"Buspar changed my life, no kidding. I have been on Prozac so long, but once Buspar was added my personality came to life. Not that I don't sometimes worry, but it is sooo much better to manage with the Buspar. I am not any kind of spokesperson. I have a friend who it didn't work for, but for me, it has changed my life."


"My PCP doc had increased the amount of Oxycontin I take from 2 to 3 a day when they changed the formula in order to get the same amount of relief. The down side was he said I was maxed out on my pain meds now and took away my meds for break through pain. He suggested seeing a pain management doctor after a car accident that was making break through pain unbearable. The pain doc started me on a P-STIM and wanted me to try the Subsys. With such severe pain I agreed to it. I will never look back at my decision to try it as it has been a life saver for me and will take my pain from a 10 to a 2 very quickly. The only set back I can see is you have to wait a 1/2 hour before you can do another spray."


"Zyrtec made me so sleepy I could barely perform my job. Also felt sluggish and dangerous while driving. All I could think of all day was 'I need to go to sleep'..."


"I was taking metoprolol prior to this which made me dizzy and didn't even keep my blood pressure down. Bystolic gave me zero side effects and helped lower my blood pressure continuously throughout the day not just for a few hours it's done wonders."


"I actually had this right in front of me while I was smoking a cigarette and my hiccups went away. "


"made me crazy and stoned and I end up taking them in a few nights and I have no idea, call people randomly do things and have no memory of it.  The next day I am very I'll unsurprisingly. Better off with insomnia."


"I have just started on this medication.  So far I've been on the full dose for it for 4 days and I've lost about 7 lbs already.  I'm a 36 yr old  female, and I weighed in at 185lbs.  The heaviest I have ever been.  Dieting and exercise weren't working.  And considering that my labs weren't to good, I needed to do something.  I talked it over with my doctor and this is what we decided was best.   On the third day of the full dose, OMG!!  I had the worst nausea ever!! Ginger Ale seemed to work, but I couldn't eat all day.  I came home and spoke with my BF, whose also in the medical field.  He suggested I eat something with starch. So I tried a couple of crackers/saltines before I injected this morning.  What a difference!!!  No Nausea!!!"


"I rate it as a 10 because it saved me from certain death. But methadone is a double edged sword...and a very sharp one to try to balance on. I'd missed the end of my teens and all my 20's and 3/4's of my 30's using and jailing it was find an answer or die. I found methadone and never looked back. I stopped using heroin and I never...and I do mean never used again. I have been on a clinic since 1994. I've always had to foot my own bill, never has the state I live in helped me nor has a single insurance company. (even after parity and obamacare) Got to tell you paying for a clinic and full health coverage just about ruined me, now, rather than assist me with my medicine they'd rather provide me with free medical coverage rather than help.."


"I asked my doctor if he could give me something as I had been under stress and anxiety for some time.  I take 0.5 mg of Xanax twice a day.  I take it about 1/2 hour before I go to bed so I can relax and sleep.

Not sure if the Xanax is causing some weight gain or not."


"I've been on the Depo shot for over three years now I was so happy to get rid of my period. I've had none of the side effects that people have mentioned such as depression, migraines or loss of libido actually I think it increased mine haha but the only thing that I've noticed was the weight gain and it was only maybe 5lbs a year so it wasn't that noticeable. The only thing that I've noticed is that as you are ending the year and getting your first shot for the new year you tend to bleed irregularly for a week to two weeks but I've had nothing but positive things from this shot."


"Have just finished 12 weeks of this for Stage 2 breast cancer.  After my first chemo I was told to go and buy some gastro stop for the drive home but I have been very lucky.  The only side effects I have had is some aching in my thumbs but I can live with that.  I am now about to start Femara for five years and reading some of the reviews and side effects a bit worried."


"I was taken off Soma and put on Baclofen to help with extremely painful muscle spasms that I've been told are related to my fibromyalgia. I was extremely surprised and grateful to find out that this medication while not preventing the spasms, does stop them dead in their tracks when taken as soon as they start. I've had no noticeable side effects. A real God send for me."


"Works great!  Wish price was cheaper getting difficult to afford. $270 for 5 pills."

"Regimex did curve my appetite but it also made me very moody and irritated. I stopped taking it after just one week. I think I'm very sensitive to these types of medicines because Adipex did the same thing and I had to stop it as well."


"I want to let everyone know about how I reacted to chantex.....DAY 7 AND 8 I am soooo tired i cant move nor have the desire to move. I am mad angry and confused  dont know why! I was getting sleeping and I told myself I needed to go to bed So I setup and I was already in bed! ( I thought I was at the computer desk studying!  it is 4 pm now and I have been asleep about 10 times since I woke up at 5am. All I want to do is sleep I am so tired I even dream ( in color) about being tired.  Thankfully this hit me on the weekend, tomorrow I have to work! Hopefully I will be able to move!

I dont worry about having cigarettes anymore I really dont have the fierceness I used to about " I GOT TO HAVE A SMOKE!!!!!!" I am just numb about it now"


"I've had ulcerative colitis since 1967, with severe abdominal cramping and spasms, with and without diarrhea.  After numerous attempts with other medications, I found lomotil to be most effective at controlling symptoms, without the side effects of other medications such as flushing.  I can take 2 lomotil tabs at the onset of abdominal symptoms and abort attacks of diarrhea. It also works for cramping caused by spasms of the intestinal wall preventing feces from being expelled.  Doctors are amazed that I've lived with this disease for so long without surgery, steroids or sulfa drugs.  My key is managing my stress level which is very helpful overall, and lomotil, which aborts diarrhea and alleviates cramping. A miracle drug for me."


"An absolute saviour for me. Rosacea pustules had been increasing in quantity and intensity - terrible. Discovered Finacea Gel - it's an over the counter pharmacy medication in Australia and at only AUS$ 26 worth a try. Not much impact for the first four weeks, in fact possible worse. I persisted. Now 8 weeks in and the results are amazing. Rosacea has really settled down, few pustules, red marks faded, and skin generally much better texture. Very highly recommended - but do be patient and persist!"


"I've been experiencing breakouts for months. Have gone through everything everyone else has, so no need to rehash. I'll get to the point for those who are suffering. On January 23, 2017 I received my first injection of Xolair. In less than 24 hours I was already experiencing some mild relief. It's been a full week, not one breakout of hives. It feels like I have my life back."

"This stuff tastes so bad. As others have said, why should it? Barf me out the door! But it works. As others have said, just do it. Don't make ANY plans. Take a sick day or two if you can. Second dose temporarily gave me a bloated sore tum. Baby wipes are mandatory. As are separate bathrooms, nothing new there. There is like a quinine aftertaste that I am trying to attach a positive memory to, gin and tonic on a summer sunset sail. Anyway procedure is in less than 4 hours.  Good luck everyone!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost months. The first month was terrible, I had my regular period but I spotted all month long but then I got my next period and so far I haven't spotted since my period. Other then that the only side effects I've had are tender breasts and a red square rash where I put my patch but it does fade to a light red. Overall I love the convenience of only having to apply it once a week and also it sticks well, the only thing is it gets dirty around the edge kinda like a bandaid but after you take it off using a bit of baby oil on a cotton pad will get the dirt off."


"I am very happy with Jolessa. I switched from Seasonique due to the cost difference. I had a little spotting when I switched brands and that is all I have had. The only side effect I notice is a slight increase in breakouts, but nothing to bad. I would recommend to anyone looking to have fewer periods a year!"


"I sometimes get picked to read Bible lessons in the Church on Sundays & I would go forward and mess up terribly - shaking, voice breaking, hands sweating, etc. This got real bad that I had to discuss it with my doctor. I actually asked him for Xanax but instead, he prescribed Propanolol. This medicine worked miracles. I even started to think I did not need it anymore until one day I didn't take it and I was called to read the Bible lesson. I had the worst experience of my life that day and promised myself I would never go to Church anymore without taking Propranolol. Since after that day, everything has been okay - of course, with Propranolol. I did not know any medicine could be that effective! I take 10-15mg as needed 1-2 hrs before Church."


"Developed deep depression. Resisted drugs for a while. GP recommended zoloft. First four weeks were hell then it has been excellent.The best I have felt for years. In Australia so drug very cheap. $13 dollars for month"


"Two hours after taking this medicine, I was back in my doctor's office with probably the worst migraine headache I've ever had. "


"I came off Tri-Lo and I started using Yaz to fix my acne (moderate to severe). I also went on Yasmin to fix my acne (it was much much better). I have been on this pill for nearly 3 months and am so anxious to change it. There has been no positive change regarding my acne issues. My depression has gotten worse as a side effect. Usually my PMS starts a day or two before my period, but on Yaz it starts around a full week prior and it's a lot more intense. When I was on Tri-Lo I only got cramps a bit, and they weren't very painful. On Yaz, I've gotten cramps for each period and each time has been increasingly painful. I get yeast infections before every period. I have never gotten a yeast infection before using Yaz!!!"


"This has been my savior, no longer flying off the handle at people, and my children not being afraid of me.  I take this for several things migriane, anxiety, depression.  I use this along with Zoloft, and amitriptyline for sleep."


"I am miserable without Drixoral. Like the other reviewers here, I have found it to be the only formulation that gives me relief from my sinus symptoms. I've been a loyal user for years. And I'm annoyed that the antihistamine that makes this drug unique isn't available in any other formulation. I'm frustrated and CONGESTED!"


"I used it before with moderate success but when I couldn't afford more I eventually started smoking again.

This time I am smoke free 8 weeks and 3 days as of today.  With no cheats, important to me.

Side effects, must eat a good meal in the morning or will get horribly ill with nausea and strange cramps.  Other than that none.  Had the dreams last time.

I want to taper off but afraid the cravings will return so I will continue until I feel stronger.

Hope they never ban this product in the US."


"I have been using Fiorinal C1/2 for the past 25-30 years controlled by my doctor.  It's an amazing, amazing medicine.  I take it and my migraine goes away most of the time on the first dose. I have tried many other migraine meds and it seems I cannot take any of the Triptans as they make me throw up immediately upon taking them. I wish I could take something else but Fiorinal is all there is.  Please DO NOT stop making it! There are plenty of us out here who rely on it to carry on our daily lives. Please start making it again.  Thank you."


"It helps me, but I wish it could help a little more."


