"I smoked for 48 years and like most smokers, quit more times than I can remember. I finally got tired of smoking and failing to quit and decided to give Chantix a try. Thirty days later, all the cravings were gone. That was two and a half years ago.
     Yes, I did have very vivid, cosmic dreams. I also found that giving up the habit, that is those times in the day when I would routinely "light up and live" was sometimes difficult. That much said, I am so very happy that I made it and am no longer a smoker.
     Bottom line, no free lunch here. But the end result is worth it and then some."


"Have been on it for 10 years and have had some activity but no major episodes. Downside:  long term anemia and resulted in avasular necrosis and had to have my hip replaced"


"This is my second mirena I have has in. No pain with getting it inserted and no periods for 10 years. I am now 50 years old and I'm overdue by 12 months to get it removed. Going in October. Is has been the best thing for me and I would recommend it to anyone with terrible bleeding I couldn't cough sneeze without have blood all over the floor. Had to sit on the toilet for hours until the bleeding would slow down.  Best thing ever."


"34 y/o female on HBP meds since severe bacterial infection wiped out 3/4 of kidney function 5 years ago. Had been on 100mg/day of Metoprolol and it caused mind-numbing fatigue and fogginess, and frankly I realize now I was over-medicated. Doc switched me to 5mg/day Bystolic and I felt like a new woman overnight! No fatigue and only noticeable side effect (like someone else mentioned) was that it knocked back my libido some, which wasn't a terrible thing and isn't affecting me that much. I can get through a work day without taking a nap at lunch and actually have a life after hours now. I'm glad I took a chance on this med!"


"Like most others who use this medication, I find it very effective for pain relief. At over 500 lbs and with R/A, degenerative disc disease, blown out knees, ankles, back and severe shoulder and neck pain, etc. It is truly a God send. My pain level runs a solid 9 without my three 80 mg oxycontins, and eight Norco (when required) tablets, per day. With these the interpreted pain level drops way down to a three or four and I am actually able to experience a pleasant and rewarding life. My advise at 52 years old and after taking LOTS of pain medication over the years is to:  Always take exactly as prescribed. Never crush or chew medication and really try to take the minimum amount that works for you. Best wishes."


"I was prescribed 10 days of clarithromycin for a respiratory infection.  Since Day 3, I've been experiencing a lot of fatigue, abdominal swelling/discomfort/pain, intermittent diarrhea, constant severe heartburn, and a constant, nauseating taste that keeps me awake at night.  It's also triggered the worst asthma attack of my life (probably because of the heartburn).  Each day is worse than the previous day, and it's unlikely that my doctor will want me to suffer through the full course.  When my doctor and I are done treating this bug, we'll get to focus on treating the damage this drug caused."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am so glad I found this post.  I was reading all the comments as I was sipping this crap down.  It is absolutely horrible and disgusting.  The worst thing I EVER put into my mouth.  I poured the solution into a 32oz plastic drink container I had in the house and put ice in it and emptied bottled water that was really cold.   As I was drinking (sipping) it, I kept adding more bottled water to continue diluting it.  All in all, I poured 5 bottled watered into the cup and drank it all down.  Now I am waiting, so far, it is about 30 minutes and I feel some discomfort, but not bad."


"Okay so I got nexplanon September of 2015 2m pp I was breastfeeding at the time. Got my period for a week after insertion then nothing at all. Well then I get my period in mid May lasts for two weeks goes away for four days then bam started all over again. I have no other side effects except bleeding & it's getting on my last nerve. Im embarrassed to have sex with the guy I've been talking to because it will not stop. Before I got pregnant it was bad enough they always lasted for a week straight but this? I don't think I can handle it. I've ruined so many pairs of panties because of this. I'm over it. This will be month 8 of having it & ive loved it up until now."


"Does not seem to help much. Doctor is reluctant to prescribe something different. Viibryd worked very well but I can't afford the copay."


"Do not I repeat do not get this shot... this is my 3rd round and it has only got worse... I heard it was supposed to get better with time..first time I got it  & I bled for 2 weeks..  spotted in between.. second time I bled for a month... this time I have started bleeding and it hasn't stopped here in a few days it will make 3 months..."


"I took Zoloft consistently for about three months and it was the hardest three months of my life. It made my depression significantly worse. I thought if I stuck with it for a while it would eventually help me but it didn't. It did help with my anxiety though. As soon as I stopped taking any antidepressant my anxiety sky rocketed and I was able to beat my depression by finding God. I hope this helps whoever is reading this. Stay strong."


"First time ever starting birth control and the reviews on here scared me! SO glad I decided to tough it out! I've been taking it for 4 months and the only symptoms I have had are a little more emotional outburst two days before my period (not that big of a deal, I was always prone to PMS emotional outbursts anyways) and breakthrough bleeding the first month. No weight gain, no acne (actually, less acne). I realize all women are different, but just thought I'd share my mostly pleasant experience with this pill! Oh, and of course...it works! Not pregnant!"


"I've been on this medication for a year and it seriously changed my life. I suffered from the worst anxiety attacks ever. I went to emergency room twice thinking I was having a pulmonary embolism. After taking this medication for 3 months I had never experienced anxiety. The only down fall is a few side effects such as, dry mouth, crazy dreams every night and my metabolism has slowed down. These side effects are worth it over the horrible feeling of not being able to function because I had such bad anxiety. Taking 50mg at bed time. Definitely recommend."


"I am writing this about my son...4 years ago is when the headaches started. As he got older they got worse and worse. His migraines would last 45mins to 2 hours long and have 4-5 headaches a day. He lost his job because of this terrible nightmare, couldn't do anything but stay home and deal with this terrible pain. He at that point had no medical insurance and I was desperate to find out what was wrong with him. I began to search for some kind of emergency help and called Valley Medical. Had a CT scan, and saw a Neorolgist and put him on Verapamil and he has no more headaches. Our nightmare is finally over and I want to thank Valley Medical for all their help with their wonderful doctors to help my son. Now he can live a normal, pain-free life."


"I had this birth control for about a year now at first I didn't have my period for 6 months now I have bleeding almost everyday my period last up to 2 weeks I gained a lot of weight and I can't seem to lose it no matter how hard I try I love that this birth control is good and it works but there is a lot of bad in it it causes mood swings a lot of bleeding I just don't know if this is for me I had the IUD before this that was a nightmare now I just gotta see what other birth control I could try that won't be making it take a pill everyday."


"This might sound weird, but apparently this isn't uncommon for this specific birth control. I have been on it for about 72 hours. Have gained 4 lbs (which is good because I'm 30 lbs underweight) and have almost increased a full cup size with my breasts. I had horrible period problems. when I got the Apri a few days ago I was going on a 3.5 week period. After about 3 hours since taking my first pill, the period fully stopped. Very big fan of Apri!"


"I was on Seroquel for 7 years when I had to start trialling something else due to weight gain. I was taking Saphris 3 weeks and I had a severe allergic reaction. Saphris was changing my life for the better and so I'm sad that I can't take it anymore. I had motivation, great memory & concentration, positive thoughts, ability to plan & function highly and loads of energy. I can't take the tablets anymore, but i'm going to miss how good they made me feel. Now I'm looking into Zeldox or Latuda. I definitely need an antipsychotic for my Bipolar."


"Was on this drug for about four years with Wellbutrin. The combination worked well for the first three years; however developed severe tremors and other side effects."


"It made me want to sleep all day and made me extremely nauseated. After a month of taking 40mg it didn't touch my ADHD and after a month of 60mg still nothing happened except the side effects. "


"I've tried many birth controls in the past few years and after taking microgestin for about a year now I can definitely say it is one of the better brands I have used. After reading other reviews I am glad to know that I am not the only one who has experienced extremely light periods and dryness during intercourse. For me, my last period didn't even come. While some might see no periods as a dream come true, personally it can really worried me. Despite using the pill consistently, I ended up taking a pregnancy test to put my mind at ease, but going forward I might consider switching again just so I can get that little extra reassurance. However all other side effects on this medication have been very minimal for me!"


"I am 68. I have pain in my back and legs every day which is worsened by standing or walking, so I sit almost all the time in my recliner.  I go to a pain clinic and have tried Morphine, Fentanyl, and Dilaudid.  None of these helped. In fact, at higher dosages they actually made the pain unbearable.  Percocet is the only med that works for me, and when I first took it I felt like it was a miracle.  I am prescribed Percocet 5x a day, Tizadine for spasms and Tramadol for breakthrough pain.  I can actually garden outside again and have once again become active.  I jjust hope I don't develop a tolerance because the doctor said this is as high as I can go, and I don't know where else I could turn.  Percocet has truly given me my life back!"


"I was on 50mg of Zoloft for the last 3 years, and it has somewhat reduced my panic attacks, but my depression has gotten much worse. My doctor suggested that I increase my dosage to 100mg, which I did. At this dosage I felt less depressed, but was much more anxious, more angry and starting experiencing manic states for the first time in my life. I do not have bipolar, so this was extremely concerning. I have been taking 3mg of Clonazepam daily with my Zoloft, but I only experience mania after increasing my Zoloft, so I can only suspect I had an adverse reaction"


"Vivid dreams, nightmares, night terrors, sleep paralysis, frequent awakenings during sleep, thought blocking, memory lapses, word retrieval problems, concentration. Sleep disorders eventually fade but they were certainly debilitating. After 200 mg my mother reported I had strange behavior a few times that I don't remember. Besides these side-effects it has a very noticeable effect on depression. I would risk all those adverse reactions for this pill. Saved my life."


"I've been on saxenda since Nov 14.
I am pretty proud of myself and I've lost 5 lbs. so far.
Since starting on saxenda I have been trying to exercise more.  I am a caretaker for my husband so I really have not been able to go to the wellness center 3 times a week to work out.  Maybe 2 times so far and right now I'm dealing with recovering from surgery myself.  I'm eating better but haven't gotten completely on a regular diet regimen.  I try not to stress about it and take it a day at a time. At least I'm losing and not gaining."


"It has really helped my condition. I used to have sudden jerks and involuntary leg movements until my Doctor prescribed them to me."


"16 years of bipolar1 all symptoms extremely difficult. Latter years mania faded to a all consuming depression.I fought it refusing to take antidepressants.it was to dark I gave in and tried Seroquel.it helped then I tried Latuda 20mg. helped immediately then to 40mg where I have been for 2 years,Thank and Praise God!!!"


