"Tried this medication for opioid induced constipation. Have been on opioids for chronic pain issues for about 7 years. Have also had rectal cancer and have a permanent colostomy bag. This medication did nothing to help my constipation. It caused severe stomach cramping after about one hour after I took it.   With a colostomy bag you should never be constipated. I do take four capfuls of marilax daily.  This does make me have a very runny stool. It is expensive though and doesn't taste the greatest. In fact I can hardly get the Marilax down at this point.  I can't seem to find anything really to help.  I also take 4 Sennakot tablets every day.  I wouldn't recommend this medication."


"Would be an absolutely perfect drug without the side effects. Constant tiredness and dizziness makes it almost impossible to work. It definitely has high effects on motor skills and sexual ability. But, hallucinations and delusions are gone. No more voices, and paranoid thoughts after only a month. It's a good drug if you want to sleep all day."


"Hit the scales at 208lbs (14.12stones) and decided enough.
First dose of 0.06 morning, felt mildly nauseated early evening. But had a little bite to eat.
Next day, same dosage, early evening too nauseous to eat at all.
3rd day ok to eat a bite, but noticed all cravings and more surprisingly, thoughts of food gone.
I'm on day 6 now, and a have lost 8lbs. I'm sure there will be water in there, but even so very impressive. I've had a muggy headache on and off but think it's a fair trade off."


"Well I have been on Ambien CR 12.5 mg for close to 6 years now and absolutely love it. I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. I developed insomnia when I started doing shift work and tried everything under the sun starting with melatonin, Benadryl, Restoril and all the new ones that have come out since and although some were helpful with helping me fall asleep, they did not keep me asleep past the 3-4 hour mark..so the Ambient CR has been great for me."


"One of the best to be used for faster relief and available everywhere."


"I was a heavy drinker for 35 years. I relapsed 2 years ago after more than 12 years of sobriety. My doctor gave me Campral. I was amazed, I had no desire for a drink, ZERO desire. I did have severe diarrhea, the drug was doing so well that I tried to tough it out, hoping my body would adjust. It didn't and reluctantly I was forced to stop. after 2 weeks without a drink I started again. Just got Naltrexone today. I hope it works as well without the side effects."


"Due to possible heart failure about 15 years ago I started having partial seizures waking up in airplanes or hotels not knowing were I was for some time and than gradually became alert until I started with many severe seizures. I started with Tegretol and then switched with Trileptal that was very effective. Forgot to take it a few times and had seizures until I became very conscious of the need and since then I am quite well. I need to stay far from confrontations and conflicts. I currently take 1,500 MG daily (600 morning, 300 dinner 600 @ sleep). My sodium level suffered a lot but I am good on it now. The way to balance it is with coconut water, sports drink and adding a bit more on home cooking. It is a super medicine. I miss my red wine!"


"Prescribed in tandem with Effexor for suicidal depression. Useful initially for sleep and anxiety reduction, but no noticeable effect on depression. Side effects hard to tolerate: significant weight gain (15 pounds in 6 weeks); excessive sedation during daytime; sore, dry eyes; stomach pains; bladder pains and trouble urinating; coordination problems. Overall, feel "toxic". Could deal with this if drug was effective, but I'm tapering off it asap. Would not wish to discourage anyone who might benefit from taking this medication, but side effect profile is not fun."


"This has been my miracle drug. Gave me my life back.

In the beginning I had awful headaches but they went away after a couple weeks."


"I fill better."


"I have been taking Carbatrol 200mg for 13 years and I can only pin point me being tired from the medicine. When I take it like prescribed I do not have any episodes."


"I was really hesitant to take Abilify after being on Zoloft and later Wellbutrin without noticing effects, but I did anyways and within a few days I started noticing effects. I feel surprisingly good now. I find myself doing chores like washing dishes or my laundry and realize that usually I would just slump around saying "I'll do it tomorrow" until I'm nearly out of clean clothes or dishes. I find myself singing to songs on the radio and my mood is not only noticeably better -- but remarkably and incredibly better.

I haven't noticed any side effects except maybe that I'm a bit hungrier than usual -- for instance, I'll feel hungry and get a meal but not be able to finish it. So far, excellent results. Only about 2 weeks in."


"Worked very well."


"So far it's doing me pretty well. The first day I started this birth control I did expedience nausea, but I haven't had it sense. It's cleaning my acne wich is awesome!!"


"Being 18 years old and choosing a birth control method for the first was a very scary thing to do especially when I have a horrible memory taking pills everyday but my doctor gave me a variety and I thought nuvaring would be a good idea to start off. Ever since I started I love it! I was so scared due to the horrible reviews but honestly nuvaring was the best choice I could've pick! I love how it's a monthly process, no pills needed and you have control of taking it in and out. I had no problem with side effects I feel happy, I really recommend this birth control method!"


"I discontinued birth control several months ago after taking it for 18 years and in a moment of passion my husband and I flat out forgot that I wasn't protected and took no precautions. We realized our mistake after it was too late. It was day 15 of my cycle and the next morning I could tell I was ovulating. I bought plan b and expected to feel very sick. I just prayed I wouldn't throw up during the first two hours. Even normal bc pills make me vomit when starting a new pack. I was shocked when I felt totally fine, other than some dizziness. I even did some yoga (and felt like Amy Schumer). It's too soon to confirm that it worked but my experience has been good so far and I have a good feeling about it"


"5th pill in 2 years finally one cycle per month!"


"I was diagnosed in 2009 and started taking it while it was just a study pill.  I did get joint pain pretty bad.  I was in remission about a year later.  The joint pain was bothersome and I had to take it for life.  Well I stopped taking it in 02/2012. I told myself I was a lot better.  Well guess what my leukemia is back.  I need to go see my doctor again and need to get back on it.  So everyone please don't stop taking it like I did.  I hope and Pray that I will fight it again and win again."


"I take this almost every 2-5 days, due to my unbearable tension headaches. This past time (I am Rx'd 2 tabs every 4-6 hrs) I took my entire daily taking which is what, max 12? and I took them all but staggered, and I ended up in the ER with a shot of Naloxone from overdosing on the butalbital. Not sure naloxone works on barbs....but they gave it to me anyway. I was so out of it I couldn't see or talk right. I'm someone who takes benzos..or used to, that is, so I can handle that type of feeling. BUT....at the end of the day, this medication DOES work for tension headaches and helps me sleep, the caffeine in my opinion is cancelled out by the butalbital. I take the non scheduled- no codeine- version- although I wish I was. id cut back on em."


"Started yesterday at 4:30pm.  Taste wasn't bad, I used a lemon wedge to suck on in between gulps.  Almost immediately I knew it was working.  30 minutes in, soft stool then and hour in liquid stools.  The sitting on the toilet part only really lasted an hour and a half.  Then it slowed down.  By 7pm I was exhausted and decided to sleep if I could before round two.  Alarm was set for 1:30am.  30 minutes in major liquid stool... mostly water at this point.  My procedure is at 7am, have to be there by 6am.  Hasn't been a bad process, just dealing with stomach pains.  I'd been eating small meals every two hours, so the preparation before the prep has been the most difficult.  Trusting for a great report.  This 50 plus stuff sucks!"


"Fioricet does wonders! It helps my tension headaches, especially when I am stressed!"


"The 20% solution has allowed me to drop 10 grams per week off my infusion.

The consistency of my levels for the past 3 years have been normal and I have not had any infections. Recently I had to change my insurance and during that

Time I had a lapse in my infusion for 3 weeks, then I started back on my infusions and I did not have any problems at all during the 3 weeks without

Hizentra."


"Really happy it helped me a lot . Severe depression I took it then another dose  2 hours later . I  sweated etc felt very chilled then a slight headache . Felt a little tired and sick fell asleep 2 hours. When I woke I felt different I started cleaning my kitchen and bedroom. I lost my daughter Autumn to suicide in Oct . So believe me my depression was severe . Cleaning was a task I could not perform . Thinking more clear with no negative thoughts coming intrusively in my head . I really could not believe it . Gonna try it again tomorrow"


"I was taking Oxycontin after 2 shoulder surgeries, then I was in a bad auto accident. Even upping me to 80mg 2 x daily wasn't enough. My doctor suggested the Oxyfast for breakthrough pain, so I tried it. This was the only combination that took away all my pain, so I could work and care for my family. At 29 yrs old I thought my life was over, but these medications gave me my life back!"


"It’s been a miracle drug for me for 3 years. Just take it responsibly (I started off 5mg/night, now I’m on 10mg/night), never anything more. 10mg still works for me, even after 2 years of being at this dose. For someone who needs to be functional, productive, and aware in the morning, a good night’s sleep is essential. It might not work for everyone, but as a chronic insomniac since childhood, It’s been a life saver!"


"After 3 courses of Macrobid, good old amoxicillin seemed to finally clear up most of my issues."


"I was prescribed 10 mg once a day for depression and anxiety. After 3 months, I did notice a change in my mood. I would say it took about 3 weeks for me to notice a difference. I wasn't as anxious, less panic attacks and I wasn't as "down in the dumps". However, for me the side effects nulled the good. My sex drive decreased a good bit which caused problems in my relationship. I also experienced increased headaches, brain "zaps" and I was ALWAYS tired. I would yawn all day long LITERALLY. Being a full time college student, this was not good. I was too tired to enjoy life. All I wanted to do was sleep. I am now on Prozac."


"Everything comes with a price.  Works very well for prostate enlargement, but the side effects are very much there."


"I had my Mirena inserted September 2011, background info: Im in my twenties and have 1 partner and i have not had any children. My doctor wanted me to try the nuvaring first but I said i'd like the mirena for ease of use. The insertion was uncomfortable, and i had some cramping that day but nothing you cant handle! :) Overall, I like the Mirena. I have spotting off and on, but I only need a panty liner when it happens. No acne or weight gain, I do have a decrease in libido and i find that if i have an orgasm it is painful as I get cramps after (maybe that increase my decrease desire? due to expectant pain...). I'll be keeping in the mirena for another year to make it to the 5 year point, but Ill be removing it then."


