec OTC. Nothing happened. Well, my husband went overseas and brought me back a package of cetirizine. I was desparate so I took one pill and a second.  My coughing stopped. I am in Heaven. Looked it up on the internet and low and behold it's ZYRTEC. I am grateful beyond belief and to top it off no side effects as of yet and it's been two weeks.  First time during the winter I am cough free in years."


"I have had RLS for about 25 years. I started out with miripex, 4 mg. Then it quit working. So I began requip. I started  out with 2 mg. now I take 1 mg in the am, 1 mg in the afternoon and 2 mg at night. I have 1 more mg available if I need it. But it works. The only problem I have is when I forget to take my afternoon dose. It has made my life much better!"


"Very horrible experience on this medication that I took years a go. Side effects were not pleasant."


"Implanon is very effective! This will be my 3rd year having it. Worst part is the irregular bleeding, sometimes I'll go 3 months no period & then the next 2 months I bleed a bit every other week.. And I would say my normal PMS is a bit worse & my breast are awfully sore but its bound to have some side effects. None of them are long-term issues but very unpredictable."


"After suffering for years with untreated PTSD the symptoms kept getting worse. Finally talked with my Dr. about it. Started me on Paxil 20 mg for a couple of months and then increased to 30 mg. I am not "cured", but my anxiety has drastically decreased. I feel almost normal. Paxil has been a God send for me."


"I hate this vile tasting substance more than anything. And the flavored ones do not help the taste. However, it works every single time with out any cramping. I have tried every laxative out there and this is the only one 100% reliable and 100% cramp free. It also comes in a concentrated form and so, less is consumed for the same results. It comes in tablet form but is not as reliable. I wish that there could be a better way to get the gentle, reliable relief that Milk of Magnesia gives."


"I have use Champix before and stopped smoking for 2 years.I stupidly started and have gone back on them.I have tried lots of different nicotine replacement methods and this is the only one that work.Those of you with little will power (like me)??This is for you.I do suffer side effects but can manage them as the alternative is smoking! Side effects include stomach pains and sickness.To solve this take the tablet after a decent meal and lower dose (I can manage on the .5mg).Hard to sleep and nightmares - no solution but better than waking up coughing up phelgm every morning. At times still get the urge to have a cigarette but experience of this is a big mistake as they taste awful and as soon as you light up, you will put it out. Keep busy"


"I build tolerance to any medication really quickly, so I will be able to use 10 mg of regular Ambien for maybe a month, then my doctor would up it to 20mg for the next month, and following that he would give me Ambien CR for the 3rd month, and then basically start all over again. I have tried nearly every single other sleep aid available by prescription and non prescription and Ambien has been the only one which works for me. "


"My thyroid was removed in September 1993 due to Papillary Carcinoma.  After removal and treatment, I was put on generic synthroid and could not get my levels regulated.  After a time, I was put on brand name Synthroid and levelled out.  I am unable to take the generic."


"This worked better than any drug prescribed to me for sleep. I love it."


"I was given this in IV before surgey. I immediately became anxious and could not sit still . The PA said "oh yes this happens sometimes". They had to give me Benadryl to calm me down. It was the worst experience I have had -out of control and jumpy. "


"Unlike most people who post on here beware my experience with this drug has been horrific. After taking as directed by manufacturer, one hour before first meal, I almost instantly become deathly ill. Cramping and spasms so severe I can hardly breath and feel like I am going into shock. This last for two hours. I couldn't call 911 if I tried. I can't move I'm so sick. After the episode I can barely walk I'm so weak. My chest hurts terribly for hours afterward. I've been so desperate to have a bowel movement that I have tried this drug several times with same result. Never again! I do eventually have severe diarrhea toward the end of the episode. This drug is not for me."


"I started Xeljanz 1-1/2 years ago, after all the years from 2008, having pain and stiffness and some relief.  This Xeljanz so far has been a miracle to me.  I'm down to 2-1/2 mg. of Prednisone, which I hope to be able to completely be off it, except for flare-up times and needing a tapering of it.  I still have chronic pain every day, but don't we all?  There's so much less of it though, that life is of more quality.  I'm doing more.  My right wrist is deformed and so eroded, that I can't bend that much at all, so I just try to avoid moving it so much. It doesn't hurt any more with it being idle!!  My feet are the very worst though. I try to limit my walking, but it's hard.  I'm 57 and appreciate this drug very much!!"


"I just got my Implanon inserted yesterday. The insertion was a breeze; only felt a pinch for the lidocaine which is used to numb the area then it was over before I knew it. So far so good I will keep everyone updated."


"I have had some kind of mild IBS for 40 years as well as diverticulitis.  Over the past several years my symptoms of IBS-D got to the point that I was having an average of 4 loose bm's a day and often more accompanied by bloating, explosive gas and urgency.   Tried the wellness doctor/nutrition route for a year with minimal results.  Finally found a Doctor willing to prescribe some medicine, and after a few trials and error, Voila!, we tried a combination of Librax and trazadone and I had immediate and dramatic relief!  The underlying problem is still there and I still have multiple bm's, but I can at least control the urge and go for hours without having to run to a bathroom.  For me, it's been a minor miracle!"


"I've been on Zoloft for about a year.  Sure, my sex drive has decreased and my weight has increased, but I no longer feel like I'm falling apart at the seams, and I'm genuinely happy.  My doctor tried to increase my dose once, and I was so perky that I couldn't concentrate at work!  50mg is plenty for me!"


"I took Lybrel or the generic equivalent Amethyst for many years.  In the first years I found it worked very well for me and I loved it. I never had a period!  Then I needed to take NSAIDs regularly for osteoarthritis which caused constant break through bleeding along with Endometriosis symptoms.  Whenever I discontinued use of the Lybrel to keep my lining from becoming so thin, my periods were dibilitating and extremely heavy.  Just started on Reclipsen with hopes of better results. I recommend this pill for anyone who does not regularly take any meds that can cause blood thinning."


