"In was prescribed Nuvaring because I wasn't sure if I was ready for an IUD yet so my doctor thought Nuvaring would be a good alternative.

The only positive experience I had was putting it in. Easy. Didn't have to think about it anymore. Until about 24 hours later.

All of a sudden a ton of symptoms hit me at once. Complete loss of appetite. Nausea. Vomiting. Pain in my legs. Pain in my abdomen. Headaches. Dizziness. Vision changes.

Turns out, I'm allergic to Nuvaring. I immediately took it out; over a month later and I'm still having some symptoms.

Definitely make sure you read the possible side effects before using the ring, even if you've taken birth control before!"


"Felt well within 2 days and continued to improve"


"Worst medication ever. Ruined my health. It's chemical lobotomy."


"First time taking 2.5mg Lexapro 3 hours after taking it I could not speak or think or walk normally, had severe nausea and headache, Spent 8 hours in ER. 2nd day have diarrhea and heart palpitations. I only took 2.5mg once. Not for me!"


"Used the one day ovule pack a couple years ago and had no problem. This time I used 3 day cream... Worst feeling ever. I thought my insides were on fire or bleeding. It will

Make you cry yourself to sleep from the pain.

Never again. NEVER. Remove this product from

The market."


"I'm prescribed 3 max MG a day for 5 years and it never has worked for me .

I freak out all the time but the Dr I think gets some sort of deal due to they still want me to take them."


"My symptoms were slight including flashes at night and some insomnia. Vaginal dryness was another concern. The patch has really helped. It's been almost a year since I started the patch. Early on I had some spotting, but that has stopped. I am having some puffiness in the application area."


"This medication is great I weight 200 pounds when I started on Nov 2015 and on July 2016 I was 150 pounds love the result and the energy that gives you is just great."


"I have had this birth control since July of 2014, so I've had it for about 7 months now and I recommend it to everyone! I only spotted for a couple days after getting it and then my period had stopped all together. I had no problems since then and I even lost 5 pounds! 100% effective for preventing pregnancies also. I love it!"


"Only medication that helps control my hives, urticaria and angioedema. "


"I like to say Colcrys 0.6 is THE BEST. I got the prescription barely yesterday and just about 8 hrs later I was without pain on my ankles and my burning disappeared, I was able to sleep. After being unable to sleep for 3 consecutive days.  Thanks to this wonderful medication I was able to sleep last night and able to workout. As for side effects only soft stools but nothing extreme. DEFINITELY I RATHER DEAL WITH SOFT STOOL THAN DEALING WITH ALL THAT BURNING AND PAIN ON MY FEET!  I truly regret not taking this medicine since 6 yrs ago. I just did not know I sadly have gout. GLADLY NOW I FOUND COLCRYS."


"Wonderful drug works almost immediately used for years. Back to normal the next day."

"I've been taking soma for at least 7 years due to several fusions  neck and back, plus muscle spasms  but it seems though  the FDA don't think prescibing something that works is a good
idea  !! So now once again I need to go w/o them until hopefully my appeal goes thru. Plus I guess I'll be going thru withdrawal symptoms since they only give you basically a 30 day warning that the Insurance co will no longer cover them. Luckily for me since I do take other opioids it won't be as bad, but these are what helps me function better plus help me sleep. It's not an outrageously high in cost but  with  my disability check which is not much I can't afford to pay full price,  that's what I thought Ins was for: well duh on me!I have enuogh problems and don't need this."


"I've been on this birth control for 4 months now. Once Inserted, I stopped bleeding for 2 weeks and ever since then I've bled and spotted nonstop. I started breaking out a lot along my cheeks and chin which does mean it's hormonal and also on my back which is something I've never experienced before. I also swear my hair is getting thinner, everyone says otherwise but I believe I know my body the best. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to get it removed. I'd deal with the spotting and some acne if I didn't have to deal with thinning hair. Please remember what doesn't work for me MAY work for you."


"I am a 45 year old male who has has been diagnosed with GAD that has been bad for about three years. I have tried Paxil, Prozac, Effexor, and one or two other drugs that I could not tolerate. The side effects were worse than the anxiety I was trying to help. Seven weeks ago my P doc suggested trying Viibryd. I reluctantly started it. I am highly sensitive to medicines af any type, so my doc started me at 5 mg and moved me up to 10mg at 4 weeks. The first two weeks were great with marked improvement, and then my anxiety spiked up pretty bad. My doc encouraged me to continue and that this can be normal. I had a rough time until week 5 when things started to level off. I'm now into week seven, and I feel great. Stick it out!"


"After 5 years on Paxil, then 2 years on Paxil CR, I weaned myself off in 2 months. I had severe nausea, and abdominal pain for 3 months. I am back on Paxil 10 mg.daily, under a Physician Assistant's care to eventually wean off. Nausea is gone, as is the abdominal pain. It was so bad for those three months, I was hardly able to function, because of the extreme nausea."


"I've been on Saphris for 5 days and already my boyfriend has noticed a big change in my mood and outlook on life. I went from seeing things out of the corners of my eyes and hearing voices whispering in my ear on top of a deep depression to such clarity. I feel happy (not manic) just legitimately good for the first time in over a year. Currently I am taking 150mg Wellbutrin XL, 5mg Saphris, and 0.5mg Klonopin. I haven't needed a Klonopin in 4 days and I was taking it 0.5mg daily, usually in the afternoon around 1pm. This is a good medicine if you have tried a lot of other things that haven't worked."


"Back Pain - This medicine works fine at first, then you build a tolerance and it doesn't work at all. In fact I stopped taking them all together when taking way more than recommended didn't help."


"Have taken a reduced dose of Temodar (Temodol in UK) for 12 years on a five week cycle.  Side effects bad - nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. However, I have MRI scans every 8 weeks and so far no recurrence."


"Daytrana really helped with my ADD, as it is a time release patch rather than a pill, and the pills don't usually keep me medicated long enough. I process them too fast. So the patches work great. Minimal skin irritation. However, it may have caused some kind of dependency issue. Because I now rely on the Daytrana to help me focus, I find it difficult to focus without it, to the point of being unmotivated and grumpy if I don't apply the patch. But nothing major."


"I took this medication in 2015 (as Brintellix) for approximately 3 months for major depression.  It made one of my lower eyelids twitch.  And I mean twitching non-stop, 24-7 which continued for 3 weeks after cessation of the drug.  It looked like i had an incontrollable tic, both embarassing and physically uncomfortable.  I was afraid the tic could become permanent tardive dyskinesia so I stopped the medication.  As far as depression, I did not notice any significant improvement."


"Lisinopril  has been a complete answer to prayer for me. I have had migraine headaches from childhood which have only increased in frequency and severity with age. (Violently ill & lasting 3 days) My doctors have tried every type of medication with very minimal results. In questioning 3 family members who are on Blood Pressure medicines, (all of whom have ceased having migraines), I found they are all on an ACE Inhibitor.  I requested a trial of Lisinopril even though my blood pressure is normal.  My doctor agreed to a 5mg/day trial, although she admitted she would have never thought to try this but for my research.  Six months later, had no migraines. Only a few "chinook" (weather-related) mild headaches, easily treated with Tylenol or Advil. So Thankful!"


"While taking this medication I developed severe diarrhea.  Stopped medication and it went away."


"I think the patch worked better for me in the beginning.  Less effective now.  As far as the sticking I found it works best on my lower back area.  You have to make sure there is no lotion or soap where you apply and then hold your hand over the patch for at least 15 sec. to make sure it adheres. The heat of your hand activiates the adhesive. Didn't work on my abdomen, caused severe itching but not on my backside. My local Walmart is out of stock. I am going to try eBay."


"I started BC because I had severe headaches, nausea, and dizziness when on my periods. I never had heavy bleeding or clotting... but I would get so dizzy I would be close to fainting if I was on my feet too much. The doctors simply said it could be my hormones changing and prescribed me ocella. I haven't noticed any weight gain or  anything. It regulated my pain and dizziness during my periods. However, after 4 months I've been very nauseous and have had severe headaches and stomach pain. I could be coming down with something so I couldn't say it's 100% from the pill. Overall it's worked great for me and definitely aleviated my pain during menstration."


"I love this stuff! I've had no bad side effects at all. I have painless periods now, when before I used to be in bed all day from period pains. The only bad thing I've noticed is that some months I will be very moody while on my period. I also notice that the morning after taking the first pill of each pack I feel a bit nauseous when waking up, but it goes away within a few minutes (which is normal when taking anything with hormones). I started taking this pill when I was 18 at a 34D cup size, I am now 20 years old wearing a 32DDD. I think this pills definitely had to do something with making my boobs grow, but hey I'm not complaining!"


"I tried Belviq for Two weeks great med but no insurance will cover it. Coupons only 20 % out of pocket  $265.00 for just for 1 a day dose."


"Just wanted to say that this product worked for me. I waited about 24 hours after I had intercourse so I was worried it wouldn't work because it says the sooner the better. I had mild cramps & my breasts were pretty sore, nothing too intense though. My period came this morning, which is just a couple days off from when I usually start so yeah I'm very relieved. Best advice I can give is to try your very best not to get overly stressed, that never helps."


"I stated taking phentermine on 4/1/15  and my wt.was 225lbs  I've been having a very dry mouth and not really having an appetite. Sometimes I forget to eat and have only one meal but now I'm forcing myself to eat . Now today I wt. 210lbs but I do exercise 3 days a week . so I'm down 15lbs and I'm feeling great I still have more to go . I will love to be 160."


"This drug has been a major miracle drug for my 18 year old son with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He had been experiencing what I believe was a major depressive disorder for over 3 years. He stopped doing the things he once loved,  he was angry, oppositional, anxious, OCD and stopped eating-he went from 169lbs to 108lbs. I believe he wanted to die. We treated his auto immune disorder with something called   Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and started on .5 mg of Rexulti about 4 months ago. Every one of of his symptoms is almost completely gone. I attribute a lot of the improvements to this drug. He is doing all of the things he once loved and more. Simply amazing!!"


"I took the first pill this morning with food. I feel very light headed kinda dizzy and kinda nauseous.  I think I'll have to go home from work  because I feel so tired as well. Don't think this drug is for me."


