"I have schizophrenia and was prescribed this in hospital alongside antipsychotics and mood stabilisers. It has a slightly "stimulating" effect so can be effective for depression associated with negative symptoms and flatness. However, it does as all psychiatric medicines do, make you feel somewhat empty inside. At higher doses (where dopamine is effected) it is very reliable in helping with severe anxiety and depression as I had. In lower doses (mainly serotonin effected) it works like an SSRI, and I did not find it helpful. Worked up to 225mg but was reduced after several hypomanic episodes. Remained on 150mg for some time, then down to 75mg. May as well have been taking paracetamol at the lower dose, as it did nothing for me. Overall a good medicine."


"I was given xanax in the hospital when people at work thought I was having a heart attack. My anxiety shot up so bad, my heart rate was 170. Been on 2 mg a day ever since (this happen 2 months ago). I only take 1 1/2 mg a day & it works for me.  I feel like I have control of my life again.  I have heard stories & seen people on it who over take it but if you take it as prescribed,  it works."


"Just took this a few weeks ago and I was extremely concerned about the side effects I was possibly going to have. Of course I researched on the internet and u always read horror stories that'll scare u to death. Anyway, I felt like I had no other choice so I took the pill very reluctantly. After about 7 hrs I did get nauseous, but never vomited. The nausea lasted for about a day. I was still able to eat a little though. I had the headache, but nothing more than a casual headache that pops up from time to time. Other than that, I was all good. So ladies, if u were like me and scared of the side effects, it was bearable and worth it considering the other alternative. Overall a pretty positive experience. Stay away from the horror stories."


"After 2 days of this antibiotic, I felt no difference. I went to another Doctor who game me betadine liquid to gargle. Next day my sore throat improved little. But after 4 days of azithromycin and 2 days of betadine gargle, I feel good but still unable to swallow food/drink except milk. Hope it gets better in another couple of days."


"I've taken Zyprexa as an adjunct to Lithium for Bipolar I. My thoughts are slower and it has gotten rid of any anxiety (this I think is the best side effect). I have not had issues with weight gain. I change between 5 and 10 mg per day and how I feel. Sometimes it can cause me to sleep late and need to take it earlier in the evening to avoid that.  Great medicine to keep me stable and stop intrusive thinking."


"PSA: THIS PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE! I am on day 2 of this treatment and I have never been in so much agonizing pain. I wish I would've seen all of these reviews before inserting this into my body. My legs won't stop trembling/twitching because my vagina is burning and I just want to flush it all out. Guess I'm not getting any sleep tonight.."


"Keeps my mood even 24/7...also I have noticed no side effects either. Been on this medication for 9 years 300mgs daily."


"I have  been taking valium for the last 10 years. Before I was a raging alcoholic and always put myself in danger because of the effects of the alcohol,it should be illegal because it is a terrible drug, my life has been normal for the past ten years now and I have a happy family thanks to one little pill."


"Developed rash on the palms of my hands. Then perpetual chapped lips. Discontinued as recommended by doctor."


"I have been taking Sprintec for a little over 2 years and have had no severe side effects. My periods were very irregular and could last up to a month before i started taking Sprintec. Now I get my period every month down to the day I am supposed to start and last 3-4 days. My breasts have gotten larger and I have a few mood swings, mostly around the time of my period. I would recommend taking Sprintec."


"It's too early to tell yet regarding the effectiveness of the eradication protocol, but the taste in my mouth, bloating, and overall chronic Nassau feel is horrible. I'm somewhat relived that I am not the only one experiencing these adverse reactions from the protocol. I do feel positive knowing that I'm getting rid of this horrible bacteria, because I've been so sick for almost 2 months. Thanks for the helpful tips on what to use to help with the taste that comes from taking the clarithromycin."


"Had my Skyla IUD placed on early October. (4 months ago) and I wish that I could say the horrible pain of the insertion was the worst part. I have had nothing but issues with it since day 1, and I cannot wait to get this dumb thing out of my body....too bad that requires surgery because after some recent pain, bleed, and X-rays, I have learned that the IUD in now located above my right hip bone."


"I have been on birth control for 9 years for heavy/too frequent periods. For the first 6 years, Seasonique was amazing. However, especially within the past two years, I have had excessive spotting.  For awhile, I was on the generic and just thought there was a difference between that and the name brand. Initially I had no problems, but I started a doctorate program and am sure the stress has a lot to do with it, but my spotting has started again.  It'll happen any time I stress out or after having sex.  I like not having my period for 3 months but now, im on my period more than a normal bc. Except it's worse. It comes unannounced and has ruined a number of undergarments."


"I only got the shot once, I gained 15 pounds in 3 months and had horrible mood swings. Also, the cramps I experienced after getting the shot were ten times worse than the cramps I experienced before. The only good thing I can say is that my periods were a lot lighter. "


"My experience about xyrem is phenomenal. Going back, I can't imagine myself how I survived before this medication, comparing how I used to feel before taking the medication. I'm at least 70 percent feeling better. I read a couple suggestions on this website as far as not eating 2 to 3 hours before and not drink much water 5 hrs before, I will try them to see if I can get any improvement. So far my only issue is on the second dose, it wears off quick, it feels like I passed out for a couple hours and wake up to pee and that will be it but still can feel that heavy eyes just won't be able to fall asleep again."


"I have been on gabapentin and prozac for 18 months now and seem to be tolerating it well. I was taking a Effexor before, and having problems. Coming off of Effexor shot my GAD through the roof and I ended up in hospital. Bad scene. They don't prescribe benzodiazepines for long term use anymore, but gabapentin seems to be working, and with less side effects."


"I am an official ex-smoker after 31 years. Chantix is a MIRACLE DRUG. While I experienced most of the common side effects, the only lasting side effects were dry mouth and gas which are much better than the stinky smell of smoke and the potential for COPD. I am almost done with my 90 day treatment and am encouraged to read that people did remain non-smoking after stopping the medicine - EXCELLENT."


"I started using Epiduo last Monday.  I did not have any side effects until day 5, my face peeled but nothing I couldn't exfoliate off when I washed my face.  No peeling after day 5.  On day 6 my face stung a little when I put the lotion on a few minutes after the Epiduo.  After that my face still stings a little around the eye area only but nothing that I can't just get over right away... Very mild.  My face looks about 50% better already!! I am so happy and my husband, kids & coworkers have noticed.  I'm afraid of the "purge" to come since I have been on it for about 11 days now and see positive changes.  I will update you guys again in about a week.  I wanted to post because I am not having the negative experience most people are posting."


"Plan b has been wonderful as far as I'm not pregnant. My period was one week late. A lot of cramping and bloating, but as long as it does what it's suppose to. Took it about 6 hours after unprotected sex. Sixty dollars does not compare to a baby!"


"Taking this medication eased my hot flashes but did not rid them entirely.  What it has done is improve my mood.  I feel great!"


"I have been through many many years of anxiety. Couldn't drive a car, couldn't sit through a church service, torment. This drug helps me focus and function.
People abuse it but it's a Godsend for people with real issues. Not everyone is a drug addict that needs xanax. I am 50 and a female and my life's been limited since a trauma at childhood. I have post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety to severe limits."


"I'm going to be very much to the point I had a physician that retired I began seeing a new physician after searching for a physician I was comfortable with I was continued being prescribed oxycodone ER 2-30mg tab 3x a day with 4mg hydromorphone with each dose The Physician referred me to pain management pain management change meds two 100 mg oxycodone ER that is one 40 mg & one 60 mg.  & 80mg oxycodone 2x day & 8mg hydromorphone every 8 hrs with each dose. Then pain management switch me to oxymorphone 40mg every 12 hours & 8mg hydromorphone with each dose.   Why is this is not working why? Should I go back on 100mg sulfate morphine tablet ER and 8mg hydromorphone 3x a day. Oxymorphone is new to me all the other meds I've been on over 10 years"


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"I Have had IBS for 30 years now ago. My PCP recently wrote me a script for Donnatal Elixer. Unfortunately, my prescription insurance is denying me this medication stating, "Non-Essential Medication...Rejected, Not Covered." I want to know when my prescription insurance company received their medical degree and at what time have they ever examined me and/or read through my complex medical conditions/history. To add insult to injury I also have Common Variable Immune Deficiency which is known to cause major G/I complications, including infections and intestinal inflammation/pain. I plan to appeal the denial for the Donnatal Elixer. Also, the intestinal cramping I suffer renders me paralyzed with pain, unable to sit or walk."


"Non of the listed side effects, but after one month at prescribed dosage my red, white and platelet counts were down. Needed platelet and red cell infusion, on two consecutive weeks after dosage was stopped."


"I started taking Alli because I had read that it may loosen the stools. I have milk issues that when I drink milk I get bound up which is very painful.  I was told lactose lol um... nope, (drank lactose free milk and had the worst belly pains ever) so I decided to try Alli I only take a pill at night and have bm the next morning Yay! I do have oily yuck left in the toilet but hey loosing a bit of weight even with just the one pill!"


"I have been on long term/long acting narcotics which have made me very constipated. I was going once every 3-4 weeks and when I did go it was hard and caused a lot of bleeding. I have tried every thing imaginable enemas, suppositories, laxatives and stool softeners to no avail. I asked my GI doctor for this or Amitiza and was told that these were only available for IBS-C and he told me to do things I was already doing (drink plenty of water, eat leafy green veggies and take stool softeners). My primary care doctor (who is a saint) said lets try it anyway and it worked! I only go 2 -3 times per week but it is so good to know that I have some resemblance of regularity now. "


"I was given this medicine from my Dr. I told her I would research it but I paid $25 and picked it up. What a waste of money, I should've researched first. After reading this I'm deathly afraid to take this drug so I won't be. Thank you for all the reviews."


"Not only does it help my anexiety, but it also helps to relax the muscles in my back.  I broke my back in 2002 was sent home on a Saturday morning at 10 am from a 15 foot fall breaking my 2 and 3 lower lumbar vertabras in my lower back.  I was given 2 demerol pills for the whole weekend, and told to go see my family Dr for full time pain management.  Thats Canadian Health Care for you.  Wouldn't even give me a perscription to get me through the weekend just 2 demerol pills.
I have been taking four 0.5mg a day and I have been able to cut my pain medication in almost half ( Fentanyl and Dilaudid.)"