"I have been on Contrave since Tuesday, 9/1/15 and I've lost 2.6 pounds so far - not bad for only taking it for 4 days. I will say that I did experience very mild nausea the first day, but had some Cheerios as someone else mentioned and it helped. I also have had diarrhea/loose stools every day - my boyfriend says that's why I'm losing, which is probably true. I am not too concerned about it because I had been told years ago that I have irritable bowel and I do occasionally have this issue. My starting weight was 236.6 and today I weighed in at 234.0. I will report more in the coming weeks."


"I have been on Saxenda for 5 weeks now . I have lost 15 pounds. I take my injections at 7pm every night. I wanted to avoid the side effects by taking it at night. The nausea has been really bad for the past week, since I have been on 3mg. Zofran has helped. I find I do have to take a Laxative to aid with the constipation. I'm happy it is working . A long journey ahead."


"I've been taking Apri for 7 months now and have gained about 8 pounds. I have lost my sex drive, and when my period starts I get horrible cramps. However, I do always know when my period will come and it only lasts for a couple days. This has been the most predictable pill I have taken."


"I have been on Yaz almost a month. The reason why I picked, and like this medication is because it doesn't give me mood swings, which every other birth control always causes. My complaints are that I have seen random acne pop up here and there on my face, and a little breakthrough bleeding. I also have cravings, and get super nauseous at the thought of certain foods. I am definitely a picky eater now, and would prefer not to eat, than eat something that turns my stomach (which seems to be a lot of things lately) my breasts are more "perky", and all my milk from my son has dried up fairly quickly. I do get dizzy, it's happened twice only. I also feel a little spacey, but it's getting better. Not sure about weight gain, if any."


"I have been on Sotalol for 14 months and I have not had a relapse of atrial fibrillation. I have had no side effects. I am taking 240 mg per day (120mg twice a day)."


"I took this medicine for 3 days and experienced severe nausea. Been off of it for 1 and I'm still experiencing it off and on. It feels horrible. I will never take this medicine again. I must be allergic to it."


"I have been taking Tramadol (50mg) for several years.  It was prescriped by my PCP for moderately severe osteoarthritis. Am unable to tolerate NSAIDs.  I also have Norco (10/325 hyrocodone/acetamphine) as a back up.  I experience chronic low level pain which I deal with through exercise and acupuncture and use Tramadol if it worsens - so I do not take daily and have never experienced any withdrawal symptoms as some people have mentioned.  For what I use it for, it works fairly well and I have no side effects.  But the notion that it is not addictive is false and as of August 2014 has been re-classed as a Schedule IV. In terms of acute pain, I do not find it nearly as effective as Norco but I only need that 1x or 2x a month."


"Was given this medicine after bunion surgery and not told what the effects might be. got very tired, nauseated and very dry mouthed immediately was also given nausea medicine with this.  Went into respiratory arrest and cardio arrest at the same time.  Thank god I was revived.  I was clinically dead. This stuff is terrible"


"I am 17, and I started taking Loestrin on day one of my period as instructed. I had my period for nearly 2 weeks on the active pills (normally they didn't last more than 4 days). I didn't have a period at the end of that cycle, but I attributed it to the bleeding in the beginning. In the middle of my second cycle I experienced severe nausea, anxiety, bloating, and breast enlargement. I then started worrying about the missed period because the symptoms corresponded to pregnancy. Although I had not missed any pills and had also used a condom, I felt paranoid about pregnancy. Having had mild anxiety problems before, Loestrin has amplified them. I do not recommend Loestrin to anybody with anxiety issues."


"I started with this drug on Tuesday, not too bad when taken at bedtime, however, I wanted my injection time to be first thing in the morning as this is much easier for me time-wise. Today was the second injection- oh my heavens can we say morning sickness?! That is exactly what it feels like, I have virtually no appetite, I tried to eat a little something ( I had been on Dr's orders to fast for blood-work) so let me tell you how that went- it didn't, I could not get past the taste of food in my mouth, I was physically ill. I stopped at SBUX and bought a hot tea- oh heaven! I was able to soothe my stomach and feel a little bit better, I have to muster through work regardless of how I feel.
I am hoping for results- not a miracle. Here we go!"


"I am 27, no children,  was on hbc for 10 years.  I've had Paragard for one week and I could not be more pleased so far.  Insertion was unbearably painful,  but I went to Planned Parenthood and they give you nothing for pain or to open your cervix,  nor did they feel the need to schedule the insertion during my period.  I had a panic attack from the pain and my doctor couldn't care less.  Glad I had my husband with me!! Anyway though,  the paragard itself is amazing.  After the initial pain subsided I spent the night with a heating pad and Ibruprofen. I had cramps for the next couple days then it stopped.  I got my period 3 days after insertion, no cramps,  not heavier than normal and it was over in 3 days.  I wish I had found this sooner!"


"Made me feel like I had flu like symptoms."


"Started 15-day free trial July 1, 2014 weighing 263. Got first full-month Belviq prescription July 15 and had first post-medicine weigh-in on August 14, weighing 247. So I lost about 2.5 pounds a week for a total of 16 pounds. Enjoying feeling like a "normal" person who can have ice cream in the freezer and not think about eating it constantly. Since I've lost 5% of my initial weight, I'm a "responder" and should qualify to continue taking Belviq beyond 90 days."


"I have had chronic pain for 12 years, have regular steriod injections in my spine and botox in the large spinal muscles.  I take pregablin 3 times a day and baclofen at night.  I used to use diazepam quite regularly for muscle spams before getting these drugs, recently missed a few pregablin and needed my diazepam.  You still feel the pain of the spasm, but the drug makes you less tense, so you don't excerbate the problem.  It enables me to start moving around gently and get back to normal quicker."


"Estrace was prescribed for urinary urgency and has worked very well indeed."


"I was put in this for labyrinthitis which was making me super anxious as I was so disorientated and nauseous. It helped with all those things, didn't realise how much til I forgot a pill and felt super anxious and awful. Staying on it til further notice!!!"


