"I took this pill for years...since I was probably 20. Never had any side effects or issues, was very happy with it. Kept a healthy weight (even lost some) and it helped my skin. But ultimately, it didn't do what it was supposed to. Took it like clockwork and got pregnant..."


"I have been on this medication for approximately 3 weeks now.  It is a God send for me.  I noticed results on day 2.  I have had recurring depressive episodes my entire adult life.  This episode I was unable to get out of bed, sleeping up to 14 hours a day, not going into work (thankfully I have a very understanding boss).  I was not suicidal this time, I actually think that I really didn't care enough to do anything about it.  My whole attitude was that, "I just don't care."  I have anxiety as well, but the episodes have always been well controlled with 1mg of Ativan.  I had the racing thoughts, inability to concentrate, unable to finish almost any task-if I even got as far to start one.  175mg of Effexor and I can finally function."


"Some of the reviews here seem to be misleading. What works for some women, may cause horrible side effects for others. I've tried a few different BC pills and even the Depo-Provera shot. My Dr. suggested I switch to Lyza because I was getting frequent migraines with the last pill I was on. I have not had a migraine since I switched to Lyza! It's been over a year since I switched and I haven't experienced any weight gain, change in mood, etc. Overall, I've had a wonderful experience with this birth control. Only downside is that my periods are inconsistent.. Sometimes I will go a couple months w/o one. But I also don't take it at the same time every day (oops!)"


"This medicine has done only good things for me. I have taken it for about 3 weeks now.  It cleared up my moderately severe acne very quickly no negative side effects. The only side effect I had was decreased appetite which I was not opposed to as I usually eat too much anyway!"


"I want to share because I read these blogs & threads and find them useful. I was on Nuvaring 2x in my lifetime. I normally have no extreme problems with PMS, acne or mood swings. Normal periods without contraception. Started NuvaRing when moved overseas and wanted to avoid pill-failure due to digestive issues.
Pros: Super convenient (1x month dose), Easy to use, really great except.
Cons: NO ENERGY! NO SEX DRIVE. Unfortunately to such a level I stopped it due to not having sex. My normal sex appetite back within a WEEK! Shame, such a convenient product."


"This was prescribed for my son who has Cerebral Palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. He became swollen in his legs ankles and feet. Took for 48 hours and discontinued as the swelling progressed. Rushed to MD, had to take a different medicine (Macrobid). Thankfully the swelling subsided in a few days. I have read many horror stories about the side effects of this medicine - some permanent! I do not recommend.
Please keep in mind that a urine sample should always be cultured, not just tested with a dipstick as the treatment really depends on the type of bacteria that's causing the uti."


"I got implanon February of 2015.
Also I am 4"11 100lbs when I got it so I was fairly tiny before. But the day I got it in my arm I had bruising for a whole month. Didn't get a period still haven't. My moods vary from super bitch to quiet and tired. I eat ALL the time but can't gain any weight. In fact I've lost 10 lbs since being on it and I hate it. This thing has made me moody. Have dry skin. I have lost weight and hair. Besides not getting pregnant it's doing its job."


"After having several panic attacks over a 12mth period I was prescribed Zoloft. I had no idea that it would also help with so many other problems which I just thought were variations of "normal." I started on 25mg in the morning but found it made me feel tired so I changed to taking it before bed. Miraculously I was able to fall asleep within a few minutes instead of the usual 30 to 60 minutes. I also stayed asleep through the night, rarely waking but easily returning to sleep when I did. I felt less agitated and irritated by what now seems like fairly trivial things. Big problems in life still exist but they do not dominate my mind every waking moment. I no longer feel embarrassed in social situations and just feel generally content."


"I love Latuda! I haven't felt this good in years. My Dr gave it to me for my depression. I really love how it gives me energy  it also didnt take long to kick in. Problems I have with it: dead sex drive, vaginal problems, and anxiety. Make sure you take it at night so you can sleep through the anxiety. Literally take it right before you go to bed."


"Works very well at keeping my blood pressure in check, but careful for the dizziness it can cause.  I will pop up out of my chair at work, or off the couch at home, start walking & then nearly drop to the floor because the dizziness overcomes me!  Stand up slowly!"


"I can only get a few hrs of sleep w/o it but I get a good nite sleep when I'm taking regularly"


"Pain #9-10 have DDD, neck fusion, severe osteoarthritis as in S1 joints gone, 5 bulging discs, Fibromyalgia and have been in Chronic pain for 10 years now. After telling my doctor that the usual treatment does not work on me and generics don't work at all he tried the Belbuca. First 2 days @ 600 mcg per day made me  feel a little better, pain #8 but started feeling dizzy, confused, and heart started racing like crazy. Not sleeping soundly, having nightmares, up and down all night and the pain is worse now."


"I am 18, and never been pregnant. I have a very small cervix and had issues with the initial insertion. I originally went in to get the mirena but after 10 minutes of pushing and pulling it didn't go in so I opted for the skyla. I had a lot of pain the day of and the two days following but now I have had it for a while I love it. My boyfriend have had sex I'm sure upwards of one hundred times unprotected and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I haven't had a period since the month of and I've had it for 9 months now. Totally recommend it."


"Horrible aftertaste that lasts at least 8 hours. The taste comes about 5 mins after I take it and that's when I know it's working.  Otherwise I can't tell like I could taking another popular sleeping medicine. It's increased my depression and anxiety. I'm getting put back on my previous medication in three days due to the horrible after taste. It's chemical tasting. Nasty."


"I am not allowed to take a combo pill because I have migraines. I started micronor and it has been terrible. I get my period every two weeks, my breasts are extremely sore all of the time and I'm constantly spotting. I am also irritable,  moody and have cramps all of the time. Before I started it my period was always on time...predictable to the hour it started. I don't think it's worth bleeding constantly and being irritable and depressed...so I have stopped. Back to condoms it is."


"Clonazepam is very effective for anxiety.I had been on Xanax for years,then became ineffective.Some in Medical community tried to get me  on Visterol,Paxil,Remeron,all useless garbage if you have extreme panic.If used safely Clonazepam quells the bad symptoms."


"This works well if taken as needed like any other for serious pain sustained from injuries. I give it a ten, works for me."


"I am a 57 year old female, diagnosed with RA 29 years ago. I took Enbrel for 9 years, but began to have more frequent flares, so my rheumatologist switched me to Humira. I took the first injection 20 days ago and felt great until day 12, when I developed severe flu-like symptoms, with aches and pains and had a significant rash over my entire body and face. It was like having a major RA flare plus an itchy rash and headache at the same time.  I was prescribed a six-day dose of prednisone and 24 hour a day Benadryl. I had little  improvement three days latter and received a steroid shot  which was three days ago.  Four days later, I still have significant overall weakness, a major headache and injection site reaction from the initial and last injection."


"This is a really interesting medication based on the wide variety of experiences people have taking it. One person here said they constantly forgot things and had thoughts of death *before* taking Wellbutrin, whereas those are the symptoms I have *after* as side effects of Wellbutrin!  Also, I did have immediate success with this exact same medication dosage around 9 years ago (was on it for 3 years until it got less and less effective and I quit). This time, I've only gotten those negative side effects I mentioned. My doctor says give it 6 weeks, but it's been 4 and no benefit at all. Strange. Apparently, Wellbutrin's effectiveness can change over time even for the same person!"


"I have had 24/7 severe Headaches for 7 1/2 years due to a condition I have called Occipital Nueralgia.  I have tried every kind of pain medicine and preventative medicine out there, NOTHING WORKED!  I am on 40mg of Opana 3x/day, and it is wonderful, I can function and work and play with my kids and be out in the sun for the first time in 7 yrs, this totally keeps my pain under control.  I love it.  I highly suggest that any one with chronic severe pain try it.  IT WORKS"


"I am 24 and I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a year and a half ago now. I've been receiving this infusion for the past 12 months. The relief was brilliant bar constantly catching coughs, colds and flu's but it was worth it as I could lead a normal life again. My infusions were every 8 weeks and could take anything up to 4 hours but my remission time between infusions began to steadily decrease. I have now had my 9th infusion and receive them every 5 weeks. My body has grown an immunity to the drug and my doctor is changing me onto Humira as a last resort to avoid surgery. Hope this helps somebody."


"When I started this medicine, I bled the entire 5 months I was on Nexplanon. I went from perfect skin to oily, acne infested skin in a month! I had to transfer my files to another doctor to get it removed because my doctor insisted on keeping it in . Well ladies, a year later and I still have the face of a thirteen year old at the age of 25. I lost a lot of confidence because of my acne prone skin. . .and most of my time goes into trying to get my skin together . I have to go to the dermatologist now. By making the decision of not wanting kids, I now have to suffer the consequences of my decision for inserting Nexplanon. I think it should be discontinued immediately!"


"I have been taking Ambien for 2 years now for insomnia and trouble sleeping.  It does make you tired, but you also feel really good and happy.  I would take it and an hour later, not remember anything. Also, I would still wake up every hour. It helped me fall asleep, but not stay asleep.  Recently, I over dosed on Ambien.  That is what really woke me up.  This is not for me.  I have been prescribed Seroquel for my sleeping problems and this is wonderful. I have no more sleepwalking and I remember everything."


"I started premature ovarian failure/menopause at 31 and I'm now  35. I was skeptic of using the patch because of the side effects so I resorted to other forms of estrogen by birth control pills and changing my diet. They seemed to only work temporarily 2-3 months at a time and then the hot flashes and night sweats came back along with irritability and no libido. I finally said enough and tried Vivelle and after 2 weeks the hot flashes and not sweats were gone. I am currently on the "week off" of the patch so far so good. I can say that the only side effects that I've noticed is weight gain and breast swelling. I would recommend this patch to anyone in my similar situation."


"I am a 54 year old male; my free T came back at 29, very low. I was prescribed 1.62% less then a week ago. My motivation and energy levels coming back up already. I have no sex drive at al and cannot get or maintain an erection. Anxious to see how things progress in a couple weeks. Thanks to all for the great feedback."


