"I'm 19 years old 4'11, small-framed, and I weigh 85 pounds. I didn't notice a great change in weight when I stopped it for one whole summer when I was 11. I just gained 4 more pounds. Nonetheless, I'm not underweight, bulimic, or anorexic. I've always been thin and petite.
I'm on 60mg of Vyvanse for ADHD currently, but I've been prescribed it for awhile.
What can I say about this medicine? It's great! Yes, it suppresses the appetite a little, and sometimes I have to force myself to eat.
This medication doesn't alter my personality oddly like Adderall. I'm still me, just more focused. My only complaint is that it mostly wears off in the evening when I need focus. I'm a singer too, so dry mouth is a side-effect that I could do without."


"Used it my whole pregnancy!"


"Wellbutrin was without a doubt the most effect antidepressant I've ever taken. Unfortunately, a month and a half into treatment on 150mg XL/day I started getting cystic acne. It was terrible and I knew it had to be the Wellbutrin so I looked online and noticed other people complaining about getting Acne as well. It was terrible, it only made my depression worse because I had this big cystic lumps on my face. A month after tapering off and taking antibiotics prescribed by my dermatologist it finally went away but I went back to being depressed."


"I feel more energetic and can focus more the first 2 weeks of injection."


"I've been on every seizure medication invented. Keppera or genetic Levatiraacetam is by far the worst one I've been on. The side effects have ruined my life. I gained over 45 pounds the first year on it. I am now almost 70 pounds heavier than I was before I started taking the medication. I can't work anymore because I have severe depression, anxiety & insomnia. I tell people off for the craziest things & am super paranoid all the time. Despite the that I take antidepressants, anxiety & sleeping meds. I used to be a terrific nurse, winning awards & receiving all kinds of gratitude. Now I can no longer do anything. I am terrified to leave the house, take a shower, clean or go anywhere. I have no life, I just exist. Can't wait to get off this!"


"I had my para guard inserted in 2008 in which has been removed in 2013. I have pains during intercourse, cramps, heavier periods. Even today, 2015, I still have pains. I feel like it has ruined my sex life."


"Horrible! I took it before I went to be around 10 p.m. Bad cramps all night, even worse in the morning. Had diarrhea all day! I will never take this again."


"Benicar has been a "wonder" drug for me. It is the only BP medication that my body will tolerate. I have been on this drug for 10 years. Not only has it stabilized my BP (the original reason it was prescribed for me) but I have ceased having migraine headaches. I haven't even had any regular headaches since I began taking Benicar."


"I thought I was the only person who felt like a shot of tequila on fire. Even thought my cookie feels like a fireplace it actually works but this is my first and LAST time using it. Back to my old treatment I go."


"I was on the 20 mg of Copaxone for more than 10 years and took a break for about a year.  Felt that I was stable, I felt great, and MRIs were showing no new progression. Recently starting trying to get back on it using the 40 mg for the last three weeks and am getting rashes, hives, headaches and in general feeling worn out and "MS-ey." Just not sure whether to be on it or not at this point."


"Fantastic, I started on Friday, March 1, 2013 I have been working at loosing weight for years, I don't have high blood pressure, or diabetes, but my triglycerides are through the roof and I have rheumatoid arthritis and my joints are deteriorating and I am so tired of the pain and carrying around the weight, I am not a big eater, but when I eat it is sweets I crave and I am a heavy coke drinker.  Anyway that being said, on Friday I started and not at the starter dose, full strength, no issues for me, I can't stand the taste of coke any longer or sweets and I have no appetite.  I have energy and have even started walking again.  I haven't gotten on the scale but with the energy already this could be the miracle I needed."


"I've been on the gel for 3 days... First diagnosed with a UTI with no growth. Finished Cipro and still had symptoms. Second round- pelvic exam & swab... Still had bacteria & yeast so was prescribed metro gel. No side effects - but hasn't helped my issue. Waiting for 2nd culture to come back to see if still UTI and wasn't sensitive to the Cipro and need something new. Pains from hell"


"My OB suggested a Skyla for me after Mononessa threw me into some depression and fatigue around August 2016 (exactly a year, now). Had no issues up until the last couple months of having it.

Sure, the painful acne started up quickly: My face has been a mess of grease no matter how many times I washed it, what soap I used, etc. I was willing to put up with the skin issues if that if it meant I was covered.

But the last couple of periods have lasted nearly two weeks, have had more cramps, the acne is getting much worse and starting to show up on more of my body! I'm not going to pay $50 for skincare meds either. So, I'm not going to look on the bright side anymore and get it removed this week if I can."


"I was taking Celexa for 2 years for my depression. It was not working well enough for me. I managed to just live life day by day, and roll with the punches. I suffer extreme anxiety disorder and extreme panic attacks up to 8 times a day. Several caused me to call 911 thinking I was having a heart attack. With all this said, my GP and I talked about changing my medication. I had heard of Effexor, I researched it, and thought why not! I felt that life WOULD NOT get any better then what I was living at that moment. 2 weeks after Effexor and some major hot flashes, I was looking at things different. I actually feel really good and hopeful. Now my smile is not fake and the anxiety has subsided to a minimal. No panic attacks. I am happy!"

"Great medicine. Helped me revert to normal rhythm without noticeable side effects. It's a big pill to swallow but it can be sprinkled on food/applesauce if necessary."


"Diagnosed with Adenomyosis at 30 due to heavy out of control periods with extremely large clots. Fourth month on Natazia and it's reduced my periods to only 2-3 days of a light flow. Light enough where panty liners suffice. It's brought my life back to normal."


"Best medication for social anxiety disorder with somatisation. I take 100mg of Zoloft, less side effects than other antidepressants."


"Love Seroquel. Changed my life. "


"I was diagnosed with ADD when I was seven, I think. I had behavior issues in my second grade class and I drove my teacher nuts with my constant distractions and my lack of focus. Little things like small talk and excessive noises triggered my symptoms and I was put on Ritalin LA when I was eight. Ritalin was awful for me. I didn't sleep very well at all. I had periods of insomnia and when I would sleep it was very prolonged in hours of sleep I was getting. Finally, after a couple of years suffering with this Ritalin I talked with my doctor about trying a new medicine called Focalin XR when I was 13 and I am almost 18 now. Focalin XR has been really wonderful for me. My focus is better. It does cause diarrhea, and mood swings."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I am a 32 year old male and this is my second day on Nuvigil. Although I feel more alert at the start of the day, later in the day when the medicine wears off, oh boy does it wear off. I'm also feeling more hyper, moody, and an overall wanting to scream type feeling. I'm going to give it a few more days."


"This is a miracle medicine. I had a horrible cough for weeks, I started the medicine last night. It took about 30 minutes to reduce & calm my coughing fits. The one thing I do NOT like is the ability it has to impair your thinking/judgment "loopy" feeling I get, then the  excessiveness drowsiness. Other than that, I love how it works for me!"


"Unexpectedly found this page, and read other responses to see others experience with Nucynta. I have been on various doses ranging from 600mg per day (all 100's) to currently taking two 100 extended release tablets per day. My experience has lasted six years now.
From the very start I loved it because it was effective for my neuropathy. The big bonus was that after a while, say month or two, I was completely confident in my ability to concentrate and do my very detailed work. Now that said, while on the max dose of 600mg I would definitely feel the effects every time I dropped a 100mg. This was the beginning.
As the dose went down, the ability to concentrate got better and better. my biggest problem was finding a drug store that kept in stock."


"Just took my 8th injection of .75 Trulicity today.  It has been amazing.  I always had trouble with my sugars and would get horrible welts from Levemir.  Doctor switched me from Levemir to Tresiba (62 units each morning) and the difference has been amazing.  I have GERD so all I can report is that it definitely has not been worse.  My sugars used to run around 230 to 323 most of the time.  Now they are from about 65 to 130.  If I'm under 80, I don't take any short-acting, which is Novolog for me.  I've lost about 7 pounds and my cravings are a thing of the past.  I am on SSDI and with prior-authorization from my endocrinologist, Medicare has authorized payment.  If it ever doesn't, Trulicity and I will part ways."


"Was prescribed this at around 16-17 yrs old, for social and generalized anxiety. It did work well, but the excessive sweating and my father's anti-med nagging made me try and quit. I had only been taking it for like 5 months and I felt like I'd been addicted for years. Brain zaps, constant lethargy, extreme and unwarranted moods; these symptoms lasted an entire month, despite my short usage time.

I'm upset that this was the first thing they tried, on a 17 yr old complaining about social anxiety and the occasional panic attack... That month was the worst I've ever felt, if I wasn't a teen without responsibilities or took it for longer, I don't think I could've ever gotten off of it. Read withdrawal stories before starting Paxil."


"I suffer bouts of depression and have been prescribed Prozac. This medication does stop the weepiness and severe irritability that I suffer, however it made me feel "nothing" rather than good.  Additionally, the side effects that I suffer on Prozac are not worth the marginal lack of hopeless feelings. I felt nauseous, hollow, scattered and my libido completely vanished.  This led to marital stress, so I went off of it on my own.  I think it is the wrong chemical for my type of brain chemistry or depression."


"I'm a 27 yr old female with ADD, generalized anxiety (including morbid thoughts, OCD behaviors, hypochondria and depression). Effexor has basically fixed me. I used to be irritable, negative, overwhelmed and chronically fatigued to a disabling capacity and now I'm evened out and confident, positive, patient and kinder. My head feels clearer than it ever has. The only issue is that this medication causes some sweating and raises my blood pressure so I've had to have that stabilized with blood pressure medication."


"Dopamine and norepinephrine are two major brain chemicals in the feelings of romantic love.
Serotonin (key in SSRIs) actually suppresses dopamine and inhibits feelings.
This dopamine and norepinephrine (a stimulant) reuptake inhibitor can help and and DRIVE without sexual side effects, weight gain, and apathy caused by SSRIs.
Often prescribed with an SSRI to counteract side effects of it.
Also it is reported to have few side effects (unless you suffer from a seizure disorder that is).
I recommend this over an SSRI or in addition to one."