"Great results!!..which was unexpected after I read all the reviews on here...If you only take one with plenty of water you most likely won't feel a lot of pain...I took one pill at 4pm,it's 7:30 now and I've already had 2 BM...I'm really impressed and so glad I didn't listen to the negative comments!!..It's such a relief and I had hardly even felt anything was happening!..THE SECRET IS WATER and don't be afraid to eat!!..Nausea and sickness usually occur when your dehydrated because this product sucks all the water out of you, so yeah stay hydrated and you should be good!! Definitely will use this again"


"Third week on Viibryd--been on 40 mg for five days. I was on Lexapro but it seemed to poop out or my post-partum depression was too much for the maximum dose. Definitely did not like the diarrhea side effect as I have major stomach problems, but it does go away. I feel pretty good. Before the Viibryd I was experiencing weepiness and major panic attacks. Feel much less depressed and anxious. It seems to be working. Sleeping better too. I've been on antidepressants for 20 years (Zoloft, Celexa, Effexor, Lexapro). Hope this one keeps doing what it's doing."


"I started taking Lisinipril October 8th, so almost two months ago.  I have developed a dry hacking cough and I am suffering from horrible Charlie horse type leg cramps which keep me awake at night. It also makes me feel sick if I don't have food in my stomach before taking it. I have changed my diet to vegetarian, cut out drinking any caffeine or alcohol. Hopefully this will help improve my bp. Going to my doctor next Saturday and I am going to request to be put on something else!"


"Abilify served me well over a two month period. Of all of the antidepressants that I have taken over the past 20 years, I would give Abilify the highest rating. However, one of its potential side effects can be significantly increased blood glucose levels  in some Type 1 diabetics. Unfortunately I was one of these and I was never able to control these levels within an acceptable range and I had to discontinue Abilify as a result. These statements should be taken with caution since I was only able to take the drug for 8 weeks. I noted no other serious side-effects. I do suffer from ED but this is as much a result of 40 years of Type 1 diabetes as of any other factor."


"Was on name brand Loestrin 24 when it came out 10 years ago. Switched over to name brand Minastrin chewables since that was the replacement Loestrin. I had no issues or side effects, get my period every so often and it would be very light. Switched insurance at it was $425 for a pack!!! So I called my doctor asking for a generic version and was prescribed Blisovi. The ingredients are identical, but I've been on it a month and a half and have gained 6 pounds. I follow a strict low carb diet and am celiac, so I am able to maintain my weight. Despite what I eat or drink, The weight is piling on and I have been spotting every other week. I've been on BCP for 10 years, you'd think I'd be pretty consistent."


"Stopped the incapacitating seizures. Side effects are bothersome but not as awful as the seizures: Sugar-sweet taste of all food, fatigue, occasional nausea, memory issues, sight issues, balance problems."


"Well, I started taking it back in 2011 in June after getting HORRIBLE side effects from LoSeasonique. It caused me to breakout (even on my thighs) and I retained water like no other. So, my doctor put me on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo.  When I first started it, there were not any side effects for the first few weeks. After the first pack, that's when I got side effects. My face broke out. But I stuck to it. It has to get worse before it can get better right? I do occasionally have a breakout still to this day. But I have not gained weight. I haven't been sexually active while on it so I cannot say it helps keep me from getting pregnant. I was put on it for my severe cramps I get. It DOES make my periods lighter and no cramps!"


"I started with 2 mg and went to 4 mg. Within a few days I started diarrhea.
Doctor couldn't give a reason. Went back to 2 mg and still had it. I found the answer in the side effects. I am now on 1 mg with no problem."


"All of these reviews scared me to death...im a 20 year old girl and took 2 pills in Italy without reading any reviews first. I started to feel really thirsty in the middle of the night so i looked up why i couldn't stop drinking water...then all of these reviews came up which ended in me calling my mom sobbing at 4 am. 2 hours later...no cramps, nausea, or any of the side effects listed but three painless BMs/diarrhea. I think the trick is water!!! after reading the reviews

(around 3 hours after pills) i drank 2-3 L of water and i was fine in the morning. The effects lasted/sensitivity after food for about 16 hours and I felt a little faint/weak which is to be expected with hydrolyte loss. drink H2O, keep the dose low you'll be ok!!"


"Started night shift work again after being on days for 14 years.  A friend told me about Provigil.  Asked my doctor and got the prescription. Unbelievable!  No drowsiness during the night, no spike and drop like caffeine or energy drinks, and fall right to sleep when I get ready to.  I'm in the trucking industry and it's great."


"I've used Aviane for about 5 months now.
I switched from Tri cyclen lo (great skin, bigger boobs BUT cramps) to Avaine because my cramps were so bad.
My cramps did disappear, I did not gain weight & had an increase in sex drive, however, my skin got terrible! So bad that I'm thinking about going back on Tri Cyclen Lo and dealing with cramps, OR switching to Yaz, which my gyno recommended!

Every birth control effects everyone differently so, reading reviews may not tell you how it will affect you. I'd say ask your doctor and try what ever they offer out!"


"I'm on month three following insertion. The first month I had no period or spotting :) The second month I had spotting that lasted 9 days, then had my period for 9 days, this was heavier & longer in duration for me than pre implant. Pre implant I would have my period ever 21 days and it would last for 4 days. Other than the aforementioned I have had no other side effects to date. I'll keep you informed if there are any changes. I hope you found this review helpful. xx"


"I started out taking the regular Adderall version, but it didn't last long and made me have horrible crash periods and steroid like rages. So far, the Adderall XR seems to be working better, but it does reduce my appetite substantially. I've had to start taking weight gain supplements to ensure that I maintain my proper weight. If I miss a dose, I feel pretty lethargic and extremely sleepy.

However, the medication has allowed me to read and focus better than I ever have, and I seem more motivated. I'm also able to talk better with others, and my social skills have definitely improved."


"Changing diet and exercise before starting Actos got my levels at a certain level at certain times during the day.  Added Actos, my numbers didn't change, doctor still has me on it for some unknown reason."


"At 55 years of age I am diagnosed with ADHD.  It was something I always knew about myself (have Bsc Psych).  However, historic issues of sexual abuse at school caused issues / depression / PTSD.  I was first given Citalopram and diazepam.  I cannot say with certainty it helped a lot.  However, once diagnosed with adult ADHD I was prescribed Ritalin LA. It has been nothing short of a miracle for me. Up early, happier, and getting on with life as best I can. Some minor side effects went away as I continued. Also changed to a decent DE-CAFF coffee.  Caffinated make me anxious and cancels the positives. Was easy to do. I see Ritalin LA as a positive for my depression."


"I just had some teeth pulled and was prescribed Vicodin. I got home and took one to relieve the pain and within 15 minutes I was covered in hives from head to toe. My son drove me to the hospital and by the time we arrived just 10 minutes later my hands were turning blue and my BP was extremely low. After 6 hours of Benadryl, Epi-Pen, and my blood pressure rose to 91/63. I was able to go home with the warning that over the next few days I could have that same reaction without having to take another pill. So with a large dose prescription of corticosteriods to try to prevent that from happening and an Epi-Pen in case it does,  I am taking Motrin and suffering through a little bit of discomfort."


"In January 2009 - My Prostate Cancer had metastasised into both ischia (Pelvis). My PSA was 33. I was prescribed Casodex as a forerunner to Zoladex LA (to avoid Tumour Flare. I was then lucky because I managed to rid myself of the Secondary Cancer by June 2009. I had altogether 15 implants of Zoladex LA over the last 3¼ years - and after my bone scan still showed "Image Clear" - my Urologist allowed me to discontinue any future treatment for the time being - but - keeping a careful watch my PSA (which most recently was down at 0.270) and the Testosterone level - (down at 0.2). I am now in my 5th week since the end of the last of the 12-week cycle and I am due to have a Blood test in 3 days' time. I felt very little side effects any time."


"Imitrex works for me even if I let it get to the really bad headache--hate to take because of the tightness in chest and achy throat afterwards.  But-they do the job and I always say later I should have taken it in the beginning."


"My doctor put me on this to help with my anxiety symptoms which include tight and sore jaw, tight and sore shoulders and tight and sore stomach. Not only did it take all that away, it helps me to sleep. I used to sleep great and didn't have these anxiety symptoms before my gastric sleeve surgery but ever since, I am developed insomnia and these anxiety symptoms. This has been a life saver for me!"


"I was on this pill for two years. My periods were very light and I liked it a lot at first. Over those two years 20-22, I went from 119lbs to 145lbs. I work out five days a week and eat pretty healthy. I switched to Ortho-Cyclen six months ago and I'm back down to 127lbs without trying."


"31 years old and have never taken any kind of medication other than birth control.  Recently went through some tough stuff and finally broke down after almost a year of feeling terrible and talked to my doctor.  Started taking Wellbutrin about a month ago and I haven't felt this good in years.  I started feeling better almost immediately.  I am motivated and focused and like my old self again. In addition I stopped smoking completely about a week after I first started taking it. Only negatives are I am having a REALLY hard time getting enough sleep and the dry mouth is bad but only on occasion. I really hope that the insomnia gets better because although I feel great, I know it can't be good to have such little sleep long term."


"I have been on and off suboxone for years from taking pain pills for bad neck pain and headaches. I was doing great for a few months until my doctor prescribed me Zubsolv 2 months ago. I noticed immediately I felt withdrawal symptoms and shortly afterwards I stated having stomach problems. I gradually became deathly ill and have been in and out of the ER 3 times with all kinds of GI problems along with a feeling of gas pains all over from my feet, head to my hands. Bad headache, trouble breathing, blurred vision, cannot think clearly, depression and so on. I think there is something else in Zubsolv that is doing this as I have racked my brain with how this all started. I have episodes of delirium and feel like I'm not going to make it."


"I took Viagra last night for the first time. Took 50mg waited 50 minutes and nothing. Took 50 more and since last night I've had four strong erection 4x what I normally have had. Strongly recommend. Much more confidence in myself."


"I am on my second round of Implanon. I had the first one inserted in October 2007 and had the second one put in yesterday afternoon. My boyfriend and I absolutely love this birth control. I haven't ever had mood swings, weight gain, or depression. I have my periods regularly and all in all I very much love this form of birth control. Since I have gotten mine my 3 sisters have followed suit and none of them have any side effects either. Before I originally got the first one I did tons of research and discovered that Implanon is a better form of birth control than getting your tubes tied at 1 in 15,000 women getting pregnant when using Implanon where as have your tubes tied is a 1 in 12,000 chance of getting pregnant. I absolutely love it!"