"This is my fourth day on Prozac. I have been extremely hyper/manic in the morning, but by night time I'm exhausted from all the bouncing around that it helps me sleep better. I talk a lot more and a lot faster. I talk to strangers on the street, say hi to people, which is very unlike me because I'm normally shy and reserved. I felt different the first day I took it. I wouldn't say I'm "happy", just not sad. I've tried to think about sad things that used to bother me but I feel neutral now. Today particularly I started to feel a little down. They say with every high comes a low, so I'm assuming it's crash time with this medication. But I'm hoping it will even out in the next few weeks, which is when you're supposed to feel it's full benefits."


"Amazing drug - usually cures my migraines within 30 minutes after taking!"


"Works great, really helps"


"One pill is plenty for me and I'm a big guy. Don't expect a miracle in five minutes. I take it late in the evening  before bedtime and before noon the next day it's working. I drink plenty of liquids (not milk) when taking it. If I take more than one pill, it gives me cramps and diarrhea . I find that eating foods with plenty of fiber (25-30g/day) and drinking plenty of fluids (fewer dairy products) eliminates most of my constipation problems. When I get off that diet I tend to have the problem again. I also take some Metamucil daily, "after" a good BM, mixed with juice or water which gives me lots of additional fiber . This works for me, hope this helps! For serious problems I would recommend seeing a doctor."


"Hallucinations, nausea, irritability and exhausted"


"Worked best over all the other anti-depressants I've tried. Still feel a lack of motivation, but the overall mood I'm in has improved. I have been on this for about 1 year now. The only downside is the price, as there is no generic version available. I will likely have to switch again because of my insurance deductible being so high /:"


"I'm a 24 year old healthy woman. I just gave birth a little over a month ago. I decided to give this birth control a shot since every other birth control I've tried was too strong and caused me to have migraines. Well SILLY me for doing so, I've literally taken only five pills so far and I feel like a complete psycho! I've had terrible mood swings, cry at the drop of a pen, overly sensitive, I've CRAMPED every single day and have had brown spotting like my periods coming since I started the pill, and loss of appetite. I didn't even feel like this while pregnant at all. This is the worst birth control I've personally ever had and Will not be taking anymore pills for my own sanity lol I do though hope it works for everyone else."


"As follow up to my previous post: after taking for approximately 6 weeks, I have the following side effects to report. Marked drowsiness for the first few weeks, now gone. Increased facial sweating, excessive sweat only from my face despite not being warm, though it is not always a daily occurance, it still continues. Lastly, I do very  occasionally experience yawning an hour or so after taking my morning dose, usually after a sizeable bowel movement.  Overall, this drug has GREATLY IMPROVED my quality of life, VERY effective w/ virtually no side effects. I do need to take a Bisacodyl lax.based on what I eat, but I HIGHLY recommend you try this if on long term opiates like me!!"


"I am an emotional wreck. I cry about everything! My sex drive is down. My acne is worse. My cysts are inflamed, but I have STOPPED bleeding. The many different bc pills didn't help with that. I have bled 3 ish weeks out of the month for the past few years and nuvaring is our (mine and my gyno's) last effort before taking out my uterus (I'm 26). I'm really hoping that some of these side effect calm down the more my body gets used to this medicine because right now it is trading one bad situation for another."


"I have had low back pain for about 20 years, had a disc bulge cut out L4-L5 now pinched never L5-S1. I WENT TO Norco because I have taken Vicidon for many year. Norco works very well for me. I take 4 10mg four times a day. "


"I had unprotected sex two days after my period ended. I took the plan b within 12 hours. Two days later I started bleeding lightly and it lasted 3-4 days. I didn't think this was a normal period so I still expected to get mine at the normal time. I didn't come. I freaked out. I was one week late and decided to take a pregnancy test. Negative! That same night I started my period. Maybe the light bleeding was the plan b working and it reset my cycle because 28 days after that I got my period. I'm now on birth control. No kiddos for me thank you very much. Thanks plan b!!"


"The norco works great for breakthrough pain. Does not last too long. You can double the effects of this drug if you take Tagamet 30 min before and you have an empty stomach. Also taking soma with this will increase the strength and will last longer. I guarantee if you try this you will thank me."


"Horrible horrible! I bled for 7 months.  I got bad Anxiety. The implant got lost in svared tissue in my arm which made it very hard to remove. I now hv mirena. Hopefully its better for me."


"When I first took it, it worked great...I even slept through 2 nights in a row! I haven't done that in so many years, I can't remember how long. But, I got a bladder infection within the first 10 days and since then, have had little to no control once again of my overactive bladder. Am hoping that maybe given a little more time, the pills may kick in again."


"I am a 30y/o German automotive technician, when I was 18 I was hit by a drunk driver. Broke my lower back in 2 places,my hip and knee.  I was  taking 40mg OC and breakthru meds every 3 hrs , I was doing decent until in 2008 I was involved in a head on collision which broke my neck in 6 places. The pain form that was worse than anything I had experienced before. My dr increased my pain med doses, we tried everything from MS Contin to Opana ER, nothing was able to keep my pain under control for long. Being an automotive tech just added to the misery. Finally Exalgo came out and now 16mg/day with 2mg instant release dilaudid for breakthrough, my pain is finally controlled and I have my life back and don't have to take pills every few hours!"


"Hi I am just starting my experience with phentermine 37.5 I currently weigh 325 will be giving an update in 2 weeks. I am excited so far so good. I love this blog."


"I have always struggled with SEVERE cramps, lengthy periods, and heavy bleeding. The OB/GYN gave me a sample of Minastrin FE and it worked WONDERS: No cramps, light and short periods. I went back to the OB/GYN because of an insurance change and was prescribed Junel Fe. It started out with extreme nausea EVERY night to the point where I couldn't move or I'd gag. Then there was leg pain. My period started and it was back to the bad cramping, long periods, and heavy bleeding. Very disappointing. Thankfully, I'm being put back on Minastrin. Just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. I hope everyone has a much better experience."


"Within twenty four hours of using this cream, I saw significant improvement in my symptoms! Wonder cream, YES!"


"First time on birth control and I started with this one mainly because I had terrible cramps and period side effects. Doctor recommended Ortho Tri-Cyclen and I have been using it for 4 months now. Can't complain about the pill. My face has significantly become clearer. Still have pretty bad cramping though. My period now lasts about 4-5 days versus the 6-7. I Also had weight gain. Gained 15lbs  in a matter of 3 mths. I am 5'8 and normally weigh 115 so for me it wasn't a big deal. I definitely felt my breast a lot heavier too. I rarely suffer from headaches and this pill made me get one almost every other day, which was annoying and uncomfy. Had to switch due to break through bleeding though, Either Azurette or Lutera. "


"I love Nexplanon. I started it about 4 months ago and it hasn't been at all terrible for me. I've been having lighter periods that last for about a week and a half. It's not that big of a deal because they are so light. I also don't get cramping at the level I used to get it. I'm hoping my period will stop all together, but either way it's still so much lighter than what I used to have before. I haven't gained any weight except maybe a pound or two but that's because I already had a weakness for sweets. I also didn't have any acne problems. I'm 16 and my skin has been as clear as a baby's bottom. I think Nexplanon had to do with it because my problem acne areas haven't had any breakouts and I love it."


"I started taking farxiga after not being able to control type 2 diabetes . I was taking Janumet . Since I been on farxiga for 3 months it had given me yeast infections, sore throat, runny nose and frequent urination . I am going to speaks to my Dr to see if I can try somethings else the side effects are so scary and bothersome ."


"I've been on the patch for 4 months now. The first couple of days on week one I have a low grade headache but nothing tylenol cant fix. I found putting the patch on my shoulders on my back it gets way too itchy! So I put mine under my underwear line on my outside thigh and it doesnt itch near as bad. It sticks pretty well and by the time it looks like its about to fall off its time to put on the new patch anyway. I started my patch on Sunday and when its the week without it I know exactly when I will get my period and when it will end. It lasts about 6 days (only major downside for me because without birth control mine usually only lasts 3 days.) Cramps are a little worse but bearable and only happens the day before period and day of. No weight gain."


"Chronic back pain for two years. I have a herniated disc touching a nerve and a ripped disc. Though my pain isn't severe over time it builds up to what feels like an endless spiral of pain. A few of these later and the pain goes and I feel like a normal human being again. I take for a few months and then I'm okay until I find that next uncomfortable twist. Then back on them for a short while. They have given me my life back."


"It did help me to quit smoking, but I became very aggressive on it and had to discontinue use."


"Had the shot in april,  began bleeding straight away and after 5 weeks of bleeding, I had a day of bleeding so bad, I collapsed and was taken to A & E. My hg levels were so low, it will take six months of treatment to get them back to normal. I stopped bleeding after 8 weeks, then once it wore off in July, I started bleeding again and haven't stopped for 3 weeks up to now. I have gained weight, had severe sleep disturbance, had hair loss and stomach complaints since being on it. Never ever going nr this again!"


"I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis about 10 years ago. At that time I was prescribed this at 25mg a day. I was going to the potty about 20 times a night.  I took the meds for about 2 weeks but could not handle the side effects of confusion and listlessness. I quit taking it for a long time and suffered with the frequent urination. I was at my wits end (no sleep!) and found the old pill bottle of amitriptyline in my drawer.  I am no longer working so I decided that I would give it another try since I didn't have a schedule to keep. Even though I'm a little groggy in the mornings I am sleeping at least 6 hours straight without having to go to the bathroom.  I have gone from waking up approx. 20 times a night down to 2 times. It is a miracle."


"My doctor gave me 3 samples of Pennsaid while waiting on the prescription. I don't understand any of these reviews. It does absolutely nothing for me. I was in a car accident and it appears I may have partially torn a ligament in my wrist. Maybe I was misdiagnosed and this is just the wrong medication for that? My doctor told me it would help the inflammation but all the reviews I've read are claiming "pain relief"?  Thankfully I had the samples before I was forced to spend upwards of $75.00 for this useless medication."


"Started taking this on October 19th, I weighed 217. The first week on the .6 dose I lost 1 pound. My second week on the 1.2 dose I have lost 5 pounds and I am not done with my second week yet. When I increased my dosage I did experience some nausea but nothing too bad and an occasional headache. My appetite is down, I'm not really too hungry and I have been drinking a lot of water. Very happy right now and hope this is only the beginning. Thankful that my insurance covers this too."