"This is my first time taking any sort of birth control and so the NP prescribed me Lutera. I guess since it's easy to take and it's a low dosage of hormones. It's been a week for me so far and I've had little to no side effects. I was a little moody the first day and the second day, but after that I felt normal. I don't feel like I need to eat often or more, and I have no nausea/dizziness or headaches. The first day I got my pills I looked online to see the reviews for Lutera, and I was shocked and a little concerned when reading all the bad reviews. I'm not anymore, because it seems like Lutera is right for me. And not one pill is right for everyone, I think girls should know that."


"After less than a month on Zoloft, I could start to feel the effects in full swing. Besides being all around more joyful and talkative, I could see the world open up around me by the way it tamed my anxiety. It entirely reduced the uneasiness I felt when going into public. No longer did my heart palpitate, my body profusely sweat, my hands shake, or my words stumble.

It did come along with many negative physical effects however. Vomiting, nausea, hunger, heart burn, etc. I feel physically healthier without it, but it cured my social anxiety wonderfully."


"I started this drug last night I had a very sore chest bit of trouble breathing an trouble sleeping today iam very tired and no energy I only took 10mg has anyone else had this problem"


"I recently had to stop taking Azor (5/20) due to severe itching (feet, legs, hands, scalp, back, and around my lips). Azor did work well with keeping my blood pressure under control.  I was taken off of Lisinopril for the same reasons (10mg). I just started taking Bystolic (10 mg) today and hope that this will work without any really uncomfortable or painful side effects."


"This pill is just simplest Amazing. I have severe to moderate constipation. Three pills alway does the trick for me. Although you may experience pain cramps. But out other than that this pill is a lifesavior"


"I used to use this product years ago. I haven't in years. I was on several bouts of antibiotics and here came the YI.  I bought the 3 days treatment.  After inserting its as the the fire of a thousand suns has taken up residence in the nether region. OMG! People who make this stuff.... what are you thinking? This burning and pain is actually worse than the yeast infection itself."


"September 2016 I tried the higher dose but could not tolerate it. Recently my doctor had me try the lower dose. I was able to tolerate it and then titrate to the higher dose.
Initially the nausea and indigestion were significant but I waited it out and it got better. I lost 8 pounds the first month. Had I not started on the lower dose there is no possible way I could have used the medication. My sugars average 112 over the past month and those are not even fasting. I really like the medication. It's a matter of just toughing it out."


"After having surgery for gastric reflux and a major hernia, I was unable to keep anything down, including water. My Dr. Tried me on Zofran, Scopalamime patch ,and Phenergan with barely any effect. He eventually brought me back in to get some IV fluids into me
That was when he tried me on Thorazine. It works wonderfully on my vomiting. The only problem I have with it at all is that it makes me so drowsy, understatement- it knocks me out. But it was worth it to be able to get something down so I didn't get dehydrated again."


"I'm not really sure if its helped much, but maybe made some impact?  I don't like that I have to take it twice a day, because everything else I take is once at night, so I always forget my morning dosage.  600mg twice daily."


"I think these pills are very good for your legs.  They help you to sleep better and that makes you feel better."


"I've been taking this pill for almost a month and this is the first birth control I've ever taken. My periods always came the same time for about 5 days once a month but now that I'm on this pill I've had my period for almost 9 days and still heavy bleeding not to mention I shouldn't be starting my actual peroid for another week or two. But I do have to say my face is really clear though I usually don't break out that bad anyways. Also haven't noticed any weight gain yet. My sex drive is still very high but I can't do anything about it when I'm continuously bleeding all the time. "


"49 yo male, generally healthy including normal blood pressure.  I had a bare metal stent placed in a main artery and have been on 2.5 mg of Bystolic for 3 months now.  For the most part I feel good. The subtle changes to my body I have noticed include uncertainty, forgetfulness, fatigue and working at a slower pace. Never being on any medications prior to my procedure I became concerned  and phoned my Cardiologist.  Their reply: "Oh we hear that all the time from patients on the drug, it's normal.  You body is adjusting as it would to pair of new eye glasses".  It didn't make me feel any better."


"I've only been using this for about 5 days and I can already see very clear results! It says to not expect anything till 2 weeks but with my skin it seemed to start working overnight because the next day it was already clearer and scars had faded a bit! Bearing in mind I have very very mild acne not very noticeable just wanted this cream to prevent from getting worse. Will keep you guys updated :) would definitely recommend this for oily skin with some blackheads and mild acne or moderate acne."


"I have been a diabetic for 20 years now. I am on metformin 1000mg two times a day. I have also been on Lantus for the same time. A Doctor can tell you what to take but it may not be right. I was told to take 65 units at bedtime, but if I was sick or did not eat much that day I could bottom out in the AM. What I'm trying to say is you will have to find the right dose for you by checking your blood sugar on a regular basis.If your blood sugar was 350 at bedtime my lantus dose would  be 82.  I seldom take the same dose every night and I am staying in the good A1C range 22 for a 435 range will not work for me either. It's tough but you must keep a log to see what dose you gave yourself the last time and adjust it from there. Love you guy's."


"I was on Zoloft for 8 years and my doctor first tried to ween me off that and put me on Effexor.  It was miserable.  I am sure some of it was related to the withdrawal from Zoloft, but I was eventually able to transition to Lexapro without the same problems.  This medicine made me extremely nauseous.  I had a horrible headache and was so depressed my family cried from being around me."


"I started taking phentermine in January of 2015. I weighed 240 pounds and I'm 5'7. I ate about 1,000 calories a day and took vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 everyday with the phentermine. I strongly recommend it. I got a sweatsuit from Walmart and tried to walk a mile every night. In the course of about 10 months I lost 83 pounds!!! I got down to 157.. sadly I let bad habits take over again after the medication stopped and gained back some weight. I'm at 188lbs and my goal is 145. This time I'm doing it with the ketogenic diet (it's supposed to help you not gain the weight back after you stop taking the medication. It trains your body to use fat for energy instead of muscle. Wish me luck! Good luck to everyone else !"


"Abnormal dreams or more like nightmares.  This medication unleashed all of my demons leaving me with severe panic attacks.  Upon awakening I would not know if what I was feeling was real or not.  This is not a drug to use with someone who has severe PTSD."


"This drug works great for me, it takes for me 16 hrs to fully seem to get into my system. In the past I took the Vicoprofen (hydrocodone & Ibropfen) 7.5 mg.

I started out with12.5 patch,  after 1 1/2 yrs It was changed to applying every 48 hrs, after 2 yrs my dose is now 25 patch.

 Your body does get used to it, if after a year or so you become nervous, nauseated, headaches or feel dizzy and sick with headache, nausea, pain its no doubt time to change your patches application time or dose.

 I didn't know why I was getting too sick, the ER doc explained to me it was withdrawal symptoms, I didn't like to hear that but being we are dependent on them for pain (rather than being an addict), it can happen.

IMPORTANT start taking a stool softner"


"This is my 2nd time on treatment, this  time with Sovaldi added to Ribvirin and Interferon.
I feel terrible today I had my 2nd week injection last night and I can't remember feeling this bad last time. I'm getting sharp pains near where my liver is and my back is really aching.
I Don't feel myself and I am up and down emotionally thinking about death and that and not been there to see my 2 year old daughter grow up. I'm not suicidal though.
I gotta hang in there! 11 weeks to go."


"I read over these reviews many, many times before starting the naltrexone. All I can say is it does what it says and and all the positive ones are true. It did not let me down.
There was a time when alcohol was like air to me and I could not breathe without it. The alcoholism turned into heroin addiction, and even when I would get sober ALL I could think about was the fact that I was not drinking and I would be so angry that I couldn’t drink.
This drug is a miracle in the sense that I now no longer obsess over alcohol in my everyday thinking. Through a brief relapse, I had to force myself to drink a glass of champagne and couldn’t go any further.

If you want your life back, start now"


"Amitriptyline give me a good sleep every night, I take 1x10mg 2 hrs before sleep. Also the tablet takes away any aches and pains on your body.
A cure for panic attacks for which I used to have 6 approx a month is : Stop drinking Coffee or Tea unless you change it to Decaffinated only and the other cure that helps is : 4 or more cups of Camomile Tea every day ,no sugar and no milk in it. I normally leave the t-bag in the cup until I have drunk it.
All these things have worked for me and I have not had any Panic attacks for approx 3 years.
Also if you suffer with Policeman's heel while walking, the only cure for that is : Sketcher's Shape-ups, I have been wearing them  for years and my pain has completely disappeared, I buy mine on line."


"I have had chronic mild depression for most of my adult life.   I took Prozac for over 20 years but it really didn't help.  I was then prescribed Citalopram 40 MG, which did make a positive impact on my depression.  When it wasn't quite enough, my doctor prescribed 2 mg of Abilify - which I have been taking for over 3 weeks.  I can only say that this med works.  I have never ever been a "morning person",  but since I started on Abilify, I have been getting up very early and taking on the day with a lot of energy and positivity.  In my view, this medication does work as a supplement to existing anti-depressant medication.  Only side effect experienced thus far is:  mild insomnia (no weight gain at all - at least so far)."


"Okay I just switched from using Differen which helped my skin but didn't completely cure it. I have always had mild to moderate acne. I went to my dermatologist and  I started using Retin-A every other night for the past weeks and few days. I'M BREAKING OUT LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. This is awful and I have to go to school during this. I really hope this is just the initial breakout, and I'm not one of the people who end up saying this left my skin worse then when I started. I'm going to give it another month or two."


"I have been to the ER three times in 90 days with horrible sinus pain & pressure. Just finished my third round of augmentin. My ears are still full of fluid & I can hardly hear at all. This steriod has been working so fast! I feel better already & its only been 12 hours on the medicine (4 mg) pills. It does make me feel jittery, but it's definitely worth the side effects. Being sick 90 days is a long time."


"On Depo for approximately 10 yrs go. No problems or side-effects. No period for 3 yrs-HEAVEN! Got off of it. Doctor said since I had no bleeding last time would be okay to do again. Got shot a month ago-the week I was supposed to start. First week was great. No bleeding but have had continual spotting every day since (3wks). Hopefully it will stop soon. "


"I finally got the courage to talk to my GP about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and all the other issues it was creating. I was first OCD when 14 (Now 33) I was given some samples of Aropax back then and it seemed to eliminate the symptoms immediately, but over time and no planning for continued dosage, my condition worsened and led me to Luvox.