"I started taking the generic form of  this medication a month ago. Reading reviews as something that I always do, so I wanted to share my experience. My concerns of starting a birth control pill were no weight gain, no changes in my libido and hoping to clear up my acne. This birth-control pill I believe increased my libido which was amazing. My acne is better, but not completely gone. The reason why am stopping this birth-control is because I cannot control my eating. It's like I have the munchies all day long, we're talking worse than when I was actually pregnant. I work out every day I'm in good shape but over eating will ruin any work out.  Another side effect I'm having is I'm incredibly tired. I yawn all day long."


"This drug is for my anxiety and depression. I feel my anxiety is more stable, but my depression can still be a problem at times. I have no issues with side-effects except for sudden sleepiness."


"Various side effects including fractures in both feet and bad pain and aching in right leg making it almost impossible to walk and keeping me awake and in pain. It is time for my third Prolia shot and I have suffered from this for two months and am no better. This has not been a positive experience but a bad and painful one leaving me unable to get out and preform any daily task or functions."


"I had very bad PMDD and Loryna cleared all my symptoms including; awful headaches, acne, severe mood swings, literally the whole package. I've been on it for three years and it has been great. I am also sexually active and have had no scares. I start my pill pack on a Tuesday and I never have my period on a weekend. It's amazing!"


"I had a tummy tuck on Dec 18. The surgery was painful but the constipation from opioids from the surgery was just as bad. My plastic surgeon wasn't familiar with treating OIC so I called my primary care physician. She gave me Amitiza 24mcg. It took almost two days but it was amazing and I was so thankful. I had to remain on opioids for three weeks and the Amitiza worked so well I haven't had any issues!! Thank you Amitiza!!!"


"It works well. The first day I notice itching and swelling around my vagina I went and got Monistat. The itching was getting worse, then day 1 I still had a lil itching day 2 no itching but still swelling day 3 no itching no swelling but the infection was coming out. Good to use"


"I was prescribed this to suppress my cough for bronchitis. Aside from the fact that he didn't suppress my cough, it made me break out in hives for the first time in my life. This is the worst medication I will never drink it again."

"I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about 4 years before my change to Tri Sprintec.  With Ortho my periods and acne had lessened and I was extremely happy.  In November 2009 I had a period for a month straight and since the local Planned Parenthood shut down I had to go to my family doctor for a visit.  My dose was too low so I had to be switched to a generic version of Ortho Tri Cyclen.  The first three months on this pill were hell.  Bad acne, mood swings, nightmares, breast tenderness, and headaches.  It almost ruined my relationship with my boyfriend because I didn't even want him to touch me.  Since then I've adjusted to the pill and am getting along fine."


"I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and my gynaecologist initially recommended the Mirena to help manage it. The inserting process was impossible and so dismissed. Next up was the patch... Worst decision of my life. Nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue.. That lasted me 3 days. Next up was the Nuva Ring. I'm going into my third week and so far it's doing better than anything else I've tried. My side effects are awful headaches and cramps here and there. Other than that I feel perfectly fine. If the headache gets bad I simply use a pain killer and voila! I'll definitely recommend to anyone that can't use a high dose contraceptive like me. I think the low dose in the ring could make a huge difference. Can't knock it till you try it!"


"I drove from Las Vegas through Iowa. it is intense it works"


"I've been prescribed lorazepam for six plus years.  It started for what I found out was anxiety due to a very stressful work environment and caring for my aging mother...I couldn't manage life.  I sometimes I couldn't sleep either.  I started taking lorazepam as needed...approximately 20 to 30 minutes before an exceptionally stressful situation and it worked great.  I was able to slow down, omit the anxiety so I wasn't reactive and make my points in a clear and concise form.  I started taking them for sleep, to stop the committee from meeting in my mind 1 to 2 mg as needed. I never feel sedated in the morning they work great.  My physician thought it would be prudent to transfer me to Valium because I've been taking lorazepam to long....now"


"I had Liletta inserted today, the middle of November 2016. I did not do too much research because I'm a scaredy cat with doctors. I had a friend that got one a few years back so I thought, why not. I definitely was NOT ready for the insertion process. It wasn't unbearable, but it was definitely more than I was ready for. I am experiencing light cramping and bleeding. I'm taking 600mg Ibuprofen and it is doing just fine. So far so good. I am hopeful for the future."


"Starting taking Trazodone about eight years ago for insomnia.  Does a great job to calm a racing mind.  I've been free of sleepless nights for years thanks to this. Found my therapeutic level to be 25 mg taken with a small amount of food before bed."


"I have been taking Linzess for 7 days to treat chronic constipation.  It hasn't made me have the urge to go yet.  I finally went 6 days after starting it only because I took a suppository which certainly didn't empty me out.  Is this normal?"


"I cannot overstate how much I despise this medication. It may be effective in getting rid of bladder infections, but I never got that far. I used this medication twice (I gave it a second go, thinking my previous experience might've been an anomaly). Wrong. Within 2 days, each time, I had severe flu-like symptoms. They included: chills, mild fever, muscle aches all over, sharp pains in my stomach, severe nausea, vommitting, pounding headache, & extreme fatigue. I was told to take with a meal and drink lots of water. I felt like I was drinking 2 gallons a day...until I couldn't drink or eat anything without throwing it up. I stopped taking, the second time, after 3 pills, and it took 2 full days (& lots of Tylenol) for my symptoms to subside"


"After 3 days, I've felt really nauseous non stop. My stomach is non stop hurting. But, I haven't had any weird odor or discharge. Bad side effects."


"Zoloft has given me my life back. I had anxiety during my pregnancy that turned into OCD when I was 3 months postpartum. I was a mess, but I kept telling myself that as long as I was still functioning I didn't need medication. There was an adjustment period where we figured out my ideal dose (100 mg) and I had to get through a sharp increase in anxiety while my brain adjusted, but little by little, I started to notice changes in my thought patterns. It doesn't happen suddenly, you may not notice how much better you're doing until you stop and look back on situations that used to give you terrible anxiety and realize that you weren't nervous much at all. I continue to notice improvements after almost 4 months on my ideal dose (100 mg)."


"Very helpfull, tired of all the neg. press"


"I have been on Androgel for approximately 5 months. I was tested for low Testosterone after going around 10 years with low to no libido. I tested at 156 even though I get regular exercise. I am around 20 to 30 lbs over weight. My doctor initially put me on 2 packets of the stronger dosage and I noticed I was feeling stronger but still no libido.
After 2 months got Testosterone tested again and it was a little over 200. Doctor put me on 3 pumps of the stronger gel and I have mixed results....erections almost to the point of annoyance (very rare before taking gel) when I am sleeping, but libido still not really there. I haven't seen any weight loss but I may have gained some muscle. My doc is going to test me again after 3 months on 3 pumps and will see what my level is."


"I took abilify once, at night, in a psych ward because of my new doctor. I went to bed, like normal. When I woke up in the morning to take vitals I started to get this tightness in my chest that I couldn't place. I was going to ask for my inhaler because I have asthma, but then I heard roaring in my ears and my vision went fuzzy. I didn't know it then but my blood pressure was dropping from a healthy level down to 53/28. I panicked and stood up, and then dropped to the floor like a rock. I was lucky the nurse caught me. My heart stopped. I don't truly remember a lot about that day but that was because I was either unconscious or in a dreamy haze. Ability sent me into anaphylactic shock and almost killed me. No ratings lower than one, sadly."


"I have been on Zoloft for a bit now and am on a 50mg dose. I find it has made a world of difference. I was taking it after dinner and had real bad insomnia and buzzing etc. So I told my doctor and we changed the schedule so I started taking it in the morning and I sleep great at night.
Zoloft has helped with my depression and anxiety. I haven't felt this great since I can't even remember when.
If your having bad side effects like the insomnia talk to your doctor and change the times you take your meds."


"Myofacial pain syndrome as well as a rapidly degenerating spine from osteoarthritis and chronic pyelonephritis are controlled reasonably well by Vicoprofen even after triple bypass surgery."


"I was on tri sprinted for awhile and I thought it was such a great bc that didn't cause me to have anxiety or mood swings ... until I received the scary news that I had a blood clot in both of my lungs, the clot caused permanent damage to my lung and should have killed me. I'll take my cramps over this pain any day."


"I decided to take birth control just in case I decided to become active in the future. I wanted to start taking the pill before the school year to see how it would impact me and to get adjusted. At first, my acne flared up more than usual. Once I got my period, I experienced horrid and uncomfortable cramps one of the first days, that I had to call out of work for being sick (I was crawling, crying and threw up once). The period lasted about 2 weeks. I've had slightly bipolar moods before but once taking this pill, the moods were extremely hot and cold. For two hours I would be angry and then I would experience happiness for a bit, just to go into another anger/sadness. Depression was worse with bad thoughts. I'm stopping the pill now."


"Fourteen years on Ultram, initially prescribed for migraine relief.  As a painkiller, it has never worked for me.  However, there is a little rider attached to the medicine information when I pick it up from the pharmacy about how it may be used for purposes other than pain relief.  For me, it keeps my joints fluid (I now have arthritis as well as fibromyalgia), and most definitely acts as a mood elevator.  No high or buzz, but a feeling of stability.  Because I metabolize ALL medicines at a high rate, it takes more 50mg tablets than the FDA recommends to get relief.  Wears off fast,  but one dose in the morning seems to keep me stable.  Also I cannot sleep without it.  So many, many different reactions to the same medicine."


"I have issues with heavy bleeding as result Mirena IUD was inserted 18 months ago.  My bleeding issue has completed been gone.  I get a very light period every month and am very happy with that.  Since my bleeding was so heavy, my other option would be hysterectomy.  My frustration is the weight gain, I've gained 15pounds since this was placed.  I'm only 5-2 and workout every single day and watch my carbs and take a very low calorie diet.  In spite of this, I still continue to gain weight.  I have constant bloating and terrible water retention.  All my weight is in my stomach and thighs.  I have an appointment this week to get it removed, however I'm scared of having the heavy bleeding again."


"Works about 2 hours after taking it, if doing relaxing activity such as reading.  Helps more through the night. Have been taking it for about three weeks."


