"My son had an infection and a virus at the same time. Had a fever of 104.02 at it's highest for over ten days. One shot of this and within one day he was almost completely his old self. It was painful to get the shot but the results were well worth it."


"I have been using the generic lidocaine patches  for years, with great results. My pharmacy, which I have to use because of my insurance, switched to generic patches from Mylan. These new patches are HORRIBLE!!! They are stiff and do NOT stick at all! I am stuck with a 6 month supply of patches that DON'T work. I've spent over an hour with various people at the pharmacy! And they all say it's not their problem. Great. Just great."


"I'm a guy and my girlfriend used this product and...woow.  She is in so much pain.  She is crying, and yelling and.... Just too much.  I have to work in the morning.  The medicine is so much worst than the actual yeast infection. What can I do.  By reading this she found comfort she wasn't the only one. Hope you ladies vagina's are doing better!!"


"I have been taking Seroquel for 7 years and was initially happy with the effects, but the medication hasn't been working as well lately and I have gained 40kgs in those 7 years. So I was put on Saphris 3 weeks ago. The benefits have been amazing, with increased energy, memory and positive thoughts. Unfortunately, I had a severe allergic reaction to Saphris a few days ago and I've had to stop taking it. I hope to find something just as good. I suppose the good news is that now I know that there are other Atypical Antipsychotics that could help me."


"Fiorinal has helped my Migraines better than anything else I have tried.  I have not

had any side effects at all."


"Miracle cream.  have suffered with excessive facial hair since I was 13, I'm now 58.  It started working almost immediately, In less than 2 months I am completely free from facial hair, and I am no longer afraid to let people hug me for fear of scratching them.  Wish it would have been available years ago, it would have saved me a lot of grief..."


"I had the operation and tried all other drugs. For the past 2 years I have been on 500 MG Tikosyn and only go in AFIB for about 2 days every 2 months. Only problem is Tikosyn increases the cost like crazy about twice a month. Sure hope there will be a generic soon"


"Prednisone, plaquenil, mobic, sulfasalisine and arava weren't keeping my pain at bay and I was so tired, stiff and sore that I was struggling at work. My Dr Jenny decided to try orencia by self injection weekly and after a month I started to feel better and my inflammation levels started to go down. I am now off the plaquenil and prednisone and working an 8  hr day 3 days a week gardening and landscaping. I hope it continues, it saved my work life."


"Developed interstitial lung disease and hypoxia."


"I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia after months of falling asleep during the day and very early at night.  It very much affects my life, making me feel overwhelmed and unable to complete what a normal person should be able to do.  I was put on Nuvigil and a few hours after taking the first pill, I began to feel jittery.  It lasted a couple of hours and as that feeling left, I got migraines.  The migraines lasted for 2 days.  I then had 2 days where I felt absolutely awesome - I slept fine at night and had ample energy to get through my day. The next 2 days, I felt tired and dragging again.  The last day, I was tired, depressed, and crying on and off all day.  I am now off the medication."


"Do not take if you have high blood pressure. It shot mine through the roof....215/135. Please monitor your BP.
Other then that, it did help the urinary incontinence when I stand up. I did not leak  very much at all.
The headaches associated with the increase blood pressure were unbearable. The dryness in my sinuses was annoying but manageable."


"It works in subtle ways. It was supposed to help with RA pain but it has actually helped my outlook on my daily life as well. I feel hope and have extra energy. This relief of pain has helped me be able to draw better boundaries around situations I was allowing to happen in my life. The side effects are mild. I also like that I am not gaining weight. Subtle changes, but works great and in ways I did not expect. It has not taken away my RA pain, but has muted it a bit."


"Really effective - had discharge come out of my red eye. Now the pain is gone some 20 hours later. "


"I have been taking it for mood and it works wonders! Mood is stable with only one side affect."


"I am 39 years old and I was addicted to pain medication for almost 20 years.  I have chronic back pain and I was prescribed everything from 80 mgs of Oxycontin, 40 mgs of Opana, 30 mgs of Oxycodone, to 150 micrograms of Fentanyl. I would go to the hospital for IV Dilaudid. I was a mess. No matter how many pills I was prescribed I never ever made them last so I would spend tons of money buying them on the street.  I finally had enough and now I am taking 16mg of Suboxone a day and I feel great!  Today I am 6 months sober."


"Horrible side effects of nausea, dizziness and zero appetite.  Dropped 18 lbs in 39 days.  Still losing."


"Very hard to get off them after treatment but great for pain and mood. Great for migraines I have had severe migraines my whole life and haven't had any since taking these. Also have kidney problems with lots of stones and surgery.Couldn't have made it through last 2 yrs without them. "


"This drug was prescribed by a Dr to me to help me with weight loss.  Following the instructions to take the medication was to say the least was a problem. I had to get one of those pill boxes to make sure I did it exactly right.  About the third week I was not feeling very well and I had not lost any weight to speak of.  However I was feeling agitated and sleepy during the day do to anxiety when I would try to sleep. My Dr. didn't help me with this medicine and never talked to about side affects. I asked for some help with my weight during a yearly check up and she gave me this prescription and said to come back in 3 months. this medicine cost is very high. I came off of the medicine the same way I started taking it lowering my dose slowly."


"I have tried all aspirin that are suppose to work on migraines. The only one that has worked (for me) has been Excedrin Migraine.
They work great, as long as the instructions are followed. I've noticed most people don't including my wife. She suffers migraines once in a while, maybe 3 a year."


"I'm posting this for my mother, who is not able to type like she once did as a result of this medication.  Methotrexate was also a difficult med., which caused confusion, depression, loss of balance, hair loss and an INCREASE in joint pain.  Arava had similar effects, but instead of 5 weeks as with Methotrexate, she was only able to tolerate 3 days of Arava! (at 1/2 dose per rheumy recommendation).  She had symptoms very much like a stroke the evening of the third day - unable to speak more than a word or two, not to mention absolute terror as well as the effects listed above.  For anyone keeping track: she waited a full 2 weeks between stopping methotrexate and trying the Arava. after 5 weeks now, she's ALMOST back to normal.  Beware!"


"I just got my 2nd Nexplanon insertion and I could not be happier. After the first 3 years, I had absolutely NO side effects and NO period. I switched to the Nexplanon after becoming pregnant with my daughter on the NuvaRing, and I am not planning on changing."


"This worked great.  It immediately cleared up all the watering.  With only having to use the medicine once a day it is so easy."


"Felt it is time for an update. It's April 26, 2014 and I've been on Votrient since August 2012. So far tumors remain stable and continue to show shrinkage. I'm still taking same dosage, 800mg per day."


"Ive had the device since mid Oct '15 (now Aug 16) I only have a period like every 3 months. Pretty satisfied with the device! Does the job as intended, and hardly ever notice it's there. No complaints."


"Stopped the cough, but jump started my bowels. Took it before bed and spent the morning on the toilet. All I had before was a cough, now I can't leave the house. Wish I could charge them for a sick day.

On the upside: I'm just one dose of Delsym from my goal weight!"


"So I originally  started on camrese for dealing with my heavy flow/painful periods (like super painful) and when I started I was bleeding for over 2 weeks!! I hated it, it wasn't a lot of blood more like light but it was frustrating as I was not comfortable with having to wear pads all the time so I went other my doctor and she prescribed Junel  fe. It was  terrible I had irritability, nausea, etc. So I asked to go back to camrese and it worked for the first  5 months no problem but then I had spotting again. So I asked for a new pill but that made my period  twice as heavy flow. I then asked my doctor if I could have the same hormones in camrese but for monthly and not yearly but she said I can  do that myself, I love it now!"


"The first thing I noticed was that my shirts were fitting better, they weren't so tightly fitting anymore. So I weighed myself and I was surprised to see that I had lost 15-17 pounds in the 2-3 months I had been on the Androgel. It took about 2-3 months to find my actual dose. I have noticed way better muscle tone, specially in my chest, shoulders & arms. I am also wearing jeans and shorts more comfortably, they don't fit so tight anymore and don't hurt around my waistline from being so tight. I'm back down to a size 32, much more solid & defined looking and feeling. Lost weight in my neck & face, lost that round looking face, now I have a square jawline and thinner, manlier face. I am able to think more clearly. More solid and longer lasting erections."


"For sufferers of chronic hives (lasting longer than 6 weeks) this is likely a medicine you will use in combination with many others.  I have found it can help with the itching and helps get you some good sleep, so it may be a worthwhile addition to your treatment regimen.  Above all get a good team of doctors."


"I have been on the ring for 3-4 yrs now, and I know everyone's body responds differently but I have had ZERO complaints about the Nuva ring! I absolutely LOVE it. It does not come out during sex, no dryness down there, high sex drive!!! Its great only downside is, it doesn't help with acne so I might just have to change but I am really considering it very hard because I honestly love this form of contraception."


"I was on Yaz for almost 3 years. It was great for the first 2 3/4 years! I felt like it helped with my moods and cramps before my period and just worked great overall. A few months ago though, I started having PMS for 2 weeks straight and month by month after it the PMS creeped up into the entire month! I would cry for absolutely no reason or from the smallest thing, be very irritable and angry over little things, depressed, nightmares, hungry all the time, extremely tired all the time- coffee did nothing, weight gain etc. Went off it about 5 days ago and feel so much better!
"


"Yes, the migraine went away. Its the side effects. Appetite immediately went down the drain, irritable, most of all itchy. Itchy all over like crawling skin. Even worse the itching focused on my manhood if ya catch the drift. Loosing my mind.... I don't recommend it."


"Almost immediate relief within 24 - 48 hours for moderate to severe sinus infections.  I have experienced a temporary hearing loss that may be a side-effect."


"Been experiencing large hives on feet and hands for several years due to chronic Lyme. When first started experiencing joint pain in mid foot joint between small toe and ankle I assumed it was more of the same but did not go away in the typical 24 hrs last week. In fact it got worse over several days while traveling for work.
When I got to my daughter's she made me see a doctor immediately and was diagnosed with gout. They prescribed 3-20 mg for 3 days with 1/2 tab reduction each 3 days until completing script.
Pain subsided within 30 min of first day but pain did reoccur approx 18 hrs later as prednisone wore off. I took 2nd dose same results decreased inflammation and better mobility. Its been 13 hours and cannot sleep, foot feels hot."