I was really down and out. The Luvox initially made me very tired. Dimished Sex Drive and loss of appetite. The enhanced depression was getting to me. The initial 50mg dose was increased (I'm 6'5 115kgs) to 100mg. After 4-5 weeks this started getting better.
The sleepiness became the opposite (hard to sleep).
Take them at the same time every day and keep a journal of your improvement."


"I had ruptured disks in my spine due to an ongoing issue I was having.  I cannot take morphine because it does not react well with me. My doctor gave me 100 mg. 2X a day and for once in my life I didn't want to die anymore because I was in so much pain. I had tried everything Tylenol  to oxycontin.  Nothing even touched it. So I was very pleased and relieved when I found something that worked.  And I can even move around with less pain."


"The first week is hard. I took it with Xanax to make sure I could sleep through the night. Get through the side effects, and it will change your life. I'm so happy. Night and day difference."


"I'm on day 2 of Portia-28 pack, started my period Saturday and my gynecologist told me to start the pill on Sunday, I couldn't get to pharmacy so I started on Monday. Since day 1 I have noticed a change in my period already it immediately lightened it up, usually my periods are heavy the first 2-3 days. I am also sporting a Kotex super plus or super, now I don't need a tampon and when I took my regular tampon out after it being in all day the blood was brown. I also have noticed my sex drive has spiked and so far no nasty side effects such as nausea or breast tenderness. I am sure as much as it has already shortened my period I won't be spotting throughout the month. I hope it stays this great for me for as long as I take it :)"


"Took 1 dose (first dose) at 6am on a tuesday. By 8am throat was sore. 9am feet went numb and started feeling odd, throat hurt more as well. By 11 am feet were red and raw and hurt like nails poking through them. Genitals became beat red and raw! Had a fever and loss of appetite.  Did not take anymore after first dose. Thursday feet were better but still had sore throat and genitals still raw and felt nauseous. Friday still sore throat, genitals not as red or raw but developed a hive on them. It's now Saturday and still have sore throat, color is back to normal on genitals but still have hive and now another in the pubic hair area. I'm kinda freaking out now and probably go back to he doctor today. All this from one damn pill! Uti still there"


"I take this medication for its side effects primarily. It works great if you have severe insomnia. This medicine makes you very hungry when you take it. It also helps to relive anxious feelings and help calm feelings of stress. Again my doctor prescribed this medicine due to weight loss, insomnia, anxiety. This is not what the medicine is exactly made for but I have tried dozens of medicines and this is the only one that has helped with my problems."


"I've had Nexplanon since June 2015. The first 4 months were great, I had no period or spotting none whatsoever. Since November 2015 I've had periods that last for 3 weeks, it would go off for a week, and the week after it would last my regular 5 days. So like most others I would rate it a 10/10 but because of the irregular annoying periods I have to say a 8/10. However it is a good product since I haven't gotten pregnant that is "


"It's extremely effective as far as not getting pregnant, but those side effects are something else. At first when I first got it it was right after having my son so probably like 2 weeks after my 6 week check up. I bled for at least 2-3 months it was absolutely horrible. Not a light flow either. I'm gaining literally a lot of weight, at first the weight gain isn't noticeable, but then it just hits you. I haven't changed my eating habits or anything. Even joined a gym, but that doesn't seem to help. My depression is at an all time high. Really Moody. And sometimes after I have sex I bleed for literally a week or two. I really don't recommend it, because of the side effects."


"Don ever remember feeling 100% on effexor

Bad withdrawal symptoms.

I went from 150mg of effexor to 10mg of cipramil and feel alot better.

There is no way il everl be taking effexor  and wouldnt recommend it to anyone, to many side effects."


"Noticeably increased my bra size and cleared up my acne"


"I have been on Gilenya for 5 weeks with minimal side effects. Had some nausea the first 5 days and took meclizine over the counter and it quickly resolved. Due to the MS I was dizzy and felt like I was pitching forward when driving and going down steps. I am not nearly as dizzy and the feeling of falling forward is much less. I hated the Copaxone injections which began making dents in my thighs not to mention the pain, itching and swelling at the injection site."


"If I wanted to be covered in acne, moody and in pain, I would have just gone out and gotten pregnant!

Several days after receiving the shot, I had strong smelling, dark brown discharge for about a week, which was followed by 4 LONG MONTHS OF CONTINUAL BLEEDING.

Haven't been able to test out its effectiveness because I haven't been able to stop discharging/bleeding. Which defeats the purpose of this shot.

Although this seems like a great option, these shots last for 3 months so if you react to it like me, you'll be stuck until it flushes out of your system.

Got the shot back in September and my periods are still not back to normal."


"I was prescribed Forteo because of early-onset osteoporosis Plus a rare hereditary bone density disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I./brittle bone disease). At time prescribed, I had a seriously broken arm that DR said would take "a long time to heal", but the Forteo sped up the process as predicted. I've only taken Forteo 2 or 3 months but haven't had another fracture. If you don't have fantastic presciption insurance then you need to skip Forteo because it costs appx. $3500+ per month/per pen and that's obviously well above 95% of people's budget!  The med was easy to use and to inject. I felt very little to no discomfort. Don't be intimidated by the glucose- blood-test-sized-ultra-tiny needles."


"It's only been a month so I can't guarantee any of this is the pill, but I switched over from Yasmin. Since I have started this pill, I have been in a way better mood. I have started losing weight (5lbs so far). My complaints are that I am breaking out! On my face, back and chest. Right before my period started I got sick. I thought I ate something bad but then I got my period the next morning. I was one for very painful and nauseating periods so I hope this is just a first time occurrence because I really don't want to switch pills AGAIN!"


"This product worked well for my post nasal drip. But I felt extreme pressure in my sinuses, especially in my ears. I had terrible dry mouth which created a horrible sore throat. Not to mention I took it at night and I got terrible insomnia. I felt jittery and just absolutely horrible. I wish I read these reviews before taking it! No more Claritin D for me. Stick with the regular Claritin."

"Xanax is the most effective non-habit forming medication ever. I don't have an addictive personality and I have never smoked nor do I drink alcohol and have never taken any illegal drugs. I was a gymnast for 12 years and was dedicated to the sport. I always felt nervous when I was younger but didn't know what it was. As an adult I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed so many SSRI's, none of which helped but made me worse. I finally found an amazing doctor who recognized my symptoms as generalized anxiety disorder. She explained that depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand and for years I had been mis-diagnosed. I take no other medicines, only Xanax when I need it. It has improved my life so much."


"I took this last night for the first time as I have had 2-3 months of bad sleep. Waking up and staying awake few hours after falling asleep. I took a 10mg, not really reading about it before. It was way too much for me, I slept, absolutely, but wanted to sleep whole day, now, 24 hours later I still feel very very sleepy! Will take it again but will break up the pills in quarters now if possible. I got the advice to take it with warm, sweetened milk an hour before bedtime."


"I have had really good results with this medicine and no adverse side effects. I had not had to take it for about 5 years, but was recently asked by my M.D. to go back on it. I am going to have to decline due to the huge difference in the cost of it now! For a 90 day supply, it is now $285.00 even with my prescription insurance. I am on a fixed income & absolutely cannot afford this! "


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for month and so far it has been a bad experience for me. I have been bleeding this whole month and have gained about 7lbs. I am very active and exercise every day but I'm still gaining weight, I'm naturally a thin person so its quite noticeable and it makes me very uncomfortable."


"I was prescribed Levaquin following a week of taking Cipro.  The Levaquin has caused serious and chronic diarrhea that continues even being off the medication for over 2 weeks."


"This is amazing! I would say I have moderate acne, and a lot of redness and acne scars. I have been using this gel for approximately 10 days and my skin is SO clear now! I have had comments from my friends on how clear my skin looks and what products I have been using. I have even been confident enough to go out the house without makeup due to my skin being so clear, which I haven't been able to do in a few years! I would definitely recommend this gel."


"I took one dose and 30 minutes later I was in real trouble! Rash, itching, tachycardia, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, etc."


"I've been on this medicine for almost ten years. At first it helped me and now I think I am having the long term side effects of the drug. My anxiety is through the roof and I have gained 50 lbs in 6 months. I'm not depressed but have major anxiety, I would say I have a panic attack almost every day. I take 60 MG and was on 80 but had to lower it because I was getting bad chest pain. I'm thinking about going off of it because the anxiety is so bad I can't stand it hardly. I guess for short term use it is a good drug but long term use it sucks, everybody is different though."


"So my experience with this medication is a good one.  I have tried just about everything for bipolar with schizoeffective features but this is the only thing that seems to keep me out of the hospital.  I don't overeat on this medication and I don't have hardly any side effects. I am currently taking 80mg at night and I seem to be getting quality sleep and feeling as good as you can feel with bipolar disorder the next day.  I don't give it a 10 because I still have some unusual thoughts but I have yet to take a medication that can completely take care of them or I think they are also called intrusive thoughts. If you read this I hope your experience with this medication will be as good as mine."


"This is the worst ever.  I tried the 1 day use.  And I did it during the day. Bad bad bad WORST!!  idea. I went out to hang out with a guy I like and it was so embarrassing that I had to run into the bathroom and stay there for an hour because my vagina was in so much in pain and fire and so itchy. It was so unbearable. Do not buy this stuff. I have tried the 3-day one before and it does the same stuff but not as bad but it does clear up the infection at least it did for me. But this is the worst I have ever felt it. And this is the most embarrassing experience ever."


"I have been on Copaxone now for about 10 yrs. I never tried any of the other medicines but can say that my MS has not reached a stage which has debilitated me so its reasonable to conclude this may be having some benefit.

Never had major side effects - recommended for RRMS."


"It has been a good 12 months since I have been taking the 40mg. I can say that I feel better when I am on this and also the important thing, after about the 8th month or so all the side effects are pretty much nonexistent."


