"I have suffered from excessive underarm sweating since I can remember, probably around 13 or 14, (23 now) and It was always something I just dealt with. I would wear sweaters or tank tops but never T-shirts. Even with heavy sweat shirts or cardigans though You could always see sweat marks under my arms. I finally tried Hypercare and I've been using it for only 3 days now, and NO sweat! Okay a little moisture here and there but nothing like before. I can wear T shirts and even more importantly I am not constantly uncomfortable. It really does work, The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because I haven't been using it very long. I hope it continues to work this well. I personally did not experience the burning and itching most people do."


"I'm 65 and in good health, average in most ways, sexual activity declining at a normal rate as I age. Nothing to worry about until the last year or so when my erections stopped coordinating with my desires. Not a total disconnect but sex became somewhat an embarrassment for me. Erections would come and then just disappear and weren't very good to begin with. I either couldn't keep an erection or I climaxed at midway(P.E.)  I reluctantly brought this up to my Dr. and he says "oh yeah, everybody your age has that". He gave me a sample pack of 200mg. caps and said try one, it's the latest thing for that. So I took one. Worked in 15 min. Best erection in years, like a miracle! Seriously."


"Hello everyone,

I started this birth control back in January of 2016.  I needed to take birth control because I just started a new relationship. Anyway, when I first took Microgestin 1/20 and after a few months of taking it (about 6 months) I went to my doctor and she gave me 1.5/30. The reason why I went to my doctor is because my periods were not regular with the 1/20. I would get my period sometimes and it was my emotions were out of control.  My doctor recommended 1.5/30.

My first few months of 1.5/30 were good. I was more emotional, easily frustrated, moody, etc. Thats to be expected though. Now I am a year in with the birth control and I can say that everything is going good so far. Periods are regular, and no baby!"


"I was diagnosed bipolar II a little over 4 years ago. I was manic for a long time, I'm talking 2 years. With episodes of extreme depression. I wouldn't take my medications and ended up in and out of several mental health centers at several hospitals, well over 10 hospitalizations. I was a reckless mess. I can't even remember a lot of that time period. I was losing everything along with my mind- I was gone without a doubt. I saw this Dr yet can't remember his name, while in the hospital and he was so nice and didn't want to sedate me like I had been in the past. He put me on lamictal for the first time. This was 3 years ago. It saved my life. Works within the first week. Seriously the best mood stabilizer ever."


"I'm a senior with a low fixed income. I am ever so grateful to the Sensipar assistance program. I have very high calcium levels and this medicine has cut it in half, I used to get very disoriented, confused, overwhelmed but now with this medicine I feel close to normal. I have had a great experience with this medicine  and have experienced no side effects. "


"30 years of Xanax at 1mg 3x a day. I miss the passion that my husband and  I have but my body is numb. I have a my perfect husband so I pretend. Xanax will RUIN your sex life and take a lot from you if you take it for years like I have. They hardly work at all now and I am having lots of problems trying to stop. Beware because at first they are wonderful. "


"I am currently on my 3rd month and every Month I have had 2 horrible periods.  I have never experienced  such heavy painful.periods while on birth control.pills. I take my pills at the same time every night so that is not the problem.  I have also been having some  emotional  issues  which may or may not be related.

I will be talking g to my Dr about switching"


"Worked well."


"I am 21 and this is my first birth control pill since I got married. I've been taking it for 3 months or so. For me, it does an extremely good job with controlling my heavy periods, decreased cramps, bloating, fatique...etc etc. My periods are super stable and significantly less painful. However, the side effects I have gotten are decreased sex drive and mood swings. Even though this is only two side effects, it really affects my marriage (go figure). I am stopping this pill soon because I cannot stand the how emotionally unstable I am!"


"I have only taken this for 2 nights. I am a zombie, and it is now 4:30 am and I just awoke from the most disturbing dream I've ever had. "


"I am 25 years old. Not on birth control 2 years prior to taking this med. I just finished my 3rd month and everyday I have migraine, headaches and become dizzy for most of the day. I am switching.
On the other hand I used to feel nauseous around my ovulation, this med fixed that. No weight gain. Acne diminished.
But the migraines get in the way of school and work."


"I was on this birth control for 1 year, and I really have no complaints about it. The only thing that bothered me in the beginning was that I would get so nauseated at night after I would take the pill, but after a month my body got use to it and I had absolutely no other problems. The only reason I am having to switch is because my insurance isn't covering it, and its a little to expensive. But I would recommend this to anyone."


"I knew it was risky to take an antidepressant given my symptoms but I was having trouble in my daily life and needed help. I began taking Wellbutrin XL 150 mg and for the first week I felt an increase in suicidal thoughts, tremors, and psychomotor agitation. It felt like I was going to die. After that week, my psychiatrist added Klonopin to help control these side effects. Since then, I have had an improvement in quality of life, which is all I can ask for."


"The only reason I gave this birth control a 2 was because it made my periods last two days and my acne wasn't as bad. That's the only good thing I have to say about it. It has my anxiety come back, severe nausea, bad acid reflux, migraines, mood swings, insomnia, depression at times, and extremely tender breasts. It's hard to go off someone else's experiences cause everyone is different. "


"This medication is a God send. If I didn't get put on this my life would still be upside down. It makes you sleepy a lot of the time."


"Been on it for five months. At first, didn't notice any change. Now I find myself daydreaming less. Concentration hasn't improved much, but I'm less impulsive and think things through more than I used to. Instead of having thousands of thoughts at once, I now only have hundreds. I like it it helps me."


"My 15 year old son has been receiving injections of Avastin, directly in his eye, for nearly 5 years now. It does not cure the macular degeneration, but it restores his vision temporarily for anywhere from 3 months to maybe 15 months. It has managed to save his vision in the affected eye, at least temporarily, and hopefully a cure will soon be found. He suffers no side effects, and has even gone straight to school afterwards (his choice)."


"Works great and makes for an awesome sleep"


"I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety for 9 years and have tried every medication under the sun and nothing has worked until now! I feel normal, not drugged and best part is no anxiety or depression. I take 10 mgs of this with 1 milligram of Risperdal daily for bipolar disorder and I get so much accomplished its ridiculous! I'm okay with being alone, I don't feel like I need a man or a miracle anymore and my expectations are more realistic. I look forwarding to coming home which is something I used to dread as I have 3 young children, 1 with autism. Prozac makes my job as a single mother so much easier!"


"I had the Implanon inserted on July 24, 2009 and had a little bruising, but nothing too serious.  Two weeks later I had a very painful period, where I couldn't get out of bed, literally! My period usually lasts 3-5 days, and on Implanon it lasted almost 2 weeks.  No it wasn't spotting, it was still bright red blood.  But 6 weeks later, I am still spotting! I have changed my eating habits and work out 6 days a week, and have not been able to drop a pound! I have no sex drive either and have had more acne in the past 2 months than I have ever had in my life.  "


"Loved this diet pill! No side effects and it worked. I lost 20 lbs in one month. Very upset it's off the market. I only used it that one time, but if ever needed to loose weight again I would want to use it again!"


"When I was in my 20s I had a pneumonia shot and they said I would never need another one.  My doctor insisted I have this new one.  I didn't want it and he knew it but a nurse was standing there with the shot and I let them administer it in my upper right arm towards the back.   The same day, my arm was useless and I had to hold on to it as it hurt so bad.  I kept trying to get into the doc. but was turned down.  I only lived a block away and went into his office but would not see me.  This was, guessing, a year and some ago.   My arm hurt that much for a week and then started to be able to move it.  But, the shoulder joint of that arm is still very painful.  I am in therapy for my right arm.  Rapid heatbeat and breathing too."


"I'm 17 and have struggled with depression, ADD/ADHD, and severe anxiety my entire life. A couple months ago I started getting worse and recently I've become extremely suicidal and the pain inside was debilitating. I never thought an anti depressant would help but finally reached out for help. Today was day 1 of 150 mg XL. I didn't expect to feel anything yet, but I am completely astonished by how well I feel. I haven't felt like this in longer than I can remember. I had become a slug and felt dead. But today I have had so much energy and motivation. I haven't cried today and that's something I've done every day lately. No suicidal thoughts. Seems to increase libido. No serious side effects that I can see yet. So grateful for Wellbutrin."


"One pill is plenty for me and I'm a big guy. Don't expect a miracle in five minutes. I take it late in the evening  before bedtime and before noon the next day it's working. I drink plenty of liquids (not milk) when taking it. If I take more than one pill, it gives me cramps and diarrhea . I find that eating foods with plenty of fiber (25-30g/day) and drinking plenty of fluids (fewer dairy products) eliminates most of my constipation problems. When I get off that diet I tend to have the problem again. I also take some Metamucil daily, "after" a good BM, mixed with juice or water which gives me lots of additional fiber . This works for me, hope this helps! For serious problems I would recommend seeing a doctor."


"I've been on this for about 6 months and have had a very positive experience, except when I started taking it my bleeding continued for about a month. I had some mild cramping, which I didn't even have to take Advil for. I got on this pill for endometriosis, usually I have debilitating cramps and severe proctalgia fugax during my period and not have experienced any of that. My only symptoms are breast tenderness for about the first month and I've gained a couple of pounds at the most. No acne. Highly recommend!"


"I'd been on Victoza for over a year. I never lost any weight. I didn't really see much of a difference in my A1C's, but kept taking it because my sugars at least weren't going up. My current A1C is 7.2.  A couple months ago, I started having major bloating problems, including nausea and occasional vomiting. It progressed to a hospitalization for chest pain (ruled out cardiac) and then to GI who did UGI as well as Gastric Emptying Study and showed Gastroparesis. OMG!! The GI doc said Victoza is notorious for causing this. Thank God my case is reversible because I caught it early enough. Of course no more Victoza for me!!!"