"This medication is amazing!   I've battled depression & anxiety all my adult life (30 years).  I used alcohol periodically to self medicate and could & would stop in the past.  I was drinking a 5th of vodka nightly for over a year & was unable to stop due to withdrawals. I reached a point where I knew I needed help.  My liver enzymes were consistently elevated, I was extremely overweight, & the depression & anxiety had grown so severe that I felt suicidal.  After a 3 week tapering off using Librium, I was still craving alcohol.   But after the 1st day of taking Campral, I have yet to crave alcohol.  Its been 2 weeks...l've walked every day and lost 12 lbs. Campral combined w/counseling and support; feeling healthier and hopeful than ever!"


"So I totally agree with some of the comments below. I've been on Seasonique  since grade 9 (in my second year of college as of sept 2015). I'm not gonna say why but I will say that it was definitely great in the beginning. Periods became regular, I had my period for about 5 days which I find healthy in my opinion  since I don't get it for 3 months and has cleared up my face from acne and pimples. As of this year, I have noticed that the pill isn't working as it should. During the last week or 2 before the yellow pills or "period pills" I get constant on and off spotting. Then during the week of my period pills, I don't get my period until the last few days.Usually wed to fri if following the actual week. Been taking it for 5 yrs now  "


"Worst pill ever. This pill has caused me to be extremely moody. My boobs have gone from a 34B to a 36C and I'm tired all the time. I get headaches alot. Would not recommend getting on this pill to anyone"


"Flagyl leaves a bad taste in my mouth after a couple of days, makes my urine smell bad, and causes nausea (so get some anti nausea meds along with it).  That being said - it does the job very well.  Noticeable improvement within 1--3 days."


"I tried xyzal for the first time and it bottomed out my blood pressure and made me weak and almost fainting. I can't take it at all.  anyone else who had the same reaction?"


"I just stared Belsomra 10mg last week. I have completed 4 nights of it and so far with no luck.
The first night I took it at 9:37pm, and at 12:20 am I was still wide awake. The other nights have been similar experiences.
For $90 a month, brand drug, I would think it would work much better than this.
I took 2 Advil PM last night because I was so tired and it worked 100% better than Belsomra.
I also have had night sweats with Belsomra, and once I fall asleep, I still wake at some point in the night, sometimes multiple times.

I would NOT have your Dr write this drug for you. It does not work, and it's too expensive just to see if it works."


"Wonderful medicine for me, absolutely could not walk because of the pain in my back, 4 pills and 3 days later, was walking again. I take 2 pills at first, then 1 per day and do not need anymore until I do something like lifting something too heavy or pushing a car. Keep your script handy, but no need to take it everyday."


"It helped me feel better, lose a bit of weight and stop smoking
much better for me than SSRIs"


"I'm pretty sensitive to antibiotics and this one really makes me feel sick and tired and now I have an itchy rash.  Have finished day 2 still 5 days of this to go."


"Modafinil has been a miracle for me. I suffered with chronic fatigue syndrome for 20 or so years, usually accompanied by severe depression. My  doctor called one day and said his two other Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients has had remarkable success with this medicine and he wanted me to try it. Prior to trying it, my depression had lifted, but the fatigue always remained. Within a very short time, the fatigue lifted and NEVER returned. I experienced not a single side effect, and I have developed no tolerance problems with it. As a result, I have been using it successfully now for 13 years! My depression comes and goes, and most medications have proved useless over time, but the fatigue.... it's gone!"


"I'm 23 y/o, never been pregnant/given birth. Had Paragard for 3 years and I'm so done with it. What's the point of being on birth control if I can't even have sex because I'm bleeding all the time? I can rarely have sex with my boyfriend of 4.5 years—sometimes when I think I'm done bleeding, we start having sex and then I start to bleed and it ruins the mood, so we stop. Before IUD, my periods lasted 5 days, now they last 7 days + I have HEAVY spotting almost the entire month. I've also experienced EXTREMELY painful cramps throughout 3 years (& I have a high pain tolerance) & the cramps did NOT "just last a couple weeks after getting it inserted"—it happened for years. On the bright side, it requires no maintenance & I never got pregnant."


"I love the Mirena so far! The reviews I read before getting it scared me but, I had basically no pain during insertion (I did have a baby 9 weeks prior though) just a little poke and it was through.  I was literally in and out of the doctor's office.  I had slight cramping after but nothing bad at all.  I took 2 Motrin about 30 minutes prior to the appointment.  After I was home with my baby and running around with my 2 year old.  I have absolutely nothing bad to say so far! Miracle device."


"Dr put me on Armor Thyroid after taking me off  Levothyroxine and Armor has done absolutely nothing in the way of making me feel better. I was taken off Levothyroxine because I felt as though I had bugs crawling on me so Dr took me off if it thinking I my be having a reaction to the medication. Since then, talking to my personal trainer who recommended that I see a his Dr  who specializes in thyroid & hormones. I visited new Dr today they drew 5 vials of blood which they will test all levels of my thyroid, hormone level as well as any and all complete blood work including cholesterol.  I'm awaiting an appt next week for results. Levothyroxine gave me great energy but lots of itching.  Armor is out for me....no results in feeling better."


"My doctor prescribed me this medication for Generalized Anxiety Disorder as it was crippling and ruining my life. I was reluctant to try it because I've heard so many horror stories about the side effects but I figured I'd give it a shot. First week or so was a little rough. Lots of nausea and brain fog but I was determined to give it at least a month. Once my body adjusted my symptoms slowly started to disappear. Today I feel like a different person. I feel free from my obsessive worries and panic that had plagued me all my life. This truly is a wonder drug if you're lucky enough that it works for you!"


"Botox Bladder Beware........  I agree with that person who wished they had not let Botox anywhere near them.  I had the Botox bladder procedure 8 (yes, eight) weeks ago, and I haven't peed yet (on my own).  Four semi-permanet catheters the first 6 weeks and then self catheters since.  Now I don't dare go out more than 3 hours after I cath.......  or I'll be stranded.  No hike or other lengthy activities, etc......   picture cathing behind a tree?????  Another problem is that I'm getting very little info from my doctor.....   maybe she's never done this before.  PS---  for males it's very expensive; generally they need to put you out, and requires a surgey room.  Very bad decision.  Males..... don't do it; carry a bottle, & look for rtrms."


"When I was 14 I was put on 450mg/day before bed time and within 6 months I gained 25-30 pounds. It worked super well to get rid of my hallucinations (including the tactile ones) but it made me extremely zombie-like. My grades slipped at school, and I slept as soon as I got home till the next morning. The first day I slept 22 hours. This medicine made me so hungry all the time and no matter how much I ate I was never full."


"My friend and I, both 18, got Mirena as birth control. She loves hers. The insertion was painful, but manageable- the side effects are what's really bad. Before, my period was short, light, and I have NEVER cramped. Since getting my IUD, I have consistantly bled heavily. Daily, I have crippling cramps to where I can no longer continue to drive or walk. I often wake up moaning in pain and crying. I got an ultrasound yesterday and everything looked fine. I'm not saying not to get Mirena, but I strongly recommend considering other options or being okay with dealing with the side effects. This has been a terrible experience for me, and a great experience for my friend so you can never really be sure how it will be for you."


"I first got this for a colonoscopy approx 6 months ago and the procedure had to be stopped as I was aware of everything and I kicked and screamed and was very upset. I tried again a few days ago same procedure was supposed to be heavily sedated was administer 5mg midazolam 50mcg Fentanyl 20mg of Hyoscine yet was still lucid and I stopped the procedure it was upsetting and traumatic.
The drug does not work for me for the procedure Doctor said that he thinks I will never be able to have this procedure done under sedation. I will never have this again"


"I have Open Angle Glaucoma in both eyes.  Alphagan P brought my pressure down in a short length of time.   The pressure has stayed at accceptable levels for the past twelve years.
I have not had any side affects."


"I have been on antibiotic off and on for he last couple of months, definitely not my first yeast infection. I've never used Monistat before so I figured I would ty it since it's Saturday and I can't go to the doctor til Monday. Used the cream right before bed and didn't last two minutes, literally couldn't take it, the burning and itching and pain. Miserable, it took me over a hour to remove the cream and I'm still uncomfortable! I will never buy this again, I'll just be uncomfortable til Monday. I don't suggest anyone purchasing this product, especially if they have a history of sensitive skin or anything. I'm not sure why they would continue a product that everyone is having the same result"


"I haven't been diagnosed with bipolar, but my psychiatrist put me on this over a year ago for a mood disorder. She built me up to 200 mgs and about a year ago moved me to 150 mgs in the morning and another 150 mgs at night. It's not a miracle pill and I still feel down sometimes and happy at others, but overall I don't get super down like I used to. In conjunction with the other psychiatric medicine I am on, it helps to keep me stable and helps me deal with a very serious disease that I came down with about 3 years ago that has completely turned my world upside down."


"First shot went great. I didn't really get any side-effects. I didn't have any bleeding whatsoever nor any weight gain. I was hungry often, but actually lost a couple of pounds. I did fell anxious the first few days, but that went away. Haven't decided if I want to get the second shot yet, but overall I did well on it."


"I went through half a tube of this garbage and it didn't work at all... and I got to be sticky as well... so that was fun."


"Hurt my stomach initially but that has gone away. Feel better than ever."


"The Klonopin helped my anxiety very much, probably to a level of 8 or 9 out of ten.  However, after a few years, trying to taper off of it is proving to be a living nightmare and I am experiencing Benzo Withdrawal Syndrome.  It's absolutely awful and I can see why some people are never able to stop taking it,"


"I have been suffering from adult acne for over a year and finally plucked up the courage to see the dermatologist for the first time in my life and boy, am I glad I did!  I have been using Epiduo paired with an oral antibiotic (Solodyn) for about 1 1/2 months and my skin already looks better.  I did have the redness on my first application (like a sunburn) and there was a good amount of dryness around my mouth for the first few weeks, but if you stop applying to those dry areas, it gets better. I also experienced some burning - but only in the dry areas. I didn't really have an initial breakout, just a few little pimples that were NOTHING like the huge cysts that I had been so used to getting.  Another pro - my skin is SO SOFT now."