"Confusion, lethargy, diarrhea, hyperchloremia, CO2 16, nausea, dizziness"


"My experience with Lolo was fairly good overall, with the exception of one main issue. I did not experience any weight gain or irregular break outs, and maintained the same sex drive. My skin was relatively clear, my cramps almost completely disappeared (they were very severe before) and my period lasted 3-4 days. I'm changing to a different pill only because I have started getting my period twice a month. My period will sometimes come halfway through the month then again while taking the placebo pills. Other times it comes halfway through one month, then doesn't come again until the end of the next month. I've enjoyed the lack of unpleasant symptoms, but irregularity is a huge pain."


"I switched to this from Ortho Tri Cyclen six months ago to help with unwanted facial hair. It hasn't helped and it's made my hair and skin very oily. My skin hasn't looked this bad since I was sixteen. I'm using acne toner, spot treatment, oil-free moisturizer, and a foundation for acne-prone skin and none of it has made any difference. I have constant mood swings and cry easily. I'm switching back to Ortho Tri Cyclen next week."


"For the past few years, five years to be exact, I have struggled with acne pretty badly. The beginning of this year (February) I decided to try and do something about it, I went to my nearby Planned Parenthood and got prescribed to Ortho Tri Cyclen. I went to my local pharmacy to pick up my pills only to see they had given me Tri Sprintec as it was moderately cheaper and "made of the same ingredients". I have not had many problems on this pill.. no weight gain, no cramps, no nausea... but my face... it got extremely worse. My entire right side of my cheek and my chin broke out in large patches of cystic acne.... only to have it clear up significantly during my placebo pill week...
In fact I have heard many stories of the brand name/generic having extremely different affects on some people... so within the next few days I'm switching over to the brand name and hoping for the best."


"I've been on for a week. I've never felt better, I've had an on and off fast heart beat and arrhythmia for 15 years, been checked multiple times for by heart doctor, always came back negative. I haven't felt this good since I was a kid, no more fast heart beat, no more chest pain or tightness, I feel relaxed and normal, a little thirsty but that's it."


"i started taking lo 5 days ago I have experiences mood swings not severe but just basically feeling weird. My body is just not right. I bled lightly first 2 days of my period and now I am bleeding heavy for 3 days with bad cramping and back aches. I feel like I am craving junk food and I definitely gained a couple pounds within these few days as crazy as it sounds. Hopefully my body will adjust bc I plan on staying on these"


"This does have side effects that do go away. I have lost weight 40 lbs. It took my a1c from 8 to 5.5 in 3 months."


"I had extreme issues with anxiety and depression. I'm really happy I chose to start taking zoloft because it helped almost immediately"


"Have a sinus infection which causes a pretty bad cough... got tired of it and reached for Delsym (I bought it a month earlier for my son's bad cough and it worked for him)... took it at 3pm today and by 5pm I had the runs!!! Cough was gone, but it made me go! I don't have IBS or any digestive issues so it seems to be affiliated with this medicine... up to you if it's worth it... for me it was that's how bad my cough was."

"I was on Junel FE 1/20 and randomly got switched to this without any notice. Since it was a bit cheaper I decided to try it without complaints, but I have had a terrible time with this pill. I'm an emotional roller coaster and find myself mopey a lot of the time. I can't sleep, I have night time nausea, I'm on edge and get pissed very easily, and I can't stop eating junk food. My sex drive has dropped also and my acne has flared up and now I'm breaking out all over. I've also had headaches which is unusual for me, I never get headaches unless I slept wrong or am very very stressed. I'm going to get put back on Junel before it gets worse."


"Had RLS all my life could not explain the symptoms to my Doctor for years but finally when talking to my mother she explained she had it and told me what it was and my Doctor who is also a Pharmacist, prescribed clonazepam  and it has worked fine for the past 15 years although I have noticed lately that I am having to take more than the stated 1-2 pills and take 2-3 before bed. I am only affected at night"


"I have dealt with constipation for years. I have no other health issues and am at a normal weight. Even when eating very healthy, lots of veggies, fruit and fiber, no processed food and drinking lots of water,  there are problems. I hate laxatives and stool softeners. I heard being low in magnesium can cause chronic constipation, so I thought I’d try milk of magnesia. It has changed my life. It does not give me diarrhea, it allows me to eliminate normally like I did when I was younger. I take 30 ml every night and have two normal bowel movements the next morning between wake up and about noon. I can go to the bathroom completely too, without feeling like there’s always more there that won’t come out. I highly recommend it for a gentle solution"


"Terrible throat for over a week - really ill, and believe me I've had plenty sore throats but none like this.  Doc said thinks bacterial infection. Took tablet, within 24 hours started to make amazing rapid recovery! No side effects apart from vivid dreams every night but this might be a coincidence."


"This drug was wonderful for my pain and psorisis but caused horrible depression so I wanted to tell people to watch for mood changes. I thought it was only me but my rheumatologist told me this medication now has a black box warning for severe depression. Please be aware and watch for changes in personality. Sadly I had to discontinue use."


"Lexapro saved my life and saved my mind.  I have pure OCD and anxiety.  I tried other anxiety medications before and was ready to give up.  My primary doctor recommended I try Lexapro. I started off at 10mg and started to feel better after a month or two but was still having compulsions from my OCD (although much fewer) so I asked my Doctor to up my medication.  She put me on 20mg and I have been on 20mg for more than six months now.  My life has changed.  I have never felt so alive and so real.  I have never felt so sane.  I can function for the first time in ten years at the degree someone "normal" functions act."


"I was worried about how my body would react to the Nexplanon after reading all these reviews, but I love it! No period, don't have to worry when I have sex, and I don't forget to take a pill. Only complaint is that I get a little nausea when I wake up but it goes away. Plus it was free with my health coverage AND my libido is back.  My husband is happy about that one too."


"This medication is a joke. Doesn’t work at all."


"I always had acne through adolescence, & in my early 20s started developing painful cystic acne on my jawline and neck, particularly worsening prior to menstruation. All OTC treatments were completely useless to treat & manage this form of acne, & I was seriously considering Accutane. My dermatologist prescribed Aczone, & once I started regularly using once a day, after about a month (ie, not right away- it takes time to assess whether it's effective for you) I noticed a huge difference in my skin- less oily, essentially no acne. While the initial "wow" effect has tapered off- I'm starting to get an occasional pimple prior to my period- my skin is still substantially improved. Worth a shot before going to Accutane."


"Januvia side effects include crippling, debilitating pain, and swelling. Dad's been taking it since March 2015,  and by August could barely walk.  He had joint swelling, and excruciating pain.  Doctor after doctor visit.  No clue! Called me,  his daughter,  RN BSN, and we returned to the doctor wanting to know why he didn't know more about this drugs side effects. NONE OF THEM DO! A friend veteran, same thing.  Could hardly Stanfield the pain,  talking about swollen and angioedema. They even ran heart tests! It was the Januvia,  and my dad, and the vet, taken off Januvia have completely recovered. The veteran had even been referred to a rheumatologist. My dad is now taking chromium type supplements, and watching his carbs. Doing very well."


"When I first took Concerta, I was more able to concentrate on hard tasks, such as writing and doing math calculations. When I stopped taking this medication, I was unable to pay attention in class, and kept misplacing flash drives and pencils. Plus, I've got a bunch of D's and F's on essay assignments because I've been leaving ADD untreated for six months.

Concerta helped me concentrate, but it didn't make me too jittery or not focused enough, and it feels just right. When I came back to the medication, after six months of not taking it, I've had the best school days I've ever had in my life. This medication works, no nonsense, just don't drink too much coffee or energy drinks if you don't want a fast or irregular heartbeat."


"I'm 40 with no children and started Nora-Be after 6+ years of no BC. I'm not allowed estrogen BC due to previous blood clots. Started this pill a week ago and am a little surprised by what I believe are side effects. Appetite loss and my mood is VERY elevated...I feel borderline hyper at times. I notice that things which used to upset me or get on my nerves don't nearly as much now. Overall a good thing but sometimes you need that balance to be able to understand and calibrate your overall well being. But my main concern is I've noticed I'm mentally scattered. It's like herding cats in my brain sometimes. I am hoping this subsides. No physical side effects yet- spotting or bloating-which I was expecting. We'll see."


"I only use Dulera once a day and only one puff, but I do this every single day usually just before I go to bed. On occasion I will need a second puff during the day after I wake up. I occasionally get the pain in the side and lower back but it does not last long. I have many of the side effects but I had them long before I started using Dulera. The pain is a new one though."


"I have never been on any pill, my acne was getting really severe so my doctor suggested Tri-Cyclen Lo.  The first two months on Tri-Cyclen Lo made me get cystic breakouts and I was miserable.  I finally switched my birth control to Gianvi, this has been the best alternative to cleaning my skin.  I haven't had any negative side effects and my skin is finally clear! The only downside is the increase in appetite, I haven't gained any weight I live a healthy life style-eat clean and workout regularly.  But I'm constantly hungry! Besides that my skin looks its best that it has in years! Now I only need to get rid of my blemishes.  I would highly recommend Gianvi, your period is light, you don't experience nausea or mood swings."


"I got on birth control for my horrible cramps and to prevent getting pregnant. I have had mostly ups but some downs using this birth control. you must make sure to take it everyday around the same time because it does effect you when you are supposed to get your period. Also, I have major mood swings now, depression, and gained weight with taking this. It does help majorly with my cramps and how much I was bleeding"


"I've had my Skyla for a week now, got it because I started experiencing migraines with aura. The insertion really does suck, no sugar coating it. I consider myself to have a pretty good pain tolerance and the pain isn't anything that would stop me from getting another one. Feels like an extremely deep, painful period cramp that kinda takes your breath away for a second. It's over very quickly though so don't let yourself get too hung up on that. I had to call in sick from severe period like cramping. Next day I woke up and felt totally fine. I've only had very light spotting after exercise otherwise nothing. Occasional period like cramping, nothing that Advil can't help. So far i'm really happy with my decision!"