"I've had back pain for years. Then I started getting really bad pain in my knee and found out I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis and I'm only 28 yrs old. I have been on Lortab 10/500 for 6 yrs. Then started going to a pain specialist and I'm now on Tramadol ER 300mg 1x a day and Norco 10/325 4-6x a day and it works miracles. I also take the muscle relaxer, Flexeril and it helps very well too. I still have pain but I always will for the rest of my life because of my arthritis. But these medicines makes life much better."


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"Along with Phenergan, it is the only thing that helps with the migraines I get (about twice a month now). The Phenergan cream (a compound made by a pharmacy in my area) keeps the medication down by helping stop or control the vomiting I get with migraines."


"I used to have panic and anxiety very bad, for many years I self medictaed with illegal drugs. Finally, at 29 yrs old I wearily went to a doctor who gave me klonopin and an anti-depressant. In one hour I gradually felt all the panic go away, anxiety was gone. I really smiled for the first time, the world was great. I was contemplating suicide a day before I was prescribed klonopin, this drug saved my life. I continue to take it 1mg twice a day with lexapro 20mg. My life is good and I am happy, but now my mental health doctor reads that benzo medication "may" lead to dementia,etc. So now she wants me to stop taking it, she says she does not want her name on anything linked to her prescribing benzos. Now I must detox? Find another Doctor!!"

"I've been on this pill for about 4 months and since the first month I started getting cystic acne. I've never had acne in my life and I feel no longer confident with my skin I do not recommend this pill at all I have so much acne around my face and neck"


"I'm five days in and had to stop taking Otezla due to the horrible side effect from this drug. I'm having every side effects you could think of. Nausea, diarrhea, headache, vomiting, pain in my upper stomach so bad it was unbearable and chest pains. I haven't spoke to my  rheumatologist yet but I choose on my own to stop taking this drug. Nothing helped for pain and I couldn't keep any good or liquids down. Joint pain as well as back pains started getting worse."


"I was diagnosed early '16 with BED. I have a history of dieting and regaining wt. Sadly, I had gained > 80 lbs the past 8 years. I tried Weight Watchers, but I couldn't control my eating after 3 attempts. I sought help from a psych for the first time, because I knew it had to caused by my emotions.  I was prescribed 70 mg Vyvanse and had no problems from day 1. No problems falling asleep. The first 3 months it greatly reduced my appetite, so my weight loss was dramatic. I lost approx 47 lbs. For the past 3.5 months, I have lost another 31 lbs. It controls my impulses to eat when I'm not hungry. I didn't need to follow a special diet to lose any weight. I can easily control my portion size and no longer like soda or snacking much."


"Klonopin (Clonazepam) was unique compared to Valium, Xanax & Ativan in its ability to remove rather than mask the symptoms and do so at a relatively small dose that remained effective (2 mg. once a day in the morning) without any need to increase the dosage, and without causing sedation or mental impairment.   In fact - though I wasn't depressed per se - I subjectively experienced the lessening of my anxiety as positive and consequently my mood improved.

This is an important medicine; its benefits are increased by open and honest communication between doctor and patient; thus avoiding the imposition of arbitrary time limits on the length of treatment."


"Stopped dry hacking cough, have used it once but found Drs don't write for this medicine."


"Didnt work no change n mood"


"I have had a yeast infection for 5-6 days and was using Monistat until yesterday when I called & got a script for 2 Diflucan150! Took the first one yesterday morning & not much change at all this morning. Will take the second one tomorrow morning & pray it works. I had nor had a yeast infection for at least 10 years. No side effects & drinking lots of water. Having gall bladder surgery on Friday & want this cleared up prior to surgery. Sorry to say the docs offices are not a lot of help. So what else is new???"


"Hi,

I had unprotected sex with my husband after his vasectomie .... last week Thursday night. ..

At 9 pm the next day Friday I went to the shoppers drug Mart and grab that little white pill asap and I just had a miscarriage partial molar pregnancy and I flipped.... I hope it works I weight 185lbs... but the sooner the better... from what I read it works a lot.... now today on the 17 I had bad nausea and diarrhea this morning... side effect anybody else had that after the fact"


"I have been bleeding for almost 4 months. I did not get the second shot because the bleeding, I hope it stops soon since I didn't get the second shot. Worst experience ever"

"I have been taking Yasmin for a little over a year now.  Prior to that I took Yaz for about 3 years.  I have stopped taking Yasmin and other pills, for a little over a month now.  I have noticed that I seem to be eating the same, which isn't terrible, and I've gained about 3 pounds in that time.  I stopped taking the pills altogether because my husband got a vasectomy and the pills cause some minor high blood pressure."


"Have been on oxycodone 30 mg for about 4 years,have DDD and anular radial tear.. Basically my back is wrecked.. Tried all other types of meds but none made my life worth living again like the oxycodone.. Although I'm prescribed 5  a day I find some days don't need all 5..wish ppl would not abuse meds because have made it hard for the ones who do!"


"I never write reviews but I figured I had to share how truly life-changing Effexor has been for me. I've suffered with GAD and Major Depressive Disorder for quite some time. I was on and off of Prozac for about five years. When it stopped working, I began taking Effexor XR 37.5mg. I started feeling better, more calm, less anxious. Last year, someone I had dated for years and had recently broken up with passed away tragically. I was a disaster. My dosage was increased to 75mg, then 150mg, and now 225mg. Honestly - I don't know how I would have made it to where I am today without this medication. It has controlled my anxiety, my panic attacks and my depression. I still have bad days, I'm still in mourning, but I finally feel normal."


"This medicine has worked pretty good for me. After having constant health problems such as weight gain, bad acne, and not having a period but once a year for 3 years and being told that it was "ok",  I finally went to the OB/Gyne for another opinion. Found out that I had PCOS, and was placed on Ortho-Cyclen. This medicine started to clear my acne after 3 weeks of taking it and I started losing weight while on it. I lost a total of 6 pounds the first month and 8 the second month. The only drawback was that my period lasted for an entire 31 days the first month, but was told beforehand that it could last that long because of the time I went without a period."


