"10 yrs ago I injured my back. I have had 4 back fusions. I have been on every narcotic and opiate at their highest possible dose. This is because I have an extremely efficient liver (doctors are baffles). One year ago I was at my wits end I went to a new pain management doctor. He asked if I ever tried methadone, NOPE, no one ever suggested it. Well he prescribed it and I am currently on 120mg a day, and it has saved my life. Two problems weight gain, excessive sweating. Anyone else with these problems. "


"I was prescribed this cream after already taking oral medications that failed to work because I have had a gastric bypass and the pills were not absorbed by my body enough to get rid of my b.v.  I put it in at night and felt 70% better in the morning when I woke up."


"I am a 37yr old mother of 3. Had my 1st IUD after my 3rd baby in 2003. I cannot express how much I appreciate not having a period anymore. In the past when I had periods I had massive amounts of cramping & insanely grumpy. I'm on my 2nd Mirena and close to time for my 3rd. No doubt painful when put in, but soooo worth it...IMO"


"Testim helped my husband but hurt me. It transferred to me and now I have hormonal issues and other medical issues related to this product. DO NOT touch them where they have put it on, skin to skin until they wash it off. Don't let your children near him either! They should keep area covered. Our Doctor did not warn us and I only found out after I got symptoms."


"Ok I'm actually worker from cvs. I personally use aftera and its always worked , but unfortunately I was with customer today I had recomended it to a while ago because my personal experience and she told me today that she's pregnant and buying prenatal vitamins is not 100% but it work for me"


"I really like this medication! It helps me with PSA and psoriasis and makes me feel like normal again.
The only think I have to complain about is about 3 days before my next injection I can feel the medication has left my body so it doesn't last 100% the full 2 weeks it's supposed to"


"Lexapro has honestly saved my life. I have been dealing with Anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder my entire life and have tried multiple medications, nothing has worked, this is amazing. I would say before Lexapro my anxiety on a scale of 1-10 was a 10 EVERY SINGLE DAY. Now its at 0! Sometimes maybe a 1. It has given me my life back!"


"I'm a 64 year old sexually active bloke. I had struggled for around 3 years after recovering from a heart attack with problems achieving and maintaining an erection during foreplay and attempting penetration during intercourse. My wife who is 12 years younger than me encouraged me to speak to my doctor about it and in somewhat typical 'bloke' fashion I finally plucked up the courage to speak with him about my problem. Being aware of my health status, he prescribed Sildenafil Citrate 50 mg saying that I should start with 1 tablet on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to sex. We gave it a whirl recently and WOW what a difference! Around 60 minutes after taking the Sildenafil (even after recently eating) I was up and hard with little stimulation."


"Was prescribed this for a rash/skin irritation. I didn't see results until 3-4 days into the 6 day pack. Side effects for me were bad heartburn (usually at night when I went to lay down) and gas/bloating. Overall it wasn't anything too miserable. I'm only day 5 now and rash seems to be completely gone."


"I have  used Fiorinal since I was 18 and am 61 now. It is the only medicine that works for me and my headaches. Over the years the doctors have tried every medicine on the market on me, some gave me terrible side effects and the Fiorinal doesn't. After years of taking it I find I have to be careful not to abuse it and use it for something other than headache, like a sleeping pill or back pain. I am aware of how much I am taking and have regular visits with my doctor so he is on top of things as well. For me I won't take anything other than Fiorinal for migraine."


"I am only giving this a 7 because it definitely made a change in my ability to concentrate for long periods but it was not a pleasant experience. As soon as I took the medicine it would make me feel exhausted and tired. I would have to fight the tiredness to get any benefit out of it. By the end of the day I was drained. It also made me extra agitated. I couldn't focus on more than one thing at a time so when someone would distract me I would get very irritated. I also tensed up my muscles and had bad neck/bad pain. I switched to Ritalin but that was crap too. They put me on Vyvanse and it feels similar but less intense than adderall so we shall see."


"Diarrhea...enough said."


"I started Adipex 4/16 exactly 6 days ago. I started at 181lbs I am now down to 176.4lbs. I have had occasional headaches and dry mouth, but as long as I keep losing this weight I need to lose I can deal with it.  My goal is to lose all my pregnancy weight I put on with my second baby. 28 more pounds to go!!"


"I agree with almost everyone here.  I have been on all the narcotics for pain, for arthritis, since 2001.  Finally, a wonderful doctor recognised the fibromyalgia aspect of my pain and prescribed Lyrica.  What a difference! I sleep all night and can move in the morning.  My narcotic usage is lowered along with lower muscle relaxants.  At this point, I wouldn't do without my Lyrica."


"very good"


"This year has been the absolute worst for me. My allergies are ridiculous. The sneezing and itchy throat is my biggest issue. I am now using Allegra D every 12 hours. I am going to try adding the regular Allegra for 24 hours as well. Just can't take it anymore. Hoping this year is not repeated."


"I am being treated for clinical depression. My anxiety was getting bad. I could not sleep but was always tired. So my doctor prescribed my this in a low dose. I knew there would be side effects. But these made me feel terrible, I had absolutely no energy at all. Still had problems falling asleep & when I slept it was even harder to get up, can't even hear alarm clock go off. When I got up I would have absolutely no energy at all for the entire day till night. I took them for 2 1/2 wks. And stopped. After a few days I felt better. Go back to doctor & he gives me a higher dose?? I took half of a pill and felt like a zombie again for 3 days straight.  I called my doc but he isn't in till next week. Don't know why he told me to keep taking them."


"I'm 60yrs old and I had a real bad break out in my face and it worked great for me.Doxycycline Monohydrate #Clear Face"


"Took it at 8pm and about 30 minutes later I puked but saw no pills. Did see a little blood though. Diarrhea came another 30 minutes later and was brown and watery. Was sort of okay afterwards"


"It did not help me. I still have very bad back pain, and cannot do anything around the house."


"It left me with a very dry mouth, racy heart beat, insomnia and slight dizziness."


"I've been on oxycodone/acetaminophen 7.5/325 for over 2 yrs for chronic thoracic pain. It takes the edge off for about 3 hrs. Most noticeable side effects are dry mouth and excessive sweating."


"It helps with depression and fibromyalgia"


"I am on my fourth implant and I love it!  No pregnancies, barely a period to speak of, and swapping them out has been so easy.  The only side effect I've had is mild hair loss, which no one besides me can tell.  If you've never had the implant before I recommend trying a progestin only pill first before you commit because it will most likely have the same results for you."


"I have been suffering from Tonsillitis for 5 days, my tonsils were extremely swollen and full of pus. I could not swallow without excruciating pain. I went to my primary care doctor and got a dose of Toradol. Along w/ IV fluids, antibiotics and steroids. Within 45 mins my throat was about 60% less painful. By the end of the day I could swallow completely without any pain. I'm sure both the IV and Toradol played parts in this, but I believe the Toradol was the extra punch I needed."


"Oh my god. Never have i felt pain like this. My body twitched from the pain. Honestly i need to save others from buying this. Please save yourself. Do not buy this product. It's worse than the yeast infection. Horrible. Horrible!"


"My mom started on radiation and chemo, traditional chemo did not work because the cancer had spread to her bone marrow. Her doctor started her on Opdivo and she went down hill from there. She had pneumonia and joint pain, diarrhea etc, the side effects were
worst then the cancer. I would not recommend this drug to anyone, taking this drug was a HUGE set back for my mom, she passed away yesterday 11/21/16. Please do your homework before taking it."


"I could barely sit in restaurants, I was constantly on edge feeling unsafe everywhere, obsessed with checking my pulse, I was in and out of derealisation feeling constantly floaty in a horrible way. Week 1-6 of citalopram - anxiety got worse, Hot flushes, or one part of my body was burning hot. Appetite was completely gone, and the nausea was quite bad. End of week 3 the physical symptoms started to pass and anxiety lifted. From week 3-6 my mood was all over the place, went from feeling normal to suicidal to desperately depressed and depression wasn't what I was being treated for. So beware of extreme mood changes because that is scary. But now week 8 and I feel 80% back to normal. I know is desperate but stick it out and it will be great!"


"I'm 20 years old. Today is the fourth day of my treatment. I easily felt tired,slight headache, and even dizzy from these days. Hope those side effects could be reduced soon."


"Update. My fourth day I could not take this pill. I was physically drained. The pill made me so sleepy so I opt out on this day. However, I did lose 7 pounds in a week so it must wk. I havnt had any other side effects except the sleepiness. Is your body can take it then your a trooper. I'll start back tomorrow and hopefully my body adjust to this medicine or I'll be switching"


"I am on my second Mirena. I had my first one fitted at my Post partum check up in 2007. I had it for 6 years. That's right, a year over the recommended and approved time frame. The first time insertion was not painful. Periods stopped after a year.  When I had it removed, my doctor at the time refused to give me another one (different doctor than the one who inserted the first) and instead talked me into the Depo shot.  After a miscarriage and extremely heavy periods and a doctor change I just had another Mirena placed a week ago. Insertion wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. I had no bleeding or spotting. Absolutely none. I cramped a little the first day, but none since.

The Mirena isn't for everyone, but it has been a life saver for me!"


"Lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks; had no appetite most of the day. ate a regular meal at dinnertime"


"I went to my doctor in april of 2000, my weight was 218 lbs and I am only 5 ft 1 inch, so you can imagine me being just as round as tall. I took the pills 3 x a day and walked 1 to 2 miles twice a day. I was down to 135 lbs by the following summer of 2001. I did put on some weight starting in 2003 to 2004 as I had got married and my whole cooking habits changed. I am walking on my treadmill daily now and eating better. Trying to take it off again."


"Would not use this would definitely wait for a dr to prescribe something else!"


"My doctor prescribed Benzaclin after my other acne medicine stopped working for me. The first month was rough, my skin was really dry and it peeled alot. Things got better, my face cleared up, I did get some breakouts here and there but with a pea size amount of benzalin, it would shrink and dry out my pores and pimples. If you do not see results within a week or two, do not stop applying bezaclin! The first 6-8 weeks may be rough but it really does clear up your skin. And my scars have faded. Do not over apply the medicine, it can cause over dryness of the face and excessive peeling. Hope benzaclin will help you beat acne like it helped me!"