"At first I was reluctant to take a pill even though I had been diagnosed with major depression.  My family talked me into taking this medication. I am on my third week of taking Zoloft. The first week my doctor started me on 50mg.  The first few days I felt awful but stuck with the medication. I had not felt much relief in my depression and anxiety on 50mg so my psych doc put me on 100mg after two weeks.  I am on day 4 taking 100mg sertraline and have already started to notice a difference in my mood.  I am less anxious and worry much less at work.  I am also beginning to venture out of the house more than I used to.  The only side effects I've had on sertraline are mild headache, diarrhea, and decrease in sexual performance."


"This drug is great. Sure you can go med free, which I've done, to prove to yourself that anxiety can't hurt you and there is nothing to fear (blah blah blah) - BUT my life truly was misery with this approach. What's the point, I told myself, of proving I can tough it out.

Left unchecked anxiety can spin you into fearing all kinds of silly stuff - doctor/dentist visits, flying, being stuck in traffic, shopping ....

Klonopin kills the deep down anxiety.

Oh - and if all you have is anxiety (no depression) - stay far far away from the antidepressants......some friendly advice."


"Negative side effects:
1. Weight gain: I'm very petite, & I workout at least 4 times a week. I track my activity using a Fitbit, & while taking this BC my activity was actually higher than the previous month. That being said, I still gained about 7 pounds. My appetite increased, but not enough to justify this weight gain. By my calculations, I should have been losing weight due to higher activity levels. Additionally, the eight gain only occurred around my mid section, & felt bloated and uncomfortable.
2. Mood Swings: I rarely cry, and when I do it's for good reason. With this BC, I wanted to cry over everything.
3. Acne- My skin was clear before taking this, & now I have cystic acne all over my forehead and cheeks."


"Got the birth control inserted in January 2015. It hurt when I first got it inserted. And for a few months after that. My period became regular in MAY. From time to time I get birth control cramps, especially after having sex with my husband. The only thing I would worry about is the fact that you may sometimes get vaginal infections. Like BV for example.
I love this BC because I've lost weight"


"Brought A1C down from 13 to 6.5"


"I'm an on day 16 of Paxil 10mg. For the past few months I have suffered from increasingly more frequent panic attacks and got to the point where I was afraid to go more than 20 minutes away from my "safe zone," aka my house. After about 4 days of the medication, I felt my anxiety had worsened and almost quit Paxil about a week in. I'm writing this today feeling almost back to my normal self and that's a great feeling! Hopefully the medication keeps working better til I'm at 100%."


"Im on my 10th pack of Sprintec and its great! I was initially really scared because I had read reviews about different birth controls on google and didnt know what to expect, but you really have to try it yourself to see. I started it for my acne and the first month on it I was getting used to it so I was sad for a week or two but once i adjusted I have had absolutely zero side effects and it has helped with my acne tremendously. Highly recommend!"


"The second I got my period I knew I would write a review since they helped me so much! New relationship, got carried away and he orgasmed completely inside of me 3 days after my period(08/03). Knew I probably wasn't very fertile but sperm sticks around so I took Plan B 10 hours later(08/04). Had 4 days of fatigue after taking and then a week of back aches and cramping. I thought I'd get some spotting or bleeding in general but nothing happened, no breast pain. Thought something would happen after two weeks but nothing. Finally after a month I got my period!(08/28) so in retrospect I had a normal cycle with a lot more added anxiety. You will be ok!❤"


"I have been on Aviane for about 4 years, it has definitely done its job of preventing pregnancy. Unfortunately I have not experienced any larger breast as said by other users of this medicine. I also have not gained weight. The only thing that has changed is I do have light acne as opposed to having no acne before. I absolutely love my Aviane."


"I felt like this drug worked better than vicodin, demerol and percocet. I received Nubain in the ER after a gall bladder attack. Immediate relief and no side effects from the worst pain I've ever experienced."


"The only reason it's not a 10 for me is side effects, which were very significant at first but have gotten well into a reasonable range. I researched heavily before starting, know it can be hell to discontinue, and if the relief hadn't been so immense within days from both pain and anxiety I probably would have stopped it--glad I didn't. Took about 5-6 weeks for depression to get under control, but I feel great now. No cognitive issues like Neurotin, pain meds, and Ativan, no sleepiness for me (sleeplessness was a bigger problem at first). I have osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, lumbar disk pain, GAD, chronic depression issues."


"Great product. I suffered since high school (now 32) with having to change shirts multiple times per day. It made me depressed to be so uncomfortable all day. Once I began using the product, within days there was a noticeable difference. A life changer."


"I took it for at least half a year but it really did nothing for me."


"This medication is absolutely amazing. I've tried Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Viibryd, Paxil and Cymbalta over the course of ten years.

Brintellix was the first medication that didn't give the unpleasant "disconnected/sedated" side effects of other SSRI'S. As a male, the sexual side effects a minute.

I began on 5mg for two weeks and achieved a therapeutic dose of 10mg once a day. I have my life back and it also helps with obsessive compulsive disoder symptoms. I suggest taking right before bed, as it can make you a little drowsy."


"I have been on the patch for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it! It is much simpler than the pill, because you don't have to worry about forgetting about it! I've found that since starting it, my skin has been better, I don't get headaches, my sex drive is normal, no weight gain, and not as moody! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is annoyed with the dailiness of the pill."


"I was prescribed premarin 1.25 right after a total hysterectomy 11-1983.  This was to help avoid at age 32 hot flashes, dryness in skin and hair, and protect my bones.  Personal dryness.  I took it for 20 yrs.  Then when the doctors thought I was having a heart attack in in 4-2004 they took my off of it cold turkey. in 2-2009 I was found to have stage 1.5 breast cancer.  Cancer dr. told me it was from taking premarin for 20 yrs.  Should only been prescribed no more than 7 yrs.  The cancer was caused by extra hormones.  Extra hormones was driving my endometriosis that was the cause of removing everything in 1983.  My cancer dr. said with my family background I was lucky never to had a major heartattack."


"Xanax made me crazy. I am now in the process of weaning off of it. You cannot stop Xanax cold turkey. It'll be another two weeks before I'm done."


"I tried it today cause I’ve been getting really bad migraines and I tried it expecting it to work but instead I got bad side effects neck is tighten and I also have a severe migraine really disappointed and going to speak to my doctor about finding me something else never taking it again..."


"After having had bilateral hip arthritis for over 16 years with osteopenia and herniated disk at 4  locations (L2- L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1) but found OTC drugs  (Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Meloxicam) not really effective. Found physical therapy comforting on lumbar disks but not at all on arthritis. I have been coping with increasing pain since 2016. My primary care physician sent me to a pain intervention specialist who prescribed me to 25mcg Butrans 4 patches (out of pocket and very expensive) with Tramadol 50mg to catch up with in 7 days. It's been over 3 days on Butrans with ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT AT ALL.    Very Disappointed.  I am calling my Doc first thing in the Monday morning."


"I'm 23, never given birth, had it inserted 9/16. I have high pain tolerance, but the insertion was brutal and I nearly passed out. Horrible cramps and weakness the next few days. Although it's effective, I almost got it removed in the first couple of months because of side effects: crazy mood swings, cramps, bloating, cravings, acne all over, spotting. Like puberty all over again. My doctor advised me to give it 6 months and see how I feel. 4 months in and the side effects are getting better, more noticeable around my period, which has become much lighter but longer. I went from a heavy 4-5 days on the pill to a very light 10-12. I'm not sure if it's a good trade, but I'm going to wait and see if the hormones level out."


"I used Mobic for 1 year with great results for knee pain and

no side effects.  Orthopedic surgeon would not continue prescription for fear of long-term effects.  Knee pain returned within 5 days.  Will consult with primary care doc

for new prescription."


"I was prescribed this drug for severe depression following massive stroke and head pain. This is very effective in that respect. It is also very, very expensive, and there is no generic. Without adequate insurance coverage, this medication is probably beyond the means of many patients."


"I'm going to echo what most everyone has said, and RELAX....IT WORKS!!  The woman I slept with (did not use a condom and she is not on birth control) just got her period today.  I stressed way too much so my advice is to stay preoccupied, and let the pill do it's job."


"I have now tried Enbrel two different times. It worked really well the first few weeks and has gradually lost its effectiveness."


"I've been on this medication for one week (10mg) and have found it to work quite well. I'm not running to the bathroom constantly and I am able to hold my urine until I can get there when I do have to go. I am experiencing dry mouth, which I hope will go away, and I have been a little drowsy but neither of these side effects are unmanageable. I started taking Metamucil 2x daily and have not been constipated yet. I will keep taking it but may try cutting the pills in half to make the prescription last longer (expensive!)"


"I was taking hydrochlorothiazide and my blood pressure was still 190/120. Doc added Twynsta to it and now I'm literally a perfect score. 144/83. Hasn't even been a month yet!"


"I have taken Macrobid in the past, and it is great on clearing up UTI's."


"I have cancer and this drug takes my mind of death and is a great sleep aid."


"Had lots of Herxheimer reaction with this drug."


"Took this for 10 days after dental surgery.  A week or so later I developed pretty much non-stop diarrhea which was then diagnosed as Clostridium Difficlle, aka CD,

Took drugs for 7 months (Flagyl)  until it finally went away with Vancomycin.

Stay away from Clindamycin !"


"I would recommend this to anyone. I first had implanol at 19, back in 2009. I had a two week long period and that was the last period I've had. I'm now 24 and coming to the end of my second implant and I can honestly say I have had no bad side effects. When I was on the pill I came out in terrible acne, I had none with this implant. I haven't had any weight gain but I've always been around 150-160 pounds.
I'm living in the UK so for me (thanks to our amazing heathcare) this product is free, but I would pay for it if I had to. You have it changed once every three years and you're sorted until next time or you decide to have a little one. Fab."


"I started adipex today and took it at 8am this morning...it's now 10:30 am and I feel hungry and don't have the energy everyone has talked about...I only took a half of a 37.5 guess I'll try a whole one tomorrow...."