"I have been taking Latuda for about 6 months for bipolar disorder. I was taking just Seroquel but had breakthrough anxiety and depression, so my psychiatrist added Latuda. It definitely has helped with my depression and anxiety. My big issue is I can only tolerate 10mg/day. Anything more than that and I have severe insomnia. Also, having to take it with 350 calories is a pain. I take it at lunch time. 10mg dose does not make me sleepy. I would warn anybody taking this medication to be careful when stopping it. I abruptly stopped it a few weeks ago and sunk into the worst, deepest, most God awful depression of my life. After a week, I started back on the Latuda and 6 days back on it, I'm feeling better."


"I love this product!!! I put it in around 12pm today and now it's 11pm the same day and I feel so so sooo much better!! The itch was bearable. The burning was only there when I sat down. I am having a lot of discharge but it's totally unnoticeable! I would use this product again for sure. I recommend this 100%"


"4 days and no change"


"I hit 28 on the PSA test, was prescribed Hytrin and gradually went from 1 to 5 pills a night. After a couple weeks or so the side effects were so bad I had to stop taking it. Intense headaches, nausea. It was unpleasant. Awaiting my doctor to find something else, on the "plus" side, after a month my PSA went from 28.3 to 8.8 and I have no trouble peeing. "


"It does help with my pain from having trouble with TMJ, but I have been nauseous a lot lately. Usually when my jaw acts up I get major migraines and sensitive to light and even end up throwing up and having to put pressure until it goes away - but now I can take this and it goes away fast"


"I have had the Kyleena IUD for about ten hours now. I was very nervous going into the procedure but happily surprised to find out that it did not hurt as much as I thought it would. I am 18, weight 130. I'd say during insertion the pain was about a 5/10 and it was over before I knew it. I had minimal cramping afterwards, no bleeding, and only some lightheadedness but only when I exerted myself. I haven't felt cramping in a couple of hours . I'm loving it. It is so worth it."


"At this writing - Ive had Euflexxa shots 3 times over the last 2 years . The 1st time the shots lasted about 6 months - the 2nd about 3  .Was going to have a Total Knee reconstruction - but thought to try the shots one last time .  Day after the 2nd round my right knee was so stiff that I could barely walk - and that had been the lesser of the 2 ! The 3rd round of shots were put off an extra week to let the knee settle     . After 2 weeks of the 3 shots both knees are just now starting to feel better and fairly pre arthritis normal . How long this round of Euflexxa lasts Ive no idea - different results , different people ,different times .The 1st 2 times Im glad to have had the shots -  3rd I almost wish Id not done and just had the inevitable surgery"


"I have been taking Linzess 290 mg for over 3 months now.  In the beginning I had a few experiences of diarrhea but not so much now.  What I cannot take is the stomach pain, gas and bloating which has gotten worse over time.  I stopped taking the drug for a few days to determine if these symptoms were from the drug and they were.  The stomach paid came right back today when I took a dose.   While it does help with the constipation it is not worth the other side effects.  Back to magnesium capsules I go."


"I use it as a birth control, but it has helped a lot with my acne. No more oily face.

Also how effective is this in regards to birth control?
So far.. no problems, no weight gain. It was difficult getting this approved by my insurance BCBS."


"I have had some side effects. Really heavy periods and about two days after I take it out, I have extreme hot flashes that make me extremely warm. I was out on a very cold day when this last happened, my head was just about soaked with sweat."


"heray for pepto !!!"


"I was taking anything that would get me high and then it was just to keep me from getting sick. I started the program 2 years ago and it has changed my life. Although there is more to it than the methadone. It in combination with counseling can change lives. I would also like to say that if you are suffering from low sex drive, tired, unreasonable weight gain and hot flashes you might need to get your testosterone levels checked because methadone can cause your levels to get low and maybe cause the underlined problems. Overall it has improved my life and I wouldn't change a thing."


"I have lost 80 percent of my hair. I also have had bladder problems."


"Ladies, let me tell you my experience. So on May 25th I had unprotected sex while I was fertile according to my period tracker (I know dumb right) but he did pull out, but still I was sacred, so I rushed after to get the Plan B Pill at Walgreens and it ran me about $50 which is expensive but it worked. So I took the pill and I felt fine for a few hours then the fatigue started to kick in. I was so sacred like you guys are reading the Internet, crying just and emotional break down. I am only 20 years old and I do not want kids now. I had a lot of side effects which were fatigue, EXTREMELY bloating, nausea & loss of appetite. But finally my period came 4 days early and I couldn't be so happy. Just relax your period will come."


"Long story short, it works! I'm a mom of 2 with my surgery to get my tubes tied scheduled in just 2 weeks from now! I am on the mini pill until then. I forgot my pill on 9/3. Around 3 am that night, hubby and I did the deed without even thinking about the missing pill. The next morning it dawned on me and I was freaking out as I ran to the shops. This was my first time ever taking it. Easy to purchase, easy to take. I was hesitant to spend the $50 but it's better than the money for a new baby!!! No scary side effects besides a little dizziness about 30 mins after taking it. Well, I started my period yesterday!! A week early but I'm not complaining! It is a little heavier and cramps are a little worse than normal but, I'm not pregnant!!"


"I took Embrel for several years before switching to Humira.  I liked the thought of synthetic mouse protein over live mouse protein...plus I was having terrible injection site reactions to Enbrel.  Humira almost killed me.  I developed a severe jaw bone infection.  Was hospitalized for days with IV antibiotics...almost died.  I developed severe Central Nervous Symptoms...was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis...was Multiple Sclerosis, but the Humira reaction mimicked that.  I lost almost a 100 pounds in 6 weeks (the only perk) and had the MS symptoms for 6 months.  Six years later, I still have the CNS symptoms, if I get a fever.  This drug left lesions in my brain and my spine and that's why I get recurring CNS symptoms."


"My sister and I have a long history of motion sickness: a rocking chair or porch swing is enough to set it off for us!  This summer we took a trip to Jordan, Israel, Greece and Italy where we traveled on planes, buses, trains and ferries and rode in taxis, rented cars and jeeps--and camels and donkeys in the desert!--without any trouble at all, as long as we took our Bonine every morning.  We can't say enough about this product's efficacy!"


"I am only putting this out here so it can help others that have been or are in my same situation. I was seen 4 days ago for which I thought was a UTI. It was extremely painful and they prescribed be Bactrim, a 3 day supply. After taking 3 pills I was getting worse. My doctor finally called me back and wanted me in right away. I had literally no control over my bladder. I was in excruciating pain, and couldn't help but cry. The doctor told me I had tested positive for an STD as well as a UTI and I was on the wrong medication. I was given the Rocephin shot and prescribed another antiobiotic. It is now day 2 since the shot and I feel much better. I'm still in some pain but I'm hoping it goes away soon!"


"I have been taking this since March 23, 2011 and I started my period back on April 6, 2011 after one year without one because of my PCOS. I have been on my period for 9 days now and I am not sure how much longer I am going to be on it. "


"My 17 year old daughter started taking Depakote 750 mg 1 1/2 months ago. She has gained 28 pounds. When the dose was upped to 1500mg she had daily migraines. We have seen several improvements in her symptoms but not enough to keep her on a medication that makes her gain weight and decreases her self esteem."


"I started taking these pills in September to increase my appetite.... I was 106lbs in Sept 2014, and now in January I'm 130lbs. I can't believe I gained 24 lbs. My ideal weight is 140 lbs. I take 3 pills a day and I eat 2300 calories a day or more. Although they make me sleepy I fight it off and do what needed to be done through the day.  After I get to my weight goal I plan to go down to one pill a day instead of 3. SATISFIED"


"Been taking Atenolol many years.  I have an extremely difficult time keeping my weight down, bad metabolism.  I needed to increase the amount to 50 mg to get a good blood pressure of 120/70.  So now will probably gain weight.  Will change the extra 25 mg Atenolol to something else soon.   Wish I knew exactly what would work for the extra.  I am writing this after reading all the helpful comments here."


"I suffer from depression and anxiety. I was on a number of meds before my doctor put me on Lexapro.. they were all horrible and made my anxiety worse. I was starting to lose hope that I would never find a medication to help. Thankfully Lexapro is helping! It's a lifesaver!! I could tell a difference after the first day..I'm much more "normal" I don't fly into a rage so easily, I don't feel overwhelmed constantly and I'm not irritated all the time for no reason. My moods are much more stable. Before Lexapro I seriously felt like I was losing it. My husband even told me he notices a huge difference in me since being on this. I'm also prescribed klonopin for my anxiety but since being on Lexapro I haven't had a need to take it. I love Lexapro!"


"Miracle. Period. I had ZERO side effects and I feel so much better I can't even describe the feeling of relief. This medicine literally saved my life and I would take it again. I wish I could take it every day because it made my skin look AMAZING. I haven't had a SINGLE pimple or cyst since I finished this.

I used to have cysts so huge they would turn my skin purple. I have horrendous scars all over my face from the damage. But now? It's getting better and I feel like a new person. Thank you!"


"The nexplanon is a great device in the sense that once its inserted you dont have to worry about drinking anything each day or making appointments for shots. Its good for 3 years and its not noticeable. I had my nexplanon for a year before I took it out. The first 3 months I bleed every single day. After the 3 months I didn't get my cycle for another 3 months and then suddenly got my cycle after those months and I never stopped bleeding after that. I was put on a bc pill to see if I could stop the bleeding and it just made it worst and heavier. It was horrifying . I do not recommend"


"I've been on this for about 3 months and thus far have lost about 20 lbs. Slow and steady, just the way it ought to be. Side effects are minimal. A little nausea but not intolerable. I have another 40 or so pounds to lose. It's great to finally have something that really works.
Downside? Does anyone's insurance actually cover this stuff? Cash pay it's $1000 a month. I have put that out for the last 3 months, between having crummy insurance for the first 2 months and then the deductible on my new insurance. NOW I am finding out that it is "an excluded drug." Great! I guess they'd rather treat me for diabetes, hypertension and the coronary I'll probably have from being fat. Does anyone else's insurance jerk them around about paying for this?"


"I have been taking this for 2 days. It is great, I have been losing my appetite but have been eating when I get home. Other then that it is great."


"I had bi-lateral ankle surgery in March and was put on Demerol, which at the time helped. Was given Vicodin for break through pain. Found out I was allergic to the anchor that was put in so had a second surgery in July. This time again given Demerol and Vicodin but did NOT help. Ended up in hospital with shots of Dilaudid. Doctor then gave me Percocets for breakthrough pain and it worked wonders! I could sit in my recliner and not just cry in pain. Now I'm back in a cast having more ankle issues (same ankle) and the doctor put me on icodins at first but at last visit since pain was still high and blood pressure was up (I usually run very low) he prescribed me Percocet 5/325. They are life savers! The pain went from 10 to 4 tops!"