"This made me very tired. Definitely helps if you have insomnia, but makes it pretty much impossible to have a normal day's worth of activity. If you try to force yourself to wake up early, you will be rewarded with dizziness, headache, and overwhelming fatigue. A good sleep, but didn't really help my depression."


"I was originally given Fioricet after a spinal tap caused spinal headaches.  I have a history of tension type headaches with pain starting at the base of the skull and then radiates upward.  This medicine is the ONLY thing that works for me.  Trouble is finding a doctor that will listen and give it to me. Doctors pass out Percocet and Vicodin, but seem to hate prescribing this medicine.  Frustrating."


"Great meds...been taking zolpidem daily plus over the counter sleep meds every single night for a year...changed docs, gave me this for paranoia and nightmare, now I don't take zolpidem and otc sleep meds. My nightmare slowly changed to different dream,  not to extreme anymore.  I don't speed and beat red lights anymore when driving.  This at night and bupropion in the morning will help you find peace.  No negative impact on sexual performance. Still run 3k every day and work out."


"I, like many others, was having protected sex with my boyfriend when the condom broke. By the time we noticed it, it was too late. Frantic, I jumped in the shower and tried to wash off as best I could. We arrived at Walgreens less than an hour later and I took the plan B pill. For the next few days I was so queasy and was only able to dry heave. I felt a little more confident because I thought this meant that the plan B was working. However, when my period was supposed to come around on June 22nd. Turns out plan B didn't work for me, and I was 5 weeks pregnant. Currently undergoing a medication abortion from Planned Parenthood, and I can honestly say it's been one of the most painful experiences ever. I hope others have better luck..."


"Really nasty side effects - The injections are so painful that I had to find ways just to tolerate the pain.  I put a Lidaderm patch on as soon as I take the shot.  This helps with the pain, but then I get these large welts that last for days and are very itchy.  I found a Lidocane cream to help with the itching, but suffer from having under the skin turn into a leathery hard tissue.  These do heal, but the constant assault on my body has been a nightmare.  I went off the drug, three weeks later had a serious relapse.  I am back on the drug, I have tried everything, using the autoinjector, not using it - nothing really changes how the drug affects me. "


"Just happy with Cialis."


"Diclegis is a life saver!  Starting at week 6, I had terrible nausea and vomiting.  It was so debilitating, I could barely keep anything down or function normally.  About two weeks ago, my doctor prescribed me diclegis 4x day and its been a game changer.  The only thing I've noticed is that I start to feel really sick again if I miss a dose or if I take the medication late, but other than that, I'm feeling great!"


"This medication made me very anxious and caused panic attacks."


"I didn't have a good experience with dorzolamide. It burned intensely during application, and after a few days caused very red, itchy, sticky eyes with yellowish discharge, almost like pinkeye. I always had to stop using it after a few days."


"Honestly I was pretty scared taking this medicine after reading these reviews, but I took it and did not have one problem what so ever, also cleared my UTI right up ! Started off taking bacterium and had The WORST side effects, headache, dizziness, my body tingled, Super sick so they switched me to macrobid for 5 days and had no problems, ate with a healthy meal ever time I took it and drank lots of water throughout the day. Everyone is different, so I guess I found the one that works best for me!"


"I had my first depo shot november 25 2015, I was good for a week with no bleeding, I was suppose to go get my 2nd shot 25 feb 2016 but decided not too as I bled & still am bleeding today 13.03.2016, cramps are really bad clots are bad, I wish I had never had this shot. The doctor doesn't tell you that this could happen for months on end if they did I guess most of us would have thought twice about having it. I am full of regrets & I'm more depressed than I was before. I hate the bleeding it makes me feel disgusting & dirty as its never ending on a daily basis. My mood swings are at what i would call a dangerous level. I so would suggest that women thinking this is the best contraceptive out there, too think twice & read what has happened to us"


"I have always felt like something was wrong for as long as I can remember.  I think my depression is just normal to me and I've probably been depressed for many years without even knowing, just a feeling that something isn't right.   A failed relationship a while back, heightened my realisation that something is wrong and the pain of losing someone close was like a final straw for me.  I guess it might be true that everyone comes into your life for a reason, even if it is only meant to be for a short time.

After countless months and days googling and doing tests online, trying to figure out what might be wrong with me, I finally got the courage to go see my doctor.  After a few visits, he prescribed me Paxil and thinks this might help get me on the right track.  You see my depression isn't the usual in that I try to go about my daily life as normal as I can, it's called walking or smiling depression.  Behind it all though, I'm crippled with self doubt, negative thoughts, anxiety and constant feeling of sadness.  I feel guilty a lot, distance myself from my family and friends regularly and sometimes feel so down I cry for what seems like no reason at all.  I put on brave face to people and go about daily life as best I can, but behind the mask I am suffering.  I never really felt like I fit in and it's like I have to try to act to be happy in every day situations.  It's hard to describe, but it's almost like I'm standing behind my shadow.  I always look at other people and wonder what it's like to be just happy.

 I could never bring myself to telling anyone how I really felt, I guess it's only the last year or so that I became more aware and really accepting that something isn't right.  It's been so long that I have felt this way, I really don't know what normal is anymore.  I have lost 2 girlfriends  largely due to my low self esteem and low confidence finally taking its toll on the relationship, it's like I just expected them to leave, who would want to stay with a loser like me is how I portrayed myself to them.. That's probably the hardest pill to swallow through all this.  I know if I was mentally stronger, I could have held on to something good.

I know I have it in me to go change my life around.  Everybody sees it in me, but I feel trapped in my own body and mind.  I have a lot of trouble concentrating and I seem to always be so indecisive about what action to take.

I guess I'm wondering what I can expect from taking Paxil.  I know I'm the only one who can physically make changes, but can I expect to regain some self confidence and motivation, energy etc? I really don't know what to expect from this drug and am apprehensive about what it can actually do for me.  I guess part of me just wants to try do everything by myself, but I really don't want to waste another second of my life.  I feel like I haven't properly lived for at least the last 5 years of my life.  Thank you for reading."


"I have taken Celexa, Effexor XR, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Remeron and by far Prozac is a miracle drug for me. I would not take anything else. I have been on this prescription for 3 years and it is fantastic!"


"Started using ditropan (5mg) 3 days ago. On day one I took it with breakfast and noticed that post-shower while drying my hair (and straightening) it I didn't have a bead of sweat in sight! This dosage and medicine type has definitely kept me dry all-day long since then. I do however still sweat quite a bit at the gym but once I am done exercising I am no longer sweating at all (I would usually sweat quite a bit after the gym). I am giving it an 8/10 because it seems to wear off near the end of the day but I may just need to up the dosage a tiny bit."


"On Wednesday I noticed I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck and a spot on my eyebrow that was red and sore.  On Saturday I went to see a doctor and he immediately recognized it as shingles and got me started on famciclovir and 600mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours.  I took both medications religiously (shingles is nothing to mess around with).  Over the next 3 days the spot on my eyebrow blistered and then scabbed over, my eye swelled up, and I started to develop another spot on my forehead.  On day 4 the swelling was noticeably reduced and was completely gone by day 6.  The second place on my forehead never blistered or scabbed over. I didn't experience any side effects.  Worked great for me (29 yr old female)."


"I have been a big boned guy all my life 5"9 227 pounds. High blood pressure, cholesterol and bad joint pain. Since my early teens I have been bigger then most boys my age in every grade. I am now 34 years old and have tried just about every diet known to man without and sustained success. Four months 36 pounds down and feeling great. Easy to use minimal side effects and maximum easy weight loss. My joints are feeling better and 35 pounds to go before I hit my goal. I don't feel deprived and yes food still tastes very good but I just voluntarily eat smaller amounts. Real success real life."


"I have fibromyalgia and I'm 31. I'm on disability now because the job I had for 10 years said I couldn't work there because I take 2 x 10mg a day of Oxycontin. At least now I can live a life. Play with my kids wash my car...etc. Before all I did was suffer at work and my work performance was so poor they even tried to fire me.....or get me to resign."


"2 years ago my step daughter was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. She couldn't go to school, she was suicidal and completely dysfunctional. She has been on Zoloft since then. We decided with diet and exercise to spend 6 months weening her off the pills which was hard. I read about Niacin and we came off of Zoloft and immediately into this. 3 pills a day, which would make 1500MG. The flushing subsided very fast for her. On day 3 she went for a run, voluntarily. On day 4 she said she would join soccer. 3 weeks in she was better than ever before. I thought, its a fluke and when her pills ran out I accidentally bought flush free Niacin. It took one day to bring her down. Niacin works, she said it lifted the fog."


"At first the side effects were horrible, nausea, diarrhea etc. It seemed to subside after a while. However, My doc decided to up my dose to 1.8 and during that night I had the worst stomach pain (woke me up out of a dead sleep). I decided to take the same dose the second day, and again the same stomach pain. I went back down to 1.2 the day after that I could not handle the pain I was having. I will say I have lost 49lbs sense I started a few months back, but I have to wonder why my thyroid is starting to ache all the time?"


"Extremely effective treatment for tinea versicolor. Spots have not returned in over 1 year even in humid summer weather. This medication works very well in combination with selenium sulfide which you can find in head and shoulders extra strength shampoo or selsun blue shampoo. Wet affected area, Apply shampoo, let dry, then rinse off. Set 10 minutes a day for this. The results will show"


"I got this shot about two years ago. I was told by the urologist that it was a one month shot. I had the shot becaue we wanted some time to research and decide what treatment would be best. Found out later that it was a 3 month shot!
Suffered severe side effects! PSA dropped from 13 to 7, but the side effects were NOT worth it! Hot flashes with some of them causing me to nearly pass out were often (20  a day), memory problems, muscle/joint pain and on and on!
Once, while teaching I suddenly didn't know where I was or what I was doing!
After radiation I was recently put on Trelstar on a MONTHLY basis, nearly the same side effects but NOT the really bad ones!"


"I first started this birth control two years ago when I became sexually active. Children are not in my near future. Trinessa has been nothing but good for me! No bad side effects at all. I am a healthy 19 year old female and would recommend this drug to any woman who is looking to protect themselves."