"I have never had kids and am not in a position to have kids any time soon. Mirena was a perfect solution. Having it inserted hurt like hell but only for a few seconds and then I had a good 2 months of on and off cramping but its been a year and a half and so far and I love it. I really don't get a period anymore which is amazing considering how heavy my periods were before. Best thing ever in my opinion."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"jittery, dry mouth, shortness of breath, tightness in chest, exacerbated hand tremors, diarrhea, nausea, headache, hot flash every day.  Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) marginally improved at best."


"I had bronchitis that I thought went away after a Zpak. It was back within a few weeks, so I went back and got put on 10 days of cephalexin. Day 6 I was still coughing all night (and lots of the day), so I got some samples of Avelox. I was a little scared after reading some of the horror stories, but I couldn't stand the coughing anymore and I was willing to try whatever. I am on Day 3. The medicine (I think?) makes me sweat and feel a little "off" for a couple hours after I take it, but other than that, I am pleased to report no side effects (knocking on wood!) and a dramatic reduction in coughing. I take it after lunch and am drinking LOTS of fluids (as per instructions) and I am amazed at how well it seems to be working."


"Best medication ever. It takes a bit to kick in but once it does ....amazing.  I am on my way to getting my life back. Don't get discouraged it works. I was in my sixth week before i felt it and my doctor increased me to 20 mg and things are going great."


"I decided to get Skyla since my doctor said it was the best choice for me since I've never given birth before. My OBGYN said to schedule my appointment for the week after my period. At my appointment, my OBGYN couldn't feel where my uterus was since I had some curvature blocking access to it. He straightened it out, which was very painful! Then inserted Skyla. I got Skyla on 4/26/17 and it's been four days since it was inserted. I'm still getting really painful cramps, migraines, dizziness and some spotting. I'm not sure if Skyla's really worth all this pain."


"I'm 15 and I've been on Trinessa for about a month. I have NO side effects. I'm on the pill for acne and I'll tell you it does get worse then better. I had the worst breakouts when I first started it and I wanted too get off the pill but I was going be patient. Now my skin is improving. I recommended this for you. Try it."


"This is the first day on Belviq XR so I haven't been able to notice much of a change in my eating lesser. I didn't experience any headaches or nausea. Actually had a little more energy. Now I've just did 3 months on Phentermine 37.5 mg and I went from 282 lbs to 251 lbs(without exercising much) I wanted to continue the phentermine. But my doctor said 3 months is the limit. He suggest I try Belviq since you can remind on Belviq longer. I am 5'10' and current weight is 251 lbs. My goal is too get down to 190 lbs and I am very optimistic in reaching this goal."


"4mg every day wipes away damn near all my withdrawal symptoms and allows me to be comfortable and live a much better life than I would without the subs. Great stuff. Recommend anyone that is stuck on opiates (heroin, oxy, shit even methadone) to give buprenorphine a chance."


"This review is for the injectable form of Imitrex (sumatriptan) only. For anyone that has tried the pill or nasal spray forms and found them ineffective, please try the injections. They work wonders and act fast. I've tried the other types and they actually seemed to make me more nauseous and (especially the nasal spray).  I keep one in my purse at all times so that I can get relief anytime a migraine hits. The pain is not bad as the needle is very small and thin. You don't have to jab yourself, just press against your skin and push a button. The pain of migraine is much worse! I've found the most comfortable injection site to be the bit of fat at the top of my buttox. I use the 6mg injections but I'm pretty sure there is also a lower dose."


"Micanozole  also used in Monistat  yes is one of the worse feeling creams for a yeast infection . I & several others have switched to a another cream called Clotrimazole instead. It is literally the opposite. It has NO BURNING or tingling. I don't know how people stand Miconazole or Monistat. It like putting yourself thru all that pain.  NOW PLEASE UNDERSTAND, this medicine may take 2 doses where monistat may take 1 use.  This means If you use monistat 3 , then you would need to buy two of the Clotrimazole 3 to do the job typically. If you buy the 1 day then you would need to buy two 1 day boxes of this.. Its milder so it takes a little longer , BUT... THERE IS NO PAIN! So I say give me pain free results. I'll take more days."


"The first time I took risperidone I became extremely drowsy which made me a bit nervous but the drowsiness went away after the first three days.  I also had horrendous nightmares so I switched to taking it in the morning and the nightmares went away.  On the positive side my auditory and visual hallucinations completely went away immediately which enabled me to make it to therapy more frequently and sleep more often and slowly over years build up a healthy and stabilizing lifestyle.  It also helped with increasing my attention and memory.  I noticed some weight gain and slightly lower libido. I have taken it regularly for a couple years and weened off it.  I have now been off for two and a half years with almost zero returning symptoms."


"This makes the acne into white heads
and then the next couple days it vanishes. Be sure to clean face with dove soap before and only use Epiduo every couple days."


"ICE! I've used this product twice and the itching was so unbearable I almost cried both times, but I did some research the second time and it recommended icing your labia and vulva so I tried it and what a sweet relief. Sit on a little bag of ice while you use this product and the itch will be very manageable, otherwise it's horrible. Not entirely sure this product is worth it."


"I woke up Day 1 with a Tighten lip, I reached for the Abreva, I put it on 5x a day the first day. I woke up the cold sore was twice it size my lip was so swollen, Day 2 I started using 200mg of acyclovir it seemed to help a little bit not much. After speaking back with my doctor he decided to give me Valtrex 2000mg 2x a day for 1 day. After my first dose I notice my lip wasn't as swollen, I take my second dose tonight at 11. I will keep you guys updated on how I'm doing! I hope it works as good as everyone says!"


"I've been going through this for 7 years and this is the first medicine to ever make me stable. Thank you Latuda."


"Caused anxiety and depression. Didn't realise this after taking them for a year. When I stop taking them I became my good old self. Doc confirmed this side effects afterwards cause I had a new doc"


"This gel is really effective as it minimizes the pimple/acne is just one night. You can definitely go for it."


"A gastroenterologist prescribed this for me when I was having very severe abdominal pain from Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and IBS. Well, it did everything but relieve the pain. It blurred my vision, made me nauseous, gave me a pounding headache, made me feel very hot, dried my mouth, made me drowzy, and slowed down my heart rate. The pain continued to worsen, and I ended up in the ER. I had several more attacks afterwards, and the Levsin didn't work then, either. I was then referred to another gastroenterologist, who prescribed me Bentyl and Doxepin. While I have had less side effects with them, they haven't touched my pain, either."


"I am a 20 year old male and have been on 10mg of Lexapro for about 2 months.  I was experiencing panic attacks (minor and major) at least once every day at it's worst and would have one driving or at the movies assuredly every time I went or drove.  I never have taken medication regularly in my life and am otherwise a healthy person.  After experiencing a traumatic event last year, I began having panic attacks.  In the last month I believe I have had two panic attacks.  This medicine has helped me substantially.  The first week is tough, I experienced a little nausea, headaches, and neck/back muscle tightening, but that went away fairly quickly.  Just stick with it!"


"I have been on lexapro for 7 months and it has helped me greatly! I was on Paxil previously and gained 20kg so asked to change medication. Lexapro has stopped the panic attacks and made me feel more confident, I can now go to the shops on my own, drive places on my own and hang out with friends without thinking the worse will happen. Only thing is I've gained about 8kg and I cannot lose the weight. I had no side effects what so ever when I started, maybe it's because I was previously on Paxil, but I didn't have any side effects apart from weight gain with that either. So if you are feeling nervous about starting this medication because of the side effects don't be, you might be one of the lucky ones who don't get side effects."


"Skyla works great for me. Now. When I first had it inserted it was the worst! I've broken bones and had kidney stones and it wasn't as bad as the pain I had after it was inserted. I was sick to my stomach after and in pain, bed ridden for a few days. The pain continued for about a month, lots of spotting. I will never get it again, but after the pain it serves as great and easy birth control without worries."


"Broke my elbow.  Did Nothing for pain.  Took Ibuprofen.  Worked better than that junk. Fortunately, it only cost $4."


"I started on Hizentra 3 months ago and I am quite pleased with the differance it has made. I was always feeling run down and so so tired all the time and I would have one Sinus infection after an other. I was so sick of taking antibiotics. They say at about four months I will be close to my plateau, I don't know about that as I was quite run down. Each week has had its ups and downs, You know i step forward and 2 back, lately however I have been noticing a more level and steady state.

I don't care to much for inserting the 4 needles every week and the injection site pain but it is only there for a couple of days then I have 5 days to enjoy life.

Good luck to you!

Mike"


"I am 36 and have suffered from occasional anxiety attacks since my early 20s. I get severe hot/cold sweats, tingling limbs, severe nausea/vomiting, feeling like I might crap myself, heart palpitations.  The symptoms come in increasingly bigger waves often for 6-8hrs.

Someone finally told me about lorazepam.  I was a bit afraid to take a chemical but this time, when I was sure an attack was coming I decided to take it right away. Because of the lorazepam the attack didn't get worse.  It slowly faded till I was able to sleep it off. This is a huge difference from the hours of horrible physical symptoms I experienced in the past.  I hope that me sharing this helps you."


"I was diagnosed wit Ulcerative Colitis 3 years ago after being on several different meds for it. My doc and I decided to try Remicade.. it works fine I think but the side effect for me was diarrhea. Plus the cost I just couldn't afford it any longer. I am back on Asacol."


"Works quite well on insomnia but careful when combining with other meds that also work on your sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system. I took it with lexapro and got significant problems with too low heart rate, respiratory issues and hypnic jerks."


"Lisinopril caused a bad nightly cough (common side effect) that interrupted my sleep all night, every night. I had to keep cough medication within reach in order to get any sleep at all! It also affected my voice. Other prescription medications have proven to be more effective without this side effect."


"I've been on Rexulti for about 2-3 months after taking Abilify for about 10 years, which I had to quit for various reasons.
Rexulti is great for my depression; I've had zero anxiety, and it's really the only drug out there that works for me at this point.
I didn't give it the full 10 points for two reasons. The first reason is I get really hot when I go outside in moderate, 70 degree temperatures. I can't handle hardly any heat! Second, while 2mg works great now, getting up to that dose is hard! I was sleep-deprived for the first month on 1/2mg, and until I got up to my current does, I didn't sleep very well.
One other thing, this medication does better for me without Topamax! Apparently Topamax can minimize the effects of Rexulti!"