"It took a couple weeks to notice any positive affects. It does help with depression.  The big negative is the loss of the ability to achieve an orgasm."


"I've been getting Remicade infusions for about 15 years. It is the ONLY drug that helped me. I'd been in remission for the past 5 years. Last infusion, my insurance wouldn't pay the hospital. After back and forth communications from doctor, hospital and insurance companies..Medicare...Blue Cross/Blue shield,..Tricare....doctor decreased my max dosage to 1/2 dose. Now I'm having a flare. It's a wonderful drug but the cost is exorbitant...especially for old people like me. Sure was good while the Remicade ride was working. Good luck all"


"I take 1 mg at nite to sleep. It works for about 6 hrs. However, I am having hair loss so I'm upset about that. I also take 20 mg Celexa."


"I been on the Nexplanon now 6 yrs first time In 2008 then again in 2011 now on my 3rd one going on 9 yrs, the best birth control ever. No irregular bleeding, my menstrual cycle is like clock work. I know when it is coming never more then 2 days off. It's just one of the best I have had not like the shot. I'm satisfied with it."


"My doctor started me on two doses daily (am and pm) in August, 2011.  The second day on it, I was on a camping trip and developed an itchy rash on my lower arms and hands, and my lower legs. I didn't connect it to the Ranexa so I went to my regular doctor and my dermatologist.  The dermatologist told me to stop taking the Ranexa and wait for my my cardiologist to come back in town. As it turned out I was having a "sun sensitivity" to the medicine. He cut my dosage to once at night and I have not had any more problems with a rash.  However, a month or so after I started taking the medicine, I started having "shaking episodes".  I did tell my cardiologist the last time I saw him.  It is mainly my hands shaking."


"II am 44, I got the Mirena and developed horrible hormonal acne along my cheeks and jawline. I picked at it.  This caused a lot of red and brown spots.  After 5 months of trying all different sorts of OTC acne medication and skin care routines, I finally met with a dermatologist who gave me some Aczone samples.  THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING. Seriously. Within 1-2 days all the bumps had diminished, and have remained gone except a few here and there.  I use 2x's/day- apply the gel on a clean face, add oil-free moisturizer, followed by an oil- free foundation (for day wear).  This medication doesn't bleach clothes, and doesn't cause redness or excessive dryness. SO HAPPY."


"Soma compound with codeine works great for my back pain. "


"I had a Botox treatment to my bladder for OAB on December 21, 2016. My urologist did not counsel me on the side effects or send me home after the treatment with an antibiotic as directed in the Botox pamphlet. Since that time, I have had two UTI's and still cannot empty my bladder. It is March 7 and I still have to self-cath every four hours. Like someone else wrote, I'm afraid my bladder will never be the same again and right now it feels like I'll be self-cathing for months. I wish I had never heard of Botox for my bladder!"


"I have panic disorder. I take 50mg of Anafranil, after trying several medications Anafranil is only effective medicine for me. I'm very happy."


"It has help me to grow hair back on my head and assist in breast growth"


"Saved my life plain and simple.  Taking the drug for 18 years now fluctuating between 100 and 400mg over the years.  The thoughts consumed my every waking moment, smothering me, making it impossible to live.  In the times I've gone off the drug over the years my symptoms resurfaced, only to be reigned in by Luvox.  Yes there are side effects, but they are nothing that can't be tolerated when the alternative is death."


"Works great for my PMDD, but I experience excessive sweating and the yawns.  Worth it, though. Slightly better than the SSRIs (Zoloft, Proxac) I've taken for the anxiety/irritability piece."


"I have been on Letrozole for 9 months. I have dry mouth, extremely dry skin, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, weight gain and hair loss. My joints are increasingly stiff and painful. I wake in the night from pain and can scarcely walk first thing in the morning.   My Breast cancer was stage one an I had both breasts removed.  I am considering stopping taking it."


"FreshKote is the only dry eye medication that actually helped in any capacity.  I get terrible eye pain and this is the only medication that didn't cause more pain."


"I have taken this drug over a long period of time to help control my panic attacks caused by my agoraphobia. It worked when I started it and it still works, although I should caution that increasing the dosage without your doctor's approval can cause increased tolerance and the need for more.
Also, it can be taken to help one sleep as others have noted. I stay on the recommended dosage each day and now lead a very normal life."


"So I've had my period has always been hell cramps like crazy, insane mood swings, and horrible acne. I've tried almost every birth control pill on the market and all of them have either not been effective in stopping my period or have made my acne worse. Last year after a scare I decided it was time for a more permanent solution. 3 months in and I was really loving it. It really made my periods better and bearable. Then it started to go hairy. I started loosing hair, my hair became greasy, my skin began flaking and breaking out. This was all pretty upsetting but if my period would stay gone than it was worth it. Basically my period came back and was coming every day! I also put on 30 pounds with no lifestyle changes."


"It worked very well on my condition.  No awful side effects, since I expected the burning sensation after reading the information abut it.  I only had problems keeping the ovule in, since it appears to get stuck in the applicator."


"I got my Skyla inserted this morning. I had to run in quickly due to my schedule, so I did not get a change to take any ibuprofen or even eat. The insertion felt like a very sharp cramp and lasted less than 30 seconds. But my body was shocked by it and I started feeling faint. Its alot to go from a 0 to a 10 so quickly! After the initial shock wore off it just felt like bad cramps. They went away when I took ibuprofen. The rest of the day I have just felt a deep soreness similar to sex that is too rough. Overall i'd say its not fun but not terrible! I am just praying for no side effects now!"


"I am on Exforge for the past 6 months. I am happy with the results especially after taking Lodoz and didn't see any positive results. However, like many have mentioned in this post, I am also having a dry cough and phlegm which was not there before, plus weight gain at a slow pace. I am a bit concerned about this."


"This pill has been awesome in regulating my moods and periods. My periods are only 4 days long and I have stopped having to take my prescribed pain medication when bleeding! Period is about 10 X lighter than it used to be. I've been having really vivid and cool dreams since I started taking this pill, so that's pretty nice as well. Bonus: my boobs have grown so much and are so much perkier and round now!!"


"I have suffered with anxiety since my early 20's. I'm now 27. After the loss of my father it threw me into a depression that I couldn't seem to get out of. I started Celexa 20 mg about 2 weeks ago, the first two days I could tell I was on medicine, I was a little slow, however the 3rd day I felt like a brand new person. I have no depression, anxiety, mood swings. I feel as if everything that I thought consumed my life was over. I had a new approach to dealing with everyday life. I think Celexa saved me. I did lose my appetite but I wanted to lose a few pounds anyways. So another good thing about it and I have occasional dry mouth HOWEVER I feel great. So I'll take it. I recommend this medicine to anyone."


"I was in car accident, brain damage, 10 years ago and been almost since on Xanax I love them they help me daily and nightly."


"I have been taking for four months now and have lost 50   pounds.  My doctor also prescribed 37.5 mg of Phentremine taken in the morning. I am veteran dieter, and what I find out different about this drug is the lack of cravings. Usually I start craving after a couple weeks, Ice Cream, French bread carbs. It does curb the hunger but if you have patterned yourself with eating every meal, or emotional eating it might not be for you.  If you are serious about loosing weight  and need a little help it could be for you. I eat one good meal a day (Dinner) And I mean a real meal, Steak, Chicken just not alot of carbs."


"I was on the pill for years until I had a pregnancy scare and my doctor recommended I get an IUD instead. The part that hurt the worst was when she had to clamp the cervix to hold it in place while she inserted the IUD. The rest just felt like really bad menstrual cramps. I bled quite a bit and felt a little dizzy afterward. Stayed home from work that day, was quite crampy. Bleeding and mild off and on cramps lasted for about a week. It's been great since then though. I noticed some weight loss. No more mood swings anymore due to the lower dose of hormones. My periods are regular almost like clockwork. Some cramping but nothing terrible. And it's good for 5 years... highly recommend this."


"I started takeing Meridia in November of 2008. When I started I was 220 lbs. I now weigh 179lbs. I have arthritis in both knees and it's hard to exercise but with the extra weight off I find I can go for walks now. I have had one good side effect with Meridia that is not on the list. I used to suffer from migraines. I was having at least 4 a month. Since I started taking Meridia my migraines have gone down to 1 every other month. Told my doctor and she was shocked, and happy for me."


"Holy crap. I feel like I just had an abortion. I don't normally write reviews on things but you need to know this is painful ! I'm 24, sexually active, and apparently a really sensitive uterus considering everyone on here says it was like a "pinch". I've never had a pinch make curl up into so much pain before. After crying for an hour or two, curling into a ball with a heating pad for a half hour, and calling out of work...the pain subsided a little. Turned into just really bad period cramps. I had bleeding. Really couldn't tell what is my period and what is the skyla since you get it inserted during your period.
I got it inserted two days ago, still having cramps. I'm kinda nervous to have sex for the first time. I'm just nervous."


"My adult acne took a turn for the worse so I went to see a dermatologist.  She put me on Doryx; took it for a month and my skin had zero improvement and actually looks worse.  Maybe I should have stayed on it longer but it seems like you have to stay on it to maintain results. "


"I have really really bad insomnia. I'm up for 3 -4 days straight and after my doc prescribed me a combination of zopiclone and amitriptyline I'm able to sleep 4-5 hours but your body can become tolerant after awhile meaning you may have to increase your dosage. I've had to do this but what I've started to do is try to keep really busy throughout the day and if needed at night I'll take a smaller dose than prescribed to me or try to go a few days without it then take my regular dose."


"When I was in my last year of college I started seeing a psychologist for depression. After 6 months she screened me for ADHD and started me on adderall. It was ok for a while but she upped my dosage to 40mg per day. That was too much for me so I quit taking it. I noticed the difference when I wasn't on it. I felt way less focused, tired, and my moods were worse.  When I got a job with insurance after a year, I started taking it again. It has helped me tremendously! I only take 10mg per day now."