"This medication caused my blood pressure to drop but did not relieve the muscle spasms in my back."


"I have only 1 side effects on this pill...terrible constant acne/skin issues!

Before I started taking this pill I would get a few occasional pimples along my jaw line (hormonal mostly). Since I started this pill (4 months ago) I've broken out in areas I didn't know I could break out in. Back, shoulders, jaw, neck, chest, forehead, cheeks, it's horrible. My face is also extremely oily on this pill. I also have little white bumps and a red rash on my neck? Really weird stuff.

Do not take this pill if you're prone to acne breakouts. Last night was my first pill of Yaz (which I took a few years back)."


"I had tried Loestrin for about 6 months and didn't really like it! I gave it a 5 because it was an effective method of birth control which was the main reason I tried it but the one thing I didn't like was everytime I missed a pill I started my period. But the thing I hated the most was it would make me dry out during sex, SO EMBARRASING. Never again! I've been off it for about 4 months and its still happening wouldn't dare recommend it."


"Wellbutrin XL was a fabulous medication for depression, but I experienced two side effects - muscle and joint pain and significant swelling in my legs. If it weren't for these things, I would stay on this medicine as it has been  wonderful for depression."


"I have been on the patch, Xulane, for over a year and this is my second time being on it due to insurance changes. Can wear it on your upper back/arm or abdomen. I usually switch from my left/right side of my abdomen to hide it under my pants each week for 3 weeks and then remove it for my off week (my period.) It's easier knowing when I am going to start by using the stickers that come in the box each month I am able to apply to my home calendar that no one sees (then there are stickers you place on the patch so the third patch you know to call in your refill.) It's a good system but I sometimes start my period in the middle of my third patch instead of my off week. My libido is down somewhat. Doesn't always stay stuck to my body (scary.)"


"It works. I promised I'd write a review because I was freaking out looking for information just like you probably are. I took it about 10 hours after the incident. I was at the beginning of my cycle. My period was about 3 days late, and then the next month it was early - about 10 days after the period after plan b. It took a few months for it to get back to normal. Both periods were like normal periods. Try not to freak out but I know that's easier said than done."


"I hate this birth control it is not worth it. I only had it on for not even a week, just barely, and I am having so much pain throughout my body that I didn't have before. I have pain in my lower leg, chest pains that make my breathing feel even heavier and clenching, stomach pains even though my diet has been consistent and watched for the past few months,  and now this throbbing headache that won't go away. I tried to wait it out but I can't, I'm suffering so much and it's worsening my depression/anxiety. Originally went in for a referral to see an endocrinologist for my chin acne, now i'm suffering physically and mentally. Don't be like me, speak up for what YOU want, not what your doctor wants. :("


"This works well. It takes time, but if you follow the instructions precisely the warts get smaller and smaller until they're gone. No scar, no freezing or drying, no acid. The warts just shrink until they're gone.  Less side effects than Condylox. It does not affect healthy skin like Condylox does."


"I went on accutane while I was in my freshman year in high school. I suffered from severe acne in middle school. After the first round my skin was very clear. The acne came back again and I went on the second round and again it gave me perfect skin. I love this medicine. It did woners for my skin. The dry lips are worth the end result."


"Medication works fast - I received instant results. Amazing. If I only knew before, I could have experienced less miserable days."


"I had a very pungent odor and was diagnosed with BV. I was a little skeptical about clindesse because oral clindamycin and me do not agree. However, I inserted the clindesse before bed and the next day the odor was not existent. I haven't had any side effects so I'm a fan or this product. If you don't have insurance, it can be a bit pricey. So just go online and print or download the coupon card."


"After trying to treat my anxiety and panic attacks for years with SSRIs and benzodiazepines, this finally works. I take 3 x 5 mg and started to experience a significant decrease in anxiety and compulsive thoughts, after only 4 days. So far I am happy with Buspar. No side effects whatsoever."


"I have been taking this for 2 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. It works great! I am able to stick to my diet, eat healthier, and have more energy. My friends love it, too."


"So I switched from the pill which was great aside from having to remember to take it.

The NR isn't terrible but I will be switching back cause out how broken out its caused my face to be (i never, aside from the day my period starts, get breakouts) I don't like how much it has increased my discharge or the feel of it rubbing during intercouse. I was hoping this would help with decreasing the emotional effects that I was having with the pill but only a month in and it's the same. Also it wraps around my cervix making it very aggravating to remove or check its position."


"I have been on Lybrel since it came out in 2007. I LOVE this pill! I used to get horrible cramps that got worse as I aged. My cramps were so bad that I would have to miss work. Since I've been on Lybrel, I've had very little spotting and no monthly cramps. Except for the 1 month I'm off the pills every year. I don't know what I would do without it!"


"I have nexoplanon since  2015 April so long enough to be able to share my experience. I have red all these horrible reviews and have to say that remember that everyone is different. I sure can relate to some of them,  but have to say please give it a chance to your body to adjust to new contraception before writing  it off. I have to agree first few months were really hard. I had terrible mood swings,  spotting almost daily and acne. It was hard to be patent,  but I stuck with it and most of side effects were gone after 6 months. I still get a bit more spots on my face and back then I did before implant,  but my periods are completely gone for almost 1 year now,  which I love and mood swings are back to normal."


"I am a 57 year old male and struggled with anxiety and depression all my life but it peaked about 6 years ago.  I began taking the maximum dosage of Wellbutrin 450mg.  I was better, but not 100%. I would still get that "knot in my stomach" when the anxiety would rise.  I asked my psychiatrist if I could try Pristiq since my mother had good results.  He reduced the Wellbutrin and put me on 50mg of Pristiq.  I started feeling better after about the 3rd week and after a month, those negative thoughts, not being able to live in the present, lack of joy all changed dramatically for the better.  To me, it is a wonder pill - with no side effects at all.
"


"This was horrible. I had constant bleeding for 7 months, cramps and headaches. My local Dr. inserted it too deep and I drive 70 miles away to the Nurse midwife that delivered my child so that she could remove it. It took her over an hour to get it out. Scar tissue had to be ripped off it to free it from my arm. I DO NOT recommend this horrible little device."


"Had hard time pretty much since second day. Some people stated you should eat first. Unfortunately,  that makes me want to vomit after taking it. No diarrhea (I took probiotics and ate activia), but weird stools (very dark and frequent). I think my bowels are empty at this point. Appetite gone. Lost almost 10 pds. Difficulty sleeping due to nausea and gas pains. Threw up twice. Little energy. Headaches. Feeling stressed and somewhat depressed at times. Crying bouts in middle of night. What I described wasn't constant. It came and went throughout the day, but nights were hardest for some reason. Tomorrow is final day. Can you survive it? Yes. Is it hard? For sure. If h.pylori is gone, then it's worth it. Be strong."


"I'm 30 and have taken several types of ADD medications since I was young.  I stopped taking Adderall/Ritalin when I graduated from college (about 25 yrs old) because I did not like the side effect, particularly loss of appetite and jitteriness.  I have since had to get back on meds because I have a sales job and I was making mistakes at work.  I started on 25 mg a couple months back and it worked great at first, but has tapered off some.  I wasn't sure if it was still working, but at night when the morning pill wares off and I can't get anything done and I'm super scatterbrained.  That tells me it is working.  I should probably take the doctor recommend evening dose, as well.  Only complaint on side effects would be extreme sleep spells."


"I have been using Finacea gel for over a year, with very noticeable results. I apply in the morning and evening, after washing my face, and before applying moisturizer. I occasionally have some stinging and itching after application, and I have noticed this happens when my skin is starting to heal. It isn't bothersome, and I think the benefits outweigh the occasional slight discomfort."


"I have been taking this for about 2 months now and I have gone from 10mg to 60mg highest, but it is working fine for me for now."


"After being on two different pill birth controls, I was tired of not feeling like myself- unhappy, negative, anxious, crying. I was scared to get the IUD but I pushed myself and it's so worth it. The insertion was painful, but quick and I have a great gynecologist who coached me through it. The worst part was the intense cramps and spotting for the next week, which would return off and on for the following month. However, my emotions are sooo much more stable and I feel very protected. I do have cramps sometimes that are worse than before I had the IUD, but I would take that over depression and anxiety any day."


"Truly exceptional pill! I've been on it for almost a year. At first I had a little breakthrough bleeding, buts that's the only adverse side effect I've encountered. My boobs went from an A to a C, I have no cramping, really light periods that last 2-3 days, and I've had no weight gain. Would recommend to anyone!"


"This is the second time I have been prescribed this drug and it has done nothing but prolong my pain. There has to be something better than this for UTI's, it was not a shock for me to see all of the low reviews on it."


"I love this birth control. My period used to be very heavy and it would last for at least a week of every month. I would be nauseous for at least two days, have cramps so badly I had to stay home some days and my PMS and mood swings were terrible. YUCK! I started Loestrin 24 because I heard it could help shorten my peroid. I have been on it for two years and over time my period shortened until it never lasts more than four days, and it lightened up enough I didn't have to limit my activities any longer because of my need to have a bathroom in close range for days on end. It helped clear up my acne, never caused weight gain, stopped my cramps, and I don't get nearly as moody. I did start craving chocolate like you wouldn't believe though."


"I started taking Lamictal after going to a PHP program. This medication worked really well for me but I was only on it for 2 months because I developed a rash and acne. It made my obsessive and thoughts occur less. I was able to handle situations with more logic and less emotional outbursts. I mean it truly was a great medication. However, my skin has always been clear but it was making me breakout more than I ever have in my life. I also felt like my hair was growing out thinner. If my emotions were totally out of control and life threatening than yes, I would have stayed on it despit the skin and hair problems. However for me it wasn't worth it. I would recommend at least trying it out."