"My husband gets very sick, vomiting after surgery until his Doctor gave Emend to him prior to surgery, and he did not get sick after surgery at all."


"I have been on it for 4 months now and I lost 44 lbs so far. It makes you eat smaller portions if you try to eat more your stomach will hurt. I'm sweaty and dry mouth all the time which makes me drink more water. I still eat what I want but I try and stay away from soda and sweats much as possible."


"I got switched from Aubra to Vienva and it was such a smooth transition. This birth control is great! I have not experienced anything abnormal with my body, I’ve stayed the same. I have noticed my skin has cleared up a bit more, there are those occasional zits here and there but thats normal. I would recommend this birth control but everyone’s body is different so who knows, but by far it has been a great experience."


"Made me sooooo tired, but still also was able to make my anxiety spike, but worse by far is I LOST 80% OF MY ONCE BEAUTIFUL HAIR!"


"26 when diagnosed, 3 ablation, at least 50 cardioversions open heart Cox Maiden success.   At 37 went on Tikosyn.   I live a normal life in sinus rhythm 99 percent of the time. If I had to do all over I would not have had any surgery.  However a very nice effect of the Cox Maize is that it nearly eliminated my risk of stroke. Been on Tikosyn for five years with no noticeable side effects."


"I have had migraines my whole life and I am happy with the combination I am on now of Fiorinal and daily 100 mg Topamax.  I can't handle more than 100 mg (50 mg twice a day) of the topamax without unwanted side effects. 100 mg of Topamax is not enough to keep me headache free. It only cuts down on the headaches and makes them not so intense -instead of 9s and 10s I get 7s and 8s. Fiorinal knocks the headaches right out. If I catch it in time I only need to take 1 but if it's a really bad one, I take 2 and lie down. It has worked great for my tension - cluster migraines."


"Very Happy. Vimovo worked just as the Doctor ordered. Best of all, NO STOMACH ACHES AFTER."


"I took the max strength two times a day for 5 months when I was 17 and it was well worth it.  Around the 2 month mark my acne got worse but then around month 3 and 4 it was completely gone and has never returned, the only time I get a pimple now is when I have an ingrown hair.  My suggestions are to keep a tube of Vaseline with you for your lips, stay out of the sun, and make sure that you don't give up early on the treatment because you think your acne is getting worse."


"I took this a while back and lost 16 lbs in one month. I wanted to try the Belviq instead so Dr prescribed that. Made me dizzy and disoriented so started back on the Bontril again.  This time around in doing the Atkins diet along with it so I should be ready to go to Cozemel in January. This stuff is great."


"When I was in grade school I had a real hard time learning. I could not pay attention in class. My mind was always wandering. I was always daydreaming and looking out the windows, I could not retain any information. I was forgetful and bored. My grades were always C's and D's no matter how hard I tried. I was always fidgety, had a hard time sitting still, always twirling my hair or shaking my legs or feet. I hated school, I felt so dumb. As I got into high school I was so far behind I gave up trying. When I started driving I would go through red lights, stop signs etc. I was just daydreaming all the time. I kept losing my car keys, my glasses, forgetting where I put them. I am out of space, but Adderal saved my life! I am 59. No side effects"


"I found out about the bar last year in October, I was on the pill, I went on the bar because it was an easier option not needing to remember to take a pill every morning, the first 2 weeks of the bar was great!! I started lossing weight just like that after that two weeks I began a period that took forever to go away around 1 month. I started getting headaches and very emotional. But other than that it fine! The great thing about it was I lost 7 kgs and got eat whatever I wanted and still didn't gain weight"


"Pirmella 7/7/7: I am so relieved to be on this medication! It has helped my PCOS tremendously. I've lost weight, which I have not been able to do with diet & exercise before. I do experience breast tenderness & nightmares, but if that's all I have to deal with & I am losing weight, then I will take it."


"took lunesta for 3 weeks, horrible side effects:  increased crazy amounts of  anxiety, insomnia, wierd feelings in my stomach, thought 'I was going off the rails.  "


"I was prescribed Aldactone 100mg for facial hair. At first I had side effects of discomfort in my stomach however I persisted and it stopped. This medication works, it's slows down the hair growth however the side effects out way the results. Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, constipation, feet swelling, appetite and stomach pain, the list goes on. Even though I have reduced the dose from 100, to 75 and further to 50 I will be getting off this."


"8 more days to go, so I figure if any bad side effects were going to happen, I would have had them by now.  I noticed big toenail started clearing after 10 days on the product.  Now, it is over a quarter inch clear from bottom up; the doctor said to give it 9 months from the start of treatment for the nail completely grows out clear.  Two other infected nails showing marked improvement.  Only the little toenail does not appear to be coming in normal.     No side effects to note."


"This is my first birth control and I've been on it for almost two years. It has helped my acne I little bit but I'm also on acne medication. Weight gain has been maybe 5-7 pounds gained. The only thing I really don't like about this birth control is it gives you symptoms as if you were pregnant even if you are not and they come mainly one to two weeks before my period. Periods are always consistent. Other than everything bad, It's doing it's job at not allowing me to get pregnant so that's good!"


"Took one Aggrenox in the morning and one at night and it caused extreme nausea, headache, diarrhea, stiff joints, and weakness all night and vomiting in the morning. This was prescribed after one cardiovascular event. Had tried Plavix 75 mg for 4 months with poor results. Then tried Plavix 159 mg for 6 weeks and still no results in platelet test."


"I've taken these as needed and every time I have to prepare myself for being "uncomfortable" and prepared by not leaving the house for at least 4-5 hours. I have to say it will make you go however the next 3-5 hours are unpredictable.
I've experienced some withdrawal type feelings as well as anxiety/ restlessness.
I keep this medication on hand incase I really need it to "go".
I may take 1/2 of a dose and see if I can get a more gradual BM."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for about 7 months now. It is the best birth control I have used. It is hassle free for me and I do not have to remember to take a pill. The only side effects I have gotten are a little backache, little mood swings and slight cramping, but the plus side is I have shorter periods and lighter ones, overall best decision ever!"


"I was on the shot for about 3yrs but decided to change to a birth control, and my Doctor recommended Tri-Nessa since I had mild acne. So I started taking it and I have to say I love it. My period comes at the same time every month, no pregnancy scares and I often have sex unprotected. My acne cleared up. The only side effect I had in the beginning was tender breast, and being a little emotional. After it went away. I take the pill at the same time every day. So I highly recommend to everyone."


"Next to Frova (which is, to me, the miracle drug), Maxalt-MLT has been by far the most helpful triptan migraine medication. And it's also quite convenient, as it dissolves in your mouth (without having a horrible taste, even)."


"I was crippled with anxiety, depression, and nagging intrusive thoughts. Zoloft has allowed me to live again. Please don't allow the stigma and misinformation out there about antidepressants prevent you from getting help and finding relief. Once your body adjusts to Zoloft (this can take upwards of 2-4 weeks), you will find relief and peace. I used a pill cutter to cut the prescribed dose (25 mg) in half and took the half dose for two weeks. Then I increased it to the prescribed dose. This is much easier on the body. Please consider doing this so you're not overcome and discouraged by some of the initial side effects. Good luck friends."


"I have taken this for four days. On day two I noticed I was extremely agitated. I suspected the antibiotic but didn't look into it. Day three was worse. I began to have thoughts of suicide and hateful thoughts I had never thought before. Today I stopped taking it after googling the side effects. Interestingly enough I didn't have diarrhea or cramping but did have nausea."


"Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. I took Plan B within 2 and a half hrs of our fiasco. I had the sharp pain in my side and cramps when my period came a week and half later. I never want to be in the predicament again! I don't want to end up pregnant."


"I took the monistat 1 about 2 hours ago and I'm losing it! I've taken the 3 day before but it was never like this I'm not sure whether to go to the ER or douche or what. I literally want to have my vagina removed right now that's how uncomfortable I am"


"Holy cow..I'm on the nuva ring and so far I'm on my 3rd yeast infection in 5 months. The first two yeast infections monistat 7 worked perfectly fine, slight itching but not unbearable. THIS TIME MY WHOLE VAGINA IS IN BURNING HELL. First night I cried for hours in pain, no sleep that night..now I'm in my second night and it's 4am. IT IS TWICE AS BAD..this caused so much itching pain...I was biting my pillow to keep myself from screaming IN PAIN. From reading these reviews there's something seriously wrong here, no one should be in crying pain from a CREAM. Right now the only thing that's helping is an ice pack in a plastic bag numbing my whole vagina...seriously is this a horrible mess of a batch..not sure.."


"This is the second time I'm taking this pills. The first time I lost 30 pounds in just a few short weeks. Now I've been on them for almost a month now and I've lost 17 pounds. Theses pills really help curb your appetite and I don't even think of eating."


"I take been taking Latuda for year i have gone to 40mg up 80mg

I can take 40mgs but it doesn't help and 80mgs makes me feel high and i hate that feeling and the voices don't stop or seeing shadows where people are wearing black gowns i still need more help i can't work because i feel like everybody talking about me all the time but worst thing is seeing things thats not really there"


"I've been on these tablets now for about 2 an a half years, I hear all these stereo types of comments all the time, but different people suffer from different types of illnesses.

I can honestly say that the intended dosage that I'm currently on is working and therefore my own experience is the drug is fine."


"I feel obligated to share my experience with Lexapro.  Before seeking psychiatric treatment, I'd spend hours on this website (a well as others) reading reviews of Lexapro and similar SSRIs.  I suffer from GAD and Lexapro has helped tremendously.  The only downside was the side effects at first (unable to achieve orgasm, crazy dreams, extreme gas), but those have subsided.  My partner notices a complete turnaround in my stability.  I am very thankful for Lexapro.  I am so glad that I made it trough the first few weeks with the side effects.  This drug changed my life."


"Absolutely LOVE IT! With every other birth control I've used, my periods were unpredictable, but they have been almost perfect since I started the NuvaRing.  I have gained a few pounds, but that's no big deal, because it beats thinking I am pregnant every month or that I'm going to die from losing so much blood."