"Ok, so I have been on the NuvaRing for quite some time. I tried pills, which I did not like because I could never take them consistently. I then tried the Depo shot, which I had an adverse reaction to. After this, I then tried the NuvaRing. My reaction to it was that I loved it. It's so easy to use, and I didn't have to worry about forgetting to take a pill. From my experience, I have never had any reactions to the ring....or so I thought. Reading through different threads I now have come to believe that the NuvaRing has diminished my sex drive. This is something I want back, so I will be talking to my doctor very soon."


"I found this drug very easy to take and has been extremely effective in reducing my A1C levels to normal.  We started with the larger dose and have now reduced it to the smaller one to see if there is any impact."


"Love it! Was prescribed 4x20mg to assist my member who had become noticeably disinterested in sex. Doctor suggested I initially take a half a tablet to monitor its affects. I've tried Levitra before but it caused serious facial flushing, stuffy nose, nausea and a feeling of unwellness for a couple of days.
The first day on which I tried a half a 20mg Cialis tablet very little happened. The most important thing to me was that it didn't make me feel unwell. The following morning I woke with a rock hard erection. I took the second half of the tablet later in the day and that night had a full hour of sex with my wife. In the end she was begging me to ejaculate as she was getting sore. It was a case of zero to hero! :)))"


"My son took this for a couple of years.  At first it was very effective, and I was excited to have a non-stimulant medication to treat his ADHD.  It did make him sleepy, and that was problematic, and then its effectiveness wore off.  "


"My daughter started this, she was tired and first but we moved it to a later time.  After two months we moved her up to 2mg as she was still unfocused. Well I haven't slept in weeks, she is up alot at night won't sleep in her room anymore. We switched to taking it in the morning and thought it was a faze, i will be making an appointment to talk to her pediatrician. It was our choice as a nonstimulant and im not going to put her on one. Hopefully there is something  else out there that will work as great during the day but not nightmares. We live in Canada and thankfully our insurance pays for it but that's not a reason to stay on it."


"I have bad back pain and this really works."


"It really works for my anxiety."


"I first took Modafinil for shift work, but I also took it for fatigue, and depression. It worked great for all those conditions. I'm in my 60's and when I was young Docs gave me real amphetamines to lose weight. Amphetamines are a nightmare compared to Modafinil. Even though they give me the 200 mg tab. I never take 200 mg at once. I always break them in half and take 100 mg at a time. The worst thing is if you take it too late you can't sleep. But you need to sleep with Modafinil and you also need to eat with it. You feel better when you do. I give it a 10."


"Wife is on this now for her 4th week  (800mg ) she has Soft tissue in Right Lung after mets from uterus. Leiomyosarcoma. (sp)  A month ago she was coughing   every 2 minutes, now not so much but she is tired has nausea and the headaches.  No appetite and when she ate solid food it would always come back up.  Now  her food consists of  4- 6 smoothies a day.  Got a Vitamix  after  many  recommended  it  on other websites on the internet.  You fellow patient who have gone before her and have reported  your experiences are the "only" thing that have kept her pressing forward.  She has large tumor in chest and it is hope that this will hollow it out or something. Her first Chemo GEMS/Taxol only worked for 3 months . Then it started regrowing"


"I was prescribed this drug for help with muscle spasms resulting from a problem in my neck. The associated pain was extreme and occasionally paralyzing. Combined with naproxen it was effective at reducing the pain and allowing me to sleep. In 6 months I have used precisely twelve 10mg doses out of a prescription of 30. Two initially to help control the spasms with occasional maintenance doses when I felt that a problem was imminent. I will not take this during the day because it promotes sleep and would affect my ability to drive. The only other side effect is a loose stool the following day, but it is mild."


"I had been on a different form of bc for several years, but apparently it was not as effective as I got older. My GYN prescribed Gildess to me and suggested I try it for a few months to see if the condition improved. I was on Gildess for a total of 5 months. I kept in mind that you must allow time (3 mos) for your body to adjust so although I experienced side effects from the start, I gave it a shot. I experienced uncontrollable mood swings and felt depressed and tired ALL THE TIME! The worst side effects though were the extreme headaches I experienced while taking this medication. I know everyone is different, but as for me... I would NEVER recommend this pill to anyone."


"With the panic attacks I get it seems Xanax works fairly fast, when I feel one coming on, or even when I am in the middle of one.  It calms me down, and I can cope.  I have taken it for several years, and have felt no side effects.  I am glad it is available to me."


"I give it a 5/10 because it worked for about 1-1/2 weeks and then I built up a tolerance (like I always do with all sleep medicines.. sighh..).  I was on 10 mg.  I bumped it up to 20 mg for about a week after the 10 mg lost its kick but still nothing.

I had very vivid dreams those 2 weeks.. it almost felt like I wasn't sleeping deep enough the dreams were so vivid.  But I had more energy during the day so it must have worked.  It was nice to have my schedule back to "normal" for about a month (staying awake during the day).  Now I've flip-flopped back to sleeping during the day again.

I'm a chronic insomniac.  My sleep specialist even jokes that I need a sledgehammer just to knock me out.  I've tried just about every pill both over the counter and prescription."


"I've been on Bydureon for 18 months, and used Byetta for 8 months before that.  I switched from the Byetta because I couldn't handle the digestive upset any more, but the results were amazing.  My a1c has come down to the 5.7-5.9 level consistently.  Fasting BG is in the 80s normally.  I haven't had any of the stomach upset with Bydureon.  The shots are a pain and I don't think I like the pen very much since I can't control the shot as well.  I tend to have leakage with the pen and sometimes hit a sensitive spot and it hurts.  But since I started taking this class of drug my health is so much better!  I've lost 95 lbs. and the health problems from diabetes have disappeared.  This could be a lifesaver for me!"


"I started this pill when I got my period about 2 weeks ago, but since have had spotting literally every single day. I know it's supposed to prevent pregnancy being a birth control pill, but I didn't realize the method was preventing you from having sex because of continuous bleeding? Questioning my doctors sanity for prescribing this pill."


"This stuff is horrible!!! The first gulp and I was ready to throw it up.  I didn't' thankfully not the first bottle anyway. It's like drinking poison.  Than with each bottle you have to literally sit on the toilet for 4 hours each because it takes forever for it to clean you out The second bottle I painfully downed but threw up shortly thereafter.  Than 6 hours after taking the last dose I still have diarrhea! This product should be taken off the shelves or might be more effective than  waterboarding. Do not take this, please ask for a gentler product.  I will never take this again!!!"


"Have had experience with several other antidepressants and so far Pristiq has had 0 undesirable side effects. No allergic response, no first week horrors, no insomnia, nothing awful what-so-ever. I feel optimistic, happy and no longer manic. Hoping to check back in a few months time to give further updates."


"I had no problem with hyperhidrosis until I passed the age of 40. Then it suddenly became a huge problem. Peri-menopause perhaps. I began sweating profusely and became very self-conscious about my body odor. I tried many different anti-perspirants/deodorants, including "clinical strength." They would work for a short time, then stop working. I mentioned this to my nurse practitioner and she suggested I try this. It really works! I will admit the itching/tingling/stinging is annoying, but worth dealing with to have dry pits! I used Hypercare for a few years, but recently was prescribed Drysol. They seem to work equally well and have the same side effects for me."


"I have taken this pill for years. It helped predict when my cycle would come and for how long. It was very short and light. Hardly ever had any cramps as well. It also did wonders for acne! I never realized until I switched birth control pills."


"I been taken this medicine and I am more active and more social with people."


"This is the best birth control. I got off my period before I got the Nexplanon since then small spotting. Every now and then I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I haven't had any cramps. With the Depo shot I had a period for 2 months, gained 40 pounds. Horrible I know. But I have actually lost weight, no cramps, no heavy flow. I'm so happy with this choice this is the best thing I have done!"


"I was on Oxycodone 5/325 for about two years and my Doctor switched me to 3 20 MG OC's a day.  i have been taking them for about 6 months now and I feel like a new person.  i have Chronoc Nerological lower back pain.  This drug has changed my life.  i am able to roll around the floor with my kids again and do many things I could not do in the past.  Great drug, but very addicting.  If you take this med, take it exactlt as the Doctor advises.  best pain Med out there.  I have been through them al"


"My mouth and teeth hurts so bad. I am on 70 mg I ask the  doctor he did not know and my dentist he didn't know. At bedtime I Am Still In Pain"


"I have been taking the generic zolpidem for 2 years without a problem. I love my Ambien, wake up without being drowsy. Have noticed a longer time frame before it kicks in, the longer I take it. If very anxious, can wake me after 4 hours. Overall a great medicine, and I am very sensitive with medications."


"Started Harvoni 6 days ago so far no side effects or maybe a little concentration problem at time. (Brain fog) not sure if thats part of it or just because I'm an old fart LOL.

3 weeks and only side effects is headache and feeling flushed at times.  I go in next week for the 4th tests I'm praying there is improvement."


"It has been a big improvement.  It is NOT perfect but it has been
so much better.    I went down to the  72mg and I do not take it every day.  The pain level during a constipation attack  has gone from a 10 down to a 3 or 4
Prior to Linzess sometimes my attack would go on for 2 days
now at most it is a few hours
Sometimes I will get an unbelievable diarrhea  attack  from the medication  so I have to stay home for a few hours after I take a capsule.  I try not to make any morning appointments and if I do I just do not take the medication"


"I was instructed by the office of my colonoscopy/endoscopy doctor to take 2 at noon and then another 2 at 2pm on the day before the procedure.  Since the manufacturer only recommended 3 as the daily maximum dosage, I just took one at 2pm.  About an hour or so later, I started having severe stomach cramps.  The pain was so intense I was soaking in cold sweat and I blacked out!  I will never take Dulcolax ever again!"


"Currently on 10mg of Lexparo 1 x a day to help mellow out my anxiety and panic attacks associated with postpartum depression. Was extremely effective, but the effect started wearing off after 2 months. The drowsiness I experienced from the medication was also getting unbearable. Doctor prescribed 150 mg Wellbutrin XL 1 x a day to be used in combination with the 10mg Lexapro. The idea was that it would increase my feelings of well-being while counteracting the drowsiness. Stopped Wellbutrin after 2 days. I experienced anxiety, sleeplessness, bad headaches behind my eyes, nausea and sour stomach. Probably should have given it more time to kick in. Will stick to Lexapro and just drink more coffee."