"This is my first and only birth control I've taken. Never felt a need to change birth control. Never had any pregnacies and didn't experience any side effects other than gaining a few pounds in the beginning (which I didn't mind at all because I am pretty skinny). This pill is awesome"


"I have suffered with depression since I was a child but of course I didn't know it then. Alcohol and drugs became my only salvation. Eventually I had to get sober. Still depressed. Had a relapse that lasted 4 years. Sobered up again. 18 years sober and still suffering that back cloud with anxiety on top. Tried Depli 3 months ago. I didn't expect good results since I've taken so many antidepressants over the years. I felt better the first day. I feel like normal people feel. I have hope, motivation, freedom. I am completely happy. I know this has not been everyone's experience, but it's mine, and for that; I'm eternally grateful. If your insurance doesn't cover it file an appeal. If you can pay cash it's only $178 for 3 months or pay monthly"


"Hospitalized for 5 days with DVT in both arms.  During my stay I was given lovenox and warfarin.  Upon discharge, I visited my regular MD and was put on Xeralto.  Thirty days later I was admitted to hospital again, but with DVT'S up and down both arms. I would not recommend anyone to take this medication.  I had a horrible experience, not to mention scary experience while being on this medication."


"The only problem with Lyrica is the expense and the problems getting my insurance to approve it!  The medicine itself has done wonders for me.  I ache, yes, but no where near the way I was before.   It's been a lifesaver for me."


"I had mine put in on Sept 25. I was just coming off the depo shot and starting to spot. I had the implant put in and afterwards the area was extremely painful for about a week. I am more fair skinned and so they told me I would bruise more. As soon as the lydocain was administered i had already developed a small bruise. By that evening my arm looked like it had been hit with a softball. Since then the needle insertion point has continued to be very sensitive. It seems like my body is trying to possibly reject the implant and is push one end of it out and the skin is raised there. Here it is 6 weeks later this Friday and i'm still spotting and now slightly starting to cramp. Giving more time..."


"After getting out of the hospital following a heart attack, I was so constipated that nothing I tried would help me to have a bowel movement.  I tried everything that others suggested, even ate prunes dried and boiled, finally, I found a  bottle of children's castoria in my medicine closet that I kept there for my children. I took the Castoria, and was relieved to have a bowel movement within 12 hours.  Thank you Castoria!!!  The only side effect was that I have been regular ever since!"


"I had little to no side effects. It elimanated one tumor and slowed the grouth of the other."


"I have just started taking this medication but wanted to share my thoughts so far. I do find myself very energetic and ready to work out. And if you are looking to get this med cheaper I found a coupon for ten dollars "


"I'm not sure if I exactly needed Plan B, but I stressed after reading forums about pre cum having sperm in it, so I bought it and took it 27 hours after the unprotected sex. I was so worried but once I got my period I thought that I probably had nothing to worry about in my situation. So I'm writing this review to share my symptoms to those who like me were worried I didn't get many of the symptoms. So my symptoms started about the next day after taking Plan B. I was bloated, and I felt a pain near my left ovary, cramping, and breast tenderness. I did not spot up until my period came which was a little under 2 weeks since taking the pill. I hope this helps you in your quest to see if you could be pregnant."


"I'm a 47 years old man that had NEVER ever in my life had taken an anti depressent.  I have always had anxiety and would take xanax as needed .25mg. First few weeks of February I had a lot of negative things happen in my life and my anxiety went through the roof and I was borderline depressed. My Dr Perscribed me Lexapro 10mg. THAT WAS THE WORST 8 DAYS OF MY LIFE. I got upset stomach. And in the first 3 days I started talking to myself and had suicidal thoughts and aggression.  I was absolutely scared out of my mind. My anxiety worsened to the point where I couldn't sleep for 3 days. I was literally dying inside. So my Dr stopped it. Then withdrawal set in. 5 days later I'm coming out of it. I'm on seroquel now. MUCH BETTER. Actually helps the anxiety."


"Getting Mirena put in was such a concentrated and intense uterine pain that I almost passed out right there on the gynecologist table. Mirena was fine at first, but VERY shortly after I had it inserted, I started experiencing a thick, off-colored discharge, and an odor that would knock out Mike Tyson. I had it in for three months before I had it removed. The discharge and odor didn't go away for months. When I finally visited my gynecologist who told me I had gotten Bacterial Vaginosis. It was easy to treat. "


"I switched to FE 1/20 from Sprintec birth control and it's been nothing but hell. I don't know if it's my body that's reacting so negatively or what but I hate this birth control. It hasn't even been a full month and I'm already on the urge of losing my mind. I've been crying almost everyday, snapping at people feeling depressed and hated..it's unreal. I've never been so sad in my life. My headache also gotten much worse than before. The only positive is it made my boobs bigger and period lighter."


"I have been on this drug for around 6 months for depression. Aside from the side effect facial odema (after 2 weeks so mild you wouldn't know it's there) this drug has been perfect for me. It has improved my mood a lot.

To begin with I was able to sleep perfectly. Taken with quetiapine (400mg) I was getting over 8 hours a night for the first month or two. However now that effect has gone and I'm needing benzodiazepines to get any sleep at all.

The weight gain has been a blessing too. Before mirtazapine I lost 14kg in a month. I'm now nearly back to my previous weight, though again the quetiapine may have something to do with it. While 4 months into it I lost my appetite again, I'm still eating and that's the most important part."


"I had very irregular periods, so my doctor put me on this pill to help regulate them. My periods come like clockwork now, which is very nice considering I've never had that. They haven't become lighter or shorter in length, which I was hoping for. They are still 6-7 days with heavy flow and lots of cramping. My acne has also increased a lot. I had some acne before taking the pill, but this is the deep kind that can take weeks to heal, which I rarely got before. I also have been pretty emotional since starting it, but I won't entirely place blame on this pill as I stay pretty stressed regardless, but I think it could be related. I'm going to switch soon most likely."


"Still having hot flashes at 73.

Used Prempro for 30 years but doctors would no longer

Script it. 4 months now on 10mg Paxil and loving it. Had some minor GI issues but nothing serious. I'm happy without hot flashes and I seem to have a better out"


"I have been taking varying doses of Hydrea for over 9 years to control Essential Thrombocythemia following a thrombotic event directly related to the ET.  At the time of diagnosis, my platelet count was over 1,000,000 however under regular monitoring and occasional dose adjustment, I have been able to maintain a stable and normal ranged platelet count.  Side effects have been negligible to date."


"This medication totally changed my life. I was previously suffering from intense suicidality and intrusive thoughts, overwhelming social and physical anxiety. After about 1-2 weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. After 4-8 weeks, things were 100% great. My job isn't the best job to have in the world, but I feel happy to get up and be productive and am proud of working hard. I am happy and confident and wish I would have known about it sooner. The side effects have been minimal, a little bit of restlessness and waking during sleep, not 100% sure if it's attributable to the medication. Overall from my experience I would completely recommend it."


"I am in my 40's. I wanted to try this pill to control my very heavy periods. I was a little worried after hearing all the stories. I had a little bit of break out bleeding in the second month but other wise no side effects. The first few months I had a light period for 2 days each month. I only needed pantyliners. I am on my fourth month and I had no period. I highly recommend this BC. It worked great for me. I love it."


"I am in my late 30's and have struggled with alcohol since I was in high school. In one way or another, I can connect alcohol to every major problem I have had in my adult life.  Whether it has been interpersonal, financial, legal, or health related - alcohol has been the source of my troubles all throughout my adult life.  About one year ago I was prescribed Baclofen to help with my sciatica.  Little did I know that this medicine is also prescribed for alcohol withdrawal.  Without even being conscious of it, or putting in any effort into quitting drinking, I just stopped.  The cravings just vanished and before I knew it I had gone a few weeks without a drop.  I have been on it since and have never had a craving in all that time."


"Its good and I am satisfied. Easily available in Saudi Arabia"


"I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar II after being told I had Depression for about 2 years. My doctor prescribed me WellButrin, which I am still on and love. Following, I was put on Prozac to "take my edge off" and I took it for 2 years but it gave me horrible nightmares and I am now off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Latuda. I have been on it for about 3-4 weeks and have loved it. Before I was diagnosed with type II I had no idea why I would be so upset one day but feel great with an abundance of energy the next day. It was my cycles. I cycle very frequently, however, the Latuda has helped me stay constant and stable. I don't get upset over stupid things anymore (and they were stupid) and now have a better capability of letting things go."


"I've been using brintellix for 3 months now - 20mg
- Depression is almost completely over & back to work
- Side effects still ongoing - dry mouth - weight gain - stomach bloating - abdominal pain ( less frequent now) - dizziness

Looking forward to reduce dosage & slowly getting off it."


"MAOIs surpass all other groups of contemporary antidepressants in my biased opinion. Unlike other medications , parnate enriched me with clarity and motivation, and just simply made me feel better. You adjust to the effects over time but it still makes me functional where I was once disabled. I owe this venerable chemical my gratitude, despite the one horrific yet transient reaction I've encountered on it."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over a year ago, after many years of chronic pain, insomnia and fatigue.  Sleep study showed no stage 3 or 4 sleep so the sleep I was getting was not good sleep.  I am on several medications now to stay awake during the day, control my pain so I can continue to work and more medications to sleep.  Restoril has helped in all three areas."


"I had 3 UTIs this year so far, first in February, got cephalexin prescribed, for 7 days .. It returned in June, got prescribed ciprofloxacin for 5 days... It had returned in August... I asked the doctor why this is happening?? She said they prescribed me the wrong drug at first time, the first drug was resistant to the bacteria I had. (Really? Why do we pay doctors for???) so i got Bactrim DS prescribed now, I'm on day 3, got for 5 days. I weight 100 pounds, so I try to take the pill with activitia and yakult, that helps with the upset stomach. I felt as side effects, dry mouth (because dehydrate you), loss of appetite, tiredness, fast heart beating. Hope this works for me, can't be sick anymore because of doctor mistake!!!"


"This was very bad for me.  It just stopped my thoughts and feelings.
 I also had a lot of side effects from this tablets, like shaking hands and I had no feelings.  I went through my day doing my daily routine but had no thoughts and felt like a zombie.  This tablet made me worse than before I took it."