"Started the depo shot in May 2015 haven't had another shot since and still dealing with constant sometimes very very heavy periods and its February 2016...7 MONTHS!"


"I absolutely love this form of birth control. It is so easy and I've had pretty much no side effects. I haven't had any periods in the 2 years I've been on it, and only the rare light spotting (maybe 5-6 days in 2 years). Will be going in to have another one placed shortly. Highly recommend."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I have to drink two bottles of this stuff, 2 day cleanse and this is my second night. I started drinking it with a lemonade powder, I LOVE lemon anything lol, anyway to me it tasted horrible with the lemon so I tried it by itself and it taste like baking soda and water. Last night at the beginning I felt a little bloated and a very little nausea after things started moving my stomach settled down. I am drinking two jugs because my first test I used something else and did not work as well as it should have. I pray this will be the last time for a long long while! It does do the job!"


"Every single time my doc prescribes this I beg for something different!  The side effects for me start right after the first dose and continue to get worse.  Extremely nauseated, splitting headache, muscles aching especially in my neck; dizziness loss of appetite and just an all over feeling of being sick!
My daughter just came over to help take care of me and just named several other medicines that are very effective for bladder infections without the side effects!
"


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"Worked well.  I took every 4 hrs about 7 ml "


"Benefits did not outweigh side effects experienced.

I am a runner with tendonitis in my left foot.  My doctor prescribed meloxicam, 15 mg to reduce inflammation and manage pain. I took it for a month and I experienced side effects like dizziness, stomach problems, and inexplicable weight gain (despite the fact that I was swimming, biking, and slowly starting to run again).  The small reduction in pain was not worth the side effects, so I am back to about 800 mg of ibuprofen a day."


"I've been on Nardil for migraine prevention, probably 5 years now. My neurologist prescribed it after nothing else would work, including Depakote and Topamax. My original dosage was 15 mg 3 x day. I tried going off of it last year, 1 pill/week, as directed by neurologist, but it was a horrible experience with 3 weeks of diarrhea, weakness and depression, so cut it down to 1/2 pill/week. Still bad experience. Had to go back on it. Tried again this summer, cutting it by 1/4 pill/week...much better results. However when down to last pill in morning, migraines hit with a vengeance. Have upped it back up to 1.5 pills/day. Plan to try to decrease again, but even slower. Other than migraines returning aggressively, no bad experience this time."


"I love Skyla!! Yes it is painful to get put in but it is so worth it. Honestly the pain lasted 2 mins tops however I did have a little bit of cramping the next day. I drove myself home and was completely fine. I'm 24 with no kids and have no problems with it. Before I got skyla I read all the reviews and almost talked myself out of it. I'm so glad I didn't. Def worth the 2 mins of pain to get it inserted."


"This medicine works. We had exhausted every other psych medicine on the market over a period of 6 years. My daughter is functioning again. The paranoid symptoms have disappeared. It is worth the monthly lab work. She's been on for 5 years, and no side effects. I don't think our daughter would be alive if not for this medicine."


"I have a extreme panic disorder and have tried many different medicines for this reason. Not until, I was prescribed xanax  was I able to settle down, slow my breathing, and my heart wasn't beating so hard, like it was coming out of my chest."


"I've been using Tretinion for a week now & it has only made my face breakout more. Still using it to see if it gets better. My doctor told me it pushes out all of the gunch out of my pours. Which make sense to why I'm breaking out. Hoping it gets better in the next 1 to 2 weeks from now. Will keep updated. Pray for my skin!"


"I have been using this medicine for a few months now. No matter how much I wanted to feel better by doing so, this medicine never made any difference. I still have angina regardless of taking the tablets regularly 20 mg, twice a day."


"I was on the Kireva birth control pill 3 years ago for 2 years straight and experienced no problems. I recently decided to go back on the pill but was suggested Monessa by my doctor. The first week I was on the pill I thought I was experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. Unbearable stomach/pelvic cramping to the point where I couldn't even sit up straight, headaches, complete loss of energy, crazy mood swings, loss of appetite/being disgusted by foods I normally love, and terrible nausea at all hours of the day, and very painful breast tenderness starting at the beginning of the 2nd week. I can't wait to get off of this. Ugh! 0/10"


"Abilify has truly changed my life. Before I started taking it I was crying every day for hours a day, I felt a sadness for what seemed like no reason, and it just would not go away. I started with 2.5mg and felt no change but at 5mg I felt a drastic improvement in my mood. I take it in addition to Adderall XR for ADHD. I was taking Vistaril for my anxiety but that doesn't do anything but make you ridiculously tired, so I just got Klonopin, going to give that a try. My only drawback to Abilify is that for me it makes me very tired so I take it at night."


"Second time I have used, first was for a 3 day cruise this time for 5. I was OK while wearing it but a few hours after I took it off I got dizzy and very nauseated with blurred vision. Dramamine helped some. Next day I felt awful but ran a half Marathon and ended up in urgent care because I was so nauseated after and my arms were tingling. He gave me meclazine which has helped some but its still going in 4 days later. Hoping it ends soon."


"I used to have some leakage, and sudden urges to urinate. Detrol has fixed all of that... but I have noted a strange side effect, I think it delays my period sometimes. I will go a week thinking I'm going to start my period and I wait. One night I forget Detrol, and I have my period. Other than that, Detrol is a wonderful pill!"


"I have been on Paxil now for 10 months, I am on a high dose 40mg.  However it is working wonders for me.  I love how I feel, and my anxiety is a lot lower than it use to be, and I feel like I can operate in a normal fashion be it at work or out in a social situation.

The draw back, is do not run out of your prescription, always be on top of it.  I ran out of it, and the withdrawal side effects are not fun, for me I got really depressed and crying, and the headaches are horrible.   I realize I will be on this prescription for a very long time.  But for those who may not be, make sure you listen to your Dr. when getting off of it.  It is not fun when not in your system.

Again, Love love how I feel.."


"I took sertraline twice. Before it helped a lot, been off it for a year or so and I need to get back on it but I'm scared to take the first pill."


"I get anxiety and depression. I've tried several antidepressants and for anxiety too none worked for me. They would cause drowsiness and didn't even work for my anxiety. I would be around my co-workers even felt like I was twitching and they couldn't walk by me because I felt like ants all over my body. I started taking Brintellix 10 mg and I'm only 114 pounds. It works great for me, more alert at work and wake up at 6 am and feeling refreshed. "


"Hello! Im 25 years old and have been on birth control since high school. This is my first time using Implanon. I had implanon put into my arm in October 2015. My arm hurt for a few weeks and every time I extended my arm, it felt like I was pulling on the scar tissue around the implanon making it feel very uncomfortable. A few weeks later, my period came and it never stopped. I was bleeding every day for almost 6 months. It finally stopped 2 days ago! Honestly, I was worried at first but then I read reviews and some women had the same problem. My periods were really light. I wore a panty liner everyday and that was enough."


"I've been on Belviq for almost 2 weeks. I read all the reviews here before I started, hoping to get a better idea of what it's like. The most important thing I want to stress is this pill works but only if you put the effort into eating healthy and gradually add exercise. By about the 8th day I really noticed my appetite decreasing. My mood is way better and the tiredness I felt the first week is gone. I tried one pill a day but felt like it works better with two. I'm on day 12 and down 10 pounds. Do your research, talk to your Dr. It doesn't have phentermine. It seems to work like an SSRI except it's hitting an area that controls hunger. I sleep better, feel better, and would recommend Belviq to change your relationship with food!"


"When I get a cold I get the worst cough imaginable.  I actually reach a point where I feel I'm choking and gasping for air.  I have had this problem my whole life (50  years)  and I have only found one thing that works and that is Hydrocodone Acet
It works within a couple minutes of taking it and lasts for at least 4 hours.  It is a miracle drug to me.  Because it is a narcotic, I only allow myself to take it at night time and has to be a horrible horrible cough.  Lucky - no side effects."


"I have tried inhalers, patches, gums and zyban. After being addicted to nicotine since the age of 8 and cigarettes later in life, I tried Chantix. It is amazing. January 2007 was my last smoke at age 33. I started with the 1mg dose and on the first day of taking it, cigarettes tasted terrible. At first, I thought maybe just the cigarettes. After trying other brands, no it's the medicine.

After that, I was like what's the point? It tastes terrible and it gave me no enjoyment.

After seeing so many of my family members sick and dying from tobacco over the years,I knew it was time to quit or follow their path."


"I have had it for a few months now and haven't had to many problems. No spotting at all, very light and short periods although period pain has been a little worse than usual. No increase of appetite and no loss of sex drive. I like that I don't have to worry about it again for three years. My only real issue is I have noticed I'm having a lot more mood swings though."


"I got the Implanon on April the 15th, and didn't bleed until 10th of May, when I started spotting. I spotted for about a week and then all hell broke loose (literally) I've been bleeding heavily for 2 months now. People are telling me it stops after 3 months, but I've read others saying they've had it for 7-12 months! I have always had problems with my ovaries so generally that time of a month is killer, going on the Implanon was purely to ease my periods, not getting pregnant is a bonus. I rate it a 9 on birth control. You can't have sex from all the bleeding; so you can't get pregnant.."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Obviously no one takes this medicine willingly!  That being said I refrigerated both 6oz bottles.  I mixed them with cold water and added a packet of lemonade mix.  The key to getting this down quickly and tastelessly was to use a very wide straw, not the regular ones.  I was able to get each drink down in less than 10 seconds with very little taste.  Trust me, get the widest straw you can find.  It'll make this experience much more tolerable."


"Tried pill form birth control for a few years before getting off of it because it caused some strange mood swings/anxieties. Felt better off birth control for 1 full year but decided to try Mirena because I was getting my period after like 10 days from stress/etc. I took 4 Advil the morning of and the procedure was a bit uncomfortable but it kind of reminded me of getting an ear piercing ... it's painful but it's not like the worst type of pain ever. I  just did a lot of deep breathing through it. Had cramping for a few days but just keep the Advil pumping! Discharge in the beginning, but pretty much smooth sailing now 2 months later. It's great!"