"Only little side effect I had was occasional graphic dreams, which actually were, on the most hand, quite enjoyable. Been smoker for 30  years and honestly can't even believe how easy it was to quite smoking using Chantix. I am really amazed. I have been a non-smoker for about 11 months now and have ABSOLUTELY no desire to go back. Thanks a bunch."


"Celexa really helped me get through my daughters death. I thought I could get through this on my own. I could not. My Dr. started me on 20mg. after 2 months I went to 40mg. and what a difference in my life. It will not take care of everything but it helps me with the depression. I feel so much better and can face the days ahead with a better outlook."


"I have suffered with panic all my life. Since taking Paxil I don't have them. If you run out the panic comes back. I've heard bad things about Paxil but it saved my life so its worth it."


"I have been on Aviane for about 3 weeks and the longer I've been taking it the less I notice certain side effects. The very first week was Hell. I had the worst mood swings of my life. I was contemplating switching but held on and powered through and now I haven't experienced them! The one thing that I complain about now is that my breasts are VERY tender and I've been a little bit more sleepy"


"Call me crazy but I think it worked after only one day. Only mild bloating/gas as a side effect. I'll finish it as prescribed but - seriously, it's fine. I took it with full meals and it worked like a charm!"


"Extreme drowsiness. Never felt quite this drowsy from taking a medication. I’m vomiting every hour or so, I feel so sick, I don’t even want to leave my bed. It seems to be working for my UTI however so that’s good. Maybe it’s meant to flush your system out which is why most people puke? Who knows."


"Monistat 3 days=worse nightmare.
I put the medicine in and out. At first I felt a burning in the urethra but then it spread everywhere. I laid in crazy horrible pain for 1-2 min. I went and washed as much as I could. Then the pain went down more than 50%.
I have done other anti fungal vaginal creams. This one, never again.
I had to lay down with legs opened and fan on.
I will see how I do in the morning."


"My mum started on Trulicity in November.   She felt nauseous almost from day one, bloated, tender stomach, diarrhoea,  gassy.  In mid February she went into A&E, then into intensive care with severe dehydration.  On March 6th, after 4 days back home, she died from acute pancreatitis.  I only found out cause of death today but already believed Trulicity to be the underlying cause."


"Living with a depressed husband and my parents passing within 16 months of each other threw me into two years of depression.  When I finally sought help, my doctor put me on generic Celexa.  Within a month, I felt a lot better; however, I was nauseous and woke up at 3am for the first 3 months.  I'm glad I stuck it out because after that, I was fine for about 2 years when it stopped working.  Over the past 3 years I have tried 3 other anti depressants but nothing has worked or they increased my blood pressure so my doctor suggested trying Celexa again.  I'm hoping I won't have the side effects this time but feel they are worth it for two years of normal living."


"Passed a 6 mm stone.  It was stuck for 4 days, I went to the hospital and was given Flomax and sent home.  It passed in 2 days.  It worked for me."


"I have been struggling with back pain for over 10 years. I have always tried to walk the line between managing my pain and becoming dependant. Over the past 6 months I lost control and became dependant. I was highly over using Norco and most recently methadone. I went into rehab last week and after a night of my skin crawling because the doctor wasn't in when I was finally admitted he put me on 8mg of sub. Within 30 minutes I felt much better. I took 8mg the 2nd day at 8am and felt some withdrawals at 8-9pm so I was upped to 12mg. Not only has it stopped my need for Norco it is helping with my back pain. Make no mistake suboxone is an opioid and you will become dependant on it but you can not abuse it because it is not effective over 24mg."


"Had this in since Nov 2014. Period disappeared for ~3 mo. & then it switched back & forth between every 2 weeks to every 2 mo. I've never been really good at thinking about when to expect it, so, this was more or less business-as-usual. Physically: Yes, I did gain weight, but this just motivated to me to dedicate time to exercise. Not the worst outcome. Emotionally: I didn't notice much of a change for the 1st yr, but then the 2nd yr I felt emotionally out of control. I've always been lactose-intolerant but never fully committed to a dairy-free diet. I finally did in that yr as I was reading papers that eating dairy can actually worsen symptoms of depression. Avoiding dairy all together fixed the issues & have been happy ever since!"


"I had a small cut under my left eye around my birthday (Dec 10th) which then progressed into a full blown swollen eye, it was so bad that I was up all night crying.  And not mostly because people stared at me, or didn't want to get "infected" by being too close.  My initial diagnosis was celulitis and that was an infection so I was not prescribed this medication yet.  It kept getting worse, and soon spread to the other eye.  I went to the Ophthalmologist and me gave me a steroidal eye cream after re-diagosing me with Contact dermatitis. It was hell for 3 full weeks. I went back to the doctor, this is now going on 2 months. She gave me this medication and in 1 day I could notice a difference. BUT the pills taste AWFUL like chewing aspirin."


"Pentasa has changed my life totally. Was going to toilet up to 10 times a day until I was prescribed this. Now I've got my freedom back. Brilliant! No side effects worth worrying about. Take 2 x 500mg slow release tablets twice a day."


"When I got prescribed Ambien I started with 5mg and it worked but I only slept for 4 hrs. So the following night I took 10mg and I was asleep in no time and got a full 9hrs of sleep. Best night ever in years. I woke up feeling refreshed. Minor headache but I don't know if it was due to the Ambien. 1 Tylenol pill took it away so no biggie. This is the only sleep pill that has helped me. I tried Restroil and Seroquel and got no sleep only bad side effects. I love Ambien."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Great medication for HIV...."


"I am 56 year old female with Severe osteoporosis and osteoarthritus .My Ortho and Gyno Dr.said My bones were so frail I had no choice but take forteo.I started in 2015 and after a few months of just over all weakness and being sick all the time low BP , I went to my PC Dr. After blood work he said your immune System has crashed get off the forteo! I was home bound had pneumonia etc. Now over a year later my bones went from -2.9 to -3.1 He finally agreed I have to get back on it so...I'm having sweats and sever stomach issues chills ache in my bones . Over all not well feeling .Has anyone had any of these  side effects? I'm happy for the ones who can take it with no side effects. !Hope this helps someone and maybe get answers. Blessings"


"Good"


"This was the second antidepressant I tried, worked great for a few months be then it went downhill fast. I stop shortly after it got really bad, however Prozac withdrawal is one of the most emotionally and physically challenging things I've ever done. I do not advise people with even slightly addictive habits to take this, I truely do not like this med, at all, but maybe it works for some people."


"The flu hit me out of no where but I knew what it was so I went straight to my doctor within 24 hours after experiencing symptoms. Since I caught it early, my doctor prescribed me Tamiflu. I started it right away and the first dose made me so nauseous, dizzy, and I experienced vertigo. I was considering stopping it but I had heard great reviews about it; I also had taken the first dose on an empty stomach. For the next couple of doses I made sure to eat something before taking Tamiflu. From doing this, I had no nausea or dizziness. It could be a coincidence but I think it really made a difference. It definitely shortened the duration of my flu."


"I have been on Celexa for five months.  Started at 20mg.  After three weeks, my anxiety went away.  I was no longer hesitant to leave my house, or afraid to make a simple phone call or check my email.  (I used to have to prepare myself mentally for an hour just to go to the grocery store, because the thought of getting dressed, stepping outside, driving the car, parking, etc., would overwhelm me.)  For a while I felt so good, better than ever.  I was free!  I felt "normal."  When I needed to go to the grocery store, I hopped in the car and did it with little thought or fear.  Felt great! But alas, five months later, now on 40MG, my anxiety is coming back, good times are over."


"I started out Valium for about 20 years 10 mg x 4 a day. Used for anxiety and sleep. It worked was a comfort to know most of the time used 2 per day so I always had extra. I think knowing I had extras help almost as much. Then Dr changed prescription to alprazolam 2 mg tablets 4 times a day, some heavy difference, at first it worked well . In the beginning I felt it 30 minutes after I took it and only needed 2 per day, now I'm at 4 per day that's 8 mgs and I don't feel it , I don't know about withdrawals but I hear it's pretty hard to get off and I've been on them for 30 years. Not sure what to expect but think I would feel more alert and energetic too"


"Was on synthroid for a year and noticed zero improvement. Got off it for a few years then started again and developed angina like chest pain out of nowhere when exercising. I felt tired and miserable as always. Begged my doc to Rx naturethyroid. After being on it 3 months I realize how much better I feel. No more waking up feeling like crap, no more muscle aches, no more fatigue. Headaches have improved drastically. More energy to work out. No puffy creased eyes when I wake up in the morning. Appetite is good again and I can eat what I want again while maintaining my weight just fine. I am 5,8" and 135 lbs and only exercise twice a week but am able to eat 2000 calories a day, sometimes more, and have gained no weight. Just like old times!"


"It works well to control frequent urination but I'd rather keep changing my underwear than put up with the side effects - chemical castration, blurry vision, dizziness, imbalance. Now into second month with the hope that symptoms would abate. Instead they continue to get worse. Absolutely NOT worth taking."


"We cruise 2 or 3 times a year and this medication has made it possible for me to enjoy it.  The first 2 were several years apart because I got so sick on the first one. The second one I was sick only one day and the infirmary gave me some samples of meclizine. Within hours I felt great and now I start taking meclizine the day before we sail until the day after we get home.  I have had very few issues, a little "queasy" when in VERY rough seas, but never sick. For those few times, ginger ale has settled me right down.  I highly recommend this medication for anyone suffering from motion sickness."


"Average-- not satisfied -- symptoms continue"


"I have dizziness, and lightheaded most of the time.

On the other hand, my blood sugar is significantly lowered by about 90%. I still have work to do."


"Work's very well.  Using it for 6 months."


"Great and also losing the weight from the previous medicines I was on. Love it."


"I started taken testo gel 13 months ago. I'm a 31 year old male, I had a noticeable difference in the first 3 months, I felt more energetic, happier, less inclined to sit about, morning wood & got bigger, started losing weight, now it's been 13 months and things couldn't be better, really love this stuff. I'm on two sachets a day, rub them on my abdomen & is its free in the uk.  Can't believe how much u have to pay! No issues with pain whatsoever"


"Using Campral for 3 days now, unbelieveable! I have been drinking for 22 years nearly every day, I am astounded that Campral is not advertised in the same way as Champix for smoking. A very happy, but cautious customer. If you cant stop drinking, try it."