"I'm starting my second month of using Lo Loestrin Fe. I tried other birth control pills at different dosages but they would make me feel really dizzy and sick. My doctor provided me with Lo Loestrin Fe and so far I have not felt as bad as I had before with previous birth control methods.
I have felt somewhat dizzy but quickly goes away. The only main concern is why I have not started my period yet. I know the pill can affect your body in different ways but I don't like that you don't know if whether it's because of the pill or if you're pregnant. I have been cramping and have really tender breasts but no period. Don't know if this is normal or not which is why I came to look over these reviews. Looks like it really depends on the person."


"I had pain in my stomach no one could diagnose for three months. I was put on SSRI that made me worse an I lost 35 pounds with no appetite. Pain one day released and I became extremely anxious . by taking a small dose of Valium in the am and pm I am so much better also was given Dr Claire Weeks book which helped. I never thought I would recover hang in there."


"Only over the counter pain med I can take with Crohn's disease.  All other pain killers have some degree of aspirin in them.  For those with stomach diseases acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the only thing we can take."


"I'm 18 and on my third day of celexa, I've had depression 3+ years now and have gone unmedicated. I finally agreed to try celexa 30MG  and .25MG of xanax. Changing my life and cannot wait for even more improvement. Only issues so far is some insomnia and CONSTANT yawning but it's a small price to pay!"


"I have OCD and trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). I started taking Risperdal in Jan of 2016 (age 18), and was up to 1mg in March. I still had not noticed changes in my behavior as far as the pulling went or the obsessive thoughts. In a last ditch effort to see if the Risperdal would be effective, we went up to 2mg. After three weeks, I noticed a huge change in behavior. I had little urge to pull anymore. It was such a relief. But then came the long term side effects. I stopped getting periods and my eyes started twitching. I'm now being weened off the drug because of the side effects. The drug seems to work great for OCD and trich, but the side effects ended up being too much for me to manage."


"Qsymia is definitely what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been dieting for 10 + years, crazy diets, works out routine, diet pills, teas, shakes, phone apps, you name it, I’ve done it and spent way too much on it. Qsymia, alters your mind set, no crazy BM, or running to the bathroom or anything like that at all! It simply helps you to not thinking about food,  feel full much faster, I eat ¾ less of what I used too. Feeling satisfied, feels amazing. It took about 3 week before I really noticed the changes. The first 2 weeks I wasn’t so sure it was going to work. They like to see a weight loss of 6% and I lost 7.8% (17 lbs in 10 weeks, and I don’t know if I would really count the first 2 weeks)."


"I've been on nexplanon for 6 years and had originally to go another three years but I'm getting tired of constantly bleeding, acne, weight gain and mood swings. When I got this put in I weighed 105 lbs now I weigh 145lbs and have zero confidence because of it other than that I'd probably keep using it."


"I took 2 pills at 6 pm right after supper and by 3:30am I woke up to excruciating abdominal pain. I went to the bathroom and could not sit upright on the toilet. I sat there for about 15 mins and had a bowel movement. I crawled back on the bed and almost passed out. I was sweating so bad and cold chills. I'm jerking all my clothes off laying naked. I was hurting so bad. I moaned and rolled on the bed from the pain. It's 7:35pm the next day, been over 24 hours since taking the medicine and I'm still cramping. I've had 6 bowel movements so far. I thought maybe my body just couldn't handle laxatives but reading other reviews it could possibly be the product. Never again will I take a laxative."


"I'm only going to say that I just inserted the medication cream half an hour ago... and I had to jump I the shower to clean my insides somehow. I could not stand or sit or lay with the pinching itch inside me and it was horrific. They say to insert the medication at night but how can I sleep like this-  no way. Never again.. I have had prescription miconazole and it was a clear gel that did not sting what so ever. I'll stick with that or a pill- thanks"


"I got the depo injection in August 2015. After a week I started spotting which continued until my next injection in November. The GP said the bleeding would stop soon after I had the next injection so I agreed and get shot number 2. I continued to bleed into February 2016 and decided not to get a third injection. I continued to bleed after 2 weeks so went on the pill. This stopped the bleeding but the pill gave me migraines (which is the reason I went on depo) so I stopped taking it after a month. And within the week I was bleeding again. It's now April 2016 and I'M STILL BLEEDING! When is it going to stop?! I went to the gp for blood tests and I'm now low in iron because I've basically been bleeding for 6 WHOLE MONTHS."


"So I have read some reviews of this pill that are bad but my review will be great! I am on my 6th week taking this pill and I'm so happy! My sex drive is back! Acne is clearing! Period is gone lol it disappeared but oh well. (Not pregnant/took tests)

Only cons I have were that I do get a tad emotional and cry and little things, I had brown spotting for 2 weeks when I first started it,  no appetite,and  A tiny bit of nausea"


"I took this medicine in college and it really did help with the incessant worrying. However, it made me a careless pleasure seeker who engaged in risky and unproductive behavior. Needless to say I received a 0.0 GPA the one semester I took it.  I did enjoy my time however and still have fond memories but know now that I have too many lazy tendencies to take this medicine."


"I have been taking this birth control for 6 months and I have finally decided to stop taking it. Although it did help eliminate my acne, regulate my cycle, and prevent pregnancy, the cons outweigh the pros for me. At first I didn't really experience too many negative side effects, but as time has gone on I have become severely depressed, moody, and unmotivated. I am constantly tired and have become extremely forgetful about even simple things. I have become overly anxious and paranoid. I did have anxiety at times before the pill, but it was never this bad. My breasts are constantly sore and I have absolutely no sex drive anymore. None at all. I know it's this pill causing this and I need to stop taking it so I can feel like myself again."


"I was on 100mg of Pristiq which really wasn't working for me. I stopped taking medication and started having suicidal thoughts.

A friend recommended Cymbalta so I saw a Dr and started on 30mg. Within a month my depression was nearly non-existent. I had off days but overall it was amazing.

After the month though, I noticed I was starting to feel down and irritable towards the end of the day (I take mine at night before sleep)

I've been increased to 60 mg and I can't be happier. I have not felt this calm and happy with life in close on 7 years

There are noticeable side effects for me. I have extremely vivid dreams most nights and I can recall most of them upon waking. Also loss of appetite is a big one."


"I take 200mg od and after the 2nd dose i started feeling chest congestion, dry cough, pain in the diaphragm, loss of appetite and nausea"


"I have three herniated discs in my lower back. I started taking Nucynta after I built up a tolerance of other pain killers (Codine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone). If I take a whole pill, it puts me to sleep, the pain goes away but my face and neck itch, this can last 6 hours. I have found if I take half a pill, it takes the edge off the pain and there's no itching and I don't feel sleepy; I can work and even drive. I take these halves every 5 hours until I know the pain subsides.I'm on and off these pills; never had other side effects. I don't take them long enough (maybe 2-4 days) to get addicted."


"Prozac was the first medicine I tried for anxiety. I tend to worry a lot and obsess over things. I felt a decrease in my anxiety but it made me too lazy. I didn't want to do anything except sit on the couch and watch TV. I was even too lazy to eat which caused me to lose weight. I then tried Lexapro which I gained weight on but felt a significant decrease in anxiety and now I am on Cymbalta and do not feel a significant decrease in my anxiety and am thinking about talking to my doctor about trying something new again."


"I've been using Pristiq for 6 months now. I have never used any form of medication for anxiety before as I said to myself I never want to be on medication. So I spoke to family, friends and then finally a psychologist to help me with my constant anxiety and negative mind chatter- but nothing helped so I decided to see my doctor for a prescription for an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety type medication. He recommended Pristiq. The first few days I felt a little dizzy, some constipation but that soon passed and in about 2 weeks I was feeling a lot calmer, more level headed and a lot more positive. It has helped me get through a tough time and I would recommend it."


"I've been on this birth control for about 4 years now and the very beginning of it was hard. I was young so I wasn't paying attention to how my body was reacting but looking back it made me hungry with a huge appetite and I had spotting for almost a month straight. The doctor said it was normal and I just needed to adjust. I've been on this medication since and I think it's great. Only giving 9/10 because I do get frequent spotting when I'm not supposed to, but what do you expect from something that only makes you have your period every 3 months. The other major downfall of this medication is that I completely lost my sex drive."


"I am 25 year old boy with long history of severe anxiety and panic attack during social activities specially presentation. I used to blush like tomato, speak with stressful voice and my heart pounding like it wants to explode and sometimes I could not finish my presentation because I wasn't able to talk anymore. A dreadful nightmare. Until I knew about this medicine and it changed my life. This lovely little red pill eliminates most of physical symptoms of anxiety like racing heart beat, shaky hands, sweating, stressful voice and I use 40 mg 2 hours before my presentation and it works great.

About side effects, sometimes I have a little headache but its not a big deal."


"I struggled with anxiety & depression for years and suffered silently. At 42 yrs of age I asked my GP for help and he put me on 20mg . My anxiety is a thing of the past with no panic attacks and now go shopping on my own with ease. It changed my life!"


"I started using Versicare about 7 months ago and it worked fantastic. Side effects is going to make me stop it today,  dry mouth, raspy voice, blurred vision, sore throat, constipation and leg cramps (we use to call them charlie horses) I am 81 years old and can't stand the pain in my leg all day and night is worse. But for the incontinence it was a blessing not to have to run to the bathroom every few hours and not make it home from shopping without being wet.  I have tried Detrol but get terrific headaches from that. Will see my Dr. and hopefully we can work something out.   I am on the 5 mg."


"Started July 11th, 2015- 5'5'' tall and 197lbs. Today is July 21st, 2015 and I weighed in at the gym this morning at 186.7- so slightly over 10lbs in 11days. First few days I had extra energy. The first full week I was exhausted and did not go to the gym. I had really lowered my caloric intake and cut out all extra sugars, breaded carbs and dairy...I ate a little more over the past weekend and this morning I finally felt up to exercising. I still feel tired, but fall asleep for an hour after work and then am ready for bed by 10p. I am not super hungry, but still try to avoid being around my favorite "junky" foods because I overeat just because it's in front of me... I take 1 30mg pill daily and got a b12 shot, which I can repeat 1x month."