"I am a 34 yr old female. 5'5". Started Contrave with Scale down program on March 3, 2016. Starting weight 231. Today June 21, 2016 weighing in at 189. Starting pants size 18. Today a size 10. I have PCOS with insulin resistance. I cannot take the full dosage of 4 per day, as it is increasing protein in my urine. I only take 1 per day in the morning. I had no side effects when I started this medicine. I do not exercise only increased my daily activity. I use the My Fitness Pal app from UnderArmour. I try to get 10,000 steps per day and stay below 1200 calories per day. So far I am amazed with my progress and stunned that I have made it this far with only one pill per day. I would definitely recommend."


"I started using micronor because I heard it lacked estrogen and I heard it was a healthier method of birth control. I'm surprised by all the poor reviews because I had absolutely no problem with this pill. I'm 5"4 and 120 pounds, and I never work out. I had no weight gain, no depression/moodiness, no lowered Lobito, etc. So don't get scared off by the reviews, everybody's different. I combined this medication with a condom, because I've heard its common to get pregnant on this pill. For that reason I'm ending my use this month (after 8-9 months) and switching to the combined pill Alesse, because I wanna try condomless sex with my partner. Give it a try :) you can always stop using it if you have issues."


"I have been on bc since I was 17. I first had  nuvaring for 4 years and then I heard about seasonique and was excited about having only 4 periods a year the first month (January 2015) was perfect no spotting no weight gain no period. half way into February I started spotting and thought ok this may be normal after two days the spotting stopped... it returned four days later and I continued to spot up until the end of March when it was time for my period! I started a new pack and everything went smoothly no spotting until the week before my scheduled period. started a new pack in july and everything was ok. I started spotting really heavy on July 31st and my period isn't supposed to come until the END of September..should have stayed on nuvaring"


"I read about the Sinclair Method a few years ago, but it took me several doctors to finally find one to prescribe Naltrexone. It is only FDA approved for use with abstinence, which is why most physicians aren't likely to prescribe it per the Sinclair Method. I finally found a psychiatrist who agreed to try it with me. I split the tablets for the first two days to get used to it. I noticed its effects immediately. I take one tablet one hour before I feel like drinking something, usually in the late afternoon. I don't really feel any different after I take it, except that I have a much lower "craving" and I drink about 30%-80% less now. Sometimes makes me a little queasy or tired, but I haven't had a blackout or a hangover since. I love it!"


"Today is my first day using Retain A 0.04% microderm Gel. I work in a pharmacy and the Rph told me when using this gel I have to also use clindamyacin 1% lotion before the gel. She also told me to use minocycline 100 mg capsules as well. Anyway , she said it will work alone but will work excellent together( gel & lotion). Then the capsules will top it off. My face (due a thyroidectomy that was performed) was always CLEAR. Within 6 months I had a lot of scars and pimples galore . I tried Epiduo, Nuquin, proactive, RX for brown skin, no7  everything but my hormones are out of wack. Hopefully this combo will work. Will keep ya posted."


"I have been taking this for 2 months now.  The first month I still had several horrible headaches.  This second month I have yet to have one.  Which is fantastic for me.  I am having a slight problem keeping my emotions down.  I seem to be very sad and lack energy.  I am hoping that this will level out with time, because it works fantastic on my headaches."


"I have been off this medication for 2 years now and I havent seen any acne. I look in the mirror and it surprised me how well it works"


"At 60 years old with needle like pains and over 30 years of generalized anxiety it took two weeks of a little fog. I started taking at night 30mg. I am the guy I use to be today. Not worried about getting off because I'm not. I have tried it all and for depression caused by pain will fix this. Give it time. I put an X on each day and quit after a month. Smooth sailing."


"This was prescribed to me for bladder spasms and I took it for a couple months and it did nothing but make the spasms worse. It actually made my pelvic floor muscles so tight that I had to push to urinate. I've tried it on more than one occasion and it was always an unpleasant and unhelpful experience."


"I had acne towards the end of middle school going into high school and by my sophomore year it was really a full blown problem. My cheeks and my forehead and almost every part of my face was covered in acne. After trying antibiotics and creams for 2 years I was recommended Accutane. The first 4 months I did not see that much in results but when the 5th month hit it was intense. My face cleared up right away and I look like a completely different person! It was amazing. There were downsides though, the depression that it causes is real. I have been off the medication now for 3 1/2 years with my skin still looking great."


"I am a 20 year old college student who was working full time when I started taking this medicine, Vyvanse. At the time when I was first given this medicine I was about 140lbs and I'm 5'7". And after about 4 months of taking the Vyvanse I weighed anywhere between 115-120lbs. Not good! The medicine made me totally not eat and run around like I was on drugs and couldn't sit still. I became so skinny I could see all of my ribs. I also felt like I had lost all emotions and the relationship with my parents were harmed because of this. I think part of the problem was the doctor just upping my dose whenever he felt like it and not being very responsible. But I just want to warn anyone who is thinking about taking Vyvanse to be careful and have a doctor who cares."


"I've been on this pill for several years now. I used to get debilitating cramps and ovarian cysts that put me in the hospital. So I love the pill for that...but now, the pill is the reason for my dead sex drive. And I don't know what to do. I have spoken to my doctor and my obgyn, and nobody seems to care enough to help me. I hate condoms, I can't feel anything. Just frustrated now..."


"They make my anxiety go away instantly. They let me feel normal around other people. Comfortable in my own skin. Lastly they give me energy to get through my day, like I

Used to."


"I had moderate to severe acne which affected my self esteem immensely.  I would not leave my room without makeup caked on and even then I felt terrible about myself.  I tried absolutely everything before accutane.  Literally everything.  This medication changed my life.  I am acne free, and its been 2 years since I ended my course of accutane.  The only side effect that has stayed with me even after 2 years is my piercings and other thing take 10 times longer to heal, some piercings haven't healed at all in fact.  But apart from that, it is the best choice I have ever made. This medication is a miracle, seriously, its worth the shot.  It cleared up my acne to the point where I now have perfect skin.  This changed my life."


"Although Drysol does work it is also very painful for me. When I apply and even hours after, I have pain in my armpits. They are completely bumpy with red rashes and the burning is the worst part. The morning after I apply it , the redness dies down and so does the pain. The sweating does go away and this product would be perfect without the horrible side effects it gives me! Overall I feel that the product is not worth the pain I go through when and after applying."


"Little effect even at 20 units 2x a day."


"I was on implanon for exactly one year before I got it removed. I did not like this birthcontrol as I had horrible side-effects. I chose this birth control because the only birth control I've been on was Depo the shot, which I got every three months, so I thought three years that's great. However after about 6 months I felt as though I was losing weight, I had what felt like constant spotting, so my menstruation  never stopped it felt like and my libido was in over-drive. So the doctor said one year to the day I got it took out and went back on the shot, where I'll stay."


"I have been getting injections for my edema for years. Last time I was at the derms office I got samples of eucrisa...best stuff ever. I have used so many other topical ointments without success...

This has been like a miracle drug. Problem is my insurance will not cover it..so I c annoy purchase the full tube. My samples are gone!!"


"This medication was extremely effective at stabilizing my moods.  The problems that I had made it so that I could not continue on it and therefore needed to rate it so low (because of the severe side effects).  First off, I literally  saw double for several hours after taking it.  Do you remember the Wrigley's double mint gum commercials?  Well literally that's what I experienced.  It DID go away after several hours afterward but was really weird and gave me a headache when it happened every morning.  My skin, especially my lips, would get numb and tingly.  The biggest problem though was that it gave me constipation so bad that nothing I ate or took could alleviate it.  The ONLY way I could EVER go is if I took a heavy (not mild) laxative."


"I have gotten pregant two other times on other types. After two kids i decided to try a new market product. I have had no adverse side effects besides little to no period. Ive had the nexplanon in for over two years. During 2016 i do want to replace it and stay on this one. Very effective with all my medical conditions."


"I tend to get really bad cold sores when I get sick, sun burned or chew my lips too much. After battling the flu a big sucker popped up, covering almost half of my entire bottom lip. It came on a Thursday and was completely gone by that Sunday. The only drawback is I still got the cluster of blisters - it's almost as Denavir draws out the virus and kills it fast. Fastest cold sore relief I have ever used!"


"I started Topamax on August 18th and my life has changed! Today is September 2nd, two weeks without a migraine is a miracle. I’m on 50mg. At first I was having a hard time at work. Brain fog is an understatement. But I would say it’s gone now. Within the first week my sensitivity to light disappeared. I actually started crying tears of joy while driving because I could finally see in the day time without migraine. And same thing at night. I don’t have to turn the mirror up anymore. I can see! I occasionally get some tingling in my hands and feet but not bad at all. I will update again on my progress/side effect in a month or two. Good luck to everyone. This has been such a blessing for me."


"I'm taking Spronyx now after switching from Lo Loestrin Fe and It's only been 2 weeks and I'm already noticing major side effects. Vaginal dryness, itchiness, burning... Pain while urinating and just overall discomfort. I hate it I'm going to make an appointment soon."


"I've had the implant since Feb 2016. Before that I got the depo shots and decided to switch because I did not like the depo. I have been VERY impressed with the implant and how it has been for me. I spotted one time in 2016 and it was about a month after I got the implant, I think it was just because my body was just trying to get used to the horomones. I cramped for a week, and only bled for a few days. As of today (mar 2017) I was cramping all day, low and behold I started my period. Now I am not complaining considering I haven't had one for over a year, but I am hoping this will be just like last time! I do recommend it!"


"I had eye pain migraines and nausea. I lost weight because of the nausea also."


"I have only been taking this medicine for a few days to replace Seroquel and I feel good but very jittery at 80mg pm. I gained a lot of weight on Seroquel and my blood tests were not good. My doctor said for some people Geodon is "activating" at this dose and he raised it 20 more mg and said maybe I would feel calmer. I have read reviews of people getting sleepy - I hope I get sleepier! I have a great doctor-that also makes a difference!"