"I have been taking Brintellix for about 1 week now and I have never felt better, I have had not one side effect although I am not as hungry as normal other than that it is amazing. I am less agitated than usual and have a lot more patience I seem to think clearly and life is going back to the way it used to be. I am hoping that my libido will return as this disappeared during the depression.
Very thankful for these meds"


"I have tried two 100mg tablets and split them in half as doctor ordered and it does not make much difference without the viagra. Does not keep erection during intercourse"


"I had been taking 1 terbinafine tablet daily for intestinal candidiasis for almost 2 months when I got itchy red bumps on my legs, which soon spread to red bumps and blotches on my arms and upper chest along with incredible itching . After eliminating scabies as cause, terbinafine was identified as the culprit, since my only other prescription medication was Synthroid, which I have taken for more than 60 years without problems. I've been off terbinafine for 2 months. The bumps have all gone down, blotches are fading, and I no longer have the unbelievable itching, which I couldn't stop even with 30 mg. of dye-free Benadryl capsules.  I will never take this drug again, even though it did help with the candida (assessed by delayed reaction to allergy testing)."


"I was given 5mg-28 day  cialis by my doctor as I've had a few concerns about my sexual desire and ED over the past 12 months. My wife and I are trying for our first child, and the pressure to perform in those few days of the month has been playing on my mind. After taking a pill at 10pm Friday night, I was woken up a few times during the night with a strong erection. Come Saturday morning my wife was pleasantly surprised by a rock hard erection. For the first time in ages I haven't had to think about if my erection Will stay strong during sex, the urge and strong erection is now lasting all day and I can't be happier. I don't want to be dependant on the drug but I had given me a huge amour of confidence."


"Worst birth control ever. I have been bleeding for 3 weeks straight with horrifying cramps that make me nauseous. I have no energy and I sleep all the time. Getting it taken out in a couple weeks!!!! I'm only 16 and I've very forgetful to take the pill but I promise once I get back on it I will never forget to take it again."


"I have been diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (seizures are so fleeting that I referred to them as funny turns). Lamotrigine worked for 4 months and then I was changed to Tegretol Retard which for the last 3 months has been effective.  Side effets were tiredness and a rash which was treated with an antihistamine. "


"My anxiety didn't really cease when I was on this medication. I didn't feel the effects that others have described, but once I got on the non XR I was able to attend school, go to the grocery store, do all the normal things that people without severe anxiety can do."


"Have been on it for 10 years and have had some activity but no major episodes. Downside:  long term anemia and resulted in avasular necrosis and had to have my hip replaced"


"Being on Beyaz has been, for the most part, fantastic. I originally was put on it to control my acne and heavy periods, and shortly after I began using it for birth control. It has continued to help with my acne, and has lightened/shortened my periods significantly, but over the past year or so I've noticed a vast decrease in my sex drive. It's almost non-existent. I haven't been on any other form of birth control, but I think that Beyaz is a pretty good choice."


"Since I started using Seasonique 3 weeks ago, I haven't stopped spotting.  Today my face was so bloated and I had really bad stomach cramps."


"Aczone is the best acne product to ever happen to me! I'm 23 and have tried nearly everything from Accutane, oral acne medications, creams, cleansers, masques, etc. for the first time in nearly ten years I have clear skin! The difference is Aczone. I use it in the morning under makeup or without and it controls the oil and reduces inflammation. It drys out my skin but doesn't flake or peel."


"I have a bad lumbar disc L5-S1 in my low back which needs to be removed. I'm taking Lycria because it helps keep the pain from going down my leg. Lyrica works great. If it wasn't for Lyrica I wouldn't be walking."


"I'm a 18 year old, who has never has a child, and I had Mirena for 1 year, but then had it removed. I'm going to name the pros first. I liked Mirena a lot, because I never had a period, maybe spotting here and there, before Mirena I had my period twice a month, for almost 10 days, and I became very anemic, so not having a period was really nice. It's also a very effective form of birth control, I also didn't have the headaches and tiredness like I did on the pill. Now the cons... I was 105 lbs when I started Mirena, but in a matter of a year I ended up gained a total of 25lbs. It was awful. I had really bad cysts on my ovaries on top of that and still have some from the Mirena. While on the Mirena I had gotten PID, which was not okay."


"I have been on Hydrocodone 10 /500 and Norcos 10/325 for a year. He recently moved me over to Percocet 10/500. I was still taking 4-5 at a time 3 to four times a day and functioning fine, going to school and taking care of my kids without a hitch. I could not afford to take them anymore at 100 dollars with no insurance for a script."


"I got the mirena in yesterday and it was a breeze.  The docs wanted me to do Skyla because its smaller, (but I wanted longer protection).  I haven't had a child, and I've actually had more pain during a pap smear with a nurse.  Trick is to find a doctor that has done hundreds of intrauterine device procedures.  My doctor has done over 1,000 and the whole thing took less than 2 min and caused little to no cramping!  I was so scared that it was going to make me scream but I didn't make a peep.  So far so good. I expect to buy some Proactive and be extra mindful of carbohydrate intake so I don't gain weight."


"This drug is great but the side effects outweigh the benefits. After taking this medication for a couple of months, the anxiety definitely stopped. I felt a lot more laid back and confident. However, horrible side effects settled in... First of all, I gained a lot of weight very quickly. I didn't even change my eating habits. In a year, I gained about 20 kg or 40 lbs. I didn't even do anything different. In fact, my eating habits became healthier. Second of all, I developed chronic constipation. The constipation led to hemorrhoids, which are very painful and annoying. I drank a ton of water and I took some laxatives but nothing helped! Third of all, my sex drive went away. It felt like I was castrated. This was highly irritating! Overall, I think that this medication should be a tool to help you cure your anxiety, it should not be a solution. I stopped taking it after a year and I still feel laid back and relaxed, although the constipation is still present! If you can find another way to relieve your anxiety, it's even better. With this drug, you get what you want but "something's gotta give"."


"It works! Only four days on it and I'm already feeling great. Before all I did was sleep and now I actually go out and do things. No side effects so far. I'm on 150mg."


"Gave this high priced, 12 hour cough "suppressant" in the kiddie version, to my 6 year old. The only thing it suppressed, was his ability to sleep. Worse product I've ever purchased for him."


"I started taking these pills and within three days I started getting nauseous and I couldn't stop vomiting. It was a terrible experience, and I don't recommend them."


"After cleansing and thoroughly drying, apply a thick coat and dab it in. It's incredible once you get past the "itching" phase that seems to occur for most users when initially starting this. I can use it under my sunscreen, but I have to pat on my sunscreen, or the cream peels."


"So I went in on tuesday for a uti but no bacteria showed up so the doc prescribed the generic macrobid and the first pill I took was on Wednesday i ended up having a severe headache 30 minutes later and got a slight fever all day and took the 2nd pill. The next day I woke up feeling great and took the medicine again leaving me with a terrible headache again. So that night I did not want to take it what so ever.  Then Friday came (today) and I went back in for a different medicine and my head didn't hurt really at all but I found out I still had a temp of 100.1. This pill has given me the worst with terrible headaches and a fever. Definitely doesnt work with me. Bdid slightly help whatever I have going on but not as quick as others"


"It works absolutely great for me, been about 4 months. I no longer have panic attacks when taking it. Unfortunately the Dr. only gives me 42- 1mg a month when dosed at 2x a day. I just noticed that one. I will run out before my visit Thursday and am taking one a day so I at least have some productive time. Supposedly it throws me happily manic and full on energy, but I'd rather be happily manic and running around cleaning things than being scared of everything, depressed and just all around unbearable to be near. Right now taking Effexor, Clonazepam, & Lithium. I am now pretty pleasant."


"I started this pill on July 22nd  and received my period on August 1st it's now August 14 and my period is still on and showing no signs of leaving. The first two weeks I was sick couldn't eat and had extreme headaches. Now I'm very low in energy and just ready for this to be over. My doctor tells me that it's normal, I have had a heavy flow since I started this can't be normal"


"I have suffered with hives since I was pregnant with my first child - 7 years ago! I tried everything! Seen an allergist, omitted foods, drinks, soaps - everything. Multiple trips to the ER and steroids. I suffer from migraines but can't take any ibuprofen/advil/tylenol/motrin because they give me hives so bad that my hands swell up nearly to my elbows now. I discovered Xolair and just had my first 2 injections yesterday! Took a while for insurance to approve it. So far I feel fine other than a sore throat, but not sure if that's an actual side affect or my daughter sharing her cold hehe. I read so many of these positive posts and I am so excited to have started treatment!!"


"I'm twenty years old and have a herniated disc, a torn pelvic muscle, and chronic scrotal pain. Some heavy-duty pain. I've tried just about all muscle relaxers out there, and Diazepam (Valium) is the only one that loosens up my muscle spasms I get daily. It's a very therapeutic feeling. It's also nowhere as sedating as other muscle relaxers, which made me extremely groggy. I take 5 mg four times a day and have no need to increase my current regimen. It's wonderful for severe muscle spasms/pain, while also relaxing you. Highly recommended!"


"I have a back injury that flares up from time to time and when it does it requires a significant amount of medication.  I dislike taking opiates but found myself taking way too high of a dose of Ibuprofen on a regular basis and found it no longer working effectively.  Relafen works great.  I do get a slight bit of initial dizziness for about 20 minutes after I take it and I'm a bit drowsier than normal but the pain relief is well worth it.  I sleep great at night, no more waking up or tossing and turning."


"I started taking Xanax .25 mg for generalized anxiety over the past few days and it has helped me feel relaxed, less worried and happy also hasn't affected me with any crazy side effects. (Which I was afraid of happening) I was so scared to take them but my anxiety was getting out of control so I figured I would give it a try and see how my body handles it. I'm going to continue taking one a day since it seems to be helping a lot. I don't worry and I feel calm, the pill does wear off after a few hrs and takes about 20-30 mins to kick in but my dr says it's safe to take another one as needed. I'm also doing counseling too and it is very helpful as well. Definitely recommend this for anxiety!"