"I was put on Sutent (37.5 mg) after chemo failed to stabilize my liver metastasis. Sutent helped to shrink the tumors but the side effects were too many. I got blisters on my hands and feet, my hair turned grey, I had diarrhea and gas all day. Overall my quality of life was severely compromised and it was even hard for me to walk. Finally they changed my medicine to Afinitor which did a good job without any side effects."


"Started 10mg of lexapro today in addition to 10mg of buspirone twice a day which I have been taking for months, and xanax as needed. Thank goodness I took lexapro on my day off around 3 pm. The side effects took place just an hour after taking it and I'm still battling them at 5 am the next morning! First I could barely keep my eyes open, I felt like I was going to fall asleep. Then I dealt with unbearable nausea, diarrhea, 10x worse anxiety, dilated pupils and now insomnia. I really want to give this drug a chance after reading all the great reviews, but I just don't know if I am willing to suffer through these side effects especially since I have been able to sleep very well recently which is something I have NEVER been able to say."


"Hello,

I have never in my life  had something  to  work like phentermine, my beginning  weight  was 270 on 10/22/15 now I'm  258 on 11/14/15."


"My father-in-law was diagnosed with metastic squamous cell head and neck cancer. Had 6 weeks radiation but cancer had spread. Conventional chemo did nothing. Had large tumors, one breaking through the chest wall. Could not do daily tasks.

He started on Erbitux infusions and within four weeks two of the tumors had disappeared and the larger ones had shrunk. Didn't need pain medicines any more.

Side effects he experienced:  blood infections from the PICC line, electrolyte imbalance, rash on his body.

He is happy with drug. He has lived several months longer then anticipated but he must stay on Erbitux or the cancer will come back."


"So a year ago I got my skyla put in, my uterus is tilted so they first try putting it in was un successful .  I went back three days later and they used an ultrasound the only pain I felt was the cramps after which were hell but that's not why I am giving it a bad rating! After a year of it being it I got pregnant and had it removed the next day after finding out and then two days after that I started bleeding! I'm having a miscarriage. I wasn't on any antibiotics nothing that could interfere with the skyla! I loved my skyla while I had it but it was suppose to keep me from getting pregnant. It had one job, and it didn't even last more than a year! Btw getting pregnant on an IUD is HORRIBLE!!!!!"


"I have been taking these pills for a few months now.  I have been experiencing major sweating issues. I sweat through most of my clothes and experience "hot flash" type feeling through out the day.  I did like that this pill has made my periods extremely light and they only last for about 2 days.  That is nice but I am not sure if I can deal with the excessive sweating."


"I have been using Drysol for close to 16 years now... I love it.  My story is very similar to several I have read on this site.  I had a terrible problem with underarm sweat - to the point of putting wash cloths under my arms.  It was so bad I could not wear sweaters in the winter because I would soak them.  When I started using Drysol I had the typical itching and burning for a few weeks.  The more I have used it the less the problem.  Now, I only itch if I get too far out from under my arm pit and put the solution on skin not used to it.  When I first started using Drysol I was an every other day user.  Now, in the winter I can go 6 to 8 days.  In the summer I go 3 to 4 days - I live in Atlanta, GA and we reach 98 yesterday."


"Taste is absolutely awful. It's extremely salty and bitter. Took me more than an hour to gulp down just one dose (16 oz), and I would recommend sucking on a lime or lemon slice in between sips to help with the taste. In terms of effectiveness, it really worked! Everything came out like a liquid waterfall after around 30 minutes after each dose."


"Just took this about 17 hrs ago. There was a bit of intensified burning and itching but not any worse than the discomfort the yeast infection was causing me. I iced my labia and vulva which helped a lot. Haven't seen any improvement yet, hoping to feel at least a little better tomorrow."


"I have had pretty bad anxiety over the past 5 years, had occasional panic attacks and trouble leaving my comfort zone. I was on Lexapro, which did nothing but make me fat.  I also have a bulged disc and was prescribed this in lieu of stronger opiates like Vicodin and Percocet.  To me this medicine is a miracle.  I am happy always, never anxious, and never feel uncomfortable, even when I am doing things I don't enjoy.

"


"It changed my life. I had severe social anxiety. I felt better by the 3rd day."


"I've had Interstitial Cystitis for 10 yrs. I've had 3 cystoscopy surgeries and 1 bladder tack. All to have a  diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis. I have taken Elmiron on and off for years and I unfortunately do not get much if any relief. I'm only 29 and fear that I am going be in pain forever."


"Doesn't work. Unreliable dosing. Expensive."


"I really love Provigil. I used it for ADD. Provigil helped me stay focused and motivated. The only side effect was if I took it to late in the day I might have a little trouble getting to sleep. It makes sense because it is a stimulant. It is a great drug for ADD because it doesn't cause all those nasty side effects other ADD drugs have. Unfortunately I have to stop using it because insurance won't cover Provigil because it has not been approved to be used as an ADD drug. Completely disappointing. It truly is an amazing drug for ADD."


"Brought on a wicked toothache like I've never had before :/"


"At first it was great for sleep which is the cause of my anxiety. I'm having some good night's and a couple of bad nights more good than bad."


"My husband took this drug for 1 month. He started losing his hair and that was a deal-breaker for him. Not enough of a trial to know effectiveness of the drug- but this bad rating was given because of the WITHDRAWALS. Brain zaps, nightmares, anger, vomiting and nausea. We started reading up online concerning the dependency called "Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome"   ...um WTF?? Please look it up- people are staying on the drug ONLY because the withdrawal symptoms are so bad and can last longer than the time you were taking the drug. My husband could be suffering for a year- we are newlyweds! Please do not start this drug if you haven't already!!!"


"After these reviews,I understand one thing-all body is different. I am 27,taking orsythia for 1 year and before I took other pills. All of them have the same symptoms. About gain weight-girls you just have to control yourself during taking pills,do sport,eat the same portion of food(not double), have wonderfull relationships and life is wonderfull!!! Moodiness etc... it is not because of pills,it is because of ur thoughts. We use to think that someone or something is guilty in our problems. Boolshet"


"I've had issues with acne since around middle school and have literally tried everything from different topical creams to antibiotics. Unfortunately antibiotics were not a safe long term fix so I initially started taking Beyaz and was on that bc for about 4 months. My acne did not improve that significantly so my dermo switched me to Ortho Tricyclen about 3 months ago. I think that you should be aware that your acne will probably get a little worse before it gets better. I had a horrible break out like 2 months in and I got super frustated but now my acne is so much better on my face and chest so I think it's working! I have also been taking spironolactone as well."


"5 mg causes me to cough a lot and have an irregular heartbeat."


"I've had implanon in now for about 4 months now. I have not gotten pregnant after numerous times of unprotected sex with my husband. I do however spot in between periods and as of recently I've been bleeding excessively to the point where I have to change my pad almost every 2 hours and it's completely full or has overflown. Im also experiencing large clots of blood during my period. This has been going on for 2 weeks now. I have not gained weight of had any changes to my skin. I do feel week from the extreme blood loss and will follow up on it soon."


"I have had periodic depression for years, and general anxiety problems as well, lately they had been getting worse.

I cannot tolerate the SSRI anti-depressants, can't even tell any effect when I take Buspar, was taking Clonazepam when things got really bad.

I went back to see a Dr. I have great respect for, had another QEEG, he said I have a "fast brain" (Gross CNS hyperarousal).

Started me on 300 mg Gabapentin at bedtime.  Noticed a calming, mellowing effect the first day.

Before I could not stop my mind from racing, from obsessing, and would get almost paralyzed to do anything.

I feel so much better, my mind is calm, depression is lifted, and no side effects other than a very, very slight fogginess.

So far, for me - amazing."


"I took this pill for 3 years and in those three years I THOUGHT nothing was wrong but I was really emotional and I got depressed before my periods. I thought I had just changed but as soon as I went off this pill all those things went away. Be highly aware of your emotional state before and during."


"My 9 year old autistic son was prescribed 10mg of this two days ago. I was instructed to give it to him 30 mins before lay down time. My son is super energetic and is constantly and I do mean constantly running back and fourth in our home, it takes 3 hours to wind him down I'm exhausted, his sister is exhausted, and he is exhausted. I see absolutely no difference we are still struggling to sleep. The only thing that has changed is in the mornings it's almost as if he has a hangover from the medicine and can not wake up."


"I was prescribed 300 mg 3 times per day for 7 days. This was the fourth antibiotic I was placed on in two weeks because nothing else was working. It did its job well. The only noticeable side effect was a slight headache on and off. I heeded the warnings on here though. I drank 16 ounces of water each time I took a pill and always at meal time. I did not lay down for at least an hour afterward. I ate one yogurt in the morning and took a probiotic in the evening. Also, I had suspected a sinus infection that had never cleared up for over a year. This medication proved me right because I feel better than ever."


"overall it has been good, I'm on oxycontin 3times a day long lasting, then actiq for breakthru, it works much better than oxycodone and I don't get sick or lupey from it, however I do on occasion need to take 2 lozegers as my doctor refuses to up either my long lasting or the actiq, don't understand as I am on very low doses and have been RESPONSIBLY taking pain meds for more than 7 years now. overall a very good pain med."


"I am going to be as fair as I can be. As we can carefully repeat that not every medicine will work for everyone. But what I can tell you is that this medicine did nothing for me. Instead, it made my anxiety shoot through the roof, to the point where I thought I was being watched and stalked by law enforcements. I was deathly afraid of them taking me away, for what reason, I have no clue. It made me land in the psych ward. I would perspire in generous amounts! I would feel extremely guilty of past wrong doings (even the most minor thing I've done wrong in my life would be the topic of debate in my head). I wish you all a happy healing and good luck on your search. "


"I started Contrave last month. Took one pill and had extreme side effects the first day. I was extremely dizzy, nauseous, tired and had a headache I wasn't able to shake for a few days. I didn't continue taking the pill because I had a busy week with work and was afraid I'd continue feeling like that. I restarted Contrave last Monday and just finished my first full week and am down 4lbs. I had barely any side affects the second time around besides feeling really tired by the middle of the day. It has cut my appetite in half and eliminated a lot of cravings. Hoping for even better results now starting week 2 and pills 2x a day."


