Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I rate it a 5 because it worked extremely well, but I hope that by the time I have to have another colonoscopy, some other method of preparation is developed. This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever had to ingest; the flavor, the saltiness and the viscosity made it nearly impossible to swallow. I drank Gatorade and O-Water with every mouthful - the only way I could get it down. It took 6 hours for me to get down 7 pints; I did not finish the gallon, because disgusting as it is, it worked as advertised, very effectively. I became quite dehydrated, though, and very sick the morning of the procedure, and had to go in early for IV fluids and a blood test to make sure my electrolytes were not out of whack."


"At first I read all the reviews positive and negative and was like oh hell no!!! I would leave work early, wouldn't wan to leave the house or even go to the store. So  my DR started me on 37.5 mg XR a few months ago. Only side effect was felt sick to my stomach but that went away after a while. I know people are different but WOW has it changed my life and thinking. I felt like an old me again, not worrying like a nervous nelly about things not in my head thinking about the what ifs, was staying at work and going to stores and people around me noticed the change in me. I was more up beat and less nervous. Now today I started the 75mg XR because my DR said let make you feel even more better. Hopefully this works if not I'll just go back down to 37.5mg"


"Update from previous post. Day 14, now at  2 pills in morning and 1 at night. No side effects. No weight loss. Doc says to give it 6 weeks, then if no response to stop."


"I have been on Portia for over a year it has made me lose weight and caused me to have crazy mood-swings. i got two benefits from the pill which is weight loss and definitely did not get pregnant. This pill works really good for me and I will continue using it until I'm ready to have a child in the future."


"I am a 57 year female, who started using Estrace for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and almost immediately noticed falling hair. I asked my doctor who assured me that it would never cause hair loss. After 3 months my hair was so thin that a rubber band no longer stays put. I quit Estrace almost 2 months ago and the hair continues to fall.  "


"Lowered levels immediately"


"Thankfully my pain management doctor has found a combination of medications that has given me some relief from my chronic pain and I can have a better quality of life."


"started this medication about two months ago - hard to get BC to pay for it, but after I did - it was a life saver. after suffering from IBS-D for years and having a particularly rough flare up over 6 months, after one week I was NORMAL. I feel so much better now. I know it might not work for everyone but it did for me. I don't have a gallbladder and only take one per day."


"This has been good. "


"I had the Nexplanon put in July 29, 2013 and haven't stopped bleeding since. The irregular bleeding is the worst, headaches and facial breakouts are some other side effects I've experienced."


"My gynecologist prescribed me Loestrin 24 Fe to help manage my irritable bowel syndrome and also, clearly, as birth control. IBS episodes are triggered by any number of things, but hormonal shifts due to periods are particularly nasty and as a student and teacher I needed something to help keep myself stable. This birth control keeps everything steady, periods are light and free of pain (maybe one ibuprofen the first day), and all in all I feel great. I am on a three month cycle, however, limiting the amount of bleeding so perhaps it's time to shift to one month for my own reassurance. Breasts did get a bit larger, but my weight has been more stable than it has ever been! Highly recommend, though remember everyone's body chemistry is different."


"I have had fibroymalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and was hit by a hit and run driver on my bicycle and have taken many different pain medications including Lortab 10 mg, and have had considerably more pain relief from Lyrica than any other medication I have taken."


"I took 225mg of Effexor XR for about 6 years for MDD and was doing well until I started to notice a drop in it's effectiveness.  I then tried Lexapro (terrible) and Cymbalta.  The latter worked well for about a year-and-a-half, until, again, it's effectiveness waned.  My physician suggested that, since Effexor XR had worked in the past, I give it another shot.  I've been back on 150mg now for over a year-and-a-half and am doing well on it.  The medicine, along with talk therapy, has helped significantly.  The side effects I experience are:  increased sweating, dry mouth, and loss of libido.  Also, missing a dose for more than a day is miserable, as it causes nausea, a "disconnected head" feeling and slight anxiety."


"I took this for 12 days after developing an abdominal infection after emergency bowel surgery. It  was IV while in the hospital for 5 days and then orally 400mg 3 times a day. I don't know if it was responsible for the way I felt whilst in it (was also on co-amoxyclav)  but I felt horrendous. I had the most awful dizzy, light-hearted headed, spaced out sensations for the entire time. I had a couple of times where I felt so bad I thought I was about to die. I have never experienced anything like that before but I thought I was having a major stroke. The sensation in my head and body was how I imagine a stroke would feel. I then, as a result, had my BP shoot up to 180/110 and pulse go above 100. Really terrifying! Got rid of infection though."


"Worst experience ever!! A nurse practitioner recommended i take monistat as i thought i had a uti but it came back negative so they assumed yeast infection. They gave me a prescription for amoxicillin but it made the infection worse so i statted the monistat. I would normally take canesoral for a yeast infection but i am 7 months pregnant and it wasn't recommended. I am on day 3 of the 3 day monistat and holy hell does it burn!!! I wish I could just take the one canesoral pill and be done with this crazy. I can hardly sleep it burns so bad :("


"When I first started on Vyvanse (30 mg) I thought it was a miracle.  I was social, energetic, and losing a lot weight.  After about 6 months on it (40 mg) things started to change, I began having horrible crashes where I would experience depression, OCD type behavior, and thoughts of suicide.  Trying to get off it it brought about terrible withdrawal symptoms; I gained a lot of weight, was lifeless, and extremely depressed.  I really wish I never started this drug. I noticed a lot of people loving this drug have only been on it for a short amount of time, so come back and update your review when you have taken it for 6 months to a year.  The rebound affect of stopping it has been awful."


"First let me say I am super sensitive to all medications, I tried zoloft, efflexor, prozac, paxil, wellbutrin, and some others and could not tolerate them. I started on Celexa which I only had short nausea episodes. My anxiety and depression was better but I still felt a little foggy. (Started at 1/4 of 20mg upto 1/2 of 20mg) . My doctor switched me right over to lexapro (1/4 pill of 10mg),  same except there is one less molecule taken out  I did this for about 2 weeks,then I went up to 1/2 of 10mg(5mg) other than nausea for a short time the first day I felt okay. As the days went on it has been better and better. I also take Xanax .25mg but find that I rarely need it anymore. Start with baby doses, it was super easy for me! Best of luck"


"While pregnant with my 3rd child, in my early 30's, I began getting horrible acne, mostly on my chin. It was a combo of white/blackheads & big cyst-like pimples and a lot of redness! How embarrassing & painful. I seen a handful of physicians who prescribed different combos of oral and topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, Retin-A and who knows what else, but nothing worked. Very frustrating! So after about 4 years of this (& scars now) I finally seen a derm. who prescribed Aczone (twice a day) & Tazarac (every night). These were winners for me! What a relief. It did take at least 4 weeks or so to see a big difference but my face eventually completely cleared up!!! The results outweigh the side effects (skin peeling mainly). Worth the $$!"


"Last week I had an old fashioned way of Gallblabber removal (20+ previous surgeries had left behind to many adhesions for a Laproscopic removal).
The .5 mg Dilaudid I was given was much better than the Morphine in past surgeries.  Issue:  because I am a middle class lady with insurance seeing a pain management specialist for chronic pain - I was labeled a druggie!!  I was given .5 to 1 mg for my ride home.  I suffered horribly in pain.  .5 is 1/8 the normal dose for most coming out of surgery.  My previous physician (decades) had retired.  He believed NO patient should suffer unnecessarily after surgery!  Not these physicians and not this poor excuse for a hospital."


"I love it!"


"I have been taking Citalopram for over a year now for my anxiety which was caused by life stresses. I would go from 1-100 in a matter of seconds for the littlest things that would just get me so angry.  After taking Citalopram it has greatly improved my life and my moods. The only downfall is that although I do not have a loss of appetite for sex but it is very difficult to achieve orgasm on this medication. Otherwise it is very helpful for me."


"I have been suffering from chronic migraines for 18 yrs. Smells, sounds, foods trigger them and sometimes last for 2 weeks. My Dr started me on 25mg of Amitriptyline at bedtime. Instant relief. First 2 weeks it would knock me out & when I woke I would be drowsy and float through work. Not even a headache for 28 days! 29th day, migraines were back, not as bad. Dr. upped my dosage to 50mg. So far so good.
Side effects I have experienced: Dizziness, drowsiness, & dry mouth."


"I was prescribed this for both hair and acne on my face and chin, and it helped only very minimally. I was on it for several months at a 100mg, then upped to 200 mg dose per day. The hair did eventually start to lessen in re-growth, but the acne was just the same. The side effects, however, were completely not worth continuing. I little heartburn, and excess peeing, I can deal with, but I was getting my period every 12-14 days! Not just spotting, but the full deal!. Not thank you!! and that wasn't mentioned anywhere as a possible side effect, so... not thrilled."


"I personally was on Aviane for about 8 months. The first 3 months were pretty much flawless. I had a problem with my appetite to begin with, gained some weight and dropped it shortly in the next coming months. Didn't experience any acne or stomach nausea. After three months my period got progressively worse. I had intense cramps and felt down right miserable. My entire body ached. Aside from feeling awful I was miserable to be around. I had mood swings I've never had before. Aviane was driving me crazy on my periods. I felt like a different person. My friends, family and boyfriend could even tell I wasn't myself. Just wanted to put this out there if someone was curious there are other options."


"6 years ago I experienced severe pain caused by ovarian cyst and endometriosis. I eventually had my cyst out but after few months severe pain triggered. I was dying of pain most of the time, until such time I cannot tolerate. August 2008 I was given Lupron Depot. First month was a nightmare for me, I thought I was dying because of extreme bleeding. After that one month my body slowly progress. For three months I had a 3.75mg and after that I was having 11.25mg. I am so relieved that it made me live a normal life. I am pain free and for side effects fortunately not too the extreme. My last shot was done March and supposed to have it last June but due to unavailability of my specialist I am waiting for my next step. So far I am doing fine."