"This medication saved my life! After 6 yrs of major oxy addiction, I went into detox scared to death! I was sedated for three days, then transferred to Subs! Man what a difference, I felt like a new man. Started a 12mg a day and gradually tapered off over a 4 month period! I had a Dr in Seattle, that put me on Clonidine after, a high blood pressure med! This takes away almost all withdrawl symptoms! 5 months off everything, and I have my life back!! If it wasnt for the Dr. and these meds, I'd be in a box by now! God Bless!"


"Did nothing for me. Just gained alot of weight!"


"My daughter used this product for her acne after we asked the doctor for it. She, after many other meds,  was finally motivated to use a product that may take time for results. It cleared her face within two werks. I guess different meds work for different people. She did not have the inflamed acne. More the closed comedone kind. (Only know how to describe it that way. Tons of tiny white bumps under the skin)."


"I got the Implanon at an early age of 17, in December of 2008. I had zero side effects and zero periods. It was awesome. Towards the end of the four years, however, I started having severe breakouts that my dermatologist attributed to the birth control as it was ending its cycle. After it was removed I started a simpler form of birth control (a pill) and I hated it. I just had another Implanon inserted last week."


"I love this stuff.  Ended my reflux and perpetual sore throat.  I was thankful for how quickly it worked.  Now to the packaging!  These pills are nearly inaccessible in the packaging they come in. I use a scissor to open the pockets where the pills are incased and then store the pills in a small bottle."


"I'm 23 years old with no kids and got my Skyla on May 17, 2016. I actually ended up passing out during insertion, but other than that I really haven't had many problems. I have a lot more cramping than I'm used to, but I hadn't ever really had bad cramps before so I guess I'm just paying my dues now. I've had one period and some spotting. Honestly the insertion wasn't that bad and it was pretty quick. I pass out really easily so don't take that too seriously. I was able to drive 5 hours right after to go visit friends without any issues. Honestly, if you're looking for birth control and you're thinking about Skyla, I say do it! I've loved it so far!"


"I started my first dose 4 days ago at the o.6 dose. This morning I took 1.2. I am having quite a bit of nausea and  a very "full" feeling in my stomach as well as have had a headache since several hours after the first dose. On the positive side, my sugar levels have dropped dramatically and I barely have an appetite at all. Went out to eat with the family, fixed my usual "first" plate and wasn't able to even finish it. Normally I would of gone for a second plate too. I am really hoping the side effects of nausea and headaches does subside because I am feeling a bit sick. Most food right now.. just the smells make me feel sick to my stomach. The headaches are the worst part though. Hoping I see quite a bit of weight loss at appointment."


"I used to get them for restless leg sydrom.....Worked very well....Moved and new doctor wont give them out"


"I am on day 5 of taking Contrave. I usually think about food all day and everything in between is a major inconvenience. Day 5 of this medication I almost am forgetting to eat, I have more energy, my mind is quieter, I feel overall more peaceful than normal. I've lost 3 pounds already! I get full about half way through a small meal which is a big deal for me because usually my appetite is insatiable. I haven't had any of the side effects people have mentioned except that my eyes feel a little weird, which makes me feel a little dizzy, but it's barely noticeable. I have had some mild headaches but I think that's because I usually drink a lot of coffee and I haven't craved it as much so I havent had as much."


"My son is 10 years old. I suspected he had ADD when he was 6 and the teacher kept telling me he was spacing out in school, but he is also so smart I decided maybe the work was just too easy and he was bored. In 4th I couldn't take the complaints (almost daily)and had him tested and he was diagnosed with ADD and given Concerta. I can only tell you that his math teacher sent me home a note on the day he started medication to ask where I got my new son from, she could not believe it. She said he even went in during his lunch break to catch up on some work. He lost his appetite for the first week or so, but regained it and hasn't had trouble sleeping at all. He is happier, his teachers are happier and I am HAPPIER! Thank You CONCERTA."


"I've been taking it for a week after a long period of heavy drinking. I've tried other drugs to stop cravings but with little success. The Antabuse gives me no choice but to not drink. The hard part is taking it but once I did I felt a sense of relief knowing I wasn't going to drink that day. It's not easy but it does work or at least give you a break to get your thinking straight."


"I've had it for a year and no babies yet! No periods, no cramping and no getting cranky. However I'm starting to get my period normally again getting it checked out soon."


"I had terrible obsessive compulsive disorder for about 6 years. I remember that I spent all my night on going and coming to toilet for peeing. After I went to the university I was shocked by the bad way of teaching and bad instructors and suddenly the OCD became worse and worse and the hell was eating in my brain. I spent all my wake up time thinking and thinking about silly things and I suffered from terrible pain in my neck, my brain, and my stomach. I went to 7 doctors and tried many medications before I found Zoloft. I tried Anafranil, Solotic, Faverin, Xanax, Atarax, Seroxat, fluoxetine and finally I went to a very good doctor who put me on Zoloft 200mg with risperidone 2mg. That works as a wizard for me after 6 years of the hell of OCD."


"This product did work but I'll NEVER use it again. I put it in and went to bed. I woke up about two hours later and my vagina was burning/itching like nothing is ever experienced. It felt like my v was on fire. Seriously!  It was horrible. I tried to clean it all out About one and a half hours later the burning and itching went away. Yes, the product worked but I burned/itched SO bad that I'll never use it again. Just call the Dr. And get a prescription. You'll thank me later."


"Hello ladies, well currently I am waiting the results of plan B since I had an incident this past SUN 9/10. so me and my bf always use condoms but this past Sunday alcohol was involved so we went ahead and had unprotected sex, he pulled out the first time but  there's the matter of precum so of course this was the stupidest decision we both could've made, and I was expected to ovulate 3 days later. So the next morning. I went ahead and bought plan B  and took it exactly at 9am (13-15 hours after). So here I am worried to the point of having a panic attack but I'm hopeful cause it's worked for me before! I'll be posting an update in 2 weeks when I take a pregnancy test. Good luck!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Serious allergy developed."


"For two years I was using Benicar.  It was working fine until I started to get allergic reaction to it.  I tried other high blood pressure medicines after that.  They did not control my high blood pressure symptoms very well.  Finally my doctor let me try Azor.  I would be stressed but the blood pressure would be normal.  Azor has been keeping my blood pressure reading normal like 110/70 for the past two years.  Unfortunately I'm trying to get pregnant and now trying a different high blood pressure medicine, and the new medicine is not working so well as Azor."


"I've had the IUD for 9 months and seen no improvement over time. It's an effective form of non-hormonal  birth control, however it's not without side effects! Prior to the ParaGard, I had no cramps and light periods (~4 days). With the IUD, it lasts 10-14 days long. I'm comfortable for 1 week out of every month, then the cramps start about a week before my period. My period starts with spotting and rather gross looking discharge. That lasts about 5 days, then the full period starts. It's more blood loss than I ever imagined. I bleed ~2 oz of blood within 4 hours on  day one. That's more blood in 4 hours than most woman lose during the entire week of their period. My solutions have been iron supplements, the Diva Cup and Thinx panties."


"Had horrible cystic chin acne for 14 years and finally decided to take Accutane in my late twenties when everything else on the market failed. Completed 5 months of treatment about 1 month ago and my skin is like it belongs to someone else. Not only do I not have breakouts, but my pores are smaller and there is no swelling. I did have some joint pain and chapped lips, but very small price to pAy for such dramatic results. I wish I took it earlier in life."


"I am shocked by all the negative reviews on here. maybe I am less sensitive then most I'm not sure. I just recently had my first yeast infection and bought this right away as recommended by my co workers. I inserted the ovule and left it in over night and used the itch relief cream to relieve the normal systems from the YI. By the next morning the burning and swelling were completely gone, I applied the cream once more the next day and by the next night all symptoms were completely gone. I would highly recommend this product from my experience!"


"Wellbutrin XL has so far been a miracle pill for me. I was always in a deep cloud of depression and my mind was always so "foggy" I could never focus or think properly and I was always too depressed to even get off the couch and do a load of laundry. I started on 150mg for a few weeks then moved up to 300mg.

Now I am loving life again, things that had no appeal before are amazing again. I've also lost a ton of weight while taking this, probably because I'm more active. I also have had some slight constipation (not bad at all only slight at times) not to mention an increased sex drive. It seems I can be in the mood 5 times a day. The wife can't handle all that extra me time. "


"I had Diprivan for a colonoscopy.  I was out instantly and the procedure was completely painless.  I woke up very quickly afterwards and felt great.  I would recommend Diprivan for colonoscopy!"


"For the first 3 months it worked but after the 4th and 5th month that had passed it had given horrible side effects such as very bad acne ( I never use to break out) and weight gain of 12 lbs within a month ( I use to be in a healthy weight.) The only pro for this pill is no cramps and lighter period. I am contacting my gyno as soon as possible to get off this horrible pill."


"My daughter is 8 years old now. She has suffered from bed wetting for the past 2 years. We have tried everything under the sun to help with the problem. She was so embarrassed when she would go to sleep-overs and had to wear a "pull-up". I felt awful for her. I took her to the doctor and he referred her to a urologist soon after. Her urologist put her on DDAVP almost 3 weeks ago.  She takes 0.2 DDAVP every night about an hour before she goes to bed.  We have been dry every since, except the first night of taking the DDAVP. I believe this medicine is a God send. My daughter is so happy, she is no longer embarrassed about wetting. We went yesterday for a follow up with the Doctor, and everything is going great."


"My M.D. & Cardiologist put me on Lisinopril 20MG for a year now. Got a slight reduction in BP but experienced extreme tiredness, hair loss, trouble sleeping, lower left stomach pain & later coughing producing phlegm. I didn't realize it was this drug as I was on others but after researching it, I stopped & now just take a baby aspirin. I quit as many drugs as possible & now researched supplements which seem to be getting results way beyond the Big Pharma drugs. I am really mad at Big Pharma & the way they programs our doctors!"


"Oh my lord this stuff burns like hell. This is my first treatment I'm hoping by reading all these it actually does work. I felt relef for the first half hour then it came on really freaking itchy!!"


"Had 2 infusions in 2 years--no improvement."


"It works for cystic hormonal acne. Took two months but IT WORKS!"