"I've been taking this medicine for over 10 years, I have gone as high 300 mg down to 100mg.  My latest depression episode ( this is my third) I'm taking the 300 mg and amplify but it's not helping I'm thinking of taking 375 mg and see if that helps me."


"Mucinex worked like a charm for me.  When it ran out, I made the mistake of waiting a few days before I went out and got some more!!!  Since I have Chronic Bronchitis, I will always have this medicine on hand.  I had to see a doctor before taking it, since I am taking other medications, and had to make sure there would not be any dangerous interactions.  This medicine is a wonder drug for me.  I have now quit smoking, and am using nicotine gum.  If your Bronchitis is caused by smoking, you also need to quit.  The nicotine gum will keep your nerves calm, and that way you won't have to quit cold turkey.  When on the gum, you can take care of the psychological withdrawls, and later take care of the physical withdrawls. Not both at same time."


"Xanax is something that I was afraid to take, given the fact that people with anxiety and panic attacks are usually scared of what the medicine is going to do.  I finally gave in and started taking my Xanax on a day when I needed to go to the Doctor which terrifies me.  I took the lowest dose, 0.25 mg and I am so thankful that I did.  No panic whatsoever at the Doctors office.  I so look forward to knowing that I will have something to take to help me get through panic situations that I have been avoiding for years."


"Zyprexa is the only antipsychotic that doesn’t make me feel like a zombie! I kept my personality and my energy. It almost feels like I don’t take an antipsychotic. I take 7.5 mg, because my psychiatrist told me that when you take less then 10 mg daily, the risk of metabolic syndrome is low.

It’s very good for treating mania and it augments the effect of my antidepressant. The only downside is that it’s a little bit difficult to wake up."


"It gives me rapid relief of my muscle spasms starting within 10 minutes. It's the only 'as needed' medication I know of, whereas the others I've been prescribed are 'take at scheduled times' meaning they have slow bioavailability and one may be taking unneccessary doses."


"I regret, in hindsight, trying this method of birth control. I had been on the microgestin pill for about 5 years prior to trying this - microgestin had worked really well and helped clear my body and face acne significantly.
I had the nexplanon in a total of 8 months (at age 21) - the first 2-3 months were fine probably because my body was still adapting to the change in hormones. After about 3 months it all went downhill. After that 3 month mark hit I began having nonstop bleeding, I became moody and depressed most of the time, my anxiety got worse, and my acne began coming back as it had when I was a teenager before the pill.
Since taking it out, my acne is clearing and my mood is better. I am so happy to be done with it."


"I've had severe eczema since I was 13. I'm now 30. My Dr has put me on so many different meds for it that I began to lose hope.  It would swell up and get really itchy.  I have eczema behind, on, and inside both of my ears.  It's also embarrassing because people would ask if I knew I was bleeding out the ear all the time.  After yrs of no relief I switched Dr's.  The new Dr put me on betamethasone and after using it for only 2 weeks it cleared up to the point that it was almost gone! I thought nothing would help it and that I was stuck with it for the rest of my life with no relief.  I'm glad I was wrong!  Every couple of years I will get flare ups,  and all I have to do is put the betamethasone on it and it's gone the next day. Definitely recommend this."


"I was taking oxycodone 15mg every 3 to 4 hours.  My doctor tried me on Embeda 20mg.  It lasted about 4 hours and I still needed about 4 oxycodone tablets per day.  He upped my dose to the 50mg capsule. It works great and have not needed my breakthrough medicines at all.  I'm a pharmacist and the Naloxone is not released. It only comes out if you crush the pills.  It's to avoid abusers looking for a quick high.  Used correctly, you will NOT get any Naloxone (opioid antagonist). "


"I was diagnosed with clinical depression over 13 years ago. I took Paxil for 1 year and swore I would never take another depression medicine. After some extreme and consistent stress in 2010, I talked to my MD and he suggested that my depression would not just go away on its own. After explaining my drug experiences he prescribed Lexapro and I took it for about 3 months. It was wonderful except that it just stopped working, I had gained 10 lbs and the sexual side effects were terrible. He changed me to Pristiq, which I have been taking for 16 days now. I never had nausea or dizziness. I feel less hungry than I did on Lexapro and there are no sexual side effects. At first I felt a bit spacey but now I have more energy."


"I was on the nuvaring for 2 years. I loved it. However, I started getting low back pain on a Saturday and thought nothing of it. Monday I had a doctor appointment, the dull pain was still there but I thought maybe it was because I was going to take the ring out in a few days to start my cycle. However, that night my leg started swelling. By the next morning the pain was so unreal I almost vomited. I went to the ER where they discovered I had a rapid growing blood clot in my femoral vein (area between groin and upper  leg) that was 6 inches long. I was put on Xarelto for 3 months and on bed rest for a week as they were so concerned it would break off and go into my lungs or heart. It took me 6 months to fully recover from the clot."


"Clonidine made all the difference in the world in my recovery. It helped with my restless leg, cravings, sweating. I took it with Valium. It makes you feel like you're walking through mud but it beats the alternative!! It's very inexpensive. It was a life saver for me."


"Have been on and off lexapro for the last 20 years (more on than off). This time I was off the medication from for about 5 months and the anxiety and depression was back even though I had a change of life style, doing plenty of exercise and changing work environments.  For me the side effects were feeling nauseous, insomnia (normally 1 nights average sleep and the next no sleep, constant swallowing which I think is called dry mouth and just feeling miserable for the first 3 weeks.  I'm into my fourth week now and sleeping a lot better and feeling much better in myself.
If you are having the same side effects, hang in there as life will get a lot better"


"I have been on Contrave for 4 months and I am so happy with the results.  I have lost a total of 62lbs.  I will continue to take this pill until I reach the goal that I happy with."


"I have had chronic constipation for 15 to 20 years. My Dr. gave this to me today. I took it and within 4 hours I had a BM..... WOW....to go to the restroom and not strain is amazing to me."


