"I was also switched from Aviane to Orsythia.  I am halfway through month two, and the fatigue, bloating and nausea are so bad I actually thought I was pregnant!  I will be stopping mid-pack as I spent the entire day at work trying to not get sick all over my desk.  I'm also waiting for my doc to write me a new prescription.  "


"I was given this medication in the emergency room for the anxiety I was having. It did nothing for me. I'm bipolar plus I have anxiety. I'm looking for something new. I was on klonopin but was taken off of it because it's highly addictive. I had taken that for 24 years. That helped a lot. I'm disappointed that atarax didn't work."


"On the morning of my second pill of Tamiflu, I went to have my hair done. Hair salon used the same chemicals on me that they have been for over 8 years and had a severe skin reaction with the bleach, due to Tamiflu. I had purple hives all over my face, my lips were red and swollen, my upper torso was covered in a red burning rash and my scalp has burns and sores all over it. I contacted my urgent care facility who administered it to me and they said severe skin reaction is a side symptom. I stopped taking the Tamiflu at their advice. "


"I have been on a lot of them and I'm now on 300 mg Seroquel it is the best , I have not gained weight but I exercise I take it at night. I don't see things, I feel things touching me but I still have one voice and not 4 in my head ."


"I had a bad cold a year or so ago, and my throat was killing me from coughing. My doctor prescribed this stuff and it made everything manageable. I was still sick, don't get me wrong, but I didn't really feel sick. At first I was worried because it made me feel different and weird, but I realized that it was just relaxing me so I could get some rest. It worked great."


"I began taking Contrave near the end of April 2016.  95 days later, I have lost 35 pounds.  That is .368 lb per day!

I've had zero side effects.  All I notice is a drastically decreased appetite.  I am combining some exercise, averaging 10k steps a day according to my fitbit.  I am eating much smaller portions of healthier food than I ate before starting Contrave, which is also helping.

I have a follow up doctors appointment in early August where I'm very confident my doctor will tell me to stop taking cholesterol medication.

I feel great, and am looking better each day.  I hope you have great results like I have if you decide to try.  I will continue for another two or three months, and will then be at my goal of losing 57 lbs"


"For those of you whom the patch does not last the whole 3 days or if your dose doesn't seem constant ~ Try the MYLAN generic brand. It lasts the whole 3 days and I never have any withdrawal symptoms! I take the 75 patch, and it is the ONLY brand that worked for me. I do also take 2 tramadol 50mg every 4 hours also, but this is for the pain from my muscle spasms, which the patch never helps (for me). I also take muscle relaxers for the spasms but I hate to take them because they make me drowsy. I have disc degeneration and nerve damage and the pain wraps around my upper back to my chest area. On my worst days, I wanted to die. Thank God for this Fent Patch! PS- Use rubbing alcohol to clean your arm first; major stickiness help!"


"I'm finishing up my 1st month Of Aviane, and all I have to say is it is great. I've had a little spotting but it's never that much and it never lasts for more than a couple of hours. I haven't gotten any mood swings, no weight gain and my acne has cleared up very quickly. This is definitely the birth control I would like to stay on. Even though everyone's different this pill works great for me."


"Got nexplanon in April 2016. was fine for first 2 months but had my regular periods, didn't think much from it because at least I didn't have to remember to take a pill. The 3rd month came and got my period for 16 days.. and then continuously with 4-7 day breaks. Light periods no cramps (normal for me) but more frequent. I'm in my 4th month now and on my 21st day of my period.. it was light for the first 16 days and now heavier. I get headaches and I am lethargic. called my doctor to get it taken out but the cant get me in until december...that's 3 months away! Not knowing how much longer my period was gonna last (doesn't feel like it's stopping anytime soon) called again and had to beg for sooner appt. I go in in 2 weeks. Don't recommend."


"I have Mirena for over 6.5 years due to my heavy periods because of uterine myomas. I just replaced new one over a year ago. I had natural delivery of 3 kids, so extraction even with hysteroscopy and insertion was a "piece of cake" for me. Did not sense anything. The plus sides are that it does the job and I have no excessive bleeding nor get pregnant or having any physical discomfort at all. However, I have several other side effects. Bad mood, low sex drive, weight gain over 25 kg and never gone down (I got 10 kg in first 3 months after first insertion), insomnia (cannot sleep at all without sleeping pill), my migraine have worsening, all body swelling - particular face and eyes (like I was heavy crying)......"