"Received a 3 month injection 8/20 for heavy bleeding due to fibroids.  Did not stop bleeding/spotting until middle of October.  Now I need another dose and the price jumped from $10 (promo fee) to $1,100- $3,000.  Needless to say I cannot afford the next round.  Also had a headache for full 3 months.  However, my doctor said it did shrink my fibroid enough to get the ablation I need."


"My doctor recommended this medicine and it works right away no stinging or burning I suffered from allergies for years and this is the best medicine I've ever used for my eyes"


"Im a ex flooring installer of 17 yrs (11 yrs non-union 6 union yrs) My back is wrecked, I have tears in 2 of my discs at L3/L4 and L4/L5 locations. I have no cartilage left anywhere in my lower back. My PCP put me thru the tests multiple MRI's/CT's injections, lots of predisone and then finally Norco. It took me a few days of being on Hydrocodone before the relief started, but relief it was! I gained much of my functionality back. I was moved up to the higher doses and then on to OxycontinER. Oxycontin had less side effects, and in general felt less wasted.

Im now on 60mg x3 daily with 20mg IR 3x daily. Its been very helpful in my life."


"I got pretty bad mood swings/anxiety with this but worst of all, I got cramps. I had cramps all month long for about 3 months before I switched. It would feel like someone punched me in the uterus and I'd bend over in pain at random times in the day. However, I did experience this with other barr/teva pharmeceutical birth controls. I didn't get pregnant so I suppose it was effective in that sense."


"In my opinion its a weakist. Pain Management drug out there. I would have to take 10 4mg to get the slightest relief  and that's on top of  wearing a 100mcg patch  fentanyl."


"At first I just experienced stomach troubles occasionally with this pill. On the plus side it made my period much lighter but it has been inconsistent. I usually have a 25-day cycle. I have been 10 days late and 5 days early on this pill. Then the 10 pounds came on, and quite quickly. I'm 44 and have been the same weight for 20 years so it was upsetting to have clothes suddenly fit very tightly. I haven't changed my diet or exercise regime so I attribute the gain to this pill. I feel bloated most of the time too. Other than that I didn't experience the other side effects some are experiencing. "


"Been on Paxil for 17 years, started with 10 mg, stayed with that dosage for about 10 years. Loved it in the beginning, slept great and mood improved a bunch.

Eventually I went to 20 mg. It's worked okay over the years. I noticed some improvement with the increase, but never really significant.The transition from 10 to 20 was seamless.

Over the years I have tried to switch to other SSRIs as it seems the Paxil just wasn't doing it anymore. But none have made me sleep better than Paxil, so I always go back.

After a miserable attempt with Celexa, I'm now trying 30 mg of Paxil. I never thought my dose would get so high. I'm on Day 4, and other than a constant headache, I feel no changes. Hoping my mood and outlook improves one of these days."


"This morning at about 1 am I was admitted to ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle."


"I have been on Zovia for more than 5 years, because I have had irregular menses due to a medicine I take for seizures. At first, when I started Zovia, my periods were regular, my skin was clearer, and my hair was long. Only during these last two years have I had at least one month during which my periods were longer than a week. My skin also has been breaking out, and my hair has been breaking off. Now, I'm on my period, and it will be the longest period I have ever had. I have been melancholy, and I have lost my temper at people I love the most, which is not like me. I think my body is tired of Zovia. It is time to switch over to something else."


"I have L5-S1 problems and S1 renervation/denervation causing mild foot drop plus I just had SLAP tear (shoulder) surgery in February of this year.  I've used Tramadol for so many years that I'm pretty much immune to it and I can't sleep if taken past 4PM.  Nucynta acts totally opposite for me. I take it with 75mg of Lyrica and 0.25mg of alprazolam before bed and I'm sleeping better than ever. Nucynta might make you nod.  I'm a hyper person and it puts me down. Enjoy!"


"Excessive Sweat effect us all differently, but thing that stays the same is that everyone with hyperhidrosis usually hates physical activities, social situations, anxiety, and any type of heat that makes us sweat more. Perspiration pretty much controls our lives and forces us to seek other means of hyperhidrosis treatments like the surgery, natural treatments, or a antiperspirant. The problem is that there is so many products and treatments for excessive sweating that its hard to figured out the right one for me. I liked Certain Dri because it gives me many types of products to choose from. It also give me 72 hours of protection with only one application. Make sure that you start with the lowest percentage of aluminium and move up from there"


"I've taken testosterone in various different forms since I was 18, and the worst form was the implants as my body rejected them, twice, so I gave up on that method.

Recently the manufacturers of Andriol have advised production of Andriol was going to be delayed and New Zealand won't be restocked until September 2016.  Not wishing to go back to injections I determined to trial Androderm patch, and I wish I'd done it years ago.   My skin has no reaction to this patch.  It delivers a good level of testosterone based on how I feel, I've not had any blood tests to back that opinion up.

However; on Andriol I don't experience morning erections very often, but with the patch I do, regularly. Shaving has also gone back to normal."


"My neurolgist just discovered I had seizures about a month ago and it has been constant trial and error finding a medication that will work. I was taking 600mg of Tegretol for the last week and I developed a awful red rash and itching all over. My doctor has changed me to dilantin today and I hope I do better on that. Keppra was the first drug and that didn't help."


"My experience with abreva was quite upsetting. I had a light coldsore breakout and used abreva on the first day. Three days later, not much difference at all. I even bought two tubes $44..wow  Control this the proper way and have valtrex on hand."


"My doctor prescribed me doxy yesterday. I was prescribed it because no topical a were working on my moderate acne. No matter what I did the acne kept coming back! These past two months have been the worst of my acne, and I finally decided to get an oral antibiotic. It was this or accutane, and I wasn't about to go down that crazy accutane path. So I got this and heard some great stuff about it! Lots of people saying there skin cleared up in about a month and that they saw results in the first week. Some people say that they got an initial breakout from it... That's not true. This is an antibiotic to treat pneumonia, maleria, acne etc. if it caused a IB than everyone would breakout on it. I'm hoping I'm right! Wish me luck :)"


"I am 20 years old and I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for about a year and 2 months now. It was my first time on birth control and it has been pretty good for me. I never really got cramps, but when I started taking the pills I started having light cramping before and after my monthly cycle.. but nothing too serious. Overall, I feel like Tri-Sprintec has been pretty awesome! I keep my alarm on my phone, and I'm fine. I do feel like maybe being on the pill is slowing down my weight loss but it's okay. I'm not pregnant, so I don't mind. "


"I started taking Janumet after open heart surgery I October 2008 and it is wonderful my A1C is 5.7 has never been over 6 since starting Janumet 50/1000. My daughter is diabetic also her doctor had her on just meteor, I talked with them and explained how Janumet worked for me. They put her on it and she has been fine since. I love this medicine."


"I found this pill at the start to be amazing and fit me to the best. But later discovered it is not for me.. I'm now switching pills to see if I can bring back my old self. I have taken YAZ for 14 months and am now taking my month which will make it 15 months. To say I'm tired is not the word and shifting weight is near impossible. I have exercised and dieted with nothing more than a pound gained or the scale not moving. I also have in between bleeding. After taking the 15th day  I am guaranteed brown discharge and then some spotting, which I shouldn't be getting. My period now as been the worse I have ever gotten in a long time."


"I'm on my fifth day, 5mg. Side affects too unbearable to try and continue to see if the affects subside. Unbearable nausea, diarrhea makes it impossible to leave the house. I was hopeful this medication would be beneficial I've tried so many without success."


"I started using adapalene gel a week ago and for the first few days I broke out in loads of white heads! However I continued applying it every night before bed and within days I can already see a huge improvement!"


"The first month I was on the patch, I bled for the entire month and was completely miserable! My second patch also fell off 10 minutes after I put it on so I had to use my third patch and then wear it for 8 days because I had to get my next prescription a week early. The next month, my period was lighter but I got it twice, both shorter than my usual 8 day cycle. This third month, I've had unbelievable cramps that no medicine will relieve and incredible nausea. On the bright side, I'm not pregnant, though I'm not sexual active, and my acne has cleared up a lot. Not sure if it's worth it though."


"After 12 years of taking the pill and 2 children I decided on something long term and my doctor advised this would be the best option. Insertion was painful but considering the alleged results - little or no periods and not having to take the pill every day - it was worth it. Apart from a little bloating which has now calmed down after 4 weeks, there have been no negative side effects. My libido has increased and my orgasms are now so intense (they were fairly strong before the Mirena) that my partner has noticed a huge difference and had I known I would have had it inserted years ago!!."


"Have been taking letrozole] for about 6 months after being on tamoxifen for 2 years.  (I felt great on tamoxifen).  My energy levels have decreased so I have to try and pace myself and give in if I can't do as much as before.  My knees/legs ache and I also seize up a bit if I sit too long.  I feel it's aged me but I am here with my boys and that's all that matters. I have loads of hot flushes but wear layers.  I am trying to stay healthy walking a lot and pilates.  I don't think my body could handle the gym as my bones are thinning due to these drugs. I did become vegan after the initial cancer diagnosis but now have a bit of organic milk in my tea and cheese occasionally.  My hair has not thinned, good luck, lets hope they find a cure soon"


"I've had to try several medications for my migraines and relpax is by far the best one!"


"I've been struggling with insomnia because of shift work disorder.  I started working graveyards in August of 2016. Today is October 31st 2016.  I took the  10mg first to try it out.  It worked ok but I still woke up here and there.  But I liked it.  Last night I tried the 15mg dose and oh my God did I ever have the worst nightmares of my life.  They were so vivid and real.  They scared me awake several times and the dreams did not end in my waking state. I seemed to shift back to sleep without even knowing it or I was still  awake.  I can't tell but the nightmare kick right off where I left them.  I guess I slept but honestly I'm terrified to take them again.  I'm literally shaking after this experience."