"Oh my god these pills are amazing. I had a friend suggest I look into them and so I went to a naturopath. The difference between levothyroxin and desiccated is huge! Since day one of taking naturally desiccated thyroid I have had energy that I haven't experienced since before puberty and I'm almost 30! I had the flu and a sinus infection as well as a lung infection and I switched over during that time and even though I wanted to rest my body, I couldn't stop cleaning my house. I'm feeling better now of course and the energy hasn't died down. I actually caught up on laundry and as a mother, I didn't think that was possible...

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get more energy."


"I was prescribed this medication for breakthrough pain. It works better than the oxycodone and I rate it a 10. They would highly recommend this medication to people with severe pain to help with the breakthrough pain. This is Dilaudid which is a very effective medication post surgery."


"The taste is terrible. I would rather there not be a lemon or sweet taste.  Thought I was going to be sick.  Holding breath, nose and big gulps is helpful.  This stuff does work though. I have a colonoscopy in the morning.  I suffered through the first liter at 6 pm and the second at 10 pm.  Couldn't make it through the entire 2nd liter.  I had about 2 oz left.  Good luck everyone!"


"This medication is the best thing since slice bread. I have tried countless times and about all available methods to quit smoking. After 14 years of a pack a day of Marlboro reds I decided to try Chantix! Two weeks in I was a nonsmoker! I had only very minor side effects such as slightly more vivid dreams and a stomach ache if I forgot to eat prior to taking it. You have to want to stop for this to work, it makes the cravings for a smoke so much more manageable and few and far between. Remember to let family or friends know if you start taking this so they can watch for signs of problems like depression as there is a chance that Chantix can have negative effects on mental health in some patients."


"I looked through all the information on MucinexD but didn't find anything about diarrhea as a side effect. I had severe diarrhea after taking the first two tablets. The next day I took 1 tablet and had diarrhea. So, I don't think I'll take any more."


"THOUGHT: Everyone's body is different, but also be mindful and rational about external forces and behaviors causing issues, be mainly with mood/relationship problems. After 2 years off from taking hormonal birth control. I'm about to reach the inert pill week and so far this is what I've experienced: Tender breasts/nipples, but up 1 size; Improved mood  (history of mood swings, but they were mainly as  teenager, I am now 22); Improved complexion; More intense clitoral sensation; Mild vaginal dryness; Minimal if no weight gain (attributed to increased appetite in general with hormonal birth control); Maybe a mild decrease in libido; No bloating. "


"I have been on almost all of the available antipsychotics, and olanzapine/Zyprexa is by far the most "normalizing" and stabilizing medicine of them all that I've ever been on. I have been on clozapine also, but olanzapine has less risks. I gained a lot of weight on it, but at least it lets me focus, concentrate on having a decent life."


"I was given this medicine to take for seven days, four times a day.  Within the first day or so of taking it I was suffering with a feeling of acid stomach, nausea, complete lack of appetite."


"I was on this for 8-9 months and it was fine until all of a sudden I had HEAVY breakthrough bleeding for almost two months straight (excluding the 6-7 days AFTER my period - then it would come back out of nowhere). After enduring this for two months, I went to by OBGYN and she prescribed me Tri-Estarylla, which doesn't have great reviews. I was fine on Loryna up until 8-9 months. Not sure what went wrong there. I will say I have been pretty depressed for several months, but as someone prone to depression, I didn't necessarily attribute that to the medication. I'll see if anything changes now that I've switched. Good luck."


"I have been on this medication for about 5 to 6 months. And it works great for birth control. Even if you miss a pill or too by a little bit, you're still protected and it doesn't effect your period. But ever since I got on the pill, I'm not myself. I'm constantly depressed, and get bad mood swings. And my I have literally no sex-drive what so ever."


"Abilify worked pretty good for five years with Prozac.  But then I became morbidly obese, with elevated bad lipids and prediabetes.  Also, I was constantly in fear of tardive dyskinesia.  I no longer take it."


"I only took this med at the 50mg dose for two days and quit.
Felt doped up and nauseous soon after first dose. Next day was completely out of sorts, depth perception was off, felt outside myself, brain fog, headache, shaky, numbness in hands, burning in heals, no appetite, nothing tasted right, pop had no sweetness, next day same symptoms to a lessor extent with a constant tremor, overheating with movement, confusion, mood swings and horrible mental fog, then a headache hitting about 9 out of 10, worse than my average. I decided to discontinue that evening. The next day felt hungover, had light sensitivity, diarrhea and an upset stomach. Next day, the cloud slowly has lifted, my taste buds have not returned yet and pretty fatigued."


"I had very bad cystic acne that was worse during my cycle. I tried oral antibiotics and they were somewhat effective but I still had issues around my cycle and they are not for long term use. So I started this and halfway through the second pack/month my skin was completely smooth and pimple/ whitehead free. I could not be happier.

When I first started taking this I had a very bad breakout, but by the time I hit the third week of the first pack my skin started to improve. My hyper-pigmentation that was left behind is getting better since I am not having any new breakouts.

I was worried that this generic would not be as effective as the name-brand OTC-Lo, but it is great and free on my insurance!!!"


"I just started Sprintec four days ago, this is the first birth control ever for me I am 23. The main side effect on day one was nausea, I was so sick I slept by the trash can that night. It has been getting better though. I will write an update review when I finish the first pack."


"I have had vertigo for 4 weeks now, and absolutely nothing has helped with getting rid of it. My doctor prescribed me Meclizine. I took it and no changes to my vertigo whatsoever. Now on to the next drug."


"Effexor Saved Me After Many Failed Medicines.

Current Med Combo- Effexor 75 mg, Lamictal 200 mg, Abilify 5 mg

It saved me from wasting anymore time locked up in my house 24/7 and avoiding conversations, knocks at the door, people, telephone calls, and anything else involving socializing.

I FINALLY LEAVE MY HOUSE. WILLINGLY and REGULARLY. Daily.  I NO LONGER FEAR APPLYING FOR JOBS. I NO LONGER FEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A JOB because I would have to deal with people. I am willing and eager to go out with friends, family, acquaintances, meet new people.

SIDE EFFECTS- Only Nightmares, which eventually become less and less and then go away after 2 months. Maybe a little unpleasant at first. Definitely bearable.

It's not bad for everyone."


"I have been taking Abilify for a week. It has already taken the edge off the rages.  However, am still experiencing high anxiety.  My family says I am calmer so that is deinitely a plus.  I feel tired and wired at the same time - it is a weird feeling.  I am very paranoid.  I was paranoid before but this seems to have made it worse. But I am only on 2 mg's. At least the rages are better.  I am hopeful that this medication along with help from my doctor will be enough to get my life back."


"As I type this it is hard to relay it understandably because of the Topamax. I researched Topamax and heard it suppressed eating and stabilized mood which I figured would helped my bulimia, which I have been getting help for and am in recovery for. The Topamax definitely suppresses the desire to eat and have cravings which is great. You do lose weight. However, it created other problems. I didn't realize it but I was increasingly having a harder time talking to people. I can't do homework, write papers, and my relationship with my boyfriend- we ended breaking up. My hair falls out. I had bad anxiety, I thought I was going insane. I then researched side effects of Topamax and now realized this is what I am experiencing. I'm getting off."


"Zoloft has been a lifesaver. Something that helps keep my crippling MDD and SAD at bay and make it through life normally. Even happier as this was the 1st antidepressant I tried and it worked! Also no side effects at all. Thank you God."


"I just had it inserted today, and the pain when inserted wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I've had very minimal period cramps all day after having the Kyleena inserted, and a very small amount of bleeding but besides that it isn't too bad at all! I would recommend it over the pill anyday!"


"It does fix the problem, but I get heavy abdominal pains."


"I have just taken Ativan 1mg this morning. I feel just like I felt before all of this anxiety took over my life. I am happy to be me again, hopeful for it to be this easy for future attacks. I am so tired of the doctors in the ER knowing me by face and first name basis because of this condition. I started to lose my mind and had my entire family worried about me. But now after just 1mg of Ativan just today, I feel like I can get through this. If you experienced a panic attack and you are not stressed out you too will think that you are being mis-diagnosed just like me all 17 times in 2 months in the ER, but after taking Ativan I believe the doctors now and I thank them!"


"I've had acne since I was about 13, I'm 16 now and 6 months ago I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me Acanya in the mornings, Tazorac at night and minocycline twice a day and he advised me to apply a moisturizer underneath both the Acanya and Tazorac because before I was using Proactiv and it made my skin super sensitive to everything and it kind of takes a while to work. I was told it would take 12 weeks to see a "considerable" difference. I did see a great difference after 12 weeks, but I wasn't totally clear so I kept on using all the products and currently I only breakout once every two weeks and they go away rather quickly, but I have a lot of scars, which is what the Tazorac is for. It just looks so much better than it did!"


"I have had Eczema, for my whole life. I am a woman in mid 40's. It seems to be mainly stress related and has been fairly awful the past 10 years. I stopped kenalog shots about 6 years ago, my eyesight and joints were suffering. The past 6 years have been hell.
My allergist helped get me this drug and even worked with the pharm rep to get a coupon for zero co-pay (using commercial insurance). I am thrilled to have had my first 300 dose just a few days ago. Within hours my skin felt softer. I have read all the studies and appears you will see max results between 30-45 days so I will come back and write more. I do see my eczema clearing up -- I am very flaky on my face right now so that is itchy but the intense itch seems to have subsided."


"I have just started Nuvaring a week ago today.. my period is usually only 3 days light.. its finally ending now - 7days later.  This is my first time on birth control in about 5 years.. It was easy to insert.. I did feel it during sex.. but not horribly.. I did break out - I have a VERY clear like complexion that rarely ever gets one pimple.. so I was disappointed in that. I am really sad and depressed feeling tonight, or more moody this week for sure."


"Update from August 2011: This medicine gave me back my life! I take one 8mg. tablet every morning and I feel like a normal woman again. No more worrying about finding a bathroom every place I go to. Only side effect I experience is a dry mouth sometimes. It is a very costly medication unfortunately but the results could not be better. Highly recommend trying it. It literally changed my life for the better!"


"Didn't help at all, it did give me terrible heart burn though."