"I mean it did its job but geeeez it makes me feel like a pile a poo about a half hour after I take it. I had to take it with pepto so I wouldn't puke it up. At least it worked after 3 days"


"I have a bulging disc at L4/L5 that's pinching nerves in my back. Surgeon told me he would rather me go on pain medicines than go through with spinal fusion surgery. I'd never even heard of Norco before, but it is seriously an amazing pain medicine. I also get epidural steroid injections which provide much needed pain relief. I take one Norco 10/325 when I wake up, then one before dinner. Just those two pills make a huge difference in me living a "normal" life again. Gave it a 9 because I wish it lasted longer so I didn't have to take 2 pills a day.)"


"Took flagyl to treat bv (I actually think it was trich) one doctor said it was trich one said it was bv. Don't expect to see results within 3 days 4 days or etc. everyone's different. Odour went away for me within 4-5 days and discharge never went away until the last pill! Even 3 days after I had clumps of discharge but it was just cleaning itself. I kept reading reviews and making myself paranoid and wanting to cry lol. This is my third time and it's finally gone. I also wash with vagisil ph balance. Btw Don't have sex and don't take medication that will counter act the medicine. (E.g. Tums for stomach relief or Tylenol/Advil)That is all! Hope this helped!"


"Calms me down and helps me sleep that's for sure.

Weight gain needs to be controlled with exercise program I guess."


"I used to have terrible anxiety and racing thoughts and would break down crying every day. I started taking 25mg of Seroquel every night and I am no longer anxious. I have a great sleep every night and wake up feeling awesome. I don't need Ativan anymore for panic attacks as they have ceased completely. I tried Wellbutrin for a while and it made me crazy...for anyone who is nervous about taking an antidepressant or benzos I would highly recommend this medication. I feel like myself - no tremor or fogginess or zombie-like feelings. Occasionally my legs feel a bit restless but I can deal with that. No issues if I don't take it for a night and want to go for drinks or something. No issues with weight gain.

Highly recommend! I got my life back."


"I am 37 years old and have been smoking since I was 12. I smoked 2 packs per day for the last 20 years. I started Bupropion XL 9 days ago 150mg in the AM. The first 2 days I didn't feel any different. On the 3rd day cigarettes tasted nasty. And I started to get a dry mouth. I continued to smoke for the 1 week. at the 1 week mark I started taking 300mg AM. Since I quit, I haven't had a single craving. I feel absolutely amazing. I have been experiencing some side effects though. I get dizzy and feel jittery about an hour after I take the medicine. Come the afternoon I feel fine. I would not have been able to stop smoking if it wasn't for this medicine. =)"


"My 37 year old son is a Type I diabetic-totally insulin dependent. His endocrinologist put him on 10mg Jardiance last Saturday. We were initially impressed that his sugar readings were better but Wednesday night he started vomiting uncontrollably and in severe pain all over. We rushed him to hospital. His kidneys were not functioning. He went from ER to ICU with keto acidosis.. I read all over the internet that this medication is NOT for Type I diabetics. When we called the doctor,he blamed his condition on SCUBA diving which is ridiculous. We always SCUBA and he has never had a problem as he monitors his diabetes carefully. He got sick hours after SCUBA diving. ICU kidney specialist said he should never had been put on this medicine."


"Effexor is the only antidepressant that has helped my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and I have tried quite a few. It is the only one that has had very few side effects as long as you take it regularly. It has greatly helped me deal with my OCD and has greatly improved my overall mood and outlook on life. I take it in conjunction with Pimozide which has eliminated the intrusive unwanted thoughts and also Dextrostat which helped eliminate the tiredness associated with with taking the previous medications.  These 3 medications have given me a new lease on life.  Prior to this mix of medicines I must have tried a couple dozen that either didn't work for me or had too many side effects."


"My experience with Pristiq 50 mg works wonderfully. I've been on it for more than 2 years and don't prefer any other. It's low on side effects and it makes me feel like my true natural self, no zombie feeling at all. For the women in their 40's...Pristiq is a miracle medicine to lessen hot flashes and allows you to sleep well. No worry with sex problems, you will not have any problem."


"I had my implant injected in June 2015 and its Sept 2015 so in fairly new at this. I will say that my arm bruised for a couple days after injected. I had to apply ice for a couple of days before my arm was 100% useful again. After 3 months I haven't had a period and haven't really had any spotting. I have noticed some weight gain.. About 3lbs. I plan to keep an eye out for the weight gain. No other symptoms."


"Amitriptyline made a huge difference to my daily life in terms of pain relief from Vulvodynia, but it has many side effects.  I stuck to a low level 25mg and had to wiegh up benefits vs side-effects.  Changed to Nortriptyline and had the same benefits but less side-effects.  Now take 30mg of Nortriptyline."


"I had a cold sore on the side of my mouth (not exaggerating) for two months ,it would start to heal then right before it would get better it would come back . I finally went and got some abreva after checking the reviews and it worked like a miracle in such a short time, I just could not believe it. I'm so happy with it,  I'm here writing good reviews"


"I have been taking this drug for a year and a half and it has changed my life. I've tried various drugs and lifestyle treatments over 5 years of great instability and desperation, going between breakdown after breakdown. Finding the right dose and preparation (slow release) has not only lifted me from crisis, but improved my wellbeing to an all time level. (It took a little while to adjust.) In particular it guarantees me a good night sleep and I can up the dose slightly if things slip. It has done wonders for my anxiety and given me the stability to really be what I want to be.

I feel it is important to note that the drug is one part of the picture, and mindfulness, exercise, social/professional support etc. are important where possible"


"Very good cough syrup, immediately helped my hacking cough. Although u will feel sleepy after taking 5ml dosage. It's best to take it at night and do not drive ."


"This pill literally made me miserable. Obviously everybody is different, but I felt absolutely awful the entire time I was taking it. Almost immediately after starting this pill, I began to have vicious headaches for days at a time. I also felt nauseous for a good portion of the day, and had no appetite. Maybe because of this, my energy basically disappeared, and all I wanted to do was sleep. I also started retaining a ton of water, which made me feel even more lethargic. I continued to bleed and have cramps throughout the entire pack, and I would frequently feel dizzy. On top of all of this, my mood was all over the place, and I started having anxiety that manifested as tightness in my chest and difficulty breathing."


"I went to the ER for stomach pains and nausea.  I am allergic to so many pain medicines that there is little I can take.  They gave me compazine and as they put it in my iv they told me it could cause severe anxiety in some people.  Well I can tell you now, it was horrific.  I have had one major panic attack in my life and this was 20 times worse.  I started pulling off my clothes and ripped the iv out.  They had to give me a big dose of Benedryl to "reverse" the effects.  Please please think twice and consider other choices before taking this!"


"I have GERD. Doctors have prescribed medicines that have not been effective. I have tried Nexium, Prevacid, Protonix, Prilosec, with no relief no matter the dosage.  When the GERD is not under control I cannot keep anything down. I have thrown up more acid than anyone can imagine. Thanks to my doctor, who prescribed Dexilant the horrors of GERD are behind me. I have suffered no side effects. My advertisement for this medicine would be DEXILANT IS EXCELLENT."


"I started taking this pill from July 2013 to Dec 2014. Had absolutely no problems with it. Helped me regulate my period, which was awesome. Got off the pill, 4 months later, boom!.. pregnant lol. But I'm back at it, once again. I truly like this pill."


"Gets rid of my back pain better than anything I have been on yet!  For me this is the best! (However, I have never been on anything stronger like Duragesic.)"


"I have taken Loestrin 24 Fe for the last four years. Because of its discontinuation, I was told by my doctor to begin taking the chewable contraceptive Minastrin 24 Fe instead. After taking this pill for 3 months, I have found myself irritated and miserable over the smallest  inconveniences. The acne that I had treated and somewhat cured is now back and annoying as ever. I am switching pills ASAP. I want Loestrin back!"


"I have had no side effects whatsoever on this pill. This is the first birth control pill I have ever taken and it has worked great for me! I'm not sure if this matters but I am 18 years old."


"I am 33 and have had overactive bladder all of my life. I went through a lot of treatments that didn't work. I now have a normal life thanks to botox bladder injections. I used to urinate 20-30 times a day. With botox, I'm normal!.

My doctor instills lidocaine in my bladder then does the injections via cystoscopy with me awake and unmedicated. I do feel the injections, but it's not terrible, and definitely worth it to me.

The first time I was so disappointed that I had more frequency after the procedure than before, but now I know it doesn't take effect immediately. I usually have fatigue about 2-3 days after the procedure and the botox takes effect in 1-2 weeks.  I have had it 5 times, it lasts me about 7 months."


"Works great even as a rescue inhaler"


"I am surprised by how many people get such relief from migraines by taking clonazapam. I take 1mg twice a day for anxiety and it works well for me. Never noticed helping migraines. I'm on Sumatriptan."


"The only thing to work for me so far."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5. My parents stopped medication a few years later. I was re-evaluated at as 25 and given Focalin XR. I have been on it for 8 years and have nothing but great things to say about it. I feel focused and in control when on it. When I'm off it, time drags by and I can't seem to finish anything. I haven't experienced many side effects. Periodically have less of an appetite and occasionally clinch my teeth but other than that, all is well."


"I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder a few years ago. I've tried basically all SSRI anti-depressants. They did nothing for me other then make sex impossible and gave me leg tremors as well as massive weight gain. I switched to Wellbutrin and my sex drive is back to normal my weight is dropping and I feel a lot better. I recommend this medicine to anyone struggling with SSRI's and their many side effects."


"I have ak on my legs & arms.  After 5-6 yrs using the usual topicals and not having any real results, picato gave me the results I was looking for."


"I haven't had any harsh side effect but I can't get a single patch to adhere to my skin for longer than two days! That's the on benefit I loved with Ortho Evra. I just stuck it to my butt cheek and went about my life for a week. There have been times in the last 5 months that I haven't even noticed the fell off untill my period started early. I'm currently switching to the Nuva Ring. Let's hope it stays put - it should."


"Was so disappointed when the pharmacy informed me these were $202, luckily I only paid $30 after insurance. But, the bottle is so small it doesn't last more than a week or two. Good news is it worked, for the 1st time in years my eyes stopped burning from the moment I woke up, and relief last 8 + hours. I took before bed 1st few days, and symptoms were back by morning, so switched to doing drops in morning."