"I was on heroin for almost two years and went to a hospital for detox..they gave me suboxone for only three days and I was cured of my dependence. And am still clean today after a year and a half..this was a life saver of a drug."


"I was prescribed Advair in combination with Spiriva after a bad asthma type attack in 2010 (1 of 3, the 1st in 2001; 2nd in 2007).  I finally went to a Pulmonary Specialist in early 2010. The inhalers combined with a series of oral prednisone helped me to recover fully.  At the advice of my new doctor I continued using the Advair and Spiriva daily.  In 2013 I developed Virtigo and continuous bladder infections, determined that was related to the Spiriva, so I stopped that one.  Several times during the 5  years,I have attempted to stop using Advair.  I think it is addicting in nature; I am unable to breathe without it!   THAT SUCKS....Especially since I was doing fine without any inhalers prior to continued use of Advair."


"Was on Remicade until October 2012, after my last colonoscopy and the Dr. saw blockage and he felt it was no longer working even though I felt fine. He moved me to Cimzia which didn't work for me, did that until January when I was switched to Humira. Didn't think it was working but now 3 months later finally feeling like it's effective. Wish they could make a pill form. The injections aren't extremely painful but they don't feel good. Maybe it's different for people with body fat but I have close to none and wont inject anything in my legs."


"Was prescribed to me for a tooth abscess in my lower left molar, severe swelling (left side of mouth, cheek, jaw and my throat) and for pain in my left tonsil...which hurt so much that I couldn't eat, barely drink, actually I just couldn't swallow anything PERIOD!

By getting this solution...I am now able to swallow a little better and although my molar is still in ALOT of pain...it is now actually stand-able to some degree; which I know it wouldn't be if I didn't have this to take.

Negatives:

1) Tastes really gross but worth it for the relief.

2) Hard to keep it in your mouth, w/o it oozing out (large dose/small mouth, I guess)

3) VERY thick! I use a dosing syringe to get all of the med especially to a specific place in my mouth."


"Librium is great. I've been a heavy drinker for years.  I lost my wife to drinking .  I went got librium this does work if u let it trust me"


"The insertion for me was painful. On a scale from one to ten it was an eight and a half. My periods were pretty heavy and I kept bleeding for about 5 months straight just light bleeding and spotting until I started my period. Which got kind of irritating but I just used a panty liner. So far my boyfriend and I have loved it sometimes he feels the string but not to often. In the last three months I haven't been spotting at all which has been nice! Also I lost weight on this.. every body is different but I was stoked about that! Anyways it's a good one to get I recommend it!"


"I was prescribed Metronidazole 500mg 3 times a day for 7 days. I'm on day 5 and this is the worst drug I've ever taken. My first day I felt ok then after started experiencing extreme dizziness, bad headache, and nausea. My eyes started to hurt and by my 3rd day I had the worst stomach pain/burning for almost 2 days now. I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I've considered going back to the er because the pain is so bad."


"I have been on opiates for chronic back pain and DJD for more than 15 years.  I have always had bowel issues, even before being on pain meds.  So adding more meds made it nearly impossible to evacuate completely.  For years I have been taking 6 or so prescription and otc laxative meds per day with very poor results.
A year ago, I was so backed up that I was vomiting repeatedly.  Long story short, after the ER doc checked for obstructions, he gave me a shot of Relistor and sent me home.  15 minutes later, when I got home I had to rush to the bathroom.  First complete 'normal' evacuation in years.  Too bad my pc won't prescribe it for me to take when needed."


"My Doctor gave me the starter pack for my depression and Anxiety I took the whole first weeks dose by sheer force of will. It was the worst thing I've ever taken and I've been on a few for my problems but I got symptoms on day one with this one and every day they got worse. Day one I started having major panic attacks one in my sleep so bad that I wet the bed as embarrassing as that is day two I got the poops out of no where I was fine sat down And it just came out it was Horrifying that there was no sign or symptom that I needed to go. That caused another attack. They next few days my mood got hostile, aggravated, and then drunk like. My body also did things like a drunk person including slurred speech stumbling and falling over"


"I was prescribed a 10 day course for cellulitis and after 5 days the infection cleared but I'm so nauseous, gassy and dizzy I had to stop. I feel so bad I'm borderline suicidal. It's an effective drug for sure but brutal on the GI tract. I pray this feeling goes away soon..."


"At first, I loved the depo shot. I got 6 weeks after giving birth and I haven't had a period since, which is wonderful. Unfortunately, my appetite increased greatly and I ended up gaining so much weight that I'm back to wearing maternity clothes because none of my clothes fit. I weigh as much as I did at 40 weeks pregnant and I've only been on the shot for 7 months. My next shot is scheduled for next month, but I am switching back to a pill. I have always been thin and I feel like someone else in my heavier body. If you don't mind weight gain, it's a great option. But the weight gain is too much for me."


"I got the nexplanon implanted a few months after I had my baby (2 years ago)..I loved it at first. I had zero side effects. My periods were normal. And I didn't have to remember to take it every day. I do not recommend this  but I did have sex without a condom or the POM with my fiance  all the time and never got pregnant.
But now, two years into it and I'm starting to break out like crazy. And my periods last 2 months with only a day break in the middle. It's getting out of hand. So I think Im going to stick it out for the last year and then get on the pill. Unless it gets much worse before the last year is up"


"Made me very dizzy and lightheaded."


"This is only the second day I have been on it, and already notice a tremendous improvement. I took my first dose yesterday afternoon, and when I woke up this morning I could tell my ears felt much better, as did the never-ending sinus headache. No bad side effects for me so far, and they would have to be very bad for me to quit taking this! Finally, RELIEF!"


"am on hydrocodone with Tylenol for many years for tmj pain headaches. Last few months , does not seem to work as well."


"I'm a 39 year old female, 5'7" and 224 pounds. I've struggled with my weight off and on. Last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm in a low dosage thyroid medication. I eat fairly clean but I stay very tired already. I spoke to my doctor yesterday and he suggested contrave because it's a nonstimulant. I'm to increase the pills weekly by one. This week I'm only to take one each morning first 7 days. I took my first one this morning and roughly 45 minutes later I was incredibly sleepy almost drunk feeling. It's gotten a little better but not much. I don't really have an appetite and I feel foggy minded. I will continue and hope the side effects ease up over time."


"It works to control generalized anxiety disorder. However, don't stop taking it until your doctor tells you to after at least a year. My psych took me off after 6 months and the symptoms returned."


"Works great - side effects minimal"


"Aczone is amazing!  I am 36 years old and have had adult acne my whole adult life.  As I got older it changed but I had never known a time where I wasn't breaking out somewhere. I've been to dermatologists for years and nothing they gave me ever worked. While my acne was not severe it did make me self conscious.  I went to a new dermatologist a year ago and she prescribed Aczone.  She told me it could take up to 2 months to work but I thought I'd try it. This is seriously the miracle I've been looking for, it started working right away.  I no longer get cystic acne and when I do get a blemish Aczone dramatically cuts down on the heal time, it pretty much makes my acne go away within a couple of days & I haven't had any dryness."


"Please please please don't use this drug! Was put on it for a bladder infection that I didn't even know I had and have been nothing but miserable. When I first started taking it 100 mg twice a day I noticed that I had severe nausea even though I took it with food. Then body pains and head pains came. My head would feel so heavy that I could barely hold it up and my ears felt as if they were full of fluid. Then came the vision problems and trouble balancing and basically walking. I had to take time off work because I have been have a mental breakdown because of this drug. I am constantly crying or in full on panic attacks, I feel like any day could be my last. Please don't take this pill its not worth it! I'm praying this won't be forever."


"I have suffered with depression for 5 years now and over those years have tried citalopram, fluoxetine and now sertraline. I can't stress how great sertraline has made me feel. I have lost over a stone in weight in the past month because I have felt so much better in myself. I have been on them since August 2011 and I feel much more relaxed, less panicky and a lot more lively. I finally feel like me again, and I'm loving it! No side effects except for weight loss."


"My 4th grade son began taking Concerta 2 1/2 weeks ago. It has been the best decision I ever made. His teacher says he is a completely different child. His funny personality remains but he is on task, finishes all his homework in class, and actually tells other children to quite down. I lamented for many, many months about whether or not to have him begin a stimulant. It is obvious that it was the right decision. I make sure he eats a hearty breakfast. He knows he needs to push himself to eat something at lunch and drink plenty of fluids. He did tell me he felt "prickles in his head" for the first 2 days. His teacher reported he was a little tired for a couple days as well. He says his mind is more clear and "not so jumbled". We're thrilled"


"I have had my 2nd Mirena IUD removed NOT to get it again. I have had the Mirena for 10 yrs. The moods swings were horrible, hair loss, I was tired all the time with anxiety, depression, weight gain (125lbs) that I could not shed with the IUD, no sexual desire, vaginal dryness, yeast infections. You name it I had it. My doctor at the time would just tell me it was depression ( I was going thru a lot so I fell into "this is my life now" and went with what my doctor told me). We moved I was tired of being tired. I went to see another doctor and had my IUD removed. I didn't need it my husband had a vasectomy 6yrs ago...I just loved having no periods. It was not worth all the other medical problems it brought. LADIES PLEASE do your research!"


"I have been on Pristiq for a month now and honestly hadn't been able to feel this good for the longest time. I no longer dwell on anxieties and negative thoughts, and I am no longer susceptible to terrible mood swings. I approach each day with optimism even if I have a lot of work to do. I am so so glad I started Pristiq. I feel so much better!"


"So far Butrans has been a lifesaver.  I've been on every nerve medication and pain killer for the past 6 years.  I was taking 10  Oxycodone every day just to stay functional.  1st day on the patch I didn't think it was going to work.  The next day I woke up almost pain free for the first time in years. It made me realize how bad my pain had actually been.  Butrans has been nothing short of a miracle for me.  No more pills (except Mobic).  No more roller coaster of highs and lows of pain medicines.  Just relief.  It's only week 2 but the difference is amazing.  Some minor side effects, little sleepy, subtle headache, but that's about it.  I feel almost 100% normal again.  I honestly had almost forgotten what normal felt like.  Thanks Butrans!"


"If you're reading this post then odds are you been scouring the internet freaking out and learning about h plyori....and coming across so many negative reviews about the medication.