"My breasts hurt, I get mood swings, headaches, a lot of nausea which in a way is good because I lost a few lbs instead of gaining weight. However, it gave me depression. On the other side periods are great, very light and no cramps or anything. I tried NUVARING once and I had this horrible discharge so I stopped using it and I've been on Alesse in the past but insurance doesn't cover it. My main reason to take birth control is to prevent ovarian cyst. I hope it works because they are very painful. I think I'm going to keep using it for another month, see what happens. "


"I've been taking Geodon for 8-9yrs after a horrible experience with Zyprexa and Seroquel. Geodon has been a life saver for me. It has changed my life completely. It gave me my life back when everyone gave up hope. It stabilized me 100%. If you knew me 10yrs ago you would swear I was a different person. Nobody I have met over the last 8yrs has any idea that I suffer from mental illness at all. It works that well. I still suffer from morning drowsiness. It's still difficult for me to wake up early. I take 60mg 2x a day and it works perfectly for me."


"It is amazing!"


"I love venlafaxine is so effective its only been the 4 day on it n I feel like i used to b it works for depression and anxiety I recommend any one the suffers from anxiety and depression to try venlafaxine the first 2days is rough but hang on to it and you'll see results its so worth it"


"I was taking the pill for about a year, but felt like I didn't like the mood swings or remembering to take it. I got the Liletta IUD in September of 2015. The initial pain was bearable, and after a few days of spotting, it was over. I have periods sometimes still but usually only every few months--and the bleeding is very light. As birth control, I love it.
But, there are a few things that I don't like
1) my partner is rather well endowed and when we have sex in certain positions, the string scratches him a bit. It may have been how it was put in.
2) I got horrible hormonal acne from it. I went from mostly clear skin to awful and painful constant acne. I went to my dermatologist, and I got a medication that cleared it up."


"Female, 27 y.o., 20mg, also taking Bupropion.
It really helped to "lift the fog" of my depression.  My boyfriend noticed my mood lift within a couple days.  It all but killed my appetite and I lost a lot of weight quickly; 17 lbs within a few weeks, 1-2 pounds a day.  My appetite gradually returned and my weight plateaued.
I experienced a different side effect every day during the 1st week. Numb; dizzy; nauseous; migraines. I quit imbibing because it only made me sleepy with a headache. That may have contributed to weight-loss and eventual regain as my alcohol tolerance returned to some degree. I still get the headaches, though less frequently, and I'll take a headache over crippling anxiety and depression any old day."


"Been on detrol first and insurance dropped it so was put on tolterdine 4 mg 2 times a day all the bad side effects and dementia symptoms started feel that dose was too much going to cut back to 1- 4 mg a day till I see my doctor next month he works 1 month and off 1 month /nice job huh/ hope things goes well for me"


"It made my whole body hurt specially my joints and my ankles"


"Just started this medicine 3 days ago, have been in near constant pain for 16 years. It is a life saver. Only side effects have been trouble sleeping and moderate headache but I feel so much better than on hydrocodone. Feel no pain at all. Energy is boundless! Has helped my depression and I'm not as hungry as usual. Very happy with product."


"Of all birth control methods I've tried (depo, pill, condoms, mirena iud) this is by far the most effective and least stressful for me. All methods have side effects, but I feel most confident with the nexplannon implant. Downfall: extremely tender breasts and a little discomfort at insertion site ."


"After 2 hemorrhoid surgeries, this product was a life changer! I took the step to not let my hemorroids control my life anymore. The dr prescribed this as part of my after care. Its immediate and wonderful."


"Have been on this medicine since February following a lumpectomy. After reading the other posts I now realize the stiffness and soreness in my hands might be s side effect. Happens every morning. Also have severe flushing and sweating which is new with me. The worst is the swelling in my feet and legs..severe at times. I am now aware all of the above started after February. I will discuss it with my oncologist. Very thankful for this forum."


"I had been on Levora for about 5 years.  My insurance put me on that from Levlen (which I had been getting at PP when I had no insurance).  The first few years were great- didn't really experience any weight gain, acne increases, moodiness, etc and it prevented pregnancy as it should.  In the last year or little more though my experience changed. Levora absolutely started killing my sex drive to the point where I couldn't care less if I had sex, lubrication was very low and it also took longer to climax.  My doctor switched me to Junel Fe and after 1 month I'm far happier than on the Levora.  I'm not sure if my body changed, how it reacted but it certainly didn't like Levora at the end."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthiritis at 22. Enbrel is great, helps a lot. Just like what everyone else says. The real reason for the review is I've seen on here a few people that complain of the cost and the impact it has. No one needs to suffer because of the cost of this medication. There is a program from Pfizer that helps cover the cost of this medication. I don't know how anyone could afford it without the assistance. Look it up at Pfizer. I'm sure most of you know this, but for those who don't, it's more than worth looking into. I pay $10 a month, way better than $2500."

"I have been taking this BC for over 3 years now. When I first took it, I didn't have my period for 2 months, and then I had it for 2 months straight. Since then, I have had my period every two weeks for the last 3 years. On the plus side my periods have been light. I just got the new one installed in my arm 3 weeks ago, and I am not as pleasant as I normally am. I haven't gotten my period yet. Just a little light light spotting. I actually didn't want to take it again, but I was rushed to get on a new birth control."


"Amazing for chest infection. I had been tight and congested with fatigue and aches. Within a day of first dose the phlegm started to break up allowing me to cough the mucus out of my lungs. I feel so much better!  It doesn’t always work due to virus/bacteria thing but I can usually tell the difference by how I feel and this time I was right. Zpack was needed and fixed me. No terrible side effects for me."


"I began taking Saxenda on 11/3/15 weighing in at 252 lbs....today I weigh 227 lbs!!  25 lbs in a little over 3 months!!  I am excited.  I know that is only about 8 lbs a month but that is good...I have always heard that you need to take it slow. I have tried every diet/weight loss program that you can imagine and nothing has ever worked for me.  I am 43 years old and I was tired of my quality of life being so miserable. I however have it a plateau, I haven't lost anything in the past 2 weeks.  I plan to start doing some cardio to hopefully increase the weight loss.  Any suggestions would be helpful!!  Since I began taking this med, both of my daughters and one of my son-in-laws have reverted to using this as their daily life style as well."


"This drug did nothing for my pain and caused such severe problems that I could not remember words, it causes brain synapses issues!"


"I don't feel right,  I can't focus, I don't want to workout which I love to do, I don't want to drum which i love doing too. I felt great on biphentin despite the anger I tried concerta for a day and hated it"


"I have had Nexplanon since October of 2016. Shortly after I got it I had a light period/spotting and then I have had no periods since November. It's been 4 months with no bleeding which is great. However I don't like not knowing when it will start or if it will ever regulate. I am a sensitive and emotional person by nature, but for the first 2-3 months I was on this I was extremely hormonal and moody and almost no sex drive.  I am still more hormonal than normal but it has decreased some and levelled out. Also the my sex drive is still lower than normal but has come back and levelled out as well.I was considering getting it taken out before my moods and sex drive returned closer to normal. I recommend trying this, but give it time."


"I'm 18 years old. Completely afraid after having unprotected sex, I took plan B about 27 hours later. There was no ejaculation inside, but the risk still runs with pre-ejaculation. Only a couple days late, I started my period. I had no side effects at all from taking Plan B, but I did make sure to have it with food. Ladies, I'm not sure if it worked for me, or if I was even at risk of getting pregnant, but take the necessary precautions. The stress, the fear, the unpreparedness, it isn't worth it. Always keep it safe from STDs with protection, anyhow. Plan B is a back up plan, use birth control and a condom! Good luck and relax! Stress can delay your period! <3"


"I can't rate the product because I can't get the cap open!!  This is ridiculous!  I will never buy this product again!  Is this some kind of a sick joke? If I could give this product a 0 I would!"


"I am the type of person who is sensitive to chemicals, smells, sounds, etc. I rarely need meds and recently had to take bactrim ds for five days due to a UTI. I was sooo nervous about taking it. I was convinced I would be allergic to it, or at least have side affects. Well, all that worrying was for nothing. I took it as prescribed for five days with no problem at all! I hope you do well on it too if you need it!"


"I mean I'm not pregnant but I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight and this new period started just a week after my normal period had ended. I'll pass........."


"I had cancer and went through a year of treatments .. the chemo threw me full force into menopause... and just when I thought I was getting back to normal...I had major depression and awful anxiety.  It was very debilitating - I was angry and crying all the time.  I started on 50mg of Pristiq and it helped slightly within a couple of days.. the anger went away, they upped my dose to 100mg and almost 6 weeks to the day...it was like somebody turned the light switch on.  I had no side effects at all and best of all I feel completely normal not drugged or off center...just GREAT!"


"I'm on day 6 of a 7 day treatment, and I'm throwing in the towel. I've never had such terrible side effects. Severe dizziness, insomnia, dehydration,  irritated bladder, racing heart, anxiety, constant bad taste in mouth. I barely had any BV symptoms to begin with, so the meds have felt like unnecessary torture. Never again."


"Works very well for me."


"I am aged 39 and since 2 months or so I started to lose erection during sex with my wife and she told me to get myself checked. I had little depression but I have had worse depression before but never had erection problems. It slowly started to get worse and then in time it  wouldn't even get a little stiff.  Luckily, my friend happens to be a Doctor and he gave me a sample blister with 4 pills. He advised me to take 20mg but I went against his advise and took half pill (10mg) and got an erection after 20 min just sitting watching TV. Had a long sex and still want to go again. Very little eyes flashing and nasal congestion feeling. It is worth it guys!"


"I was never into birth control so I have 6 kids. My oldest 7years old. I tried depo shot after I gave birth in November to my 6th baby all natural vaginal births no epidural.  This was my first time  it was the shot on the booty and arm. I have had nothing but aniexty no its not my kids i never felt this way before and I gained ton of weight more than I usually do after a baby I weigh 160 I usually get down 140 3 months after I give birth. I've been bleeding nonstop. I decided I didn't like the shot I'm getting tons of mood swings more than the ones that I  get from pregnancy. I'm just going to tie my tubes. It's a nightmare. It's May now so from November to May I've been bleeding. I went to check my hemoglobin its fine - its just depressing."


"I started taking Forteo and within 3 days was having side effects (nausea, loose stools, increased body aches and mental confusion). My Dr. asked me to stop for 2 weeks and try again and if side effects persist then I may have to stop all together."


"Was prescribed for my knee after a torn ligament.  Was not helpful then. Just tried it again for some muscle pain in my neck again no relief."