"hey! im 28 and istarted taking phentermine october 4,2016 and as of today (9 days later) i am down 6 lbs! ive been given two more refills to last me thru this year. the only negative is dry mouth but i have no problem drinking water all of the time and it deff suppresses my appetite! i also have more energy so working out for 30mins each day is not a chore"


"I was recently exposed to MRSA. (hazards of my job) Few days later, I woke up to my right eye swollen shut and oozing yellow pus. Whites of eye was red. I immediately went to Urgent Care. They squeezed out a sample from my eyeball to send to the lab. In the meantime, they expressed concern that it was either MRSA or a really bad case of pink eye. I am being treated for both right now. The medication proved to be a miracle - its killing the infection in my eye. Swelling went down, minimal pus coming out as of this morning, red is now pink - just over 24 hrs after starting the medication. I have had no side affects from the medication."


"I was diagnosed with AS about 2 years ago but felt the pain last 5 years. I have tried everything and absolutely nothing has worked for me, lastly trying Humira which I was on for about 4months and no pain relief and then trying Enbrel weekly for 4 works now and haven't felt any difference at all so far, maybe it may take a lot longer to kick in :("


"Best anti-nausea medication available. Very effective for those undergoing chemotherapy. Also good for conditions when you are nauseous and require a narcotic analgesic - nausea will still subside. If you are allergic to other nausea medications such as compazine and/or reglan, like I am (severe panic attacks), zofran is your safest best (only side effect I have occasionally noticed is slight headache). The only real downfall is the price of the orally disintegrating tablet, because there is no generic. The non-ODT tablet does have a generic, and is also very effective, but if you need relief FAST, ODT is the best way to go."


"I have been taking Avodart for about two years now. It was prescribed because of an enlarged prostate which was affecting my ability to urinate. My stream is much improved. "


"Allegra is too expensive and doesn't do anything for me. Not worth it."


"Extreme dry mouth, frequent urination, continued thirst"


"I started out at 201lb on 6/25/17. I get the generic pills directly from my doctor so I only pay $60 ($30 each) for a month supply. I am going on month 6 and I am down to 135lb. I don't do strenuous exercise, I purchased a $135 portable elliptical off Amazon and I will do 3-7 miles on it while I watch TV after the kids are in bed a few times a week. I am on the plant based diet with some whole milk yogurt thrown in a few times a week and maybe an egg every now and then because I love them! I went through a really bad spell of dry mouth for a few weeks but some dry mouth lozenges really helped with that. I am very happy with the medication and the results."


"I suffer with cluster headaches. Extreme pain of the highest order. I found Rizatriptan melt in the mouth tablets to be superb."


"I began using this medicine after having very heavy bleeding for 2 month straight. My periods were pretty regular until then. I was in tears when I went to see my doctor. He gave me this pill and it stopped the bleeding within 1 day. It was great. Took it for about 5 days. It has now been 4 weeks and have not seen a sign of its return. I did not have any severe side effects on it except that I was a little emotionally edgy for about 3 days or so. I just kept to myself and made no important decisions for the week. Hope this helps."


"I had a "nervous breakdown" in November of 2009 and ended up in a psych hospital where I was promptly given Seroquel among other medicines. The Seroquel was amazing. I felt like someone switched the on button in my brain and I finally woke up. When I got out of the hospital and sought out a new psychiatrist for treatment, he took me off of the Seroquel because I am diabetic. After a year of unsuccessful treatment with other medicines, I begged to be put back on the Seroquel because the depression was unbearable, and I wasn't responding to other medicines. So he agreed and once again that switch has been flipped on and I feel "normal"! I am only on 300mg. I have to take it early because it knocks me out. In the morning I am very dizzy and have slurred speech."


"I only have half the cartilage in both knees due to osteoarthritis and had taken 800mg of Advil 3 times a day for 10 years. I've been taking Mobic 15mg. for 2  years which provides very good pain relief with one pill a day. Sometimes I have pain in the evening for which I take 2 Tylenol. Mobic seems to be much easier on my stomach."


"Was prescribed this just a week ago and was told to use it twice a day after washing my face for my acne. I did this but it has left my face all dry, itchy, patchy and some part of my face looks like its been burned. I've stopped using it now and I won't be ever using this again, it slightly worked on calming down my acne spots but this cream has made my face look a thousand times worse."


"I was so stressed! Like to the max! U probably are too if you're looking at reviews for this pill. Okay things to help you out. If u took the pill in the 72 hour range, URE GOOD! Also try not to make your partner nervous. This pill worked for my gf.

My incident: I put my penis inside without protection but for less than 30 seconds and proceeded with a condomn afterwards. Scared that precum might get her pregnant, which is highly unlikely but who cares right, we went to the store and bought Plan B. She experienced burning and stomach aches which was normal for the least(You might have different side effects). If u are bleeding, do not worry its just the pill. If you experience any of the side effects, ITS WORKING! Itll work!DONT STRESS"


"I had a great experience with this antidepressant. I am 18 and I've been on it for four years. I forgot to take it today for the first time in years. I've been crying and shaking all day because my body doesn't know how to function without it. Needless to say, I need it to get through every day life. It's worked so well for so long. I can't see myself getting off of it any time soon."


"Took Prozac for over 20 years.  It tends to stop working so tried many different antidepressants over those years.  None worked as well for me as Prozac and had various side effects.  Three months ago I went to a psychiatrist who put me on Pristiq.  I stayed on it one month, which was one month too long.  Lucky to have made it out alive.  Never had been so depressed in my life.  Switched to Zoloft and slowly came back to life."


"So far I have loved the patch! I've only been on it for about two and a half months, but in that time my breasts have gone up a full cup size! I've had very small breasts my entire life (now 21 years old) so you can imagine how happy I am. I've had a few bad headaches recently, but every once in a while my whole life I've gotten bad headaches. Other than that I can't think of any other symptoms I've had from using  the patch."


"Absolutely did not work for me.  Slept for a short time at 50 MG (lowest dose) & anything above that gave me a terrible headache the following morning. I tried it in lieu of Dalmane & a combo of Dalmane (30 mg), Gabapentin (600 mg) & 15 mg Remeron (VERY careful re:  Weight Gain Side Effect, gained 20 lbs in short order), dramatically increases your appetite for Carbs & Sugars & overall appetite (what they don't tell you is that they give this to patients in the hospital who won't eat to increase their appetite)"


"I've been taking Zyprexa for 3 years, and it completely eliminates symptoms such as delusions, irrational thoughts, manic behavior associated with schizoaffective disorder. Biggest downside is high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), high lipid levels (hyperlipidemia) and weight gain of 80 lbs (from 180 lbs to 260 lbs in 3 years). "


"Started taking Arimidex in June and have lost 45lbs. Vomiting and diarrhea have left me homebound. I keep starting and stopping this pill. Oncologist thinks I'm crazy, but when I stop the pill the vomiting and diarrhea stop. Just stopped taking it before Christmas and I'm feeling so much better. Have had two lumpectomies and a mastectomy. Don't want the cancer to return, but the side effects are too much for me."


"I get a lot of breakthrough bleeding and not just spotting. I was on Lo Seasonal and I should have just stayed on that but I was wanting more of a long term birth control. My sex drive didn't go down but I feel as if I'm in a race with my body to see if I can have sex before I start bleeding again. No weight gain or mood swings though. I've actually lost 5 pounds."

"My doctor prescribed this medication for me 2 weeks ago for escalating and uncontrollable anxiety.  I held out little hope it would help, as many other medications for anxiety had failed in the past.  Within one hour of beginning this medication, my anxiety had completely ceased.  I was amazed.  I was expecting this medication to take weeks to work, or fail completely.  I do feel a dizziness sometimes, but cannot even consider this a drawback in light of the relief it has given me.  My family and friends have noticed the change in me.  Give this medicine a chance."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for 20 years or so now. I have been taking Requip for almost the entire time it was diagnosed and I have a severe case. In the past few months, I have experienced some nausea, dizziness, pain and tiredness after my first dose in the morning. I did not realize this could be a side-effect of the medication. I take 4mg. 3Xday, if I did not, I would never sleep, sit through a movie or be able to focus on work. I will put up with the side-effects."


"Bactrim worked miracles when I first started taking it. I was on it for almost 5 years, but it began to lose it's potency so I had to change. Overall, it helped a lot in clearing my acne. I did experience less of an appetite, but other than that it was a positive experience."


"I've been taking this pill for two months now and have been bleeding for the last 28 days,  and this is with already skipping the sugar pills.  Can't imagine if I actually had let my body have a period.  The doctor said give it three months,  I'm waiting.  I have cramps every day,  motrin is like a daily routine now day and night.  Has anyone experienced this?"


"I've had acne all my life but it was never really that severe; just a few then and there. But once I turned 18 it was when my skin got super bad where every night I would take off my make up and start crying whenever I saw all my acne. I got prescribed to epiduo forte by my dermatologist, and started using it in October. It is now almost February and I have been using this product for almost 4 months and I can say my acne has officially cleared up. This drug does make your skin break out even more and it does make it very sensitive for the first 2-3 months. After the 3 months of using it consistently every night your skin will start to clear up. I do break out on my period but now all I have to worry about are my scars. I love this product."


"I had unprotected sex for literally 5 mins and I wanted to stop cause it didn't feel right, took plan b pill literally 12-15 hours later and I still got pregnant! Not to mention, the side effects are HORRIBLE. Felt dizzy, nauseous, and extremely tired for a few days. Pill doesn't always work, cause I still got pregnant!"


"I was givin paxil by my doctor, and It works wonders.

It is rare that I even feel most anxiety, and I haven't had an attack in months. I've been on it a couple years and have yet to feel it stop working.

BUT, do not take this if you aren't willing to have a long time commitment with it. One thing the doctor won't tell you about straight up is the withdrawal. I've tried to come off of paxil, out of frustration mostly at the withdrawal effects, and all I can describe it as is a living hell. Confusion blurred vision, brain zaps, vertigo, nausea, depression, increased anxiety, etc. Not for the faint of heart. If you can, go with something else."