 Look guys, you've got a bad infection that basically has 2 layer of protection. You have to attach this bad bug hard and heavy to bust through and kill it.

I'm on day 7! And yes the first day I was scared because of the new feelings in my body....weakness, somewhat bad taste in mouth, a little brain fog...but it is NOT THAT BAD!

By day 3 I felt like I'm cured!

After the first day it gets easier and easier, just take with food and when the side effects show up be calm and cool and relax, if you just relax it's simple. "


"My depression began slowly at first, then all at once I couldn't bear myself anymore. I am a sophomore in college (female). In the evenings and going on into the night, my mood dropped so fast and I would get so sad over nothing. After talking to a counsellor, and making the tough choice to medicate, she put me on a starting dose of 50 MG Zoloft. After taking the first pill, I was doing some research and had myself so freaked out that night that the side effects would be awful. I was so worried I would have to skip work or class. I have been on the medication a few weeks now and I had zero problems! I could not be more impressed. My moods are already stabilizing and I feel so much better already! Good luck to anyone starting!!"


"I am on my second Mirena - I had the first one for the full 5 years and loved it. I want to caution about one thing that has not been mentioned in any of the posts I have read.  After the first Mirena my new doctor insisted on an ultrasound before replacing it with a new one for 5 more years. I am grateful she insisted. I had 2 strawberry sized cysts - one on each ovary.  Easily treated with 3 months of birth control. The cysts disappeared and I was able to have a new Mirena. This insertion was very painful. In the hour afterwards I broke into a sweat and almost passed out. It has been 2 days and I'm much better, just light cramping.  Please get an ultrasound before replacing.  My doctor will also require follow up ultrasounds in 2 years."


"I am 5'. 105 lbs and was a carpenter for 6 years . I have a bad back 2 disc replaced in neck with a plate & 6 screws which gets cold and the pain goes right down my back . Have had 15 operations . Fibromyalgia and arthritis. Tried morphine and butane patches which made me sick. I take hydrocodone 10 mg 5 X day . Which only lasts 2 to 3 hrs. Grit my teeth the rest of the time (broken a few).  I  started Exalgo   12 mg  yesterday and I started feeling better in about 2 hrs.  This is a miracle, I don't hurt!  There were times I didn't think I could go on and now I have a new lease on life . I hope it continues to keep working ! Happy gal!"


"I have had Bipolar disorder since I was 14 and never knew what it was. about 4 years ago I asked my Doc for something to help with depression and he prescribed 10 MG of Lexapro. I couldn't believe how much it helped.  He bumped me up to 20mg a day (I'm 6ft , 250 lbs).When I went to a rehab where they prescribed a lot more meds wich eventually had very bad side effects so I was pulled off of it and switched to welabutrin.I think this drug works great alone but watch for other drug reactions."


"Works"


"Never though of reviewing a med, I do this just for Gabapentin being so great. I've tryed a lot before: Zoloft, Remeron, all types of benzos. I've kept a very bad opinion on them all, especially SSRi's - damn soul and sex killers. Benzos get addictive in the long run. But Gabapentin works like a charm, literally. Takes the edgyness of the days away, most inhibitions and anxiety, gives me the drive to do things and enjoy what i'm doing, I got faithful and... happy (after I almost forgot how it can be constantly felt). FInal note: if taken not too often (like once a week) it can be quite recreational in doses around 1200 mg. I usually take about 600-900 daily, but cut off some times to get the higher reward days later, as tolerance drops."


"I was skeptical at first but after taking this product for 60 days I have to say I'm amazed at the results! I've definitely seen a decrease in fat that was near impossible to get rid of and have become much more cut. I slept better, felt better, and just felt younger again. I'm 38 and was starting to feel "old." I'm definitely a fan! This stuff actually works. I feel stronger, have more energy and have started to lose weight. It takes about a couple of weeks to make a noticeable difference but you will notice it once you start to pay attention to what is going on. Great Products! admin is it okay to add other hgh pills in my body? i just bought a product  for my brother because he's 42 years old and I want to try it to my"


"Best acne topical acne treatmentI have came across in 20 years and I have tried many. Non drying. Which is hard to find. It doesn't make your skin peel or get red like many do. Too expensive. Doesn't come in a big enough tube especially if using on chest and back too could become very expensive. But it works."


"100 Mg Losartan at night time in conjunction with Diltiazem in the AM.

No issues and this does lower blood pressure and keeps it even.  Seems to be calming also and helps memory."


"I have taken Rebif; it has worked so well and I have had so few side effects that there's been no reason to try out the other disease modifiers. When on a consistent dosage schedule, I never experienced a relapse. The needle is really small. I rarely use my injector anymore - just stab and go. I take it at night to sleep through any effects. I was warned very seriously about the possible side effects, but the worst that I ever have is a slight fever the morning after an injection, and/or the beginnings of a headache that I nip in the bud with migraine medicine."


"This drug is OK for short term but long term after second car accident severe stomach pain.  I would take it and stomach would start making noise.  Horrible nausea follow,  researched and found it is cheapest muscle relaxers.  My opinion there is bad stuff in those things, currently taking Soma and no side effects even when taken for same time frame: taken longer too."


"I have used this for years off and on during flare ups of IC. Besides making my urine a 1970's throwback color of orange, over the past year or two AZO Standard has upset my stomach. Not enough of a problem to do without it, but enough to avoid food. It does work to rid me of the urgency and burning sensation.

."


"Ive had the implant for almost four months now 10/2/15 will be four months ive been bleeding since i got on this birth control other than the bleeding i havent gained weight   havent had any major break outs like most ppl my moods been lil off too more emotional then before but if u dont mind bleeding four months straight n being emotional some days id say try it ..haha better then having to remember pills n going for ur shot lol especially if u have kids n a job and so much going on u forget lol. Pretty happy i got it put in cause i dont need any more kids lol two is plunty :)"


"This drug has changed my life I went from smoking six years straight to none at all I'm 21 years old and quiting was very hard to do cold turkey but with chantex I was able to completely stop one week after I started want to thank chantex for changing my life"


"I've taken three plan B pills in my lifetime and after $150+ (!!!) spent on those pills I still got pregnant. Three times having intercourse, three pills, twins! Did not work for me at all. Miscarried one child before the 90 day marker. Too young to have even a single child but could not count on this product. Switching to alternative forms of birth control/prevention since this product did not work."


"I only took this 1 evening, it put me to sleep. This was one of the strongest medicines I've taken.  I was put on 50 mg. I felt horrible the next day, couldn't concentrate to read, felt more depressed, had to go back to bed in the morning and felt horrible the whole day.  Luckily my Doctor said I could quit it."


"It relieves my sneezes and nose itching just ten mins after using it,unlike most oral antihistamins its the only thing that has worked for my rhinitis !It has definetly improved my quality of life .Just have ur head tilted to your chin to avoid bitter taste"


"I suffer from harm-ocd (violent impulsive thoughts), and im taking Zoloft for almost 2 years now. Im currently 23 years old. Here is my review..

It helped me much but it didnt eliminate OCD. Though, it reduced anxiety and the frequency my mind produces impulsive thoughts with. In the past, i had pains in the back side of my head and Zoloft made them go away.

Nonetheless, I also had some side effects. If i take it late at night, it will cause me tension making it hard for me to sleep. Additionally, i feel like its much harder for me to climax during sex. I still can ofcourse, but i need to put the double effort."


"Awesomeness!"


"I had a stroke that likely was a series of mini-strokes. It left me with difficulty walking and with sensation on my right side. My cholesterol was 7.9 and in the hospital they got it down to 4.3. I was told it needs to be even lower because of my hypertension and difficulty with movement that makes it hard for me to exercise and move around. Lack of exercise and a low budget means I cannot afford fresh fruits and veggies most of the time so my diet is not as healthy as my doctor would like. One good thing though, I eat a salad a day sans dressing. Its not much but all I can afford. I am getting oatmeal next pay and little by little trying to change the way I eat but it is difficult. Crestor works but the side effects worry me."


"If you want to live life on a drug, this worked!  But beware for when you come off!  Best bet is to supplement naturally.  Your body is lacking something that you can get in a better-for-you form.

Withdrawal symptoms are terrible!"


"I've been on Contrave 3 weeks now. The first week I was so sleepy on the drive home, exhausted feeling. It's not as bad now, but I wake up not feeling completely rested.  I haven't lost much, and I do find the weigh in's everyday slightly discouraging. I haven't exercised much because I just haven't had the energy. Next week I'll try to incorporate that, and try to be even more strict on my diet.  Going to keep going...but as of right now, I'm not sure if it's helping or not."


"I started taking this for acne about 3 months ago and it works great for that. I'm 18 and I have a 32B almost 32C bra size and I've always hated it! this medicine made my boobs grow almost a whole cup size!!! Which made me completely miserable."


"Not so effective as it is when given with many combinations."


"I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg about a year ago after giving birth to my daughter very prematurely. I did notice that during the most difficult times, I was actually very calm and could make rational decisions. Why did I stop taking it? I have no idea. Recently, I've had horrible panic attacks that have landed me in the hospital, made me call out of work, and pretty much incapacitated me. I didn't want to go back on medication, but prayer, exercise, and talking just wasn't getting it. I finally went to my doctor and he put me back on Zoloft 50mg. Right now I'm just taking 50mg once a day, but next week I start taking them twice a day. I'm also on 0.5 mg Klonopin. Already, I have began to feel a little better. Hoping it continues."


"I have lost 60 pounds in 5 months and this is the best thing I have ever done for weight loss.  First thing i did was empty house of bad foods, then stopped carbonated drinks.  Drug is amazing in that I have to make myself eat some days.  A little concerned that 12 pound/month loss is not ho;going up this month.  Try this drug it may save your life."


"I have had the Kyleena in since early March 2017 and in the beginning was really regretting it because I felt like I was constantly bleeding and cramping. I passed a lot of clots and I was just always uncomfortable. Today being July 2017 I feel like I have put the bad things behind me and am enjoying not having to worry about birth control. No more cramping, no more clotting and best of all I haven't gotten a period. Stick with it ladies, it will be worth it. It is true what they say though, allow a solid 3-6 month for you body to get used to it. Good luck!"