"I had been on Wellbutrin, which worked great for me but my insurance would not cover the cost and my insurance does cover Celexa so my Dr. switched me to Celexa to see if it would work for me. The first 2 weeks I felt great! I had tons of energy and just felt really good. I did have some mild nausea but not something that I couldn't handle. After 2 weeks I started feeling extremly tired and went from sleeping 6-7 hours per night (the most I have ever slept at night) to sleeping 10 hours a night. I also feel really tired and just blah all day. I got to the point that I just feel numb and stopped caring about anything. Dishes and laundry piled up, don't care. Family needs dinner, don't care. Needless to say I will be switching meds!"


"Hi i have been dignosed with bi polar in 2006. I have been on a lot of meds. I was on depokote for over 10 years worked amazing. But then I started to have liver issues where my enzymes would jump to high levels. not good. Then they put me on abilify omg that medicine did not work at all I wound up having a manic episode and it sucked. Now I'm on lamotrogien and wow this medicine is working and it saved my life and I have had no side effects. I am so happy "


"Before minastrin my periods were extremely irregular, fairly heavy, and accompanied by cramps strong enough to cause vomiting, acne, breast tenderness, and headaches. Minastrin was a miracle. My periods now only last 2 to 4 days, are extremely light, and they happen at the same time every month and never on weekends. I never gained weight either. The only negatives that I've noticed are the first week of pills I was nauseated every morning but that passed, it causes some mood swings that my parents noticed as well, and my cramps haven't fully gone away but they are much more manageable due to regular period and only last 2 days instead 4. With these negatives though I strongly recommend it."


"An update I been on Saxenda for 3 weeks I'm still on 1.2 dose a day. I'm so happy started at 224 and I'm at 212 which means I'm down 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I recommend this medication to get you started on a healthier path. My side effects have completely disappear so now I'm really comfortable with my dose I'll increase this week and see how it goes."


"In February of 2008 I was diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension due to a rare side effect caused by Minocycline prescribed to me by a dermatologist. This medication, along with my lumbar puncture, has stopped my vision loss. The side effects have been very difficult at times. I have experienced all of the common side effects including loss of appetite (lost 40 pounds), tingling from hands to elbows and toes to knees, and intestinal problems. Brain pressure remains high but vision is saved. Over-all just glad to be alive and without a shunt. Be well."


"Started on this medication during its study phase.  Just makes me real tired and in a "fog" in the morning.  If still up an hour after taking it I sometime feel "drunk", balance is altered."


"Magnacet is a life saver. The pain relief is unbelievable when taken with my other presriptions. It does make me a bit light headed and drowsy but since helps with the pain it is well worth it."


"I got the liletta March 14, 2017 after I gave birth to my first child on January 21. Procedure was very quick like 5 minutes but the pain I have experience since doesn't seem to be worth it. I have spotted every single day since I got it which I hate because I don't like sleeping wearing panties sometimes but have to wear a pad 24/7 now and bad uterine cramps. My uterus sits to the back so I also get bad back pains as well. Every time I go to ER they do an ultrasound and say everything looks fine. The strings are very long out my cervix and I've had discomfort during sexual intercourse almost every single time. Seems to be effective for preventing pregnancy so far. Just a lot of complications to adjust your body to."


"So I decide to get Implanon after using the pill and getting pregnant while taking it. After I had my son in 2008 I had Implanon inserted. In the beginning I had terrible terrible mood swings. I was always angry and impatient, and I thought this would pass. I still get the mood swings but not as often. So I can't say if I am just crazy or if it is the Implanon. The reason why I am not a big fan of this is because when I got pregnant with my first child I weighed 170 pounds I gained 12 pounds during pregnancy and dropped it almost immediately. Got pregnant again gained 19 pounds, lost 9 pounds by the time got the Implanon put in. I am now a lovely 202 pounds, so on average using this product I have gained about 11 pounds a year."


"I am on Remeron and have suffered extreme anxiety for 3 months. Started in October and it is now nearly Christmas 2011. It has been the worst experience of my life. On Tuesday I couldn't take it anymore and went to my psychiatrist and said 'I don't care if he's busy, I'll wait'  Long story short, he suggested Abilify. Two days and no anxiety, none, zero, nada. Actually, I got substantial relief with the first 2mg tablet. Honestly, today is Thursday and the 3 month nightmare seems to be completely over."


"The patches stopped working so this was last on the list to try. Dr. gave me a sample to try. Not very effective and Way Way overpriced. Will be trying compounded version. Wake up drug companies there are a lot of us baby boomers suffering from menopause who will not go quietly into the night. Especially when we're expected to keep working until 66."


"I had my first outbreak over a year ago, been taking 400mg a day and haven't had an outbreak since."


"After 15 years of suffering from all kind of behaviors and agression we found the best neaouroligist in the world who cured my son from autisum, and it was a cure, if he was able to control the bheavior then he cured him to me. My son took 7. 5 abilify in the morning along with 2500mg of depakin chrono
at night he took one 25 mg seroquel and depakin and 0. 25 clonozepam..My life has changed life is beautiful once you find the right combination..Abilify is a good medication. I love it"


"I take 180mg. Once a day. It is a wonder drug. It helped lower my blood pressure but it  also helps with my headaches. When I feel a migraine coming my doctor gave me 120mg for the migranes and I lay down for an hour or two and my migraine is gone."


"This medicine probably saved my life. After being misdiagnosed with severe depression, I had been on a high dose of Prozac which led me to a near suicide attempt. Switching psychologists, I was diagnosed with bipolar 2, taken off of the Prozac and put on this medication and almost immediately noticed a difference. They told me that I shouldn't feel a difference until at least 150mgs but I felt it at 75mgs. I'm currently on 400mgs which is usually the highest for treating bipolar. It is also used to treat epilepsy, and people with epilepsy take thousands of mgs a day, so it I felt safer when experimenting with it. The only reason I gave it a 9 is that it doesn't completely hold me over when I have overwhelming emotions. Adding Trileptal now."


"I suffer from anxiety and depression.  Doc suggested this drug, crying daily, filled with terror.
The only thing it did was stop the daily crying and provide an odd clarity.
Severe depression at week 5, after having gone up to 10mgs after 2 weeks of 5mgs.  So many side effects, nausea, headache and terrible depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, diarrhea, constipation, ear ringing, withdrawn.
I will note that I am very sensitive to antidepressants, have tried mirtazipine, seroquel, one day of pristiq and one day of cymbalta....all of which made me incredibly anxious/panic stricken/irrational. Amytriptoline is the only one that I have tried at a low dose for IBS that agreed with me, up until migraine auras in week"


"I have suffered from headaches for about 20 years, until I found Fiorinal with codeine.  I have NOT had a headache since! This works great for headaches and I am finally free. Thanks to whoever came up with this cure for headaches."


"I too am in constant pain mobic worked wonders but stomach wouldn't tolerate it. My dr gave me 7.5 twice a day instead of 15 amazing results."


"Helps me sleep through the night for the first time in my life. The first time I ever took it I made the mistake of not going to bed right away so I did have some hallucinations. They weren't scary, but I make sure to take it only when I go to bed. There are some definite sexual side effects, much to my husband's good fortune. It all seems like a vague dream when I wake up. It's probably a good idea to only take it when you're living with someone you trust!"


"A minute after inserting the first depository my area shown there started itching :( more so than it did before! I googled if this itching was normal and came across this website w reviews and was glad I'm not the only one experiencing them. I just wish i would've read them prior to spending $15 for this and used it to go to the doctor instead! This is a waste of money."


"I originally had implanon years ago when it came out. I LOVED IT! it was great. never gained a pound, never went through any side effects and never got pregnant. When the 3 years was up, I had it removed and went on the pill because they didn't offer implanon anymore for whatever reason. In December, I had nexplanon placed. Thinking because I did so well with implanon (after my Dr told me they were exactly alike). Wrong. Between horrible weight gain, fatigue and mood swings, I'm so done. made an appt to have it taken out. CANNOT WAIT!"


"I was prescribed Viibryd for anxiety. After two weeks I feel calmer and less overwhelmed. No increase in sex drive like others have mentioned yet. Mixing with alcohol, even a small amount sounds dangerous and I do hope I can have a drink occasionally. Hoping it continues to help me."


"I have been taking this drug for 4 weeks so far and I am highly disappointed. I have an ovary cyst and I need to block my period completely for several months to see what is happening (cyst is growing with each period). Instead, 19 days after my last period, I got slight bleeding, than it got growing and right now I am having almost 10 days of light bleeding, while taking this without a break. I paid $45 for it. I have never ever paid this high amount for 3 X 21 birth control pills. "


"Hey ladies!! STOP WORRYING!! The more you stress the nervous you get. I've taken this pill twice and was afraid if it wouldn't work the 2nd time, but it did!! This pill is a life saver! I had unprotective sex on July 4th and wasn't sure if he came in me or not, but I wanted to be sure. So I went and bought the pill 7 hours after sex and took it instantly. I had no reactions towards the pill and received no symptoms. I felt bloated and nauseous at times and wanted to ge my period ASAP! But it never came...after waiting for 5 lonnnnnnggg stressful days, I finally got my period!!!! I'm sitting on the toilet as I'm writing this review and I see blot clots and I'm receiving horrible cramps, but I'm super happy that I can finally stop stressing!"


"It was very disappointing when Zoloft and Ability didn't work for me, but Prozac began working within 4 to 5 days of taking. This medicine is working good for my OCD."


"I got the nexplanon implanted on December 1st 2016. I have had non stop bleeding, when I got it I as 102 now I am 124, I have very bad mood swings, and I'm constantly tired. For the past month or so my stomach has been non stop hurting and causing me to puke. I got on this because my mom insisted I get on birth control and I saw that my cousin had it and it worked for her. She ended up having to get it removed because it moved around too much and hurt. I couldn't do the pill because it made my stomach hurt and I don't like shots. It is now July 5th and I want to get this thing removed. I talked to my doctor about two months ago about this and he said just give it a couple more months. Needless to say I am getting this removed. Do not recomd"


"Cipro gets a bad rap. It is the ONLY thing that knocked out my terrible sinus infection. I would take it again for sure.  IT WORKS."