"I LOVE this birth control. Not only is it an effective contraceptive, it helped my acne, I wasn't moody, and my sex drive was great. My periods were the normal four to five days so, if you're looking for something to shorten your periods, I'm not sure if this is the best for you. I'm currently on Sprintec because my pharmacist recommended it as the generic, but I don't like it. I can't wait to be back on Tri-Previfem!"


"I started having frequent panic attacks and anxiety spikes and my doctor suggested Lexapro. I had really bad nausea and lack of appetite the first week and had to force myself to eat to ease the hunger pains. After that subsided, I had a lot of muscle tension and soreness. It felt like my whole body was vibrating as if being electrically shocked. I was fidgeting all day, sitting in unusual postures, mistyping far more than usual, and knocking things over on my desk. After four weeks the panic attacks had stopped and my anxiety had improved slightly, but the muscular side-effects had me even more worried. I called my doctor and he switched me back to Sertraline. Tapering off Lexapro made the vibration and tension go away almost immediately."


"I have beeon the depo since sept 2015 and i have been bleeding since (6 months) it has gotten out of control. I have to have an ultrasound done this week to make sure everything is ok. I will not be getting my mext injection."


"I've been on ortho tricylen lo for over 8 years now and I never want to switch. Obviously in the beginning the first month or so was a little annoying.. getting my period still pretty heavy and if I skipped a pill more than once in a month I would spot, but I think that is normal. I've always gotten my period for 4-6 days on this pill too which most people would hate, considering loestrin takers don't even get a period anymore, but I think this is NATURAL. Our bodies are engineered to have periods so I think not having one at all is not good. As long as you take your pill everyday I would highly recommend.  I have never experienced any bad side effects and if I ever did gain weight it was from college not my birth control."


"This drug has worked wonders for me. Its too bad we can't afford it"


"I ran a 102 fever for two days with body aches, chills that turned into profuse sweating. I was very lethargic and didn't even feel like going to urgent care. My husband took me anyways, diagnosed with the flu, and given tamiflu. I've had three doses with absolutely no side effects and my fever has remained at 100.5 all day. I'm still very weak and tired but no pill is gonna make 100 in one day. I'm thankful for it."


"My experience with the use of Bextra was great! I did not take it on a daily basis . I used it as needed for severe bloating , heavy menstrual cycles and severe pain in my stomach and back. I took one pill during that time of month. Looked as if I lost 20lbs, felt great and was pain free. The medication was given to me as a sample trial from my OBGYN Dr. Not long following my sample pills Bextra was pulled and no longer available for use. This may have been a different result for me, had I taken the medicine daily . Considering that I did not . There was not any side effects to the medication ."


"Very Good for asthma and allergies but my mood changed for the worse. I woke up angry for no reason and very irritable. Made my anxiety worse too. I stopped it."


"**UPDATE** I have now been on Saxenda since 2-19-17, April 1st ( 41 days on Saxenda) I weigh 190, I started at 208, so this is a total of EIGHTEEN POUNDS loss in 41 DAYS. I am not at 2.4 dose.I do walk a lot at work and do a lot of yard work, but other than that, I have NOT worked out or exercised. I do feel full at about 700 to 900 calories. Some days I can not eat more than 500 or so calories. I also have kept it below 100 carbs per day. I feel healthy , a little tired but not so much it interferes with my day. Occasional nausea, but not often at all. I do have severe constipation and sour stomach. I do not tolerate meats well , especially red meats ( but this is also not new for me). My skin is dry & irritation around injection site."


"I had my first shot yesterday at 15:00  and had body pain and shivers at 19:00, but no side effects at all this morning. I've been diagnosed in 2007 and dreaded interferon side effects and now, to my great surprise none whatsoever! In South Africa Avonex give great support, they have Avonex MS nurses who assist with the first 3 shots so no worries on the injection either. Overall I am elated this morning!"


"My little sister was diagnosed about 2 years ago with Narcolepsy, just recently, so was I. My doctor gave me a sample of Nuvigil for 4 weeks, and a prescription for Aderol. I took Nuvigil and I felt great! However, I took the medicine at about 5:30 am and could not turn my brain off or get to sleep until after 1:30 am. I then took half of the pill to maybe reduce the time it keeps me awake, but nothing happened at all. In reading some of the comments here, it sounds like maybe this medicine will wear off quicker in the future."


"I had spent much of my time outdoors in the windy and dry plains of Co. My eyes stayed dry and painful. Eyedrops gave relief but symptoms would return so my doctor prescribed Restasis. It had the same results. I realized that even though I was no longer in a harsh environment my eyes had become conditioned and addicted to Eyedrops and Restasis! I learned that it is a very common addiction, including the body's craving and withdrawals from the substance. Restasis is nothing but an unnecessary addictive drug and the drug co. knows it. It should only be used while you have inflammation just like any other anti-inflammatory med. Overuse of anti-inflammatories is like overuse of anti-biotics. We know what happens when we do that. Effectiveness decreases"


"Prozac has changed my life. I've suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression since I was in my pre-teens. I've tried Celexa and Paxil, but couldn't sleep at all while using them. I asked my physician to prescribe Prozac on the advice of a friend and I've had amazing results.  I started at 10 mg a day and increased to 20 mg a day after a month. I noticed that I was drowsy and unmotivated during the day when I took the medicine in the morning, so I switched to a bedtime dose and I haven't noticed any side effects since then. Prozac makes me calmer and much more in control of my fears. Others who didn't know I had gone on medication have noticed a positive change as well.  I've been on Prozac for 4 months."


"Worked excellently and quickly on poison ivy."


"Bled (mildly) for 5 months straight-finally stopped and now I'm having my first period and just woke up to a soaked bed I've never bled this much.

DO NOT USE THIS BIRTH CONTROL"


"Within a couple days of taking Metronidazale the infection cleared up, in that aspect I feel 100% better! But the symptoms of the antibiotics are terrible.. my entire body aches, I feel exhausted, my toes and fingers are tingling, I have no appetite I have to force myself to eat something in order to take the medicine, bad diarrhea. I have a couple more days of this and I can't wait to be done!"


"I have been taking a combination of medicines flecainide (50mg twice a day) and metoprolol (12.5mg twice a day) to control idiopathic paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, for two months now. Trying both medicines separately did not work for me. During the first two weeks of starting flecainide, I experienced moderate to severe side effects including visual disturbances (mostly peripheral), shakiness, vertigo, weakness, nausea, fatigue, and bowel changes. Since my body had a difficult time with the medicine, both medications were reduced in half. It is much better now, but I am still hoping this is not a long-term treatment. I give this medicine a 10 rating for effectiveness. I have not had a single episode (including PVCs) since being on both medications."


"This pill is a dream! I was so worried to go on birth control, due to all the scary side effects I always here about! After two months, I have had none. I had really bad periods that would leave me very sick for days. I only get very light cramping right before my period starts. I haven't gained any weight. I actually lost weight around my waist, and I am already very petite to begin with. My cup size went up to a C from a B, and my light acne has become almost non-existent. I was lucky to find a pill that worked for me right off of the bat!"


"I get a gout attack about twice a year.  Nalfon helps me to get through it without interrupting work."


"I am very medication resistant and was really hoping this medicine would turn it around. Started at 5 mgs and had blinding headaches and stabbing pain in my stomach. Day five, I had a huge panic attack and confusion. Gave me the kind of out of it feeling that I had with Effexor. "


"I've been on Below for 2 weeks now and the only side effects I've noticed have been a slight back ache and dry mouth. But I have lost 10lbs so far so its been worth it!! It definitely curbs my appetite but I always eat 3-5 small healthy meals. I hope it keeps going this way for me!"


"Very easy to insert! Felt like it kind of popped into place.

Put it in on the first, heaviest day of my period and it completely stopped it.

Days 2-5 were crampy, nauseated, fevery, achy, irritable and generally not fun. Since then, it's been wonderful. No lingering side effects (except ridiculous discharge, it really is bad). It hasn't fallen out, even during sex or bowel movements. Boyfriend can't feel it during sex. Still not pregnant, but we use condoms as well so I can't speak to its efficacy on its own.

Skin is clearing up, mood is better, sex drive is as insatiable as ever. Appetite has increased.

Love the convenience compared to the pill and low commitment compared to an IUD. Would recommend."


"This product should not be sold! No woman should have to through this much pain to clear up a YI! Severely burns inside, torture! Sleeping with ice pack! Avoid this crap by all means!"


"I never write reviews but had to share my terrible experience so that others don't make the same mistake that I've made. I had been on Yasmin for years, my doctor suggested I switch to a generic since it's free (as opposed to $50) so I gave it a shot for a month. I have one more day on Zarah and here are the side effects I've experienced in that time: nausea, severe moodiness, dizziness, yeast infection, swollen tongue (?!), cystic acne, loss of appetite yet weight gain. I'm a healthy, active 31-year old woman without any other medical issues. Avoid this pill!!"


"I see a lot of comments here citing nausea, headaches and not loosing weight. I have not experienced nausea or headaches. I take two pills in the morning and two at dinner, which is usually pretty late for me. I went to my doctor because I was sabotaging diet efforts with binge eating episodes. I asked if increasing my normal dose of Effexor would help and she suggested I try adding Contrave. I do feel a bit more energy coursing through me and seem to sweat a little however, my binge eating is nixed! This was just what I needed to take back control. I have not added additional exercise or any extreme diet. I am working to have a normal relationship with food and get back down to a healthy weight. Portion Control!"


"There are some things I love about this medicine, like my ability to focus and get things done. But I really hate the side effect of having no appetite because I'm skinny to begin with. It also increases my heart rate which can make my feel anxious. It also gives me diarrhea which my doctor said does happen to some people. It's super effective, but I wish I could get rid of those side effects. may be better for people who do not need to focus 12 hours a day like I do because I require 3 doses a day."


"I have both restless legs syndrome and insomnia. I have taken Clonazepam for 10 years. Started at 0.5mg, 1mg then 2mg. Decided to stop all medication a year ago and I have not slept worth a darn as well, as my restless legs syndrome has been horrible. Finally broke down last night and took a Clonazepam. Had no RLS and I did sleep, waking up only a few times. I was a little groggy this morning but certainly can deal with that. In past years I have tried many other medications with horrible results. Clonazepam has been a very positive experience for me."


"I was skeptical, but after 2 nights of using this I'm almost 100% dry!"