"Soma is an excellent and efficient medication for muscle spasms.  The only issue I've ever seen or know about from other people is it's HIGHLY addictive especially to people who have addiction problems.  Unfortunately half of the addicts in the town I live in abuses them which punishes those of us who actually need it for legitimate medical problems."


"Works Like A Miracle! Quick Pain and Redness Relief!"


"Excellent... Very satisified."


"Love it."


"This medication was very effective for me, as it worked consistently to help me sleep and I never had to increase the dose from 15mg. HOWEVER, if I had to do it all over again, I never would have started on it. This is a benzodiazapine, and with that comes a lot of issues. I took this medication for only one month consistently, and had to deal with physical discomfort and heightened anxiety (what I take to be slight withdrawal symptoms) when I decided to stop using it. Now I'm back to square one, dealing with insomnia and going through the steps I would have had to take (finding non-medical ways to treat my insomnia) had I never started the medication. Heed the warnings and use drug free options to treat your sleeplessness."


"I was constipated for 10 day's - had tried everything - laxitive, enema, suppository  and colon cleanser but nothing worked. After using this in 4 hours I had some relief."


"I'm on day 3 and taking one pill a day, because 2 has been extreme side effects and I still have to work. It would have been nice to be warned about side effects. Day one there was nausea, day 2 was nausea, severe headache, dizziness, increased anxiety( already have it & got worse...yay), thick discharge, really swollen and painful throat glands, body aches(low back), fatigue and tingling in hands. Took me at least an hour to fall asleep last night, when it usually takes 15-30. Thankfully, I've got my medical marijuana prescription and that has helped A LOT. I have a copper IUD, hoping this isn't the cause of my BV, because I'm

31 and have never had it this bad before. Got the IUD about a year ago. Hope I never have to take this medication."


"For a year or two my daughter and I have been using the generic, non-drowsy, version of this medicine.  We use it to treat allergies, both seasonal and year-round.  It is not always one hundred percent effective for the worst attacks, but it is very often successful, and best of all, it does not cause drowsiness. This is very important to us. "


"Taken at night with a common yeast infection pill worked great!"


"On Nexium for 15 years"


"On this drug now and I feel awful! Was seriously considering going to ER. I have extreme nausea, tingling in my hands, dizziness, stomach pain, sore throat and my eyes are red and dry. I will never take this again for a UTI."


"My son five has ADHD and anxiety and still further diagnosing. He was on it for a month and half and he was so awesome on it. Dr did 40 mg a day and love how it works throughout whole day. Unfortantly insurance did not want to approve before age six and it cost over 370 dollars. I've gone through way too many medicines with him. Once he turns six you best to believe we are going right back to it!"


"I had this birth control in for about 6 months. Getting the birth control in doesn't hurt a bit, mine bruised pretty bad afterwards. I spotted for about 3 and a half weeks after I got nexplanon put in my arm and have not bled since! I did though have CRAZY mood swings and always felt really bad and said sorry after but that doesn't make it okay. I was so so irritable and annoyed at every single thing. I was so unmotivated when this was in my arm, I went to the gym 4 times in 6 months and I used to go everyday before. I was tired all the time and felt exhausted after 4 hours of work! Lastly, I was hungry, to the point of feeling sick, every 3 hours if I didn't eat! I didn't bleed after the first month, but it wasn't worth it for me!"


"SO....acid blockers pretty much changed my life. First was Pepcid (when it was prescription) than Zantac than the PPI's.  The PPi's were a bit better. I got Acephix then Nexium.  Before these wonder drugs came about I had CHRONIC gastro issues that eventually led to a week long stay at the hospital because of an ulcer. Anyway, been taking Nexium; works great. Prescription plan covered it than the patent runs out and they put it OTC. I get the generic & it's good but not as good. The OTC Nexium sucked! Now, Barock Insane O bOnghit stumbles in to the Whitehouse and screws up healthcare. Now generic Nexium is $175 because it's not covered under my prescription plan. Thanks, guys you really know ho to screw things up!"


"Within 24 hours of beginning the medication my urinary tract pain was noticeably better. I had lots of anxiousness & trouble sleeping though. This could be because I took the medication about 1 hour before dinner every night. Thanks for the helpful site."


"I take celexa 40 mg per day. I am taking it to help with PTSD, from when someone tried to kill me a few years ago. I also have extreme anxiety about small spaces, flying in an airplane and heights. I also have occasional panic attacks. Celexa has worked wonders for the constant anxiety and sadness I was feeling. Celexa has made me feel calm in situations where I would have previously panicked. I feel like my old self most days of the week. I would recommend this medication to anyone with anxiety about certain  situations and fears."


"Suicidal, depressed and anxious for 9 years, finally decided I could not handle it on my own anymore and decided to seek help. My doctor prescribed me Paxil and 20 minutes after I took it I no longer wanted to kill myself (this feeling was often, all day everyday almost).  It's now been 3 days and still going good. There are however side effects, loss of appetite (not good I'm too thin already), blurred vision (very difficult for an artist), insomnia, impossible to reach ejaculation, also have experienced some increased anxiety.

Despite these side affects im faced with a choice, accept the side effects or continue to live my life feeling sad and lonely."


"This medicine saved my life sugar is now under control after major surgery and a poorly functional pancrease"


"Love this birth control. I was on ocella before and had to switch due to the pharmacy not carrying Ocella. My  skin is clear with no crazy mood swings and  no weight gain. My period is still 5 days the first two days are horrible. The cramping is the same, but I don't get PMS .This birth control is great if you are battling acne and PMS. It's totally effective. I have only been on it 4 months and I love it."


"I have a bleeding,  crust that doesn't seem to go away. I tried this for the first time. Just a little amount on the end of my nostrils and on the inner side as well. I don't know is what you guys are saying about a burn or drip for sore throats. Maybe you are applying to much or inhaling through your nose to hard which would cause it to get way up in ur sinus or w/e and lead to your throat. Just hack a loggie to get it out or I dunno what to tell you. But it seems to work for me no problem."


"This medicine was prescribed to treat my insomnia.  While it did help me fall and stay asleep, it seemed to aggravate my Fibromyalgia symptoms.  It also left me with a drugged feeling until about noon everyday and caused constipation and dry mouth. "


"I have a mild stubborn case of acne, right when i took the first pill my skin cleared completley.

The syptoms i have gotten are welts on my arms from the dryness (if you experience that ask your derm. to perscribe you with some topical cream) moderate back pains, easy nose bleeds (if you tap my nose it will start bleeding), severe dry/cracked lips, dry eyes (just a feeling of 'tired eyes' all the time)

i highly reccomend taking this medication, but buy aquaphor for your dry lips it is by far the best chapstick ever!! you can find it at CVS, rite aid, any general store"


"Every spring and fall in Dallas everyone gets allergies.  This always turns into a sinus infection and bronchitis in a week or two and this medication takes care of it without any other complications."


"This medicine makes me have long periods. I used to be able to use another birth control pill with estrogen that was awesome but then had a brain injury and was placed on this. I used to have severe heavy bleeding due to fibroids. With this medicine I have periods for 2-3 weeks straight. I do not like it. It's not fun having a period for half the month. I think I'm going to stop taking it."


"LOVE DRYSOL

sweaty palms, feet and underarms are no fun for anyone at any time. Works like a charm after 2 or 3 times.

Just a word of caution, I bought the extra strength and its so strong It feels like I may have even burned my palms. They are SO dry now, and sting even two days later.

However, I'll take dry hands over sweaty ones. First time I can finally put lotion on my hands and not have them dripping in moisture! :D"


"Relieves symptoms and nose not as dry.  But can only be used for short periods due to label warnings. After that it may worsen symptoms."


"I have been on this medicine for 3 years for pain relief for many problems. I take 10mg 3 times a day and I would suggest nothing else. I have been on other narcotics that have done nothing for me and got me all jazzed. This medicine does nothing like that. Methadone keeps you level headed and does not have any side effects."


"Changed my life.  Night and day difference.  Only side effect... Sleepiness"


"Adderall makes me always want to smoke cigarettes to relax and not shake so much. I have a love hate for it I love it but I hate that I have to depend on it everyday to do my daily tasks."


"I started on this 2 months after asking my Dr to prescribe bcp. I had the pills but was too nervous to take them bc being of Caribbean descent I am not used to taking all kinds of chemical based medication I am so used to healthy diet and such but birth control is birth control I needed something. So I took Junel Fe and at first I thought it was great. I felt more calm than normal, more organized. More relaxed. that turned into outright fatigue and tiredness after the 3rd day on it I was sleeping all the time. Then 5 days into it I developed a terrible yeast infection type rash on my inner thighs. That was the final straw. It was disgusting. I had an itchy rash and couldn't stay awake. I stopped after a week and a half. Not for me."


"It really calms me down"


"I've been on Contrave (1 pill) 5 days and I have lost 5lb. The medication is definitely curbing my appetite and cravings which is helping me make better food choices. I do sense slight anxiety when I wake up in the morning. Since one pill is working so well for me, I am hesitant to increase my dose."


"Seroquel XR has changed my life. I feel I am present again in my world. Before taking this medication I had very little hope that I would ever feel enthusiastic about life. I recognize myself again. I can't say enough about how excited I am about living. I tried so many therapies and had given up hope anything would work. The combination of my antidepressant and Seroquel XR was the key for me."


"Likewise. As others here have posted, I had an L-4 / L-5 issue. It required a lumbarectomy in 1995. I also have no ability to control myself from over doing dosage with medicines that have mind altering effects.  My doctor knew this and prescribed skelaxin "as needed" and a daily stretching regimin. "As needed"  has been very controlable, even for me (with my weakness for over use). My pain is relieved and my mind stays clear."


"I was considered a light smoker, a pack every few days. I had regularily smoked for five years. I didn't think I would ever be able to quit. Chantix worked so well with blocking out the headaches, anxiety, loss of sleep, and all the moodiness that accompanies quitting. I took it for about two weeks total. I actually quit smoking around the 8th day. Pretty painless."


"The only good thing that came from Yaz was that it completely cleared up my mild acne, I mean flawless skin. However, I went from a 34 a to a 34 d in 3 months and gained 15 pounds that no matter how much I exercised I couldn't lose. Another negative it gave me chronic headaches and an upset stomach 24/7. Another plus was that I didn't get pregnant on this pill! Overall great pill for acne, bad for other side effects."