"This medicine saved my life. I have been on it for at least 10 years. After taking several types of medicines that really didn't work I was put on this and the results for me are wonderful. I am taking Prozac and Zyprexa too. I am not as easily upset and have more control of my emotions. I feel more human."


"I have more energy and want to clean things up that I haven't cleaned in awhile because all I wanted to just sit around and didn't care.I felt better after the second day,Im having a problem with talking bad about some people but I think I have been holding my feelings back for along time,I just  now Im seeing I don't care what they think, which is good for me because I've always been trying to be happy around these people that would make fun of me and talk bad about me behind my back. Since it's family I have to been around them ever now and then put Im able now not letting it matter and being able to let my feelings out. I have to lose weight and its been a week and Im able to control now to think about food before just eating it up and not care."


"I can not tell you how wonderful this medicine has been for me.  I have suffered from IBS for probably 10 years, now I am able to have a normal life , free of spastic bowel movements every time I would eat, never able to sit thru a movie,  NOW I AM FREE"


"I'm pregnant and bought Emetrol for morning sickness. I took one dose and within 2 hours I broke out in a rash on my hands, arms, neck, face and back. I guess I'm allergic to it."


"I am now in my 70's and have suffered restless legs all my adult life. My Doctor referred me to a neurologist 4 years ago who tried me on Ropinirole starting on a low dose of 1mg each night gradually building up to 5mg daily. It took me over a year to get over nausea and adjusting my dosage to get the desired result. I now take a 1mg tablet with each meal and 2 before bed making a total of 5mg daily and I no longer suffer from restless legs, totally gone! I have no side effects at all. "


"This medicine worked great! I could walk, jump, run, and do all the things any other teen could do. The negative parts of this medicine include weight gain, headaches, and other serious things like glaucoma (the reason I had to get off, so please get eye exams when on this). The hardest part is getting off after you've been on it for a while. I flared up to the point where I was back to square 1. Also, never miss a dose. Despite all of that, most people don't have those side effects and it does seem to be effective even in the long run. It's also relatively cheap and definitely worth a try."


"I've had Nexplanon since July 2016. From July to December I was bleeding non stop. The bleeding let up on random days, but continued to have a period. My gyno put me on 1 mg estrogen pills to help me regulate and I stayed regulated until March 2017. Now I'm starting to have the brown discharge/spotting everyday, cramps, tender breasts, etc. Literally have pregnancy symptoms and I'm most definitely not pregnant. Since the Nexplanon was inserted in July I have gained all my pregnancy weight back (35lbs). I'm already on depression medication and since I've had the nexplanon it's like the medication doesn't even work. I'm tired ALL the time and depressed. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. Only reason I gave it a 2 is because I didn't get pregnant."


"I have been on this study for nearly 3 years.  My psoriasis has been a problem since I was young and have dealt with it for 30 years!  I have tried all sort of different drugs over that time and nothing has given even close to the same results as this.  It truly is a miracle.  I take one shot a month and I'm clean and clear of everything!  Just like others have posted it took about 2 weeks to show big improvements and by a month in you wouldn't ever guess I suffer from severe plaque psoriasis.  I thank all the doctors and nurses that have helped me through this process and I'm very happy to see this hit the market!  Hope it works as good for you as it has for me."


"Never understood why ppl start so after36. yrs of being a non smoker I decided to see if it really had some "therapeutic" value. I found it habit forming in the hand to mouth habit and very addictive so after having difficulty quiting I used Chantix 6 weeks as prescibed. had a stressful period a month or so later smoked a few decided oh no not again and took the other two weeks chantix i had left. have had zero desire to smoke since. zero relapse and 100% satisfaction."


"I have taken just about every over the counter sleep aid, and all prescribed ones as well and this works pretty well for me. I have to take the maximum dose of Ambien to even feel drowsy, this is much cheaper (no insurance) and works as well or possibly a little better. DO NOT TAKE ANY MORE THAN RECOMMENDED. "

"I was on it for 7 months and it was my first birth control. I loved it because it cleared up my skin, lighter periods, lasts about 3-4 days which is short for me because I used to get them for a whole week. I used to have terrible cramps but Generess really helped with that. It definitely worked as a birth control. However, I became very depressed, and agitated. I would get mad over little things and I was sad all the time. Severe mood swings. So I stopped taking and now I'm on Sprintec. It's a lot cheaper and I no longer experience mood swings, I'm a lot happier."