"I'm a 17 year old female. I'm in my first semester of college. I've had depression since about 13/14 and I've always had anxiety. Unfortunately, my anxiety became intolerable once I started college. I've been on Zoloft for a week and a half. The first week I took 25 mg, now I'm up to 50 mg. I've only had one panic attack since starting. I feel way more relaxed. As for the depression, I used to sit around all day just thinking about how much I hate life. I haven't been doing this anymore since I started on Zoloft. I'm hoping Zoloft will do even more for me after a few more weeks. I'm finally looking forward to the future with hope."


"I have been taking Celexa, in total for about 5 weeks.  My doctor started me at 10mg for a week, then 20mg for a week, then 40mg. I have been taking 40 mg for about 2.5 weeks now. Celexa helped my depression, which was from the anxiety and obssesive compulsive disorder, after about a week. I am also taking Klonopin 0.5mg at night to help me sleep. My doctor said it would take at least 3 weeks maybe as long as 6 weeks on my 40mg to control my severe anxiety and out of nowhere panic attacks. I made the mistake of taking myself off of my Klonopin this past Friday. I have gradually gotten worse since.  I am seeing my doctor today but I already know it's because I stopped taking my Klonopin too soon and the Celexa hasn't reached it's full potential yet."


"I have tried everything to control my atypical migraines. My migraines are severe and mimic transient ischemic attacks. I was diagnosed at age 14 years old. I am now 28 years old and an ER nurse. I have to be able to function as my job is very demanding. I take a low dose of Topamax 25mg daily and when I get an aura I take Motrin 800mg and 300mg Neurontin. In about 30mins I am able to function again. I love this."


"I took adipex for 6 months... my starting weight was 210.0 ... ending weight was 165.0 ... that was a year ago.  This is MY advice. #1. You may not FEEL like eating... but do it anyways... or you'll slow your metabolism down to a crawl and stop losing weight. Just watch what you eat!!  #2. Take vitamins!!!! By the time I hit 165# - my hair was starting to fall out, I couldn't focus, and I was constantly tired - sometimes I'd nearly pass out... because "I didn't feel hungry" and just wasn't really eating more than 500 calories a day.  Even sitting STILL your body burns way more than that! #3.  Be prepared to gain some of that back when you come off the pill.  I wasn't prepared at all - and I gained it all right back.  Still, great pill!"


"This is the second time I've been prescribed this medication. I don't recall any side effects (other than the freaky urine colour!). But this time, I feel like I'm about to vomit...  and it's only been about 4.5 hours since I started this medicine."


"Terrible Med!  Years after taking for a few weeks I still have seriously blurry vision.  Seems to be permanent.  Everything about this drug was far worse than the problems it was supposed to address.   Do not take this toxic garbage.  My Dr insisted I had to give it time to work...  Any more time and I'd likely be dead or blind!  Avoid like the plague and/or carefully read of myriad side effects and hope you can stop in time to avoid permanent problems from side effects.  IMO this med s/b taken off the market!"


"I've been on Vyvanse for 2 years. I started on 50mg. I was on that dose for about 6 months, tapered down to 30mg for a few months, and found a happy medium at 40mg. 50mg was too strong and 30mg was too weak. I have a pretty severe case of ADD. For an adult, I never thought ADD would be an issue. I finally saw my doctor who prescribed me Vyvanse. Vyvanse was the first pill I've ever taken for my ADD and it's seriously improved my life immensely. Biggest side effects for me are increased anxiety, OCD tendencies, insomnia, and frequent mood issues after taking it. The ultimate biggest con for me is price. My insurance pays very little. It's around $250 per month."


"I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. My doctors all agreed I would need chemotherapy so I did 2 before my oncologist suggested xalkori.. Over all its better. My side effects are mostly diarrhea, itching and nausea. But I am maintaining my weight and feeling more energetic sometimes. Thank you got making it and it is really saving my life"


"I was given lamictal for my bipolar disorder, and was on it for about 2 years. It gave me kidney problems, so I stopped taking it. However, now that I'm no longer on it, I have gained the ability to completely turn off my emotions like a switch whenever I choose to. I can turn them back on with some difficulty.

At first, I liked being able to turn them off, but now it's becoming a curse. I don't mean that it helped me control my emotions; I mean I literally can turn them all off like a switch. I no longer care about anything at all, not even if I live or die. When I do this, I feel soulless, but cannot care that I am. It is truly horrible and is slowly ruining my life. I advise anyone to not take lamictal. It isn't worth it."


"My doctor prescribed Belviq for me because I wanted to lose weight and I already follow a healthy lifestyle. I'm 59 years old, eat a lowfat diet filled with fresh vegetables and lots of protein. I also work out at the gym 4 days a week including weight training. I used Belviq for over 2 months and didn't lose a single ounce!  Frustrated? No.  Angry!  This medication was very expensive and gave absolutely no results. I would definately not recommend this to others. A complete waste of my money!"


"Going through a heart breaking split with the love of my life after seven years.  Hows does this happen?  Well, when a man (me) is 20 years older than his love, it's inevitable.  She is 31, beautiful and feels her clock ticking.  I have already raised my kids.  You get the picture.  The gut wrenching part is that we love each other.

That said, you can imagine the wild ride I've been on emotionally.  This medicine saved me.  I'm sleeping, eating some what and my head doesn't race so much with the thoughts of her someday in a new family.  I can function, and the tears for the most part have stopped.

0.5 mg 3 x a day as needed.  Right now I take it 2 to 3 times a day but feel I can probably get down to just twice daily.

This medicine has saved me."


"I can only think you are all in the U.S. In the U.K this drug is given to treat schizophrenia, severe schizophrenia. Good luck to you all"


"Loestrin Fe is great. Not only did it clear up my cysts, but it cleared up my adult acne too."


"I am on week 5, have lost 9 lbs total. Some might say this is achievable with diet/ exercise & they'd be right. For me, I haven't had time to exercise. My Dr prescribed the following: week 1: 1 pill mid a.m. / food, week 2: add in 2nd pill mid p.m. week 3: 1 mid a.m. & 2 mid p.m. & week 4 & all following: 2 am & 2 pm. Here's the difference: My Dr knew that nausea was a common side effect & also prescribed a nausea medicine for the first month, once daily about 30 min. before my first dose, to help me build a tolerance. I am on week 5 & have run out of the nausea medicine. I'm not feeling nausea but the headaches some speak of are present. I've up my water, add Tylenol as needed & hope it will pass. Let's see. I want to continue."


"Zantac really helped my 7 year old out with his acid reflux. He has been vomiting for nearly 2 years. More at night than during the day.  He now has been on Zantac for 2 months now and he has no problem with acid reflux."


"Horrible drug, will never use it again. My doctor perscribed the lowest possible daily dose to try to see if it would help for anxiety and depression.  After taking it for one week I had nausea, constant sweating, made my head feel tight and foggy, did not sleep more than 20 mins at a time because I was constantly waking with nightmares.  Been off effexor for over a month.  Sweats gone, nausea gone, feeling much better but can't sleep more than 4 hours straight then being awake for hours.  I would not recommend this drug to any one.  Get your doctor to try you on something different first.."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"While taking these supplements I thought that my iron levels would be excellent. However this was not the case I am below the recommended iron requirement.  I take a extra iron supplement plus my prenatal vitamin.  Besides this little problem I think this is a decent prenatal vitamin."


"I have been on Victoza 0.6 for 5 days now. The nausea has been the worst part. My Doctorr called in a prescription of Phenergan for the nausea. After that, it has been more tolerable. I have also been getting some nasty headaches. Appetite is completely gone. I have to force myself to eat. I am Type 2 diabetic. I had previously lost 60 lbs, but that did not help my blood sugar. My A1C was 11 with blood sugars into the 300s and 400s. I am still taking the metformin. I am sure I have lost some weight, but my bathroom scale is broke so I do not know how much. I have been on insulin before and Anandia, but those did not help my sugars. I have about 50 lbs to go before I reach my goal."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Taste was kinda grape metallic, not too awful bad.  Took the first dose at 6:30PM, finally worked at 11:00PM.  Took the second dose at 3:15AM, started working before I finished the second glass of water, and was through at 6:45 AM.  When it was done, it was done.  No worries about an accident on the way to the clinic, etc.  It was on and off, not continuous in the bathroom.  Overall, I'm happy with the product, it was really gentle-acting for me, not a violent experience like I've had previously."


"I am only on one week into the Lupron and my pain has begun to, not ease, but not be as sharp as it was at all times. I can finally breathe and think before the next stabbing pains begin. But about two days ago I got mood swings. I seem insane, I'm fine then, I'm screaming. I'm only 17 and this is NOT what I need along with the disease. I hope it gets better for I wont have any friends at the end of the six months."


"I used to have severely clogged pores as well as scarring from cysts but once I was prescribed this cream, it CLEARED EVERYTHING. When I first started using it, I found that it caused my skin to have extremely dry patches and they would flake up. It wasn't the worse thing in the world, but I would avoid talking to people close up. If you honestly want it to work, you need PATIENCE!!! The first 2 months, you'll notice just a lot of flaking of skin but after the 3rd month, my skin was clear and I had naturally clear complexion. I honestly never had such great confidence in my skin. I was able to stop wearing such heavy makeup foundation to cover up scars and moved onto bb creams or even nothing at all!! THE KEY IS PATIENCE!!!!!"


"I have been on this medication for a while now. Without it I cannot go to the bathroom but with it I get diarrhea. It seems to mess with the consistency of my stool. It's good to feel cleaned out but it interrupts one's day and made me feel like I always had to be near a bathroom. It works (typically) within 2-3 hours. I wish that the 72 was a low enough dosage but it's not and amitiza is ironically also too strong yet no OTC remedies work well enough for me. Hopeful another solution will come with time"


"Take in the morning before breakfast. Take any other medications after breakfast. Works best for me this way."


"was prescribed this for dealing with pain after 4 of my wisdom teeth got extracted. all I can say is that the pain relief lasts very momentarily and I still feel absolutely awful after. tried doubling up and that didn't help much either. considering asking my doctor to put me on stronger medication, because this stuff hasn't worked wonders at all.

I'm not excited to see how the next few days will pan out if this medication is barely able to hold my pain back."