"Works great for my anxiety. Have experienced some negative side effects such as terrible night sweats and "highs and lows"."


"I've been on just about every benzodiazapine there is and Valium (diazepam) is all around the best for combating debilitating anxiety symptoms.  It may not be the most potent benzo, but it has wide and equal benzo effects including sedation, muscle relaxation, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and can be used for insomnia.  Now the main reason why Valium is the best is its extra long half life.  It's effects can linger for days which is helpful if you have chronic anxiety.  It also prevents those ups and downs short acting benzos cause like Xanax and Ativan.  Another thing to note is withdrawal from Valium is by far the most mild out of ALL the benzos.  This wonderful medication is an oldie but goodie."


"I was dealing with severe insomnia for a few months. Dr prescribed 10mg. It helped me fall asleep noticably quicker. No sleepwalking or anything, but then one night my work woke me after an hour or so and I was slightly impaired; stumbling through bedroom and slurring words. Felt like being drunk except that my mind was still fine, just body delayed. Otherwise,  it has been free of side effects and gets job done - except for heartburn. Experience it nightly after taking ambien and take an antacids"


"I have chronic pain in my muscles and joints. Diagnosed as unspecified auto immune. Hla-b27 positive. My uncle suffered from anyklosing spondylitis.I have suffered all symptoms except crohns disease and spinal fusion."


"Me and my bf had unprotected sex on the day of my ovulation period. I'm so panicked and worried that I may get pregnant so I got this plan B but the next day we met again and we had sex again the thought of being safe coz i just taken the Plan B 13 hrs ago. I don't know if it works that way.
Please comment if you guys have experience like this before.
Still worried of being pregnant."


"I started taking Belviq on July 15th. After the first 15 days free trial period, I lost 8 lbs. Before Belviq, I ate healthy foods but I felt hungry all the time and wound up snacking at night and even after a heavy dinner. Now I get full right away halfway through my meal and I don't snack at night any longer. To date, I've lost 15 lbs and counting! I had minor side effects - mostly tiredness. Been taking vitamin supplement and my tiredness has taper down. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!"


"My husband had pain in his testicles for over a year, he saw two different urologists, was referred to a pain clinic and they could not help him. Our GP prescribed Lyrica and after two pills he is pain free. It is a God-send. I wish more doctors knew about this medicine."


"I'm 21 years of age, dated a guy who BEGGED TO be in a relationship with me and I eventually fell in love. I thought he was perfect and would never cheat on me. I found out he had a fiancé and I was heart broken. I got an STD testing , and found out I had my first STD. I was give 2 500 mg of Azithromocyin.  I was advised to take it on a full stomach. I was fine until an hour later, my stomach hurt tremendously and I started shaking for about 45 min then it subsided after I said a prayer to God to please help me!

**please if you're dating someone make sure you both get tested. Do not go by their words, or even if you trust them, bc they might not know they are infected. Practice safe sex !!"


"Acyclovir 800 tab 4 times a day for 5 days. First pill stopped the cold sore in its tracks it immediately stopped growing with just the first pill. Second day the tingling phase stopped, they erupted, and by the end of the 2nd day they were drying out. I had to stop at the end of day 2 due to this medicine being too strong for my stomach. I ended up with a gastritis flare up, terrible stomach pain, diarrhea and nausea. If it wasn't for that, this medicine would get 10/10!"


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


"I've had this birth control in for almost 3 years now, and I have went from 156 lbs to 224 lbs, I never have been a heavy eater. This birth control really makes you gain a lot of weight. It seems like its almost impossible to lose weight on the birth control my weight stays inbetween 225-210 never any lower or any higher. I do the calorie counts, I watch what I eat, I excercise, it just will not go away.  DO NOT PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK IT IS NOT WORTH IT"


"My husband had Hep C Genotype 1a. He is 57. We got the diagnosis 5 years ago. They think he has had this for at least 25 years. He got a tattoo our in Sturgis at a raunchy bar. No needle use. That being said, he wasn't a good candidate for previous treatment until Zepatier came along. We were so happy and grateful this medication came along and covered by our insurance. After 2 week's his viral load was at 0 and his blood work was normal with all liver tests. He had severe joint pain while taking  this medication. He has been off of zepatier for two weeks now, he feels worse than he ever had in his life. Severe fatigue, weakness, no appetite, joint pain and depression. I can honestly tell you, he would not have taken this medication."


"Works better than Oxycontin and oxycodone. I'm far from pain free but it does help. Worst side effects of the medicines are the sweat freezes."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Midrin is the absolute best migraine medicine on the market. I have suffered from moderate migraines for years and this is the only medication that I have found to provide fast results. If I take the medicine as I'm supposed to, it will relieve my migraine in about 15 minutes. I would be lost without it."


"Entering the 7th hour of the process during my 1st infusion; I experienced annoying itching deep within my ears, back of throat, head and face.  Shortly after the "push", increasing the drip, I broke out into hives on my face, head and neck with red welts ironically appearing in the areas where I had historically given myself the Enbrel injections...front of both thighs and stomach.  Enbrel had stopped its effectiveness after almost 2 yrs and it had been almost 1 month from my last injection prior to the infusion.  My Dr made the decision to discontinue the infusion fearing that my allergic reaction may cause anaphylaxis."


"What an amazing product. I have struggled with acne for about 10 years (now 22), my entire T-zone has always had blackheads which (although not good for the skin) I have been extracting almost every second day. It has made me extremely frustrated that no matter how much money I spend on keeping my skin healthy, it was always a temporary fix. I wanted an alternative to the pill as I was terrified of the side effects it came with. The doctor gave me Duac. I have been using this product every night (after I moisturize) and I am now on my fifth day - ALL OF MY BLACKHEADS ARE GONE. Don't ask me how! I have not had any peeling, dryness, redness or burning. There is only a small tingling sensation when applied. This is a lifesaver of a product."


"I was prescribed this medication because I'm allergic to some of the more common pain killers. I took it a total of 2 weeks, daily as prescribed.  I had horrible hallucinations  became severely depressed, had insomnia and I felt like every ounce of joy was sucked out of my body. I had the strangest experiences with this medication. I felt like I left my body. Once,  I saw myself jumping off the balcony. I was clearly hallucinating. It was the worst experience from a medication I've ever had.  I was extremely distraught but, had no idea why. My husband freaked out and rushed me to the doctor. I was told that it was side effects of the medication. I had to be weaned off of it by a dr. Even under the Dr's care, I had horrible withdrawal sympto"


"Vimpat saved me!

After years of off and on again seizures (petite mal), I struggled with Epival as a lone source of control. A few years ago my Neurologist combined Keppra to my medical regiment. It worked fairly well for about a year or two in controlling my seizure. One of the major problems was that my emotions went wild. When I was happy I was ecstatic, when I was sad I was depressed and when I was perturbed, well, I was furious and not fun to be around!

Sadly, my seizures returned and then my Neurologist placed my on Vimpat (together with Epival). Since the change life has become MUCH better. I am back to my normal self. The person I was many years ago, and I am ever so grateful!"


"I have major depressive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety.  I take two antidepressants and Buspar and Valium for anxiety.  I have begun taking 10 mg of Valium several times a day and it helps calm my million mile an hour brain.  I wish I didn't have to take so much medication but to live a normal daily life, they are necessary."


"My doctor put my on Depo-Provera after laproscopy for endometriosis.  I had irregular periods after the first shot and after the second I remember I had one period that seemed to last for a month. This is a known side effect and as promised it went away after the third shot.  I haven't had my period now in about a year.  I also haven't had any debilitating endometriosis symptoms either.  I think I gained about 5 lbs total but then again I'm also in my 40s and that could simply be a part of aging. I am a big fan.  It gave me nearly total relief after getting through the first 6 months."


"I suffer from an acute panic disorder which causes me depression. Paxil is a great drug along with my Xanax. I take 30mg a day of Paxil in the morning and 0.5mg 3 times a day of my Xanax. Without Paxil I would have the fear all the time even if I take the Xanax. This drug has saved my life, as most of us know that having a panic disorder with depression it feels like you are crazy yet we are not. I would recommend this drug to anyone who suffers both depression and panic attacks. I also have agoraphobia which means I can not leave my house. Sometimes of course I have to yet someone is always with me. It has been 2 years now that I have not gone out on my own, because of my fears. I highly recommend Paxil to anyone. It works great for me."


"I was prescribed Suboxone, buprenorphine, for chronic pain in 2004. When the patch, Butrans, came along, I was given that, but it itched too much. Recently, I moved to an area that virtually has no idea that buprenorphine is great for pain relief. After much suffering, I found someone who would prescribe it for such, but my insurance also is behind the times and so after a few $200 copays, I heard about Belbuca so I tried it. After a couple of doses, I figured out the best way to open the pouch, and for the most part, it dissolved fine. The problem is its just too weak. The highest dose didn't cut it for me. I gave it up and accepted the generic sublingual tablets of buprenorphine, which are covered by my insurance. They are fine."


"Got athlete's foot in a college shower back in 1992. It spread to my toenails shortly after, and I tried everything to get rid of it or hide it. It only affected my left foot, but my big toe was horrible. It was three times thicker than normal and really nasty. My best way of covering it up was duct tape claiming I banged it on something. I have taken Lamisil for a little over 30 days and the nails are all clearing up and the big toe looks amazing. I have dealt with this issue for over 20 years and am thrilled that it will no longer be an embarrassment. I would have given it a '10', but a bout of insomnia mixed with some really strange dreams took a point away."


"I have been on Prozac for about one month.  I feel like I am able to function again. The only issue I have is that I have no interest in sex and I have gained quite a bit of weight."


"I am 54 years old and was put on Levaquin in August. I had side effect from the medication that caused joint and tendon pain and damage. I used to take it when I was younger with a good outcome. It is now January and I still have very bad knee and tendon pain. Beware of the medication."


"I started with cyclic vomiting syndrome when I was 14, and was in out of hospital for years. It got to the point I suffered with an episode every week with only 3 days in between, until I was 22. I then saw a doctor that had heard of CVS, and he prescribed Amitriptyline every night and Zofran when an episode started, since then, now I'm 32, I have not had an episode. I still take Amitriptyline every night but it has defiantly stopped CVS and is a miracle for me."