"My Dermatologist prescribed me Aczone (morning) and Veltin (similar to Retin A in the evening)....Wow! my 4 month results are amazing. I think Aczone played a major part in minimizing my current cystic acne and keeping newly formed acne under control. My friend started using Retin A for the same reasons, during the same time I started my treatment. Our results were night and day. A lot of treatments will make your acne "get worse before it gets better." The major benefit of Aczone is not going through that phase.

so far so GREAT! I am completely acne free..I haven't had a pimple in almost a month! "


"I had my Kyleena inserted yesterday & I took 1000 mg of Tylenol an hour before. My Dr wanted to insert it during my menstrual cycle to make it easier, which was fine with me. The pain was about 8/10 but only lasted for about 5 minutes total, including insertion and afterwards. The biggest thing was that I got really dizzy and had nausea. In high school, pre birth control, I had periods where the cramping was so bad I'd pass out, so it just felt like one of my old period cramps, honestly. I'm cramping a little this morning, but nothing too bad. My flow has even decreased. So far I'm very pleased!"


"Since I've been on strattera I've felt tired & listless -- I can't even work up enough energy for essentials like laundry & dishes. I've been on it for 5 months. My worst side effects are nausea, fatigue, irritability, and strange dreams. It feels like I start dreaming before I even fall asleep and it's driving me crazy. In typical ADHD fashion I forgot my meds at work over the weekend & had to go without -- I woke up at 4am to the worst headache I've ever had. I have an appointment on Wednesday & will be doing my damnedest to get my doc to switch me to a different med. I think it did a little for my ADHD but I also upped my coffee intake while I was on this med."


"I literally have tried every home remedy and allergy medicine out there. Until I tried Walgreens generic claritin-d for nasal congestion and allergies, way cheaper and you get the same results. I had nasal congestion, fever/ headaches, itchy throat, and earaches. After one dose I felt like a new person. I truly recommend this product to anyone suffering from the same symptoms I had... :-)"


"Amazing, works well for panic attacks, etc."


"I was at 260 pounds which made me very scared and determined to do something about it.  I started Qsymia on Feb.13 and have only been on the starter dose of 3.75.  I have been using MyfitnessPal and tracking my food intake, trying to eat less carbs/sugars and more proteins and more complex carbs (like vegetables and whole grains).  I went to doctor today, March 18 and lost  9 pounds.  I am super happy.  I have the tingling toes and fingers.  I have the somewhat blurry vision but it's not that bad.  My goal is to get off high blood pressure meds and get to a healty weight.  The doctor upped my prescription to 7.5 and I'm hoping for even better results."


"Cipro is a Fluoroqunilone. The FDA has issued a Black Box Warning -- the most severe warning it can issue -- on all Fluoroquinolone antibiotics because they cause so many horrible, longterm side effects (like permanent tendonitis on multiple parts of the body) that may take years to come to light."


"Have been on Seroquel for 4 weeks for depression. I take it before bed. Still experiencing a "hangover" type feeling in the mornings. I gained 8 pounds in the first 3 weeks I took. Makes me want to eat even when I am not hungry.  However, I am not crying as much, can handle day-to-day life better, and I haven't had chest pain or racing heart beats since I started, which is a great improvement. "


"After having every allergic reaction in the book and experiencing every single side effect of Dilantin my doctor quickly switched me to Lamictal. I love it. Not one negative side effect to mention! If only it helped me lose weight! (P.S. My Petit seizures are well under control and I haven't had a grand mal since before I was medicated 6 years ago)."

"I have been on loestrin for almost 2 months and have had only one day that I wasn't experiencing breakthrough bleeding. I can't wait to switch to something else."


"I had been on Loestrin 24, which switched to Lomedia24FE (on for about 4 years) and after finding out that the manufacturer was backordered until April 2018, I threw in the towel and stopped calling pharmacies within a 100 mile radius of me haha.

My doctor wrote my new RX for Microgestin 24 and Junel24 was what showed up at Walgreens.

I take it at night before bed and for all I know I'm still takin Lomedia24. I haven't experienced any side effects which I am so grateful for."


"I love Cipro. I have had it several times before for a bladder infection, and again recently after passing a kidney stone. It works so fast. I have nothing bad to say about it, in fact I have noticed that my skin has cleared up, I know it isn't for that but my skin has never been this clear."


"works great"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Developed atrial flutter then atrial fibrillation several years post-op. This and beta-blocker really straightened it out. Cardiologist took me off Coumadin a few years ago for a month. He had to put me back on it due to flutter that just wouldn't quit... took a few weeks to straighten me out again. It was his idea, not mine. Only drawback is monitoring amount of green vegetables eaten every day and need a PT drawn every 2 weeks or so."


"It didn't work as fast as I thought it would. Very expensive! $3,600 Made me feel very sleepy and tired . I could sleep all day!"


"Half the reviews on here are a load of garbage. They range from "the side effects are too awful" to "It gives me more anxiety". Do yourself a favor and do not read to any review from anyone who has taken this drug for less than 8 weeks. If you are serious about reducing your anxiety, then grow some balls and give zoloft time to work.

Yes, you're going to have a number of side effects in the beginning, ranging from drowsiness, nausea, sexual disfunction, loss of appetite, and even increased anxiety. Guess what, nearly all of these are going to disappear after the first two weeks. In fact, all of the side effects disappeared for me, and it wasn't until around week 8 that I felt the glorious power of this drug.

GIVE IT TIME"


"I am 18 and have been on tri-cyclen since I was 16. The first 3 months of taking the pill were rough, I was always tired, gained a little weight, and had mood swings. HOWEVER, as it says on the pill pack instructions and through personal experience, as you continue to take it, all of the symptoms go away. I am back to my normal weight (I am 5'2" 108 pounds), not tired anymore, have 100% clear skin, and extremely short, painless periods. I have even forgot to take a pill and it never failed to work, making these great for girls who are just starting birth control. These are low dose so weight gain is NOT a symptom!!! Most of the negative reviews are from  women (who are advised not to take oral contraceptives, 35  years old)"


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


"After 3 years of crippling lower back pain and radiculopathy from L-5 spondylolysthesis, I tried 60 mg of cymbalta : complete game-changer. I experience slight nausea a few times a week, but that's all. I'm back to being a happy, nearly pain -free dad. If I hadn't tried this, I would be facing  surgery by now.  What a blessing."


"I hate it. Insertion wasn't bad but the cramps afterwards were. I've had it for a month and I'm on week three of my period. I'm always hungry. I have an extra few lbs now and I have an itchy and flakes scalp which I never had any of these issues before. I'm just sick of it and it was my last resort for birth control. I'm one of those unlucky woman who has a reaction to all of them. It's not good and I wouldn't recommend it to woman who have reactions or bad experiences with birth control. Everyone is different."


"I have been on this birth control for a little over a year now. It does help menstrual cramps by a ton, but it will take a couple months before the cycle starts becoming a rhythm. I also gained a lot of weight after starting this birth control. Nearly 10 pounds over the course of the year. It also contributes to very high mood swings and anxiety, but overall these things are worth it to stop the pain that came with regular cramps. I used to have to miss school certain days when they were bad, but now I hardly notice them."


"It works better than any other medicine I have tried.  Down side is the itching, which is caused by its negative effect on the liver.  Therefore, I do not take it everyday.  I have to wait a day or so in between."


"I was given these after and while being in the hospital as the result of a car crash. (A couple compression fractures and a broken sternum). I don't really know if it was the Robaxin or the morphine, that relaxed me during the stay. But, during the recovery and physical therapy these really helped with my spasms.  All in all what I learned is not to drive on them. "


"After 38 years of smoking a pack and a half, I tried Chantix. Now it has been 2 months without a cigarette, I am very happy."


"I have used Ambien for 6 years. It worked very well all the time before they introduced the generic brands. The generics are NOT the same as the original and do not produce the same results. They leave me hung over and each manufacturer has his own brew thus are unpredictable in how they will perform. I have offered to pay the difference to get the real Ambien but with no success. Sure wish this wasn't so expensive."


"This is one of the most amazing medicines; and, when used correctly, can neutralize body pain and help you feel like normal again.  Also, it is one of the only medicines on the market that does not make me feel loopy and can function effectively on it. Before taking this I had hip, shoulder, back and foot pain/arthritis and was unable to walk on my foot for several months before getting this medicine.  all good now!"


"I have been on this medication for almost a year. Before I was on Lo Loestrin I had very painful cramps that kept me in bed for at least 2 days every month. This medication has helped to stop those cramps completely. I never have a period and it is the best thing ever. For some women I think that they would be freaked out by not cycling, feeling as though the blood is "trapped" inside them for some reason, but this medicine works by not releasing any eggs, which means the uterus does not need to shed. If I had to complain about anything it would be acne. I have never had acne, especially on my forehead and chest, and it seems like ever since I started taking this medication I constantly have tiny pimples on my chest and forehead."


"I have been on this pill for the past 5 years now. When I first began this pill I had no issues, it immediately regulated my period and decreased cramping and acne. However, over the past few years I have noticed an increase in negative side effects associated with this pill. I find myself to become randomly depressed, emotional and angry. I have little to no sex drive as well as terrible migraines during the week before my period. I have been prescribed 800mg ibuprofen for these migraines, as my gynecologist suggested it could be due to low estrogen levels and they don't even help. I am considering changing pills due to the uncomfortable side effects."


"Generess Fe made me gain 10 lbs in 2 weeks! I had cravings all the time and I was always tired. All I could do is sleep and eat. My body retained so much water around the stomach and thigh area that I couldn't look at myself in the mirror without getting depressed! Overall it was a HORRIBLE experience, I stopped taking it after 3 weeks. My OBGYN said I should have stuck with it for at least 3 months before stopping but I didn't want the 10 pounds to turn into 30 or 50."


"I started taking Reclipsen about a week ago. I have had migraines, mood swings, and I have broken out in hives and gotten rashes several times as well. I will keep being on it for a little while but I will be calling my doctor because the hives are not normal."