"I gave Sprintec a 10, for effectiveness. This will be rather long: when I first started the pill everything was normal. I got my period 3 pills into the placebo pills ( and I have every month since) I noticed that I do have some vaginal discharge but it is normal and it happens usually when I get a new pack. When im in my period my crampa actually worsened, and id often get terrible leg cramps that would wake me up in dead sleep.  But fortunately the leg cramps disappeared a few months in. Mood Changes, I do tend to get mad easily now and cry a lot more than I used too. Also it made my sex drive plummet,  I was not interested in anything sexual. Also it made my orgasms be very fainy and last maybe 3 seconds. This did go away a little."


"I've only been on this bc for a few months now. My doctor switched me from tri-sprintec to gildess to help with my acne. Although it has yet to clear up my face, that seems to be the only problem that I have with this pill. After my first month my period became non existent which had me very worried at first since the doc failed to mention that. But now I'm okay-ish with it. I wish I had it to know about pregnancy but I can't say that I miss it.

Thus:
Pros--no period, no weight gain or loss, not pregnant yet (using other protection about 60%of the time), no decrease in sex drive, no crazy side effects
Cons--no period, some headaches"


"This medicine is great. It is the only medicine that will stop my headaches. Just one pill worked within 30 minutes. The only side effect was super sensitive salivary glands. Worth the money."


"Had unprotected sex during my most fertile time and I know for a fact It was around the time I was ovulating, my periods have always been regular and I can tell by my symptoms..and I keep track on my fertility app. so since I am not on birth control, I took plan b the next day about 14 hours after sex. Didn't experience too bad of symptoms,just my usual PMS symptoms. my boobs were pretty sore and swollen, slight nausea, and mood swings, biggest side effect I got was fatigue. Also this pill made my cervical mucus thicker. I had no spotting. These symptoms lasted for the full 2 weeks until my period came which it came on time just 1 day early. my period was a lot heavier than usual and had pretty bad cramping, but this pill worked!"


"It helps me a lot with my constipation issues. But it has done something for me that I don't see anybody mentioning. I've been having constipation problems for over 40 years. The big problem for me was that just going "normal" to the bathroom was not enough for me. When the stool just got a little harder I felt real bad, I couldn't think right, got in a bad mood, felt like intoxicated. In my opinion, my bowels let too many toxins go into my body. As such, I had to take laxative when other person might not need it. Linzess seems to prevent the toxins to go into my body and in doing so, it has had an extraordinary effect on me. The main effect has been that some joint pains that I thought were chronic just disappeared short after I started"


"Excellent medication, only thing to work after twenty years of sleeplessness and trying everything.  Takes a few weeks to get used to it, the grogginess etc lift with time.  Use the weight gain as an excuse to exercise more, make it a win win situation.  I take 7.5mgs and take it two to three hours before bedtime, this way I wake up more refreshed, and some evenings I go without it just to give myself a break."


"When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing helped my face to prevent breakouts and the scarring left behind until now. My mom bought this for me and with thin three days, yes three days, my face looked so good! It was only $15 too, Iv'e been to two dermatologists and whatever they prescribed me made my skin worst. Anything over the counter also made my skin worst over the years. Definitely worth a try and also no burning or irritation for me!"


"Just started Trulicity last week. I was on Metformin for years and just couldn't take the upset stomach anymore. Also, my numbers would bottom out when I was doing well with my diet and exercise. I was petrified to try Trulicity because of the reviews and the possibility of thyroid cancer. But after a lot of research I decided to try. I feel great, no horror stories about stomach problems, my numbers are steady and low and I feel great. My supervisor is going to be so thrilled that I don't have to run home 3 or 4 times a month with terrible stomach problems. I am hoping this continues."


"I started doxycycline for acne on October 7th 2015. My acne was not Terrible but my chin was constantly breaking out and I was tired of it. second week into doxy my face got Worse! I was so very upset and even considered stopping the medication. Do not stop! For me it got worse before it got better. Stick with it. Today - November 24th 2015 my skin is almost completely clear. I do understand that this medication may not work for everyone. I do feel a little bit more constipated than usual. Also- make sure you take this medication with food. I hope this forum helped!"


"Awesome, works like magic!!"


"My two-and-half year old son had severe reactions to Malarone. We were put on Daraprim for the entire 6 weeks of our stay and two weeks following our return to the US and we never got sick. We took precautions to not get bitten but did wind up getting a few mosquito bites but we never got sick. So, my feeling is the Daraprim worked in preventing us from getting malaria!"


"Lemon wedges!! It really work to suck on/lick a lemon wedge in between drinks of this nasty stuff. But, if you didn't do that and you vomited it up - get Miralax for the 2nd dose (if you wasted the first). That's what I ended up doing but the 2nd dose of Suprep went down much easier when I went slower, sucked on the lemon, and used a straw."


"Traveled to Dominican & got traveler's diarrhea. Took too much Imodium & ended up being severely constipated for two weeks. My stomach was so huge we called it my "Dominican Baby". I tried 3 different laxatives-nothing. I then heard about Mag-Citrate. Drank a whole bottle of the cherry (not bad - super sweet like a candy) & waited. The bottle said 30 min-6 hrs for action. I waited 3 hours, then fell asleep and woke up. I was so disappointed. It had been over 12 hours and nothing but gas. This was when I decided to go to the hospital. a few hours waiting there and all of a sudden...relief after drinking a coffee! If it doesn't work right away give it time, it will! I also recommend coffee to help it along :)"


"I have had the mirena in for nearly a year. I have had 4 kids so getting this inserted didn't bother me. It's was slightly uncomfortable but that's it. I have had no periods since then which is great, and my headaches have also reduced. I am wondering if the mirena has caused a slight weight gain and having trouble to get the weight off though. I highly recommend the mirena."


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"My son got the Flumist and was a little tired for a couple of days and loss of appetite. It's now day 4 and he has a fever of 100.5, not too high.  We will see how long it takes for it to go away.  My 6 year old had tiredness, sneezing and stuffiness and keeps taking her temperature but seems to be okay.  My 9 year old just has some stuffiness.  I wonder if body weight has anything to do with it since they all received the same dose.  Maybe the dosage should be tailored to body weight."