"I have been taking trulicity for 3 weeks my sugar levels are almost perfect,  and I am loosing weight , but who's sugar wouldn't be perfect and who couldn't loose weight if your sick the whole time. I can not tolerate this medication very disappointed. :("


"Disclaimer: Everyone's body is different so don't let this review deter you from trying it!!!!

Unfortunately, this birth control option was not right for me. I give it a five out of ten because of the ease of insertion, the ease of it being in the arm, how it does prevent pregnancy, and it hasn't triggered my aura migraines like the pill and NuvaRing has in the past. As some as the other reviews mention, menstrual changes and mood changes, and vaginal infections are my only problems. I haven't had intercourse with my SO in months due to the lengthy time (anywhere from 1-2 months) of the breakthrough bleeding. I seem more depressed than I ever have, and I have had explainable vaginal infections the first year of use."


"Helped with my recovery from being in Iraq."


"I don't recommend this med... Just two days of taking this and a severe headache every time. Gonna see my rhumy to change this med.."


"I never seen a medicine work so fast and been so efficient with cold sores."


"I have been bipolar my whole life and nothing has worked better than Lithium.  The side effects were quite minimal, feel queasy and difficulty reading because eyes jerk.  All went away after approximately 2 to 3 weeks."


"I have had a heart transplant. This drug has kept me alive for the last 18 months. Thank you. Fortunately I have suffered no side effects."


"The medicine did its job. It just gave me terrible nausea."


"I started taking Contrave 7 months ago they have worked wonders for me.  I have lost close to 60 lbs and still working on losing 60 more lbs . They really curb my appetite . They only bad thing is sometimes I can't sleep and that's one of the side effects. But I would definitely recommend them to someone  who is  wanting to lose weight."


"I've been on celexa for 3 years and just recently switched to Paxil ...for the short time I've taken Paxil I've noticed an overall improvement with my mood and willingness to go out and be social without having a few shots of whiskey to give me the kick I needed. I have a diagnosed panic disorder which is anxiety on steroids. I'm not sure just how well the Paxil will work months or years from now but I must say I'm feeling pretty good now."


"I have been on numerous pain medicines due to severe case of Crohn's disease. At 1st, I wasn't sure about this medicine but after taking it for a while, it has truly been a lifesaver for me. I like the fact its a non-narcotic medicine. I also suffer from problems with my sciatic nerve and it has made all the difference in the world.  Very inexpensive with my insurance and even very affordable without insurance.  Only thing I don't care about is the drowsiness, but you have to consider all the pain I have been through, a little drowsiness is something I can handle. I am so glad that the Dr gave me this to try."


"Long story: Of course I haven't had a colonoscopy in 4 years (but pushed for it) although this started started 6 months ago. Change in size of BMs, in the bathroom frequently, even though I've gone.I go between 4-8 x a day.  Sometimes it's like I'm on a bobsled moving side to side, back and forward trying to finish going. However not dry.So after an ER visit for abdominal pain on a scale of 1-10 it was 12! CT normal.  It finally started subsiding about 1/2 &r after 2nd shot of morphine. End up seeing useless PA yesterday who didn't want me to have the colonoscopy. He puts me on Linzess. OMG! I was working summer school and in the bathroom every 15 min all morning. A total of 14-15x!!! Why?  Am I on the wrong medication? Is it something else"


"I've had mine since April 2015, it's now October 2015, and 1 month after having implanon inserted I have been bleeding ever since. 7 months of period with only 2 weeks break from it! It's ridiculous! I travel for work it's so friggin annoying to have to worry about what plane seats are going to look like! I had this inserted purely for the fact I was over period pain (my family has bad ovaries so period pain is 1000x worse) I was aware there would be spotting and occasionally period, but jeez 7 months?? It's a really good method of birth control, you can't get pregnant, why? Because you bleed to much, so sex is out of the question."


"I've been on just about every antidepressant on the market and my doctor and I decided to try adjunct therapy with Seroquel to "boost" the effect of the Brintellix I take. I was really pleased to find it has a significant effect on my anxiety, which has always been a major component of my depression. While it didn't get rid of my depression, I feel better overall than I have in ages.

Downsides? It's expensive if you don't have good insurance. I get a 90-day supply for $80. It also will knock you the heck out. I have to take mine before 6 p.m. or I will have great difficulty in waking up (even with an alarm). It has a heavy sedating effect."


"I also had the problem with the Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). I was so ashamed because of the horrible smell and discharge. I also had problems with the smell escaping my clothing and was so embarrassed to be around anyone. I am now taking metronidazole and it has worked wonders. No smell, no discharge or itching. I had no side effects. So thankful this medication is available! Saved my life!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for 2 months now, I have had problems with other birth controls in the past such as large amounts of weight gain, moodiness, etc.  I haven't had any of these problems with Beyaz, in fact, I haven't gained ANY weight on it!  It has helped my PMDD greatly, I went from having cramps that would knock out an elephant to having almost no cramping at all, and I don't get moody or bloated like I have on other birth controls."


"I've been taking  phentermine for almost 5 days and I've lost 7 lbs so far. I also take topiramate but that is for sleep apnea and my migraines. I've been eating only good things and only drank water. I find it extremely hard to eat over 1000 calories because I get full so fast. I have had so hallucinations and blurry visions as well as stomach pains. But other than that it's been going great!"


"I started 3 days ago and was very worried about the injection but seriously you don’t feel it. I had no nausea or other side effects and it’s controlling my appetite. I do injections at night because I read reviews first and so far it’s working great for me. My insurance covers it my copay is $30 and well worth it."


"I started taking 100mg a night 9 years ago, lowered my dose almost immediately to 75mg, a year or two later down to 50, and as of the past 10 months down to 25 a night.  It works EVERY night. I get perfect sleep. I do sometimes find the urge to binge on food right before it knocks me out but not always, especially at the lower dose. Higher doses I would always binge eat. (Although I'm lucky because I'm a 26 year old male who weighs 120 pounds healthy weight for my height). Seroquel is a wonderful medication if you need the sleep. I used to get a sort of "zombie" feeling in the morning and be slightly irritable but nowadays not so much. A cup of coffee and I'm good to go."


"Took this for intractable migraine headaches. It worked wonders. I was able to go out in the world, go to movies, go with friends, go to restuarants, etc, until the doctor pulled it and started me on continuous toradol, which never cut the pain.

This medication was a wonder drug."


"Been on it for 8 weeks. Feeling much calmer and even. Sleeping better. Lost 5 pounds which is good. Has kept my appetite down and increased satiety. Downside is high fatigue some days and maybe some reflux."


"Hi I've been on the shot since the beginning of May. I've been bleeding constantly for 7 months with very frequent headaches. I almost thought I was anemic at one point due to the shot. However it was very effective in preventing pregnancy, but definitely not worth all the other symptoms."


"It took 3 months to see a difference. It worked. It made my skin clearer, but of course I still had some scarring and pimples here and there. 2 years later and now my acne is back like it was before. It progressively got worse since I got off of minocyclin. I was probably on it for 6 months+... oh and I had yeast infections "


"I saw very little improvement and I became ill while on the medication. It just didn't work for me. I was on it for 6 months and my plaques weren't going away."


"Apart from a dry nose and a few nosebleeds, I feel great. Within ten minutes after taking it I'm out like a light, and stay out for at least 7 hours. I'd reccommend it to anyone, though of course, all meds work differently for different people."


"This medication caused me to have very horrible nightmares to the point where I would not go to sleep until I was taken off the medicine."


"A little skeptical, moved from mini-pill (after a scare one month) to this one. So far I haven't gotten  a real period, but rather several short brownish spotting. Which fits me perfectly! Love it!"


"The pain I had was the most severe pain you could imagine- Back pain and Radicular nerve pain going down the outside and back of the leg and I couldn't walk unless I had crutches but a combination of Lortab and the injection of Toradol actually worked. I had been in pain for over 2 weeks and after numerous visits to the local Mega Orthopedic clinic I ended up back to my regular doctor and he gave me the injection. I have had the pill form before with no results but the injection works great!"


"Lamictal is a great medication. The titration takes quite a while, but it's worth it -- honestly. It isn't too effective at controlling the hypo or full blown mania -- as something like Geodon -- but it's a crown jewel for depression, especially treatment resistant depression. In terms of side effects there are few to none for most people. What I got was some mild dizziness and photosensitivity/blurred vision (a little irritating but nothing serious). In combo with Zoloft this was the "power cocktail" I was on for years."


"It doesn't work, this drug is a pharmaceutical scam to get money out of scared young women. Everyone who says it works likely would not have ended up pregnant whether they took the pill or not.  There is a very small window of time where pregnancy can occur and when taken during that time the pill will not work. My experience with it is this...unprotected sex, took plan b 8 hours later, ovulated the day after that, got pregnant with twins and miscarried both twins (one at 5 weeks one at 7 weeks). It's impossible to say whether the miscarriage was caused by the pill but I think it was. I knew I was pregnant before I got a + pregnancy test but I also knew something was wrong from the beginning, it all felt different then my prior pregnancies."


"I was recently prescribed victoza. the day I took my first dose (1.8) I ended up in the er. I was continuously throwing up and needed to be hydrated. The following week I tried it again and I was in the er again. This does not work for me. I have read many reviews that say it gets better after two weeks but how can you go on with your day if you are nausous or vomiting all day."


"Fantastic"


"I have GAD, social phobia, and panic disorder. I'm prescribed 1 mg, 3x a day of Klonopin. Even after 2 years it still works very well for me. It lasts much longer than Xanax or Ativan, so I don't get that dreaded wearing off feeling. It's quite calming but you can still function normally. The drowsiness side effect wears off after a few weeks. Just be very careful to take it as prescribed as it definitely has a potential for abuse. Also, if you decide to stop taking it, wean yourself off slowly to avoid feeling horrible."


"I was started on Gabapentin 5 days ago.  Began with one 300mg pill a night.  Have not had more than 3 hours of sleep since I stopped taking my other medication.  I am going to up it to 600 mg per night to see if it relieves the pain and leg jerking.  I am near my wit's end.  I have suffered from restless legs syndrome for over 30 years."