"I started taking Lexapro about 2 1/2 years ago.  I had gone to my doctor because I was having perimenopausal symptoms, the worst of which was not sleeping.  I would have several days in a row where I couldn't sleep.  I was also having trouble controlling my anger.  The out of control rage was so unlike me.

Lexapro has been wonderful for me.  I take 10 mg once a day.  I take it in the morning.  I am not tired during the day, but now I sleep great at night.  I also have much better anger-control.  No more rages."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I am getting a colonoscopy tomorrow to verify I have crohns. The moviprep reviews scared me to the point where I almost canceled my test. But for my health I sucked it up and completed it. It was great! I mixed it with lemon Gatorade and orange Gatorade and it actually tasted pretty good and was easy to take. I'm terrified of vomiting and I gag easily but this Prep didn't bother me at all!!!"


"Note - I take Lamictal for treatment resistant depression, but that wasn't offered as one of the condition choices.

Lamictal has been a godsend. My p-doc prescribed it to augment the Effexor (300 mg/day) that I take. As others have noted, you have to titrate up gradually on Lamictal so it can take about six weeks (in my case) to start seeing improvement. At 75mg/day I definitely began to notice a change for the better and at 100mg/day (which I've been taking now for 2.5 weeks) the positive impact has been dramatic.

I don't wake up every morning plagued by anxiety and negative, self-loathing rumination. I am actually happy which hasn't been the case for many years."


"I take Lortab because I have osteoarthitis of the spine and I would not be able to conduct my life on a daily basis if not for this medication. Some doctors don't like giving this medicine out to patients because it is habit forming. But, like I told my doctor, pain 24/7 or a slight addiction. I will take the addiction. I can get over an addiction but this pain is here to stay and is not going to get any better."


"This medicine worked well for first 5 months, but has since stopped working. I have also put on 20 lbs in the past 4 months and I am very tired . I am about to go off of the medication, but I am very nervous about side effects."


"First pill gave me a headache. After that no side effects. Don't let the reviews scare you. Usually people only leave reviews when its something bad. Good strong medicine that does its job."


"I was prescribed Nucynta 50mg for chronic joint pain.  It have me no relief at all.  Also, the price was ridiculous - $50 out of pocket!!  Luckily my pharmacy gave me a $25.00 coupon but I still had to pay $25.00 out of pocket!!!"


"I have been on Belviq for 8 days now. The first 3-4 days I had headaches and a slight pounding in my ears. I do feel like I'm a little more forgetful than usual but nothing extreme. I just make myself a list so nothing slips by. My joints are a little sore but again nothing extreme. My starting weight was 176.8 and 8 days later I'm 171.2. I haven't changed my eating habits as far as what I eat but I'm eating a portion of what I would normally eat. My "obsession" for food has pretty much gone away. I can get through an entire day without having cravings. So far the results compared to the slight side effects are so worth it for me! My Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance covers 65% of the monthly cost so my monthly portion is $71.00."


"Doesn't smell, goes on nice and I can't tell it is on my face, my face feels good after I use it."


"I'm 25 yrs old, I got my Implanon inserted 02/08/2008, it been 19 months. When I first got it, there was a lot of bleeding, I didn't like it. My periods were like clock work before insertion, But when I got the Implanon it was out of whack. But I guess my body had to get used to this new foreign body inside of me. It's different for everyone. I'm not having the problem with weight gain, or hair loss, but I do get headaches and my breast are sore sometimes. I like it because I'm not worried about contraception. But like I say it different for everyone, my periods are normal now. I'm dealing with the side effects, better than another kid."


"Clonazepam has been a wonderful medication for generalized anxiety, OCD, and PTSD in my case.  It helps "round me out" and keeps me feeling stable emotionally.  The best part about this medication is that it lasts way longer than other benzodiazepines without the "I need a Xanax now!" feeling when it wears off.  It helps prevent anxiety in the first place so as not to need an immediate relief medication.  It doesn't make me feel sluggish or depressed.  Best anxiety drug I've taken yet!"


"I had a choking/allergic reaction where my throat swelled as well as my vocal chords, it was scary but I'm glad it happened because I was living with a lot of pain that the Prednisone helped from a bike accident as well as other issues. I just took it for 5 days & I did take a 5 mg about 3 weeks later as a maintenance dose. As far as the anxiety goes my body adjusted to that after a couple days then it dissipated once I stopped taking it. I did gain 6 lbs & hit kept me awake first couple nights. The positive out weighs the side effects for me especially  with a short term dosage"


"I've been on Junel for 9 months now. For the first month, I had the normal side effects of moodiness, weight gain, nausea, etc. I have not had those issues since. Overall, I've been happy with Junel. I've gotten a couple of yeast infections, but they cleared up with medication. I also struggled with breakthrough bleeding for the first several months, but that's common with any pill. What I'm concerned about currently is my acne. The pill has been helping my acne so far, but over the past couple of weeks I've been having issues (acne along the jawline, although not as bad as when I'm off the pill). I intend to monitor it for a month, but if it doesn't clear up I plan to switch."


"I was on 50mg 2x a day for only 2 weeks on it. My skin broke our even worse than it was before I started and it. Within days of being on it I was so thirsty all the time causing me to go to the bathroom constantly. It tore me up causing intestinal problems,but the worse side effect was it turned me into a raging maniac! Far worse than when I used to have PMS. It was scary & horrible to feel like that.I had little tolerance & patience and would get upset over things I used to laugh at. Before I could call my Dermatologist I had a appointment with my family Dr who took me off it immediately and sent me for blood tests.I can't wait for it to get out of my system."


"I had this put in while breastfeeding when my baby was eight weeks old. No side effects and my periods have not ever come back four years on - which is amazing as I had years of terrible pain with endometriosis. For me it has been the best thing ever!"


"I've been on this pill for 4.5 years. Started right before freshman year and I gained 20 lbs within a couple months which left HORRIBLE stretch marks. I lost that after a year and got back to original weight. Good for birth control but i have to switch due to spotting after period and periods becoming heavier... it's just not strong enough for me anymore. Would recommend but unfortunately I just need something else. It also really helped my acne. Switching to the shot now."


"I've been on Paxil for about the past four years.  It helps stabilize my depression, which I've had for many years.  It doesn't make me happy, but at least I can function and feel like a normal person.  It is one of two medications that have helped me at all (the other being Celexa, but that one made me gain extreme weight).  The only negative thing is that I gained some weight months after taking it.  Despite a few extra pounds, I'll keep taking it."


"I got my Paragard about two months ago now. I love it! The only negatives I've encountered because of it is very intense cramps during the first four days of my period and occasional spotting while I'm not on my period, both of which I've never had to deal with before getting it inserted. As for the cramps- they're terrible (and I would describe myself as having a high pain tolerance), and can leave me short of breath if I don't keep up to date with Midol and Pamprin for the first 4-5 days of my cycle. If I do, it's completely manageable!"


"After using for one month noticed cloudy vision, runny nose, sore throat, joint pain and general fatigue. Finally realized all these side effects were from the drops and stopped using them. All above mentioned side effects began to abate after 48 hours. This stuff is poison. People don’t usually think that eye drops affects anything other than eyes. They are wrong. Very wrong."


"My doctor prescribed lyrica, Which was outside of the VA formulary. Also $$$$… He put me on gabapentin and it is great"


"Diagnosed with HIV in early July 2016 and started taking Genvoya 2 weeks later.  Had a blood test after 2 weeks on Genvoya to check liver function, which was fine.  6 weeks after starting Genvoya and my VL was undetectable (<20, VL was 31,500 just six weeks earlier) and CD4 count went up from 326 to 343.  I take the one pill per day with dinner. Now 3.5 months later, the only side effect I have encountered is a very slight rash that isn't so visible, but does cause a bit of itching.  A bit like a flea bite or something.  Mostly on my forearms, but a little bit all over on occasion.  The hiv specialist thinks it will subside over time.  A little Cortizoine cream on each rash spot and i forget about them.  This drug is a life saver.  Try it"


"After 5 years on Cymbalta, I cannot say enough about its effectiveness. I really can't speak to the claims of pain relief, but as far as depression and anxiety, it's the best I can recommend. The insurance has tried several times to get my Dr to prescribe Celexa, or Effexor, but neither work like Cymbalta. Initially, I was a little spacy, and jittery, but those went away with time. I'd hate to have to pay for it as is. But, overall, I'd rather not take anything than to have to switch."


"After years on Ortho, they forced me to switch when my insurance no longer covered it.  My skin broke out, I gained 10lbs, my libido was non-existent, I sweat constantly and between migraines...which lasted for 2.5 out of 3 weeks I was on the pill...I had depression and breakthrough bleeding.  Not something I would recommend."


"I initially started taking tramadol for my vulvodynia. When my psoriatic arthritis was diagnosed I transitioned to hydrocodone but after a couple months I couldn't tolerate the side effects. I am back on tramadol. It doesn't  work as well on my pain as well the hydrocodone, but I don't have the nasty side effects either."


"It's helping me a lot."


"After contracting Lyme disease my immune system became weaker and eye allergy is now a continual issue.    Opcon-A  has made the difference.      My current problem has been going to work in the morning  and looking as if I have bloodshot eyes due to drinking alcohol or smoking.

There is soap in your eyes feeling when you first apply it, but it quickly goes away."


"I'm shocked at all of the negative reviews on here. Please don't let these horror stories scare you away! I've had my Mirena in for 16 months and I love it! I've been on BC since I was 15 since I had severely heavy bleeding. I've tried the pill,  Nuva ring and Mirena and this is by far the best. The procedure is quick and easy. It only lasted about 30 seconds and felt like light cramping.  I didn't need to take any painkillers before or after.  I had light spotting for a couple of days and haven't had my period or any period related symptoms since. Amazing!

I think if you get an experienced OB-GYN to do the procedure you're far less likely to have any complications as exact placement is needed to make it comfortable and effective."


"I had been on the patch for about 3 months. I had noticed a bit of mood swings, and my breasts grew as well (bonus). Unfortunately for any of you women who have sensitive skin or are allergic to certain chemicals, I was allergic to the sticky glue on the back of the patch. Whenever it was on, I would be extremely itchy and have a terrible rash. It became so bad that I still have scars in the shape of the patch all over my body...So if you have sensitive skin then be wary  that the patch may cause a reaction!!"