"My daughter started weekly Enbrel injections, in combination with Methotrexate injections, about 6 months after she was diagnosed with Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. She continued them for about 3 years. During that time she barely had any side effects from the medication. Pain and redness at the injection site and occasional nausea after the injections for about 24 hours. It did seem to control her flare ups for most of the time. After about 2 1/2 years her arthritis became more aggressive and the medication was not as effective. Her doctor decided to change her medications. But over all, Enbrel was an effective medication for the first years of her arthritis."


"I started using this medication January of this year 2015 and so far I have lost 45 pounds with diet and exercise my A1C was 8.1 in January now it's 5.0 .I'm now reading blood sugars of 80 which is regular. This medication is just great ...I can honestly say it changed my life and made me feel good about myself in over 9 years ...only side effect is dry mouth and thirst but otherwise its just life changing. By the way I take invokamet 150,000 ml twice per day ...I highly recommend ...no regrets just a better life now"


"On lithium 800mg, venlafaxine 300mg, mirtazapine 30mg and still nowhere near normal. Currently being treated for depression but have overwhelming anxiety. Am told that I have bipolar disorder. This episode of depression has been going on for 12 months. I wake up in turmoil and it goes on all day long, day in day out."


"i just started taking this medicine. I am 5"2 and 183 lbs and have too much energy that its making me nervous. I have had a hard time sleeping and have had a lot of cotton mouth. I have to say though it is working. Before I started taking it I would eat everything in sight. Now my mom has to force me to eat. I have had no weight loss because it's only been a few days but I'm praying that it will come off soon."


"Awful stuff. If you have ever suffered with depression do not use this because it will make you very depressed - they don't tell you this. mood swings have been awful from angry to crying to anxious. I'm like a psycho on it. constant headaches, tiredness, stomach cramps, heartburn, feel dizzy and weak, nausea.. and the hunger! Omg the hunger.. I constantly feel like I haven't eaten for a week and even after eating a meal I still have hunger pain. The only good thing it's done for me (except prevent pregnancy) is I am losing weight even though I'm eating more because of the constant hunger. It seems to have made my metabolism go crazy. I've lost 5 pounds in the 4 weeks since I had the injection. Majority of people gain weight though I read."


"I wish I would have received as fast a healing as others had with Rocephin, but it still worked! I had a very severe case of pneumonia and was hospitalized for three   weeks. I was given Rocephin by IV while in the hospital and four weeks at home. Although my illness was stubborn the Rocephin did it's job and now my lung is clear of infection. I am thankful for the doctor that prescribed the medicine and those that make it."


"I have been using the 50 now for 4 months, I do regularly wake up and the bed is soaked in sweat, the patches never work for 3 days and on the 3rd day I am back on my Norco. I have found that if I shower 1-1.5 hours prior to a new patch and hold it in place they stick much better, the pain relief is much better than the Norco but I recently noticed a wheezing cough that is getting worse could be allergies, but wondering if others have had the massive sweats. I still work and sometimes if in a position I know that would be painful without the patch.  "


"I never thought I would take something like this.  About 9 months ago my marriage was rapidly falling apart after over two decades.  My whole life was filled with general social anxiety which I'd more or less learned to tolerate through behavior self-control.  My wife insisted I try therapy, but that was a general waste of valuable time until I brought up the subject of taking medicines (I was getting desperate).  My therapist wend ahead and let me try Lexapro.  It took several weeks for my body to stabilize and get used to the changes (including mental). It's the best decision I've made in my life.  Marriage is better than ever and my anxieties are history."


"I've been taking metformin for years but I'm finding that different generics not only are less affected but give me more acid and G.I. problems. Teva was good but they stop making it.  Sun pharmacuticals/ Cacarowas also good  at contolling BG. WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS but I find the pharmacies are carrying cheaper generics particularly with the Medicare drug plan insurance.  I'm finding that my blood sugar is not as well controlled and I'm having more problems with  nausea and cramping though no diarrhea. I may have to switch  to something else I'll see what the next A1 C is like"


"I've been in chronic pain with chronic fatigue for 30 plus years: fibromyalgia and CFS. This caused many years of depression. Took other SSRI's over the years but was always teetering on the side of depression. Cymbalta did nothing for me except weight gain.  My Dr. gave me a trial pack of Viibryd. When I started the 40 mg, I experienced severe GI upsets....heartburn, growls & grumbling, gas, & nasty taste on my tongue. I also had vividly violent dreams as soon as I fell asleep. I reported these complaints to my Dr. and he lowered my dosage to 20 mg. I still have a little gas and a violent dream every once in a while, but my depression & energy is so much better. I feel like "me" again. I definitely recom-

mend giving Viibryd a try."