"Took the edge of the pain.  Did boost my mood, and the tiredness took a day or two to adjust too. The worst was the dry mouth- I couldn't go anywhere without a bottle of water- and my blood pressure dropped to a dangerous low.  When my doctor took me off it, I ended up in the ER with a Flare up I hadn't experienced since being on the medicine."


"I have taken both Olmesartan (Benicar) and Losartan (generic Angiotensin II receptor antagonists) to replace earlier ACE Inhibitor drugs, which invariably caused a chronic cough for me. I went off Benicar in 2015 because my insurance designated it as non-preferred and it was extremely expensive, but I have recently discovered that it is now available as a generic. Olmesartan has given me better and more stable control of moderately elevated blood pressure than Losartan."


"I started Junel to try & have shorter, more regular periods. I'm on my 5th month using it now. For the first 3 months I would spot for the entire week before my period would actually start, but I stuck with it since they say your body takes time to get used to it. I don't have that issue anymore but I have gained at least 11 lbs in the last 2 months & I'm the type that does not gain weight easily (I've probably gained about a pound a year since 2007). I've been wanting to gain weight but this came on kinda suddenly so I'm a little worried"


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I am so glad that they brought back Midrin, it always worked well for me. My neurologist prescribed me another medication to take its place that contained a barbiturate, so rather than take that I suffered through work because it left me with a foggy feeling. With Midrin I can function with a clear mind and is quicker acting than the medication regime than the Toradol/Zofran combination that my PCP prescribed. I don't notice any side effects with my preventatives either as I did with the other."


"Insurance covered this 100% which was great...I had a period the NEXT day after not having one for 5 years with Mirena. Since then I have randomly bled several times a month for the last year and a half. I have gained 60 pounds, began to lose my hair, started sprouting manly hair all over my body, and developed cysts under my skin due to this. I went through 3 doctors trying to figure out what the problem was, before it was determined that Nexplanon was the culprit. Not pregnant which is a plus, but not worth it. Getting it removed within the week. DO NOT USE!"


"I'm still throwing up"


"Switched from combination pill to mirena after 5 years on the pill. I'm 27 and have never been pregnant.

The insertion was. the worst thing I've ever experienced ! Almost fainted. The following 8 hours I had really bad cramps (never really had them before), I'd say a 8/10. Also threw up six times and got diarrhoea. Strange! The following 5 days light spotting, then light period (as planned) for about a week.

It's now been almost 8 weeks since insertion, got my second period which was very light compared to being on the pill. Apart from the horrible insertion I'm very content with mirena, absolutely worth it! Also much cheaper as my pill cost around $10 each month and the mirena only $70 for five years, perk of living in Sweden."


"51 year old 131 pounds, one time use. Directions said take 1 - 3 tabs, so I took two for constipation .  Less than 2 hours later I felt the urge to go.  That's when the severe cramping and profuse sweating began.  While going,  I began to vomit (what seems like everything I've ever eaten... ever).  Ate mostly clean all week. That day I ate a spinach & sundried tomato omelet for breakfast with coffee & orange juice and buffalo chicken salad with water for dinnier. Since I'm watching my weight, I weigh myself in the morning.  After this Dulcolax experience,  I lost four pounds in about as many hours. .  So, 5 points for the weight loss,  but I'll never put myself through this pain again!"


"I have severe cracking of my feet and toes and two weeks daily of using the medication once a day after bathing and drying my feet ... things have cleared up almost completely!!  I wear work boots and cotton socks six sometimes seven day per week and my feet really suffer...Thanks for the Betaderm."


"I used to take Requip for restless leg syndrome, and sometimes it made me so sick I would vomit. Other nights it would be fine. One day I decided to call my PCP for a script of zofran or phenergan to help subside the horrible nasty vomiting and nausea effects of Requip and they wrote me a script of 12 4mg Zofran swallowable tablets. It helped almost immediately (not  within a minute, but 10mins or less) and then decided to stop my Requip medication because just made me sick. My RLS went away with other meds that I take and while I still take Zofran, I enjoy it for any spur of the moment "IM GONNA BE SICK" Kind of feeling, so I always carry it with me. At a hospital visit they gave me a dissolvable one that tasted like berries. Good med"


"Side effects were debilitating, headaches, nausea. Did not experience much in the way of pain relief."


"I got Nexplanon inserted in May 2014 so I'm about halfway there to my 3 years and I am still til this day on the fence about this birth control. I got it to prevent pregnancy, and I was aware of potential sporadic bleeding, but unfortunately the bleeding has not yet stopped a year and a half later. Whether it come for four months straight then stop for a month, its too unpredictable and I find my sex life severely effected and living off tampons. I stopped bleeding for a month in July but I have been bleeding since August 2015 both heavy and light non-stop. Once you think you've stopped bleeding then out of no where its strikes. Its a nuisance and ridiculous. On a lighter note, I am not pregnant so that's a plus."


"Augmentin helped my bronchitis, but quickly gave me diarrhea, then by the 5th day it gave me genital dermatitis! May work for some without such severe side-effects. "


"Had undiagnosed pain for years, until my Doctor sent my blood work to Berkley Heart Labs. Turns out I have Collagen Vascular Disorder and Fibrinogen. Tried Lyrica, no help and hated the side effects. Then he gave me a trial pack of Savella...It took a little over a month, but I began to feel NORMAL again (which I forgot what that even felt like)  I have experienced some side effects...mostly hot flashes, which I thought were due to being premenopausal. But I'm moving, walking, feeling up beat! ( I continue with 20mg of Paxil). I am able to do things I never thought would be possible again!"


"I'm taking Prograf since 2000. Was 7 seven back then, now I'm 19. Still no side effects, just wanted to check if there are any long term side effects."


"I took it for 6 months, it didn't help me with my depression at all and gave me even sadder thoughts"


"I was prescribed 5 days of Avelox for bronchitis/sinusitis.  Seems to have cleared up all the green mucuous, but the cough lingered for another week.  Another possible side effect is  tremendous pain/swelling in my Achilles tendon.  Don't know if this was caused by Avelox, but have been doing some research and that is a possibility. I will be going back to the doctor tomorrow for follow up, as I can barely walk."