"This is the second time I've had the implant within a two year time period. The first time, after a few months, I had a really bad itch that would never go away. It has gotten so bad to the point that I would bleed and leave myself in pain every night. I tried just about everything to get rid of the itch but the only effective thing was removing the implant. I just recently got it implanted again in January and the exact same thing is happening. Wasn't quite sure at first but now I'm more than positive that its a bad side effect of the implant. Total discomfort and wouldn't recommend to anyone."


"This is great drug, I took 75mg for 4 months and lost 30 lbs with no excercise. No side effect at all, but this might not be the case with other people. I took 1 pill in the morning, and basically it allowed me not to eat or feel hungry entire day!  I'll have tea and coffee during day and just eat dinner.  If I get really hungry, will eat something healthy and very small, like fruit and veggies.

I stopped after 3 months since I want to make sure it doesn't screw up my heart.  I am seeing Heart Specialist for stress test, my doctor wanted me to get cleared by him if I wanted to continue this medication. I suggest  you take this medication seriously, and get cleared for heart condition before start taking it."


"My Doctor prescribed Alesse for me after convincing me to get off of Diane 35, as it had a much lower hormone dose. Almost immediately I began suffering from abdominal cramps, spotting unpredictably, and increased acne on my back, shoulders and jawline. I expected much of this from reading about coming off of Diane and my Dr assured me it would only last a few months. It's been nearly a year later and although the spotting and cramping has subsided, the acne is still there (I can't even wear a top without a hood, let alone a tank top or bathing suit!) and I'm displaying huge lack of interest in life. I have some good days, but spend a lot of time feeling unmotivated, tired, uninterested, etc. I want my life back."


"Had terrible vomiting and diarrhea, that took two weeks to recover from this occurred every month after the first four months!

Stopped taking it and have since started to recover  and regain a little weight"


"I had my thyroid out in Feb. of 2016.  I was put on 125mgr of generic Synthroid.  My blood sugar was dropping below 50 on a daily basis.  I looked the problem up on the internet and found that people had the same problem and advocated that I take the brand name drug to correct the problem.  For the past two months I have been on the name brand and I seem to be leveling out in  the high 60s with my sugar which is ok.  I am stuck paying the extra charge not covered by my insurance.  roughly $32 per month for 30 pills.  Have had no weight gain yet which I am very happy about.  I am going to ask my doctor at the end of this month to increase my dosage to bring my sugar up into the 80s or even 90s where it belongs."


"Worked great on a muscle strain! Even helped to heal it faster. Nice mild smell. I gave it a 8/10 and not a 10/10 because it gave me side effects. Ringing in ears quite frequently as well as a very strong dizzy feeling. This began after a week of use."


"I'm a 29 year old female. I've been suffering from horrible social anxiety disorder and panic attacks for over 2 years.  I've been on Zoloft (technically sertraline since I'm on the generic version) for 4 months. The first 2-3 weeks I started with 25 mg and I had mild side effects like diarrhea and dizziness. I also spaced out a lot. After the 3 week mark the side effects started to go away and I felt so much better than I ever had in years. I had little to no social anxiety anymore and almost felt like I had my life back. After 2 months I felt I plateaued. I started getting the anxiety/panicky feelings back. So I upped my dosage to 50 mg. For now it is still doing the trick but it's nowhere near what it was in the beginning."


"The first few months were great! Light periods, minimal cramping. The past 3 months I have started my period 2-3 days early and it lasts about 2 weeks. That gives me about a week per month that I'm not on my period. I'm changing pills tomorrow, hopefully the next kind isn't as treacherous!"


"I have been on sprintec since I was 16 and am now 18. Originally when I started taking tri sprintec I noticed myself being hungry and eating a lot of food in the middle of the night. I've always been super thin and I still am because it only made me gain weight during the first six months of taking it then I worked out and burned it all off! I no longer gain weight and I've had severe acne all my life since I was in elementary school and now I don't have a single pimple on my body!!!! I take it every morning consistently and it's been working great for me! I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend of a few years and it has protected me from getting pregnant. I highly recommend tri sprintec b/c symptoms during the first few months are normal."


"I am a 77 year old male. My Grandfather and my Father suffered from Depression. I have suffered from depression all of my life. I was first diagnosed with severe clinical depression about 1975. I was put on ELAVIL and the results were very good and I took it for about 12 years. At that time the ELAVIL stopped working and my Doctor put me on NORTRIPTYLINE. That seemed to stop the depression and worked for a long time. When it stopped working, my Doctor put me on PAXCIL. Then, a Psychiatrist added WELLBUTRIN XL. Then my PDOC replaced the generic PAXCIL with PRISTIQ.   For the first time in 40 years, my depression has gone!"


"I am 23 years old and since I was 17 I have been battling acne. I tried every over the counter gels, creams and washes from Neutrogena to ProActiv. I had seen 2 different dermatologist offices and was constantly given prescriptions for things but never told what exactly was going on. This past September I switched to a new dermatologist office and was prescribed Ziana along with Solodyn, a pill. I am not going to lie, the first month and a half was really hard for me. I am a teacher and felt embarrassed from how red my face was, the huge pimples that blotched my face and the peeling that was going on really took a toll on me. It is now December and the improvement I have seen is amazing. I am looking much clearer and no blotches!"


"Have taken Naproxen 750mg slow release for Psoriatic arthritis for about 2 years as daily pain relief, good efficacy but gradually diminishes over time. Still overall positive."


"Most useless medication I’ve ever been on, I am taking it for severe morning sickness all day and it has done nothing.. I’m still vomiting and having nausea constantly. I don’t understand how this is suppose to work for someone going through chemotherapy when it doesn’t even help a pregnant women the slightest."


"I started on 75mg at night for fibromyalgia about 3 weeks ago.  I've gone from constant, excruciating pain, to almost none. So far so good though & no weird food cravings at all."


"My Dermatitis Herpetiformis started showing up around 7th grade. For three years, my parents took me to countless doctors. Before being diagnosed, I don't think I wore a short sleeve shirt in public, no matter how hot it was, for fear of being ridiculed for my disgusting skin. Finally I was diagnosed and prescribed Dapsone, and this medicine has helped me overcome this painful and mentally exhausting disease. I know those who have Dermatitis Herpetiformis know what I mean when I say this disease can control your life if not treated. I was scared to go to the pool because of it. Dapsone has done wonders, and I've been lucky enough to not have a single side effect (knock on wood)."


"I was given this medication after a routine checkup which concluded after the results from the blood tests proved my chances for prostate cancer have doubled over the last years test. I was 52 and hard as a rock and in denial, Therefore I took none of the medication. And told no one including my wife as well. She deals with enough without having to worry about me. Wrong decesion ! I was to take all this medication within a month and report in to the Va for a second test in order to determine my possible prostrate cancer. This never happened. Long story short. I have prostate cancer and feel I have let my family down due to my stubbornness. For all you rock hard Johns lose the stubbornness or lose 10 years or more of your life. Like myself."


"Horrible shoulder and knee pain"


"Chugged it down   extra water all at once. Bloated. Worked in about an hour - went on for 3 hours. Took at at 2 am per doctors orders including extra water. Worked just about immediately and went on about  2 1/2 hours.  Worried about accidents so couldn't go back to sleep.  After colonoscopy today - every time I eat or drink anything I have an explosive event. Am starting to think there is no off switch to this."


"This is my second time taking Prozac. I took it for two years before for panic attacks, insomnia, OCD and it did wonders.  After a month my head cleared up,  my memory improved as well as my sleep. (No longer waking up in the middle of the night worried about things).  Only downside is that I tend to gain a lot of weight on it. As soon as I stopped last time the weight came off almost immediately. I plan to watch what I eat and exercise more this time. After a month now I have already started feel 2000% better and sleeping sooo good."


"Been taking is drug for about over a year now. Ive got stage 3 multiple myeloma (bone cancer). Really have now bad side affects. The only issue if have is sleeplessness, it really keeps ya awake at night hard time to fall asleep. Other than that it works great."


"Not a very good pain killer."


"Well I have had a Synvisc injection in each knee once a week for the past 3 weeks.  Unfortunately, the swelling and stiffness has been almost unbearable.  I have a very high tolerance to pain but it has kept me up at night for the past week.  I am now icing my knees for 20 minutes every 2 hours and staying off of my feet as much as possible.  I have read that these side affects can last up to 3 weeks (I hope not).  It is very difficult to get up off of the toilet and have had to use a cane the last 2 days.  It has now been a month since my first injection and I noticed the symptoms worsened with each one!   They have cost me $700 from Canada.  Insurance would not pay for medication."


"I got this birth control at my 6 weeks PP appointment and honestly after pushing out a baby through my vag, I didn't feel a thing. I was also on my period when I got it inserted but it was the best decision I made after my BC method! For me it was painless the whole procedure was like 10 mins and the Dr kept saying you'll feel a pinch, I didn't feel it then she said you'll feel some cramping , I didn't feel that either. Then before I knew it it was over. I love it!! I breastfeed so I haven't had a period since I got this IUD. I had irregular bleeding for about 3 to 4 weeks but after that no more bleeding. I totally recommend this for a new mama that doesn't want to get pregnant!!"


"I have had asthma for all 28 years of my life. I used to use my Albuterol inhaler no less than four times a day for over six years. My life was miserable. After many failed maintenance meds my doctor gave me Symbicort. Its like being in a totally different life. I use my emergency inhaler so infrequently that I forget where it is all the time as I used to sleep with it in my hand...All night. Thank you Symbicort and a big old shout out to my Doc. thank you for giving me my life back."


"I had two facial skin biopsies performed by a dermatologist who gave me several packets of Polysporin to aid in wound healing.  I had a horrible reaction to this salve (itching, redness, draining).  I went back to this doctor who looked at the wounds and told me I had an allergic reaction, discontinue it, and substitute with Vaseline.  After several days of using Vaseline this also didn't help at all,  I went to another dermatologist who examined my wounds and gave me two sample tubes of Biafine.  Within two days I was sooooooooo much better.  Redness, itching and wound weeping were down considerably.  I firmly believe that if I had Biafine right away, I would not have suffered as I did."


"This drug almost killed me. I had every side effect to the extreme. Sleep deprivation led to me being delirious. At the hospital I went into anaphylactic shock. My heart hasn’t ever fully recovered. Stay away from this rubbish “medicine.”"