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


"I wanted to switch birth control after taking Aubra. Aubra was a good birth control but taking it for almost 2 years had made me get too emotional and depressed a lot and that made my relationship with my boyfriend go downhill. It did me good though! I just didnt want to lose my boyfriend. So after taking a break from birth control for 3 months, I started gaining weight! I was the heaviest Ive ever been! So, I needed to get back on birth control. Chateal was a bit more than Aubra, I started taking it for about a month and my face started getting eczema. Didnt even lose a pound while exercising and eating healthy like I always do. I wasnt sure what to do anymore. So I quit taking it for good, and after a week off it, my skin cleared up!"


"I was diagnosed in 2009 after over a decade of chronic aches and pains that couldn't be described by any physicians. After countless bloodtests, MRIs, CAT scans, and the like, I finally found a Neuro that decided to try Gabapentin. I've been on it now, low dose, for about a week.

Placebo effect or otherwise, I DO feel better. My normal daily functions seem easier, the pain has almost entirely subsided to a 'dull' ache, my headaches have dwindled to almost nothing, and my energy has increased; which I can only attribute to actually sleeping through the night for more than four days.

I will be gradually increasing my dosage over the next four weeks to see if I get even better. I'm ecstatic that I found this physician and Gabapentin!"


"I received Keytruda for about 20 months for metastatic melanoma. After the first infusion we noticed that the visible spots on my back had gotten lighter in color and softer.

After over a year of scans that revealed that Keytruda was working for me, a lymph node in my chest began growing. A PET scan revealed that the spots on my back had been killed by the medication, and it had also destroyed a number of small nodules in one lung. But the lymph nodes in my chest were positive. My oncologist believes that my cancer has mutated, and Keytruda stopped working.

Side effects were mild. Some mild fatigue, and at the beginning a very fine itchy rash that was not annoying at all. I just wish it had worked for me a little longer."


"My fibromyalgia had gotten extremely bad due to a great number of stresses in my life this year, so the doctor recommended I try Savella.  I was on a drug called Pristiq and when my psych doctor found out about the Savella with it, he said I was beginning to experience Serotonin syndrome - not good.  I got off the Pristiq and cut way back on how much Savella I'm taking.  I'm going to increase it very slowly and hope the side effects will subside.  Reading that for some it took 2 months gave me some hope. I've been having hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches, no energy, but - Hardly NO PAIN! I will keep trying."


"Though low blood pressure was problematic from time to time, FloMax provided relief from that recurring sense of urgency.  "


"I've been on Contrave about a week now and I am eating less and the only side effect I'm dealing with is sleepiness.  I sleep fine at night but during the day I can barely keep my eyes open.  I'm sticking with it because I read the side effects typically go away, but, until then, I'll be sleeping at my desk."


"Don't take that pill, I gained a lot of weight, I got depressed and with anxiety, I always wanted to eat... I took it for only one month and now I have like 4 days without that pill and I feel like I'm gaining more and more weight (I'm eating so well, I go to the gym everyday...)"


"I always wake up in the morning with a runny nose, itchy eyes, etc., but then my doctor gave me Cetirizine. I take it every night so that I won't have to get up every two hours to blow my nose (due to dust and down feather allergies), and it lasts all throughout the day so I feel great-even in spring and summer with all the pollen! I feel great all the time, thanks to Cetirizine!"


"I started on HRT when I was 50! I will be 75 next month & I am still having flashes day & night. The HRT I was on was stopped 36 months ago & the flushes started again! I was given Premarin which worked great & after 2 years was told to wean myself off them which I did & the flushes came back...I went back to see my doctors & saw a nurse practioner who told me that I shouldn't be on HRT at my age, but was prescribe them again & I did exactly the same thing took them for a few month &  weaned myself off them...the flushes came back with a vengence! now after six months of hell day & night I have been put on Clondine (Dixarit)....2x25mcg twice a day...2 weeks in nothing has changed, but I will keep 'taking the tablets' (lol) good luck all"


"Experienced bleeding and spotting for a month and a half, but totally worth it because now I have no periods. Though I do have mild PMS (sore breasts, bloating). Nothing a little exercise, chocolate preztles & wine can't take care of...my favorite birth control so far!"


"I've been a half pack a day smoker for 20 yrs. I'm 36 now. I started Chantix a month ago and I smoked my last cigarette about a week in. I didn't even finish the whole cigarette, I didn't feel the desire to. My husband is a smoker, so I was afraid his smoking would tempt me but it didn't at all. The only side effect I experienced was nausea immediately after taking the pill and it lasted for about 30 min. I started taking the pill with food, and no more nausea. I've been sleeping like a baby too, an added bonus! Never had nightmares like others described. If it weren't for Chantix I'd still be smoking. This drug is a life saver!"


"I was extremely against Xanax because of knowing people who abused it, and being someone who will try homeopathic cures before using prescriptions. That said, it really helps me. I have anxiety I would describe as anywhere from mild- severe depending on the day, and week. But sometimes I get in these intensely anxious thought patterns, where I cannot let go, its terrible.Taking medication during these periods is a god-send. It allows me to return back to my normal non-anxious self. I rarely have noticed sleepiness as an effect of the medication- only when I was already sleepy before taking it. If you don't abuse your dose, it shouldn't cause you to feel out of it or have memory loss, if you truly suffer from anxiety. That's my experience"


"I have been taking Cefdinir for three days now. The second day taking it I felt like I was getting better but the third I felt sick again. I was diagnosed with sinusitis and an ear infection. I did not have drainage in the back of my throat until I started taking this antibiotic. I'm hoping to feel better soon and hopefully Cefdinir works."


"Pain was so bad in the back of my legs. Had to take pain medication to stop the pain. Doctor will put me on something else."


"I really like Levoxyl and am bereft that it's unavailable now.  It doesn't affect my weight at all.  In fact, I let myself gain about 12 lbs a couple of years ago, juiced for a few days to get my eating back to normal and then proceeded to lose all the weight and then a few more.  I have absolutely no side effects. I tried Synthroid once and didn't like it.  I have also been on the same dosage, 0.1mg, all this time."


"Hmm about this medication...I literally do not reccomend it at all! As someone with Bipolar2 I was put on Seroquel for my rapid unstable moods, I was on it for quite some time and I noticed the rapid weight gain not just that but I was literally sleeping all the time! When I was awake I felt like a zombie. Quite frankly it's a nightmare! Thank god I went off it."


"This medication is unbelievable. After 3 days, the anxiety I have been suffering with for over 15 years disappeared. I don't feel cloudy headed or unable to function. It's as if one day I woke up and my life is stress free. I did not suffer any side effects but I am also not on any other medication. I do not drink or smoke. I was opposed to medication at first, but now I am a believer."


"I've been on April for about three years now and it has been great. I've never had any problems with it...it regulated my period and also kept it really light. The only thing I've noticed is that it made me gain a few pounds. Other than that, it's worked well. The best part...I'm not pregnant. It has kept my acne under control as well. Overall it has a few side effects but I recommend it."


"Bone Spur with Osteoarthritis and severe pain in my left knee before I began the 3 injections. Received the last of the the 3 today. I am amazed at this treatment. I am noticing a difference and it is huge. I went from using a cane to walking on my own, pain free."


"This medication eases me to sleep with no after effects."


"Had high blood pressure episode of 200/120. A combination of acute stress, not enough exercise, pre-diabetic, dehydration, and not watching sodium intake. Moderately fit and no overweight. ER gave me metoprolol 100mg a day and developed an antagonistic/allergic reaction sending me back to the ER. Started on losartan 25mg for two days and BP didn't go down as expected. Stress test show normal everything except for borderline BP and rapid heart rate 112. Cardiologist put me in 120mg Cartia XT. Took a first dose last night, BP dropped 80/60 77 no symptoms, had water and feet up. Woke up with 100/70 82 laying down an 110/70 86 standing up. So far ringing of the ears, I hear my heart sounds and dry mouth. It's working so far. I will take it in the morning instead."


"I am a 19 year old college student and just got prescribed Vyvanse about 2 days ago. When I take it I mainly feel relaxed and sometimes excited. I've never been on any stimulant or ADD medication before. My main concern is losing weight on this medicine. I'm about 5'9" and weigh about 135lbs. I eat a lot and I'm still fairly skinny. I've always worried about my weight and the last thing I want is to get skinnier."


"I had unprotected sex on Tuesday the day before my period was due and my boyfriend pulled out but then we went for round 2. In the moment I didn't think about the leftover semen. But 68 hours later, I took the Plan B pill. I waited and stressed about whether or not I would get pregnant. But after about a week after taking the pill, I had brown spotting and then later that day I got my period! I'm so glad to say that it really worked for me."


"This works great. Just needed something to balance my depression with insomnia."


"Tiredness, lack of alertness, but pain is gone"


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 3 years ago.  I have tried many types of medications from narcotics to anti-seizure medications to control the pain.  I have been on Cymbalta for the last 4 months.  Cymbalta works wonderful and I am able to live a pain free life."


"This is the best sos pill for migraines, I barely have side-effects from it and if I melt it in my mouth it acts much faster killing my migraine in less than 20 minutes. I cannot imagine my life without Rizatriptan !! It gave me my life back!"


"I have been on Lantus for over 3 weeks and I feel I HAVE less control of my sugar levels.  I take 22 units at bedtime, and it isnt lowering my levels like it should.  Per doctor, I cannot take regular insulin with it as the Lantus is a 24 hr dose. So if my level spikes to sway 435, I can't take a shot of regular insulin to bring it down, I have to ride it out till bedtime when I can take another does of Lantus.  I would rather take regular insulin every 6 hrs than do the Lantus, as It gives me more control of the dose I need for my sugar levels."


"At first I was very pleased with Apri. I initially began taking birth control to control severe PMS and cramping and have switched pills 3 times, most recently to Apri. After taking it for 6 months, however, it stopped controlling my PMS and hormones and after three months of getting my heavy periods/cramps again I went into a new (different) doctor and found out I had high blood pressure. As an athletic, non-smoking, health nut 18 year old I was shocked at this information, and my new doctor explained to me how they were going to discontinue providing prescriptions for this pill as well as several others because of these issues. "


"Started two days ago, so far fo good.  Would like to hear from those who have been on Victoza for 3 months or more.  Thanks"


"I'm 49 and I've been taking Vyvanse for three years.  It does help somewhat, but it only last about five to six hours, probably less than that.  I'm taking 20mg, which I think is too low, but my provider refuses to raise the dosage."