"I have Emphysema, because I worked in a school swimming pool, and therefore was in contact, with Sodium Hypochlorite--which is Chlorine in it's neat state---. At a routine medical was found out to be deadly allergic to Chlorine, and so had to leave the pool. Living life with Emphysema, is hard. Augmentin--or Co-Amoxiclave as it's known by in G.B.. which is where I live, but find U.S.A. web sites more giving with easier to understand articles.  As I said C.O.A.D.  is hard to live with and I get frequent chest infections all year round, but find Augmentin is the all round Antibiotic for me, as I don't get any side affects, so maybe I'm one of the lucky ones that way. It is easy to take, and very easy to break in half, if you find it big ."


"Stage 4 endometriosis. I've been on Lupron for 3 months and will get another injection next week. I've had a few hot flashes, about 1x/day occasionally, but not everyday. I have stayed below my original weight by about 5lb. Some moodiness/occasional depression. But overall I haven't had any major problems! I was very worried about side effects before starting Lupron, but am glad I did it. I want to be healthy! I'm getting married next weekend also so have been planning a wedding at the same time. We're hoping to get pregnant next year!"


"Started this med with serious apprehension due to bad side effects of other SSRI drugs, but WOW!  What a difference.  It takes nearly two months for things to balance out but I feel like my self again.  Euthymic (normal non-depressed, reasonably positive mood) with in a normal range and anxiety at a normal level.  I have done two job interviews and started a new job with no panic attacks.  Please remember that medication is only one part of recovery.  I have practice mindfulness daily as well as see a counsellor to tackle the route of my problems but this medication has allowed me to function again..........happy"


"I had Nexplanon placed in January 2015. It was basically a last resort because I got pregnant on birth control pills, gained 80 pounds on depo, nuvaring didn't agree with my body & my mirena IUD dislodged itself and almost perforated my cervix and vaginal wall.
I didn't get a period until May 2015 then it came every month on the 15th. Bleeding was lite to heavy and varied a lot. December 15th I started my period and am still bleeding now. I was able to lose 50 pounds on this birth control. Bleeding is the only kinda down side in my opinion. Overall I love this implant."


"Started Rapaflo three days ago.  Stream improved after first day.  Retrograde ejaculation today.  Some stuffy nose and some bloating stomach pain in evening.  Debating whether to continue.  Generally don't like medicines and do not take anything else.  Would like to have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia corrected surgically but am afraid.  Will give the medicine a little longer before deciding next course of action."


"Developed a serious DVT blood clot in the arm that broke loose into a small PE in my left lung.  I spent 3 months on Xarelto (3 weeks at 15 mg/twice a day and then 20 mg/once a day).  Completely recovered from PE and arm clot during that time and felt great (no side effects from Xarelto at all!).  3 weeks after quitting Xarelto, I developed a massive bi-lateral PE and found out I have Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome.  I'm now back on Xarelto (and will be on thinners for life) for a little over a month.  The PE has cleared up and I've returned to hiking.  No side effects/symptoms at all from the Xarelto.  Despite a few bumps and scrapes while hiking, I don't even have abnormal bleeding/bruising!  I'm guessing this is due to it's short half life."


"I have used ranitidine for indigestion for many years and it still works just as well."


"I've been using Copaxone since Nov 2011.  At first, the skin reactions were painful and sometimes, the sites on my legs are more sore than other sites.  However, overall, it's better than Avonex, which I'd been on since 2006 (5 yrs).  I don't feel as tired and don't have the flu-like symptoms.

I use the autoject device which works well.  My only challenge is to remember to take the medicine in case I get out of my normal routine, such as after a dinner out, etc."


"I been using Adipex for 1 week and already lost 10 pounds. I do drink lots of water and exercise at least 3 times a week for an hour."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months now and I LOVE IT! At first my moods were wacky and my boobs hurt really bad but I'm finally adjusted and it's amazing. No accidental pregnancy. And LIGHTER PERIODS!! This pill is a winner in my book."


"It has made me irritable, socially awkward, has not helped my anxiety, makes me light-headed a for a bit after I take it, and gives me the general sense that something is "off""


"I am much improved on my Fibromyalgia which I have had for 35  years.  I have taken all of the drugs mentioned plus more.  I have had a spinal fusion and have have other discs that are deteriorating.   So I continue to take pain and muscle relaxing medicines, primarily for those.  The only side effect is that I have had mild constipation. I use Hydro Therapy at my local Physical therapist facility.   This had been a big help in many ways.   I have only had two days when I thought my Fibromyalgia was back.  I say thank you, thank you to the makers of this medicine."


"I took 2 pills twice daily and after 10 days my urine flow was lessened.will try lesser dose.I think I% gave me an appetite but just small amts was ok. Just concerned abt the urine flow."


"I took 2 of the Ducolax pills last night around 8 pm, I should have known better, as I did this about 4 years ago and ended up taking an ambulance ride to the ER, after cold sweats, horrible cramping, nausea, & horrible bleeding from the rectum.  I guess I thought this time would be better.  I awoke around 4:30 a.m. with horrible stomach cramping, cold sweats and a feeling that I was about to faint.  I woke my fiancee to let him know that the medicine was making me very sick & please don't let me die if I passed out. (Yes, I felt that bad)  Ran back and forth to restroom about 10-12 x and finally worked.  I have back pain all day, like I'm in back labor and I feel sick. Never ever again!!!!"


"I have had nerve pain for years. I've had 3 back surgeries from 2011-2014. Also FM and MPS diagnosed in mid 1990s. PAIN has controlled my life for years. I have been on all the opiates and muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety drugs and Neurontin, etc that doctors thought might help. I am very sensitive to medications and the side effects from anti-depressants cause more depression than relief. So, to try another drug was scary for me. I saw a Rheumatologist, and he dx my Arthritis called DISH in my spine. He recommended Lyrica. I finally saw my PCP MD and said let's try this drug. From the 1st pill I had almost total nerve pain relief. I am so amazed! After all these years I feel wonderful. The side effect of being "Happy" has been a new feeling"


"After several wrist surgeries, I developed severe tendinitis on both sides of my wrist. For 20 years, I've been living in pain 24/7. These pain patches basically feel like happiness surrounding my wrist. I still have pain but it is at a much more tolerable level. I have my life back.  For me, the patches work better than pain pills. They are covered by my insurance at a higher co-pay. And, with each prescription, I have to go through this whole prior authorization wait period. Get samples from your doctor to test them out and make sure they work for you. If they do, then fight the insurance. For my wrist, I am able to cut the patches into 2 halves and makes the prescription last longer. These saved my life."


"I think this is the only antipsychotic that has worked for me. I was on risperdal previously and it didn't work that well except that I made good friends and was nice usually but I was always really paranoid or psychotic when I'd do all nighters for school and thought there was a serial killer outside the window. invega is much better though and I don't get that paranoia anymore or the really scary type of paranoia anymore although I get scared sometimes but it doesn't stop me from doing things. I'm on 12 mg of invega and 300 mg of lamictal. Im not doing the best because the lamictal should be at 400 mg to be optimal. I wasn't able to tolerate too high of a dose of invega at first because it made me really tired& sleep all day but I can now"


"Lutera left me exhausted, and I felt nauseated all the time. Yet unlike other birth controls I've tried it did not give me nasty mood swings. It made me feel calm and pleasant. My breasts grew at least another cup size, which some would consider a positive, but I've paid a lot of money for a breast reduction and do not want large breasts! So overall, it was great for my mood but left me feeling so tired and sick that I just couldn't stay on it."


"Was diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome several years ago and prescribed Plaquenil.  While taking Plaquenil I had no difference in my symptoms.  After doing years of research I believe that I may have been misdiagnosed and actually have a parasitic infection (not malaria)!"


"I am only putting this out here so it can help others that have been or are in my same situation. I was seen 4 days ago for which I thought was a UTI. It was extremely painful and they prescribed be Bactrim, a 3 day supply. After taking 3 pills I was getting worse. My doctor finally called me back and wanted me in right away. I had literally no control over my bladder. I was in excruciating pain, and couldn't help but cry. The doctor told me I had tested positive for an STD as well as a UTI and I was on the wrong medication. I was given the Rocephin shot and prescribed another antiobiotic. It is now day 2 since the shot and I feel much better. I'm still in some pain but I'm hoping it goes away soon!"


"I have been on Depo-Provera for 11 or 12 years and love it. I started out with very few periods and all of them were very light.  Now I normally will lightly spot or clot before my next shot is due. Now I never have any periods so it's been great. The only problem I've had is just recently, for my last shot I went to a different doctor and they gave me the generic version which caused me to bleed very heavily and severe cramping so I know to never use the generic form again."


"i got skyla inserted back in october of 2015. Cramped a bit during insertion but it wasnt a big deal. Didnt bleed at all until my period. Period was much lighter than normal but spotted for a whole month after. Then got my period again but finally spotting subsided after my normal period. My periods now are much lighter than before.. spotting for the first two days, then two days of regular bleeding, and then another 2 to three days of spotting. I love that I don't have to worry now about birth control and even if i forget that it's that time of the month, the flow is so manageable that even when it comes unsuspectingly, its not a big mess. I love not having to worry about birth control and its making my periods shorter and lighter."


"After having my second baby, I got my period back at 6.5 weeks postpartum even though I EBF! My periods were really heavy after my first child so I wanted to be on the pill to decrease my menstral flow. Since I'm breast feeding, my doc perscribed me with this mini pill and it has been the worst birth control medication I have ever been on. I am getting my period twice a month, with each cycle lasting about a week. It's ridiculous! I just finished my 2nd month being on the pill and I am stopping now. I would rather deal with the heavy flow then the 2 times a month flow!"


"I was suicidal and depressed for months. Feels like years. I'm on Wellbutrin as well but have been for years with no improvement. Latuda at 40 mgs has changed my life in 3 weeks. I'm not manic. I'm just normal and happy. High stress situations don't make me spiral, setbacks aren't out of proportion and damn if I'm not in awe that people live like this naturally and take it for granted."