"This is my first outbreak. I've been on it for 2 days now and I have no relief. The blisters down in my vagina are awful. I scared go drink anything, because I'm scared to go to the bathroom.. I hope I get some relief soon. When outbreak is gone I hope to do supressive treatment."


"I've been taking this pill for five months. I wanted a contraceptive pill which would control my acne and which would have a lower dosage of hormones as well (I was taking Yaz before). I happen to be very sensitive to hormones. With this pill though, I got cystic acne on my forehead, on my temples, on my cheeks, on my chin and on my neck. I have an acne-prone skin but I have never had such bad acne than since I started this pill ! Also, my mood swings are a rollercoaster and I can feel sad and cry for no reason in the middle of the day and feel happy again right after that. I am done with this pill and am going to find another birth control solution."


"It's been 2 months since starting saxenda and I'm still having big time issues. I'm losing the weight, my a1c is better (it's always been under 7 and is now 6.5) but the side effects are taking its toll. The chronic diarrhea and gut rot have me feeling like an exhausted piece of dirt every day. The nutritionist says I need 50 minutes of Cardio per day, and theres no way this is happening as I just feel like crap all the time. If this wasn't a study I would have bowed out by now. I still may but it is doing what it's supposed to do.... Better blood gluose and weight loss. In the 14 month trial I was supposed to lose 12 pounds, it's been 2 months and I've lost exactly 20 pounds. We will see what the future holds."


"annabamma-  you need to PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that her psoriasis is debilitating.  It must be SEVERE for them to cover the cost of the medicine.  Moderate just wont cut it, it didn't in my case.  I know its easier said than done but I let my skin get horrifically bad just to prove to my insurance that it should be covered.  TAKE PICTURES and see several dermatologists until one considers it a MAJOR problem.  Hope that helps."


"I swore that if Zoloft worked for me, I would come back here and write a review. I hope this gives some people hope who are too scared to take it or try something new. I was first put on Lexapro for serious anxiety, which then led to depression. I was on that for about 9 days. It was terrible! Made my anxiety way worse, vomitting, couldn't sleep. So then I was put on Pristiq. I took it one day (fast acting) and felt so weird, shaking out of control, sick to my stomach, etc. FINALLY. I was put on 50mg of Zoloft. I am on my 4th week of it now and I can honestly say I feel like myself again! Only side effect was extremely tired. So I started taking it at night and that has helped! Good luck!"


"I just bought this spray for the first time yesterday and it's already working! Allegra NEVER helped with any of my symptoms. (runny, itchy, stuffy nose, itchy watery eyes, and sneezing) It doesn't burn either like Rx sprays I've used in the past that cost $100. This was only $18.00 at Safeway for the 120 spray dose. (0.54 oz). Yes it does smell like the light scent of flowers in your nose but it doesn't sting or burn!! Yaaaay! Thank you Flonase I love you!!"


"I have been on 4 different birth controls and I must say that this one is by far the worst one so far. I have gained about 30 pounds since being on it (with the same diet). I am very moody quite often. And I have headaches all of the time."


"It made me feel sick the 1st month at 1.2mg , queasy stomach, not too bad diarrhea, if there is such a thing as good? The biggest thing I noticed was food did not appeal to me at all. I just did not feel like eating anything.  And when I did eat something, I felt full on a few bites. This after about 2 months lead to a 36 lb weight drop and an A1c that went from 7.3 to an A1c of 5.6. I have been on it now for 6 months but no more weight loss or gain. 12hr Fasting Glucose is showing from 75-88.  I never see levels above the 120's after meals, even sweets. I think the problem with Victoza is that it works almost too good! I think some people will go off their diets or cheat a lot more because they have such low A1c's."


"I have Grave's disease with a small node in my thyroid.  Five Dr.'s that I went to, as the previous reviewer stated wanted to radiate and kill my thyroid which would require meds for hypothyroid for the rest of my life.  I then found an endocrinologist who suggested that the node was small and that a small dosage of this medicine may control it.  I was monitored very closely and went into remission after 2 years.  After being okay for another 5 years my thyroid went hyper again and I was put back on a dosage of 2.5 mg/1x per day.  The node has not changed in dimension or mass.  So I am not healed but effectively am under control.  I also have a very minor symptom of Graves' ophthalmopathy, which this medicine controls as well."


"I have been taking Lisinopril for 6 months. I started having a dry cough around 4 months ago. I cannot live like this. I am also tired all the time. I notice other people have said this happened to them after taking Lisinopril. I really don't like this medicine and want to stop taking it as soon as possible. Bad drug."


"I was on the 4 mg for 8 days when I had started experiencing shortness of breath and hives on both sides of my neck. The medication itself worked but I apparently was allergic to an ingredient."


"I had a UTI and was prescribed cipro within 12 hours I had a massive rash with welts and itching. My hands feet and face swelled. I was absolutely miserable. Benadryl helped.  I will stay as far away from this drug as possible."


"Shot has been working well 31 weeks and waiting ."


"My 12 year old son was placed on this medication, 0.5 mg at night and later we added 0.5 mg in the morning.  After 5 months on the medication he had gained a lot of weight.  He had always been physically fit and active.  The medication flattened his mood, he lost interest in activities and it did not help his rages.  We stopped the medication and now a month later we have our son's spark back.  He is happier and more active.  At some point his post traumatic stress disorder/anxiety will trigger and we will have another rage but in the meantime we have a much happier, loving child.  The only downside of quitting Risperdal is his lack of focus for school work."


"Good medicine."


"I applied a small amount on my knees. Within 20 minutes, a rash broke out on both legs with severe itching and burning. I had to go to urgent care where they gave me a steroid injection and script for Prednisone. I'm on day 5 of the script and the rash is finally clearing. Script and Urgent care cost me $90, in addition to the money wasted on Aspercreme!"


"I couldn't move without a lot of pain.  My doctor put on it and in month I was pain free and have been taking it every day since. About ten years now."


"After My doughter' s birth I suffered from this mental illness. Except of weight gain, invega is wonderful medicine."


"I got the miconazole that you use for 3 days. It wasn't even that itchy before I inserted it. 30 seconds after I used it, I felt like my whole vag was on fire! The itchiness and the burning were so extremely uncomfortable I've never felt like that before. I was crying at some point. I waited an hour (put in at 2am) and at 3am I couldn't handle it anymoee so I went and stayed in hot hub. When I got in the hub, I could see the cream coming out of my vag (I'm on my period too so it was worse). I stayed there for hour an a half because I wasnt feeling any itching or burning. I even fell asleep! When I got out I dried it very well and it was sill itchy, but not too much. I could sleep for an hour, now I'm going to school. NEVER AGAIN! DON'T BUY"


"Tried for a few months some years ago.  No side effects, didn't seem as effective as Asacol for me.  Needs specific conditions in the gut to "cleave" into the active medication, I think my particular gut wasn't suited.  Beware that not every med will work in everyone, Asacol included. Try meds and observe how you fare."


"I've been taking Benicar for about 2 years now.  Every other medicine tended to make my feet and ankles swell badly, but this medicine is great.  My blood pressure is consistently about 110/70 (sometimes lower).  No side effects.  I take it in the mornings and do not have a problem with drowsiness, even though I'm really prone to this side effect with other medicines.  I just wish my insurance covered it on their formulary.  As it is I pay $45/month.  This, in combination with the diabetic medicines and supplies, really takes a toll on my budget.  But I guess the results are worth it.  As a state worker in California, though, I may have to investigate less expensive options soon! "


"I have been taking this pill for two weeks now and I have noticed I've been feeling super fatigued. I am usually energetic and outgoing but the past two weeks all I have wanted to do was sleep, even while I'm out with friends I'm still tired."


"I had sex on Feb 21, 4 days before my period was due and his condom broke. I took Plan B One Step 15 minutes after the incident and I got my period right on Feb 24, right on time. I am not pregnant and I am 100 percent convinced that this is my period. I am bleeding right red, heavy blood with cramps (which is always normal for me on the first day). If you are ovulating during unprotected sex, the egg will be waiting for 24 hours until a sperm attaches. So do not wait, the sooner the better. I know Plan B claims that you can take it at 72 hours, however, if you take it within 15 minutes you are golden and you'll be okay. I experienced a headache and light spotting a day after taking Plan B. It can cause a little bleeding, don't be fooled!"


"First time using BC and the procedure wasn't too bad. Just the initial pain during insertion hurt pretty bad but just for 45 seconds. I cramped for about a week. I then haven't experienced a heavy period, just spotting and light bleeding. My only issue with this is having some symptoms of pregnancy which is common but I am a bit paranoid all the time that I could be. I've just got married 3 months ago and had liletta inserted 4 and a half months ago. My husband and I started using condoms as a second form of protection.  But we are not sure how long we will use it for, we really are not trying to get pregnant."


"I used regular microgestin 1/20 and it was fine,  then for some reason a new doctor gave me the microgestin fe 1/20 (iron pills the last week). I got terrible cystic acne and now have scars from it. I realized it the 3rd month and stopped taking the pills the last week. My acne has started to improve."


"I got this birth control put in around early October and today is March 11th. I've scheduled to take it out on Thursday. I read a million horror stories on IUDs but figured every woman's body is different so I'd try it. The insertion was EXTREMELY painful  but a really short process. The pain lasted about 40 seconds. Cramps lasted that day but then went away pretty quickly. About 4 months in I started getting UTI's every single time I had sex. Before I got this IUD I was having sex everyday with my bf sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and never had any issues with UTI's. I know how to clean myself and how to prevent them so clearly it was my IUD causing them. Also I've now had my period for 3 weeks and cramp and back pain. Can't wait to remove it"


"Woke up early in the a.m. 36 hours after applying 5 mcg patch on a Sunday for the first time; knew it had kicked in.  Thereafter, pain relief so-so.  By Thursday, definitely not impressed.  Pain doc's office said it was OK to take hydrocodone "as I had been" prior, AND the patch at the same time.  Don't think I want to spend the rest of my days out of a hot tub, doubtful that I will renew this Rx after one month.  Some constipation."