"Absolutely amazing! I was in a terrible spot with my harm OCD..... And then this miracle of a drug came along! It's almost like its a physical volume knob that turns your thoughts down... To the point where they are still there, but so quiet they're insignificant. ONLY reason I gave it a 9/10 is because it took a while to work.... But that's different for everyone. If you're reading this and are wondering if it's going to even work... I have been on it for a solid 8 weeks, and I'm JUST now starting to feel the effects. I literally have trouble falling asleep now, only because I'm excited about tomorrow! :)"

"I'm a 36 year old male. I've been dealing with major anxiety and panic attacks for about 6 years. Been on benzos for as long as I can remember.
I do tend to drink a couple of times a week and while taking benzodiazepines I would black out all the time. It almost ruined my life. Until one day about 4 months ago my doctor introduced me to Viibryd. It has changed my life.
I've tried it all, Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zyprexa, and many others. Had many sexual side effects among others.
The first week with Viibryd I had nausea. It's a good idea to eat before taking Viibryd. I now have very little if any panic attacks. They are easy to deal with and control now. I even drink on Viibryd. Though I'm sure it's not recommended."


"I have been on this med for about a year and a half. I started taking 80mg and my anxiety got so much worse the first few weekz (very common) It didn't seem to be helping much so I upped my dose about 3 months later. Went up to 100mg and had to up it once more. I'm currently on 185mg a day and it seems to help when I take it every day! (try not to miss a dose!) The symptoms I experienced are dry mouth, sleeplessness, no appetite, and no sex drive! After a while these all vanished besides the low sex drive (sadly). If I miss a dose my anxiety comes back full force (its severe!) It is a pretty good medicine if taken correctly but may have to be increased over time. Dont give up!"


"This medication has helped my tremors immensely. Before, I was afraid to walk down a flight of stairs.  Another bonus has been the frequency and severity of my migraines. It does make me drowsy and if I skip a dose or two, my migraines and shakes will increase dramatically. With this medicine my quality of life has improved so much."


"I love that it completely stopped my outrageous heavy bleeding, which in turn made me anemic.  So I am happy for that.  However, the only side effect that I am experiencing is super dry skin on my arms, neck and face...I feel it is aging me overnight.  Some constipation, and not really hot flashes but warm spells every now and then.  Can't wait for surgery to get my hormones back to work."


"Tussionex(R) Pennkinetic is a very good medication for cold and cough conditions accompanied with aches etc. The active ingredients (hydrocodone 10mg/chlorpheniramine 8mg) last a long time for long-lasting relief. I would recommend Tussionex(R) Pennkinetic 12-Hour Suspension OVER ANY OTHER COUGH PREPARATION. COUGH RELIEVED. REST ASSURED. Not to mention the hydrocodone is good for aches and pains."


"I have been using Privine Nose Drops for more than 50 years and they are the only product that really helps my severe nasal congestion from colds, allergies or sinus infections.  Best of all, Privine gives me no bad side effects whatsoever, unlike all of the other nose drops and nasal sprays that I have tried.  Privine should be sold in all drugstores but now."


"I have had high blood pressure for over five years and this includes treatment with numerous medication and supplements.  Two months ago I was prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure, I had headaches and dizziness with being physically tired.  Today I do not have the headaches, but occasionally experience dizziness if I move fast, or get up from setting, or lying down.  Usually only last a few minutes at a time, but I must sincerely and happily let those who read these comments that this medication works.  My blood pressure even on other medications such as Atenolol did not work as good, my blood pressure was normally between 140 and 150 everyday.  Today it is hitting below 120/70 regularly and usually in the low 100/60 or lower."


"I have been taking Adderall for now 5 months. This medication has completely changed my life. It is one of the most effective smart drugs out there. Adderall Improves concentration and ability to focus on your work. I suffer from Narcolepsy. I take 30mg adderall after a weak. It works very well. I have personal experience with the Adderall is absolutely great for me!"


"I've had gout in my foot twice. Last night my KNEE began to hurt. Intense pain when trying to walk. My doctor prescribed Indomethacin 50 mg three times a day. I could walk easily after the first dose of medicine. Good stuff."


"I have struggled for 4 years with anxiety and depression. The docs doped me up on benzos since no Antidepressanh would work. I finally had a break down and been off work 3 1/2 months. Gabapentin has changed me around in a day. I'm slowly increasing my dose to 1800mg. Remeron has helped work well on the depression and sleep and lack of appetite. Plus my GI issue..  The combo works for me."


"I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and have also suffered the loss of my family. I had 5 major surgeries in one year and have attempted suicide several times. I've been on a variety of meds and have watched my weight balloon from 140 to 240lbs because of these medicines. Am I better because of Wellbutrin maybe at first and it is easier to move my life along. Side effects, itching that drives me nuts, no sex drive, I've only been able to drop 40lbs, can't sleep, agitated really easy over stupid stuff, cry at the smallest thing. Yes, I still have days I don't want to get out of bed but after a while I finally do. No suicide thoughts right now which is good."


"This might be to much info but I'm gunna share.
I hate this thing. I'm exhausted all the time, mood swings, and I'm depressed.
The bleeding is ridiculous. My doctor told me I might have spotting in between periods and this is a lot more than spotting. My period usually lasts five days and I had for about 10 and then stopped for a week and now I've had it non stop for another 11. THIS SURE DOES PREVENT PREGNANCY... MOSTLY CAUSE I'M NOT HAVING SEX! I don't feel comfortable having sex when I'm bleeding heavily and my boyfriend doesn't do well with blood. He's very understanding but Its frustrating because I had high hopes for this to work and I'm disappointed"


"I have been on Tri-Sprintec for a little over a month now, I have notice changes already. I have shorter periods, if I drink plenty of water I have few to no cramps, my acne has cleared up for the most part, and I have lost a noticeable amount of body fat. The only side effect I have noticed it breast tenderness and it was only the 2 days before I started my period."


"My first post was 5/15/2015. Here's more. I'm doing OK, but want to share the trouble I had when increased to 20mg. I had really good days on 10 and 15 with manageable side effects. 20 threw me for a loop after a couple days - felt worse in every way - heightened anxiety and dark depression. But - it started to get better - a bad day - a good day - two bad days - two good days. This medication takes patience and a pdoc that will explain (mine didn't) all you can be in for. I feel I'm going to "win", but almost feel I deserve a prize for tolerating so many side effects. I had to resort to Xanax on the really bad days. Funny those who really need Xanax hate it? Still going to stick with Lexapro - I see the light at the end of the tunnel."


"I had the Mirena for almost a year and it was effective with pregnancy but I had horrible mood swings, I was bloated and although I didn't have a period each month I constantly spotted especially during sex which was a huge turn off for my partner and I. It did not do well with my body and it was uncomfortable for him during sex. "


"Withdrawal is nasty in spite of doctors saying there are no withdrawal effects. It is sedative and can be impairing so drivers be careful"


"I have taken Zyprexa 2.5 with Zoloft for years and couldn't function without this combination. It was prescribed because the Zoloft just didn't take care of the insomnia and mood swings.  Zyprexa 2.5 has been a God-send."


"Bactrim DS 14 day supply. Took one pill only and stopped. In eight hours after taking one pill my fingers started to itch. Then both of my hands were itching bad all over and red. Then my feet starting itching real bad and red like my hands. 24 hours later my hands and feet itching has subsided. Had to take Benedryl 4 times. Hand and feet still itching but quite a bit better. On my way to get another dose of Benedryl. Hopefully this will go away soon. Keep in mind, I only took one pill! So thankful that I didn't take another pill. Severe allergic reaction. Hopefully the itching will go away completely soon. This was a very dangerous medication for me. I believe that it was the sulfa in the med that caused this."


"I am 19 years old and I have been so embarrassed by my excessive underarm sweat for as long as I can remember. The worst was when I realized that I would sweat more from my underarms than the guys I hung out with. I tried every 'prescription strength' and 'clinical strength' over the counter product that I could find (I even tried mens clinical strength antiperspirant/deodorant), and nothing gave me relief. Finally I talked to my doctor and she mentioned Drysol. I have very sensitive skin, and when I had to use it for the first 2-3 days in a row, I have excessive itching and burning, and a rash, but I toughed it out, and now I no longer have the burning or rash. I have been using the product for 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier!"


"Was taking wellbutrin XL 150mg once a day. I started taking this drug for what was thought to be mild anxiety (which was from caffeine withdrawal) and to quit smoking. The first few weeks were ok (prob because my body was getting use to the lack of caffeine). After a while I began to feel really anxious due to physical symptoms I felt, ringing in my ears, trouble sleeping, lack of memory and attention, reflux, constipation, hemorrhoids, heart flutters, constant trembling, extreme anger and the inability to calm down, fear of being alone, and constant fear of dying. I have been off of the medicine for 7 days and feel great. Pay attention to any symptoms you feel and tell your doc."


"I'm 27 yrs old, 5'6", & 125lbs. I'm a mother of a 5yr old & a 3yr old. My first time on any kind of birth control was after the birth of my 3yr old & was the implant Implanon. I had a horrible experience overall with the side effects, (extremely hormonal, excessive bleeding, horrible removal, & much more). After lots of research to avoid another disaster experience, I chose Lutera. Within a week & little by little, I started noticing a difference in everything. Pros: For the first time since I was a teenager, my periods were on time & even better, only lasted 3-4 days. My skin is clearer, my breasts are fuller, & no more mood swings. I feel like a normal woman. Cons: My breasts are a little sore, possibly bc I'm a DD with now fuller breasts"


"I took Wellbutrin XL for 1 week and experienced the worst side effects I have ever had. I ended up in the hospital, I was so shaky and just out of it I felt terrible."


"I have had good success with weight loss with 50mg Topiramate & a therapist for stress eating. I went from 265lb to 195lb with watching diet in 12 months, walking 2-3 miles/day. Topiramate makes you less hungry, the rest is up to you. (I did get some brain fog.)

I took magnesium and biotin, as the reduced appetite can cause nutritional deficiencies in some that can give you hair loss if you aren't careful and the magnesium helps you "go"!  If you're taking that Topiramate at night, a small dose of melatonin every few days (if you take melatonin consistently every night your own pineal gland will stop producing it and you'll have more sleep probs!)"