"It works very fast."


"I was vomiting every 5 mins. As soon as I took the medicine the nausea and vomiting stopped."


"I'm on anti-coagulants permanently, previously on Warfarin without symptoms for three years before trying Pradaxa.  I have chronic gastritis, GORD, plus average 2-3 episodes of intestinal tract infections per year due to diverticulosis.
I tried Pradaxa 110mg twice daily for two weeks with bad symptoms developing after three days and becoming progressively worse.  Feeling unwell, tired, acid reflux, indigestion, upper abdominal ache and pain, bloating, belching, farting, diarrhoea, loose stools, and lastly, constipation in a person who has always been as regular as clockwork.
I took Pradaxa with food and 500mls of water and 20ml of antacid.  Bad move.  Back to Warfarin."


"I have been on buspirone for about 5 days now and I already feel the effects from it.  My mind is slightly slowing down and my whole body is starting to balance out a little bit already.  Anxiety has controlled my life for years and though it's only a slight difference, I am confident because it's only been 5 days.  My only problem is that about 30 minutes after I take it, I sometimes feel a bit "loopy". It's not too bad and it only lasts about 20 minutes or so but overall, I'm confident that this medication will help me even more in the future."


"It works! Years of constipation problems was fixed by taking 250 mg of Magnesium everyday."


"Have used this product several times over recent years used for facial and scalp keratosis. It definitely works well although skin conditions seem to return after a year or two. Treatment involves application of ointment on week days (i.e. five days, with weekends off) for four weeks. The major side effect I have noticed is flu-like symptoms (coldness and body aches) and tiredness. The several times this has happened I have taken a day's break from treatment before resuming."


"I only took it for three nights before I gave up. It seemed to keep me up longer than usual. The worst part was that I was dizzy the next day almost like vertigo, usually when I go from a laying down to standing position. The room just spins. It's been three nights since I've taken the medication and these side effects have not gotten any better."


"Addiction.  I had to self wean off this drug"


"Very good."


"Love this medication has almost completely stopped all outbreaks, was having them about six to eight times a year mostly brought on by stress or my period, now taking acyclovir I'm outbreak free no side effects noticed."


"Took it on Thursday evening, June 20, 2013.  Taste was OK .. no problems.  Started to work 45 minutes into taking first dose. Worked too well, was up all night on toilet.  2nd dose at 3 AM.  Finally stopped going about 6 AM.   Colonscopy appointment at 9:30 AM. My problem was being cold.  I wrapped myself up with a coat, blanket and bath towels and still froze.  Colonscopy prep was good and had one pre-cancerous polyp.  I'd use the product again because it takes only 8 glasses to drink, 4 with each dose."


"Okay, so I've only had Liletta for 5 days now but let me tell you it is like it's not even there. I feel like a lot of the bad comments are due  to the gyno that they choose to go to. Do your research first, call the office and ask if they have experience putting IUDs in, what you should know beforehand, and how long the doctor that will be doing the procedure on you has been doing it.
During the procedure, it HURT like a lot, and it kept hurting. But me not having kids and not being on my period didn't really help. After, I took some Tylenol 3, put on a pad, and drove home. That day, I had mild cramping and spotting. The day after was like nothing happened. 5 days later and I don't even remember that it's there."


"I've been on Diovan HCT for about a year.  I had previously been on lisinopril HCT also for high blood pressure for about 2 years before that, but began having side effects, which disappeared as soon as I switched to Diovan HCT.  I haven't had any side effect issues with Diovan HCT other than rare lightheadedness when standing quickly which is not so intense as to cause any problem.  And the big improvement for me in Diovan is that my blood pressure measured at home is much more evenly controlled.  With lisinopril HCT my blood pressure would be high one day and low the next and the lightheadedness when standing quickly could be so intense that at times I felt close to blacking out. All in all, Diovan HCT is worth the higher cost to me over the generic lisinopril HCT."


"Works better on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder than on depression. Also helps one sleep and counters nervous diarrhea."


"The first day of my last cycle was on May 29th, I had sex on June 13th, a day I was fertile. We used a condom but of course it broke and that was my only form of protection, he finished inside me because we didn't realize it till after. Took the morning after pill about 16 hours later (My Way) and was stressing out because I've been told if you've already ovulated it won't work but it was worth a shot. My period came two days early. I am truly lucky! My advice to you is to take your mind off things and stop searching so many different things that only scare you more. Wait it out."


"So far so good. I've been taking this pill for almost 2 months (I know it's kind of a short time to claim results) but it's been treating me well. I made sure I put an alarm on my phone to ensure that I take it on time everyday. So far I have experienced headaches from time to time. About two times, I took the pill about 2 hrs late and had light bleeding from then up until a week which is a pain. I know more time will tell for real results but just wanted to give a review of beginning side effects for me."


"I have Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD. Tried different kinds of medicines for my TS. Depending on my day, I could have some to a lot of tics. Topamax did wonders for my tics, but it can have side effects that are similar to ADHD symptoms - different remembering some words/names when asked, unable to concentrate, etc. I also experienced that my thought-pattern were kind of limited to a certain degree, as I would sometimes have difficulties thinking further ahead. This medicine however, was much better than other kinds I've tried. "


"I have only been on this medication for about a month, and I've felt the best I've felt in over two years. I feel my self esteem has increased, as well as toleration of speaking to people and being in crowds. Only thing is that my appetite has gone up somewhat, and I've gained a little weight. But that is only a small price to pay for a happier life."


"Just started my second week starting weight was 100.5 kg weighed myself this morning I'm 97.2kg so in 9 days lost about 6lbs must say first two days had severe headaches but by 3rd day settled down. I tried every medicine but nothing worked, but this seems to be shifting the weight. "


"I was prescribed to take this medication for 10 days due to my chlamydia infection,after I had suffered from bacterial prostatitis.
Side effects very mild,mostly upset stomach.In comparison with cipro,which was the worst drug ever (stuffed up my muscles and I had problems concentrating,along with anxiety),this one did not give me so much discomfort.
The thing is,it did not clear my infection.
This is my day 2 after having to take it again,I still have the symptoms.
The thing is,I was prescribed 3 doses of azithromicin as well,so I don t know what to do to get rid of this bacteria.
I hope,this time it will work."


"This is very helpful to me. Thanks."


"I had two very different experiences with Propranolol.

After a long break from work after having a baby, I needed Propranolol to start all the interview process, etc.

After taking it everyday  (40mg twice a day), I  developed a terrible Insomnia.

Then I found myself in a nightmare taking something to calm me down in day time and not having any sleep AT ALL at night because of it. So I was prescribed sleeping pills. I managed to stop it all after a few months and took nothing for years.

I started feeling a bit anxious once again and started Propranolol couple of weeks ago.

I realised that if you take it small doses, only when needed, it's actually fine. Just before speeches, interviews, 10mg up to 20 mg. No Insomnia! Good luck"


"Was so traumatized to take this med based on other reviews. I'm 120 and 5"4 and get sick and nauseous from even one tynenol regular strength. I got pedialyte to prepare... Took the pill and waited. And NOTHING happened except my uti going away. Do yourself a favor and don't read the Internet. Trust your dr!"


"I completed the third shot in the series on Thursday before Thanksgiving. After the first and second shots I experienced about a 90% reduction in pain and did not need to take any pain medication at all.  After the third shot I started experiencing more pain again and needed to start using pain medication again.  I am hoping it goes back to the 90% with no pain medication."


"The good - Was given 25mg for sleep issues. It sure definitely helps with sleep. Will knock ya out at 25mg. Ambien was not very effective and its very dangerous drug if you wake up while taking it, will never take Ambien again.

The bad - I feel like I'm in a groggy haze for 4+ hours in the morning. Very sedated and slow thinking. Also seemed to cause intense dreams in the beginning.

Don't think I will, or can continue on a daily basis. I have things to do during the day. Could be useful if you really need some good sleep and don't have much to do the next day."


"I got the nexplanon at my 6 week check-up after having my son in Jan 2015, and I have to say I absolutely HATE THE NEXPLANON!! I'm on my 3rd one due to pain in my arm all the time and now thinking about getting it removed since the new one I got a week ago is killing me!! I have put on about 40lbs since Feb 2015 since I got my 1st implant and can't seem to lose it, I have mood swings, feel tired all the time and shed hair all the time! I really miss the implanon it was so much better than the nexplanon !"


"I had one ring worm that developed near the inplant and then after a few days, many more began developing around my body. The doctor said its just a ring worm when I consulted after one appeared but now that many more are developing everywhere its clearly a reaction from the implant. Has anyone experienced this? I need help and am in state of panic because I don't know what is wrong."


"I'm 18. I've been super moody since I started Aviane, I haven't noticed any difference on my acne yet but I've only been on it for a month. It makes me SO INCREDIBLY TIRED. I've never slept so much in my life. Other than that I haven't noticed any other side effects."


"I've been taking klonopins for about 7 yrs for anxiety,panic attacks and insomnia. I also have some oral facial pain that I deal with on a daily basis,from a damaged nerve in the roof of my mouth. I'm up to 8mg a day now,but there are some nights I have to take all four of my 2mg klonies at one time and I still don't get any sleep. This is bad to say but I've taken 10 of them at once and still didn't sleep. I guess my tolerance for them has changed. But I run out before time to refill sometimes. That's when I GET Rls. When I go more than 2 or 3 days without any klonopins,its the first withdrawal symptom I have. I've never had Rls before in my life and I can tell u it really sucks. So I can sympathize with the people that have it all the time"


"I have bad anxiety and am severely depressed and have bad insomnia. Doctor prescribed me Ativan. I took one at night to help me sleep. It helped me sleep alright all night. Woke up had a coffee then promptly fell asleep again had lunch at 1130 was up for an hour and a half. I then promptly fell asleep again the whole afternoon. That is the one and only time I took one. I told my GP I was prescribed this and told him I am not taking anymore as all I do is sleep. I do not know what is worse insomnia or sleeping all the time. He then told me to keep taking it what did he not understand. So I am not taking it anymore and will just deal with it on my own with no pills."