"I didn't have many problems  with Lamictal XR .  Just sleep problems for about 3 or 4 days and then I adjusted.  Constipation also plagued me.  I had a breakthrough partial seizure and doc changed from 100mg to 150mg. Now I am having a lot of problems.  My sleep is really disturbed, really bad dreams and panic attacks waking me up while sleeping.  Wish he could put me at 125mg.  Will have to check with him and see if that will keep seizures at bay. I have been a week and one half without a seizure."


"I took symbyax 3/25 for 5 years.  I have been opening my pill capsules and splitting the contents so I can slowly withdraw. The price was getting a bit expensive too. I would not recommend taking any meds unless you absolutely have to. After 5 years I will feel this but some discomfort is to be expected."


"It is the only medicine I had fast results with and more effective of all the prescription medicines I have tried in the past, but it has irritated my stomach a lot."


"I've been on Yaz for almost 2 years now and I have had no issues whatsoever. Every individual reacts differently to different medicines. It's common sense to assume the risk outlined on the label."


"I used to take Requip for restless leg syndrome, and sometimes it made me so sick I would vomit. Other nights it would be fine. One day I decided to call my PCP for a script of zofran or phenergan to help subside the horrible nasty vomiting and nausea effects of Requip and they wrote me a script of 12 4mg Zofran swallowable tablets. It helped almost immediately (not  within a minute, but 10mins or less) and then decided to stop my Requip medication because just made me sick. My RLS went away with other meds that I take and while I still take Zofran, I enjoy it for any spur of the moment "IM GONNA BE SICK" Kind of feeling, so I always carry it with me. At a hospital visit they gave me a dissolvable one that tasted like berries. Good med"


"Best medicine ever. I am BiPolar and weening off Cymbalta so the only down fall I have is the withdrawlish feeling from getting off the Cymbalta.  No diarrhea, no nausea just about a 10 lb weight gain, but I feel great so the weight thing can be what it is I will be fat and feel better!"


"Does not help with my chronic pelvic pain. "


"This drug has been my savior. I started it first in 2015 but went off it because my dose was too high.  I had an overblown fear of getting Lamictal rash or forgetting to take it consistently which can result in the need to restart the dosing up process.  Six months ago I saw different psychiatrist who calmed me about the rare side effects and explained that If I missed a day that I didn't have to dose up again. I'm currently on 150mg. I still experience some bipolar II symptoms but they are
completely manageable. A higher dose stopped my symptoms completely.  I feel in control for the first time in my life after 20 years of suffering. For those like me who were misdiagnosed and had traumatic experiences with anti-depressants, don't be afraid"


"I posted a couple months ago about how Adipex helped me lose 33lbs at the time.  I started in February 2009 and with exercise and reducing my caloric intake to about 1500 calories I have now lost 90 lbs.  However it is not all due to Adipex as I was only prescribed 2 months supply and it has been 8 months since I started my journey! The main goal for the drug is to help you kick start your weight loss. It is not meant to be taken for extended periods of time as it can be habit forming.  When I was on Adipex, I didn't take it every day. It was more like every other day, and just half a pill!  I started out powerwalking 1 mile every other day and gradually increased as I felt the need and now I jog 2 miles non-stop!"


"I have been taking Lyrica for three months. I started out with 75mg twice a day. It took the edge off my fibromyalgia pain during the day but at night I would wake up due to muscle pain when laying on one side too long. My doctor increased me to 150mg twice a day and for the first time in months, I was able to sleep through the night. I feel like a new person. It's a wonder drug. For once I am not walking around like a zombie due to pain and lack of sleep. I have gained a couple of pounds but I can live with that."


"Perscibed this to help with asthma flaring up at night, but now I use it to control my exercise-induced asthma. Take this 2 hours before exercise, it's like magic. Now I walk, jog, even run 2+ miles a day, and for someone who couldn't even walk for an extended time without their asthma flaring, that's a big deal. When I took this near bedtime, and only near bedtime, I experienced weird/vivd dreams. I actually enjoyed it, but the experience may be much more scary for others, beware taking near bedtime if you're concerned. Also, I've been feeling depressed and irritated often. I've had dark  thoughts, I'm not sure it's from Montelukast or from outside factors. I've had these feelings before taking it, it's just more often now."


"I had a partial bowel obstruction and could not go. I tried several other laxatives, stool softener, prune juice, enema, fiber gimmes, everything I could think of and nothing worked! I could only poop water. I tired Miralax and within 2 days the obstruction started breaking down and within 1 week I started pooping normal! I was scared I was going to have surgery. I highly recommend this product."


"I have been on Wellbutrin SR prescribed off label for major depressive disorder for about 3 years now.  Initially I had the same kind of side effects that are common such as headache, some anxiety and difficulty sleeping. The side effects diminished and pretty much went away after about a month, and I take my second dose at midday so that it doesn't impact my sleep.
Overall, this medication has made a huge difference to my quality of life, and has stopped me experiencing cripplingly low moods and huge rapid mood swings and it continues to work as well now as it did at the start of treatment.  It has also helped me to focus and concentrate on a task in a way that I found hard before.
My main concern has been the impact on short term memory."


"I was switched from celexa to fetzima.  I started on 20mg for a few days then increased to 40mg.  It did not helped my depression at all.  I was crying and repetitive thoughts. Side effects were awful:  constipation, dizziness, retrograde ejaculation, anxiety, irritability etc...I switched to viibyrd.  So far its a lot better."


"I started taking this birth control 6 months ago. I had some initial spotting which later turned into bleeding throughout my 3rd and 4th weeks. Every month. Every month I was bleeding for 2 weeks. I thought it would go away after the 3rd month, because that's what the general consensus was on the internet, but it didn't, so I'm not switching to a high dose pill. However, other than the annoyance of having to constantly buy tampons, I had no other side effects. No acne, no moodiness, no weight gain (I actually ended up going from 117 to 111 while on the pill for those of you who might be worried about weight gain as much as I was), no breast tenderness, or any substantial change in sex drive. I wish I didn't have to switch."


"I been on nexplanon for 2 years now an i can actually say I haven't gotten pregnant and I haven't use a condom with my boyfriend for 2 years now only then I hate about it is my periods it's last up to 2 weeks but It isn't that bad because I be extremely light or more like spotting I haven't have any depression not really any Anxiety attack my skin has not really break out or I haven't gain or lost weight over nexplanon but ever body is different"


"I want to share my experience because I was terrified when I first started Pristiq. It was the first time I'd taken an antidepressant following a severe depressive episode. I read so many negative things about Pristiq and people over analysing it. It took 6 weeks to work and yes I had dry mouth, headaches and nausea but they passed after a few days. The anxiety went away gradually and I felt like I could control it again. The depression lifted too and I could function. I went cold turkey to come off it (Dr supervised) and yep side effects but no big deal. The brain zaps were full on but they lasted about 4 days. I feel great. Of course I'm doing lots of exercise and eating well too...but Pristiq helped."


"I've been on Cymbalta over 2 years and it has worked great for my anxiety and Irritable bowel syndrome. I sometimes add Vistaril at stressful times. I tried Topamax and Lexapro and neither gave me the relief I needed. I wish I would have had Cynbalta 30 years ago."


"It works rather well but puts me to sleep for about 3 hours. I am still trying to find a migraine drug that does not put me to sleep. "


"The medicine worked well after the first two weeks but then I became very constipated, gained more than 10 lbs, blurry vision became an issue and had issues with nausea.  "


"I have been on lupron for 3 years. I began the shot in 2013 with a 11 cm fibroid too large for surgery at time. I am now in my late 50's and still testing positive on hormon tests. another words if I go off lupron I a assuming the fibroid will grow again and I will begin again to menstruated and have heavy bleed and large clots.  my headaches became much less and only have hotflashes towards the end of my 3 month shot. I get shots quarterly. my bone density was just shy from normal with no concerns for many years. I take calcium, D3 and K2 (MK7-helps make calcium go to bone not soft tissue like calcification and bone spurs ).

for me is has been the best thing in my life.  I can't imagine why people have bad results. oh and no weight gain."


"Had taken over the counter medicines for almost 15 years. Had tried many different prescription medicines too, and Dexilant has been the "wonder drug". I got to the point of throwing up in my sleep at least 2 times a week for the last 3 months. But, have not had one episode of vomiting since I began the medicine. I even cooked an Indian Dish the other night that I would not have even tried (just for the family usually) and I had my first enjoyment of spicy foods in over 15 ( )years. Amazing. Completely AMAZING."


"Ooookay they definitely changed this product because the first time I got this it worked fine! My second time using it I feel like the gates of hell moved into my poor va-jay-jay. I got a yeast infection from a 7mile obstacle course that I ran. My underwear was caked in mud/swamp water and sweat in which I wore for about 3hrs throughout the event. Bad decision. But taking this is an even worse decision! I'm so raw, tender, swollen, irritated and itchy down there. It hurts so bad from how raw and sore it is. I have to change my panty liner every hour because there's so much white discharge. I freaked out and called my doctor who said it's the medicine working and flushing my system out. Ughhh I really wish I would've taken a pill."


"Government Hospital treatment
but these days its out of stock "


"I have been on and off the patch for 2 years now. The first time using the patch I used it for 8-9 months and liked the fact that I had regular 3 day periods, no acne, and no weight gain. I did experience cramping and terrible moods. I was off for about 6-7 months due to being sexually inactive and then started up again 4 months ago. This time around I experienced horrible break outs that just started to subside, bad cramping, depressive moods (complete loss of control oved my emotions), irritability and heavy periods. The only plus side  is that my breasts have grown a full cup size and no spotting during the month. Unfortunately the con's outweigh the pro's and so I've decided to try pills again (Tri clyen), hoping to be myself again!"


"I was prescribed Paxil CR 12.5 for GAD which was mostly situational. I cannot tell you how awful of an experience it was for me. My anxiety went through the roof to the point I didn't want to leave home which is not like me at all. I became very depressed which I wasn't to start out with. Crying uncontrollably. Pacing and restless, could NOT sit still. Went from 140 pounds to 124 in 3 weeks. No appetite, intrusive/racing/all negative thoughts, couldn't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time, paranoid, confused, no concentration, no motivation, sweating, constant diarrhea, jaw clenching, stomach pains, body aches, dry mouth, yawning and dizziness. After 25 days on this med my doctor pulled the plug because I was better before it."