"I had the side effects listed. The doctor said it was serum sickness. However the medicine did not keep the platelets up for long. My last comment is the medicine is quite costly. "


"I really like this birth control. I first got on it when I was experiencing terribly painful cramps that made me throw up. Once I started taking the pill, everything was instantly better. No cramps at all, skin looked great, mood was fine. I was perfectly happy. However, when I was off the pill for a month, the painful cramps came back and I was vomiting. This is the best birth control I've had. I recommend it for everyone."


"Alesse was the first birth control that my doctor had put me on. I had no side effects and was confused due to all of the complaints I had heard about taking birth control in general from my peers. I began to wonder if there was anything better than Alesse and that is my biggest regret. I took Lolo as well as Tricera Lo and both of those helped me realize what side effects and tolls some birth control pills can have on women. I was breaking out in cystic acne, my breasts hurt, I had gained weight, my appetite was immense, etc. I went back on Alesse and low and behold, my skin is at its best, I have ZERO side effects and most importantly, it prevents me from getting pregnant."


"This birth control has positive and negative side effects. It does its job in not getting you pregnant. Personally I have not experienced major anxiety or depression. My mood has stayed the same. This medication does however make you more prone to being nauseous. I randomly will throw up and start to feel weak. Other than that it's great. If you get neuseous easily I would recommend taking it at night!!!"


"I have been on Tramadol for 8 years and it changed my life. I have chronic pain associated with spurs and deviated disks in my neck and upper back after two serious car accidents.  I used to self medicate with alcohol but once prescribed this medication I no longer drank. I am able to work full-time too. It's a true blessing. I went off of this medication two times when I got pregnant on my own cold turkey with not much a noticeable difference withdrawal wise. ok, hope this helps. I'm so thankful for this medicine."


"I've taken dulcolax on two occasions.

First time was last year in cyprus, i was suffering bad constipation for days i'd taken senokot and nothing was helping. I went to the pharmacy and the lady recommended dulcolax. I took 3 tablets on her recommendedation. Within an hour and a half i was on the toilet. No awful cramps just great bowel movement and i felt fantastic afterwards.

I haven't needed dulcolax again until tonight. I've been suffering from constipation again this week. I took two tablets at around 7pm. Because of the constipation I haven't been able to eat properly yesterday and today. Around 7.45 i could feel slight cramps and the urge to use the toilet which i just have. Feeling much better now but i have a slight headache."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was optimistic when I started.  It tastes horrible but you can get it in.. The first dose a way.  Within 10 minutes the cleanse had begun and for that piece wasn't bad.  What made it hard was the intense nausea that has lasted the past 4 hours and emerging headache.  If this nausea doesn't ease I won't be able to hold down the second dose come morning."


"Effective. Got Pfizer discount coupon (no longer available), which made it affordable at 15-25 Dollars a month. Will ask the doctor for an affordable alternative, though I would have liked to continue with it."


"It has changed my life and my marriage. Thank you."


"First time using this prep and it does work much better than others. It is the most disgusting, fowl tasting thing I've ever had. If I have to use it again I may try some of the tips I've seen here like the lemons.  After getting 1st dose down it took about 45 mins to start.  The second dose was the hardest to get down.  I guess because I knew how bad it was going to be.  Almost didn't keep it down.  Drinking this and the 32 oz of water in an hour makes you bloated for sure.  I did get a headache but that may have come from being dehydrated which I was by the time I got to my appointment."


"I started Qsymia in mid-December at 309 pounds and have lost a total of 30 pounds so far. I am now on the 7.5 mg dosage and it's working great!  Personally, I've never experienced any of the side effects that some have, other than maybe a slight headache the first day or two when first starting the medication, and again when upping the dose.  It's been a life-changer for me!  On Qsymia, I can eat normally.  I no longer have the cravings in between meals and especially for sweets.  I can actually pass up cake and donuts!  It's true that you'll no longer like the taste of soda - diet or regular.  I drink only water now, with an occasional tea.  I count my calories and eat normal meals.  I just stop eating now when I'm full."


"I have never been on any type of anti-depressant medication before and my rheumatologist recommended this drug because she thinks I have fibromyalgia. I having been taking this medication for approximately 40 days. I was okay in the beginning using the starter pack, but by the 3rd week, I had terrible heat flashes, quasi-headaches all day long, nausea and I constantly felt (still feel) that I have a urinary tract infection.  My doctor cut my dosage from 50mg 2xs a day to 25mg 2xs a day. I still have horrible heat flashes, nausea, and feelings of the UTI. It did help mentally in the beginning, but the side effects far outweigh the benefits. I'm weening off and will try Pristiq."


"It helped me and my dad. I smoked for 28 years, my dad smoked for 40  years. I still get the craving to light one up but have not ...I haven't smoked for about 6 months. My wife and kids are happy I stopped smoking. I don't smell like an ashtray and I am happy about that."


"I have always used amoxicillin it for my frequent urinary tract infection's. It works in 4 or 5 days, although I take it for a 10 day run. I take two 250mg caps twice a day. I have never had any problems. Works great, if your aren't allergic to any of the penicillin type drugs."


"I'm 16 years old and I hav been on several anxiety/depression medications including prozac, zoloft, lexapro, propranolol, klonpin,etc I take 40mg once a day and this is the first medication that actually works for me. All of the other ones made me suicidal or more depressed. I can defintely tell when I miss a dose of viibryd I get sad and very emotional. I've been taking viibryd for about 8 months. I have gained 15 pounds but I don't know if that is because of the medicine or not. It really bothers me though. i have less of an appetite and sleep way too much, sometimes 4 naps a day. I fall asleep during school I'm super emotional I easily get annoyed, sad, angry. I cry alot . I have no idea if any of these are side effects of the meds or not"


"This pill was alright at first but not really what I wanted. As a birth control it worked fine but I was mostly using it to regulate my period and help control my acne. After 4 months of breakthrough bleeding and horrendous cystic acne  I decided to switch brands. Before starting this pill I used to get a cyst or two a month. After starting this pill, I could only start to clear my skin up on placebo week and even then it was hardly enought time to get rid of the massive cystic breakout. My friend was also on this pill but didn't have the same cystic situation. My word of advice is if your prone to cystic acne don't take this pill. The only think I liked about this pill was no mood changes, less pms, larger breasts and minimal weight gain."


"It worked great at first but over time its effects diminished. The only thing it really does now is make me tired, I guess I've been on it too long. I would still recommend it for short term use."


"Estring is great. I have previously tried Premarin and Estrace cream and Vagifem tablets without success. Estring is not messy and you don't even have to think about it. It provides the necessary hormones to relieve the other symptoms without other issues."


"I went from being a positive, upbeat, never cry type person. I'm stopping it today because I have been having suicidal thoughts, huge bouts of rage, self harming behavior, anxiety, extreme irritability and horrible feelings of being worthless. I have NEVER felt like that before until I took this for  8 months . DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG"


"42 years old and did not know I had Low Testosterone until about two years ago.  I just thought my tired and hum drum attitude was attributed to my "flip flop" shift work. Had my blood checked and found my levels were in the 100-150 levels. Started Fortesta and after several Doctor's visits and screenings to get the dosage right I was doing great. It is a shame that the discount program was discontinued in September of this year due to the generic coming out. My price went from 25 dollars to 100 dollars a month. With my insurance generic is the same as brand name now."


"I think everyone is different with their experiences with this product...with that said I love it! I have had it for about 2 months now and I have only experienced one period that lasted 2 weeks. I never thought it would end but it did and I haven't had one since. I like not having to take a pill because I am the busy and forgetful type. I still do have a scar where they inserted it but it's discrete. No weight gain and no noticed change in skin and I love that."


"I actually thought this worked better than Adderall instant release, when comparing dosage amounts. For example, 10mg dextroamphetamine worked just as well for me as 15-20mg Adderall."


"As a National board certified Respiratory therapist and Asthma Educator and having been diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma, I have been using a variety of medications to control my symptoms however, nothing worked for many years. My last prescribed medications were Daliresp* and Symbacort. I have been on them for several years to no control of symptoms. I read about Breo* and asked my Dr. to let me try a sample. After just one week, I finally had relief. After using Breo* for over 4 months now, I can say that this medication is a real miracle to me. I teach COPD and Asthma education to my patients and highly suggest for them to talk with their Dr. about Breo* As of the 4 month mark, I haven't even needed my rescue inhalers once."


"I just started Lyrica four days ago 50 mg twice a day. The first time I took it it helped me within an hour. I have suffered on and off for years and a few months ago I was bed/couch ridden and found it impossible to even leave my house. My family has told me I am a completely different person since starting it. I feel alive again. I also used to take Xanax for years for social and general anxiety and I have found that it is helping with that also. Only side effect was feeling high the first two doses but now I just feel like a normal person, which is what I have always wished for. I hope it continues to work and gets better as I up my dose. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from fibromyalgia. Good luck to all."


"Worked great and am able to continue as normal now !"


"I was prescribed this medication to deal with having break outs monthly on my chin from hormones. I've been taking this for only a week. Let me tell you first that my body is very responsive to anything I put in it. I usually have one, MAX two bumps per month on my chin, in one week I literally have FIVE knot pimples on my chin. Not a big deal to you, but I'm 28 and have been super consistent with my breakouts, I have them down to a science. I'll be discontinuing this medication as of today. Sad because I truly had high hopes for future super clear skin, I'm glad it showed itself early."


"I was prescribed this pill to ease the symptoms of advanced endometriosis. At 42, this is my first time on a birth control pill. The first 8 weeks were difficult, with nearly daily nausea and mood swings (never had those before). A size 2 all my life, I gained 9 lbs in the first 3 weeks of taking the pill. In my third month now, the side effects seem to have stabilized although I still get an occasional breakout, nausea and spotting. The weight gain seems to have slowed down yet I am now about 10 lbs heavier than before starting the pill. I no longer get the excruciating pain I used to experience for at least 2 weeks of every month, so I am planning on continuing taking it."


"Sometimes causes a small bruise (pencil point size) to as large as 1 inch by 4 inches (twice). Must add, very infrequently bruised, as I've learned to be careful at the injection site. Been using 40mg Edex for about 6 years. Like it better than Caverject (5 years) for ease of injection and preparation. Twice had gotten bent needles, but called Edex, and the medication was replaced free through my provider. Sometimes use a "ring" with the medication. Gave a 9 instead of 10 because of bruising."