"I have been taking it for 5 months (have only been sexually active for the last). The most recent three months, I have always started my bleeding between the 2nd and 3rd week and don't bleed at all on the inactive pills. I have mild cramping and nausea/feelings similar to my menses during the bleeding. I haven't asked my doctor about this yet. Other than that, I have experienced no mood swings, no weight gain, no unpleasant symptoms. My acne cleared up. I do find vaginal dryness to be an issue, but I am not willing to chalk it up to the pill yet since both I and my husband are new at this. Also my breasts are relatively tender. I did think they had grown a bit even before I read all the reviews, but the change is hardly perceptible."


"I started using Differin when I was 12. I was going through puberty and getting the worst acne anyone has ever seen. I saw significant improvements in my skin immediately. On the downside, it dries some parts of my face and has increased oiliness in other parts, so now every morning I wash my face and apply moderate-strength moisturizer. It doesn't prevent blackheads, and I still get some pimples and boils here or there. Now I am 20 and still apply it to my whole face every night."


"Heightened sexual experience and multiple erections. At times orgasm may come faster but recovery is fast and frequent. "


"Condom broke, got plan B over the counter no problem. Took it yesterday and so far I've had none of the symptoms whatsoever. So for all of you girls who are sitting there terrified reading this like I was.. Don't be afraid to take it. I've had NONE of the side effects. And its better to be safe than sorry. You'd rather take it and not need it than to look back in a month while you're staring at your positive pregnancy test and wish you had just taken the stupid thing. Hopefully it works :)"


"I'm going on 8 months now. The birth control is great, the only issue I had was my period. I feel like I've had my period all those months and they last about 2 weeks. I'll get a little break (1 week) and I'll get it again. I did get really bad cramps one month but other than that I haven't had any side effects. I feel like a lot of woman blame birth control for gain weight. But it's all about will power you can't let one thing control your life. People just need to get off their butts and workout. That's how you won't gain weight."


"Wait 6 weeks but it helps before then too. I have been on it at 25 mg a day for a year.  Just recently I have been in a traumatic situation and I ramped up the dosage to 40/50 mg to help. It has been a huge help and I only have taken 2 Ativan during this three week ordeal. I think Buspar for me makes me tired when I am not anxious and is a huge help when I am. It seems to cut the adrenaline levels and that is what works for me without the sexual side effects that SSRIs have."


"I've been taking the 80/25 dose for nearly 3 years and pressure has been steady but boderline high. I rate it highly because of it's ability to keep the pressure steady."


"Prescribed Mirtazapine 18 months for mild depression. I started panicking and depression worsened, I became hyper anxious.I was lucky to get a different Dr when I turned up hysterical at the surgery. He took me off mirtazapine and moved me gradually onto sertraline. Horrific. I couldn't eat or sleep, I paced for hours in circles. For 12 weeks I was a suicide focused unstable shaking retching mess. I lost 2 stone. I was given a preset dose of diazepam and lorazepam at intervals throughout the day. My husband or mother shuttled me backwards and forwards so I was never left alone. Gradually we built up the dosage of sertraline to 200mg and stopped the benzos . I don't feel anxiety or depression, I feel fantastic, confident, energetic, happy"


"My grandmother was suffering from back pain from many years. One of my colleague suggest to take the treatment from Delhi Pain Management Center. After that, we visited over there. The back pain specialist treat her very carefully. Within 10-15 days  my grandmother get rid of pain."


"Amazing medicine. I had migraines for 20 years and they had worsened to twice a week with no relief from Axert, which had worked relatively well in the past.  I tried Topamax and experienced horrible mood swings, anger and hyperactivity.  Went on Amitriptyline and gradually moved up to 50mg as it wasn't fully effective at lower doses.  Once I reached 50mg my migraines went down to twice a month.  Even better, the Axert works much more effectively when I do have a migraine.  I had dry mouth early on but this went away.  The only other side effect is occasional dizziness when I stand up (but this only happens about once a week and clears after a few seconds), which is common on this medicine.  It has totally changed my life."


"I have tried every triptan and Relpax is the only one that works for me!  I am a chronic migraneur so I also take daily preventatives."


"I'm writing this for people who I know are probably trying to find relief in this reviews, and I did the same thing so I'm gonna offer my experience to help them out.  Me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex, I was nervous so she took the Plan B about 26-28 hours and then the terrible waiting began. About day 7 and 8 she started spotting and cramping and then finally, on the 9th day she got her period. So relax, because this pill is very effective."