"I have been diabetic for 5 years and recently came off insulin to try Onglyza and have been on it for 8 days. On insulin my fasting was on average 120 but have not been able to get my fasting below 175 on this medicine. I still take metformin and would like to see if this works and not go back on insulin.  I have noticed  I have less appetite on Onglyza and have lost 2 pounds and have not had any other side effects.  I am hoping the medicine just needs to build up in my system.  Any suggestions  to bring down my fasting number would be appreciated."


"I have chronic constipation, i'm 31 and had this all my life...having a troublesome time going regularly, i hate taking fiber cuz it just bloats me and fills me up more with no effect...it might work for 1 day but affer that i'm in the same boat! I usually take slimming tea with a senna leaf in it, but it gives me extreme cramping! I decided to try ducolax, I took 1 pill to be on the safe side and it worked with mild cramping, maybe in the next few days I will try half a pill but you have to drink a lot of water with it."


"Have suffered with back pain for 22 yrs. I'm 60 yrs old now.  Started taking nortriptyline 4 days ago. While I know that's not very long I can say back pain is much better. Depression is much better. Overall feeling is much better. Sleeping better and longer. I have noticed some drowsiness but not a lot. I hope things continue in the direction I'm currently headed. Good luck!"


"I just had my first mirena replaced. I had it for 8 years! It was expired but the doctor said it was ok. After 8 years my periods began to come back. 8 years of no pregnancy, no periods, and no complications. I just had it replaced today and once again it was a horrifically painstaking experience but well worth it. Hopefully this one works for me as well as the last one did."


"When I first started jeopardy I noticed instability with my emotions, especially anger.  After a complete rage out I decided to do some research and discovered that taking a vitamin b6 supplement helps to reduce or eliminate this effect.  The results were instantanious with me.  If you take keppra I strongly recommend getting the b6 supplement.  I take 1 in the morning with breakfast."


"Apart from a few years where I switched to speed I've been a binge drinker for over 20 years. Recently the binges have been more frequent and lasting longer. After the truly awful withdrawal  symptoms subsided I'd last a few days at most before beer started calling my name again. As the saying goes I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I discovered campral by accident and it's as close to a miracle as you can get. I'm amazed. That voice inside my head is finally silent!"


"I have had difficulty staying asleep for several years after having open heart surgery. My doctor prescribed temazapam 15 mg. It helped some but I continued to wake up at 2 or 3 AM as I had prior to having the med. Only difference was I would fall back to sleep around 5 AM (without the med I never fell back to sleep). Doc increased to 30 mg and I slept better but still would awaken at 2 or 3 AM eventually falling back to sleep. I started taking 50 MG of benadryl around midnight when I would get up to go to the bathroom. IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. I now sleep all night every night. 30 mg temazapam around 9 PM, usually asleep by 10 PM. Take the benadryl around midnight. It works for me. Been on this regimen to around one month thus far."


"I have had my implanon replaced just over a month ago. Ive had a good three years in regards with this birth control, no side effects except ive had no period for three years (which im quite glad about.) The only thing with the replacement is ive had a bit of acne. Really large under the skin painful spots. I'm sure this is just the initial surge of hormones as it is a new one so hopefully this will subside. but other than that, no complaints!"


"This drug greatly helped my psoriatic arthritis, but not the plaque poriasis, which always came back.  I've been through the scrip topicals, light treatments, Amiveve, etc.  I was 98% covered.  Why did not a single doctor ever tell me NOT to touch beer????  If you drink beer put it DOWN and see how quickly you begin to clear up. Pork is another culprit as it is slow to digest and effects the immune system. For topical relief?  Try OTC Boudreaux's Butt Paste baby diaper rash cream, which far outshines Dovonex. Scalp treatment?  Nutrogena T-Gel Shampoo works quickly.  If you are severely covered add zinc or zinc supplements to your diet.  I haven't gone to a derm in years and I am clear!!!!"


"I took one pill at 2:50 am on a Saturday morning. By 4:10 am made my first bowel movement
 Feeling a little nauseous. Plus stomach cramping and burning in my butt as I was making the movement"


"First day today onot 37.5 MG. I'm a 5ft 3in female and have been struggling with weight loss after my divorce which according to my GYN put me into stress related menopause. I read a lot of reviews before starting and was excited and hopeful but also nervous about side effects. Today was a good day appetite was definitely suppressed but I did want to eat unlike most of the reviews I read. Biggest issue for me is how anxious I feel. I have anxiety and suffer from panic attacks. Took my pill at 6:30 am and it's now 10:45, hearts racing , jaw clenched  tight,I don't notice until it hurts. This medication is a last resort for me to regain some kind of self confidence. I will continue for the length of my prescription with hope great results."


"I was given Ativan for occasional use. I try to use it once every week or once every ten days for sleep. (0.5mg). I'm lucky that I don't have to use it any more regularly because I don't work right now. I find that it helps me relax to sleep, and I wake up feeling and looking rested. The looking rested part is important because it tells me how good it is at actually calming the anxiety. I know that when my anxiety is high, even if I sleep 10hrs, I'll wake up tired and looking tired. But I think this medicine actually does a good job of getting rid of that anxiety, so your body can rest and get into some level of "deep" sleep.

But absolutely, really only use it on the day that you must."


"Day two my kidney is not killing me .Able to go to the bathroom no burning feel so much better. 7 day supply Macrobid 100 mg one every 12 hours no side effects just a bad taste in my mouth"


"I was addicted to 30mg Roxicodone taking about 8 a day. Also would take whatever I could get my hands on with it (Xanax, Ambien, whatever to mess me up)I tapered down significantly on methadone and am on day 4 of detoxing from the methadone. Clonidine was very helpful for me because I had severe anxiety and withdrawals from the methadone (Not as bad as withdrawals straight from opiates, but last much longer) I had a lot of trouble With panic attacks extreme anxiety and absolutely nothing to give me any sort of comfort which mainly came from servere back pain that would affect my entire body. Clonidine helped me so much with being able to calm myself down and taking away some of the symptoms. Am still not completely better, but so happy for freedom!"


"My doctor prescribed 10 mcg vagifem,then another doctor after hearing my complaints of leg cramp and other vague problems told me to stop using it.

But there is nothing out there which works for me,Premarin cream is not for me,combipatch I gave up long ago,so 10 mcg vagifem seems to be my only option.

all the other non hormone lubrications do not work.

So if you are taking it,watch closely for side effects,10mcg is the lowest dosage,25 mcg is not allowed by FDA in USA."


"The only problem I have had with Vicodin is that it really upsets my stomach. Whether I have an empty stomach, full stomach or whether I eat right after I take it or right before. It doesn't matter. Still makes me so sick. So my doctor suggested that I crush it and add it to yogurt or something of that sort and it has been helping a lot. I don't know what the difference is but hey, it works and i'm pain free."


"I have been in severe all over body pain for about 4 years now. I am only 26 so no doctor believed when I talked about how debilitating my pain was, I wouldn't even get on the floor with my 4 year old because I was not able to get up off the floor without being in excruciating pain from my body getting stiff on me FINALLY after several doctors my current doctor discovered I have fibromyalgia. Until you experience the real pain that it truly has you can not be cynical about it as I once was. I now live in pain but this medication I take every 4 hours 1 x 7.5/200 and can actually enjoy life. No I'm not COMPLETELY pain free but no longer nauseated from too much Tylenol and for bad days take oxycodone. "


"Been taking it for about one month. Feel like a new person."


"I have mitral valve prolapse, female, 42. I started Bystolic, 5mg, a couple weeks ago, no palpitations, no dizziness, no headaches, no fatigue. My sleep is off a bit, but other than that, I feel great."


"I bought this laxative after seeing the commercial on TV - I thought it would be effective with few side effects. It is a complete waste of money. After 3 days I am extremely uncomfortable. I have constant abdominal cramps and pressure, terrible gas and only managed to pass a small bowel movement. I have even increased the dosing to twice a day to try and get relief but to no avail.  I will not use this laxative again."


"I just got my first shot 10 days ago. Was bleeding 2 weeks before the shot and it has not stopped yet- pain has gotten a little more intense, and has interfered with my sleep. Skin is also more dry than usual. My fingers are crossed that this will work- have had very painful cylces since I was a kid, and I'm ready to not have call in sick to work and miss social activites due to pain. No hot flashes, mood swings, or any other side effects- maybe due to the progestin I'm on. Will probably post in another couple weeks."


"I began having panic attacks in the middle of the night a few months ago and my doctor prescribed 0.5 mg of Ativan to take as needed. He told me it was fast-acting and would be out of my system in 6 hours. The first time I took it, my panic stopped in about 15 minutes. It was like someone turned the faucet off, just completely gone. I was able to get to sleep without problem for the first time in weeks. I did notice that it becomes considerably less effective if I take it more than 1-2 times in a week, so I try to do everything I can to calm down before reaching for the bottle. Currently starting Zoloft to help with underlying issues (have been on and off it before) and I keep this handy for any random anxiety spikes while my body adjusts."


"All started when I was about 18 years young. All typical symptoms - racing thoughts, palpitations, high blood pressure, dizzines, fear, choking feeling, chest tightness, fear of death and many other unbearable things which happens when anxiety becomes uncontrollable! Over the years I have had my good days and my bad days. Sometimes to a point where I don't want to live anymore, but then comes good days and to live is the thing I want the most. For those dark moments when close to panic xanax has really helped me! It gets me a bit calmer straight away, and then I can start breathing excercise and other little things which help to calm down. Without xanax I honestly wouldn't know what to do!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have used a C-PAP for about 4 years.  Before that I was on 2 liters of oxygen at night for 6 years. I always had some daytime sleepiness, but handled it with caffiene and more recently energy drinks.  The sleepiness was getting worse and I was having microsleeps during the day. Lossing consciousnesses at work for a few seconds, waking and not knowing whether it was 3 seconds or 10 minutes.  My sleep was good with C-Pap,  I thought and the doctor read the chip from it and it said it was good too. I was prescribed 150mg Nuvigil.  It was as if half of my circuit breakers were off and someone flipped them all back on.  Startling to say the least.  The first 2 days I had a low grade headache. Had to cut way back on coffee.  Miracle!"