"my boyfriend went in me twice and I immediately took this pill about 15 minutes after sex. Only side effect is me being sleepy. I usually get my period a day after my mom and I didn't I started to panic and buy pregnancy tests. I was soooo stressed! I came on here and read every review.  I swore I was pregnant. so a week after taking the pill I got my period . It was a couple days late though. Don't get yourself worked up. It works. Stressing will cause period delay. no need to panic :)"


"I have many different problems. I broke my lower back, my pelvis in twelve different places, my pubic bone and many other things. Also have a titanium rod my left femur. All due to a wreck I was in 2012. I have been through multiple surgeries. SI joint injection (which made my pain 10 times worse). Many different medications. Nothing has worked. But belbuca has made an amazing difference in my pain. I also get nerve block shots and just recently had my nerves in my back cauterized. This along with belbuca has made me feel alive again. Yes I still have daily pain. Yes I still wake up popping cracking and groaning from pain. But I take my medication and my pain level goes from a 9/10 to 4/5 pretty fast. Couldn't be happier!!"


"My rosacea is only noticeable/active during the winter and after hot showers. I was mostly being vain when asking for this, and truly learned my lesson. I used Mirvaso twice (pea- sized amounts) and while it made getting ready in the morning easier for those two days because it worked almost instantly, on the third day my face was a PLUM. I had dark purple-ish welts/bumps all over my cheeks. Later, my entire face was red, swollen, burning, itching for 2 WEEKS. Absolutely nothing worked to make the burning redness stop (benadryl, soothing creams, naturual remedies). I never in my life experienced anything this terrible. It's been a while but I feel like I still have an uneven complexion in comparison to before."


"Three months in and I'm an anxious, angry, depressed, lunatic with high blood pressure I can feel raging through my body and causing the sensation of heart palpitations daily.  Doctors should make greater effort telling women about possible side effects as those of us with a similar experience in the past take longer than necessary to connect that it is the pill causing all these horrible feelings and experiences. This thing can ruin lives and families before women realize it isn't them but the pill."


"Bloating swelling"


"I started taking Paxil about 2 months ago and it have saved my life. However the first two weeks of taking it was hell. When you first start taking it, your serotonin dips slightly because the drug is trying to adjust to your system. I suffer from a panic disorder and my anxiety was so bad that i had several extreme panic attacks where I have had to call up an ambulance. This happened 3 or 4 times during these weeks and one happened whilst I was driving on the dual carriageway. However these weeks are worth it, i can't even remember how to have a panic attack and my self confidence is as high as it's ever been."


"I began taking Contrave nine months ago.  I started out at 350 lbs and am now down to 232 lbs.  I seem to have hit a plateau at about 230 lbs.  I am an older guy and Contrave does seem to cause me to be constipated more often.  I am completely satisfied with the product and it has helped me immensely."


"I've taken Yaz for 3 and a half years, but when I first started it was a nightmare! I felt sick all the time with no appetite and the first period I had on Yaz was even worse! I was way more moody than I was off the pill and would just start crying for no reason. It got better and my periods were lighter, but like most after that 3 year mark I started feeling anxious and depressed. I'm getting switched off of it now because of it. It's great for short term."


"Been on effexor xr for approximately 12 years! I regret taking it. Am on 225mg per day, doctor wants me to taper down to 150 per day! It's a damn nightmare I'm on day 2 of being on 150 mg and the withdrawal symptoms are horrible. I feel dizzy nauseous feels like my head is hot feel very tense, very moody, and  short fuse. I could go on."


"Worked great after a condom mishap at the wrong time of the month for it to happen!! I took it within 7 hours of the incident. I had no side effects and my period arrived pretty much on schedule!!"


"I have suffered greatly from RLS for over 20  years.  Tried everything and always experienced augmentation.  Horizant (although pricey) has been a true life saver.  I encourage every suffer of RLS to give this drug a try.  It has changed my life"


"Works great."


"This has been a horror since I took this drug - which did nothing for the situation it was prescribed for. I became unable to walk, or grip anything, and basically became an invalid. I was writhing in severe pain every night from the small amount of shuffling I had to do to keep the shreds of my life going. I got no help from my doctor, who denied the entire thing (worried about a lawsuit probably). The medical/pharmaceutical industry keeps us in the dark - the side effects listed officially are rubbish. I also had complete fog brain, as if my mind had been replaced with gelatin, really terrifying. I also had, in the first year, random speeding heart, like I was going to have a heart attack. 4 yrs later I am still bad. DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG unless you have a life threatening infection"


"Please listen to me when I say that "never start this medication"!!!!! I was reluctant to try this only because a friend of mine talked to me about the withdraws. I (at the time) didn't have any plans on coming off of it so I thought....what the hay. I was going through a difficult time in my life and needed something to help my anxiety and depression that came from hurting those around me from my anxiety. This medication changed me. I didn't see it at the time. It made me completely numb to everything around me. Yes I could cry but did I really "feel" hurt? It caused me to leave a very amazing job that I was only at for 6 months...kinda one of those lifetime opportunities that I could kick myself for screwing up. Awful medication!!!!!!!"


"Been using it for years. I trust it so much!"


"Worked on the symptoms for the most part, felt a lot calmer but sometimes almost brain dead which made University work very difficult. Put me to sleep like a baby though, only problem was, like respiridone, getting up in the morning was extremely hard even if I took it at like 8pm.

Side effects were unbearable. I gained over a stone (and I'm only 5 ft 2) in the space of 3-4 months when only on 25mg (bi-daily) despite watching what I ate! I always felt like I was sweaty even in the winter and after climbing 2 flights of stairs and I kept feeling my heart skip a beat.

Also worth mentioning, alcohol is a no go, I could only have 1 or 2 drinks before feeling completely out of it.

Bottom line: Works but not worth it in my opinion!"


"I was on about one 60mg a day of Oxycodone for about 2 years.  Tried going cold turkey about 1 month ago and it was horrible. Had to get back on at least one 40mg of Oxycodone per day. I was given 5 8mg Suboxone pills and after about 12 hours after the last Oxycodone dosage, I started withdrawing so I took the first Suboxone pill entirely.  Amazing how the withdrawal went away after a few minutes.  Since then I've taken half a pill a day.  I'm on the third day so I have 2 and a half Suboxone pills, but I doubt I will take them all.  I will stop taking them now and only take more if, and only if, I get any withdrawal symptoms.  This is amazing, life-saving stuff."


"Hi ladies! So I got my paragard IUD inserted this past January. I am 21, with no children, and I have never been on birth control before this. I was diagnosed with manic depression back in 2010, and although I am no longer taking prescription meds, I will always be manic, moody, and very temperamental. Because of this, the idea of a birth control with hormones really scared me! I knew it would affect my emotional and mental health in a severe way where everyone around me would suffer lol. Paragard is hormone-free which is what initially caught my attention. It's been almost 8 months and I'm loving my IUD. Minor cramps during menstration, whereas before I never experienced cramping. My period is also slightly heavier, but it's manageable!"


"i was on this med for 4 years it does work but the weight gain is bad i gained 125 pounds in 4 years the doc never said anything i went in and told him to switch meds the new med is really expensive but i lost 40 lb in 6 months do not take cheap generic drugs."


"This medication worked so well for my bipolar, no side effects except for dizziness when I forgot to take a dose.  Had to stop taking it because I no longer have insurance and couldn't afford $600 per month for one medication.  Wish I could afford to go back on it."


"This product was awesome. I went from 192 lbs in September of 2005 to 138lbs in January of 2006 without any form of exercise.  I was working 2 jobs and it gave me more energy than anything else I've ever tried. Some days I would have to force myself to eat something because I just wasn't hungry.

Then, they took the stuff of the market (in Canada at least).  Neither I nor my doctor can get it anywhere.  I didn't have ANY side effects other than losing ugly fat.

Bring this stuff back!  I know plenty of people who tried this and ALL loved it with great results.  Since being off Ionamin, I'm back at 174 lbs.  There is nothing on the market like Ionamin. Please bring it back."


"This medicine has saved my life. I have been an opiate user for the past 10 years. I can't believe the change it has made for me. I go to work everyday and am on time. My husband has started to trust me again, and my children have their mommy back. With this medicine and some meetings I plan to continue to live happily and drug free."


"I was put on this to lower my chances of getting more kidney stones. I've been on this a few days now & wanted to share my experiences early on. At first I felt no difference but the second day I started feeling extreme dry mouth, headache, lower leg cramping & some frequency of urination, although I drink a lot of water 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon a day but from what I've read here these are normal side effects as my body adjusts to the medication. I'm going to keep on this until I see the doctor for a recheck in a couple of weeks & hopefully these side effects will subside.I'm mainly staying on it too out of fear of a returning kidney stone."


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


"I have had Nexplanon since May of 2014 it is now August of 2014 and I have been bleeding every since. I have gained 20 pounds since then and I also have acne now. I'm getting this thing taken out as soon as possible. I wish this was the birth control method for me but it's not. I like the idea of not having to take a pill every single day but after this, I'm willing a and ready to go back to the pill. Good luck if you decide to take this method."


"Lamictal worked at 25mg seems like every 6 weeks it's time to up dosage, currently at 250 and raise to 275 in week. Is there anything out there I can take with lamictal, I don't want to gain weight. Anti depressant is a med I take also"


"Xanax (ALPRAZOLAM) is the only medicine I can take that will stop Panic Attacks, quickly. Some panic attacks require 2mgs tabs or 2- 1mg tabs. My Panic can start with or without any triggers. Anxiety attacks are different from panic. Panic screws up your whole day, anxiety attacks are more like stress."


"What a success Pristiq was after being on Effexor which took away my sex drive completely.  Now I have my sex drive back.

And I take a large dose of Trazodone to treat fribromyalgia which causes a severe sugar addiction.  I mean most of my calories were from sugar, until the Pristiq which eliminated the addiction.  Now I just enjoy sugar, but not the super addiction.