"I really love this product.  I don't have the irritation from the patch like some people are having.  I did find out that if you have a problem with the patch not sticking, clean the area with rubbing alcohol before placing the patch and that helps it to stick just fine.  Maybe that would also help the ones with the irritation as well.  Worth a try anyway.    A little crinkling noise is worth dealing with compared to dealing with overactive bladder.  Another small issue is I feel that one patch is not as effective."


"Works fairly well when taken for 20+ days, and prescription is repeated at least a few times in close succession to reach all life cycles and those pockets which have poor circulation. According to the NIH coinfection is much more common than non-coinfection, perhaps this is the reason such a broadbased anthelmintic has so many success stories. Combined with praziquantel is best."


"Never again. This stuff made me violently sick. Vomiting. Headache. I had the shakes. It was terrible. I stick with magnesium citrate. On ice."


"My doctor put me on the patch because I have terrible cramps during my period and usually develop ovarian cysts that are very painful a few days before my period starts. I put this on at 7pm and by midnight I had terrible headaches to the point I couldn't lift my neck or even talk because my teeth hurt. I felt immediate pain in my pelvic area where I placed it. I also had immediate muscle spasms in my legs and right arm (side where patch was) and I don't want to keep up this terrible pain that I felt in just a few hours. Its probably just all the extra estrogen and I probably should have waited it out but I don't want to take any chances."


"I was on birth control for about 15 years and decided to stop to give my body a break.  I got pregnant during that time and I started taking this birth control after I had my baby.  I've been on it about  5 months now.  So far, the only good things is it has kept me from getting pregnant and cleared up my skin.  The bad things....it has made me gain some weight, I now start to get my period before my pills are done, I feel like I am sweatier and it has given me large painful cysts under my right armpit.  I am debating whether or not to get off of this pill or give it a little bit more time."


"I started Isentress twice a day along with Truvada once a day and my HIV Load was 28,000 and CD4% 31%. After 40 days my HIV load is <20 and CD 4% 32.7. Excellent improvement considering I have experienced ZERO side effects and all other lab work came out well. I am 49 yrs old and very active."


"CAREFUL! Warning that you can become drowsy the next day after using this product.  Falling asleep at work, or while driving because the narcotic is too much.  If you're able to be passive with just a glass of wine, think seriously before taking the full teaspoon.  Talk to your doctor if you feel unusually tired because of the Tussionex."


"I have always been a petite size person. In December 2008 I was 9 pounds from my goal. Due to emotional stress, I have gained around 25 pounds since then. After series of medical test and no answer, I started taking Adipex on May 29. The second day on it I cleaned my bathroom for 6 HOURS. I haven't had that kind of energy in years. But here is my problem: hunger and cravings? They are gone. Energy? Better than before my kids were born. The weight? Still there. I lost maybe 2-3 pounds. I watched what little I eat and I am more active. "


"If you're sensitive to any medication I don't recommend taking. I had an adverse reaction and it caused me to end up in the ER. I started out taking one dose and then began feeling anxious after several hours. Against my better judgement I took a second dose and the next morning felt nauseous which then led to vomiting that wouldn't stop and severe anxiety. It also caused my heart rate to increase. I had to be treated for dehydration and nausea as well as something to calm my heart rate. An FYI I found out the hard way that Imodium AD also has similar effects on my body. I guess I'll try and go a more natural route."


"I'm a 29 yr old mother of 3. 2 are twin toddlers. I dealt with anger since my teenage yrs. Yelling, tantrums, uncontrollable anger. Many times there would be no reason or very minor ones. Even as an adult I would sit in my closet and tear my clothes down and scream until I felt better. Trying to hide this unhealthy release of anger. Finally I got to where I would stay at home. My doctor diagnosed me with depression. I didn't believe her but took her advise. We started the beginners pack. 10mg/7days, 20mg/7days then onto 40mg. The first couple of days of each new mg comes with some nausea. EAT WELL! 6 Months later and I am so happy. No more yelling at kids/hubby. Saved my marriage. DO NOT MISS A DOSE EVEN BY AN HOUR. YOU WILL BECOME A MONSTER."


"Approximately 3 weeks after having a posterior Foraminotomy / laminectomy I began having the same pain as I had prior to the surgery. The nerve pain & numbness became increasingly worse so I call the surgeon's PA at 4 weeks post op to find out if it was normal. He called in a Toradal script Friday.  I took 2 pills (as prescribed) & 1 pill every 6 hours as needed for pain. It's Sunday & I'm extremely pleased with the result so far! I have complete pain relief taking this in combination with Percocet!"


"I'd give it a zero if I could. I went to the ER because my throat hurt so bad that it felt like fire and razor blades. This medication didn't 'sedate' me or ease any pain whatsoever."


"Complete Brain Fog, worse than anything you can imagine, literally can't get out of bed because of the brain damage that this drug induced on me, I feel completely literally detached from the world now, not to mention even the less serious it caused, ED, no Libido, Head Pressure, complete cognitive shift, feel like I'm in a whole different world, NEVER TOUCH this drug EVER EVER EVER, unless your old and have nothing else to lose and don't care about life any more. I would trade this with ANY other disease just for my brain function to come back again, I feel like I'm in a coma, it's absolutley frightful, everyday 24/7, it never leaves, sexual sides are a joke compared to this."


"I have taken this drug since it came on the market. I was taking Norvasc 5 mg and Lipitor 10 mg.  But, when my cardiologist upped the Norvasc portion to 10 mg (Caduet 10/80) I experienced a lot of edema in my ankles and feet, that did not happen with the 5 mg Norvasc.  "


"I think zoloft for me is great. The only downfall i have with it was headaches. They started right when I began taking zoloft daily. They were intense and hurt like hell. Lasted about 2 weeks. Then bam they were gone. I took it at night before bed. I thought they made me tired. Since I've been on it , I've lost about 20lbs. I don't have the munchies at all & honestly I have to tell myself to eat because it curbs my appetite. I don't feel bloated like I did on Lexapro that's why I switched. Zoloft really works for me and I'm on a low dose. Headaches suck the first few weeks but what a difference from lexapro. Everyone's different."


"June 27th I had unprotected sex at 5am I waited til planned parent hood opened at 9 then they gave me the Ella pill I took it soon as they gave it too me..she said I had up to 5 days to take it..a week later on July 4th I had unprotected sex again & I took the Ella pill cause they sent some Ella pills home with me..I haven't seen a period in July & now we are in mid August & I still haven't seen a period"


"Bipolar 2 cyclic .started with Serequil, lamictal and Vyvanse. Serequil worked but horrible side effects: urine retention. Daily HA, All day long nausea, weight gain 22#. Despite watching diet and daily swim.  Started  Latuda Took 40mg  at dinner (8pm) for 4 week. what a great mood stabilizer for me but still having periodic days of mania and depression. Inc to 80 MG. Doing great. Within 3 weeks of starting Latuda lost 20 lbs ( almost like my metabolism kicked into overdrive) after being on Serequil.  side effects:  my stomach super sensitive so of course nausea.  I must take 1 hr after dinner, letting food digest, no alcohol. Otherwise vomiting within 2 hrs after taking. I take RX haldol 0.5mg BID and Zofran ODT for breakthrough nausea"


"My prescription was prescribed by my GP for an ear infection. After 5 days my mouth became very sore & I called & spoke with the nurse who said keep taking it. Keep taking it?? My mouth is on fire. The tongue, gums, roof. I quit. It is now 20 days later and my condition is the same. My dentist prescribed a mouthwash and it helps but  I am trying Biotin mouthwash now as I read online was good for this condition and it does give great relief.

I hope this helps someone else as this is not a comfortable feeling."


"Dose not work only made me anxious and angry I wasted my money and my chance to not be in pain after surgery.  Stop peddling this rubbish.  All  the Dr round here  are prescribing it thanks to some pharmaceutical rep but you're ruining people's rights to quality of life. You know it does not work."


"I've been taking fluoxetine for at least 18 months now for severe depression. I couldn't sleep or eat even getting out of bed to open the curtains was difficult for me. My GP put me on 40mg a day and did I notice a change in myself - not only happy but motivated and hold a job down a year later. I'm on 20mg now and still have my bad days. Boy do I notice it if I miss a day. It was the best thing I could have done and I swear by it."


"10 years suffering with insomnia, tried over the counter sleep aids, then Ambien and Lunesta and still couldn't get the sleep I needed.  Dr prescribed a new medicine Belsomra, started on 10mg for a week and pushed up to 15, then 20 mg.  It works hands down. Such a relief. I'm not staring at the ceiling for hours between 2-4pm every night, I am actually sleeping.  Mild grogginess the first few days but seems to have disappeared."


"I've had the Implanon for a little over a year now. I love it! I have tried every birth control under the sun. The pill, the patch, the ring, and I had managed to find a way to forget, mess up, or skip each one of them. The Implanon has given me so much more freedom. The only side effects I've had were a few months where I would bleed a little each day, but after about 6 months I haven't had another period. I haven't gained any weight and any moodiness was probably something I would have experienced without all the hormones. I recommend it."


"After experiencing probably the darkest time of my life, and sitting through therapy sessions that I felt were getting me nowhere, I finally decided to undergo taking anti-depressant tablets. I was always a bit hesitant as to the fact that they are a temporary solution and would never fully cure my depression. However since taking this medication, it’s almost as if all my dark thoughts, my anxiety and paranoia have all been completed numbed and killed off. For me it has managed to make my days go from being stood under a dark cloud to being under blue skies. This medication has helped me put my life on track and now I am training to become a nurse and feel in control of my mind and happiness. For anyone considering it…I would recommend."


"I'm currently using Epiduo and have been for only the past few weeks. Although I have experienced the burning, stinging, redness and dry skin on my face I am already noticing an extreme difference in my acne, it has decreased an astonishing amount and has been the most effective treatment I have used yet. I highly recommend using the gel!"


"I was given this medication after I injured both feet in sparring in my Thai boxing class. After two weeks of slow healing a second doctor gave me this and it sped up healing. Upon returning to class and new injuries it works well."