"I was on Prozac and it wasn't working anymore. I tried Pristiq and for the first couple of weeks I didn't feel "right". Then, I started feeling much better. I also take a prescribed supplement called Deplin because my body doesn't absorb folic acid- a source of my depression. I don't know if it's the Deplin, the Pristiq or both, but I don't get depressed anymore. I do get kind of "mean" when I drink coffee with it. My sex drive is loooooow and achieving orgasm is difficult. I also suffer from dry mouth at night. But, I'm here to rate the medication on how well it helped my depression and it helped so very much. It's expensive, even with insurance."


"This is the best medicine I have found for cough due to allergies or colds.  Clears up symptoms so they don't worsen or develop to the point that you end up going to Doctor."


"The first time I started using birth control I started on a different pill which I can't remember the name but stopped after the second month due to crazy mood swings and worse cramps during my period. When I went back to the doctor I got prescribed Sronyx and I have been using it for three months now and I have yet to experience a bad side effect. I love this pill! I highly recommend it . No headaches, cramps, or mood swings. "


"I have had trouble falling asleep for years. Prosom works well for me. My doctor wanted me to start alternating so I do not build up a tolerance so last night I tried 15mg of belsomra . In my opinion it is NOT for the people who cannot FALL asleep. I felt very tired(a natural tired, yawning like crazy) my body wanted to fall asleep but as usual my brain was not having it. After 1 1/2 hours of laying trying to    fall asleep, I took the one last xanex I had and fell asleep 20 minutes later. I did however sleep soundly and wanted to sleep longer when I woke to my alarm. I had no side effects but I do feel tired starting my work day but the tiredness is wearing off. This may be worth a try for people who cant stay asleep."


"I love Skyla. I'm so glad I got this IUD, the best birth control I've ever been on. Other than a little extra bleeding after insertion, I've had absolutely no pain or side effects of any kind. It's so low maintenance, you don't have to do a thing and you're protected. I will say that the insertion was uncomfortable but it was quick and the discomfort soon subsided. I've had it now for 6 months, I still get my period but it's only for a few days and it's extremely light. Call me paranoid but I like getting my period, it's reassuring to me. I've heard with Mirena, it stops but maybe Skyla is a little different since it's a lower dose of hormones. Either way, I can't say enough about how much I love Skyla."


"I have always been the type of person who sweats a lot. I'm very active so I never thought anything of it. However, I realized that I sweat the most when it is cold and I'm doing nothing but sitting at my desk in school! I tried the clinical strength deodorants and they helped a little bit. Finally I decided to talk to my doctor and they gave me this product. I'm only on my second day of use and I'm already amazed. The first night I experienced intense itching however, it was manageable. The next day I played in a tournament for 8 hours in 90 degree weather and my shirt wasn't even wet! This product is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone with an overactive sweat problem!"


"As expected"


"I've tried many medications to help my bipolar disorder and this one's worked the best."


"Difficult to use but works.  Constant indigestion (had same problem Byetta)."


"I have been prescribed Fiorinal for the past 20  years, and as many others have stated, it is indeed a miracle.  NOTHING else works as well (if at all) as Fiorinal.  It is unfortunate that so many physicians are reluctant to prescribe it, always citing their fear of addiction.  While there is most definitely a dependence that can result, it should not (in my opinion) be lumped into the abused substances category for those of us who use it according to our doctor's prescription."


"Excellent!"


"I have bipolar 2. Been on this medicine at 500 mgs 2x daily for 12  years. I have not experienced weight gain. I have experienced some hair loss (not enough to be that noticeable as my hair is short and thick. I have experienced hand tremors. My treatment regimen includes gabapentin 200mgs 2x daily, Wellbutrin 150mgs morning and Imovane 0.75mgs at night for sleep. Apart from 2 major crashes approx. 5 years apart from each other this treatment regimen has kept me sane. I do still struggle with bouts of depression and anxiety but am able to cope. Up until past year I have been able to work full time and go to school part time. My treatment plan works for the most part. Tried other Meds but keep coming back to this."


"I am on 100mg of gabapentin. When I read on the drug info that it may cause drowsiness I took it before bedtime. Well, it was four hours before I could fall asleep! So I skipped a day and started taking it in the morning, much better! It has topped my tingling in my toes and fingers as well as the aching in my legs.  I do notice it comes back late afternoon so I will have to start to take a second pull then also. This medication has my stamp of approval so far "


"Helped with my mood really well.
But I had severe tremor which I had to endure for a month before it could be stopped. The tremor did not ease at all, it even made my feet shake when they were off the floor and my jaw. If you can put up with tremor it definitely helps with lifting your mood!"


"I loved Lexapro, I had been on it for approximately 5 years.  It worked wonders, made me feel close to "normal".  Recently in the past 6 months I had gone through some life altering events and had noticed my depression was coming back more and more. I finally broke down and told my Doctor (I thought the problem would correct itself) So, he changed me to Pristq. I had a slight yawn while on Lexapro and some sexual side effects but they were less than any other medication I had ever taken.  So when Lexapro works it works GREAT!  When it's run it's course, time to move on."


"I have been a terrible underarm sweater for years.. To the point where I thought about getting Botox injections under my arms. I went to doc and she prescribed this stuff... No joke after I nights use I don't think I have had one drop of sweat under my arms for 2 days, miracle in a bottle!!! Use it!!!"


"It took me a couple times, but after taking Chantix for a week, I am now over 5 years without nicotine.  I would take 1/2 pill at night before bed, it worked!!!"


"I have been dealing with Fibromyalgia for many years and my doctor was so excited when Lyrica came out, like it was going to be the cure or something; but it did not help my FMS at all.  Not to mention, I had horrific fluid retention!  I couldn't wear normal shoes, my hands so swollen I couldn't get my wedding ring on.  The swelling lasted for a while even after I discontinued the medication."


"Took Apri for 2 months, did NOT bleed for about 11 days the first month, and 8 the 2nd month. Am switching to yet another birth control."


"First week using solodyn and my acne is worse than ever. I had a lot on my cheeks, chin, and left side of my back but now its also on my forehead and my shoulders. I've woken up with 2-3 new pimples everyday for the past week since I started taking it. I really hope this is normal and it gets better soon cause this sucks :("


"I was on Loestrin 24 FE for about 7 months between 2011 and 2012. My doctor perscribed it as I have excessive cramping that makes me miss work due to such painful cramps I throw up. I was in the hospital once because I could not stop throwing up and needed an IV as I was so dehydrated. I also could not keep pain medication down so cramps would not go away. I started taking this medication. I noticed my period getting less and less painful and heavy every month. Some months I would not get a period! My doctor said this was normal. Why did I stop taking it? I have no clue. I must have been deranged at the time. I am starting this medication again and WILL NOT quit until I am ready for a baby. It's not birth control, it's CRAMP CONTROL!"


"All opiates make me sick so I have to take promethazine with them.  Also the only thing that stopped my morning sickness."


"Hi I took Januvia for 1 year and 1/2 it was helping me regulate my Diabetes. But I started to have a abnormal pain in my abdomen and didn't know why never though that it was caused because of this medication. one day I had the pain so bad that I couldn't walk or stand, I went to the Hospital got admitted right away because I had Pancreatitis. I got Metformin for my diabetes, for the pain I had a lot of IV's. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days in the 3rd day the doctor told me that the cause of my Pancreatitis was the medication I was taking JANUVIA. I know this works for a lot of people to help them control the sugar like  it did for me, but please make sure that you tell your doctor make the necessary test every time you go to see if you are ok internally."


"I was  prescribed clonidine for my blood pressure.  I was also prescribed 10 mg Norco for a female issues.  I became addicted to Norco for almost 5 years when I said enough is enough.  I had read about Clonidine  being with opiate withdrawal so I gave it a shot and boy I have had zero withdrawl symptoms and like before where I always ended up using again I'm on day three I slept good I'm up having coffee which I haven't done in a long time I can't even remember. It made me drowsy the first few days. I was able to lower the dose and haven't taken a dose in the last 12 hours and I feel fine.  If you have the opportunity please use clonidine I swear it works."


"I started taking the generic venlafaxine XR about one month ago for anxiety attacks and feelings of being overwhelmed. It started working within a few days. I have had a positive experience, although my sex drive is depleted and I'm having much more difficulty reaching orgasm (I'm female) I am now waking 3-4 times a night and although I can go right back to sleep feel tired every morning. I already take 1mg Klonopin at night and 350mg of Soma as I have degenerative neck disease. I am still waking up. I hope my doctor can give me some pointers on sleeping through the night, but other than that (oh and increased sweating at night!) I do feel great. We'll see how the sweating goes and the sleep disturbance."


"I love it! No major side effects. No more worrying about condoms or taking a birth control pill.

I didn't gain weight. I workout 5-6 times weekly and eat healthy. Plus Implanon doesn't make you gain weight. It makes you have a bigger appetite. So if you can control the urge to eat when you want. You wont gain weight."


"Not happy. After 5 injections of 300mg, only 20% cleared. Still with Redness and thickness. Itching reduced somewhat."


"Since taking Lexapro for my anxiety I have not had any heart palpitations."


"THIS SHAMPOO IS A MIRACLE! My entire life I have dealt with extreme itching and dandruff with red bumps on my scalp. The first time I used it I was healed. No itching at all. I recommend to anyone with these symptoms."


"I've only had Implanon for a short period of time but I've had none of the side effects some of these girls are having. No acne and it actually helped me lose weight. I was afraid after all these reviews I would gain but it helped me get off of my plateau! "


"I have been on Implanon for 6 months and it was a wonderful experience. From the time of insertion, I've only had two periods. I don't get periods anymore and there's only slight discharge more often. I've had slight weight gain and a little acne problems. I have had pain at the site of insertion or my lower abdomen but nothing serious. I would recommend this for anyone looking to use birth control, I personally love the Implanon."


"Got switched to this after being on Aptiom (which made me crazy). I'm having less seizures, but it's like my brain is shrinking. My memory has gotten worse, which is saying something. I can't think of the simplest words sometimes, like I'm losing part of my vocabulary. I haven't had any emotional issues. I feel back to myself in that respect, but like every other medicine it will work for a while then I will slowly start having more frequent seizures. This is lasting longer than my others, but it feels like it's not just keeping my neurons from over-firing. It feels like my brain is shutting down slowly. Idk what to do about it."