And the Pristiq has treated my depression which was terrible after going onto Savella (after the Effexor). "


"My biggest problem was ease of use.  The patch did not stick well to my cheek. It would often almost immediately start to roll in on the edges, sometimes ending up as a small cylinder and other times ending up completely stuck to my teeth. The rate of absorption was thus very different from dose to dose. I wasted quite a few Patches because I would often have to re apply. For me, this dosage form was not easy to use and not consistent.."


"They do not work. Days later I am way worse then I was. They do nothing to the cough. This drug is a joke. Do not take!"


"I was not a fan of this pill. It was supposed to be three months noncyclic and I still had a period every month, longer than normal. And I would bleed in between.

It also made me gain 13 pounds in 6 weeks - while I was counting calories and working out. It was impossible to lost weight on it.

It made me super emotional. I was constantly weepy and depressed many days.

I don't want to take this one ever again."


"My right foot has been extremely painful for the last 10 years. I realized there were days when I limped quite a bit. Friends started telling me, even on days when I thought I was walking normally, "I didn't know you were limping". I blame my foot pain on playing racquetball for 20 years. Finally had to quit.  Recently I had a cold which is now just clearing up. I began taking 400 mg of Guaifenesin yesterday. I took one during the day and one at bedtime. This morning I stopped at the grocery. When I got out of the car I immediately noticed that the pain in my foot was gone. I remember saying to myself, as I walked into the grocery store, "what is this with my foot? It feels like it did over 10 years ago." I was able to run on it. Amazing!"


"This birth control made me extremely emotional! I'm 32 and my life was fine before I got on this pill only 2 months ago. I started flashing out on my boyfriend and have even gained about 5 pounds. I'm finishing the pack and moving on to something else. Meds are not supposed to decrease quality of life."


"Probably best to do a small patch test before you use this product.  Also, different Capsaicin preparations are more potent than others.

I have bursitus in my shoulder and it is very painful particularly when I sleep wrong on my shoulder.

Capsaicin is the only relief I get.   Now able to sleep through the night, yes, it burns, that's the point, it exhausts the pain receptors in the area.   Best product but you have to expect to burn, that's what it does, that's how it works."


"I was given Butrans 10 after gallbladder surgery, and ended up with adhesions, I started the patches 1 every 7 days and was shocked the next morning after applying it the day before, I had been getting up in the night to take Norco 10 and also 3 to 4 Norcos during the day, the first 3 months the 10 mg worked great with 2 Norco during the day, some days only 1 Norco. Then when I started the fourth month I realized I was having to get up in the night and take a Norco, I would wake up my knees and legs killing me, I have put up with this for 6 weeks, when I return to the dr tomorrow I will ask if he needs to up my mg to a 15 or 20, the Butran 10 had worked great at first I guess my body just got used to it and I need to ramp it up."


"Having used GoLYTELY as a single dose the last time I can tell you that Suprep in two doses is much easier and not as nasty.

1. Keep it cool or cold.

2. Use a big straw (I used new 3/8 " water line.  It was the perfect size).  This gets the liquid past most of your tongue and lessens the taste quite a bit.

3. Drink as much as you can in one go.  You really don't want to sip this stuff.

4. Suck on a small fresh lemon wedge immediately after drinking.  The lemon will taste surprisingly sweet, not sour at all.  And it does an incredible job of wiping out the after taste.

5. Drink the first glass of water as soon as you think you can get any of it down.  While it is adding more volume to your stomach it is also diluting the Suprep."


"I've been on Apri for about 6 months now and switched from Necon. I can predict my period to the day and get no cramps and it only lasts 2-3 days. I've seen a little weight gain and loss of sex drive, and I do feel as though I'm a little more emotional."


"Day 4 on Belviq. Cravings haven't subsided nor do I feel like my brain is signaling me that I'm full or that I do not need that Reese's in line at the

market for the ride home. My main concern is the tiredness, the lethargy and listlessness. It is horrible. I want to stop taking it but have read to "hang in there". Oh mercy!! I'm trying but it's so hard. My husband can notice the difference. My sexual appetite is gone, heck maybe it's bc I'm too tired. In any case I will continue for several more days as I hear this will go away, but it's so very hard. I am hoping that my cravings for sweets will subside as well. Will update."

"When I first went to PM he took me off my 6 x 10mg hydrocodone/day.  I have had triple fusion in my neck, multiple knee surgeries, arthritis, migraines chronic kidney stones so I stay in chronic pain. I was terrified to go off hydros, that has been my only source of pain relief. Well. The 100mg ER. Didn't work so I had withdrawal from hydrocodone and then the pain was horrible.  I went back to the PM And he upped my dose to 150mg ER. Twice a day, and 75mg. Once a day for breakthrough pain. It was like magic. It was wonderful.  As long as I don't over exert myself I rarely need the breakthrough medicine. It is great pain medicine once you get the right dose."


"Thought I would share my experiences on "Tegretol" too.  I have been on Tegretol for 3 days now and can tell a HUUUGE difference! I have not been given the "full blown" Bipolar diagnose yet, I think this will need some more in depth conversations with my psychiatrist. Well yes I was given Tegretol as a mood stabilizer on Wednesday. I took the first 100mg before I went to sleep. The next morning I didn't really feel any different, it was maybe in the evening or the afternoon that I noticed an improvement. I was a lot calmer, my thoughts were gathered, this has been the case until this day. I will ask my psychiatrist to up the dosage of Tegretol but it's early days yet. All in all I love this medication."

"What a waste of time and money!  Easiest prep I've ever done, but no results for 13 hours after 1st dose, then took 2nd dose 6 hours before procedure and got no more results at all.  Had to cancel procedure.  Took 2 more days to get the Prepopik out of my system!  Now I get to go back and discuss alternative preps and do it all over again."


"First of all I have really bad anxiety and I was scared to take this. But Dr said I had to For a week. First time I took it I freaked out really  bad and had a panic attack which I don't really ever get. But I guess it was all up hill from there. Because my anxiety  I really didn't want to take any pills. I try to live very clean eating organic and exercise so this pill kills good bacteria in your stomach and that has a huge effect on your mental state and increases anxiety and stress. I feel better after taking it. But I lost my appetite and I wasn't taking probiotics which is a must. .  So in a week I lost close to 10 pounds. And my stress and anxiety was through the roof. My only feed back is take a lot of probiotics with this"


"Personally the medicine worked well for chronic pleurisy pain (bad stabbing sensation in side with flu or pneumonia) but I had horrible side effects. Dazed constantly, hallucinations, cold sweats, nausea."


"I have had the Implanon in since Septemmber of 2008. I have loved it I am gettting it taken out in two days a little scared because I don't know how I am going to react to it not being in but I want another baby so here we go. I have noticed moodiness and irritability. I have gained 25 to 30 pounds but I thought it was all from my eating habits. After reading some of these posts I am beginning to wonder if its from the Implanon. I haven't bleed like I used to and that is a plus. I hope people don't let the negative reviews scare them from trying this form of birth control because it really is a blessing and has so many advantages."


"It will make you feel nasty, and you have to be careful with the cardiotoxicity, but it will do its job. And it will do it very well."


"I was diagnosed with Sjogrens approx 8 years ago.  Rheumy started me on plaquenil and it helped with the tiredness and no energy for a while but it did not do anything for dry eyes/saliva at all so why take it. It is supposed to slow down the immune system so your problems aren't as bad..i.e. tears/saliva.  But, I started getting bronchitis in Jan-April, took antibiotics, felt good for a week and then the next month it was back again. Dr. said stop plaquenill so your immune system can help you heal so when I stopped taking it I finally healed and haven't had bronchitis since so I decided I was not taking a drug that was not helping my sjogren's nor did I want to take a drug that slows down immune system to help me fight off whatever else."


"I started doing painkillers about 9 years ago, started taking a hydrocodone every now and again recreationally and ended up taking 80mg of Oxycontin and 40mg Opana. Anyone can quit with Suboxone. Saved my life, miracle pill."


"I took it for one week. No withdrawals at all zero. Have not taken anything in 2 weeks and have gotten my life back. No cravings nothing. Just take it and get your life back!"


"Hello. My boyfriend and I had sex with a condom and it broke... and we were really scared and I actually started crying. We rushed to the local drug store within 45 minutes and I took the pill. I was supposed to get my period the week after that. Waiting and waiting is so painful and trust me and believe what people said about worrying making it worse.. IT DOES! So you can worry too much. My period came 2 days late and I'm so glad that I took the pill. I did not experience any side effects. 10/10 and it works!"


"IC nearly drove me out of my mind.  I had it for years......even underwent an experimental surgery to increase the bladder neck.  Worthless. Considered DMSO infusion, but did not want to put poison into my bladder.

Finally found a urologist who prescribed Elmiron.  At that time, it supposedly only worked for about 1/3 of patients.

Elmira totally totally worked for me.  Also:  never drink cranberry juice and stay away from all acidic foods.  One of the worst for me is watermelon.  No alcohol, citrus fruits or tomatoes.

It's so worth it."


"Started taking it for depression, (150mg) but have had IBS with diarrhea and cramping pain starting about 10 years ago. Taking immodium/loperamide at least every other day kept it under control since then, but after going on nortriptyline I've noticed it's improved this to where I only need to take immodium like once a week now to be completely symptom free."


"I used this when I had a sinus infection and it's great. It started working within a few hours and made me feel so much better."


"If you scroll down a bit to 2014, you will find my rave review of Prozac for OCD  and more than 100 people found it useful as well which is great.

Now it's 2016, a year and a half later and I went from 115 lbs (I NEVER struggled with weight) to 151 lbs today and I'm just 5'2".   My diet did NOT change.  In fact I battled anorexia in my teens.  I just don't enjoy food that much and still don't.  I truly believe some people may eat more, but ultimately it messes with your thyroid and hormones bad.

So, this is what I'll say:  Prozac is pure genius and DOES work very, very well.  You will probably lose weight in the first few months, and then as you approach a year the weight comes on fast and hard."


"What can I say this is a GREAT medicine! It was prescribed to me to prevent migraines and depression and it work wonders. I stopped getting migraines from 2-3 a week to maybe 1 a month, helped me improve my energy, sex drive and YES I lost about 25lbs in less then 3months LOVE IT. I would so recommended it to anyone."