"Been on 20mg a day for about 8 months now after trying several that did not agree with me. All seemed to be fine till two days ago, massive break down of suicidal thoughts. Began anti depressants after the deaths of mother and father 3 months apart. I think I was put on medication prematurely and think I was actually just starting the grieving process. After meds I never went through it, suddenly I'm grieving and crying uncontrollably like I just lost them today. I will be weaning myself off the meds slowly."


"I was on it for 3 months when I stopped because it was $368 a month even with my insurance(I have a high deductible plan) after about a month being off I asked my dr for something else. He told me no because it took us so long to find that. He provided me for samples for the next 6 months. It was like a magic pill for me as far as my depression it even helped my anxiety to the point where I wasn't taking Xanax anymore. But it defiantly lowered my sex drive which has almost cost me my marriage. I also gained a total of 25lbs. After being on the medicine for about 6 months it seemed that it just stopped working. The depression is back and one some days worse than before and the anxiety has been so severe I had to go to the ER one night."


"I have been on Adipex for 3 weeks now and the only changes I have noticed in me and my body is that I have horrible cotton mouth and I am extremely constipated. I have maybe lost 1 lb since I started taking this medicine. I am extremely disappointed in this medicine it has done nothing for me."


"I am taking this along with ciprofloxacin. I am experiencing severe bloating and stuffy nose and gaging.  I have taken gas X this morning but am still suffering.  This is the second day on the medicine and it was not as bad on the first day.  I did not sleep at all because of the bloating and pain."


"For years I have had problems with my acne, and hated the products I was given that were so harsh, burned, made my face peel, etc. soolantra with in days cleared my face! it is amazing best thing I have ever used! Highly recommend!"


"Had a rough start but have adjusted well.  Very little appetite & way less snacking.   Absolutely cannot have anything carbonated or I am tossing toenails.  I do miss my Diet Coke but it's a small price.  Down 8 pounds too!"


"Hi All,

After genuinely wanting to lower my Cholesterol from 8, I tried yet again a Statin for the fourth time.  I halved this medication down to 10 mg per day. My GP wanted to increase but knowing ALL statins give me muscle pain, I decided to keep the medication low. I noticed a lot of weight gain, increasing blood pressure and sense of lack energy. I radically altered my diet. Everything including cooking oil, all low fat dairy and extreme LEAN meats. Increased veges and fruit

My BP went from 135/95 to 117/79 within 3 months. My Cholesterol dropped to 6.5. Was it the Pravastatin?. Maybe, VERY LOW dose however. Discontinued USE DUE to onset of worsening shoulder pain, left rib cage floating pain and left neck. Pain was becoming chronic."


"I have used YAZ for a couple of days now...I'm not entirely sure, but I think I have PMDD. I usually have a super heavy periods that lasts 8 days. I did the Sunday starter and I had my period for only 4 days. I don't know how or why, but ever since I took the pill, I feel very happy and confident. I hope YAZ keeps this up in the months I plan to take it."


"Minocycline has been great to me, I had mild hormonal acne, I had it for many years, tried everything, facials, face washes, etc nothing working so I went to my family doctor and he told me try this and bencyclin topical gel to use everyday at night before bed time and both have worked amazing on my skin, I don't have any active zits on my skin, my skin is clear, smooth I feel amazing, I am comfortable to go out without wearing make up which I hated it's amazing, I started taking minocycline in Feb 2016 my dr gave me 1 month to try, I went back and told him I want to take it for a few more months which he said was fine to do so, I was taking 100 MG everyday (1 a day) 3 months now 50 mg (1 for two weeks) then 1 every other day! Good luck!!!"


"Gave me my life back. 150mg"


"I am currently on day 2 of macrobid, 2x daily for 5 days. Pharmacist was sure to emphasize to take macrobid with food to prevent nausea. So far, I have no nausea, but have developed a terrible headache. I must say, that pain of the UTI was gone within two hours of taking my first dose, which is worth it to me. So I'll be sticking this one out and hope the headache doesn't worsen."


"Well, I've been on the 5g daily tube of Testim for a week now, and I'm beginning to wonder when/if I'll see an impact. The Doctor didn't share my T number, except to comment that it was low. The pharmacist didn't have a lot of instruction on how to use it, except to rub it into my forearm...WRONG: Shoulders, according to a DVD mini disk that I found...very helpful.  I'm not sure what the value of washing off the gel or showering after two hours is. I DO smell it initially, and have read all the warnings to keep it off others, women, kids, towels, etc... but why would I want to wash off the medicine?  It may just be my imagination, but I find I am thinking of sex more (fantasizing) but have not touched my wife since starting this yet."


"I have been on subs for 7 years and have been very successful with my family and career! Two weeks ago I decided I don't want to depend on anything but my self, well I thought...... I have been taking just a quarter strip for one year now and If I skip a day I can barely function. Called my doctor and he told me there's no withdraw..... Bullshit!!!!!!! It's been two weeks I haven't takin it and I still can't sleep at night, my back feels like it's on fire, and I just got done  puking my guts out! This has been the hardest thing I have EVER had to overcome! If your  serious about getting clean DO NOT take this for a long period of time! Yes it helps the cravings but not your addiction!"


"Yeah it was hardly getting used down here.  I love it now"


"I've been using this drug for almost eight years and have absolutely no complaints except every year no matter what I do I put on a lot of weight. "


"I just stopped taking this birth control two days ago. I feel like I was going insane. I have done nothing but cry the past 3 days. I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 months and I am absolutely in love with him and this made me feel no emotions. I feel numb and insane. I can cry over everything and at first I didn’t realize why I was feeling this way and then I realized this was the cause. I felt nauseous in the morning the first few days, my skin did clear but I am not sure if it is due to the drug or my acne cream clindamyicin. This birth control should be taken off the shelves it has made me feel absolutely insane. My sex drive has decreased, probably due to my constant sobbing. I felt emotionally detached and numb. DO NOT TAKE."


"Terrible product. I inserted the egg before going into work and had the worst shift of my life. I didn't experience any burning but the itching has been unbearable. Couldn't sleep comfortably. Used a shower head to try to soothe and still no difference. Made my vagina so sore I could barely sit down. Would not recommend this product. A 7 day cream is much more comfortable."


"I've been on doxycycline 3 weeks now, I've had cystic acne for 3 years now I have it under control with benzoyl peroxide.  I still have a few cysts here and there so I decided to try the doxy to get rid of all of it once and for all, I've noticed my overall skin more glowy and healthier looking and I haven't had 1 cyst since getting on it but I have had several small zits in places I never usually get them like my forehead. I think that's the medicine pushing out all the bad stuff hopefully it will be 100% by the 1 month mark when I go back to the derm (I'm also using retin-a topical at night) doxy never effected my stomach or gave me any type of side effect at all."


"Girls!! Let me tell you all that this pill DOES WORK! So if you are reading this worried sick about becoming pregnant? Don't. I repeat Don't! I took it five mins after unprotected sex on July 18 and today I got my period ."


"Savella has changed my life! I'm 23 years old & was diagnosed with Fibro when I was 15 and no one had ever really even heard of the disease at that time. I had extreme pain 24 hours a day. Some days I couldn't walk because of the pain in my hips or lift my arms because of the pain in my shoulders. Savella has helped me to do everyday things again. I still have small pain when it gets cold, but other than that, the pain is pretty much gone. At the beginning, I had small stomach aches, and was slightly constipated, but that has since passed over the 3 months I have been on it. The only side effect I still have is I sweat when I sleep. It's not a lot, I just never used to before. But I will take those small side effects for the comfort I now have!"


"I take metaxalone when I feel the pain coming on. For at least three days then I stop because I have to still take aspirin for other conditions. It alleviates some of the pain."


"I've been on this pill for over a year and it has treated me very well. My once heavy and irregular periods are extremely light now. No side effects at all. It is doing a great job for me so far!"


"My cardiologist started me on this medicine, 60 mg 2 x a day. Everytime I took a dosage, I ended up with a severe pain across my back. When I stopped taking the medication, within 24 hours the pain went away. It reminded me of the same kind of pain one gets with a kidney infection.  So I quit taking the medicine."


"I have been on Beyaz for a year and half and I've loved it! I had moderate acne before taking Beyaz and now I only breakout like once a month (it's usually only 2-3 pimples). My period went from a medium/heavy 7 days to light 3-4 days. I hardly have cramps or bloating. I love it. I sometimes get a little emotional but I contribute that to being 18 years old. The only real negative side effect that I could say that I have about Beyaz is that it's somewhat costly, my insurance doesn't cover it. But since I've loved all that its done for me, I choose to pay it. I would definitely recommend this anyone looking for a new birth control."


"I have been on Nuvaring for 4 months.  My ob/gyn switched me from the patch to Nuvaring because I was getting estrogen-withdrawal migraines when I took the patch off.  I use the ring for 4 weeks, then take it out for 4 days to minimize any headaches.  At first, my headaches got worse -- I was having them when the ring was in and when it was out.  The ring has a lower dose of estrogen than the patch (which is quite high) and my body was going through estrogen withdrawal.  I also had a fair amount of breakthrough bleeding while the ring was in longer periods initially.  However, after about 3 months of erratic headaches, things seem to be settling down. My periods are lighter (or non-existent) and the ring is very easy to use."


"Was prescribed from the doc at the walk-in Ondanstron for severe vomiting due to food poisoning when I was out the day before, it stopped that but long story short I had to be in the hospital for 3 days to monitor & do tests about my heart as they thought I suffered a silent heart attack after only 3 pills, they won't admit to that drug causing some of what I got though & only that I ingested an acute viral infection. Not fun."


"It works very well for me as a rescue medicine. If taken mid panic attack it definitely helps to calm me; however, if I take it before I am going to be in a situation that I know will cause anxiety it doesn't have much of an effect to keep me from having an attack.

It definitely makes me sleepy."


"I have non allergic or vasomotor rhinitis so my nose constantly was running whether I was eating/drinking, exercising, cold weather, etc.  I couldn't go anywhere without Kleenex.  This nasal spray totally cured my runny nose. I'll never go without it.  I don't have to carry Kleenex anymore.  I use the 0.03 prescription and use it less then prescribed. The only down side to this drug is that it dries out my eyes. The first couple of days I thought it dried my nose out too but that went away with use and perhaps using it a little less."