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


"I had tried so many birth controls when I was a teenager and they would make me bleed non stop, if I was on the pill I threw up like I was pregnant.. my body couldn't handle it.  I am now 23 and I'm on ortho tri cyclen low and I absolutely love it. I haven't had a problem what so ever!!! My periods are right on time, VERY light bleeding (I use to have a heavy period), no cramping.. just a wonderful experience, I recommend this medication to anyone looking for birth control. I am about to get married and after I finish college we are going to try for a baby so I hope it does me just like it did for one of these ladies, she got pregnant right after she came off. I would recommend it to anyone.. if your having problems... try this birth control."


"I've battled with anxiety most of my life. In the last six months I've suffered greatly from severe anxiety due to changes at work. The nurse practitioner I was seeing put me on Lexapro, Risperidone, and Remeron for sleep. Nothing was working, and I was not sleeping at all, I mean literally not sleeping more than one hour night, I was not eating barely anything. It got so bad but I put my notice in at work. The nurse practitioner would not prescribe any benzodiazepine because she was worried about my history of substances abuse with alcohol. I ended up trying to kill myself by stabbing myself seven times and overdosing on my prescription medication. After that I went back to my previous psychiatrist and she prescribed me on Clonazapam. I'm now back to work and I'm feeling much better. I wish this was prescribed to me sooner."


"Had acne in my 20's, now the painful cystic acne in T-zone is back during menopause.  I've been using aczone for about 2 weeks, once or twice a day.  Results: I have no - NO - bad breakouts and the ones I had are almost completely healed.
The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because it's only been 2 weeks and I don't know that I won't have another breakout tomorrow.
But knock wood, "so far, so good"."


"Gilenya worked wonders for me the first 18 months, I felt great, MS stabilised, then I started slowly getting worse, fatigue, dizziness, bad headaches, still no MS progression or relapses but I felt awful! Elected to take the chance to come off the drug and try another just to feel better, within 6 days after stopping G I felt amazing, no more fatigue, no headaches and the dizziness has eased, at day 18 off so far and I continue to feel better each day. Clearly does its job but at the expense of my life it just wasn't worth the side effects."


"This stuff is great. I have had a chronic cough for over a year following an esophagectomy. This is the first medication that actually works for more then a couple of hours. I can actually make it through the night without having coughing episode. As a side benefit, it tastes pretty good."


"I've been drinking for about three years now! To try and take away the depression and anxiety. (I do realise drink is the worst thing to madicate with)

As I write this, I had just woke up on my back, vomiting.
Four day drinking session. Not a morsel of food past my lips. 25/30 cans of Guinness per day. I've lost the ability to walk properly. For several years now, when I stand up, my legs just buckle. I take diazepam too. They are of no help anymore! I was taken into hospital two months ago. Family had rang an ambulance. I had alcohol poisoning, and taken a seizure. Librium really helped with the withdrawals in hospital.
I wish any of you suffering all the very best! Alcohol dependancy is such a lonely road to walk."


"I have been using Tri Cyclen Lo for almost 2 years, and I have decided to switch to Nordette. I like Tri Cyclen Lo for not getting me pregnant but it gave me a few side effects that I didn't want to live with again. I had a huge decrease in sex drive, I gained 25 lbs in weight, I cried a lot for any situation, I had mood swings and my period lasted 5 -6 days and heavy with PAIN! I think the only good thing is that it cleared acne very well, my period came exactly on time and no pregnancies. I hope Nordette works better for me!"


"I have been on Minastrin for about 5 months and have had no real negative physical side effects. My boobs grew a half of a cup side but that was it for physical effects. I did, however, experience emotional and psychological side effects. I noticed that I rarely wanted to leave the house and had no desire to see friends. It made me extremely overdramatic and moody. I just switched to another BC because I was beginning to feel too depressed. I'm not certain that this depression is coming from Minastrin but it began around the time I started this pill."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he pulled out but came all over my vagina. I was really scared that somehow sperm would make their way to an egg. I was ovulating at the time. I took Plan B about 20 hours after it happened. I had no serious side effects except a little light headedness every once and awhile. I started to regularly check my cervix position to make sure that it wasn't low and soft (which would mean I was most likely pregnant). It never was and I got my period on the exact day it was supposed to come! So girls - don't stress yourself out too much."


"I have been taking 250 mgs of Primidone for the last 17 years for Benign Essential (What's so essential about it? ) Tremor. As far as I know, I have no side effects. When I first began the medication I started out with a smaller dose and worked up to 250 mgs. I found that I could not take the meds during the day because of sleepiness, dizziness, etc, so my doc suggested that I take it at night. I have been taking it at bedtime since, and it helps to put me to sleep."


"I have been taking this for Two days due to Bacterial Vaginitis. Upon waking up on my 2nd day I was bleeding.  This would sound normal if my period hadn't already came two weeks ago! I have cramping and EXTREME back pains. If the bleeding doesn't subside I will go to the ER tomorrow"


"I was diagnosed with depression/anxiety i'm 19, i was put on 50mg sertraline which made me constantly have a headache for the week i was on it, made me very tired and i was quite achy too. went back to doctors and she put me on fluoxetine 20mg, i have been taking this for just over 2 weeks now & even though i'm still quite tired (might just be me), i already feel a lot better. Before on fluoxetine I was always over thinking things, i didn't want to leave the house or go out, i was off work for 3 weeks as could not stop myself from crying, i was worried my relationship would end! now i'm a lot more positive, I'm going out and not crying anywhere near as much, never felt happier and my relationship has never been better! :)"


"Today I got a root canal and wisdom tooth pulled, my mouth was throbbing! I took my Tylenol 3 like 20mins ago and the pain is gone."


"I had a severe dental infection that had me in intense pain and it was one of the worst painful experiences of my life. I didn't have the money to get the tooth pulled or worked on. After 30 hours on this medication, my pain had subsided. I have now been off the medicine for 2 days and no crazy side effects. I also tried to take some probiotics between doses to ward off any bad bacteria build up. This medicine is a GOD SEND. Very strong antibiotic. Must take each dose with at least 10oz of water. Please don't let bad reviews steer you away from this medicine."


"I got an endoscopy and the anesthesia was great fell asleep and woke up great. Everything was good."


"There is a lot of other reviews that I have read that sums a lot of it up. Yes, you will most likely experience yawning, nausea, and headaches at first. It does go away! At first I also noticed a change in my sex life. I could still get in the mood but found it near impossible to orgasm.
Also, with sleep, I did feel tired for a bit, but I think it was because I experienced trouble sleeping at first.
I found some things that helped fix some of this:
I went from 20mg to 10mg a day.
I took it right after breakfast.
This one is important! Exercise! I started running again and I found that it had an extremely positive effect and it went well with the medication. A lot of the jitters I got at first went away, it helped me sleep better, and more!"


"I tried the Traumeel another user suggested.  It did nothing to help with the pain.  The only relief I have found so far is Tylenol, Extra Strength and Aquaphor once everything has been pulled to the surface.  Of course keeping the affected areas uncovered is a huge help.  I sleep on a beach towel over my sheets so the shedding and peeling are "contained".  It's the only way I don't itch throughout the night and even if I do, the roughness of the towel helps to get it off the skin.  Hope this helps. "


"Adderall has totally brought my life into focus. I started taking it about 6 months ago I'm 39 now and really wish I had this medicine as a kid. In addition to ADD I had severe anxiety and depression as a child/teenager. Adderall has given me focus, lifted my general mood, taken my anxiety away and made me a productive human being. I'm actually starting my own business! The only bad thing is that you really have to be careful of how much you take because it can have the opposite effect i.e. severe anxiety and no focus but if you take it the right way it will change your life! One other bad thing is the stigma surrounding the medicine and being treated like an addict by some pharmacists."


"Used it to combat Prostate infection.  Did nothing to help."


"I have been on Aviane for about 3 years now, and the first 2 weeks or so I was very nauseous. After the first 2 weeks that went away, and I have had absolutely no side effects, no weight gain, no change in skin really, and mood stayed the same. I love Aviane, and it's pretty cheap so I will continue to stick with it."


"In a nutshell I had my thyroid removed ten years ago. I had a lot of horrible symptoms that I can only describe myself as feeling like a 100 year severely arthritic woman. My lab results seemed to always came out within range no matter what dosage I was on. I even called the synthroid company to discuss the various doses and learned the only difference between the doses I was trying besides the amount of thyroid hormone as the food coloring. In a quick internet search I learned my symptoms might be related to the food dyes. My endo rewrote my prescription using no dye tablets. With one week I had no pain.  I take two 50mcg daily and on Monday and Thursday I add a  half tablet. Life is good!"


"I'm a 56 year old male and started having CH at age 18. Treatment is different for men than women as to what works best. I've had the best success with a neuro who fought to get my insurance to approve Oxygen. Breathing 10 milliliters per minute through a mask at the onset of the CH while lying down in the dark breathing slowly in through the nose has worked everytime and without all the side effects of prednisolone, Verapamil and the like. Essential Oils Peppermint rubbed on the temples and back of the neck which for me is the first indication of an onset has proven effective too. Guys are expected to grow out of it in our fifties. I'm still hoping that happens as nobody truly understands the severity of this type of pain."


"I took this for one week. It gave me terrible acne. I have never had acne more than an occasional pimple, but it made my face red and bumpy all over, and it has stayed ever since! I switched to a mini pill for a few months and then stopped birth control to get pregnant. It has been 8 months since then and I still have a red bumpy face."


"I have been on Effexor now for almost 6 months. I take a combined dose of 75mg and 150mg at once( 225mg) I started at 150 and was given the 75mg a few days later to help with my anxiety. The meds do make me " numb" to emotions, and it does help with my depression and anxiety. I have good and bad days. Sometimes my meds will make me sick to my stomach, I often feel dizzy and feel brain zaps, and " electrical" zaps down my arms and fingers. It often takes away my appetite, and have lost weight I often struggle with constapation too. And sometimes it makes the voices, depression and anxiety worse. Compared to other meds in the past, Effexor is better. On good days I feel better and turn from realistic view point in the world to a more positive"


"My 13 y/o had his first infusion. So far so good. No side effects."