"I have been in Velivet for about 2 years now because of painful, heavy and irregular periods.  I've tried others that were too strong. This one has worked until the last month.  I've noticed that my cramping has came back and it has taken my sex drive away completely!  Which is NOT good"


"Opium Tincture is the only medication that works for controlling Diarrhea and the pain and fatigue that comes with 20 or more bathroom trips a day. The current "war on drugs" is making it more difficult to get any Doctor to prescribe. All other drugs either do not work for me or have serious life altering side effects. Tincture gave me my life back. I am able to eat healthy again, go out of the house without fear of accidents, and it has the added bonus of relieving pain and fatigue."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about a month now. I just finished the first month now going onto the second.  It hasn't so much helped my period length yet, but it did take away the feeling of cramps which was nice.  My gyno said it could take up to 3 months for you to get your full effect.  So during this past month while on Loestrin 24 Fe my period was still 12 days, but I have hope for that to change in the next month.  Loestrin is responding a lot better to my body than YAZ did.  "


"When taking macrobid I felt slightly nauseous and had a headache for a few hours. My advice is to eat a light meal with it. I didn't hence I felt sick. After 5 days symptoms improved though. Glad I stuck through it the last 4-5 days :)"


"I have suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and Depression for years and have been on many different meds. The longest being Luvox. I decided to see a new Psychiatrist and she took me off of the Luvox and put me on Prozac, gradually increasing it to 60mg daily. OCD improved, but depression & GAD didn't. She then put me on 2mg Abilify added to my Prozac daily. In 3 days I started seeing improvement and feeling better than I have in many years. Life had been a struggle for me for so long and now I feel better than I have in years. I sure hope and pray that I continue to feel this way. Yes, my appetite has increased and I am gaining some much needed weight. I would still prefer these minor side effects than to go back to the old me. I give Abilify a 10 ."


"This birth control worked effectively to act as a birth control BUT... The side effects suck so bad. I've been on this birth control for 2 1/2 years, probably closer to 3 now, and I've been having breakthrough bleeding for nearly the whole time I've been on it after year 1. Imagine this: getting double periods every month or periods that last for like half the month. That's what I've been going through for well over a year. I didn't want to switch over because I thought it would stop and my body was already used to this medication but finally I couldnt take it anymore. I would get EXTREMELY moody and depressed during the multiple periods. Imagine being angry and tired and sore half the month, every month, for over a year. I'm now 21."


"Chronic uveitis/iritis. Several drops and pills and injections later, the one thing that shows marked decrease between flares for me is this stupid kenalog injection. I would rather do anything that get injections in my eye! They're miserable for a few days afterwards. Not great for active mom of toddler. Want to burry my head in silence, darkness for three days. HOWEVER, I have basically been in a two year long flare, this injection has given me quieter days with my fickle illness. Saved my sight. Lasts about 3 months during rough goes and 8 months during good times. So they say."


"I have just started this medication 120mg once daily, was on oxycontin er 80mg 2x day, with  morphine 30mg 3x day as needed. I have multiple disc herniations/stenosis  all three areas of the spine, failed cervical fusion,tendenonites left and right shoulder, knee etc.I have had multiple pain issues since the age of 30, and have had other pain treatments including injections, bilateral rhizodamies,gangliotimies.  Granted I have just started this rx after my insurance carrier decided not to pay for oxycontin 80mg bid,. I've gotten pretty good relief so far, since I was truly hesitant after reading these reviews, but so far it is no better or no worse than oxy 80 . Have had no major side effects so I'm pretty satisfied so far."


"I started taking adipex p on 7/4/15 weighting 218 5'4 in height... Went back for my weigh in on 7/30/15 and was at 210 which I am very happy about"


"Have been taking this for situational anxiety for many years. It worked to some degree but I would always feel depressed afterwards which was awful. Last year I used it daily up to 1.5mg while I was changing my anti-depressant. This was a huge mistake. I soon reached the tolerance and began to get rebound anxiety which started up every morning. I've been off of it for 10 weeks now and still suffering. This is really hard to come off of. My advise is don't take this more than once a week and that may be too much. My anxiety is so much worse because of lorazepam."


"I was prescribed this after suffering from insomnia for several years. Tried OTC sleeping pills which made me feel hyper all night and just a sick overall feeling. Ambien is not for long-term use, as I have learned. Ambien was fantastic the first year I took it. I would look forward to taking it, feeling peaceful, and going to bed. In the past year, I take it, feel sick and hungover-y, and decide to go lay down. I do fall asleep but wake up in the morning feeling sick and with a headache. I have to drag myself out of bed. I know it is from taking Ambien for too long, so I am switching to something else. Was helpful for about a year."


"My daughter was on this for 6 weeks and on her second blood test was told she had high cholesterol and high potassium levels. Days later she was rushed to hospital and was told the roaccutane caused pancreatitis. No one told her this was a risk when you take it"


"I don't know if this is hurting my kidneys. I don't know if it will be extremely hard to get off of it. I DO know that I would be dead without Suboxone.

I lied, stole money... anything to not have withdrawals. I didn't have much hope for Suboxone. I thought it would be like a patch when you try to quit smoking (helps but doesn't do the trick)
Day ONE... immediately...  I felt NO withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. I was ecstatic!
If you are on drugs... you MUST do this NOW!
I was skeptical...but this is the best choice I've made in my life.
Suboxone gave me my life back. No exaggeration."


"It has only been a day since my 4 month old son was diagnosed with double lobe pneumonia. I have seen a huge difference within the past 24 hours. It's hard to believe he was sick for 3 weeks prior. We were told it was just a cold. So I took him back every few days until they finally listened to me. He ran 103 fever for about 5 days and it has disappeared. "


"During a yearly checkup, my doctor impressively picked up on my sleep disorder (personally, I thought he was nuts; I felt it was just all the crazy stress in my life that made me want to sleep at any chance I got). Well, my sleep study came back severely abnormal. What?? Are you kidding me???  He was right!  I was diagnosed with excessive daytime sleepiness/narcolepsy without cataplexy. Since then, I have been on Nuvigil 250mg.  I cannot begin to tell you the difference it has made! The response was immediate for me, and I'm so glad I no longer have to sleep my days away!  What an interesting field of medicine!  I believe what they know about sleep now is just a scratch on the surface on how it impacts our health and well being."


"I have been on Cymbalta for 10 weeks now.  I started at 30 then went to 60.  I was feeling wonderful, less negative, less worried, it was great.  However the last 10 days or so I have started clenching my teeth, severe nausea, horrible dreams, weight gain and dizziness.  I don't want to go back to the way I was feeling before, however I can't continue feeling this way either!"


"I started Lutera about 7 months ago and I love it (now). The only reason I give it an eight was the first three months I had horrible migraines but just figured that was my body adjusting. I bleed and cramp less. I gained about 5 lbs. And my face is pretty clear."


"Abreva makes my cold sores smaller and less noticeable. Before Abreva my cold sores would hang around for a couple of weeks but now it is less, maybe a week or a week and a half but the big difference is the size. You have to catch it first day though."


"I have been on Neurontin now for 10 days. My pain management doctor put me on it for pain as well as for my migraines. The dosage he has me on is 1 tablet 3xs daily. The tablet is 300mg. I have experienced mood changes. I seem more agitated than I normally am. Hopefully I get better at that. I always feel drowsy after taking it. I haven't had a migraine yet but we shall see if I do anyways. It will be hard to tell since every 6 months I go and do radio frequency on the back of my neck. That is where they burn my never endings to help my migraines. So I hope all my pain goes away and I do not experience any freakish side effects. I wish everyone the best in taking this medicine and I hope all of us will stay pain free. "


"I went to ER because of a bad headache due to my blood pressure being up.  They gave me Reglan and Benadryl.  Within seconds I felt such a rush that I thought that I was having an allergic reaction.  I started asking what was wrong with me, what did you give me.  I could not lift my head or turn myself over.  I felt limp as if I were a rag doll .  I thought that I was dying and kept asking my husband to pray for me and call my pastor.  This was the worst drug reaction that I ever experienced.  I hope others have better results."


"Claritin-D is amazing. It allows me to breathe and work/drive/live at the same time. I actually feel better than normal when I take it. I wake more refreshed and seem to focus better. No negative side effects for me."


"It controlled my blood sugar, but I gained weight at an alarming weight. 40 lbs in 8 months. Plus my nose was always running, coughing and sinus problems . All this plus exhaustion.  Not worth it!!!"


"Nordotropin Flexpro Pen is very easy to use, just not easy to get the insurance company to approve or finding a Dr. that knows how to handle patients with this condition."


"I have a A1C 0f 6.2. I am 265 pounds. I just started Bydureon yesterday my Dr. office gave me the  first one free and I  gave myself the first injection. I have had some mild nausea. I have not had the desire to eat very much and in fact went to bed without eating any dinner, had an overall odd full feeling. I am nervous because I have seen so many reviews of people that had a lot of nausea and vomiting, so far so good but it still worries me. I really want to lose weight and feel better."


"I recently started Neurontin after trying oxycodone with a bad allergic reaction.  Initially, I was tired non-stop with nausea and vomiting the first two weeks.  Now, I have no nerve pain as long as I take it at 300mg three times a day. I do have a nonstop haze that does affect my reading so reading isn't too enjoyable anymore.
I have also packed on 10 pounds.  I still have horrible joint pain that I treat with 800mg Advil three times a day.  My gait is still the same and I still cannot walk without a cane, but the side effects are tolerable."


"Right before bed I felt the tingle and saw the tiny hint of a cold sore. Not new to this, and knowing I couldn't get prescription meds until the next day, I sent my husband to the store to get Abeva. I applied it that night and in the morning and again mid morning. I went to the doctor in the afternoon to get a prescription medication. Before I got home from the pharmacy I had a HUGE cold sore. I took the meds and continued the Abreva. The cold sore continued to grow in size and is hideous. I stopped the Abreva and am using Petroleum on the lip with the medication. It's slowly getting better now. I'll never use Abreva ever again."


"Minimal side effects. It takes a lot of them to help me out but they do more so than Norco or Vicodin without having the extreme side effects of Oxycontin or Dilaudid. Percocet is a pretty good median. It's my favorite pain reliever so far."