"I suffer from Anxiety, Depression, and Alcoholism (in recovery). I've been using Vistaril at 50 mg. three times per day for about 6 months now. I find it works well in combination with with Neurontin (Gabapentin). I like that the drug is non-addictive and available as a generic with little cost. I get a stuffy nose intermittently, that I believe to be a side effect of Vistatil, but the benefit outweighs this minor side effect. I would recommend trying this drug if you suffer from anxiety. It works very well for me."


"I was switched from Yasmin to Tri-Sprintec in December 2010 because it was cheaper. At first, I was hesitant to make the switch, but I have found it to be about the same. The only discomfort I experienced was some nausea and headaches within the first 3 months or so. I haven't experienced any weight gain, my periods are very manageable overall, and I don't have any acne breakouts. I went from paying $60/month to $9/month; definitely worth the switch!"


"The only side effect is extreme fatigue for about a week.  It goes away and then I am quite good the next three weeks.  So far so good."


"Two doctors and a PA couldn't figure out my problem. Last doctor prescribed Enablex and it worked immediately. I have no side effects."


"As of today I have just started my first Placebo pill in my first month of Tri-Sprintec. For the first week or two I noticed increased nausea and breast tenderness, the nausea subsided but the breast tenderness still lingers (just not as bad). I got on this birth control in June to prevent pregnancy, so far for the whole preventing pregnancy it's wonderful. Periods come right on time and I had no clue of her arrival (no cramps, moodiness etc) which I love! Since I've been on it, the past month I have actually lost 16 pounds and I am quite alright with that, I have decreased appetite which is also a good thing because before I started birth control I would eat every chance I got. Overall this pill is great! You just have to try it out for you!"


"Awesome medicine, changed my life! Love Love Love it!"


"I have been on Yasmin for a long time but began having break through periods after my third child. My doctor switched me to Zovia and within 3 weeks I gained inches on my hips and thighs. I work out twice a week and watch what I eat so this was concerning. I also developed a LOT of acne on my face. Big red sores that were painful. I have since switched back to Yasmin and my side effects have reversed. Thankfully. It may have been due to the increase in the amount of estrogen from the Zovia."


"I had been on Asacol HD until my insurance Cigna stopped covering it. I had been okay, but had to watch what I ate and often has loose bowel movements.

First night after taking Apriso was terrifying. I felt like all my muscles were numb in the middle of the night and I had night sweats. (I had drank some wine that evening)

But when I awoke the next morn, by bowel movements seemed okay. I kept on Apriso and saw the numbing impct at night dwindle. In fact I seem to be getting more restful sleep.

It has been 3 weeks so far, and I feel this is the best I have been with my UC single I was diagnosed 18 years ago.

Certainly recommend trying it out!"

"Started my humira on Thursday and was suicidal by Sunday. I only took 4 injections and this medication destroyed me mentally and physically."


"[Review Part Six] I haven't gained any weight, which is cool.My periods have completely stopped, which is also cool because I used to have extremely painful periods.But, I haven't gained anything positive whatsoever from the Nexplanon implant. I'm getting this thing removed on January 4th, but doing that isn't going to bring back the love of my life and his son who I absolutely adored and who my son was best friends with.  Nexplanon is a bad choice. If you've ever had issues with depression, anxiety, or acne, DO NOT get Nexplanon!  It might just cost you the people closest to you. My recommendation would to thoroughly research natural birth control methods as well as practice the natural family planning"


"This medicine is the best!. I'm type 2 diabetic - Side effects: some light nausea for a couple of days only. My sugar levels were out of control ranged from 250 to 450 before Trulicity 1.5- I found this forum looking into the feedback of Trulicity users and I was terrified of the side effects users had and posted in here - Regardless my concerns I decided to go for it.  This is my 3rd week and my sugar levels are like never where before ranging from 110 to 140 (after meal) - No side effects, the hunger is gone  as well as less of an appetite. I loss 12 pounds in almost 3 weeks.  I have not had any hypoglycemic events. I'm very happy to finally get my levels in control-"


"I've used tri-sprintec for about a year. I started it to have lighter periods & to help get rid of acne. It's worked really well for me & my periods last about 4 days & are very light & I've had one or two breakouts since. So why not a higher score? Well like all women, my period was going to coincide with a beach vacation & I was not ok with that. I decided to skip a period & instead of using my week 4 pills, I skipped right from week 3 to week 1 on a new pack... Worst. Idea. Ever. I still got my period & it's lasted for a month, not to mention I have a major acne breakout & no not just one or two. I'm hoping things will go back to normal soon & I warn everyone if this pill is working well for you, DON'T SKIP A PERIOD INTENTIONALLY."


"Omg! My vagina is on fire! This is terrible! I keep jumping up and down in pain from this stuff! Terrible! Absolutely terrible !! Hurts and itches and burns more then the actual yeast infection !"


"I am 37 year old female who has been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome-C for almost a year now. I went from having a bowel movement every 5 to 7 days to having one daily on this medication. I've been taking it for a month now and it started working right away. I do not have to run to the bathroom like some users have mentioned. You take it in the morning and about 30 to 60 minutes later it creates a movement. It has been so wonderful to feel "normal" again. However, the two draw backs I have noticed are, one, it doesn't really help with bloating (which is probably my main complaint), and the cost is an issue. I have three months of free samples then the cost is right around $200 a month."


"I have tried everything, even asked my dermatologist for Accutane after reading the horrible reviews, that's how  desperate I was. She prescribed Spironolactone & after 3 months, MY SKIN IS CLEAR! I did gain about 15 lbs, but hey, I can lose weight, whereas I  couldn't clear up my skin on my own! I noticed a slight feeling of depression in the first little while. But that's gone. Also, I started out with 50 mg & went up too 100. I think if I would have waited a bit longer I wouldn't have needed to & that may have helped the weight gain. But I'd do it all over again!"


"When I first took Zyban, I was confident it wouldn't work. I smoked much more than I used to during the first week, and then suddenly I couldn't smoke at all.

After 3 months on Zyban, I have been extremely happy that I finally beat this addiction. I'm no longer taking the medication and do feel like I want a drag or two.

All in all, I would say it is a miracle drug...no matter what people tell you, it IS worth it. Be sure to follow what your doctor tells you, it's plain and simple: 2 tablets per day for 9-12 weeks and you will never ever smoke, if that is really what you want.

I hope it helps everyone the same way it helped me."


"I have been getting these painful boils under my arm since I was 15-16. Now I'm 21. Like a month after I had my baby, my face broke out really, really bad. Cephalexin(Keflex) cleared it right up. I don't get boils any more."


"Took 5mg of dulcolax going to bed at 10pm. Woke at 4 with excruciating abdominal cramps, then started having heart palpitations, sweats , nausea, worse pain than childbirth .....then I fainted ! Woke up on the tiled bathroom floor with 4 children looking at me thinking I was dead....have a head injury from the bang on the tilled floor, soiled myself cos I hadn't the energy to lift myself to the toilet seat...profuse diarrhoea for 30 minutes ....bed ridden for 6 hours after the faint.....NEVER again will I take this medicine...on the bottle it says "for gentle relief of constipation " .....nothing could be further from the truth. I'm actually traumatised."


"I have the worst back pain and I took these pills and they did nothing for me. I spent 12 dollars on this stuff for nothing."


"Took Sudafed today and decided to try Mucinex D tonight for the congestion medicine in it.  My sinuses are feeling less pressure but it's 2:00 am and I haven't slept a wink and the way my heart is racing I doubt I will.  This should definitely be a daytime only medication."


"After self medicating my anxiety for a couple of years with booze, I took initiative to regain control. Went to the ER, they gave me librium to detox at home. Helped tremendously. Walked away from my business (had to, that was my huge stressor, and it was going to kill me). Went through the roller coaster of emotions being sober. So here I am a year later. I asked my Dr for an anti depressant last month to help the lingering bouts of anxiety. She prescribed 20mgs of celexa. Starting with 10 for a week. First week, I seriously felt like I was on e. Euphoric, music sounded better, relaxed...but could not sleep "normal". My sex drive is back and in full swing. Still staying on 10mgs as it still feels strong. Sleeping better the past 10 days."


"I was given 1 mg Dilaudid IV every 2 hours after gallbladder surgery. It controlled my pain better than the Morphine and I had no side effects."


"I've been on premarin for over 20years. When I started I had side effects of bloating and constipation. Over time those resolved. I don't know why I'm still having hot flashes 20+ yrs after menopause. Now I take.625 every other day due to the expense. That works. If I try to cut back to every third day the hot flashes return in a short time."


"I have tried numerous psych meds over several years. I could not take any of them due to side effects. Been on vortioxetine about 7 mos. It has improved my depression and helped me feel good and confident.  At first the side effects were some nausea, itchiness and diminished vision. The benefits outweighed the side effects-especially since-unlike regular SSRIs-this med does not interfere with my ability to think clearly and complete my work. Now though I have developed joint pain and muscle stiffness. Also maybe it shrinks my tendons. When I skip med for a day pain/stiffness reduces and vision improves. (nausea and itchiness had already become a non-issue). Hope next generation med fixes vision & stiffness pain problem. Will talk to doc soon"


"I have severe and I mean severe heat rash. This medicine clears it up every time within days. Would be suicidal by now otherwise. Noticed water retention/weight gain though but worth it for the few days a year I need to take it."


"I've been taking 6 mgs now for over a week and it doesn't do much for me. Last night I slept maybe 2 hours. I may see if my doctor will prescribe 10 mgs doxepin. I'm really worried, as nothing seems to work."


"I was addicted to pain killers for about 8 years. I tried cold turkey and outpatient treatment. That worked for a while but I found myself right back. I heard about Suboxone. I found a Dr. (I had no insurance) and made an appointment. I won't lie to you, it isn't easy. You have to go cold turkey for at least 24 hours before you take the medicines, and then you feel a lot better. After a week or so I felt great! With this medicine I got my life back. It saved me. I was on it for about a year and half. One warning when you do finally come off Suboxone.. It's hard it's about a month withdrawal. Totally worth it in my opinion."


"Was on this for about 3 months. First few days I had some coordination issues, which I was warned about, probably on the 4th day something kicked in and I felt wonderful. I have very bad social anxiety but on that day I was not afraid of anything, I felt any goal that I had always wanted to pursue I suddenly could, and even if I failed, I would deal with it.