"It burns me after I use it, which is why I learned to use it at night while I sleep, but man it feels a whole lot better after! Make sure you guys actually know it's a yeast infection because those of you who are just using it after experiencing similar symptoms might have BV instead!
I get yeast infections after using nair hair removal (I never learn my lesson) and I always go to my gyno. 0/10 for burning pain but 10/10 because I feel better after a day."


"I've had it for almost a month. Currently on my first period with it and it's awful. Insertion pain was 10/10 I cramped for almost a week after and bled/spotted the entire time. My period is light but I have really bad sharp pains and I'm bloated and feel nauseous all the time. Right now I'm on my period. Everyone is different and maybe it takes a few cycles to get used to, but if I hurt like this all the time with this in my body, then I don't feel like it's worth having. I'm happy for all of you who have had success with this IUD, but I'm not sure it's for me."


"The first birth control I ever used was Ortho-Cyclen. I took it to help lighten my periods and was on it for about 9 months. Though it did help with my periods, I just didn't like the woman I became on it. I then switched to the patch and experienced the same thing. Next was the Depo shot. Ladies beware! To follow were 3 months of complete hell. My mood was constantly up and down and just about anything could send me into hysterics. Refusing to continue with the shot I asked my doctor for a low hormone birth control and she suggested Lutera. It's been 5 months now and I couldn't be more satisfied. My skin is clear, I went from a B to a D cup, and best of all, no mood swings! I am so happy with this pill. I 100% recommend it."


"For the first couple of months I really liked Loestrin, but between the mid cycle bleeding, being overly emotional and the bloating I am done.  I have been on this pill 9 months, following the birth of my son.  Over the last 2 months the bloating has gotten so bad that I had to buy larger pants!  I almost look pregnant again.  Yes I had lighter periods, and my skin is clearer but the rest is just not worth it."


"Lysteda changed my life. For years, I have experienced incredibly painful periods with debilitating blood flow. I experienced severe anemia, bruising, and menstrual cramps that caused vomiting and fainting. I would clot through super pads and tampons at least one per hour (wearing them simultaneously even overnight) for five+ days. It was impossible to even leave my house because of how often I would bleed through my clothes. My dr recommended trying Lysteda before opting for an irreversibly surgery. (I am not able to go on bc or use implants due to a uterine deformity.) Lysteda started working immediately, within an hour. My periods last about 4 days now and I can get away with wearing just a pad. My life has changed and I am so thankful!!"


"Wonder Drug"


"I have been using this product and the difference is beyond belief. Before, I had to use specialty eyedrops up to 40 times a day, buy now I use Xiidra twice daily, and maybe drops such as TheraTears at the most twice a day, sometimes not at all. Thank you for a miracle. Oh yes, my condition started about 15 years ago."


"I was put on Augmentin for my upper respiratory infection and sinus infection that I had at the same time as each other. After taking it for 2 days I was feeling 80% better. People told me to watch out for side effects such as upset stomach and loose stool, I made sure to have a yogurt before each pill I took and never had an issue."


"This is my second time taking it. The first time I got real bad headaches and nausea. This time I still get headaches once in awhile and mild nausea in the morning after taking the medicine but I can get rid of it by drinking milk. I have been a non-smoker for 3 weeks now."


"I was having bad heartburn (GERD) everyday and having to take to many antacids.  My doctor suggested OTC Prilosec.  After 24 hours all pain was gone and has not returned.  It has been a blessing. Today is the 7th day of 14 day treatment.  I am waiting to see if the heartburn returns after I complete the recommended 14 day treatment.  I hope not."


"Better than a lot of other ADHD medications. Helped me lose 5-10lbs in only a month, but my weight remained the same for a while then went back up to original weight, probably because of starting other medications. Been on it for 8 months, and it has helped with reading and impulsivity related to ADHD, but does not give a boost of energy and productivity like Dexedrine or Vyvanse does."


"Started two weeks ago on this medicine plus the B12 vitamin shot and weighed in today and lost 6 pounds. I was surprised because this was over Thanksgiving too. The medicine really curves my appetite. At this rate in 6 months I can be down 60 pounds. Wish me luck."


"I had occipital nerve damage with pressure in my inner ear. Pressure is gradually lowered enabling me to exert myself for about 4 hours but exhausted. I now take 225 mg twice daily and cannot miss one dose. Nothing else worked. I took up to 600 mg but found no difference in relief so I am on the 225 twice daily. This is one medication that does not mix well with alcohol. It induces a coma like state that lasts for 30 minutes and longer. I was drinking beer and only had 3 beers in 2 hours. Then BOOM goes the dynamite! But am aware of everything going around me but can't move or respond. When it's over, it's over and I am vertical again. So now I know why the ad states avoid alcohol!"


"I have been experiencing the dry eye & red eye problems for about 2yrs. I finally this year decided to go to a real eye specialist. They called in a prescription for Xiidra using a 90 day free coupon (happy) without using my health insurance as they would not cover it. I'm glad to try something else besides clear eyes and or artificial drops. I use to where contacts for about 15 years and had to stop because of the dry eye problems.  Anyway I have been using Xiidra now for about 1 month and I must say the results is good. The only side effects I'm having is the bad bitter taste, very light headaches periodically & very mild cough here & there, nothing major. I go back to see my eye specialist in July for a follow up."


"Worked great. I felt awesomely good. My insurance put me in the donut hole.

Now I can't afford it.  "


"Experienced dizziness and headaches, lumps and pain first day after injection. Week has passed and symptoms are still present."


"I started taking guaifenesin about three weeks ago at 600 mg every morning . I had improved in most of my pain but still was getting that evening pain and so I just increased to take another 600mg in evening. I slept so deep and woke up feeling like a new person. I will continue on this because nothing else has ever helped my fibromyalgia better. I can get my life back together now."


"I have had this type of birth control for about a year. I don't have periods which is awesome but I have also gained an intense amount of weight since the implant. I have gained a total of 55 pounds on this birth control. I have always been a bigger girl, but before the implanting my weight was consistent. Now I have sky rocketed and despite my best efforts I have not been able to get back down to what I was. I'm considering the removal of it soon."


"I took 3 tbsp and it worked like crazy within 2 hours for me. So far I have been back and forth in the bathroom for 7 times. I drank some more water after the 5th time and it made me run back twice more. If I ever have to use it again, I will only take 1tbsp."


"Two 500 mg caplets taken at a time, 4 times a day. Did not work at all for my severe pain resulting from an abscessed tooth.

Only got relief when using two 500 mg caplets of Bayer aspirin."


"I am immune-compromised from ME/CFS for 17 years. This drug at a dose of 1500 mg/day restored my cognitive clarity to 100%.  At only 1000 mg/day my cognitive clarity fell off substantially...a 20 point IQ drop, perhaps.  When my MD took away my Valtrex one time because she thought my kidneys were at risk after I had white cells in a urine test, I became pseudo-demented and had to use a three-wheeled walker without Valtrex!  I also have vestibular migraine that is treated with 350 mg/day of topamax  and it gets worse without the Valtrex. As soon as I went back on the Valtrex, I perked up immediately and didn't need the walker."


"Recently started this medicine. So far no side effects and I am feeling better after about 5 days."


"This medication is causing intense pain in my eyes.  I would not recommend."


"Hi I have been taking these pills for 5 weeks now  for weight loss I do struggle . Specialist trying to see if it's my metabolism... I'm
On 25mg he has not mentioned anything about higher dose but I have not been able to sleep !!! It's driving me crazy now . Was wondering if any of you had the same experience? I do feel so tired and lethargic but it's so late before I get any sleep then I'm waking up mid afternoon missing my days I've tried getting up early going out walking etc like today still no luck . I suffer with mental
health  problems and was dubious about taking them at first but read a lot on your feedback that it's helped some people.I just hope this depression is through my sleep pattern and not the med ."


"I suffered panic attacks for 12 years from 1989 to 2001, almost every night.  I switched doctors and he put me on Zoloft.  I have been on it ever since, up to 150mg per day, and have suffered no side effects. It has been a life saver."


"After having  been misdiagnosed with a yeast infection, diagnosed with BV, treated with Metronidazole gel and then developing a yeast infection because of the gel, I've been three weeks with pants of fire. If you're reading this, you might know the feeling. I did three doses of Diflucan and no relief. Dizziness and general crummy feeling, but still burning and itching. One dose of M3 and I thought I was in Heaven. No burning. It was relief within an hour (and I was terrified of all the burning reviews). Not everyone reacts the same. One day and I'm looking forward to dose 2. The cooling effect is wearing off and I want this thing gone. Monistat 3 cream was my savior!"

"Dr gave me this with Tamiflu.  Zutripro was amazing!  My cough subsided and my congestion was gone in no time!  I definitely recommend."


"Took ambien with no problems. Doctor wanted me to come off ambien and try Belsomra. He gave me samples. Took a 10mg dose and it didn't help me fall asleep or stay asleep. Up all night. Then- the weird nightmares. I had hours of vivid nightmarish dreams. Not good. Woke up exhausted. Why would anyone take this medication if it's going to give you nightmares? I'm already an insomniac. I don't need nightmares and hallucinations too. Going back to ambien."


"I saw opioids taking over my life, and figured I had two options: continue using and wind up dead or imprisoned, or get help.

Suboxone was the help I got. My cravings to get high on anything keep going down and down. Now, I barely remember why I started doing all these in the first place.

So why the 6 out of 10? It constipates me way worse than any other opioid has. That means lots of fiber, stool softeners and Activia for me. I dislike the orange taste and the way the strips numb my taste buds. I also wish it was scored, so you could accurately measure out half doses. "


"I was prescribed this for a UTI and while it did help with that, it ended up giving me the worst yeast infection of my life that I am still treating 2 months later. I usually don't have too much of an issue with antibiotics but this was awful."


"I am a 18 yo girl and diagnosed for depression. My 1st week with 10 mg Lexapro is beyond horrible: depression got worse, heart racing, sharpened negative thoughts, and no motivation at all when wake up in the morning. I cant concentrate and feel as if I wanna cry most of the time. It lingers till evening and tapers off toward night. At night, I feel euphoric. No problem with sleeping and weight gain. But since my depression got worse, doctor decided to double my dose to 20 mg. 2nd week was even worse: nightmare every night, fatigue, lethargic, gases in stomach. In 3rd week, it finally helps!! Negative thoughts went away and I feel lightheaded. Side effect: emotion numbness, sleepy, lazy. But overall this medicine is a true miracle."