"I took this pill for 2 and a half years for my heavy periods, I recently switched because my new insurance won't cover this one. The first month I experienced little to no side effects but month two was horrible. I had severe headaches, dizziness, constant spotting etc but I waited it out. The symptoms all went away by the 3rd month. From then until I got off it, it was wonderful! It made my periods really light and only lasted around 3 days. I used to have horrible cramps and nausea but on this pill I had no nausea and the cramps were very little, I almost never had to take medicine for the pain. I did experience some weight gain though, 25lbs in 2 years but I also didn't eat too healthily so I'm also to blame. Altogether, Good experience!"


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


"I started Victoza about a month ago. Started with 0.6 for a week than increase to 1.2. I felt nauseous the first week but just off and on and mild. Each day over the last couple of weeks I have become more and more ill. My numbers not only did not stay lower as they did when I first started but they have actually increased. I have a headache non stop and haven't lost a pound despite not eating much due to being so sick. I stopped taking it a couple nights ago due to not being able to even sleep. I was waking in the middle of the night feeling like I was going to vomit. I still feel nauseous but it's getting better."


"Cipralex seemed to be my lifeline for the first 4 yrs....the last 4 years was another story. It seemed to have really assisted with my sluggish, tired and empty feelings. I actually felt so consumed with depression and anxiety and stress over weight-gain this last year. Now, against my doctors wishes I have weaned myself off 20mg in a month. I've asked her to help wean me off numerous times. Instead, I would be told its not the right time....ie: going through divorce, custody battle,  deaths in the family or financial hardships. So I put up my dukes and went for it. Mind you, she added Wellbutrin to my mornings 9 months ago. I am positive that it has helped with my withdrawal symptoms. A big cry baby...but I'm sure that will settle itself."


"I was prescribed Strattera for ADD 40 mg. and I was only on it for 6 days. I was warned about the side effect of having nausea and to eat before taking meds in the morning. I started Strattera on a Saturday morning and by that night I had diarrhea so bad that I thought I would have to sleep sitting on the toilet, I also had the feelings of being constantly angry,  I had really bad headaches, depression,  tireness, it worsened my anxiety and any time I would eat I ended up on the toilet for quite a while.  I was put on Strattera to help me with my ADD lack of concentration, etc,  needless to say, it didn't work what so ever. My poor butt thanked me when I quit taking it, hahaha."


"I took Abilify for a month and it was not for me. It first made me happy, but it made me too happy! I became manic again and couldn't settle myself down. I would be up at 2 am working out or cleaning. Also, the side effects were awful! My hands never stopped shaking and people began to think I had a drinking problem due to the way they were shaking. It also made me gain 5 lbs within a week. Not a fan."


"Excellent success in relieving symptoms from hyperemesis gravadarum."


"This drug has done wonders for me to lead a normal life.  Like some, I was treated with high powered drugs oxycontin, fentanyl, and all the others for back pain.  None of the high and most of the benefits for my back pain.  Wonderful for coming off of other opiates with proper medical supervision."


"I had cellulitis near my ankle. Upon application of this drug I experienced severe burning, bumpy rash on both legs and arms. Resulted in nerve damage near my ankle/site of cellulitis. Beware!"


"I love Maxalt my doctor gave it to me about 4 months ago. After years of no relief my migraine was gone in 20 minutes! I admit I get extremely sleepy after I take it but a 1 hour nap and I'm back in business. Much better then four days of blinding pain that's for sure it is very expensive but I contacted my local clinic and they had me fill out some forms and received a free 6 month supply at which time I can reapply. You can also try contacting the company online they may help depending on your income."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste is dreadful. I actually couldn't get the last swallow of the first dose down, but did get the 32 ounces of water down over a period of time. I am very thin, so drinking all of this took time. It took me 45 minutes to get the first dose down, seriously it made me want to hurl. Then it took the prep about 2 hours to start working.....as I type this it is still working and it's been close to an hour now. To borrow a line from the movie, "Bridesmaids", "it's pouring out of me like molten lava!" So yes, this definitely works. Not looking forward to the next dose and praying it doesn't take so long to work."


"After 11 years, one pill this morning. Just ate lunch, no diarrhea yet. Maybe I can start living again."


"hi / i started the pills on tuesday, 26 april 2016 / i have read all the reviews and no one said that you should only be on the medication for 30 days / then off / my doctor told me that I could use it again after 6 months / so twice a year / also, before he would give me the script I had to have an ekg / which I had / I do not think much of your doctors if they did not give you the ekg / I have lost 7 lbs so far / I do not eat after 6 pm and only drink milk or water"


"I am currently experiencing negative side effects which include headaches,
dizziness, sneezing, runny nose, lips tingling, joint and muscle pain.  I did not experience these symptons while I was taking Benicar HCT and Amlodipine."


"I am a 25 year old Hispanic woman and I have been on this pill for almost 2 weeks now. The first few days of taking this BC pill I felt so energetic it was almost like an energy booster for me. I was so happy and full of energy with in the first few days however I did notice a little bit of acne and soreness around my nipples the first few days. As the days went by my acne got better and the soreness disappeared. I think every BC works differently for every body. I did not gain weight at all which is sad because I was looking forward to gaining weight since I have not been able to gain any weight in years. I weight 103 and my height is 5'0 I am so unhappy with my weight, but as far as the pill its been working great for me I love it."


"I get yeast infections often.  Recently, I've experienced the hell that is thrush!  I thought only little ones got this, but I was wrong.  I tried the Rx mouth wash and there was little to no change.  So I asked for a Diflucan pill because it's always worked on my vag yeast infections.  What do ya' know, within 24 hours there is a marked difference, and my poor tongue is getting some relief.  Great med, love the one dose system, and it works for me."


"I love this birth control. I was on Microgestin for almost a year but I started to develop unpleasant symptoms around my time of the month so I switched. When I get my period now, I bleed maybe 3 or 4 days and only experience some mild back pain. I rarely cramp or get bloated. After the first two days are over, it's almost as if I'm not even on my period. The acne I got from the other birth control has cleared up also. I've been blessed with light periods all my life but this birth control seems to work very well with me."


"Did not work at all"


"Viibryd has changed my life I was so lost I had actually forgotten how it felt to smile and laugh . My only issue is due several injuries I have suffered and the cost of my doctor visits and other medications that I am taking it has been quite a financial hardship I wish this medication was lower priced ."


"This is the best treatment for my panic issues."


"First time on birth control (bc) and I am relieved to not have had any major side effects after taking this bc for a month now. The first day I took it I felt a little nauseous but switched to taking it before bed and now don't feel anything (even if I forgot the night before & have to take it in the middle of the day) I did get two pretty big pimples the first week but no physical changes besides that. I THINK I'm on my period now (end of first pack) but very very light bleeding & no cramps."


"I was diagnosed with anxiety and major depression just over a year ago. I am a 19 year old female and have a very difficult family situation. I first tried Cipralex which made me really irritable, then I tried Wellbutrin which gave me a rash. I was then on Cymbalta for 6 months, but I had many side effects and was exhausted. Within the first week on Pristiq I began to notice a huge difference, much more energy. A month later I almost feel like my old self, lots of energy, I can control my own thoughts, and I can concentrate which is amazing because I'm in university. I'm so glad I finally found something that works for me, and I'm looking forward to more improvements over time."


"I have severe dysmennorhea and I recently switched from Seasonique to Junel. This is the first time in my life that I've had a period without cramps. Honestly, if this continues I can say this pill drastically changed my quality of life."


"I don't know why I didn't try this product sooner. Like many others, I felt like underarm sweating was just a "normal" part of me. When I became a hairdresser is when my sweating really started to bother me. Having to work with the public all day and lifting my arms constantly made me self conscious. Not only was I worried about the sweat rings, I knew there was a slight odor from the sweat. I could only wear certain color clothing, and certain materials. Everything I wore became a sweat soaked mess within no time. So frustrating!! So, anyhow, made a doctors appointment to go over my options and have been very pleased with Hypercare! Worked after just a couple applications. No more hiding and wearing a sweat soaked top all day ever again."


"I don't know if this has anything to do with orthovisc, but I have had continual shortness of breath, exhaustion and waves of nausea, especially following the second dose (I had 4).  These symptoms have continued for weeks and the hospital and doctors can find no other cause."


"I was heavily bleeding for 2 months at the time; (as an fyi: I had no pain, cramps, thyroid, or cyst issues.) and was prescribed to take this for 7 days. I didn't have any side effects, and it didn't STOP the bleeding. However it did lighten the bleeding but a lot. I could wear a regular to light pad."


"First time I took Phentermine years back, I lost 40lbs in 2 months;  starting weight was 189 in about 3-4 months later went down to 129lbs I had no appetite, I would have to force myself to eat, the pounds came off so rapidly, people thought I was sick. Now back on it again after gaining it all back after 8 years time. Now started Phentermine again about 3 weeks ago, weighed 213 now down to 195 .. It really works!!! And first time users gets better results, because it's not as effective as it was the first time, but still works."


"I have had hypothyroidism for 20 years. Levoxyl never worked. "


"Updated Review: I had Liletta inserted at the end of March and had high hopes for it, as this was my first time using birth control and it seemed like a wonderful idea. The insertion was painful and I did have light cramping for the next three days or so but nothing I couldn't handle. However, two weeks after insertion, I started noticing extreme bloating, followed by excruciating stomach pains, back pain and strong stabbing pains under my ribs. These symptoms landed me in the ER three times, while various blood tests and a sonogram were conducted with no abnormal results found.I had the IUD removed a month later and my body has gradually reverted back to normal.I would not recommend this device due to the extreme side effects I experienced"


"I was perscribed this medicine to treat BV, I was told to take 5 400mg pills in one dose, this sounded wrong to me so I decided to have a look online and wished I never! I saw people sharing stories of really horrible side effects such as headache, dizzy spells and vomiting, being emetophobia this really worried me and I was debating if I'd even take the pills! Eventually decided to take them & as instructed, on a full stomach,with a large glass of water at night. They did taste a bit horrible but nothing as bad as I'd read, once I'd taken them the taste was gone ,I didn't have any dizziness or nausea, nothing, absolutely fine. I think some people have exaggerated their side effects majorly!"