"Really good."


"I hate this pill I won't get pregnant because I won't stop bleeding to even have sex this is a headache. I have been bleeding light to med for about 2 weeks this has been happening for a very long time I be happy if I can go 5 days w/o blood don't take this pill if you can help it"


"Headache, nauseous, on day one, left arm tingling day 1, 2, 3. Nightmare and neck pain day 4....and 3 more days to go...."


"I found Amitiza moderately effective as a laxative, mostly just reducing straining.  The side effects were outstanding, however.  Abdominal sensations went from offensive to extremely pleasant.  I spent the whole week that my presciption lasted laying around feeling like a cat in front of the fireplace.  I don't think my doctor approved."


"This medication has been miraculous for me so far! Just started 2 days ago. Very mild side effects only a bit jittery in the morning and felt kinda spacey day 1. I feel in control again. I feel calmer and almost tearful at the hope this continues. I'm no longer obsessed with food. So happy my Doctor suggested this. I have a lap band but regained 50 pounds the past 2 years. I feel empowered to get to my goal weight again! I'm eating healthy choices now, loving vegetables and fruit! Was eating 2 candy bars daily..now have 0 cravings for sweets! Buying a really nice bicycle soon and plan to ride 5 times a week! Good luck to everyone!"


"I have been on 20mg daily Fluoxetine for past 3 years for PMDD. This definitely helps me feel more normal at that time of the month. No more crying, mood swings and feeling out of control for 7 days every month. It has taken me 20+ years to get diagnosed with PMDD after seeing lots of dr's who didn't really understand. In the end i kept a diary. For 2 weeks of each month i would be fine followed by around 10 days of feeling low, irritable, moody, anxious etc.  I did increase the dose to 40mg daily at one point but kept getting bruises on my thighs and itchy legs (side effect) so reduced it back to 20mg. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else suffering from PMDD."


"After suffering from about 5 years old, I'm now 56. Only been on the medication for approx 9 weeks the improvement has been amazing. I've been unable to cope with the pain and spent many days in bed over the years so touch wood this medication will keep on working."


"I live with PTSD, social anxiety, panic, depression (manic). I've had a rough life in the early years, and married young to a psycho. Then lost my first child. My life hasn't stopped taking as of today- I tend to hide away, in a literal sense. Locking all doors behind me. Recently the FDA marked Xanax a black label- (saying it's a killing drug with pain meds taken together) thanks to rich people and their drinking with meds, and those high profile dealers out there mixing fentenyl into simple drugs, and doctors prescribing 2mg Xanax pills several per day.., people like me get to be sick and be removed from 3 -1m tabs per day that were to help us be part of society- while we search for another medication to help us get there again.. "


"I was prescribed Gabapentin, 300mg three times daily for menopausal hot flashes as well as general moodiness as Black Coash was not working. Well, 2 weeks later, absolutely no change except for weight gain. After reading some of these reviews, I need to speak to my gyn about possibly increasing the dosage. Not sure if it would make a difference though (all this while having power surges)."


"I tried Prevpac first but I had an allergic reaction and had to stop taking it halfway through the course. It seems to have cured me for  a few years but more recently I had a GI h pylori reoccurance. I am taking Pylera and am on day 9. I have had very little side effects. In fact, I am feeling much better and my bowel movements  are better as well. I did feel nausea and weakness on one day but I had barely eaten anything because lack of appetite. Advice: eat 4 healthy meals a day before I take the medication. Yogurt and probiotic in the morning and fruit.. Absolutely no coffee or acidic anything (vinagrettes, ketchup, tomato sauce, ) and no soda and anything sugary. No red meat and nothing too heavy or fatty. Hope this helps."


"I started this depo shot back in September 2016 because it was suggested that I got on birth control for a few reasons. The first two months (September and October) were great... I didn't even get my period the entire time. But once November (my last month) came, I was bleeding non-stop. It wasn't heavy bleeding but everyday I needed to wear a pad cause I was bleeding enough for one. The whole month of November I couldn't even have sex cause I was bleeding like crazy and it wouldn't stop! Not only that, but I really hated the way that this birth control made me feel... I was extremely moody and almost depressed for some of December. I was so happy when I was off the shot and I'm now on birth control pills and so far it's going well"


"I didn't have a period for a little over a year and now I've had two very painful ones in one month"


"I was prescribed Doxycycline 50 mg. once a day a few years ago for rosacea, my nose was red and ruddy with p&p's, flaky, stingy, you name it. I was on and off the Doxy because it really wasn't helping but I thought my problem had to do with a compromised immune system since I wasn't born with Rosacea, I developed symptoms about 6 years ago at age 49 so I was sure it was an internal issue. I have been to 3 dermatologists and 2 laser specialists since I started with symptoms, dozens of on line miracle cures too and no improvement to speak of. One month ago I went to another dermatologist and was prescribed 50 mg. doxy TWICE a day along with soolantra which I also had tried but to no avail until now. I have been basically p&p free, redness 50%"


"First off I have only been on this pill for one month; I will update when I have been on it for longer and how I'm feeling.

Why I got on this pill? I was having crazy irregular cycles, I would go two months without a period and then be bleeding HEAVILY for nearly a month straight. I didn't really have any pain or anything but I didn't want to become anemic and many women in my family struggle with PCOS and endometriosis so I wanted to get this taken care of, not to mention even though my S.O. and I have been together over 3 years we're really not in a place to have a child so it was probably best that I got on a birth control again. (In the past I had the Depo shot and Aviane pill but had stopped due to the side effects I was experiencing."


"I love this medication, I would be lost with out it. I have degeneration of the spine and this causes a lot of swelling. Before Celebrex  I couldn't get out of bed without taking pain meds first and giving them time to work. Now with Celebrex I can get right up, I move like I did 10 years ago. "


"4 years ago my 1st pregnancy i went into preterm labor at 26 weeks.

this year I have been on makena since 17 weeks  I'm now 37 weeks with no shots left I've made it :-) I was worried at first but have nothing negative to say and if your doctor recommends this for you I say do it and don't forget prayers ....."