"I have been taking Nuvigil for over a year. It has been a great thing for me. I was starting to be afraid to drive, even in the morning after a good night sleep. My doctor helped me by prescribing the 250 mg and I split them.  I keep myself able to manage with the 125 mg by only taking it the days that I work, and skipping one day midweek that I schedule heavily with more physical stuff to keep me alert. I also notice anxiety building if I take it daily for several weeks, or don't get enough sleep while I am taking it."


"I just received the medication today. So far so good. My pad is dry. I don't have severe dry mouth."


"I was prescribed this generic for a raging infection contracted when I had a small surgical procedure done on my finger.  Within 24 hours of the procedure, my finger was inflamed and throbbing.  Keeflex was first prescribed and another 24 hours later was determined it had not touched the infection.  So, I was given Zyvox.  It totally eradicated the germ I had contracted.  I did have some bothersome side effects, mostly with my stomach just not feeling right.  Later in the second week, my tongue turned brown, but no other problems.  I was very tired most of the time, and could not decide if it was the med or the infection."


"No doctor had been able to diagnose my condition. As a result, I was prescribed 10mg of Valium 3x daily as a crutch indefinitely. At first, I was dim-witted and happy and got SOME relief, but after about a year, I started to become increasingly apathetic, dim-witted, started to have problems with light sensitivity and focus, become uninterested in socializing, and have a personality shift from the funny, charming guy, to a depressed robot with anger spasms, who takes risks just to feel some sense of being alive. After 2.5 years, the physical relief has all but stopped, and an any case I cannot have a life taking this. I am in the process of tapering off of it."


"I starting having panic attacks around age 19 and I was & constantly heading to ER thinking I was gonna die. First I was put on a low dose of Xanax with only being told by doc that I was just a little anxious. It wasn't til I got pregnant with my 3rd son at age 28, that my OB/GYN knew exactly what I needed and put me on paxil. I remember after a couple of weeks of being on it, I woke up feeling like a normal person again. I actually noticed the sound of birds chirping outside instead of waking up in fear! I have been on Paxil now for about 15 years ( I got off of it for about 4 years and stayed  anxiety free til I was robbed at gunpoint and anxiety came back) and it has truly saved my life!"


"dexamethasone for Inflammatory Conditions: As one of the previous participants stated it did wonders, however first week experienced extreme pain and then to have metallic mouth - everything tastes bad otherwise not experiencing what others seem to be.  Don't know if I would want this shot again - it's been 2 weeks and the metallic mouth seems to be getting worse - hopefully it won't last much longer"


"Day 1. Took 50mg last night, felt "stoned", woke every hour, and had a nervous tummy, feeling hungry this morning, little more calm then normal for morning time. Still feeling slightly "stoned" and very tired. No nausea."


"I'm happy to see that this drug has worked for some but it certainly did not work right for me.  After the initial days getting it into my system I started crying for no reason multiple times a day.  I figured I was just getting used to it and stuck with it through the dosage increase. The following day I basically cried all day and had suicidal thoughts that I just could not seem to get out of my head.  My Dr had me stop taking it immediately and we performed a genomind DNA test to see which drugs would work for me. Vrylar showed up on the "High Risk" list along with a number of other anti-psychotics.  Unfortunately my list of treatment options for Bipolar I is not very long."


"My insurance switched me from Junel FE to Blisovi FE. When I called and asked why it changed, I was told they were equivalent to each other and the switch was due to what the supplier had. They told me that since both pills were so similar, I shouldn't have any changes or symptoms. I stuck it out for about 3 months, so my body would adjust to it. This BC is TERRIBLE. I rarely spot between periods but have had a chronic problem with this since I started my second pack of Blisovi. My period is also heavier than usual and I've been feeling very lethargic. I switched off of it this week. I have been on birth control for many years and never had a reaction like this. I would not recommend it!!!"


"This stuff is torture!  I was coughing a little  and had some allergy congestion the pharmacist recommend this stuff.  Its 2:00 AM I took two pills at 3 in the afternoon and I have been coughing my lungs out ever since. I'm literally coughing so hard I'm sweating and have a headache I feel edgy and there is no hope of getting sleep tonight."


"Great!"


"They also have the extra strength Percogesic. I LOVE it. I keep a bottle in my purse all the time. My dr is afraid to write a prescription for anything stronger than a Tylenol, so I have to depend on the Percogesic for my very frequent headaches!"


"I started this medication because I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.  I have been put on random depression meds since I was 14 years old and am now 24.  I've tried lexapro, welbutrin, and a bunch of other stuff.  I never really saw improvement as a teenager on these drugs, but it could have been my hormones at the time.  I tried prosac at 23 years old and it seemed to make a real difference for me.  I think I started to feel the difference within the first week, but that might have been a placebo affect.  After at least 2-3 weeks is when I think it really started to work and I could feel a difference.  My anxiety levels started to drop pretty drastically and I was no longer afraid of things like the dark."


"This recently became over counter here so I thought I'd give it a go. I have suffered rosacea badly for near on 10yrs, as did my mother from her late 20's into her mid 50's. Nothing I have tried before has worked.
This is day 4, and already my bumps are gone, my redness has reduced and my skin feels smooth, not dry and flaky.
Only negative so far is it makes me itch and my skin feel tight for about half hr after application. My usual unscented baby sorbolene seems to help with that though.
So far so good, hoping to see big results."


"I am 25yrs and I have been taking Yasmin for about 5yrs now. I found it very good no menstrual pain, 5 days period, it also helped in some what way with my acne. I gained a few pounds as some people say in the right places, but lately I find its making me cranky and nauseous, because of that I am thinking of trying a new pill."


"I was prescribed this medicine after not being able to lose weight even with a strict diet and exercise. I have Polycystic Ovarion Syndrome and Hashimotos which both make it very difficult to lose weight and/or causes weight gain. My doctor gave it to me the first week of June and as of August 12, 2015 I have began losing weight easily. I have lost a total of 17 pounds while dieting and exercising. The main side effects I have are nausea almost daily within fifteen minutes of taking the two daily doses. The nausea usually subsides within an hour but the nausea is what makes the thought or sight of food unappetizing. I rarely have an appetite but have hot flashes and insomnia but doesn't compare to the benefits weight loss and feeling good."


"After having an IUD my Dr gave me this to try.  Periods were very light.  No cramping or pimples.  Didn't care for the aftertaste of chewing the pills so I just swallowed them.  Every time I refilled my Rx there were problems getting my insurance to work.  They were able to cover it for a while, but now my insurance won't cover it at all.  At over $150/month, I will be finding another medication."


"I have been on 5mg tablet for almost 2 yrs. I started off on one tab a night then cut my dose down to half tab, currently taking 1/4 tab during the day because I always miss my alarm if I take it at night. I over sleep way to much, always tired, brain feels foggy. I've gained 30 pounds and its getting harder to take it off. I'm always hungry and always thirsty. It helps with behaviors. I still flip out but way less often."


"My pain was almost completely gone within minutes! Other than the pain from the shot."


"I was lulled into a false sense about this drug by my doctor and reviews which said it would work over several days and help me have a natural bowel movement. This is not my current experience.

I haven't had a real bowel movement in 9 days, which is the first time in my life this has happened. I have some health issues and have been eating 400-600 calories per day.

I took the miralax at 7pm assuming nothing would happen for a few days. At 9:15 abdominal pain, cramping, running to the bathroom. Sweating bullets through my clothes and feeling incredibly nauseous, it took a while but it started working. Almost 2 hours later I am hoping the worst is over.

It was effective because it is working, but be aware it CAN work fast and feel terrible"


"I have mild allergic nasal inflammation with nighttime terbinate hypertrophy. I was afraid to even try nose spray this after reading a couple of less than good opinions. I'm very satisfied with Dymista. I have very mild allergic inflammation. I had terbinate reduction back in 2009 and was very satisfied with the procedure for a couple of years.  As warned my terbinate night time swelling gradually returned and had a very negative impact on the quality of my sleep.  For at least a year, I haven't had a nights sleep without waking 4 to 6 times a night rarely achieving REM sleep. Dymista has improved the quality of my sleep immediately."


"I have been taking this medication for a month.  No breakthrough bleeding and my menstrual cycle has been a great, but the negative side effects have been miserable.  I experienced severe mood swings, depression (and I am usually a happy person),  bloating, weight gain, increased appetite, breast tenderness, discomfort and pain in my abdomen and extreme fatigue.  I have been miserable since starting this medication and will discontinue it and try something else."


"I'm 36 years old and I've had acne on and off since I was 12 years old. Within the last 5 years it has gotten significantly worse and I've tried just about every type of medicated treatment. Nothing really worked. I recently went to my Dermatologist for a refill on my Minocycline (oral antibiotic) and decided to ask about Aczone gel. I've only been using it for less than a week and I can't believe how well it's working on my face. I use it in conjunction with Minocycline.
My acne has significantly reduced and my face feels smooth. I'm very excited about the results and I highly recommend Aczone. It's definitely worth a try if you have painful, stubborn acne."


"Before Savella:  Could hardly walk, ached all over, exhausted all the time, sore hands etc, muscle spasms/contractions, jaw/ear pain. After:  muscled contractions/spasms across my abdomen the first two days, really bad; however, no fibromyalgia pain at all.  I am on the full dose now. I take a Lexapro in the morning for depression, I take my Savella about an hour later. At bedtime, I take the other Savella. I love it.  I would say I feel 85% better most of the time, and have felt 100% better a few days in a row."


"I have been on 15mg methotrexate for one year for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My psoriasis was mild to moderate and is a little better but I was in a lot of pain from the arthritis and this medicine has helped me so much. I would say my pain went from a 9 to a 3 on a scale of  1- 10. Only side effect is stomach upset and I am considering switching to injections."


"This changed my life. I read reviews before giving this a try and thought "well these people must not sweat as badly as I do." No, these people were all correct. This is like a miracle drug. I used to be able to stand outside in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather in a t-shirt and my armpits would be sweating. Now I can actually dress for the weather and not have to worry! I can wear long sleeves and my down jacket and NO SWEAT."


"This cream is fantastic. It clears skin completely, is easy to use and finally you can have clear skin without antibiotics etc. Simple, easy, cheap solution. "