"I used this in conjunction with Clenia. It worked great for about a year and now doesn't seem to do anything."


"After 2 months, I haven't had the slightest improvement."

"I've been on Latuda for 8 months now. Got off Risperdal which made me zombie like. I am taking 120mg of Latuda and love this medication. It has been successful in treating my depression/irritability. I am also taking Viibryd and Welbutrin. I have experienced NO weight gain. I recommend giving this medication a try if all others fail."


"This medicine gets rid of my back pain from spondylosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain relief within 15 minutes."


"No significant weight gain, No cramping during period, Period lasts for a shorter amount of time, No heavy bleeding (no spotting, either).

Overall, I'm very happy with Ocella. I'm 24 and have been taking it for 5 years. At this point, I'm not even sure how my body would react to not being on birth control since it has been so long."


"I started taking Tegretol for TN and it did greatly improve my ability to function. Pain was much duller during episodes and had stopped being totally debilitating.

6-7 weeks after use I began to be so lethargic I couldn't get out of bed and was relying so much more on my husband to see to our toddler son. It was very worrying. I then developed severely enlarged glands under my chin, lumps on my neck and started to feel generally unwell. I then had a full blood count done and it returned a very low white blood and abnormal looking cells also. Enlarged spleen also occurred. Now being referred to haematology and had to be taken off Tegretol as they believe I am taking quite a severe reaction to it."


"I had the WORST  experience with this BC.  I started to take it after i had my daughter i  thought this is great  a period every 4 months!  NEGATIVE this was horrible.  When i did get my period i was in a lot of pain. I had mood swings, depression, gained about 40 pounds, and had constant discharge.  i wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy"


"This has got to be the worst birth control I've ever had I got 2 months after I had my daughter in 2015. My period has been out of wack the whole time and February 22  2016 (my birthday) I had a miscarriage and June of 2017 I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. It's supposed to be the best but I'm still getting pregnant! so thank god on the 24 of July it will be out and on to something new. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I got my Nexplanon inserted on 5/14 (3 days before my prom), and was completely satisfied. The only part that sucked was the numbing, besides that I felt nothing. After the insertion I had no symptoms, just a severely bruised arm that I had to cover up for prom. I guess you can say that I am one of the luckier cases, I have not had my period since the insertion, nor have I had any bad side effects. Only reason why I got it was because I go off to college in the fall and don't want anything unexpected. I highly recommend this form of birth control because once it is in, that is all- no 3 month visits to your expensive gyno, no daily reminders of taking a pill and no painful insertions."


"I've had the Nexplanon in for 5 years. When it first got inserted it itched like crazy, but eventually it went away. I haven't had a period the whole time. No spotting or anything. I can't really comment on the mood swings as I've been on anxiety/depession medicine for 15 years. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it caused all of my weight gain, but I'm not pregnant so there's that. Overall I've had a great experience."


"Well, got a call at 11am from a nurse that one of my partners has tested positive for chlamydia. I freaked out a little cause you know, STDs are gross and sometimes killer. Well 6:30pm rolls around and I go see a doctor, I'm given 4 pills and I take them in the doctors office. I'm sent home and I feel fine. here I am all happy (LOL) minding my own business. It's now 8:15pm and I'm cramping like mad. I freaked out cause I thought my IUD was expelling or something cause those cramps were the worst. At this very moment I am telling you this news from the comfort of my toilet. The diarrhea has stopped (thanks immodium) and I vow to use condoms 100% of every time. Now I just wonder if I'll get a yeast infection from this (bleh)"


"I've been taking Lortab and Norcod 7.5/325 for several years off and on, they have given me my life back. It sometimes keeps me restless and awake some nights but that's a LOT better than being with cronic pain. When I quit taking them for a while I have felt overly tired for several days and get diarrhea. But that goes away after a few days."


"I am taking Septra for an infection on the tip of my nose. Day one was horrible. Nausea, fatigue, and vertigo {felt like a flu}. That lasted one day. Day 2-7 has been without issues. I take it with a meal and a good 12-16 ounces of fluid. 3 days to go and I expect that will be fine. My infection appeared much better by the 4th day."


"I had a rough start with this IUD, but I have no kids, a small figure, and had been on the pill for 5 years. I was given a cervix softener and 800 mg ibuprofen, but I really don't think they helped me. Insertion was very painful and I almost passed out. I had to lay at the doctors office for a little over an hour to recover before driving home. I was still in a lot of pain and my doctor was nice enough to give me a muscle relaxer. A lot of pain and nausea the first two days and then that subsided. I spotted consistently for 3 weeks and have had occasional spotting since then, but no periods. I do have increased acne, but I expected that when going off the pill. Not needing to worry about birth control for the next five years is amazing."


"ive been on this tretinoin gel for two months and its has its ups and downs. the first month i saw results my face was clearing but the peeling and burning was not what i expected, the second month my face seemed to go back to how i started, which was not ok. I am still using this gel, hoping the third month will bring better results."


"My doctor prescribed me Topamax as a preventative measure for my common migraines.  It helped with my headaches really well.  I used to get migraines at least a dozen times a month and this medicine allowed me to only have 2 headaches in the month that I took it.
I stopped taking it, however, because I felt so out of it.  I felt like a space cadet.  It also made me very moody.  Everything irritated and bothered me.  I didn't think those feelings were worth continuing with the prescription.
I would suggest trying it, as those effects, from what I understand, are rare.  And, I have to say that I didn't get migraines for a few months after I stopped taking it.  So that was a bonus.
As a side note, it does make soft drinks taste 'flat'."


"Had to get an abortion just over a month ago. Wanted to use a different birth control because I started getting very sick after years of taking the pill. Depo seemed to be working fine for the first couple weeks. Then all the sudden I notice I am angry at almost everything. The next minute severely depressed. Yelling at my significant other for no reason. I already had mood swings before, and now its horrifying. I've gained weight and feel awful about it. I just got my first spotting last week. I'll bleed a lot. Then a little. Just waiting for it to end. Bad cramps everyday. I knew I shouldn't have tried this method, but the pill makes me sick to my stomach. Not doing depo again, have to figure out something else... Again!"


"I have been taking Vistaril for the last 6 months. I use it for anxiety and trouble sleeping. It calms me down with no side effects, and when I take it in the evening for sleep I wake up feeling good. I've taken multiple drugs for sleep including, Restoril, trazadone, and Ambien. All of those caused me to have the "sleep hangover". I would have trouble waking up and would spend the whole day feeling as if the medications just wouldn't leave my system. Vistaril is the best medication I've found for anxiety and sleep. It allows me to take a few lower doses during the day and a higher dose at night to sleep. Highly recommended."


"Wow!!!!! I have not been feeling well for a long time. Until Toprol lx 25mg. My head is clear. I can think straight. I dont have any anxiety. My work performance is at it greatest level. Even my sexual drive is back. I get up rested in the morning and fell no fatigue. I dont know about anyone else but I'm glad to take this medication."


"I have used the Ortho Evra patch 2 years ago and I loved it, did not fall pregnant and had no side effects, but I went back to using it again six(6) months ago, my sex drive has drastically dropped and suffering from vaginal dryness for the past 3 months."


"I'm starting my 2nd month of this birth control, so it's not quite enough time to determine if it's amazing yet or not, however the first month is usually the worst.  I was on Orho Evra for almost a month, when I began experiencing horrible side effects and so my doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 Fe.  The main reason I'm taking it is because I have very heavy periods that last for 7 days, which leads to extreme cramps and nausea as well as feeling faint.
The first month taking this went extremely well.  I didn't have any spotting, my period started as soon as I took the brown pills and ended once I took the white pill again.  Side Effects: headache, nausea, moodyness, bloating, diarrhea."


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


"I have been on Gianvi for about 1 month and a half and it's great. I haven't gotten pregnant, but I have noticed my appetite change. I don't want to eat the food I used to love, but it's definitely helping me lose weight and this is ALWAYS good."


"Excessive weight gain, but the major issue is it also thins your blood, a real concern for anyone having surgery. Talk to your MD about this problem if you are concerned."


"This is my third different antibiotic for a deep leg wound that was surgically debrided 4 weeks ago. I have taken Bactrim DS many times before for bladder infections with few side effects.

This time I want to die. I ache all over. I am nauseated and haven't eaten anything except a few oranges for 4 days. I am drinking ginger ale and water. I can barely walk because of weakness. My cat even walks ahead of me and stops to look back at me every few steps instead of us racing.

Lest anyone suggest I do not know how to take this med, I am a Registered Nurse and there is no need to question my proper dosing regimen. If it weren't for the fact that I want to keep my lower leg and foot, I would toss this medicine in the trash."


"My mom was hospitalized three days after taking a low dose of this poison. Even before she started, she was not really eating and drinking (receiving hydration IVs three days a week). Her liver was so swollen that she could barely swallow her tiny pain pills every four hours. We had to be creative -using honey and Jell-O to keep pills from getting stuck in her throat.

I’m guessing that this drug is intended for younger or healthier people, and that in my mom’s case, it probably robbed her of some precious time with her family. She is so much weaker now than before."


"Took this for nausea due to flue. It might have helped, I'm not sure, but I took it twelve hours ago and now I have worst headache of life and nothing gets rid of it. I can't move and I'm very dizzy. Also slightly nauseous. Phenergan would have been better. Also this stuff tastes gross and I almost puked trying to swallow it. Would not take this again."


"Zoloft's been a life saver for me. I've been stable for over ten years.  I've had to have my dose adjusted but that's part of life. It hasn't made me manic, knock on wood. My friends and family are a huge support. I take my medicines as directed, and I don't use alcohol or other drugs. No serious side effects. My doctor's also very careful. I get upped or lowered slowly and he watches me closely. The only hard time with Zoloft was running out. I did get withdrawls."