"I was given Latuda after a psychotic manic episode. Despite the "weight neutral" claims, I gained 13 pounds. I am now weaning as my episode has cleared, and am moving onto Lamictal.

Here is a hint for everyone gaining weight from antipsychotics. They trick your body into being Type 2 Diabetic. This changes how your body responds to eating carbs. Cut the carbs, and you won't gain weight. Eat carbs, you most likely will."


"I have two kids - both born vaginally. Needless to say, my cervix is used to being stretched. I decided on the paragard (due to it being hormone free and my pre-existing mental health problems) shortly after I gave birth a year ago, but it took me a year to overcome the horror stories.

I'm here to tell you that yesterday, I bit the bullet and got it done. It. was. easy. In in less than a minute. The little tube the IUD slides through to deploy into your uterus looks big and painful, but take 800mg Motrin before hand and you shouldn't feel anything more than a scrape and a pinch. I had a minuscule amount of spotting, and a day later I still have mild cramps, but it's nothing I can't handle. Highly recommended!!!"


"This medication is one of modern medicine's true miracles. I started taking it 7 months ago after a devastating benzo/opiate relapse and I have suffered from MDD and insomnia for 19 years. During that time I have literally tried everything - legal AND illegal. Thank God for this medicine. I did gain a ton of weight at first but consider it a small price to pay for high quality/quantity of sleep, energy, a positive mood, and an all around "good" feeling.
Everyone reacts to medicine differently, don't give up. I am so thankful to have my sanity and my life back - all thanks to this medicine."


"I had good results from Wellbutrin. But had a seizure caused by the trauma of a sub-dural hematoma, three brain surgeries, and two craniotomies within 20 days and had to be taken off Wellbutrin because of the seizure risk. The seizure was not contributed by Wellbutrin. Other than the seizure risk Wellbutrin worked well with no side effects."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about three months now. It was prescribed to me by a psychiatrist due to depression and anxiety, low cognitive function and bad working memory.
Wellbutrin started working on me around week 8. Mood lifted immensely, better executive function, lower anxiety, became much more goal oriented. Stopped delaying and procastinating everything, became interested in my hobbies again, felt clear headed, more energetic and general mental well being. Struggle with working memory a bit, still."


"Amazing birth control. Helped me lose close to 20 pounds after switching from another birth control. I'm not moody, depressed, my skin looks amazing. It doesn't cause water retention or strange strong cravings. Highly recommend it."


"I have had a degenerative disk for almost 10 years, and have taken Ultram for the past year and a half. For almost 8 years, due to no insurance, I took nothing and lived with the pain. No narcotic such as hydrocodone has ever touched the pain, but Ultram completely eradicates the pain! It helps my mood and I'm able to work long hours with no pain. As of July 1, 2014 it is a schedule 4 narcotic and now I'm unsure whether I'll be able to get the dosage I need."


"I had never hard of naproxen sodium before but I had a bad headache at work and my friend gave it to me.  It worked well and fast.  I would definitely take it again."


"Zoloft was very effective for about 2 years then I became immune to it and my bipolar depression returned."


"Don't like this medicine at all my doctor told me to take ten 4 milligrams tab  every Wednesday . I can't sleep swollen neck and face tingling and swelling in the feet, shortness of breath ...and lots more
I'm not taking this medication anymore"


"Great drug, it lets me keep my new kidney, but it gives me terrible diarhea. Just got a kidney 7 weeks ago had my first one 12 years ago."


"Starting methadone was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I look much healthier, and on top of all that I got an excellent job. Now I don't have to worry about being sick, methadone is amazing!"


"Started Wellbutrin XL at 150 mg once a day to treat depression and anxiety, although was more concerned about depression. The first week I was on it I was absolutely miserable. I did not sleep or eat at all and was crying constantly and I think it definitely worsened my depression. However, I called my doctor and had my dose lowered to 75 mg and not extended release and I immediately felt better. I have been on that dosage for about 6 months now and I feel amazing. I am able to control my emotions so much better and I rarely have meltdowns ( I used to have a complete meltdown anytime anything negative happened to me). I definitely plan on staying on wellbutrin. Would just recommend you make sure you are on the right dose"


"AWFUL MEDICATION. I was on Xifaxan for a week and a half when it started giving me crippling stomach cramps every time I ate. The cramps have persisted three weeks beyond stopping the medication and I can only eat plain rice/pasta and peas. It also didn't do what it was prescribed to do and I still have symptoms of IBS. All it did was give me a side effect that makes me not able to eat."


"I have chronic panic disorder/ agoraphobia ,if not for this drug I would be dead,now with all the conflict goin on about it ,I won't survive,im a 60 year old man who has been on 3 to 4mgs a day,how inhuman these new doctors are."


"I tried everything else on the market.  Nexium works, but not as good as dexiliant.  With Nexium I got most of the listed side effects plus my new insurance will not pay for nexium prescription . I had to buy it over the counter and take double dosage which came out of be about 46 instead of 23.   I really need prescription of 40 mg?   I am glad I do not have stomach pain, lower back pain, dry mouth, etc from taking nexium.   All the other acid reflux prescription or over the counter didn't work and gave me side effect . My new insurance will pay for dexiliant, but a small portion and I couldn't afford the $150 a month co-pay.  I found out that the maker of dexiliant with pay the remaining $130 for me and I just have to pay $20out of pocket"


"The only thing Loestrin succeeds at doing is preventing pregnancy.  I've experienced weight gain, crazy spotting that is disruptive to everyday life, extreme anger, frustration, depression, etc."


"Started my pills on December 5th 2014.  Not February 4th down 18lbs love it couldn't be happier."


"I've had central vertigo for years, but the nausea and vomiting have increase lately. My gastroenterologist prescribed Zofran 4mg once a day. It's a miracle! I can go out and shop without vomiting in the aisles of the grocery store. I have my life back."


"I was a 3 pack a day smoker for over 20 years.  I smoked cigarettes since I was a teenager.  Chantix saved my life. I tried to quit smoking so.many times but couldn't.  I had the most awesome dreams on Chantix but I had no cravings after the first week.  Thank for creating chantix."


"I've been on Saphris 20mg nightly for 2 months. I have Bipolar Rapid Cyclical with ADHD. This medication is the best. I fall asleep within 10-15 minutes. The horrible taste is a small price to pay. My mood is the most stable it's been in a long time. I'm happy about life, feeling very positive- a huge change for me!"


"Sour stomach"


"I was on it for 2 years and the quality of my life deteriorated. When I began losing my hair I looked up the side effects of this and I found I must have been one who was very intolerant to it.  I had the hacking cough, runny nose, my voice was hoarse, muscle cramps at night,  incontinence, lethargy, thin brittle fingernails, and insomnia. I stopped taking it and all those symptoms are gone. I had seen doctors about these symptoms but they dismissed them."


"I have been on pain medicines since 1987 and an injury. I went through it all the way up to Lorcet. Then when they found out I had a liver condition, they switched  me over to Butrans. About 30 minutes after taking it, I was out of pain, but I was also in a newer state of mind. On my previous pain killers, I assumed they were working. But with Butrans, once it hit me, I was VERY aware of being on a narcotic. NO pain and a nice buzz on the side.

Thank You to Butrans."


"Tri-sprintec is definitely the best medication I have had for my face. In high school I suffered from awful acne that got worse a week before my period started. My face was also burning so bad that I could hardly wash my face (the main reason why I had so much ance). My gyno prescribed this medication just for controlling the acne. Now I have been on the medication for 5 years and my acne has completely disappeared, and I don't ever remember my last bad pimple!"


"I received a sample of Synjardy and have only been taking it for 4 days.  I started off taking 850mg of Metformin twice a day and 5mg of Glipizide twice a day.  I had good numbers on this, but the Glipizide was causing too many hypo episodes, so my Dr gave me a sample of Synjardy.  The Synjardy has made my numbers more consistently 80-105 and I no longer have any hypo events.  I have also lost 4 pounds in 4 days.  The only negative I have noticed is having to drink and pee more.  It has made me more prone to waking up a little earlier to hit the bathroom, but it hasn't been that bad.  They have a savings card, but my insurance will not cover it at all, so I can't use the card and without that it is $431 a month, which I can not afford."


"I've had neuropathy for around 8 months. My first dose of Neurontin (300mg) made me feel very "loopy" for several hours. So loopy that I only took 150mg 1x a day for the next two weeks. I had a couple of good days on it and sometimes the medicines took the edge off my pain. But it didn't take the pain away fully and made me extremely moody and act out of character. I have two genetic diseases that makes me sensitive to medication so that might be why Neurontin was not effective for me."


"This medicine kept the migraine from becoming full blown.  It made me sleepy and out of sorts, but this is better than an agonizing migraine.  I took it as soon as I saw the visual effect and within 30 min my vision was back to normal.  However, I still had a mild migraine with very little nausea.  Imitrex made me tired and my body felt heavy. It also made my tongue feel swollen, but it wasn't. But I'd take this over a full blown migraine any day! It seemed to fast forward the headache rather than it being debilitating like last time. I still lay around all day though."


"Reduction in urination frequency has been a welcome effect however retrograde ejaculation and congestion have been unwelcome side effects."


"Am female veteran that served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the Navy. I got out in 2003 and have been going to the VA ever since. I have post traumatic stress disorder and extremely bad panic attacks.  At least 3 to 4x's a day. I can't leave my home; I'm paralyzed with fear. At first the VA came up with the right combination of
QUETIAPINE and 3MG Xanax Daily. I was able to go back to work as a correctional officer at a Georgia state prison. I was happy and my kids were happy.  Miracle. Then the VA Mental Health Center at Dublin canceled all Xanax for everyone last January 2011. In the last year I have lost my job, friends, kids. I'm scared all the time. I have on slots of panic attacks and can't leave the house anymore.

"


"I have been on Lo Loestrin for an entire year and I love it! I am a nineteen year old sexually active woman. When I first began to take Lo Loestrin I did get dizzy, felt mood swings, weird cravings, WEIGHT GAIN. You will gain weight, I am unusually small so the weight gain wasn't devastating ( I went from 98 pounds to 115). After a month or two my body adjusted to the pills and everything balanced out and it's been very effective. I've has about three periods in the last year which has its positives and negatives. I personally love Lo Loestrin."