"Took for three days. Immediately developed a craving for cigarettes. The next day I started to feel out of sorts and a stabbing pain in my heart. Stopped immediately but the other drugs I took after that made me even worse. Not recommended at all."


"I have been on Paxil twice in my life. When I was teenager, my doctor prescribed me Paxil to control depression. I was on it until I started my Master's. I stopped taking it because I did not think that I needed it anymore. For about five to six years, I wasn't taking Paxil, but I noticed that my anxiety got worse. It got so bad that I began to get panic attacks almost every morning. I also developed an ulcer and was diagnosed with severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome. My doctor decided to place me back on Paxil. After being on for 6 months, I feel absolutely wonderful. I still get anxious every once in awhile but not to the point that I feel as though I'm going to have a panic attack. I've also been able to control my panic attacks on my own."


"Been on Farxiga since October 2014.  Has worked for me. When I eat right my numbers are in the fives and when I don't eat right they are in the sixes. Only noticeable side effect is dizziness when raising up after bending down if I'm not purposely coming up slowly."


"I have been taking tramadol for 3 years. I've had two back surgeries L4, L5 S1 and hip replacement. Getting the other hip done in 2009. Tramadol works great. Using it and advil and I am back to jogging 3 times a week and lifting weights again. I highly recommend it."


"This has been a horror since I took this drug - which did nothing for the situation it was prescribed for. I became unable to walk, or grip anything, and basically became an invalid. I was writhing in severe pain every night from the small amount of shuffling I had to do to keep the shreds of my life going. I got no help from my doctor, who denied the entire thing (worried about a lawsuit probably). The medical/pharmaceutical industry keeps us in the dark - the side effects listed officially are rubbish. I also had complete fog brain, as if my mind had been replaced with gelatin, really terrifying. I also had, in the first year, random speeding heart, like I was going to have a heart attack. 4 yrs later I am still bad. DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG unless you have a life threatening infection"


"I went to the ER this morning because I had a bad cough with chest pains. I was told I had bronchitis and was given two pills at the hospital. It's been about 1 hour and a half and my stomach is cramping horribly with severe diarrhea. I will NOT be taking the remainder if this medicine. Honey and lemon for me."


"I've only been using the .025 patch since yesterday.  I have not noticed any decrease in hot flashes yet. However, I am looking forward to giving the patch a try.  But, I noticed this morning that I have an allergic reaction to the adhesive.  I don't want to remove it but don't want to continue to irritate my skin."


"I've been put on loestrin 20 now for so far 3weeks I've two days left of the first pack! My experience already has mostly been positive I've had less cramping after my last period as I started it on the first day of cycle, I'm able too go too the bathroom more frequently as I would have got backed up at certain times in the month with m.c and ovulation.y breasts have filled out lol I'm only a size 8 and have a small bust and my skin has cleared on my face. I do suffer with endo and my doctor put me on this as a last resort basically. I've spotted throughout the month but I did anyways so don't know if I can blame it on this. She did advise me that diff positions-during intecourse can help & not flare the endo up which bothered me."


"I have constant mid-level depression and have also self medicated this with marijuana, helps a lot but only if you smoke all the time  so I decided to go to the docter and right away he started me off with 100mg zoloft and I just tried this for the next month, the first 2 weeks my emotions were uncontrollable happy, sad, angry, numb, energetic, then tired. So then after the 2 weeks I didn't feel depressed really but didn't feel happy either?just a neutral feeling. So i stopped and decided medical marjiuana works better for me."


"It made my anxiety and depression worse while I was on it.  During the six months it took me to wean myself off of this medication, my anxiety and depression were significantly worse than before I began taking it.  I later read on PLOS Medicine that my experience is fairly typical."


"I have been taking narcotics for chronic pain for about 25 years now.  I started with Tylenol with codeine and have progressed through just about everything (morphine, oxycodone, Dilaudid, Oxycontin, Fentanyl patches, etc.).  My pain management doctor had me on 60 mg of Oxycontin 3 X daily and it worked (somewhat) for a while until I developed a tolerance and it too became ineffective.  So the doctor switched me to 16 mg. Exalgo 2 X daily.  I was resistant at first, mainly because of reducing the number of doses per day but after I took it for a few days I was amazed. I don't wake up in excruciating pain anymore and, even though the effects are subtle and come on slowly, it works better in controlling my pain than anything else I've used."


"I had to go off of Embrel and go on Rituxan because I had developed a melanoma. They felt that the Rituxan was less likely to cause a repeat of the melanoma than any of the other Biologics.  It actually took two months for it to begin to work. Once it began working, though, it started quickly. I still have to take a low dose of Prednisone every day and some pain medicine, but for the most part it is much more effective. Have only had the two original infusions so I can't say what it will do long term. I had a slight reaction during the infusion, but they slowed it down and increased the Benadryl, and everything was fine. I had to pay $3,000 of the cost of the two infusions since my insurance (tricare) will not discount."


"I began the pill on 03/03/2017 when weighing myself again on 03/06/2017 I was already down 6 pounds with no diet or exercise. I have a very limited appetite, always a crave for water. As of today I have lost a total of 13 pounds. I started off weighing 253 now I'm 140.7"


"I started taking these pills 3 months ago and so far it hasn't helped with my heavy periods at all. The doctors told me it might take 2-3 cycles for it to start working but I am currently on my 3rd period since taking the pills and this time my period is way heavier than my last two and I have awful cramps (I rarely cramped before using this pill). I have anxiety all the time now as I am terrified I might develop a blood clot. I'll give it one more month and then look into other pills I guess. Probably gonna write another review so yeah. Also I'm 18 and my periods have been heavy since I was around 15. Praying it works because I can barely move around/stand on my period otherwise I'll just bleed all over the place..."


"Humira has been a miricle, llife-saving drug for me. Along with very informed astute medical professionals, I have been fortunate to have my Crohn's Dz go into remission. THANK GOD!! Any side effects or adverse reactions to the drug have been well worth enduring! Anyone that has had a true Crohn's flare up would agree."


"Quillivant has changed our lives. My 12-year old son has ADHD with slight autism. When he isn't on medication he is depressed, cries a lot and can be inappropriate. He won't swallow a pill. We tried a few medications and the patch, but they all had instant side effects. We love that Quillivant is a liquid and at 5ml he is very happy. The only slight side effect is decrease in appetite. It wears off 8 hours later when we give him a Ritalin pill that he chews. Yuck. We couldn't be happier with this product, but it is hard to find at pharmacies. Get a discount card for only a $20 co-pay."


"update: Been on med since feb 8, 2013. see my other entry for details. because I was not getting good results, I went on paleo diet & brought a1c down in 3 months. I stopped being so strict & a1c was 6.7 last Nov. Holiday eating & not eating paleo (it is hard to go to grocery 2-3x a week!) have caused me to have way higher numbers 200-400 on daily meter. I'm sure my a1c is back up to almost 8 again. I also gained back the weight that I lost on paleo diet. Bydureon has not helped me to lose weight. Even after a year, I still get intense cravings for sweets every now and again. Due to see dr. in a couple of months. We will re-evaluate. Think I could drop a1c just by paleo diet alone."


"For panic attacks, this drug works like a dream. Takes away the panic attack and the only side effect is a little drowsiness if you have to take more than a pill or two per day.

Normally, .25 of clonazepam works for me, but over the years, I've found it to be less effective and need to take .50mg of it to knock out the panic attack. I only take it for emergency situations. It can be addictive/habit forming, but I have not had this problem with it.

Usually takes about 20 - 30 mins. for it to work for me and then I feel just fine."


"I liked this bc quite a bit. I was on it for five years. It did make me nauseous if I didn't eat anything beforehand, but that is easily avoidable. It helped with my acne some but not a lot which is why my doc switched me. I didn't experience any weight gain or loss. I also didn't notice any difference in sex drive or cramps increase. Lastly, I didn't get pregnant on it, and that's the most important thing to me.

I think if it weren't a hassle for me to switch back, I would since gildess isn't helping the acne either."


"I have taken this medication in the past for insomnia and I admit it works great. If I take 25mg I'll go out and fast but it doesn't keep me asleep so I have to take 50mg or even more for it to last. I stopped taking it due to the weight gain, I read about it and Seroquel causes your blood sugar to drop which is the reason for the hunger - and the reason I only wanted cereal. That's the reason I stopped taking it but I am considering asking my doctor for it again because since stopping I have tried so many different sleep aids and nothing works. From Trazadone to Ambien to now Sonata - and nothing works so then I end up taking like 3 pills which I know cannot be good."

"I was on this pill for about 5 months and for about the first 3 months I was fine. My breasts were swollen at first but I surely didn't mind, until about the 4th month they started hurting so bad that I couldn't even hug people. Then towards the end I was having 2 periods in one month and then skipping a period. I took the pill daily at the same time. I'd say that the beginning experience was good but I had to stop taking it. Most people never had this reaction to it though, so I guess I'm just the odd ball."


"I take pramipexole for RLS caused by Parkinson's Disease. It does work very well for the RLS, however I did have some issues. While on the drug I had purchasing problems instead of gambling problems. I think it's affecting a region in my brain that makes it difficult to say "No" to issues like gambling and shopping. I knew what it was when my doctor asked me "Are you having problems with shopping and spending money?". That's when I made the connection.

My doctor is switching me off of Pramipexole to Sertraline which is a drug for Parkinsons. While stepping down from Pramipexole I ran into sleep problems.  I did not fall asleep for about 5 days! Wide awake! 5 days! I'm not going to use Pramipexole. Bad drug."


"I have allergic rhinitis. Was prescribed Zyrtec, Allegra and Flonase and I couldn't get relief. A pharmacist suggested Benadryl and its the only med that works. Took a generic brand and all hell broke loose. Went back to the original and I'm feeling much better."


"I never had a history of DVTs; I'm not overweight; I do not smoke; I work out EVERY day and am generally healthy. I started taking this because I was developing ovarian cysts ALOT. Having said that, I still developed a DVT in my arm, and now I have to be on Coumadin for the rest of my life and administer Lovanox Shots in my belly twice a day."