"I started taking Valtrex 2 days after the rash appeared, it slowed down the spread of the rash and reduced the pain. 3 days later I was feeling better but the rash took about 10 days to disappear andIi continued feeling mild pain for another week or so."


"Recommended by my Doctor, very helpful for inducing restful sleep."


"Degenerative disc disease, 3 surgeries, 12 shots and a fusion.  Life is horrible without this."


"This is my second  post. I took the once weekly shot for 12 weeks. At week 9 I started having diarrhea. The "get to the bathroom fast" kind. Also had sulfur burps. I did not take the 13th shot when it was due 4 days ago, per Drs order, to see of diarrhea would stop. It hasn't. How long does this stay in your system? I wish I had never started this medication."


"I'm 16 years old. I'm a boy who suffers moderate acne. I have blemishes of previous acne. The down side is that I'm really white. I've been on retin a since september 1st. I'm on week 5 or 6 but my face is getting better. Acne decreasing much more. I still have the red blemishes and marks on my cheeks but I'm excited to see the result people say they see in 3-6 months. I'm prescribed clindamycin phosphate and antibiotic pills with cetaphil wash. I use retin a at night and then moisterize 30minutes after then apply clinda. when I go to sleep. So stick to this cream the white heads and stuff will suck but my acne bumps/marks are slowly disappearing even though they are still visible. Can't wait till I can clear up an feel happy"


"I had had champix a few years ago with no side affects & I still had trouble in quitting smoking by the time the course had finished. This time I had champix by day 3, I was smoking less than half of what I would normally do but was having serious side effects. I had a few serious panic attacks (which lasted 4 hours each), was depressed, suicidal, hypersensitive, irritable & was ready to kill someone (anyone ). I also had dizzy spells & felt very cold. Obviously upon presentation to my doctor, I was advised to cease continuation on this medication. I have no history of mental illness, do not take drugs or drink alcohol. However, champix does not agree with me this time so I will try another way to quit. Please be careful, good luck to you!"


"This was absolutely pathetic. My doctor informed the dermatologist that I needed a fast-acting medicine because she picked up on how my very severe acne affects my self esteem. As a result, he prescribed this, and I've been taking it alongside birth control with his instruction and oh my lord its made everything the worst its ever been. Cysts are coming out all over my face, and I've given the medicine more than enough time to take the junk out and start clearing my skin. Biggest mistake ever: DO NOT TAKE.

I'm a teenager and I've been dealing with acne for 5 years now, and its been severe for 3 years and good lord do not take this it makes life so much more miserable. DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF."


"Significantly helped lower my blood pressure and get me through withdrawal from prescribed narcotic medicine following surgery... It was only $4 for a month's supply without insurance. A complete lifesaver."


"I have taken Soma for 2 months now. It does not have the side effects that Zanaflex has. I can sleep with this medicine. I would recommend this without reservation."


"I have been sweating since I was about 12. I am 16 now and I went to the doctor 3 days ago. She prescribed me Hypercare and so far this product has changed my life!  After my first night, my sweating was significantly decreased though still present, but each day after I use it, it works better and better. Today I thought for sure I was sweating. I felt like I was and it was 90 outside and nope: not a drop of sweat. Even on a clingy colored shirt.  I wish I had tried this years ago. I have wasted half my high school experience wearing only black jackets and never raising my hand. I can't wait to start school in the fall now being worry free. It burns and itches BAD but its worth it."


"I had suffered from extreme anxiety and depression for a few years and countless prescribed anti-depressants prior to trying Effexor. I suffered anxiety so bad that it was hard to do daily tasks such as driving and going to the grocery store. I went through countless jobs because a panic attack would strike at work and I would have to rush out of the situation and never return because the fear of it happening again would haunt me. The very first day being on Effexor, I felt like a different person. For the first time in years, I wanted to venture out into the world and be around people. After a week of being on 75 mg, I landed a job and now, two years later I am still symptom free and off the medicines. I give this medicine a big 10!"


"Well, the good thing is... I am not pregnant. Most of the side effects I was warned about were so uncommon, I was told not to worry. However, I think when that little green guy was implanted into my arm, it was also a one way ticket to the world's largest Emotionally Unstable Rollercoaster.

*spoilet alert: it's not fun to ride.

Before Nexplanon, I pretty much coasted the happy wave. Life is good and God is better. No dark clouds for miles, and my sunshine was so bright, it disintegrated anyone else's dark and twistyness. But I stuck artificial hormones in my arm, and now sunny days are far and few in between. ESPECIALLY when I am on my period (which is about as predictable as my mood).

In short... you probs won't get pregnant. And. Yeah..."


"This pill has stopped my migraines after I have been getting them since I was about 2 years old. It has cleared up my face and just helped in general. I used to have very bad mood swings, but even that has changed a lot. I feel like a better person."


"Condition improved very quickly."


"Was recently diagnosed ADHD 32/F.  prior to this I was always told I was depressed and had gen anxiety disorder. Was put on numerous drugs (all failed) Zoloft being the latest for anxiety and it helped (150mg). Recently was put on 30mg of vyvanse (had to stop until I was pulled off Zoloft, they didn't mix well). Today's my first day on vyvanse (last night was my last dose of Zoloft) so I feel anxious and shaky. I know this will subside. For years I've always felt so exhausted because I wake up a lot at night. Today I cleaned my car, kitchen and showered all before 9am. I'm likening vyvanse so far lol. I will post at months end to give another review since I'm still in the grey from switching meds."


"Everything in my life caused gut-wrenching sadness and I felt disconnected from the world at 18, as I suffered from depression and social anxiety. I was prescribed this medication after my depression gradually got worse. Initially (for the first 2 weeks) my symptoms worsened drastically. Then, one day it was like someone flipped a switch, and I felt good again, like I hadn't in years. I felt like I could be myself. My grades went up, I got into a great private university, and I dated like crazy. I also was less hostile and I could solve problems and assert myself more. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am for this medication, it changed my life. Just give it time to work I am a male btw, and I was on a pretty moderated dose."


"I love the Nuvaring. Since I've been on it, I've been emotionally normal (at least I think so) and my doctor put me on an extended regimen so that I only have my period every 9 weeks. It definitely makes those periods tolerable. Yay for Nuvaring."


"I took Lexapro for 3 months at 10mg to treat bipolar disorder type I. I noticed a slight change in my mood, but not significant. I discontinued this medication due to nausea and trouble achieving orgasm."


"Had the copper coil for 10 years with no probs just my periods slightly heavier. Convinced by doctor to have mirena as it was so great ( even though I had no probs with the copper and no probs with heavy periods) I was sold. Anyways all was fine for the first week then exactly 1 week later ( and nothing else in my life changed) I started to get manic, anxious and felt like I was running away from danger all the time. I wanted to cry as I felt so out of control and powerless. My blood pressure went up and I have a leaky heart valve and this is not good. So cross I was fooled. My hormones do affect my mood. Some women like it I hate it with a passion!"


"Very tired, but works !!!"


"This has been a life changing pill for me. Unlike others I did not feel that it kept me up at night. I took one at 11pm and feel right asleep after. It was one of the greatest sleeps I had ever had. This has been a real game changer to my cough and congestion."


"I started with Ortho Tri Cyclen, and only switched because of breakthrough bleeding. I am currently on Day 40. The first two weeks I noticed nausea, listlessness, and mild depression, but thought nothing of it because I was starting a new dose of hormones. No breakouts, weight gain or bleeding. Week one in the second pack, the nausea was back and accompanied by headaches. I noticed myself starting to get depressed again, and my anxiety was constant all day. I went through a spell and cried for two and a half days in a row. I then knew it was definitely hormone related because nothing was even wrong. This almost cost me my relationship."


"Started contrave 2/4/16  I felt dizzy, tired,headaches, I can't concentrate,  I'm hoping it goes away because I spent  200 $ insurance didn't cover it I'm 44 weight 209 5 ft I need it to work to be healthier. ......."


"When I was 9 my grades dropped and remained at a c-b average compared to my usual a. It became harder to socialise and eventually I started skipping school 3-4 days out of the week. I had anxiety problems and was on the verge of depression. At the age of 12 my Mom in a last ditch effort put me on Concerta, which did not magically fix anything but within the next 2 years I was attending school regularly and my grades got better.(from an Asian family, grades are everything) I have to say I'm much better but I took a 8 month break and returned to a 36 dosage which makes me sick all day, headaches and problems sleeping. I can barely eat a half a meal without having to force it down."


"I've been using Microgestin 1.5/30 for a few months and it's worked really well for me.  I've had terribly heavy, painful periods for 20 years - heavy enough that despite using Ultra tampons with maxi pads, I'd have to run to a bathroom every 2-3 hours.  On one occasion, I ended up in the ER because I was going through super plus tampons every 20 minutes for over 3 hours. I was a little nervous to try the Microgestin but my side effects have been minimal.  A little bit of spotting, a little moodiness, a little acne, but I've lost a few pounds and the bleeding is finally under control for the first time in over 20 years. I'm thrilled."


"I thought since I had such a horrible experience I would write a review. So I did give it a 2 out of ten just because I didn't get pregnant an entire year on this medicine, so it is technically effective and also is convenient. But the side effects were just not worth it. I literally turned into a crazy person.  No libido. I was so unbelievably depressed for months and it came on slowly so I didn't really notice how bad it was until I hit rock bottom. I would cry for hours about nothing. I almost broke up with my boyfriend of 6 years because I was so depressed and I didn't understand why I was so unhappy. Bad experience for me. Not worth it, in my opinion but everyone is different !"


"After being on Cialis for 3 months but still losing my erection during sex I started topping up with viagra as well. Even this didn't work so my problem was clearly not physical. I completely switched tactics and focused on my anxiety even though I thought I was not anxious. I started taking 5mg seroxat daily with 5mg Cialis. After only 2 days I was fixed. No loss of erection. My wife was so pleased. Had sex several times since without a problem and my wife likes my fuller size.  Dosage is 5mg Cialis and 5mg seroxat. Will stop taking the seroxat at 4 weeks and see what happens even though 5mg is a very low dosage for this drug."