"This really helped me for my period, before this pill, my period was so bad, going on for 7-8 days, with serious pain for the first 4 days. I would take like 4 ibuprofen (in just 3 hours, NOT good) and it wouldn't help! But now my pain is mild to none, and that makes me happy. I was seriously hoping it would help lower my acne level though... but it gave me more, plus oily skin. Just as long as it keeps the pain away, I'll keep taking it."


"I used this for Itch,rash and soreness rectal/vaginal area and found this cream to burn upon application. After about 5 minutes the burning pain diminished. However after urination; the burning returned. Very difficult to heal the area as well as keep clean. Used "Aloe Vesta" for cleaning and it burns as well. "Triple Paste" is the only ointment that does not burn. As well as providing a barrier."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for almost three years now and have never had any problems with it. The first month I had it in my sex drive was a bit low, and I felt tired. After that month I wad back to normal and now it's great. I lost a bit of weight too, which I didn't mind but I didn't like it so much as I already felt too thin. Thankfully though my breasts grew a cup size! What a miracle! As for acne, I didn't notice any change in my skin. I love the ring."


"I've had implanon 6 yrs.  Well in April I just got my second one. Every three yrs time to change. Am 29 yrs old used to weigh 115 at most . now am 126 and seem like am getting bigger. My sex drive is so bad. I don't never want to have sex. I feel so bloated. I got to get this removed ASAP."


"I was given Denosumab last November as I have had Osteoporosis for over 25 years.  Immediately I started feeling very sick, was really terrible increasing pain in my bones and muscles and exhausted after a few hours of sitting even.
As I have SLE Lupus, Fibrmyalgia and other systemic illnesses,
including hypothyroidism, I am surprised that the toxicity of this treatment wasn't made known to me.
I have a very sensitive system which is well documented and cannot take many medications, so why there was no warning with this I don`t know.  I have had lots of different infusions for my osteoporosis over the past 15 years with no side effects at all.
What is in this injection?  I cannot use my Matrifen patches any longer due to extra toxicity."


"This is my second time taking Prozac. I took it for two years before for panic attacks, insomnia, OCD and it did wonders.  After a month my head cleared up,  my memory improved as well as my sleep. (No longer waking up in the middle of the night worried about things).  Only downside is that I tend to gain a lot of weight on it. As soon as I stopped last time the weight came off almost immediately. I plan to watch what I eat and exercise more this time. After a month now I have already started feel 2000% better and sleeping sooo good."


"This medication has made a tremendous difference in my life.  My pain was due to arthritis and none of the drugs prescribed for this condition worked.  After two weeks on Lyrica I feel like a different person and my back is back to normal."


"The drug made me gain weight and become depressed which I was never before using of the drug. I now have an addiction that I can't beat. I would probably sue them for not warning me about the drugs addictive properties. I think  this drug may help some people. However people have a right to be informed about what they are getting into."


"I have used Nexium for 3 years because it is the only cure for gastroesophageal reflux disease. I have tried all the other drugs and non of them even provide 50% relief. Nexium is a gift from God."


"This drug made me EXTREMELY TIRED.  It was like being on heroine.  Barely being able to keep my eyes open.  I've never been this tired in my life"


"I've been on Tetracycline for about 10 months. I tried different face cleaners, than went on to topicals including TAC2O. But nothing worked. I started this and my acne did start to clear up, acne on my chest went away completely, back acne was almost gone and my face was 10x better than it was before. The only problem for me was, that even though my acne wasn't terrible around my period I would spike dramatically, and my entire face would break out. But for the most part my face did stay mediocre. Having between 4-7 spots rather than my 15-20"


"Made it worse heart pounding stomach hurt first anxiety meds I've tried"


"I LOVE THIS BIRTH CONTROL!!!

Improved my complexion,

No weight gain,

NO SIDE EFFECTS,

No period!

BEST BIRTH CONTROL I'VE EVER USED!"


"I started taking lyrica 25mg 2 weeks ago. I was sleepy day 1, took nap. Next day 25mg felt well and energetic. I'm combining low dose which a massage every 2 weeks. I'm interested in what others have to say about long term use at a low dose."


"I have had Fibromyalgia for 15 years. Tramadol not only gives me my life back, but is the ONLY medication that has helped my depression incredibly. I could not continue working without this med. Has helped MORE than other pain meds which I've been on every single pill out there."


"I had BV and was prescribed Metronidazole. Was on that for a week & took my last dose Wednesday night. Thursday morning (yesterday) I took the Fluconazole pill. Today (Friday) I see more discharge. While I took the Metronidazole pill the discharge was clearing up but now it's back. It's red so I can't even tell if it's because of the pill color or because blood is mixed in it. When I took the Fluconazole it made me very nauseous & I had diarrhea not even 10 minutes later. My stomach is cramping & I don't know what from. My period went off earlier this week so I know it can't be from that. Anyway, both prescriptions made me sick to my stomach & I don't feel like they were very effective. I'll wait until Monday to see if it's completely gone."


"I developed shingles in my face, scalp, and eye in 2005.  The initial pain was treated with gabapentin, which didn't work very well. The doc wouldn't prescribe anything stronger.  In fact, she hardly recognized that shingles pain was significant.

My PHN kicked in when the rash disappeared.  I've still got it.

I monitored the internet for PHN meds and when Lyrica came out I notified my new doc immediately.  He started me out at 100 mg three times a day and when that was only modestly effective he kicked it up to 150 mg X 3.  It works very nicely.  However there are side effects.  My weight gain has been significant.  Brain fog happens.  I get double vision on an irregular basis.  I feel tired.  Now my liver values are increasing."


"I am on Ronexa 1000mg since 1 year now. I still have pain in chest and arm, plus serious constipation and terible memory Los it's short term memory loss I am talking.

Like going for glass of water from fridge and forget half the way why I walk upto there."


"I am 20 years old and I was never fond of using any type of birth control because I was only in serious relationships my entire life. I have two children BOTH from c-sections under the age of two. Before my second child I tried the NuvaRing- let me just say I was very moody. Also after intercourse it literally stung for about five minutes. After I discontinued using NuvaRing the stinging cleared up. My doctors gave me Loestrin 24, it is a miracle pill. It is definitely better than the symptoms of pregnancy. It feels like I'm not even on a pill. I take mine at NIGHT also I used to be real constipated so it helps with that. "


"I have only been on trinessa for 2 months now and Its really nice. I have never really had much in the way of  acne but with this I never even get a pimple. My periods are 3-4 days, pretty light with no cramps. The first couple weeks I completely lost an appetite and lost a couple pounds but now I'm back to normal. No complaints!!"


"I am allergic to this product against the skin rashes stuffed up sinuses headache puffy eyes Redskin  uncontrol sneezing dry mouth sore throat achy all over and vomiting"


"I am 49 1/2 and today I can tell you I am happy, positive and full of hope. I am on 10mg of Lexapro just finishing up my 8th week. I also have Ativan for emergencies and I still need Ambein to sleep. Before taking Lexapro I was always anxious and easily overwhelmed. Then I had too many thing happen in a short time period that caused me to have a melt down. Three trips to the ER with one of them a short stay in a Unit after Celexa caused me to have suicidal thoughts. I was constantly worrying about everything. I couldn't eat, sleep but with Lexapro my appetite came back in just the first 3 days. I was very scared to try another drug after Celexa, but I can't tell you how happy I am to be back better then new. Take a chance."


"Humira ruined my life.

I now have horrible arthritis that wakes me up screaming in pain when I move my knees. My joints are swelling and painful. I have also lost control of my left bicep, it went dead and no longer works. I also have horrible nerve pain, especially around my elbows.

This medicine caused so many new problems for me that I never had before taking it. I just had mild to moderate UC before taking this. Im now in pain all the time.

I failed Lialda, and Remicade before this."


"I got the Implanon in May 2008. I was told I would have irregular bleeding for the first 6 months then it would stop. It's been 14 months and I have had my period ever since I got it put in. I've been very patient since my doctor kept saying just wait another month and maybe it'll die down. My mood swings are off the charts, I find myself always being angry and depressed. It's so annoying to always have a tampon on and I can't even mention how that affects my relationship with my husband. Also have horrible acne. The only positive things I can say from the Implanon is that you don't have to remember to take the pill, and I didn't gain any weight from it. I made an appointment to get it removed tomorrow, I can't take it anymore."


"Used it when I came back from Cuba Had travelers diarrhea really bad ,It took care of it right away ,"


"I have been using Epiduo for about 4 months now and I have seen major improvements.  My facial recipe consists of Cetaphil, Neutrogena Sunscreen, and Epiduo. I use this combination once in the morning and once at night. It has really helped me a lot I could cry.  I have been suffering from acne for 10 years and have finally found my solution. Now my dermatologist did prescribe me doxycycline to expedite the clearing of my skin but has taken me off."


"I have taken other medications that either leave me restless and awake all night or give me such severe hallucinations I feel like I need to commit myself. Trazodone has really helped. I get a good 6 hours of sleep. No problem with the groggy headaches after my first month on it. Dosage 100mg"


"My doctor prescribed Pristiq to help me deal with overwhelming grief after death of my son. I never took any antidepressants before, so I have nothing to compare it with. It worked very well for me, after taking it for just 3 days,without major side effects. I don't cry everyday like I used to, but also feel somewhat emotionally numb. I am calmer, happier and able to go on with my life."


"This generic form does not work at all, may be better not not using this drug. Brand name valtrex will clear up the herpes virus infection used for genital herpes suppression but the generic does not. I used brand name before and had up increase dosage one year, I can not help but to think the manufacture has cut some corners in effort to lower the price for patients. Still insurance will not cover the price for a brand name and it's very expensive. I wish the generic work as good as brand name for suppression therapy."


"Been suffering from mild/moderate acne for about a year, at 30 years old and having never really suffered as a teenager, I've found it quite distressing and upsetting. Ten days ago I gave up with over the counter creams and went to the doctors.
He prescribed me Duac 5% and WOW is all I can say. This is a miracle product. After just 3 days I saw a noticeable improvement in my skin and actually woke up every day excited to look in the mirror to see how much better it was! I'm now on day 10 and my skin is almost clear, highly recommend this, only advice - invest in a good moisturizer, can be quite drying but does exactly what you want it to and FAST."