"I started Contrave last Saturday May 6, 2017.  The first couple of days I felt depressed, my head felt a little weird, and I was mildly nauseous. By Monday, I felt a lot better. I'm still on just one pill a day.  The only issue I'm having is at night when I go to bed I kinda feel like my heart is racing a little bit.  Has anyone else experienced that?  So far that's my only concern.  I have had dry mouth but that's tolerable.  My starting weight was 184ish and this morning I weighed 180.4 which was encouraging."


"Worse meds, there is no need to take tamiflu,

Better off just riding it out.  No benefit to the patient. Only one benefitting is the doctor and the pharmaceutical company,, making money."


"Very effective as long as it is taken like clockwork."


"It lowered my cholesterol without any side effects."


"I have been on accutane for exactly 2 months now. It was prescribed by my GP but she didn't have enough knowledge on my skin and how much dose I should take, so i went to a derm. I was still breaking out really bad, my skin was still oily. She put me on 60mg, with the 10mg my GP prescribed I thought the side effects were already terrible so being put on 60mg was a bit nerve wrecking. But its almost a month, yes the higher the dose the more terrible the side effects are. I am happy with the progress, my acne started in my early 20s, I'm in my mid 20s now a few small pimples that are easily covered up by make up. My pre scars have improved A LOT. My one problem is I am really dark. even though I use spf 50 sunscreen. so trying to work on that."


"I am 25, & have been on the pill since I was 16 with no breaks. I was on lo loestrin 24 FE for over 4 years, until I got a job where I was traveling more, with less of a set schedule in which I was constantly stressing on if I had taken my pill that day or packed my pills. I talked to my gynocologist about other options & she suggested Nexplanon. It seemed like a great option. I asked her if I would experience any side effects & she said she thought I would be fine. I set a date to have it put in. I got really freaked out reading reviews on the internet & almost didn't go through with it but I am SO GLAD I DID! I didn't have any spotting after my normal 3 day period, my mood has been wayy better, & I have actually lost weight. I love it!"


"I used the brand name Ortho Evra for years!! Loved it! no problems ever! Now I am forced to use this Xulane patch, and it is just NOT the same. 1. My period starts while Im on the third patch every month. Ortho, it was 5 days exactly after removing. 2. Taking a bath it comes off! Then its not as sticky. Never ever had an ortho patch come off. 3. I have 2 week long periods now. I used to have only 5 day periods. I just don't like this generic patch whatsoever!!!!"


"I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE! I unlike most people gained a lot of weight in a year. I was around 115lbs before I now weigh 150lbs. I'm only 18 years old. I have stretch marks everywhere from this. I also do not have a period. It's been almost 4 months since I've had it removed and still haven't gotten it back. Do not get this."


"I have been taking Phentermine for 7 days now. Started on 6/6/16 and I feel good.  Love how it suppresses my appetite, gives me energy and makes me drink plenty of water.  Something I had a veey hard time doing in the past.  No desire for sweets which is a great BIG plus for me.  I have to remind myself to eat and try to eat healthy.  The only side effect so far is dry mouth. I have noticed that I am getting cramps in places I normally don't get them. Especially in my calf area during my treadmill workouts. Not certain if this is from the drug or not?  Never happened prior to.  I work out 3 - 4x wk cardio. Advised by doc to stop weight training for awhile becuz it adds weight. That I miss. Am pretty bulky in arms.  Concentrating in weight."


"I have been on Biacna (Canadian Ziana) for about a month now. For the first couple weeks my skin flared up like crazy and my face was peeling. Now I am finally starting to see my acne, which varied from cysts to moderate, disappear. I am hoping once my face becomes completely clear to see my acne marks fade. IMPORTANT: do not use any astringents or lemon/citrus or benzyl peroxide or tea tree oil while on this because it counteracts the chemicals in Biacna. GOOD LUCK and keep going xx"


"Had 2 pills of 20 mg (max dose recommended is just 20mg) after the food but now it's been 2 days I can't even walk because my back is paining and legs are killing me feel like veins are clogged.
Can't even sit can't even stand.
I'm so irritated guys.  I'm taking panadol.

Just need to know how long stays in your body......"


"Got my free sample of salonpas pain patch the same day I worked 8 straight hours. I work in a Vets office in the kennel and most days we do 20 to 30 dog baths a day. I was exhausted and sore and I just knew I would be sore and unable to move the next day, but I applied solonpas pain patch before bed and woke up ready to face another day. I would recommend this to everyone and I will be purchasing more. Thank you for the free sample, it really works!"


"I was on Depo for 9 months, and overall I would rate it poorly. After my first shot, things seemed to be going normal - I was not having abnormal bleeding, I was not gaining weight (although I should say I would go out frequently and eat well), and only had a few of the minor side effects such as tender breasts. However, after the first month, everything went downhill from there! I started spotting everyday, all day long. I received two more shots to try to get my body acclimated to the hormone, and finally switched back to the pill. I also experienced a decrease in sex drive."

"I am currently using Efudex for the second time.  My first experience was 11 years ago.  The issues were exactly as shared by many others.  I was a mess!  It is very mentally challenging to go through this, but I can assure you it is very much worth making the commitment to complete a full course of therapy.  It was absolutely amazing how clear, smooth, and clean my face looked about a month after stopping treatment (I used a topical steriod afterwards).  People actually thought I had some plastic surgery (face lift?).  I am at it again, just having completed my first week.  While I remain self-conscious about how bad I look, it bothers me much less because I know the outcome will be well worth it.  Hang in there!"


"I have been on Vimpat for about 6 months, adjunct to Zonegran. It has not helped to control my hormonal seizures yet, so my doctor keeps having to increase the dose of Vimpat. However, now I can't sleep well but feel really drowsy in the morning which doesn't help me at work, where I need to be very sharp. The worst is the chronic constipation. I am always bloated and have major abdominal discomfort since taking Vimpat."


"I have had a problem with sleep for a long time. My doctor prescribed Seroquel 50 mg. It works great - it takes about usually and hour and fifteen minutes to make me fall asleep. I have to eat about 35 minutes after I take it because I get hungry from it. If I don't eat I won't sleep well. It's a very good medication. I do sometimes once in a while feel dizzy and feel lightheaded. Other than that it's good."


"I had all the side effects listed after taking Lopressor for 3 days. they still persist after stopping meds 2 days ago. I was on very low dosage of 12.5 bid"


"Opana has worked better than anything I have been prescribed. I have several bulging discs, 4 in the lower back and 4 mid back. I was taking 3000 milligrams of Vicodin daily, 8 to 10 x 325 mg tabs.  Now, I take 2, 20 milligram Opana daily, and only 2 or 3 Vicodin as needed.  Be sure to take Opana on an empty stomach, and don't eat for about 2 hours.  Opana is incredible, my next Doctor's visit, I will request a slightly higher dose, and quit the Vicodin all together.  Thank you Opana!"


"The medicine helped tremendously with my paranoid.  However, I had insomnia and gained 45 pounds the six months I was on the medication.  For health risks, I had to be taken off the medication."


"I have an issue with needles, so working up the nerve to get this took me a while. Aside from the initial burn of the numbing medicine I felt nothing. It was actually really cool to watch. The implant site was sore, like a really nasty bruise, for a week or so and it left a tiny little wound (like a large needle stick). Since then, I've hardly noticed it.
Historically my periods have been down right debilitating, for a week I was a vicious monster too weak to walk up two flights of stairs. Since Implanon I have had no periods, no PMS, no pain, and most importantly, no worries about missing a pill and winding up with an unwanted pregnancy."


"This medicine is horrible! I'm an average 20 year old that doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs. I've had anxiety since HS, and only recently realized it. I thought a "magic" pill would make my anxiety disappear, boy was I wrong. My doc prescribed me to take the 37.5 mg dose for like 5 days, then get a refill for 75 mg. The 75 mg gave me bad headaches everyday. I let her know and she prescribed me just to take the 37.5 mg, and stressed to never miss a dose. I followed what she said and I felt OK on the 37.5 mg until I started to notice hair thinning and loss! I have a head full of thick hair, never experienced hair loss in my life! The doc lied said it's just the anxiety. Lies! I weaned myself off after 3 months, withdrawals are the worst."


"Using delsym orange liquid. Suppresses cough. Tastes way better than DayQuil and robotussin syrups.

Raging diarrhea, lack of appetite, vertigo, chills.

Really not worth it just for a cold, but I have reached the point in my cold that if I cough or sneeze too hard that I pee.  Now I get to choose between pee or poo."


"I'm 21 years old with no children. I was on the pill from age 14-19 and became horrible with reminding myself to take them. Decided to try an IUD. I originally got the paragard. Shortly after I noticed I had developed horrible acne. I tried everything to get rid of it but nothing was working. Also my periods became extremely heavy and painful. I thought I'd stick it out to see it those effects would go away. Had it for a year and my symptoms didn't go away. I had it removed and decided to try the Mirena instead for the hormones. I've had it for about 2 months now and my skin is almost completely clear. My periods are lighter with hardly any cramping. I have been spotting off and on since insertion so hopefully it goes away soon."


"I have only taken this 3 nights so far but I can say I have slept more in those 3 nights than in the past month.  Started at 25mg now at 50 and the horrifying nightmares I was having before are gone.  I was barely functioning on 1-2 hours of sleep a night and got 7 last night. I wish I had found this medication years ago.  I'm a little foggy in the morning but that only lasts about an hour or so and I feel so much better with sleep."


"my doctor gave me adderall because i cant sit still long enough to concentrate and study and do productive things at work. He gave me 10mg to take twice a day but i didn't feel any effects from the drug. I decided to take 2 10mg at the same time and still nothing. I am so sad right now because all i want to do is concentrate and study and do my job with concentration. I was really excited to take these pill but now am dissapointed. I think I am one of those people who are resistant to stimulant medication"


"Currently take 80mg once a day for bipolar II.  Take with food at night, otherwise feel nauseous. Used to be terrified of going out in public (grocery store) and now I no longer feel anxious going shopping by myself.  Had extreme road rage, everyone around me made me angry.  I have no road rage at all now, even with LA traffic.  I can go dancing with my friends and be completely sober, when before I'd have to have a few drinks before I'd even think about stepping out on the dance floor.  Latuda has really changed my life I am more social, less irritable, and just a better person to be around."