"This is the best medicine for heartburn, reflux, gastritis, and etc. I had stomach problems for the longest until I took Zegerid. Prilosec didn't work for me, neither anything else. I'm finally happy, downside, I have to take one at least once a day or I'll be hurting in the stomach. After I got a endoscopy on me and the biopsy was normal, I possibly got to take this pill for the rest of my life and I'm only 24. I have mild gastritis."


"My biggest issue on this pill was the mood swings and irritability.  I was ALWAYS on edge and felt angry for no reason (to the point that I questioned why me and my fiancé were even getting married if I was so annoyed with him being around all the time).  Within 3 days of being off this birth control pill, I feel 100x better. I'm genuinely happy and like myself again.

I had severe cramping right before my period (gut wrenching pain). My period were light and only lasted 2-3 days.

I had a little bit of water retention, but didn't notice much weight gain.

I, personally, would never ever use this brand again (to be honest, me and my fiancé are just using condoms for now and I feel so good not being on the pill at all)"


"61 adult male- ADHD, 5' 10"-215 lbs. Heart disease w/ 2 stents (on BP medication) & hip replacement 8 weeks ago. Athletic with the fat in sides, back and chest not much in the stomach. Weight a challenge based on years of yo-yo diets and from high school and college sports.  Finishing up week two of single doses in the morning & evening.  By day three aspects of the drug positively lessened ADHD effects. Certain obsessive personality components are noticeably lessened that also included eating routines. Started working out heavy at beginning of Contrave and gained 5lbs by end of first week due exercise.  Appetite was down by day 6.  HR & BP low at a 204lbs by 2nd wk w/ exercise & eating healthy. Reduced BP meds but some dizziness starting day 7."


"I'm about too start on my 3rd month and so far I love it. On my 2nd month I had a little spotting but nothing big. It helped with pimples but they get worse before my period but after I'm over then they are gone. I've had sex many times in the 2nd month without a condom and so far I'm baby free so the birth control does work. It helps my periods and the reason I got on was so I can have a constant one. It helped this 16 year old real good!"


"It keeps me from wanting to put my head through walls. "


"I took one Mucinex DM at 11 am and coughing and mucous flow was reduced significantly, although accompanied by dry mouth.  Yesterday at noon I would have given it 10/10.  However, I took one capsule at 8 pm and had severe insomnia and could not fall asleep until 8 the next morning.  "


"My father is 89 and has suffered from dug induced constipation for years as a result of his pain management drugs. His first injection of Relistor yielded a substantial bowel movement in less than ten minutes. Since this initial treatment he has experienced increased normal movements on a regular basis. There have been no adverse reactions to this medication."


"I hate cipro. It sucks tne life out of me. I have no energy and it takes many , months to get better."


"this was a terrible drug for me. I can't tell you any physical side affect because I stopped taking it immediately after a week. This drug made me scared to go to work. Every time I get ready for work this incredible fear about going to work would possess me. I would call my job and tell them am sick when I was actually afraid. I would have my aunt call my job for me to call out because I was afraid. I would try to bring courage to go to work but the closer I was to work the worse the fear would be. I called out 4 times in a row. I almost got fired. when I stopped taking it, it all went away."


"My boyfriend and I had sex on 2/6 around 5pm and the condom broke. I was scared that he didn't pull out fully and accidentally finished inside me. The last time I got my period was on 1/22. I wanted to purchase Plan B but I didn't get the pill until the next day around 12 pm. 5 days after taking the pill I was bleeding for about 4 days (super light). I was waiting and waiting for my period to come but nothing was happening. I was getting impatient and really nervous that I was actually pregnant so I went and bought a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I finally got my period today on 3/13 around 5 pm, I could not be happier. The pill works ladies so relax."


"Miracle. Like others, was first prescribed for foot neuroma but it took away 90% of all other arthritis pain which for me is concentrated in knees, hands and feet. Went off it for just two days to take regular ibuprofen for something else and it was staggering how quickly and how severe the returning arthritis pain got. I hope I can take this until a cure is found. I detect no side effects. Try it!"


"I've had chronic migraines since 1984, almost on a daily basis. I've used almost every migraine medicine ever made. The "fiorcet", and "fiorcet with codiene" are the only 2 that have ever given me any relief."


"I was prescribed this medication for BV (500mg 2x a day/7) & it was the worsttt experience ever! I got freaking little bumps/sores on my LIPS!! On top of that I had the worsttt pain radiating from my sides to my back, my urine was really dark, I was light headed & felt like I was going to pass out which led to PANIC ATTACKS. My neck hurt, my throat was killing me. I had no relief & in fact it made me feel more like I had a UTI as I also experienced frequency, urgency & burning when I urinated. I stopped taking it after 3 days & called my dr."


"My Doc recently refused to renew my Rx for Ristoril 30mg and switched me to Rozerem 8mg. I'm beginning to think she's playing me with a placebo. My problem has never been falling asleep; it is staying asleep that's problematic. With the Ristoril it was lights out for 6 - 8 hrs. Now I'm staring at the ceiling till sunrise after about 1.5 hrs. of light sleep. The spontaneous naps during daylight whenever I sit or recline exacerbate the problem at night.  I'm getting ready to doctor shop."


"Been on it for several days and can't take it no more. Horribly  nauseous, the scariest night terrors ever and head hurts so bad I thought I would pass out. I really thought I could get through it and it would work. I just can't take it. So sad."


"I get intense panic attacks. Xanax is very effective at working quickly to stop a panic attack. It saved my life, until after a few months I tried to stop taking it and got horrible withdrawals. I felt like I was dying, my anxiety was worse than it had ever been in my life, high blood pressure (and mine is naturally low), tachycardia, hallucinations, tremors. I hope anyone considering taking Xanax takes it at a low dose and not daily. If daily, do not quit cold turkey. "