"I was on this method of birth control from age 16-20. I loved it! I never noticed a weight gain, no periods at all for this entire time. In retrospect that probably isn't healthy but at the time it didn't bother me in the slightest. I had pretty intense mood swings, but I was also In a very unstable relationship at the time so I'm not going to pin the mood swings entirely on the depo. I recently switched to Trinessa pills and absolutely hate them, I never realized how happy I was with the depo shot until I started something else. I'm slightly concerned with the long term effects of the shot, but I might end up switching back to it. I know it has a rep for making people gain crazy weight, but it didn't have that effect on me."


"I just started taking Phentermine (30mg capsules) on 10/2/16.

When I woke up and weighed myself on 10/3/16, I had lost 3.6 lbs. in one day!

Today (10/4/16) I lost an additional 1.8 lbs.! So, within two days I have already lost 5.4 lbs.

I have started counting calories and staying under 1800/day. I still eat what I want but I watch the amount I consume. I am a 5"2', 22 yr old with high blood pressure and a fatty liver, starting out at a weight of 183 lbs. The weight loss is hopefully going to help my liver. So far, the improvement is showing! Goal is going to be around 150-160."


"I have been on Sronyx for over four years now. Even from the very beginning I have not experienced any negative side effects with one exception (spotting in between periods has happened three times before, but nothing major). I know birth control affects each woman differently. My personal experience with Sronyx has been a very positive one. I have had no mood swings, no cramps during period, no heavy periods, no problems with weight/acne, and no changes in sex drive. I give it a nine out of ten only because of the occasional spotting in between periods."


"I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for about as long as I can remember (I am 21). Since I was sexually molested 3 years ago, it continued to get worse, anxiety attacks, major depression and horrible insomnia. If I ever did get any sleep, it wasn't until after 5 am, and very minimal regarding hours I would sleep. I was sent to a behavioral hospital after a recent suicide attempt, and they prescribed me Trazodone 100 mg, along with Lexapro 5 mg. Within 30 minutes, I go straight to sleep. I will warn you though, within the first couple weeks, I would wake up groggy and feel confused throughout the day. After that, and the medication set in, I sleep better, feel energized, and I feel better."


"I am taking this medicine for ADD. Very positive, this medication has changed my life. I am much more productive. Only side effects are loss of appetite and increased anxiety."


"I have difficulties using prescription eyedrops because most contain a preservative called benzalkonium chloride that I'm allergic too - my eyes get red, irritated and burn. This eye drop does not have the preservative. It was a life saver for my conjunctivitis! Within 2 days it started to clear up - the drops were easily tolerated."


"I tried Chantix after smoking for 20 years, I did have horrible GI side effects, and vivid weird dreams. I was only able to tolerate for 3 weeks -- BUT, that was all it took to kick my 1 1/2 pack a day habit.  I never obsess about smoking like I did when I tried to quit with patches -- then I was following the guy who did smoke around after he went out for his smoke break.  I don't think about it, crave it, have any negative thoughts when I see someone ELSE smoking.  I love that."


"I was diagnosed as narcoleptic at the age of 50 following my diagnosis of sleep apnea.  I first tried Provigil and it was a game changer.  I had spent the last 30+ years developing my own coping mechanisms to mitigate my EDS.  After 6 weeks on Provigil I experienced progressive allergic reactions to the drug and sadly had to quit taking it.  When I reported this back to my Sleep Doctor, he put me on the time release 20 mg of Adderoll.  Love it!!!! I do get sleepy late afternoon....might need to take a second dose...will discuss with my doctor.

My daughter was diagnosed with severe Narcolepsy and cataplexy about three years ago.  She also had Graves Disease.  She recently had her thyroid removed and just started daytime meds."


"Definitely relieves my headache."


"Mirena has changed my life. Before having it inserted I had extreme pain for 3-4 days a month with my period, so painful I'd have to call in sick to work every month. I wanted to try birth control pills for the pain, but my doctor recommended a non-estrogen method due to my family history of breast cancer. The insertion of Mirena was quite painful for the first 10-15 minutes afterward (though not as bad as my excruciating normal period pain), but then it settled down to mild cramping. As other users have said, the spotting on and off for the first 4-6 months can be annoying. But other than that and some very mild cramping at first, my life has changed. No more period pain, I still can't believe it and am so grateful!"


"I have had the Implanon for almost a year and I love it. I do have random periods and have gone a few months with no period and then have had 4 periods in the last two months, and every once in a while I have spotting, so the bleeding is pretty random. It was important to me to not be on a birth control that makes your bones brittle, so I am extremely happy with the Implanon. I have had no side effects besides the random periods. My sex drive is the exact same, I haven't fluctuated in weight, no mood swings, no change in acne. I am extremely pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone."


"Don't be scared!!

I was so scared about getting a GA for a colonoscopy, specifically propofol, read the standard horror stories.

I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to things like this and my experience was as follows...

Day before moviprep, absolutely fine, it can be drank fine, people seem to get hung up on taste, just drink it, no worse than cheap dilututing juice, I ended up having 4x a and 4 x b sachets for good measure, no pain nausea, you basically just pee from your bum is the only way I can describe it.

On the day, my procedure was 0800, in and prepped by 0830, cannula in wrist good to go in endoscopy suite, seen the propofol, quarter in, half in, gone in five to ten secs, woke up clear headed at 0930, ate, drank slept!"


"Whenever a doctor prescribes me Valium it works like a charm, but I don't have seizures too often. Maybe twice a year."


"I have just completed my first month of Amnesteem (I had moderate acne) and I am extremely happy with the results this far. However, I experienced stomach ache, nausea, constipation, chest pain, head aches, lower back pain, sore throat, dry skin, extremely chapped lips, and fatigue. They all hit me at the beginning of week three. The good news is they all subsided by the end of the week except the constipation."


"I have been using epiduo now for 6 weeks and my skin has never been worse. It is five times worse than it was when I started using epiduo and it keeps getting worse everyday."


"I have I have been taking tri ness for only a couple of days now and my breast are really tender and sore they hurt , sudden movement they hurt . Thinking maybe I should take a pregnancy test or for sure it might just be the pill ."


"I have been on Irbesartan for 8 years and usually have no problems apart from the usual lightheadedness when getting up, I developed a cough 5 years ago which initially got me worried but now it comes and goes. It gets worse on the change of environments - cold-warm and vice versa or when I come in contact with dust, pollen or some perfumes. I get fed up with it but it keeps my Lupus at bay so am happy to put up with it."


"20/day smoker for 32 years. Never thought I would be a non smoker even for a day. Started Champix on 2nd Jan 2017 and set a quit date of 17 Jan 2017 (trying to maximize smoking time of course).

The first day into taking the pills I could feel the difference. By the time I got to 8th and 9th Jan, cigerettes were tasting horrible. I forced myself to the 12th and could not smoke anymore. Smoked my last one at 9.20pm on 12 Jan, woke up the next morning, called my boss and said I wasn't coming in to work.

Battled through two mornings of withdrawal symptoms mainly behavioral / habitual. Only once did I get nauseous and that was when I took Champix without food."


"The insertion isn't at all painful, it's just minorly uncomfortable.  It itched a bit after for the rest of the day, however, that went away after a day.  Otherwise, I've haven't had any of the side effects people have mentioned.

You just have to be aware of what your body is doing.  If it's uncomfortable, you should go to your doctor."


"I am on my second week and I have lost around 2 pounds. When I first take the dose I have really bad indigestion, sour stomach, nausea, stomach cramping and diarrhea. Then after the first initial dose the symptoms calm down and I just have indigestion."


"This is the worse medicine I have ever tried!  It didn't take a week for me to have such a violent reaction I didn't dare try it again. My eyes immediately burned and I couldn't stand any light, plus my eyelids felt like they were stuck with glue and didn't want to work right. I immediately went back to my doctor and listed my complaints. I have been on so many antibiotics and other drugs to try and get rid of the effects of this drug and NOTHING has worked. In addition to all the other drugs, I have been sent to other Ophthamologists and Neurologists! They were all determined that I had Dementia, or a blood clot behind my eye- only the right one went crazy! I have had to wear an eye patch and use moisture drops since the very first day !"


"I was able to withdraw from opiates using Neurontin."


"Asthma, COPD. I love this inhaler. It works well and I use it less often than other inhalers I have used in the past.

I have had asthma for over 20 years. I was using another inhaler when the FDA changed it due to enviromental concerns about the propellents used. The inhaler the pharmacy replaced it with was very "wet" and seemed weak and that it stayed mainly in my mouth. It was actually the pharmacist who suggested Proventil HFA because I mentioned I prefer the "dryer" delivery of albuterol."


"Works great to keep me from being anxious. I take 40 mg daily for last 5 yrs.  The only thing I don't like is the weight gain and I need lots of sleep. My leg also jerks when I sleep.  Until I read the reviews I didn't think about Paxil causing it. It also keeps me from getting really angry easily. If I miss doses my family knows it immediately because I get very emotional, weepy or angry."


"If you want to be chronically lethargic and unable to function in most areas of your life, here's your medication. It is the most draining med I've taken for anxiety. Knocks you out all day long."


"Norco are the best hydrocodone medicine with only 325 mg of acetaminophen. You can worry less about causing long term liver damage."


"Vagifem greatly helps me with my atrophic vagnitis.  I was having extreme burning and pain.  I only wish I did not have to take this the rest of my life like my doctor advised me.  The mediciation sometimes gives me a slight headache."


"This is a good long term drug for the management of chronic pain but its effectiveness fades over time and you have to increase the dose in order to maintain the same effectiveness. "


"I've been diagnosed first as bipolar, then it changed to borderline personality disorder with schizophrenic like symptoms such as a repeating voice telling me that I want to die. I was hurting myself as well. After taking vraylar I'm basically all better. Hurting myself doesn't even cross my mind anymore, and the voice is completely gone. I feel normal. No side effects besides it makes me a little tired. When I go off it, I'm good for about a week, then I start to not feel right anymore. I don't get sick or have withdrawals off it, but I start to feel not right in my skin, and I start to have anxiety and worry a lot. I can't turn off my mind at night sometimes. But then I just have to get back on vraylar and its all good again."