"I was prescribed propranolol years ago as a preventative medication for migraines. There was no change in the number of headaches I experienced in a month with the medication, so I stopped taking it. My doctor recently prescribed propranolol as needed for anxiety. I have high anxiety in social situations. I took it recently before a party and felt more calm and less self conscious. I still felt inhibited when it came to talking to people. I also experienced a dramatic increase in appetite.

This medication seems helpful for anxiety, but I was not expecting to be so hungry after meals."


"These pills are amazing. Nothing has ever worked the way they do on my back. I have had 3 surgeries and I will always be in pain but with these I can at least function and thats all I can ask for."


"Only mood stabilizer that has worked for me, I take 800 mg."


"I just finished 20 days of Levaquin.  It certainly has helped and I'm hopeful the prostatitis is over. The reason I visited this site was to see if Levaquin was the reason for two episodes of swollen lips.  The first was a big swollen lower lip at church a week ago and tonight, a swollen upper lip. The only other person to comment on this medicine on this website also had this problem.  Aside from looking grotesque in a very primitive way, it doesn't seem a big problem."


"Severe insomnia due to muscle spasm. Fibromyalgia since 2001. Began Tizanidine June 2004. Also, 3 bulging discs from negligent car wreck ( driver ran stop sign) since Jan 2015.
Somnolence, Dry mouth most common. I've always noticed visual disturbances ( enhanced colors and patterns of whatever I'm viewing before falling asleep after taking tizanidine). Experienced noticing " monkeys and grapevines in ceiling while watching Tarzan like movie when began drug in 2004. I still can see the enhanced color and pattern of tile or carpet as I walk from bathroom to bedroom shortly before falling asleep. I'm an optometrist with history of excellent ocular health. May 2017 retinal photos revealed " Bear-Track" like pigment patterns:both eyes. 12mg hs."


"I've been taking trinessa for 10 days for birth control/acne/regulating my period. So far I've lost 11 lbs. The first 5 days I had awful mood swings and barely had an appetite for anything. It's odd for me to lose so much weight cause I'm not overweight and have never lost this much weight in 10 days but otherwise it's going okay! Haven't noticed a difference in my acne but time will tell!"


"I LOVE Epiduo! I clears my skin up and makes my skin so beautiful. I'm in love with my face and I'm not self conscious anymore! I have a few small zits occasionally but they aren't noticeable to anyone but myself. So in love with Epiduo."


"I have been on this pill for 4 years. The pill does serve its purpose, I haven't gotten pregnant but the side effects are outrageous. When I started the pill I was 18 and 145lbs, almost a year later I was at 160lbs now I have plateaued at 190lbs for about a year and a half at 5'8. My sex drive is gone almost and my poor boyfriend has been there through all of it. I have vaginal dryness so during the beginning of sex it is very painful. I didn't have acne before and didn't have any after. My period went from 8 to 4 days which was good and my cramps did lessen. Even though it took me this long to read reviews I'm glad I did I'm going to look into switching."


"I have endometrosis and have stomach pain, digestive problems, and abnormal bleeding. The digestive problems are just as bad as they were. My periods are better. The medicine does have side effects such as unsettled stomach and headaches."

"Best drug ever."


"Taken this medication 3 times and has worked every time. Would recommend to anyone who is trying to avoid a pregnancy if an accident occurs. Worth $50 and a peace of mind. Dont worry your period will come be patient"


"I've taken this birth control for 6-7 months now, and have been happy with my experience. At first, it definitely affected my mood and made me noticeably more irritable than before. However, I stuck with it and my mood has improved. It cleared my skin, and my acne is more controlled that it has been in years. It eliminated almost all cramps that come with my period, and my period is much shorter than before. It has also been effective in preventing pregnancy. All around, I've been happy with Reclipsen. If anything, my only complaint would be a slight rise in moodiness that has been manageable with time."


"I took this medicine and within an hour I started to feel dizzy and light headed, my breathing became heavy and I was so close to being sick. Had to down around four glasses of water to feel normal ish again. The second one it was literally ten minutes and I was sweating real bad. Was sick around six times, and now I have what seems like my stomach is swelling, bloating. Still feel sick, off my food completely, worst medication I have ever ever been prescribed"


"I've been on Xanax, Ativan and Klonopin, and Valium is the only one that lasts long enough to not make me feel the need to redose just a few hours after taking it. I can forget a dose and not be panicking all day. The slower onset / offset also makes it less addictive for many, so I HIGHLY recommend this."


"This is the worst commercial on TV.  The music sucks, the band sucks and the acting sucks.  I literally have to turn the volume off whenever this stupid commercial comes on.  It is one of the most annoying commercials I have ever experienced.  Please consider a remake and get rid of that awful music and band.  PLEASE!!!!!"


"My daughter was diagnosed at 6 years old with Precocious Puberty. Pubic Hair, breast buds, underam hair.  We did Lupron Injections until she was twelve. I am happy to say they seemd to work she is now 5'8 and somewhat healthy. She has some issues.. she has been on the line of pre-diabetic for years. She is some what overweight. she is about 208 lbs. She does has facial hair. and she has a thyroid issue and now she has recently been diagnosed lactose intolerance.. extreme lactose intolerance.. she only has 2 enzymes to break down lactose. She also has had to get on birth control to keep her period normal and her periods are very painful. I have to tell myself that what we are dealing with now is minor compared to how she may have developed with out it"


"I used this one time and my skin looked better after"


"I've been on this birth control for about 8 years so I feel I can write a fair review. I started taking birth control in high school because my cycle was so painful and heavy. I had to miss school because of cramps. As soon as  I started taking this (the generic version was called something else back then) my symptoms went away. I went from a 7 day heavy painful period to a 3-4 day light period. I've always had acne and I can't say this helped tremendously when I was in high school and college, now that I'm in my mid 20s my acne is gone. I haven't noticed anything related to hormones on this pill. Yes, when my period is about to come sometimes I'll get a little more emotional than I would during other parts of the month, but that would happen even if you weren't on the pill. The only thing I've noticed is that my libido is higher during the placebo week. I think birth control might kill libido a bit. Overall if you have terrible period pains I would recommend this pill. It really saves me every month."


"I hate this birth control!!! I had my nexplanon put in August 2013 and just had it removed July 2015. Honestly I don't see how I kept it that long. I had crazy mood swings always emotional and on the verge of crying about any and everything. But that's not even the worse part prior to getting this birth control I had started my weight lost journey to better myself and had happily lost 70lbs! Then I got this birth control and my weight loss went straight to hell basically. Almost 2 years on this I have gained all my weight back plus some. The only good thing about this is I didn't get pregnant but from all the weight gain I'm super depressed now. Hopefully now that it's out I can lose the weight again."


"So the first two days I was like Yes! It worked and it was normal cramp free BM. Next day a bit of diarrhea, but only two BMs like that. Well I decided to just take half of one. No cramps or pain, no BM. Skipped another day and then today I took a half. It's been two hours of off and on the toilet. I stopped having any thing solid. It's like I am going pee, but through my behind.  ); don't let this sway you from trying, but stop if this happens to you."


"Perforation in my right tympanic membrane (eardrum) from a lingering upper respiratory infection causing inner ear infection. Given amoxicillin and Vicodin. Vicodin did not touch the pain. Had to lay my head on a heating pad. The amoxicillin kicked in on the second day, and the pain lessened gradually. I would rather have ten babies in a row than another ear infection. I haven't noticed any side effects from the amoxicillin yet."


"I started Buspar four days ago, and my anxiety is unbearable now. I suffer from severe migraine which has gotten worse since the first dose. Since it's only been days maybe I will try one more week to see if my anxiety gets better but from the looks of it I doubt it."


"I used to use Nuvaring and only stopped because I wanted to have kids. All in all, it was very effective as a birth control. I did not have any side effects whatsoever. I loved the convenience of changing once a month, and I didnt feel it ever. Only thing, my partner indicated he could feel it during sex sometimes, but it didnt bother him. I've recently had another child and was looking to get back on some control and immediately, I thought of Nuvaring again since I had much success with it when I was using."


"This pill worked great for protecting against pregnancy but there were MANY side effects. I would feel extreme lows, more emotional and cried over the silliest things, vaginal dryness, small occasional breakouts, and a week before the placebos would begin, I would start my period making it last two weeks instead of one! Happy to be getting off this pill in two more weeks!"


"I got it inserted at age 24 (almost 2 years ago) and it hurt like hell. It is regularly suggested to women who've had children already because they have to slightly open the cervix to insert it, and I have no kids, but it is worth it. It contains no hormones, which means less damage to your body, and the efficacy is about 99.9%. Lasts up to 12 years, or you can have it removed any time before that."


"I first contracted G. Herpes and where the semen contacted my skin and  I've had eruptions of horrible painful blistering sores. It's first a tingle and I immediately know... I have Valtrex but it takes longer to work even if I take it at first tingle. For my cold sores I used to get sores on my chin, but no longer. I get them on my ear... uh huh that's right. My ear and the small of my back, right where my jeans hit. Once my ear swelled up so much and my neck too, nothing helped but this cream. It stopped my chin sores (underneath where a second neck would be if I had one) altogether. My back sores happen at severe stress, ugh, abreva doesn't help. This cream does 100% for me."


"Starting weight 169 lb 5ft5in. I got addipex last month and lost 4-5 lbs in the month. I'm on the 37.5 I noticed the first 2 weeks not much of an appetite but I didn't feel the energy that I expected from reading others results. Never got the"have to scrub the floor or hit the gym for an hour"burst. The last week of the month the appetite came back. I took a break for a week and a half and am trying again. Dry mouth several times and a headache the first few days in the beginning but no other side effects. Just had hoped for more but it's not an overnight or one month magic pill. Gives me about the energy of a strong cup of coffee but it is more a steady energy to get thru the day instead of a crash :)"


"Was diagnosed with somatic pain. Prescribed 10mg nortriptyline to start. Took one pill and it made me feel like I could jump off a building and fly. When I laid down it felt like I was floating. Went to sleep, woke up feeling like a zombie, very depressed, could barely lift my arms. It has been three days and I still feel spaced out. "


"I had terrible insomnia.....this medicine has improved my quality of life immensely"


"Works great for my urine tract infections. Even when I'm sick with a cold! I highly recommend it. "