"I'm experiencing my first YI and this is my first time using monistat...I definitely will not be finishing the rest of the days I've never felt so much pain in my life and I handle pain really well but THIS burning and itching the medicine caused I could not handle I rolled around on my floor crying for about 30min until I managed to get up and try to wash the medicine out... Now I'm laying in bed and I can't close my legs I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight"


"Really tired and sleepy throughout the day.  I take medicine. In the evening."


"Cymbalta has been a lifesaver for my Diabetic Neuropathy.
In just a few days the pain and discomfort went away. The only problem I am facing with Cymbalta is insomnia even in combination with Xanax 4mg and Vistaril 150mg."


"My son is now going on 9 we started out with adderall 5mg XR at age 5... as he got older we adjusted and went to 5mg twice a day, however!!  There were massive side effects with the Adderall mainly moods anger frustration among many others that I noticed at the age of seven we then started Focalin ,  however when we started the Focalin my son was put on a 20 mg dose to start extended release capsule he took the medication went to school and every day after lunch when the second those kicked in he would constantly have massive rage massive hallucination massive amounts of itching breakouts among other things..... The 20 mg XR was way to strong for him. We downgraded to a 10mg XR with a 2.5mg immediate release for back. Best decision we've made"


"Bif's comments are true. This medicine will drop your sugar levels quickly, but it works too well. Thirty minutes after taking 2mg, I can feel my sugar levels getting low. I don't have the shakes (meaning my sugar levels are in the low 60's), but I probably would in a matter of minutes. After eating breakfast, I must eat again about 2 hours later or I'll get the shakes. I must be conscious of my sugar levels for the first 4 hours after taking a dose. Overall, my fasting sugar level has dropped from 140 to 110, simply by taking 2mg each morning. However, I find I am gaining weight and overeating too."


"I absolutely LOVE this pill. I have been through a lot of rough patches with my health, involving ovarian cysts, hirustism, hormonal cystic acne, and painful and heavy periods. When I first tried birth control in college, I was put on Aviane. It cleared up my skin to porcelain-like results within the first month, it regulated my cycle like clockwork, helped me shed unwanted weight, improved my sex drive, and even increased my breast size (bonus) from a small 34B to a full 34D cup. I am 5'4" and 130 pounds, so this effect only helped my self-esteem! I went off Aviane a few years later after my gyno took out two cysts in 2012, and since then I tried about 6 other pills, from Yaz to Sprintec to Lutera. NOTHING compares to Aviane!"


"I'm 30 years old and have been smoking for about 14 years now. Two years in a row, I've had bronchitis or some kind of respiratory infection. I smoked Newports about a pack a day. It's my 2nd week on Chantix, and already I can feel less and less cravings. Usually I wake up and go right for a cigarette, and today I woke up and it took about 3 hours for me to realize I haven't smoked and just did it out of habit. When I'm working my 12 hours at the hospital, I can now go my full 12 without craving. That was never possible before! I'm only giving it an 8 because I hear for some people, side effects kick in bad around 3-4 weeks. I've been nauseas once but other than that, nothing. I really hope this is it for me! So far I'm feeling hopeful!!"


"I absolutely hate it! I've had it for less than a week and my acne is AWFUL! My face is greasy and my hair is falling out. Also, by mood swings are terrible. DO NOT waste your time and money."


"I find modafinil it more effective than caffeine although the initial effects seemed to wear off after about 8 hours or so. There are definitely less side effects than with other prescription stimulants such as phentermine or ritalin.Being in a creative field, I%u2019d personally recommend Modalert 200 to people who have troubles brainstorming and have to work on complex projects. I%u2019ve been regularly ordering mine online. And my experience  has been pretty good."


"osteoporosis,heart valve problems,insomnia,anxiety,bone pain,mdd, levothyroxine is not a good medication does more harm than good"


"I am 15 weeks pregnant, and have been fighting hyperemesis since week 10.  I obviously don't want to take ANY medicines while pregnant, but the risk of not eating and drinking has become much worse.  I've had 3 I.V.'s.  I tried Unisom with B6, Zofran, even Phenergan.  Nothing touches the vomiting.  Reglan is the only medicine that will stop the vomiting AND allow me to eat and drink.  I take it only when I'm totally desperate, but it is a miracle."


"My Dr. Suggested adding Victoza to metformin and Actos treatment for diabetes since my a1c levels were getting progressively higher and I am 100lbs overweight. In 5 weeks I lost 23 lbs. For the first 3 weeks I experienced nausea and extreme fatigue. I love Victoza because for the first time I feel full after eating small portions, I have a greatly reduced interest in food and appetite. I feel relieved that I can finally eat to live and not live to eat."


"I take Lortab as needed for back pain. I can see why people would get hooked on it. It not only takes away the pain, it gives me a boost of energy as well but when it wears off the pain seems stronger, making you want to take more than prescribed. My advice is to be careful to follow the as prescribed directions."


"This is my 4th review since 2014. Prozac has almost completely eliminated my anxiety episodes. Weight loss ceased some time ago and I gained weight back most likely due to drinking. Appetite is normal, bowel movements are more normal than ever-sorry, but when I had severe anxiety that was a big problem.
I can speak in large group settings with no problem, travel without issues and deal with stressful situations effectively. Overall, I feel great with no side effects.
Cons: Drinking can be an issue. Definitely drink moderately, eat before drinking and drink plenty of water. Alcohol can sneak up on you and cause drowsiness or blackouts. Believe me I know......."


"I've had the implant for three months now and I think the only downside would be that I held for about a month and half so far. I felt really nauseous when I first got it so I could barely eat but I've lost weight and have remained very small. I haven't had an issue with weight at all so far but I do agree with the cravings. I have had cravings lately but not too bad. So far I like the implant and I would recommend it"


"This is my first week on it and its seems to be starting to control my acne but I will randomly get sick to my stomach and want to throw up. I also  seem to be getting that brown discharge everyone else seems to have written about. I would recommend taking it with food. other than that, it seems to be the best out of the many birth controls I have tried"


"I have had Kyleena for just under a year. Insertion was awful. I had it put in the beginning of December, and had cramps so debilitating on Christmas that I basically missed it. I still have severe cramps very often that are not aligned with my period. They are completely random. I sometimes get severe cramping after inserting a tampon or after sex. I was hoping I would have lighter and shorter periods. They are lighter, but I have to wear a pad or a tampon 3 out of 4 weeks a month. It’s insane. The worst part is the cramping, though. It’s very painful."


"I tried this medicine and it cured my depression within a matter of days. I felt great and was seeing the world in a different light. Good energy and  just felt good in general. Problem is I couldn't sleep. I was on 15 mg. I adjusted the dose down to 10 mg and the antidepressant effects were gone. I had to stop a great medicine due to insomnia."


"No side effects with my first infusion 2 yrs ago. However, I did get high blood pressure within 6 monthss of receiving infusion. Blood pressure was normal to low prior to infusion."


"This medicine is a life-saver. Before I began taking Xanax the suffering I endured was indescribable. I panicked when I rode on trains or buses. I almost went out of my mind if a train stopped or slowed down between stations and I could not get off. I felt trapped.

  During a job interview I suffered such a severe panic attack that I wanted to flee into the street. My doctor prescribed Xanax and I was able to start and continue to work. Otherwise, I would have committed suicide. Fortunately, I get a generous supply each month, which I use up.

I've heard horror stories from people whose doctors will not prescribe benzodiazepines at all. Also, some states place unnecessary  red tape on Xanax prescriptions."


"I have had mild rosacea for over 20 years with occasion mild breakouts. Normally it is well managed and not visible unless I have had a bad few days. I have it over nose & upper cheeks (T Zone) with blemishes when its bad. Normally I use Rozex. I was given Mirvaso as an alternative and after 5 days I had to take time off work because it inflamed so bad it turned my nose and upper cheeks a dark red / purple.

Never use this cream, it feeds back on itself. i am still waiting for the redness to drop after 48 hours of not using it.  Stay away."


"I have had only my first 2 shots, my last shot being June 23rd 2017, which was the day I was released from the psych ward, I decided that I wanted to see how I was going to do without the drugs and see how I am, my first shot was the week before, I didn't even tell them I was hearing voices because I was at awe that I was and wanted to keep that to myself, I believe I was only hearing them for about 4 weeks but I can't really say, even though I was experiencing many new things mentally, physically and emotionally, even before the voices, I would have rather felt that and heard voices, which I don't hear anymore than to feel how I am now...literally zero emotions, don't get pleasure for anything, don't feel anything I mean anything"

"Prep for my colonospy. Mixed them together with cold water and put it in the refrig for 4 hours. When I took it out of the refrig I shook it good and poured out the first 8ozs. Drank it pretty fast. It was cold and went down pretty easy. Waited 15 minutes and did it again until it was gone. Humm, nothing happened, drank a Costco bottle of water, nothing. Then about an hour later I was glad I stocked up on TP. Back and forth several times and started to drink more water in hopes that I run clear. Ten years ago I had a small bottle they had me mixed with Dr Pepper. Oh boy, everytime I drank water I was sitting down.
This is not so aggressive. Doing round 2 at 3a/m. Hope its about the same experience."


"Some general ill feelings, feels a lot like I'm taking  hydrocodone"


"I used Xiidra for about 5 weeks. Half the time I only used it once a day.  I experienced the blurry vision which for me lasts about 20 minutes.  I also had the bad taste - bitter is more like it.  That lasts about 10 minutes.
I hoped it would help but I have not experienced any change in my dry eyes.
So, if you are the are helping you in a dramatic way, then you are one of the lucky ones.  It seems to be hit or miss depending on who knows what."


"Awful I highly don't recommend this pill. It has caused depression and anxiety throughout the whole time. I had a concussion so I couldn't figure out what was causing me headaches but it was this pill and it didn't help with cramps or how much I bled on my period"


"Symbicort has COMPLETELY changed my life. I'm 23 and have been living with severe asthma my entire life. I was using my rescue inhaler 5+ times a day and unable to even climb the steps to my apartment without chest pain and wheezing. I'd tried other medications such as Advair and Singulair, but saw no change in symptoms. Finally, after being completely fed up with being so young, yet unable to go for a walk in the park, or stand within 10 feet of an animal, I talked to my doctor and was prescribed Symbicort. After two weeks, taking 4 puffs a day, it's almost like I don't have asthma anymore. Now, I take one puff every few weeks for maintenance. I can sleep through an entire night, my thinking is much more clear, and I couldn't be happier."