"It's been fantastic. It prevents pregnancy--exactly what a woman using it wants. The first few months were heavier than usual periods, yes. But know your periods, and make sure that you feel normal half a year later, and I think all will be well. Good luck!"


"I most definitely recommend this product! The first week will be hell, but I promise it gets so much better. I would cry because my skin was so dry and stung so badly, so I called my dermatologist. She said only put epiduo on your trouble spots and avoid around the mouth!! I only have a few pimples on my forehead and chin and was applying epiduo all over, but once I only applied it to my trouble spots, it got so much better. It is week two today and my skin is clearer than ever and isn't dry and doesn't burn anymore. Suffer through the pain and it's worth it! Also my derm prescribed clindamycin phosphate lotion to get rid of the bacteria, and it really helps speed things up. IF YOUR SKIN BURNS DO NOT USE MOISTERIZER WITH SUNSCREEN!!!"


"Its been ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!! The first  week, whole body shaking. Had to start anxiety medicines. Headaches. Urinary tract pain, bladder pain since day 3, it is going on week 7 with this pain. Will be glad when it is over!!!"


"Some background of drugs/supplements I have been on, and what works and doesn't work for me.

Bentyl_ useless

Librax- useless

Lomotil works but does not prevent diaherha.

Zoloft helps anxiety associated with IBS but not diaherha

Kava helps anxiety associated with IBS

Kratom helps IBS tremendously but expensive

I have only been on viberzi for 3 weeks. It has been a lifesaver. Pretty much down to 1 bm a day. Helps with pain which lomotil did not. I still have gas. Do NOT drink with alcohol. I had 1 drink and I felt like I was going to die.  You can't take it while you're pregnant because not enough studies have been done. I had to wait 3 days for insurance to approve it, but I'm glad I have it. No generic available."


"In Sept 2006 I was in a bus accident had been in such pain nothing was working, my blood pressure would sky rocket do to the pain, nothing was helping until I got the Dilaudid IV in the hospital, I also have to take zofran for nausea. I had overgone 5 back surgeries in 10 years. I never needed pain medication until the bus accident.

They tried tordol, morphine, percocet, but nothing helped. I was on a high dosage of Dilaudid for 3 years until my screws were removed in 11-2013. I have been going off dilaudid for 3 yrs now. I take 3.  4 mg tabs a day it takes almost 1 hour to work, but it only helps the pain for about 3-4 hours. This should only be used when nothing else will. I am so thankful."


"Spiriva Respimat  is amazing.  It has made a huge quality of life difference for me. I haven't been able to breathe this well for years."


"There has never been a medication that helped to alleviate my pain like Nucyenta ER."


"I started toprol back in spring of 2004. I was switched from generic metoprolol, I was on that for borderline hbp. After 4 years on that I developed racing and very irregular heart beats the toprolxl did nothing. they got even worse. My doc took me off saying it was side effects of both drugs. I immediately improved. I still have them but not as bad. No cardiologist has told me what was wrong. I have a really bad back. In 2011 I got an epidural at T4-5 and that completely cured my rapid and irregular heartbeat for 3 years. There are 8 nerves besides the vagas nerve that go to the heart, they are part of the autonomic nervous system. They all come off the spine at C4-5 to T4-5 I have severe stenosis at all those levels."


"My sister suffered fatal respiratory failure from this pain med.  Propoxyphene, on the market one minute, off the next, sounds like-and it is a warning enough that propoxyphene containing products such as this one can yield the dangerous adverse effects."


"My husband and I have used dramamine in the past for motion sickness while on our fishing boat.  50 mg tablet will put us to sleep within 3 hrs after taking the pill. One time I could not drive home I was falling asleep at the wheel. I went home and could not keep my eyes open. This time during our cruise we saw a pharmacist on an island stop and she gave us Phenergan and told us to take 1 15 mins. before going on a fishing charter.  The pills worked wonderfully! We were out in really rough waters on a 30 ft. fishing boat for 4 hrs. Did not even get queazy at all! We were not even tired upon our return either. As a matter of fact my husband said the pill made him hungry and he ate more. Phenergan is wonderful! Throw away the dramamine!"


"I've had many yeast infections before and have tried many different treatments, the more yeast infections you experience the more the pain of it dulls to where you rely on large amounts of discharge to inform you of one, mono stat does burn but depending on how many yeast infections you have experience will cause the very if the burn it will hurt for a while but if you find something else to focus on it just feels warm and the pain isn't to bad, it is a sucessful product that fixes the problem fast, insert before bed so that the medicine will stay in for the lingers amount of time also don't take a bath because that will affect the medicine"


"I was told by MD that I probably have a hiatal hernia that is causing G.E.R.D. He prescribed an RX. When I went to pharmacy & it was too expensive, pharmacist suggested I try an over-the-counter one. I read all the labels of ingredients on Prevacid, Prilosec, etc. I chose Prevacid because of it's ingredients. I have been VERY happy with it! It works well!"


"Extremely effective for relief of severe anxiety and it has given me back functioning after years of truly disabling suffering.  It should always be used on an as-needed or short term basis to avoid tolerance and addiction. "


"After 5 weeks of using Chantix I had to stop taking the medication.  I felt extremely unstable and not myself. After 4 days off the medication I am still not smoking (which is why I still gave this medicine a 3 rating). I hope things will go back to normal. I have started to feel less "fuzzy" and uncomfortable.  Good luck to anyone who is trying.  I really hope that the time without cigarettes has allowed me to break my habits so I can lead a healthier life."


"Absolutely great. I used to have shaky voice, no independent thought, facial twitching...I used to have to have down a couple shots of vodka to make it through a 5 minute presentation.  Now, take 40mg 2 hours out, another 20mg one hour from show time, and it is like magic.  I am engaging, comfortable, able to make eye contact, and even improvise on the fly.  My presentations end with a committee firing questions in rapid succession, propranolol has provided the ability to take them all in stride. Nothing substitutes for adequate preparation and this will not make you shine if you don't know what you are talking about, but it is a godsend when you know your stuff yet so uncomfortable your delivery SUCKS. Wish I discovered sooner!!"


"Been on 40mg of Fetzima for about 3 months and love it! So helpful for mood and energy. I also have increased sex drive and zero cravings, hence, inevitable weight loss. 40mg is the only dose I have taken, so my experience might be different if dose was higher or lower. This drug reminds me of Wellbutrin (which is NDRI), but slightly less stimulating.

Cons: still brand name only, so can be expensive depending on where you live and insurance situation. Also, Fetzima is only approved to treat depression, so no improvement in anxiety symptoms. Vistaril helps with this, especially if you or your doctor are hesitant about benzos."


"light and fuzzy headed"


"I was taking orsythia for about 2 years but I switched to a stronger kind which was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Orsythia did wonders for my acne. I tend to get cystic acne but when I was on this pill I would break out maybe once every three months. Also, my ovarian cyst went away and my periods weren't as painful and a lot lighter. The only thing it didn't help was my anxiety but it definitely didn't make it worse. I love this pill but it seems to effect everyone differently so you won't know unless you try it."


"I caught a stomach bug around the middle of November and was extremely nauseous.  I saw my gastroenterologist who prescribed Ondansetron which helped.  I have post infectious IBS thanks to the nasty stomach bug I picked up and experience nausea among other things and this medicine has helped.  I hate feeling nauseous."


"My experience was horrible! If you have previous issues with anxiety or panic, do not take it! By day 4 I was having anxiety and panic attacks for no reason...it was so debilitating. I've never had acne and my face broke out terribly. I gained 5 lbs in the matter of 4 days. Headaches and moodiness. I stopped taking it because I was miserable. I'm slowly going back to normal and its been about 6 days. I experience stomach pain once in a while now but my anxiety is basically under control. I would never try to product."


"I have just started on Lamictal last month and I'm currently ramping up in small increments without any problems.  I seem to be more solid in my decisions and moods already and have found it helpful in conjunction with my other medicines which include Pristiq, Invega, and Klonopin.  I have noticed a slight increase in weight which I will have to watch carefully.  All in all, I think it is a positive addition to my regimen."


"I am 16, I have had Juvenille Myoclonic Epilepsy for almost 2 years now and have been on keppra ever since. I experienced some weight loss, extreme depression, hallucinations, and memory loss. I've only had one other grand mal seizure while on this and I do not jerk anymore. Though it works I wish I felt alive and awake during normal daily tasks. If you can seek other medications for physiological and behavioral reasons, I suggest it."


"I have a history of diabetes, heart disease and have suffered with migraines my whole life. My weight was becoming a concern and I love to be active. I started on Qsymia Feb 5th. I was 220lbs and no waist. I am down 20 pounds. Issues I had to address were Constipation. I now take 2 magnesium 250 in the evening and make sure fiber and calorie intake is sufficient. I also wasn't sleeping great so I began taking Deep sleep, it is awesome so in combination I may only be losing 1/2 to 1lb a week. I feel like I am so going FORWARD. I am not as anxious about my weight not coming off fast. I haven't had but one or 2 headaches, not even a full scale migraines . Just be patient and really focus on making good changes along the way. Wish insurance covered it."


"I took this drug for approximately 2 months and while it helped a bit during the day, the multitude of side effects were much worse! My skin itched so bad I felt like I had bugs, and my joint pain was horrible. I have two herniated discs and I'm in constant pain, but this was definitely not the pain medication for me."


"This is my 4th month on this pill. My gyno switched me from Loestrin to this because I was having in between spotting and cramping. I am 43 and have been on some form of bc pill for a long time. It made me nauseous the first two months. Periods were much shorter and lighter but cramps were kind of bad. Now on my 4th month I had a day of spotting, no cramping, and that's it. No period at all. I ALWAYS have a period. So not sure if this is a good or bad thing."


"I started taking phentermine about 5 months ago and have lost 40 pounds.  I was wearing size 10/12 and XL shirts.  Now, wearing 2 or 4 and S/M shirts.   I love phentermine.  I also followed the recommended diet of more water, smaller meals and fewer carbs.   I eat half of low sugar protein bar as soon as waking up to start metabolism, then take half pill at 10am on empty stomach, and eat lunch at 11ish.  Then, take another half pill at 3pm.   I stopped eating fried foods.   I also added exercise to my daily routine because phentermine and eating better gave me more energy. The results are awesome. Many Thanks."