My only fear that day was that this would be temporary, and sadly, it was. The next day I took it, and I got only the slightest hint of what I had the day before, the tiny effect maybe lasted for the next couple days, then nothing, I kept taking it, thinking it might somehow kick in after time, but then I started to notice I was gaining lots of weight I stopped."


"As soon as you get your first outbreak you need to start taking this immediately. The outbreak will only get worse without it and last for weeks. My first outbreak was heart wrenching. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But once I started taking the medicine my symptoms rapidly improved. I probably get less than one outbreak a year but when I do have one I take this immediately and it knocks it right out."


"Was prescribed this med for cough and it did absolutely nothing except made my head hurt horribly bad and my throat tickle, which made the cough worse. "


"I am second day of this medicine and am considering stopping it altogether. I take 100mg of Morphine x2 daily and am currently miserable on Movantik. Whatever comes out of me is pretty much all liquid after it woke me multiple times to go to the bathroom after resting from severe stomach pain. I am now going to the bathroom a minimum of every hour for all 24 hours. I never thought a drug could make me so sick. I am in so much pain and so nauseous. I am going back to Miralax, at least with that I know the minimum side effects on Miralax."


"I've been taking Compazine for years for nausea due to stomach problems. I have never had any side effects and it completely gets rid of my nausea. Best antiemetic for me."


"I was using the Nuva ring after a tubal ligation to control my periods. They had been really heavy and it was great at doing that. 2 yrs in I had a pulmonary embolism and nearly died. Something I now realise was probably from the Nuva ring. Massive class action in the US over this. I didn't realise at the time. I went of it 3 months ago and have not regretted it at all. Libido returned to normal after so long. My husband was beginning to get annoyed. Not only that just feels better during sex without it."


"I have been on the shot 11 years and until a month ago, never 1 period or even spotting.  A month ago, dark brown blood, awful odor, & now I have had  a full blown period for 2 days. Not sure what to think.  I have continued the shot all of these years only because of the absent monthly."


"I took 60 mg of accutane for almost 6 months and I had moderate to severe acne.  Did help my acne tremendously and though once in a while I still get a little pimple here and there, it is not to the severity of before taking the medication.  However the side effect was brutal: very dry skin, nosebleed , and a lot of hair shedding.  I say the hair shedding was the worst side effect of the medication because I was shedding hair during the medication and even after I stop taking accutane, I developed telogen effluvium which cause more shedding for three more months.  Eventually the shedding stop and everything went back to normal.  Yes this medication is effective for treating acne but be cautious of side effect."


"I have had knee surgeries on both kness. I snapped 3 out of the 4 ligaments, including my ACL and torn meniscus on both knees. The surgeries have helped but I still have severe pain in both knees. I was started on Vicodin ES, was taking up to 3 pills a day for about 9 months. The Vicodin started wearing off after about 2 hours and the maximum amount you can take are 5 per day. Doctor switched me to Norco 10/325. So far I am able to control the pain by taking 1 pill upon waking and 2 after about 8 hours, when I'm not at work. I take 2 pills when working out on the elliptical or doing a lot of walking. Still have some pain after an active day but it is way more tolerable now. So far so good!"


"I have had very good results with Viibryd except that I think my memory is getting worse since I started this medicine. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere as a side effect, and it may just be that I am getting older.  I used to have a GREAT memory, what I called my best asset and worst fault at the same time, and I speak five languages, which is kind of a special class for an American."


"This was my first time on birth control. At the beginning typical symptoms occurred such as nausea and spotting, but after a couple of weeks these symptoms faded away. I didn't have a problem with acne before occasionally it will flare up when my period was about to come or stress, but I noticed that it has cleared up my face and my back significantly. I rate this birth control a 5 because even though it has helped preventing pregnancy and regulating my period, every month I would get a yeast infection. The yeast infection got so bad that my doctor had to prescribe medication for it to go away Monistat as a treatment was out of the question. I was on this pill for four months."


"Far more help than over the counter Tylenol/aspirin products."


"I have been treated for plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) in my foot for 8 weeks - having several painful shots with little relief.  I have only taken 3 doses of the Voltaren and I am feeling 90% pain free! I hope this will only improve with a little more treatment. I have had no noticeable side effects as of yet."


"I'm 22 and i started this pill exactly a month ago. I'm about to start my 2nd pack this evening. I bled all month long and with the last 4 pills I didn't even spot or cramp. So I am a little concerned. I am definitely going to take a test before I start this new pack but other than the bleeding that has now stopped I have notice my skin is MUCH better. I used to break out on my face chest and back and now its barely noticeable. I (reluctantly) got on the pill because of very painful ovairian cysts. I do feel pain here and there but NOTHING like I had before. When I was 16 I got on the nuvaring and was on that awful thing for 5 years. I got off it and lost 30 pounds!!!! and I'm a petite person. But other then the spotting I love it!!"


"For many years, I have not been able to eat out and hardly any restaurant.  In either 15 minutes or up to a few hours depending on where I ate, I would get extremely nauseous and have a diarrhea attack, this after I got extreme swelling in my stomach and belly.  I just discovered by accident that if when I took`Gas-X strips, I either did not get any symptoms or they were mild.  I have been able to add a few good restaurants to places I can eat, (when before it was only at home)  Eating at most fast food restaurants is still a no-no due to MSG and similars.   Taking them 20 min or so before eating produces the best results.  My son found similar results for himself."


"I have been fighting hep c for six years first when I was 51 I almost died from interforon and riboviron. OMG don't do it I know now we have so many better medications that will cure it. I was on epclusa for a month showed no virus and I panicked went off back at the end of Feb. Recently I went for blood work to find no virus this is four months after I went through treatment please pray it's over and I am cured
 Doctor said if it stays that way for three more month my chances are really good! I will keep in touch and pray for all of you."


"I started out taking 0.5 mg of Klonopin at bedtime. Within 30 minutes or so, my restless leg syndrome symptoms would worsen immensely and my legs would keep me up all night (until 8am on several occasions). We tried increasing the dose to 1 mg then 1.5 mg and this lessened the RLS symptoms but came with some pretty heavy side effects. I lost much of my balance and became clumsy and slightly confused. "


"My 15 yo son who has innattentive ADHD was taking adderall since 7th grade.  He is now in 10th.  For the longest  time  he has been having anger issues, he is easily  irritated by other students talking in class, noise on the bus, and his  7 year  old sister.  I was desperately searching online for meds to help with anger with ADHD and asp and found this site. Reading all the  comparisons of adderall and dexedrine, others having the same situation and most improving on the dex I hoped  that his problem was the adderall.  Went  to the doctor told her all of the above.  She seemed a little skeptical about it but was willing  to give it a try.  I don't  want to jinx myself or my son but so far so good even helped sister with homework."


"Although this medication did bring my sugars down a bit and my tastings incredible I had to stop taking it because of constant yeast infections. I thought I could toughen it out but after being on it for three months and no sign of the infections going away my doctor took me off of it. I have also notice my hair is so much thinner and falling out. My nails were also brittle and breaking. And make sure you drink plenty of water because it dehydrates you very fast"


"I have been dealing with chronic nausea/vomiting for almost a year. I have had every test in the book and they all come back negative. I've tried medications for irritable bowel syndrome and I've tried Phenegran and Zofran. None of which worked. I also used the transdermal Scoplamine patch, which helped a little. Finally, my doctor prescribed Compazine suppository and I have had great relief of my nausea/vomiting. I hope to be able to stay on this for a long time. It is a wonder medicine."


"I have taken several depression medicines over the last six years.  All with limited results.  My entire body started hurting so bad, fatigue, headaches and broken sleep at night.  I begged my doctor trying me on Cymbalta because it helped a friend with similar symptoms.  My pain was almost gone in a week and completely gone in two.  I never realized how bad my pain was until it was gone!  I take it at night because I get very sleepy within a few hours. I sleep great and wake up pain free and fully rested.  It has helped my depression but not to the extent it has taken away all my pain.  I did feel slightly nauseous on and off for a few weeks.  My appetite has diminished which has helped me lose 10 pounds."


"I've been put in this tablet in place of gliclazide to help with weight loss. It is helping but have been told my blood sugars are up but their giving me another 3 months on them to see how I go"


"I was on this medecine for at least 10 years- from age 21 after a psychotic type illness in mental hospital with depression and anxiety but no active symptoms of schizophrenia. the dose of around 5- 10 mgs nightly it had very adverse effects on me, such as memory loss--- of events, conversations , visual memories of places recently visited, extreme fatigue after sexual activity/erectile disfunction and great difficulty in concentration for reading, following tv programmes etc
Was switched to Modecate depot injections from 1980- 1998 with similar severe  adverse side-effects---.with atypical new medecines added on 2nd admission;namely Amisulpride--  dropped 25 mgs of Modecate injections on own volition,   totally cured now on 50 mgs amisulpride"


"My GP recommended I have this injection, replacing Evista.  I've had only one injection in February 2017. About three weeks later, I had terrible ear/jaw pain and went to the doctor. She diagnosed a sinus/allergy infection and gave me meds for that. It did clear up. However, after reading more about Prolia later I found out that one of the side effects is jaw pain. Also, since I had the injection I have had continuous itching of the face and excessive hair loss, which I also read are side effects.  I am scheduled for another injection the end of August but I am going to cancel and will not have another injection. I don't know what the benefits would be but don't think they are worth the irritation. Will consult again with my GP."


"I have used this medication for about 8 years and without it I don't sleep. I wake every night without fail and it takes me hours to get back to sleep. This medication can be taken before bed or in the middle of the night as it's out of your system in about 4 hours. I become very relaxed in about 15 minutes upon taking it and able to rest peacefully."


"Only helps slightly with my degenerative disease but works far better than Tylenol."


"Been on this medicine about 9 months after discovering my thyroid was starting to malfunction. I have had no weight gain or mood changes, and not a problem to speak of. My hair stopped falling out so much, it started growing like crazy along with my nails. I know I metabolize food more quickly, I will spare you the details. My skin isn't as dry, and I have been having an easier time with my mood in combination with other medications."