"Very effective.  Same dose for 20 years.  Lasts 15 to 18 hours.  Used Lorazepam (Ativan) previously, but the effect faded within 8 hours."


"1st day and I will update yall. I weigh 195lb and mother of two. I work full time and constantly going with my daughters who are active.  Lets see if this pill works. I will be honest I am feeling a little slow but it just feels like I have had a few beers - nothing scarey ladies. Follow me"


"This is my first time on any high blood pressure medication. My new primary care physician noticed that recently it's been high during my visits so he decided to put me on Bystolic. The day he put be on this medication, (before I started it) I was driving to work in the morning and suffered what I can only assume a panic attack feels like (which is why I went to my doctor later that day). My heart was pounding through my chest, my face and arms went numb, chest pain and dizziness. Anyway, I have been on it for less than a month and have seen no negative side effects yet and my BP has been normal. The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because I have only been on it a short amount of time. We'll see if I get the same results over time."


"can't take nsaids for gout and inflamation"


"Xanax got me through a year or so of acute anxiety and debilitating panic attacks. I got rather attached to those pretty lavender pills. I called them "my darling little Easter eggs," they were so precious in relieving the terror that developed into agoraphobia. At max dose I was so sedated I started calling it "Zombinal." It had stopped working its magic, and under the care of a naturopath I simply stopped taking it. Amazingly, after a couple of shaky days, my anxiety diminished and panic attacks were history. I later learned that between depleted receptors and mini-withdrawls, Xanax was actually causing my symptoms. No more Xanax, no more panic, not even the slightest anxiety. I guess I got cured."


"I find remarkable, quantifiable relief within 24 hours when using the 1G pill. It takes a few days for complete return to normal but 99% of symptoms are gone within 24 hours in my otherwise healthy body."


"Took Invokana about 9 months. Glucose numbers were great. Started getting horrible yeast infection. It would not go away even with prescription medication. The itching started vaginal and anus area. I was miserable. No type medication would eradicate the itching. Infection got so bad my good white blood count cells could not fight off the infection in my body. Started feeling weak, extremely thirsty, eating so much ice my ice machine could not keep up with me. Started coughing a lot, short of breath, anemic. body aches, dry hair and skin, plus I still had the yeast smell. Had blood test performed at local hospital. White count cells was 247 thousand, normal is 10 thousand. Diagnosis Cancer Chronic Mylogenous Leukemia, my blood got infected."


"Be prepared for a "mental health day". My first 240mg dose wiped me out for a full 24 hours. I was dizzy and just plain off. Sitting to standing was a crash and burn experiment. It passed quickly and since 2nd day was okay."


"I've also been headache free for several years. Took everyday for three years. Saved my life too!"


"I'm a 13 year old girl going through puberty and of course puberty brings a bunch of annoying problems, including acne. My acne is mild but a few have pus in them and I'd rather not have that. I've had spots for about 3 years now, (the first year only using drugs over the counter) and my spots wouldn't disappear after that first year. I went to see the doctor as I had started to get bacne (back acne). He prescribed Duac, once daily gel. I honestly think Duac is the best thing I've ever used on my skin. I personally didn't experience any dryness or pealing and I think that's because I put a thin layer over my face and washed my face every morning and night with a good acne-banishing facial wash (such as Vichy). Few days, no spots!!"


"In 1971 I had surgery and was put on 1.25 Premarin and told I must take it for life. Now in the year of 2009 looking back on all, I have to say I wish I had refused the surgery and didn't take Premarin. They didn't tell us about the possible side effects in those days, told only we wouldn't understand. I reported side effects to doctors, who did nothing. My huge stomach is finally beginning to shrink after being off Premarin for years. "


"I've been on this for almost 2 years and every other birth control   I've ever taken has has given  horrible hormonal side effects. This one is great. I don't feel crazy,I  didn't gain any weight and it helps decrease the pain from my cyst. I take only the pills and skip the placebos each month in order to shrink my cyst which is in a tricky spot on my ovary and unable to be removed through surgery (I used to have to take a percocet to not feel the pain and it was frustrating). I only feel the occasional cramp but nothing compared to the stabby feelings I used to endure. The only thing that sucks with this is the occasional reddish brown goop that I think is my period refusing to die completely. My libido has also dropped SIGNIFICANTLY :( Anyone know a remedy for this?"


"Hello guys!

So I went to a local urgent care place on Saturday complaining about headache, chest congestion, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. I informed the doctor on duty that I've already taken my flu shot and I really don't think what I have is the flu. So after the typical check up, he diagnosed me with acute bronchitis/sinusitis and prescribed me Cephalexin 500mg 2xday for 10 days, today is my third day taking the meds and I feel better already. Not to mention, I think I might've had a vaginal bacterial infection or uti and that has cleared as well. Definitely killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Ohh...and the Dr. gave me a prescription for an extra 10 days...definitely will be saving them! Although it's not recommended, I'll use them again!!"


"I was really scared to get the IUD but had it inserted 9 months ago after being on and off the pill. Due to health reasons I had to choose an option that was low or no estrogen. I had mine inserted under anesthesia due to LEEP procedure ( Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) done on my cervix  a few years earlier. After insertion the cramps were really bad and I had a lot of bleeding. I had bad cramps on and off for a few months and quite a bit of spotting. I still get short brief cramps around my period. My period is longer than before but is very light and I can use just pantyliners. Compared to what I went through with the pill Mirena has been a lot better and it's nice not having to think about it.  My advice is everyone is different, so you won't know if it's for you until you try it."


"I hate it I got mine on August 4th 2017 what was supposed to be the last day of my period and I've not stopped bleeding since and I'm going on almost 3 months of none stop bleeding, my obgyn says this is normal for some women - well i just want it out!"


"I've been on this birth control for years,  with no side effects. No cramps. No weight gain.  No sore breasts. No bleeding through.  I haven't gotten pregnant and my acne has gone away.  I highly recommend"


"January 5th I was ovulating and me and my boyfriend hooked up, he came inside of me and I was totally freaking out. Went to Walgreen's to buy this wonderful gift and took it about 7 hours after we did the deed..I just started my period today! I'm so very happy and thankful for plan b, it works ladies!! I was completely skeptical about it since it was my first time taking it. I had mild side effects like it made me feel  nauseous, I had a huge headache, I was dizzy but 24 hours after I took it I felt much better. Make sure you take it ASAP before 24 hours is definitely your best bet!!! Trust plan b!"


"I started phentermine this am at 9, Dr put me on 15mg per day. Well I don't do drugs cause they scare me, and so do the side effects.  So I pulled the powdered capsule apart and sprinkled 1/2 the powder into my coffee. I'm a sipper so I just keep sipping all day long on a beverage of my choice. Around 11 am i went back and sprinkled the other 1/2 of the capsule on my coffee again. I wanted to get the rest of the pill down before 3pm, afraid of the side effect of insomnia. I already have insomnia pretty bad, I just can't shut off my brain. I will keep splitting the pill to see how I handle the side effects if any. I can say WITHOUT A DOUBT, this pill DOES CONTROL your appetite. I am still not hungry,  and very very excited about my journey."


"amazinggggggg!!!!!!! packaging needs to seriously be changed though. with narcolepsy, i have horribly low energy in the morning and the last thing i need is to have to spend 10 minutes struggling to get a tablet out. i usually fall asleep again before i'm even able to take it. no side effects so far, fingers crossed."


"I am a 35 year old female with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and generalised anxiety.  I've been taking lorezapam off and on for about seven years, only during panic attacks or particularly bad spells when my anxiety can't be managed by the coping techniques I've learned over the years through CBT, mindfulness meditation, etc, and my daily mental health medications (quetiapine, venlafaxine, and topiramate).

When I do need to use it lorezapam is a godsend.  It works more quickly than diazepam, which I'd previously tried, which is what you want when you're in the midst of a panic attack or suffering badly with anxiety.  It's very effective without being too much and I haven't had any side effects, just slight sedation."


"I have suffered from debilitating migraines for over 20 years. I feel like I have tried everything. Imitrex shots gave me my life back.  After taking a shot I normally need to lay down for 15 min but then I feel great. I used to suffer for at least 3 days. I never had any side effects."


"This is hands down the best thing that has ever happened in my life. My problem areas are my hands and feet. They would sweat so bad, the sweat would appear through my sandals and my hands would stick to my paper when writing in school. So embarrassing. I used Drysol for 3 consecutive nights and after the 3rd night, I was sweat free! I did not experience burning and itching until the third night and, boy, was it unconformable to sleep in. I now only use it once a week, but will cut down later on in the year. Drysol did make my hands very dry to the point when I rub then together, the dead skin/flakes would fall off (and a lot of it). I am in search for a good hand cream, but I am in no rush because dry hands are better then sweaty ones."


"Colds turn into sinus infections pretty easily on me. Yes I wait a while before I go to the doctor for antibiotics as most sinus infections are viral. By the time I went to the doc with this one I was MISERABLE. Hurting down into my jaw even. Within a few hours of taking the first pill there was relief. I never knew I could have so much disgusting stuff come out of my nose. I always take probiotics (especially while on antibiotics) to decrease GI side effects. TAKE PROBIOTICS. Nausea and diarrhea are possible with any antibiotic."


"Several side effects from this drug: diarrhea, slight headache, nausea, stomach cramping, oral thrush, yeast infection. But, the infection did clear up."


"I was on Celexa for a year and a half due to post partum. I slowly weened off it and was off for 6 months before the depression came back. I was then put on Pristiq. Big mistake. After 4 days, my pupils were dilated and I had sweats daily. I ended up being admitted to emergency and they said I had serotonin syndrome. Too much for me. "


"I've been taking this for almost a month now and I am not happy with it. My breast are always aching, I'm always hungry, and for the life of me I can't stop crying. The smallest things make me cry and I am usually not this emotional. Not only that but I feel sharp stomach cramps. I thought my body had to get used to the pill but I'm coming off now."


"I have been taking Effexor for 13 months now. Initially I was prescribed 75 mg while hospitalized at an inpatient psychiatric facility but that was increased to 150 mg by the time I was discharged. Never in my life have I felt this way - normal!! My crying spells, anhedonia, suicidal ideations, psychosis... it's all gone gone gone! This medication has saved my life. I am so happy to take my meds every morning."