"After being on pain management for 7 years, my brain started telling my body I needed higher and higher doses. I maxed out on Fentanyl and had enough of the merry go round. I had crossed from dependency to addiction. After a lot of research, I felt a life in pain would be better then what I was putting myself through. I walked into a detox hospital and started Suboxone. I was stunned when my pain was under control. With incorporating a recovery program, I have been clean for 3 years and take 16mg of Suboxone. I've tried lowering my dose, but my pain comes screaming back. I feel absolutely normal and praise the manufacturer for such a great remedy to a complex problem. If you are a Veteran, the VA has a great Suboxone program."


"I've been in a trauma back in 1990 a week after I had no clue what was wrong I was guinea pigged with you name in then put on Klonopin 1 mg 9 times a day now was on 4 1 mg cut down to 3. It honesty is the only thing out of everything I've taken that gave me back a normal life it goes straight to my chest and takes ALL my anxiety and panic away. Better than 20 mg Xanax by far because its long lasting. "


"3 days in on 10mg per day, bloodshot, dry and sore eyes, vision problems, dry mouth, severe headaches, nausea, constipation, flu like symptoms, helped with frequency but I'd rather pee every 1/2 hour than feel like this:(("


"This was prescribed to me the same day I was diagnosed with depression to help aid me sleep more. I average 3-4 hours of sleep per night.

The 100mg dose prescribed to me did help give me a relaxation and heavy feeling. However, I still slept just as terribly, and in addition to walking up frequently I was hallucinating even more than I generally did because of my terrible sleep. In the morning I was unable to get out of bed and remained there for an additional 8 hours waking up about every 5 minutes. My body felt extremely heavy and tired and not refreshed in any way.

If a doctor prescribes this to you to help you sleep and you don't have any anxiety, I'd say stay away."


"First i had explanon then they changed it to nexplanon. This is my 3rd time having it in so safe to say i love it. I have 2 periods a year sometimes last 2 weeks sometimes a couple of days.  I do get very light spotting from time to time. I have gained plenty of weight but not in the right places. I do cramp even if i get no cycle but doesn't bother me.  I have never had a scare n i love 2 cycles a year.  Works soon as you put it in. Stops working soon as it is out."


"I have had nothing but excellent results with this medication! Without any side effects! I would definitely recommend Klonopin to/for anybody having anxiety!"


"Two weeks of digestive symptoms, and six weeks of not being able to orgasm, but then this medicine kicked in and I felt almost normal again.  All the side effects went away.  I started at 50 mg and never went up.  My anxiety had settled down to where I could talk myself through it or ignore it. I am so grateful Zoloft was the first medicine I tried, and that it worked so well.

I had a history of migraines, three or four a year, some so severe they lasted for weeks and/or sent me to the ER, and I haven't had a single migraine in the year I've been on Zoloft.  SSRIs are not supposed to prevent migraines, but it sure seems like my issues were related."


"After 3 weeks of excruciating sciatic pain, due to herniated disc at L5-S1, I was prescribed Gabapentin. I was scared about the side effects so I only took a third of my daily dose, alongside naproxen and codeine. I noticed a change in my mood, very tearful and low also. The pain got worse, so I gave in, took the gabapentin as prescribed, continued with codeine and naproxen and then the pain became manageable within 3 weeks. I'm no longer on any drugs now apart from Gabapentin. My mood is better and I am sleeping better. The pain hits me when I walk for 5 minutes, especially going up a hill. Or when I sit/stand for too long. But my quality of life has improved with gabapentin. I am having surgery next week as the disc herniation is large."


"I have been taking Vyvanse 30mg for 2 weeks for adult ADHD. It has been very helpful for me to stay on task at work and get things done that normally I would have a hard time with. I used to get very overwhelmed with what needed to be done and completely shut down, not getting anything done at all! Then beating myself up for being a procrastinator etc. I have not had any issues with insomnia or any other side effects, besides the normal appetite suppression during the day, which as resulted in an 8lb weight loss in 2 weeks. No complaints here as I need to lose about 20. I recommend not drinking more than 1 or 2 cups of coffee while taking this. I did once and was jacked up. Not a good feeling. I highly recommend taking this if you are an attention deficit"


"Great for rescue nebulizer."


"I am on my 5th day of 10 day prescription - taking 500mg in the morning and 500mg before bedtime. The pills are hard to swallow and taste awful so I dip them in honey before taking. It works great. Ceftin is working great. Being a person that has lived with nasty sinus infections most of my life, I never take the same antibotic twice in one year. However, Ceftin is at the top of my list. It cures the infection. Make sure you take a ten day (1000mg daily) course if you have a bad infection. It does make you feel bad - it is hard on your stomach so you must take it with food. Yoghurt or Activa is a must and also make sure you have a bunch of bananas on hand. Good luck."


"I hope this gets posted. Norforms vaginal suppositories have cured my recurrent BV !!! I used them every other day for a month and I finally have my normal vagina back !!!"


"Stupid rash all over to treat mild
UTI symptoms. I'm stopping the medications because this rash is just getting worse."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 3 months. Wonderful medication.  I feel great! The only side effect I have is so much night sweats I have to keep a second pajamas next to my bed because mine gets soaked. I was wondering if this side effect will get better. I am very reluctant to change this medicine because of this effect because other anti-depressants had the same effect and did not work as well."


"I was falling a sleep every time I sat down - even at the computer, rocking a baby, in a car ride. I was trying to lose weight, but gaining instead. Someone would touch me and I would start sweating. I am 58. I have been on Synthroid (not generic) for 6 days now. I too am feeling a whole lot better. I was at 202 lbs 10 days ago. Today I am at 187.6 lbs. I did fall a sleep at the computer again last night, but my energy level is coming back."


"I've been on Nexplanon for 2 years and 1 month. It has worked perfectly on not letting me get pregnant, but I almost don't get my period, and once I thought I had it and it was here for one day. Then the next time it came and lasted 21 days. I really have no complaints with the period thing, but now I always have severe migraines, sudden nausea, breast pain, almost no desire to be intimate and my mood swings are unpredictable and just as bad."


"I took my first dose of Suprep at 6pm as per doctor's orders. Earlier in the day I gave myself a huge enema which really cleaned me out. I followed the experience of others on this website and drank the Suprep cold out of a straw into the back of my mouth while holding my nose. This worked real well and was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I did not vomit and was not nauseous. I did get some minor chills right after drinking all the cool water but they went away shortly, especially after I drank some warm broth. I was not on the toilet nearly as long as I thought I would be. I really think the enema made things easier. Hope my morning dose goes as well. I have to take it at 5am. I really want a burger and fries."


"I've been on Rectiv for 2 weeks alongside an initial 10-day course of Cipro for a fistula. The Rectiv does cause an immediate headache within minutes of use, but after a few days it goes away, or you get used to it.

I did notice relief of pain and swelling for a while until a sudden return of the pain, fistula and swelling! For no apparent reason and after no sudden changes in diet! Seeing my doctor tomorrow to try and determine another angle."


"I was diagnosed with IBS after a long, painful battle with RLQ Abdominal pain. I was prescribed Linzess. Before I took Linzess, I could go to the bathroom every single day, multiple times if I needed to. First day of Linzess - cramps literally DOUBLED my original rating of an 8 on a 1-10 pain scale, 10 being worst pain in life. Was in complete agony until it wore off. Couldn't go to the bathroom at all. Second day of Linzess- cramps literally TRIPLED my pain. I've been in bed crying because I can barely talk because I'm in so much pain and yet, still no bowel motion. Not only is this medication making my pain much worse, it also caused me to become constipated because I wasn't constipated before. I will NOT be using this medication again."


"Very good and effective antibiotic.  No adverse side effects."


"My body had a very bad reaction to this. I only took it for two days and I began to experience severe side effects including: insomnia, extreme depression, anxiety, nausea, irritability and light abdominal pain. I felt like this pill made me into a different person. I switched to a different type of hormonal birth control pill immediately."


"I got mine inserted early January 2016.I've been constantly bleeding for two months since it's now March. I've read it takes about three to four months for you body to get used to it so I'm giving it a chance. The bleeding is extremely light so it's not too much of a pain.Other than the bleeding, I have not gained weight aside from my own doing by eating fast food & not working out. After starting to workout again, the weight is falling off so it's not due to the Nexplanon.I don't break out, get headaches, or mood swings aside from when it's time for my actual period.I've always had a high sex drive so it wasn't affected at all. I'm going to cal my doctor to see if I can take that "combined" pill to help the bleeding! I'd recommend!"


"Flu came out of nowhere on a Saturday. Chills and headache were the worst but also had cough, earache, body aches. Temp was 102. Spent the weekend in bed, not sure I would survive. Went to DR. on Monday and tested positive for flu. Started Tamiflu and a Z-pak. By Tuesday I was feeling much better. Expensive but I do not regret the cost because it worked and I only had to pay copay.  Many years since I had the flu and was much worse than I could imagine. Would pay whole $80 if needed."


"For me it was pretty great. I used it for about 10 months, didn't feel it during sex but my partner did. Side effects I did gain about 15 pounds and my hair would fall out not that much but enough to notice it.
Good thing about it though it cleared up my face I didn't have to take it daily."


"I've been using drysol for over 10 years and it has been a blessing to my life. Like many of you, I suffered from the burning, itchy sensation and dryness as a result of the usage of this product. I was told by my dermatologist to place the drysol solution on my underarm and once it completely dries to then place hydrocortisone LOTION (no prescription required over the counter). As far as the dryness; in the areas where you expierience dryness (i.e hands & feet) place the drysol solution, once it completely dries, place Excipial lotion (no prescription required) over the areas that are dry. This has worked wonders for me and is a MUST try. Hope this helps!"


"I had three kids full term, decided after 14 years from my youngest to have another and at the age of 43 had complications. Cervix was thin and had to have a Cerclage (cervical stitch) due to contractions and length of the cervix at 20 weeks.  Started Makena the week after, made the mistake of reading the posts here and prepared myself for painful injections.  It was quiet the opposite half of the time I didn't feel a thing, and I'm now on my 29 week and going strong."


"First time in a LONG time I have gone to bed without worrying about if I was going to be able to sleep, then I didn't have to lay there trying, it just happened.
I woke up refreshed, which was a surprise because it is normally a 15 minute battle to get up in the morning."