"I had Nexplanon inserted Oct 26th 2016. I haven't had a period since December, which will always worry me. Plus side I haven't had any reasonable weight gain from insert. Downsides are the depression, mood swings, and my acne (I haven't had since high school) came back. I haven't lost sex drive. But I have pregnancy symptoms (per usual for most BC's). The biggest concern for me is getting no periods at all. Eventually if mood swing/depression worsens I will probably have insert removed with my GC."


"You still have to get turned on, but once you're turned on you're  GOOD TO GO.  The only thing that sucks about this medication is the cost!  You can get one free prescription (depending on the dosage and amount of pills your doctor gives you) but thats it!  I'll be switching off of this medicine "


"I had a negative reaction to Dilaudid after a surgical procedure.  It made me itch horribly and my mouth broke out on the inside.  I had to stop taking it after two days when the palms of my hands and bottom of my feet were itching like crazy.  I was then prescribed Ultram which made me so nauseous I had to go to bed.  I finally just quit the pain medicines after four days and coasted along with ibuprofen until I was over the surgery completely."


"Works well at the right dose.  I am not afraid to drive now and I don't zone out at work anymore.  That being said it is really a shame that it is entirely too expensive and I won't be able to continue taking it.  With my insurance, it is still about $190 per month or 3 house payments a year for me! WOW!"


"I am 45 years old, on Mirena last 15 months. Gained 20lbs while watching what I eat and exercising during that period and also experienced hair loss, depression, water retention and bloating. My periods are lighter, but it is not worth of all side effects."


"I've been plugged up literally for years and had found no relief until now. I had tried everything from frequently rinsing my sinuses with a neti pot system, to prescriptions such as Nasonex, warm/moist heating pads, other over the counter medicines, etc. At this moment I feel pretty great. I took my first Mucinex D tab yesterday late afternoon and my second one this morning. My nose feels completely clear, the pressure behind my eyes is gone, my head feels normal for once....even my ears feel less plugged and are not clicking and popping nearly as much as usual. I'm surprised I have not had the insomnia and jitters that it seems most others have experienced. No unpleasant side effects so far. I highly recommend this! The relief is worth the $$."


"I have been on pain medication for 10 years. I was in a horrible car accident and then later diagnosed with fibromyalgia. You know... That made up diagnosis where everyone treats you like you are crazy and you don't have chronic pain. I lived month by month, growing a ridiculous tolerance to pain meds, and popping them like candy to get through the day. I was ashamed of my opiate use and tried many times to stop. Only to be in terrible pain that made me beyond miserable. My whole body hurt. Every muscle, every bone. Finally I researched Gabapentin and asked my doctor to take me off all opiates. I stopped the opiates cold turkey...after 10 years of them. The gabapentin worked after 2 days. I am pain free and so thankful. It is amazing!!"


"No improvement at all, I have been using this drug for 10 weeks and my condition is only getting worse. I did develop inflammatory bowel syndrome while taking Taltz. I thought I should stay on this drug for the initial 12 week therapy, but with no improvement, I will discontinue use."


"My parents took me in for testing in 5th grade because of lacking in school, failing at best. A few years later in high school I went to my therapist for extreme anxiety and my PCP diagnosed me with ADHD. I was put on strattera at age 16. Worked amazing almost right away. My only side effects were extreme dry mouth for a few weeks and loss of appetite . I also lost about 20 pounds. Which I was pleased with because I've always struggled with being over weight. I was doing better in school.  Being able to focus on papers and projects and for the first time even doing my homework and turning it in on time. My self confidence grew tremendously also. I made better eating choices and wasn't anxious. Now 25 and starting again! No side effects so far"


"I've used NuvaRing for over two months now, and when I first started using it I had stomach pains (like cramps) for two days, but since then nothing. I can't feel the ring, neither can my partner, and it has never fallen out. Slightly dryer than usual, but not disturbingly. Other than that, I'm completely normal; no acne, no mood change, no weight gain, nothing. I love it.a"


"I have been on Trazodone for about 5 years. I started at 25mg and have gone up as high as 150mg. Before taking Trazodone I needed wine to fall asleep. I could not sleep. I suffered from bad insomnia and anxiety. I took a mixture of Klonopin and Trazodone prescribed by my sleep dr.
It is a wonder medicine. Since starting to take it 5 years ago, I have had about 2 nights where I couldn't fall asleep in 15 minutes.
One thing to note: when I used to be on my phone/ipad before bed, I had a hard time falling asleep with it. Once I started reading before bed, I would take the med, read and pass out in 15 mins or so. No night wakings. I would allow yourself at least 7 hrs of sleep after taking the med."


"I have been on every ER pain medicine except for methadone. OxyContin is changing my life drastically for the better. I can now walk longer distances, help around the house, play with the kids and much, much more.

In short this medicine is a life changer. I switched from fentanyl which always made me tired and grumpy. God bless my patient wife.

I have a new life and I'm so grateful!"


"I got tested and found out I got chlamydia from my ex boyfriend. It's been almost 2 hrs since I took it and I'm feeling nauseous. "


"I've been so interested to find out what others think about Elidel. I've been suffering with eczema all my life. I was recently given Elidel to try but I literally want to rip my skin off after I apply it. It makes my face so hot and painful! Such a pity because I know it's suppose to be great! Anyone else feel this?"


"I started experiencing side effects right after I took my last pill. I was prescribed 500mg 2x daily for 14 days. This was the first drug my urologist prescribed for prostitis. Now 3 days later foot and leg pain. This drug should not be used as the first option. It should be used only for severe issues. I misplaced my pamphlet so I I was unaware of the dangers. It should be a requirement that a FDA black box drug should be marked on the bottle with details in the pamphlet. I would have never taken this drug had I read what the possible side effects were. Sad part know one knows how to treat the side effects and they could be permanent."


"I am a 52 year old male and have been battling depression for 30 years.  Back in 1980 tricyclics and MAOI's were the only treatment of choice.  Since 1987 when Prozac hit the market I went on that.  My depression episodes are brought on by stressful events. Depression also runs in the family.  After 5 or 6 different episodes Prozac no longer worked for me.  So I tried other SSRI's such as Paxil, Zoloft and lastly Celexa which made me worse.  My new physician prescribed Cymbalta which is an SSNRI which I have been on for 4 days at 30 mg and 1 day at 60mg.  Prior to starting to take Cymbalta I had suicidal thoughts.  In 5 days those thoughts have subsided and have a little more energy.  Still have trouble in the morning.  "


"Before you take Sprix, check out the patient instructional video.  It was very helpful on how to take Sprix correctly.  The most important thing to remember is that it is a NON-INHALED Nasal Spray Pain Medication.  Yes, Non-Inhaled.  You must breath through your mouth the whole time and spray mist away from the middle of your nose. I used it for my lower back pain.  Felt relief within 40 minutes.  Love the medication.  Beats going to the Emergency room at 3am in the morning.  Just remember to watch the video."


"I've only had this in for 2 days now, but so far so good. I'm 17 and have not had any children. Putting it in really didn't hurt much for me, just felt like a bad period cramp. I didn't get any cramps after like my doctor said. I have had a brownish discharge since I got it. I have really subtle cramps right now, but not enough to even take a Tylenol/Advil."


"My Psoriasis started in my sophomore year in college (1985). Every year, my condition has gotten progressively worse. I've tried everything from PUVA, steroids, coal tar, Methotrexate, Enbrel, Humira & more.  I've had success with the biologics, but got very ill with sinus infections on both Enbrel and Humira (so bad that I got vertigo and had to go to hospital via ambulance). I took 2 years off and now just started Stelara (had my "booster" second shot yesterday).  My dermatologist is shocked how I've cleared already!  This is a miracle and any person out there who can take it, should.  I'm also sleeping so much better during the night-- not scratching in my sleep!  Good luck and hopefully one day, we'll have a cure for this dreadful disease."


"I have lots of friends who love Nexplanon and have done very well with it. Unfortunately I cannot relate. I got it put in 2 months ago and have thrown up mutiple times a day, every single day since it was put in. After the first month I finally figured out the system.. I get sick anytime my stomach is empty. So even if I'm not hungry yet but I haven't eaten anything in a couple hours, I'll throw up. And there's no nausea or really any warning.. I'll gag out of nowhere and I have about 30 seconds to get to a toilet because it comes right after the first gag. In order to prevent myself from puking all the time I've had to implement a strict eating schedule. I have to snack every 2 hours. Not surprisingly, I've gained weight because  of this."


"Hallucinations, nausea, irritability and exhausted"


"Hi everyone,
Dealing with knee osteoarthritis for years. Pain got so bad that I could only do minimal exercise and was waking up from pain. Ibuprofen does help, maybe a 50% pain inhibition taking 6 pills a day. With Celebrex, 200mg/ twice daily, I am having about 90% pain reduction. I am now biking daily, no problem going up and down stairs. This is a miracle drug. Not a cure, but close!"


"I have a long history of IBS-D, which has grown worse in the past few years after undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.  The diarrhea has become severe and daily, and without lomotil, I could rarely leave my house.  It has helped tremendously, and I don't seem to have any significant side effects.  I try to take no more than one pill a day, in the morning, and it usually keeps me diarrhea-free until late afternoon, depending on what I eat for lunch.  Some days, it holds me all day.  I am very grateful for this drug, because nothing else I've tried has worked at all."


"I got mirena to help my endometriosis . I no longer have pain, no longer have headaches that the pill gave me . The iud has made my life so much better and easier . I spot occasionally and have a very light period it's very nice !"


"I have been taking Lexapro since May of 2014 for OCD and mild depression. It has helped me leaps and bounds! I was able to get my moods level again and regain control over my life. Started out taking 20mg but have been down to 10mg for about a year. Currently tapering off.

The one downside, the only reason I can't give it a rating of 10, is because I've gained 25lbs while taking it. I am/have always been very active and eat primarily healthy, yet continued to gain weight. No matter how active or strictly I stuck to a meal plan, the weight would not budge. But it was still worth it to get me out of the dark place I was in."