"I have been experiencing headaches and before using Orthocept I rarely got headaches, I've also experienced dark spotting for two weeks leading up to my period. I'm very moody now and am very easily frustrated. I get tired as early as 8 at night now (before the pill I could stay up until 2 a.m. If I even went to sleep) and am no longer a morning person. I'm hungry more and am gaining weight but luckily in the right places. My breasts are noticeably growing. My libido has also increased and I'm not pregnant so it's working ok."


"My good friend started Keytruda in the beginning of the year after all other treatments failed for his adrenal cancer. He looked terrible and lost over 30 pounds and he looked like he has a month or two to live. Keytruda and shrunk his two tumors dramatically and thanks to Merck my friend is still alive."


"This has been a miracle! I went from avoiding everyone and everything even cleaning or talking to friends. I've started doing everything around the house, I've been able to stand up for myself. I'm happy every day. Gone are the I'm having a bad day, only drawback 1st 3 weeks I had to take it at bedtime because I was very nervous and jittery, that subsided, no problems with stomach have not lost any weight but I'm much more active. Like night and day difference. I'm so happy."


"Super easy and not bad tasting at all. I heard so many negative reviews that I was very nervous to drink this solution. I drank it cold and through a straw. It was hard to get the last glass down before I started having a BM, but then it was a breeze to drink. I drank half tonight, and I will have the other half in the morning. I've been in the bathroom for roughly 4 hours thus far, but that's to be expected since that's what it's for. "


"Stopped Nexium and Dr prescribed 150 mg generic Zantac (Ranitidine) twice daily.  About 14 hours from the first dose the GERD was back in full force.  At 3AM I resorted to 20 mg of Nexium and another 20 mg an hour later.  Worst night in many years.  Not sure if it takes time for this medicine to build up in my system but I can't suffer from GERD and it did not work the first day."


"I had my Mirena inserted this morning. I was not on my period, was not prescribed any medication to dilate my cervix, and have never had children. It is now 11:00 am and the device was inserted at 9:15 am. I am feeling fine and cramping less than when I am on my period. As far as the insertion goes, my doctor told me there would be a pinch and then a big cramp.  The pinch lasted longer than I expected, maybe 90 seconds, but was not at all unbearable.  When she told me the big cramp was coming she was not kidding. I felt a deep heavy cramp for about 30 seconds. I held my breath. "


"It was great until I had 12 weeks of nonstop heavy bleeding and then went 4-5 weeks of no period which was awesome but now my period has come  back with vengeance I don't think I've gained weight just really bloated my sex drive is gone and I'm more agitated at things easily but I've heard implanon (when you take it out) can cause you not to be able to have a baby ever again.... not sure if this is true but a friend of mine took hers out got pregnant twice and lost both babies at 23 weeks this scares me because I plan on exspanding my family I only have one child can anyone make me feel better on this? But it's done it's job I have am not / have not been pregnant sense I put this in my arm"


"First placed on this medication in 2012 with no improvement in condition."


"I have not put anything on sites like this but really want input. I have been dealing with medical issues for 3 months which required taking meds during the night which disrupted my sleep. My health is getting back on track but I am was not sleeping well. My Dr prescribed lorazepam 1 mg at bedtime.  It works pretty well by giving me sleep however I am out of it almost the entire day. Around 4pm I start to feel ok again so I get to have a 6 hour window of a good day. I have read so many of all of your reviews. I am concerned about addiction and withdrawal as I have not taken very many meds like this. The Dr wrote prescription for 25 days. Would like suggestions; should I stay daily with 1 mg or skip nights or cut in half sometimes? I've used it for 1 week so far"


"Developed memory loss, (MMSE 16/30) , developed total body neuralgia, developed instability, developed cogging (regitity of muscle tone), developed Parkinsonian symptoms,"


"I've taken strattera at first and didn't like it so went on adderall XR 15 mg once a day. Increased energy and increased focus.  After a while, the increased energy was TOO MUCH so I decided to try strattera. I dropped the adderall dose and took them both together for a Few weeks before discontinuing the adderall.   They feel virtually identical.  I take strattera twice a day to avoid daytime sleepiness & no longer feel over stimulated and zombified and I have energy, & increased focus. I did have a headache for the first couple of days. Took an adderall yesterday and yup felt identical. Could barely tell a difference except got a bad headache at the end of the day on the come down and I also felt like a zombie again. Oh yeah, no come down on strattera!"


"A little diarrhea is quite tolerable when the alternative is having an incredibly painful infection growing inches away from your brain."


"My daughter (21 yrs) had this awful drug inserted in her arm a year and a half ago. We just got it removed today after six months of trying to convince her doctor to remove it. She had to have 8 stitches and it was a very painful procedure. Since she had Nex inserted she has gained about 25 pounds, suffered from depression and anxiety, became anemic, broke out with body acne (she's never had acne, other than an occasional pimple in her teens), been to the ER and Doctor several times for ovarian cysts (never had them before) and bleeds three to four weeks straight every three months. Her attitude has been extremely negative to put it lightly. She is so tired and has no energy almost every day. I hope she recovers quickly!"


"I have insomnia and trying to get off Ambien. Have taken 20 mg of Belsomra for 2 nights.  It does not make me sleepy, barely sleep, if at all.  I have really negative dreams related to self esteem and my legs really hurt, making it hard to walk and feels like I did an hour of squats. So far thumbs down!"


"I have been experiencing terrible waking headaches and also not able to think of the words I want to express. I take Cozaar in the evenings and believe it's causing these symptoms. Not happy !"


"I started taking this medicine this past Friday. I have been up for the last two nights every hour on the hour! Please tell me that this will go away. I have also had a headache for the last two days. I stopped drinking caffeine so maybe that why. I'm ready to lose this weight! I'm 31 and 195 lbs my goal is to lose 50 lbs."


"I'm 18 I've never been pregnant or anything of that sort but going in to the input of the skyla I was nervous because I read the reviews on this website and it made me really scared as , I just got the skyla in me about an hour ago  I'm a heavy bleeder.  They called me to go through to the room and I laid down on the chair, the doc came and  talked to me about what she was going to do. Long story short, they put this tool in u to open up your vagina and it gives u a lot of pressure, then there were 2 pains beside the pressure one felt like some one had poked the insides of my vag with a needle and the other was a cramp. It was kinda painful but everything turned out perfect and as of an hour in a half I've had no pain so yay. PS  .Don't listen to the reviews it will  be ok"


"I was prescribed Microgestin FE 1/20 after finding out my insurance didn't cover Loloestrin Fe 1/20. Thought I'd give it a try since my provider said it's similar to loloestrin, however it has a higher dose of estrogen, and she suggested that no other BC will have lower estrogen than loloestrin. Paying for it out of pocket would be about $120 a month. I was on Microgestin for 2 weeks. I know that's not long enough but it was long enough for me! My breasts were way sensitive and tender to the point that laying on my side felt uncomfortable and the reason why I decided to stop it all together was because sex was painful! My vagina was so dry that although I wanted to have sex, my parts weren't working with me! LOL."


"I am 44 years old and was recently diagnosed as ADD.  I am a successful professional that always had to work a little harder to achieve results due to my lack of concentration and tendency toward distractions.  I started taking Vyvanse, and have to admit I felt like Superwoman for about a week and ranted and raved about how much I was getting done without the jittery feeling most stimulants provide.  But then all in one day, I crashed.  I started getting extremely agitated.  I then would get so angry I would cry hysterically.  I quit taking the medication and within a few days my mood and attitude have leveled off.  Although, I have suffered from extreme vertigo and exhaustion since I have been off this medicine. I was on 30mg."


"I received a Xologel perscription instead of my usual ketaconazole cream. I went to the local pharmacy and was shown a bill of $595. I laughed at the poor cashier, and said "no thanks". Called my dermatologist back and got a cream for $30. There is a program on their website where people can get the drug for only  $10 on top of their co-pay if their insurance doesn't cover the drug. What this seems to imply, is that if your insurance won't pay, they will give it to you for what it is actually worth. A perfect example of the broken medical system and greed. The price of this drug has gone up over 400% in the last few years. Next time I see an Aqua box at my pharmacy it will be refused."


"I'm on a very low dose -- 5mg/day -- but have had success until recently. I have never had any side effects or ever felt "drugged".  It just reduced my anxiety and tendency toward agoraphobia. Recently the agoraphobia has been winning so I have contacted my Doctor to either raise my dose or try a different medication.  I just can't get myself out the door;  it's like walking to the end of a high diving board. Stress and panic increases as I get to the end, then the horrible fall like I'm having a heart attack.  Finally floating in the water I am actually fine, and even enjoy myself.  "


"52 year old Female. I have now been on 7.5 mg for 14 days, 28 days total. Hunger much reduced. Side effects: headaches; ringing in my ears lasted about a week. Still have slight numbness in cheeks. Have lost 13 lbs in 28 days, the most weight I have been able to lose in 12 years - I am thrilled. My morning blood sugar was 150 to 180, now 70 to 120. Oh...and I've stopped snoring!"


"I started Apri a year and 4 months ago. When I first started, I was 175. I'm currently 210. My appetite has increased tremendously. It doesn't make me very moody, although I was depressed for a couple of months (maybe that could have been due to school). I've missed as many as 3 days and was still fine. My sex drive has decreased just a little, but nothing too major. My cycle is very regular and only lasts 3-4 days. I cramp, but not every cycle. Overall, it's decent."


"I really love the outcome of venlafaxine er and I'm currently on 225mg and I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Dysthymia and it's helped a whole lot for me and it's helped me make a positive turnaround and meeting the love of my life. I would definitely recommend effexor (venlafaxine) I feel like a new person."