"I have been taking Gabapentin for about two weeks now, starting at 300mg at night which knocked me out! I had been having terrible pain in hips and legs, and sciatic pain at night, and tingling/ numbness in hands in the morning. It made me sleepy the first week but now starting to get used to it. Still a little clumsy but getting better. Now increased dose to 300mg at bedtime and 300mg in the morning after breakfast. I feel so much better now.

Side effects other than sleepiness are not apparent so I am much encouraged. Thank you Gabapentin!"


"completely stopped vaginal dryness."


"If I don't take it my skin feels like something is biting me and I itch all over I get very agitated and I can't sleep or sit still or focus my attention for a normal amount of time"


"This is the first medicine that actually ALWAYS gets rid of my migraine with minimal side effects. It's like a miracle as far as I'm concerned."


"I have been on every medication. I was diagnosed with Bipolar when I was 16. I am now about to turn 35 and have never been as stable as I am now since I started neurontin. This is the first time I have had success for my bipolar disorder. And even helps me with my depression. Somehow I get out of bed every morning which rarely ever happened. I am able to take care of my children now. And it even seems to help me with my pain."


"I started taking Lo Loestrin 1 year ago this March because j was getting married in June, plus my periods were horrible. I had a little bit of acne but that soon cleared up and my skin was flawless. I didn't have a period for about five months and then I started having breakthrough bleeding every two weeks lasting one week long so my doc changed me over to Junel. I didn't use to be so emotional, but now I cry for no reason. Also, my stomach feels bloated and I have a bad case of acne on my upper back :(    What do you guys think I should do: go back to lo loestrin or stay on Junel and just get something to clear up acne? HELP!!! :("


"I'm 29 with two daughters, 2yrs and 2mo. I got an IUD after my first daughter and it was horrible. I spotted the entire year! The pain reminded me of labor pains, so I decided to try the patch since remembering to take a pill everyday with two kids in the house seemed impossible. I have been on the patch for about 6 weeks and I will say this, the patch is doing its job, I am not pregnant! But the tiredness I feel is unreal! Literally, I can barely keep my eyes open all day long. I get random feelings of nausea throughout the week, but nothing a few tums can't fix. The headaches seem to always come on the day I put on a new patch, again nothing unbearable. However. The tiredness is driving me insane I really hope it goes away with time."


"Well even tho I read the comments I still decided to use it. Ummm it's about 3 hours in and I'm just feeling anything. I can't say it's a burning but feels more like peppermint is on it. Like a intense cooling. But definitely not burning. On the other hand I am having some cramps. I really hate cramping! Hopefully it works! I guess I don't have a sensitive vag after all lol."


"I started Victoza about 5 weeks ago.  Now I have seen about 20 lbs come off and moved the belt notch from the middle notch to the last position (and will need a new belt soon).  Nausea has only happened about 3-4 times and was mild to moderate.  Blood glucose level has settled from 170 to 130 over the last 2 weeks.  Eating behaviors have changed dramatically.  Most meals are 4-5 bites and I push the plate away being fully satisfied.  It has been quite a shock learning how to eat more wisely and that I can "push the plate away" instead of feeling compelled to finish everything on the plate (Yes, I raised 4 kids).  I am hoping to lose about another 35-40 lbs."


"This was not as bad as I thought it would be, although, I still have one more dose to go.  The key for me was using super cold ice water to mix it, use two straws at the back of my tongue, holding my nose and only stopping when I needed a breath.  I was able to down it pretty fast.  It took about 45 minutes for my first movement and it was almost like a normal stool, then nothing else for like 20 minutes, then (hang on it's about to get real) it was like pee.  This has lasted for about 4 hours for me.  I'm hoping this stops soon so I can sleep a little before I start the 2nd dose at 2:30am. I wonder if it's possible to sleep on the toilet?"


"Very effective. "


"As a 33 year old, well conditioned athlete, I had missed periods for over 6 months.  My body fat percentage is extremely low and probably the cause of amenorrhea.  I am on the last "active" pill now of Generess Fe and have changed no other factors in my life since starting this medication (Paleo diet, Crossfit & running).  I have gained 15 pounds in the last 23 days and have never felt more uncomfortable in my own skin. I have taken birth control in the past and never had such an awful experience with side effects."


"I've been prescribed Klonopin (1mg twice daily) for literally years and have yet to encounter another panic attack as of this writing.  It's effects are amazing and while my physician keeps close tabs on me, I've yet to encounter any tolerance to it's effect.  Since my anxiety and panic are so debilitating, I'm prescribed it with both Effexor and propranolol and honestly couldn't feel more any more normal.  I hate to be tied to the medicinal 'ball and chain' but I'm finally freed from years of worry and panic and can now proudly state that I'm back to normal and living the challenging life I was meant to confront without a single twinge of anxiety/panic.  For me, it could not get any better!  :)"


"Alprazolam really works I have had anxiety attacks and headaches. This has helped me so much. Now I take 0.5mg a day and feel so much better."


"Quetiapine's great but definitely take it at night otherwise it can cause a twilight type of drowsiness over the day."


"I took Coversyl 8mg for 5 weeks, and finally had to stop. The lightheadness would start
about an hour after taking the pill in the morning (about 8:00AM), and would continue for
the next 11-12 hours until the drug's effects wore of for that day. Some days, it was so bad I could not drive my car. Also, my appetite decreased, I had a terrible taste in my mouth, and it did NOT control my BP as well as they advertised. Finally, I said goodbye to this tablet and went back to my good old dependable Avapro 300MG, which I taken for 8 years before my cardiologist convinced me to go to Coversyl. What a mistake."


"After reading endless negativity reviews, I feel almost guilty to say how big a fan I am of Otezla.  I developed mild to severe psoriasis around 33.  Tried all the ointments, cortisone injections, laser and light treatment options with light/temporary relief. Started  Otezla 1/1/17, had immediate positive results.  Little nausea at first along with slight headache & bowel issues, all side effects subsided within a couple of weeks.  Haven't lost any weight.  Not depressed or sad.  In fact, quite the opposite - due to clear skin/confidence I'm happier than I've been in years.  I'm 99% clear!  Never thought I'd be able to wear little shorts & be at the beach with clear skin again.  Big fan & feel blessed.  Hope this helped if you're on the fence"


"Took .5 mg in am and 1.5 mg in pm for 7 days as prescribed for anxiety. Unfortunately, I experienced a paradoxical reaction to this medication, resulting in extremely high anxiety, depression, irritability, etc., which led to a stay in the hospital. I know paradoxical reactions are considered to be rare - just be aware if you take this med and you feel worse, talk to your doctor right away."


"I have had migraines for about 12 years. Maxalt is the only drug that works and it works fast. Only problem is my insurance will only pay for 10 a month and when my cluster headaches come I eat through them like candy."


"I was on depo for 10 years. The only side effects I experienced were a complete lack of period (which I think is great) but a reduced sex drive as well. There were also concerns from my doctor that I may experience bone density loss due to extended depo use. After some thought I went with the arm implant because it seemed fairly noninvasive compared to other methods. So far so good. It's been about a month. I was told if I had a positive depo experience I should have a positive implant experience because it's the same hormone with a different delivery method. I still don't have a period ( I actually like that) but I had a bad bruise at the insertion site initially, and a month in I can still see and feel the implant and it's sensitive."


"I have been taking Maxalt for migraines for the past five years.  This medication is the only one I have found that really takes care of the migraine and any residual headache. The generic ones don't work for me. "


"I woke up this past Thursday with food poisoning.  I was going to the doctor for some MRI results and told him that someone had given me leftover food from a picnic and there were a lot of mushrooms!  More than one type too.  I had vomiting and nausea so he gave me a shot of Zofran.  I started to feel less nauseas immediately after the injection.  I bought gatorade on the advise of the doctor.  Then I slept quite a few hours.  By Friday I was feeling 90% better.  I did some research and found out I had all the symptoms of salmonella mushroom poisoning."


"I've been using this medicine for about a month an its great, no side affects, no weight gain like others, and sadly no breast enlargement but overall its really good. I had super bad cramps and now I have none, my period is regular, complexion is clear. Cheap and I recommend."


"I have been taking citalopram for less then a week now. I have most of the side effects insomnia , feeling detached and more anxious. The only thing that is keeping me going is the positive reviews on here. I know that it is meant to get worse before it gets better but do people know how long this takes ? The first 2 days I took 20mg and felt quite out of it so I went down to half a pill 10 mg for a couple of days. Now I am back on the 20mg and still feeling quite rough. Tried to go out and carry on with my normal life and fainted while I was out. Don't think that's to do with the pills but my overall condition of feeling stressed and weak. I am praying and hoping this works."


"I have tried almost every type of birth control out there and this is definitely my least favorite! I initially gained weight when switching from the ring to the pills and then switched to Levora from Sprintec and it's been a disaster. I gained more weight and can't get rid of it despite dropping to a 1200 cal/day diet and running/walking at least a mile 4 x week. I also have lost my libido almost completely (bad for a soon to be newlywed!) and have acne I haven't had in at least 6 years."


"Partially effective on its own, but effective when combined with sertraline (Zoloft).  Only side effects are racing pulse & ridiculously expensive."


"Helped me a lot, non addictive, but some times it keeps me half sleeping and half awake at night time, otherwise its a great drug for its calming effect. Thanks"


"Hi, Using fentanyl for spinal stenosis and colon cancer. I really can say enough how well it works. I have no side effects. Fentanyl gave my life back to me, I lived on couch for 5 years. Its just enough to make pain bearable without getting high. 50 mcg/hr. There is one thing I want to pass on. I cant speak for any other state. I have random urine tests and have no problem with the tests. But I come to find out I am on VT narcotic users data base. Who cares right? Wrong when looking into this data base I am listed with all the druggies. Their is not a separate list for prescription users. As far as this list goes being mixed with drug abusers is just wrong.   An nothing can be done to change this data base."


"In my particular case, famotidine does not seem to relieve my symptoms on a consistent basis."