"I love taking seasonique, I spotted on and off for the first three months after starting this birth control pill and after that I never had an issue with it. I have been on this since March 2011. My periods are also so light that they are barely noticeable and last three days tops, so I really only have my period for 12 days a year. That is perfectly great by me. However I recently decided to stop taking birth control as I have not been sexually active and do not plan to be anytime soon and since I stopped taking this is in April 2015 I have gained 15 pounds regardless of working out 5x a week and limiting my diet and my diet has only improved over the last five years."


"Helps my depression very well. Keeps me leveled out. Calms me down."


"I suffered from adult cystic acne well into my 40s.  I did not have many of them but when I did develop them, they were large, under the skin and very painful.  I have been on .025% Tretinoin for a few years now and I have little to no breakouts now."


"Tried it many time, even use it as a preventing fact, still got them and it didn't make them heal any faster, the bottle is package to look bigger than it actually is. I think its a total expensive scam!"


"I took Vyvanse 50mg for about 4 months. As I started the medication everything was going great and I was focused. However, I was an emotional wreck while on it. People at work thought I was going crazy because I was angry at silly things, which is not my personality at all. Vyvanse seemed to work good in the mornings but wore off around 1pm. I took it around 7:30am. The medication really depends on what you eat. 12 hours is not true for me. I don't know about you but I don't have time to make sure I eat this type of food for dinner and this type for breakfast just so my my medicines will work. Some days the Vyvanse would not work at all and I didn't get anything done. Vyvanse also caused hair loss and turned grey. I'm 25 yrs old."


"Update: Otezla is not working now like it did at first. My left hand is better but,  my right regressed and is splitting in multiple places. Both feet, horrible flare now, thick peeling and lesions. My face now has spots where it didn't prior to Otezla. Headaches, migraines and nausea are very common. How disappointing."


"I have been on Zoloft, Cymbalta, Effexor and they all stopped working at one point. My Dr then prescribed Brintellix. The only thing this medicine did for me was kept me hungry. I could be eating a meal and started to think about my next meal. I had a bad case of dry mouth, my eye sight started to deteriorate and I gained 12 pds in 5 months. I am now off Brintellix and on a different medicine."


"This medication worked well to keep my cluster headache pain to a minimum.  I found it did not work well when the cluster lasted longer than 2 weeks."


"This is the first birth control I've ever been on. I am currently near the end of my third week. I was hesitant to try it because of the reviews. However, the only side effects I have noticed (so far), the first week I got a small break out on my face that cleared up within two days. My breasts have gotten a bit larger and this week (3rd) I have some mild breast tenderness. That's about it. No weight gain yet, no moodiness, didn't seem to affect my libido. But it's only the first month, so we'll see if anything changes. Seems good though."


"I have been suffering with hyperhidrosis ever since I was in grade 8. I could never wear any other color but black and wearing big sweaters would even be a issue. I tried all the shelf clinical brands but nothing seemed to work. It went on all these years and when I started college studying vet medicine and had to wear light blue scrubs I knew this would be a issue and something had to be done! My doctor recommended this to me and I can honestly say I have never been happier! It says on the bottle to apply daily but i find one application works for a few days! Totally recommend this!!"


"I give it a 7 bc its the most effective for diverticuitus. Came out of hospital last week I had diverticulitis with perforation. Im on day 5 of flagyl and honestly would rather be in the hospital. The nausea and stomach pain is unbearable. Even with food I have to take zofran keep from vomiting. My head also hurts, im past exhaustion but cant sleep, and the diarhea is awful."


"I was prescribed the 500mg pill 1x a day for 3 days (for my sinus infection). I took pill #1 at 2pm with my lunch. By 5pm, my stomach started to gurgle and groan. By 6pm, the diarrhea started. It was awful! I say it's a nightmare second only to the colonoscopy prep kit I had six months ago! I must've been on the toilet 6x in an hour and a half. I was cold, shivering, nauseated, and exhausted.

I'm absolutely not continuing this treatment.

:("


"My Dr. made it sound like the greatest thing I could ever do for myself. The procedure ended up being way more painful than I'd been prepared for, then I had 3 days of unbearable cramps (I could barely move). About another 3-4 weeks of increasingly less severe cramps. Since then, I've had no real periods but a lot of unpredictable spotting and light bleeding, as well as cramping, that lasts for upwards of 3 weeks on end, sometimes with only one week in between. I've also completely lost my sex drive and have been feeling overwhelmingly emotional for the last few months, on the verge of tears constantly (how I used to feel for about 2 days before a regular period). Been 5 months and I want it OUT. This is HELL."


"I cannot find any medicines to work for me. Was on Viibryd 10mg for two weeks and then went to 20mg for a week and a half. I broke out in a rash for 3 days then it went into hives. Ended up in an Urgent Care, recieved cortisone shot and prednisone. Doctors think it is from Viibryd because I have not tried anything new or done anything differently. Now I'm on my second prednisone pack because they have come back.  "


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"The following problems occur when taking Eliquis:
First I want to mention that I am also on Sotalol since 2008 (taken alone no side effects) 80mg am and 40mg pm.  It seems as if most drugs that i try out have an effect on the Sotalol although the register says that there is no inteaction between those drugs. Beside it runs in the family that most of us (3) have a problem with almost any drug
Eliquis:  headache, restless heartbeat,  perspiring, dizziness and physical instability, general weakness and shaky legs,etc.
Generally unhappy"


"It increased my milk supply but also made me quite drowsy.  Had to discontinue use after 8 weeks.  Found another drug that worked better without the side effects, Motilium (domperidone)."


"Awesome information."


"I started Fastin 30mg from my doctor on May 19 2014. You need to change your lifestyle not just pop a pill and be done with it. Because if you don't change, the weight will return. I started at 285lbs in one month I lost 25lbs and feel great. I changed myself with habit changes and exercise. I told myself that when this weight is gone it's staying gone, so I change my lifestyle and you can do the same."


"I've been on this birth control for about 2-3 years I would say, it is great for preventing pregnancy, but it has made my period weird, it stopped my period for 5 months, and stressed the hell out of me, I do feel incredibly tired taking this pill, and my sex drive isn't as high as it use to be before this pill. I'm deciding I'll probably be going off this pill."


"Just finished dosaging, I waiting for results"


"At first this was a really good experience, I have been on 2 different generic birth controls previously starting when I was 15 for regulating my period (I'm 21 now) and when I started Lo Lo it only took a month to regulate, and my periods only lasted 3 days. I had little negative change in mood swings and sex drive was average. But after a few months I started getting terrible vaginal dryness making sex uncomfortable. And after EVERY period then on I got a mild yeast infection. I was getting one every single month after only experiencing one before in my whole life. I knew it was the LO Lo. My gyno said it was probably not the Bc but I switched and after 2 months on the new stuff I was no longer getting yeast infections. Wouldn't recommend."


"I was prescribed this medication after I started to twitch on the left side of my body from my toes to my face because of Abilify.   I was prescribed 5mg a day and it caused extreme short term memory loss and clumsiness.  After a few weeks taking it I started to get sick to my stomach and get a horrible headache.  Now I take a quarter of a 5 mg tablet as needed and my doctor reduced my Abilify from 15mg to 2mg and I'm doing much better."


"Co Q-10 is a dietary supplement which must be used when Lipitor is taken. This combination will protect vital body organs (the liver)."


"I took this on March the 7th, after having a condom break. My gynecologist is the one who suggested this pill. I took it about 12 hours after the broken condom, so I was well within range. At first, I was nervous thinking about the worse case scenario. Within one week of taking the pill, I noticed a brownish type of discharge. I had heard about this from other reviews so I wasn't too worried. Then for the next four days, my body felt very premenstrual. Then today, I got my period. It is a week early, but I will take it. I would recommend this to anyone needing emergency birth control. It is $50 but well worth it. You have to get it from the pharmacist with an ID. Just one pill. I will definitely be going back on the pill full time!"


"I got Nexplanon in November. Started my period right away. My period lasted until March. The only reason it stopped was because my gyno put me on the pill WITH the Nexplanon for a month. Using that method it kind of "reset" my period so NO MORE BLEEDING! I love the Nexplanon because it is easy! But if you are having trouble bleeding I recommend trying to go on the pill too just for a month. You will be period free while on the pill, then have a period for a week, then be done bleeding!"


"I'm on birth control but was paranoid and took this plan b pill my body was very hormonal and my nerves were very bad. I went with my gut and decided to take the pill even tho I was safe on my birth control patch but insisted and took the pill for this last couple of weeks my body was going nuts !! But I must say my period came exactly the same date it comes every month on 4/22 ... I got my period ladies so I must say go with your gut when your in doubt and also believe and trust in your birth control. My period is very heavy from the pill and I have body aches and headaches and acne like crazy !!! But I will not be using this pill no more to much side affects I will be sticking with my patch like I always have been !!!"


"I wish I could rate this medication a 0 - this nearly killed me. Too bad this site only allows you so many characters because I wish I could tell you my whole story of this medicine but will have to give you the highlights - I gave it a good 4 months before going off and I only got worse everyday. New symptoms I did not have - severe depression/ suicidal thoughts, pain and tingling, blurry vision, brain fog, panic attacks, couldn't think straight, just a general "off" feeling, like I wasn't all here. I have been off 6 months and a far cry from where I was, but still even some lingering symptoms - this made me WAY WORSE THAN I EVEN WAS BEFORE I STARTED IT - DON'T GO ON THIS MED - Also, check out a documentary on meds"


"Used Jubia for about 4 months, and all I can say is amazing amazing amazing. I've had toe fungus for 12 years, and nothing ever worked. I had it on every single toe, and they were all severe, painful, and inflamed all the time. Some of the nails took a little longer than others, but 100% success! This product clearly doesn't work for everyone, but anything is better than liver killing meds. If you have the means to try it, TRY IT. It is an expensive product, but there's a 50 50 chance it could work!"


"I started itching so I knew I had a yeast infection even though I didn't have any discharge. My yeast infection most likely came from the pfb chromobright (ingrown hair treatment and skin lightener) which is actually pretty great. So yesterday I purchased the Monistat 1 ovule treatment & didn't use it until this morning. All was well until about 1 hour later. Baby when I tell you I could barely stand up because my vagina was on fire I didn't know what to do "