"I've been having chronic yeast infections, for about 5 months up until about a month or so ago; took and used (using right now), the Monistat 7. Maybe just me, but I've had yeast infection stings, burns, etc. worse than the cream, it's honestly not THAT bad. Still extremely curious on what's in it and what it does inside of you."


"Efudex works great but is very painful and itchy after about two weeks. I tried many creams to relieve the symptoms between applications of the Efudex. One cream that REALLY helped was Traumeel. What a sanity saver. Just thought I would pass this on for others to get some relief. I hope it can help you too."


"Good medicine."


"I've only been on Lo Loestrin for a couple months, but I am very pleased so far. With other pills (and I've been on plenty) I break out, gain weight, am extremely moody, but this one has been a breeze. My skin looks great, haven't gained weight (my breasts are slightly bigger), and my mood is great. I think I finally found a pill that works for me. Also love that they offer a coupon card which makes my payment $35!"


"I have a constant headache with migraines  as well.  I use this when my headache gets really bad, and this brings it back to tolerable level and helps me sleep. I only use this as needed. Average less than 3 a week."


"I went through a weight loss program at my local hospital (protein shakes, healthy meal) I lost 48 pounds met my Goal August, 2015. Throughout my program and presently if I have a fatty meal I take an Alli maybe one every other day. It is amazing for weight loss maintenance in the past the pounds would be creeping I keep things in check but it is wonderful to occasionally have a treat. Highly recommend for post weight loss maintenance."


"Hi there, today was my first day on Qsymia, I experienced no appetite, but extreme fatigue. I have slept most of the day. I have a  headache and my eyes feel very heavy. My stomach hurt earlier but is ok now. I'm still very tired and my eyes still feel very heavy. NOT giving up, just getting started. I'm excited and willing to give this a chance."


"I've suffered from migraines since I was in the 3rd grade and I am now 23. I take Topamax every night to try and control my headaches but when I get a really bad one I use the Sumavel. HATE HATE HATE needles. So this works for me very good. There is pain with the injection but compared to the migraine, its nothing. A little bleeding at the site and always a bruise. I can instantly feel the medicine working in my body and within 5-7 minutes my migraine is gone. It's my miracle."


"I have been on every SSRI out there and they do nothing for me. I was on Remeron about 5 years ago and noticed a significant lift in my depression and felt as I did before I suffered from depression. It also allowed me to get the sleep I struggle so hard to get every night. After a layoff with no insurance I came off Remeron. I recently have suffered from major depressive disorder and was put on what was supposed to be the best of the best Lexapro. After a year I still saw no difference except for the lack of sex and asked my psychiatrist to switch me to Remeron. He was surprised but did so with no objection and I'm currently tapering off the Lexapro and only two weeks into it I am beginning to feel much better already."


"Having tried several different acne medications, and what seems like hundreds acne creams by brands like Clinique, Kiehls, Neals yard, Mario Bedescu and Clean & Clear, my dermatologist prescribed me epiduo. The 'purge' phase was awful, my skin got a lot worst before it started getting better, so bare that in mind when starting the cream. I am so thankful for this cream, it completely cleared my acne within one month! However, the side effects can be quite painful and frustrating, still after sixth months I experience extremely dry skin and occasional burning of the skin. These side effects haven't gone away for me as I continue using it. Just bare in mind that at the expense of curing your acne, you will experience side effects long term."


"Before being put on movantik, I was only having a bowel movement some times 3 days, some time 5 or even hit 10 days once. Then I finally was put on movantik and now I'm going every 2 days and at least I'm not in pain when I go to the restroom."


"Works great for me, cause I've been on every anxiety, panic disorder, depression medicine on the market.  Prestiq and wellbutrin which I am on now. Xanax saved my life so far for  panic attacks The $1.20 is for 90 2mg which for me is a 30 day supply, yes my anxiety is that bad. I tried to explain my story but something was acting up and stopped me when I got to the important part. I'll try explaining later"


"I had orthoscopic surgery on both knees for meniscal turns from over use during my time in the military. After choosing the injections verses cortisones or steroid shots I've had excellent results. I'm 45 and still run 4 miles every other day without any pain. The injections were not painful and took only minutes in the doctors office. I finished two series and now ready for my third. I give it and excellent rating."


"We use Dramamine prior to fishing trips.  However an old sea captain told me to take one pill the night before and then another the morning of the trip.  This way it really gets in your system.  It works!"


"This birth control has been very effective and not having to take it daily/weekly/monthly has been good.

I've had it for nearly 2 years and may have had two months combined without bleeding during that time. I've had heavy spotting since beginning it, more like a moderate period than spotting, ie Warrants the constant use of tampons and liners. It's been effective at preventing pregnancy as I've not been able to have sex for the majority of the time as the flow is too heavy.

The implant has been highly visible in my arm since implantation, so everyone can see I have it if I wear short sleeves. I am fairly thin, and I would have taken this into consideration more had I known.

Looking for alternatives."


"It helps me a lot and I don't know what I'd do without it. It has changed my life. Thank you to whoever made this drug."


"Hey guys ! So I have taken plan b couple times in the past and never got any symptoms from it. On July 8th after a night out drinking with my boyfriend we had unprotected sex where he came inside me. I checked my period tracker 2 days later and I ovulated that night So I went out and got plan b. I read a lot of reviews of people that took it like me and ended up pregnant and I'm super nervous "


"At the time I discovered an article by Dr. Oz about ways to relieve the symptoms of Sjogrens, my eyes were extremely red, swollen, itchy and dry. Nothing was helping - I was using a humidifier, and had tried numerous creams and lotions. Dr. Oz suggested a list of vitamins and oils of which Evening Primrose Oil was a significant part. I started taking 6 capsules daily and within 3 days could see some improvement. It has been 4 months now, and my eyes are completely back to normal. I don't even have to use my gel drops anymore."


"I have been on Jolessa for 2 years now and I love it. Periods only 4 times a year, no bleeding in between and no side effects."


"I like this birth control. I hardly ever get cramps on it and I don't really get any side effects on it. Also my boobs got bigger, which my boyfriend likes. I've always had clear skin and that's stayed the same on this pill."


"I started taking Celexa a week ago for social anxiety disorder, and I already feel major relief.  For the first time, I was social at work and made new friends.  I feel happier and can focus on caring about other things and people rather than just myself.  I had social anxiety, but I can honestly say that this medicine has worked miracles on me so far, and I'm only on 10mg. This medicine has quite literally saved my life.  If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, in my opinion, it's not worth it to keep fighting it without medication.  I suffered from social anxiety disorder for 2 years before finally deciding to take it.  Now, I wish I had taken it much sooner!"


"Hypercare has seriously changed my life. I am a whole new person now. I have suffered from severe sweating for about 8 years. I'm only 20 and what a waste of time by not doing anything about it until now. I received the prescription from my dermatologist and when I got the bottle and applied it at night, the next day I did not sweat at all. Talk about a miracle. It's true you can't really tell if the liquid is coming out of the bottle but with the right lighting and angle of the armpit you can tell if liquid is wetting your skin. I don't even have to use it every night anymore. I totally love it."


"Addendum to June 13th post:
My A1c is 7.2, down from 9.2 in May.  That's 2 points in 2 months.  Yaay!!!! My Endo was very pleased.  He started me on Trulicity..75 in May because I was having GI issues with Janumet.  I've had no nausea or diarrhea with Trulicity.  Only mild headache, decreased appetite, some abdominal soreness/achiness, and low blood sugars during the day.  Now,  I take 5-10 units of Novolog prior to meals and at times none at all depending on my blood sugar reading.  My Levemir has decreased as well-  I take 42 units at night vs the previous dosage of 50 units twice daily.  My weight is down 6 lbs.  I recently filled a prescription for a 90-day supply of Trulicity and did not have a co-pay.  Overall,  I am pleased."


"I went to my primary doctor for a check up. I told him that I just was not feeling right. He referred me to the mental health clinic. The doctor there asked me a lot of questions about how I felt, was I suicidal. Discussed my military life. And any combat experience. That was to check on PTSD. She started me on Paxil. I had the usual side effects of dry mouth, couldn't sleep, excessive urination, constipation, and diarrhea. But I got over the side effects when my body got used to the medication.
One of the main problems with this medication is that I cannot get an erection and cannot orgasm. "

"I find it sad reading some of these reviews as many of the side-effects people are listing can be helped or eliminated by using Lyrica in combination with other medications. Have your Doctor consult with a psychiatrist - because they know effective drugs to layer with this anticonvulsant - and you can continue to reap the benefits of Lyrica. I know it sure worked for me & life is so worth living now."


"This stuff works like a dream and quickly! I take over 20 meds a month, and sometimes I just get flat out nauseated from my "cocktail from hell". I have also had it administered in an IV, and it cant be beat. The only downfall is the cost...the last I heard it is $20 per pill, and Medicaid balks at paying for it."


"I have been on Invokana 300 for two years. I have lost weight, my numbers have decreased. It was covered by my insurance - But now the state is no longer covereing Invokana on my insurance because I work for a government funded (Public School). I would like to continue on Invokana.But according to the pharmacy it will now cost me $1342.00 for a 90 day supply."


"I've been taking Lo Loestrin Fe since March of 2015. It's now November of 2015 and I feel pretty good about it overall.

I take it at the same exact time every day without fail.

After the first two months, my period completely stopped. During the first 3 months I had almost no sex drive. It wasn't until my body got used to the medication that my moods started to stabilize and my sex drive went back to normal. I get more emotional and irrational around the end of each pack, but that's the only lasting effect this birth control seems to have on me.

I would recommend Lo Loestrin Fe."


"ive had the implant in for a couple of months about 4 i think. i got it since i cold no longer take the pill which was making me ill so i wanted this. in the first month of having it i didnt get a period i suppose this was my body was of slowly adjusting. ( the adjustment for anyone is different) when i did get my period  in October i was on it for an entire week and then had a break of about 2 weeks before being back on it again. now going into my 5th month of having it im getting periods each month or so. im personally hoping my periods will stop   but again its different for each."