"My doctor put me on Gleevec when I was diagnosed with CML five years ago. It has saved my life. I have experienced some of its side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, and continual leg pain, but the benefit of living far outweighs any of the bothersome side effects!"


"Used this pill at 5mg and it worked but the erection was uncomfortable (too hard). It caused congestion and a severe headache within 20 minutes of taking the pill. Have tried Viagra and found better results from 50mg of that. Levitra worked but would not recommend it as much as Viagra. "


"I'm 31. I've been having extremely heavy periods for about 4 years, ever since I had my Implanon removed. I have been literally going through 50 super plus tampons in a single day. I cant work when its like that. I started Lysteda two cycles ago and although its helped lower the bleeding tremendously, they have also discovered I'm no longer ovulating. Although the medicine has worked wonders, I have gone ahead and opted for the hysterectomy as the dr says its the only thing that will fix it. So, this is my last extremely painful cycle to deal with! I definitely reccomend the medication for anyone with heavy bleeding that interferes with their life the way it has mine."


"I knew I was having low T and had it checked; won't bore you with the details but it was extremely low.  About four hours after applying Androgel I felt a surge of well being, almost giddy!  Over a few days it levelled out and my previous moodiness, tiredness was much improved.  Worked great for a year, then insurance stopped covering Androgel.  I switched to Fortesta.  At four months I just felt like it wasn't doing enough, and asked the doctor to increase my dose.  He did, then at  one year my testosterone level was only 150!  For some strange reason, I just don't absorb Fortesta.  I don't want to deal with the smell of Testim and, so I'm starting shots soon.  Can tell when I'm low!"


"This medication was a life saver.  I was ill for 3 weeks and my stomach cramped every time I ate and I lost weight. Three tests were done and the last one finally showed a couple of white blood cells that indicated an infection. Finally, my Dr. prescribed this miracle medicine. After the first day of dosages I was significantly better and could eat more than one slice of bread the whole day without my stomach cramping. I haven't taken this medication in over a month and still feel healed. This truly is a miracle medication."


"I took this four times a day for four months and it greatly increased my milk production and had no side effects ."


"After four weeks, taking the Pravastatin as prescribed by the Doctor, I was unable to move.  My wrist was too sore to move, my right shoulder was too sore to use and I could not put any weight on my knees.  Five months after discontinuance of the Pravastatin, pain in those four areas has diminished to the point that am nearly 85% functional.  Had I known about the side affects of Pravastatin, I would have never taken them!"


"I've been on this BC for 4 years. It is much better than nuvaring. The constant infections were a nightmare. I already suffered from anxiety,  this made it worse. But my periods used to be so bad I couldn't move. I would just lay on the floor and cry. Now, I only get my period for about 5 days. My sex drive hasn't changed. Occasional acne breakouts but nothing too bad."


"I had nausea, trouble concentrating and had chest pains and pressure for 2 weeks after I stopped taking it. I was just as tired taking this medication."


"Was on lexapro and didn't find it helpful . prozac seems to be doing very good."


"I got Nexplanon about 3 months ago and I love it. The only thing that was uncomfortable was the numbing shot. You don't feel anything after that. My arm hurt for a few days but that was expected. My first period was a whole week but very light and since then I haven't gotten one. The only change I've noticed is when I'm supposed to have my period, I'm very overly emotional. I didn't have that problem before the insert, but since that's the only side effect it was well worth getting it done!"


"I took this after being on Zoloft for anxiety & social phobia. Zoloft didn't work (I was on it for about 4 weeks and it gave me terrible headaches, couldn't sleep, but felt tired all the time). After about 2 weeks of being on Lexapro, I got severe anxiousness and anger and rage. I had it for 3 days straight and my husband told me to call the doc and get off the meds. I also was dizzy all the time so much that I couldn't stand up without having to immediately sit down because of the world spinning. I'm switching over to Efexxor now and hoping that will help."


"I am on opiate pain medication for a back injury from a car accident, and the opiates make me nauseated and vomit. Pain doc put me on 25mg Promethazine 3X a day and it works wonders! It will make you a little sleepy, but once you get used to it then that feeling goes away. And I've tried Tigan (Trimethobenzamide) which made nausea worse. Tried Zolfran (Ondansetron) which I hated because it taste nasty and that doesn't help when you are nauseated. I would HIGHLY recommend Promethazine for ANYONE who SUFFERS with nausea from opiates or has chronic nausea!"


"With all the bad reviews I was scared to try this! So far I have had 0 symptoms. no weight gain, no  hair loss, no appetite increase/decrease. I guess everyones body is different but this birth control works amazing for me"


"This has helped me alot."


"If you have recurring BV your mate should take the pills too, even though your Dr. will tell you he doesn't need it.  But convince him to prescribe it to both of you.  That's the only way it will stay away.  I had BV for a year now.  It would go away, and then come back.  I finally got my fiance' on it, and it's gone for good. Men carry BV too, Dr's just don't know it."


"I have been using Tactuo for about two months to treat severe cystic acne. So far so good! I do still have scarring and dark spots but they are fading with time. The first couple of weeks were really terrible- more acne than I had ever had, dry burning skin. But it gets better! I usually take one night off of the gel per week to give my face a break, but still use the Cetaphil foam wash every morning and evening. My oily skin has been significantly balanced out and I am hoping it keeps up. It should be noted that I started Diane 35 the same time as the Epiduo. Whether it's the gel or the combination of birth control and gel, I'm not sure. All I know is I am not crying myself to sleep every night and my confidence is returning!"


"Requip stopped the restless legs, but caused severe insomnia for me which defeated the purpose for taking it"


"I have been on Phentermine 37.5 now for a month. Prior to taking Phentermine I have tried everything! Exercise(Tae Kwon Do, P90X *with trainer* and Insanity *with trainer*), changed my diet, did everything I could to lose weight. Nothing helped! After finding out I had an hypothyroid Doc put me on some meds, and also put me on Phentermine 37.5. So after the 1 month of being on this, I have gone from 338lbs to 311lbs.  At the beginning the side effects were bad! Always felt drunk, sweat all the time, couldn't sleep, and ALWAYS *even now as I type this* having a dry mouth! I have no hunger, and only know I am hungry when my stomach hurts. So, this works... just be ready for a roller coaster ride in the beginning. Good luck!"


"Highly recommended.

I've tried several other options over the counter, homeopathic, and prescription and for me this has been a clear winner. (I pay out of pocket for it instead of doing the Ambien thing.) Works quickly%u2014but not an Ambien instant-blackout%u2014and works just the right amount of time to keep me asleep and allow me to wake rested.

If you also suffer from anxiety you may, as I did, find this a very effective and surprisingly durable treatment. The only side effect I experienced was a bitter/metallic taste which persisted until just before lunch. Breakfast isn't super tasty but I figure its even less enjoyable when I've slept four hours."

"I love this product. It helps me so much, especially now that I'm back in school. It helps me stay focused and not get so distracted anymore. Also it cuts down my appetite, so it helps me lose weight."


"At first I loved this thing because I couldn't get pregnant. However now I'm constantly spotting constantly it never stops, my acne is going insane, my depression medication doesn't work, and I've gained over 20 pounds. I used to be so little and never had to worry about my weight. I've had mine in for about 6 months now. And I want it removed as soon as possible."


"It has been 2 weeks since I got the Mirena and I am still getting cramps, have been bleeding for 2 weeks, get mild headaches, fatigue, lower back pain.  I have read good and bad reviews about Mirena. I just hope I start feeling better soon and that this works."


"This was the worst decision ever to get this birth control I got it 6 weeks after I had my son I never stop my postpartum bleeding So never had a break in between fast forward to 6 months later and I'm still bleeding passing big clots the size of Nickels even quarters sometimes..... I'm on two birth controls the Implanon and the NuvaRing the NuvaRing only help with my bleeding for two and a half weeks then I started bleeding again really heavy I was even on the pills my doctor prescribed for me and all that did was slow my bleeding down but it never stopped nothing is working if you don't want you to get pregnant you won't you'll just bleed so your sex life will be non-existent I'm getting this thing removed next month NEVER EVER AGAIN"


"This product definitely works! Please be forewarned that the pump style tube may stop working. Since mine stopped working before I could use it a second time, I decided to take it apart to pull out the medicine. What I found was a small pea sized amount within the overly long casing. Don't mistake the outer case as the amount you get because you are being ripped off! I bought the tube style & it has 3x more product even though both styles claim to have the same amount."


"Nucynta is specifically targeted at chronic nerve pain, esp. diabetic neuropathic pain. Nucynta ER provides me with all day & night relief better than the hydrocodene taken previously. After 4 months on this drug I have not experienced any significant side effects."


"Just remember there are 3 types of Mucinex:  "D", "DM" and plain Mucinex.
The "DM" caused my chest to ache but the "D" cleared up the mucus fast."


"Back in January of 2004, I had a terrible migraine that would not go away. I finally took Excedrin PM, so I could sleep. I had a convulsion and I have had double vision ever since."


"This medicine works very well with me for my mood swings but I have never taken any other drug for mood swings before, but so far so good and the only thing that I can say about side effects is if I forget to take it I feel sick to my stomach and I do become a little agitated but once I take it I am better within in 5 to 10 minutes. Also mixing a pain pill such as Vicodin seems to counteract with the Effexor because it has made me very very irritable. Otherwise as a drug for mood swings and anxiety it works great!"


"I was a heroin addict for about 5 years and have used methadone and Suboxone maintenance.  I have been on Suboxone for five months and like methadone it is working well to keep me off heroin.  But I do want to comment on side effects of both medications that are not mentioned often enough.  As far as methadone went, my boyfriend and I had no sex drive.  And on Suboxone, I have a great sex drive, but have a very difficult time climaxing.  My boyfriend is also experiencing sexual side effects from Suboxone.  He has no sex drive and has a difficult time getting an erection and even harder time climaxing.  I think these are side effects people need to be aware of while deciding on a method of treatment."


"I have been on almost every BC you can think of and none of it has ever worked or has to many hormones and made me go insane lol. But I got the Paraguard IUD back in December after having my second child. It was very painful and I bled a lot when they inserted it but I have had nothing but good things to say about it . I'm not moody ever like I was with other bc and I do have my cycle every month at the same time which has never happened before with other bc.  My cramps are a little bad but other than that I give nothing but good reviews for this ."