"In 1995 I had a stent put in. In 2001 I had a small heart attack. I have been on Plavix ever since and my blood pressure is normal and I have all my stents and no more heart problems."


"This medication has been a blessing.  I have fibromyalgia which has caused major depression.  I have taken every kind of medication out there that treats both.  Side effects from other medications was too much.  My doctor prescribed this although it does not treat fibromyalgia pain like most, it has made my mood much better. I feel much more happier and alive. I have only taken this medication for a month. Unlike most depression medication, I felt a huge difference the first day.  Many people talk about the side effects of nausea with this medication... I did not have any. If I did it was not a big enough deal to make me notice. Overall, I think this was the best antidepressant I have ever taken and I have so far had no side effects."


"I've been taking Wellbutrin for about 1 month.  I really want this medication to work but I'm having all side effects.  Started with a bad taste in my mouth and went to headache and really dizzy and nauseous. ( I will go off if this doesn't go away).  Today I'm having some chest pain but it feels a little worse than the anxiety chest pain I was having so I'm not sure what to think of that.  I have been on Prozac and then Celexa for 10 years and I wanted to try this for the less sexual side affects.  That has worked and I feel more sensitive to the things that should make you cry.  I really want this to work but the side effects are hard.  I'll stick with it and hope they go away soon."


"I have only started taking this medication.  I have severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency.  I am having removal of the incompetent veins, but am hoping I can have improvement in my remaining vessel structure with this medication and reduce the current inflammation."


"First and foremost you nee to see a specialist.  Note that with the introduction of outside or additional testosterone your natural production can slow, and or shut down.  This is why you need HCG.  HCG keeps your natural testosterone in production even with the introduction of extra testosterone.  Also a good estrogen blocker pill is recommended to keep test from aromatizing into estrogen.
To sum it up you need all of the following
1. Androgel
2. HCG- keeps natural testosterone producing,
3. Anastrozole Pills-Stops Testosterone from being converted to Estrogen"


"Had a severe reaction to this medication one first dose including waking in the middle of the night dizzy and disoriented, proceeding to vomit repeatedly, numbness in fingertips and gums, severe chills and then soaking in sweat, and difficulty speaking. Took a trip to the ER. I am sure that it works for some people, but the side effects can be very scary.

Make sure someone is aware you took it and keeps an eye on you. It is very unlikely you will have a reaction like I did, but having someone in the know will save you some trouble if you do have a bad reaction."


"I went through 3 treatments with the Pegasys medicines, once with a 3rd drug added - with  no success.  I was diagnosed in 1997. I had no physical effects for most of the that time. The Pegasys (i believe the riboviran was the hard part) really kicked my rear end,  my skin was pale and pasty looking.  I began Havovi March 20. I am now approaching the one month mark. The only side effect, which is minor, is I have been tired a lot. I had been getting that way about 4 months before I started Harvovi. Since then I have been feeling a bit less energetic. But at the same time, my appetite has improved dramatically. I didn't have much of an appetite before the treatment, now my appetite is back to normal."


"Was prescribed this med invokana but scared to take it after reading all the reviews think I'm changing my mind about this medicine!!!!! I've been type 1 for almost 17 years"


"I am only 39 years old, and having to go constantly after drinking water or pepsi.  I feel like I can't go shopping or anywhere without having to worry about it.  I tried 5 different pills and this was by far the best. The only side effect I have is a dry mouth, but it's not that bad.  It comes and goes, and it's not so bothersome.  This is the one I'm on now, and will stay on.  The one thing I don't like, is that you have to take it one hour before breakfast.  Sometimes it's hard for me to wait that long before I can eat - especially if I forget to take my pill, then have to wait even longer to eat."


"My son is 11 and has been taking Metadate CD for 4 years.  He is now taking 30mg in the morning.  He is very thin and has no appetite during the day, but when his appetite comes back at bedtime we always let him eat as much as he wants.  When he doesn't take this medication he says he can't do any of his work at school so we feel it really benefits him.  He still has a lot of trouble with disorganization and being moody and sometimes aggressive, especially in the evenings when he is coming down off the medicine.  He also has some headaches still, but not too much trouble sleeping.  His behavior and ability to finish his school work all depend on whether he has had his medication though."


"I had Versed for a Colonoscopy ~14 years ago.  I was not told in advance I would be "put out" and my memory be erased.  After been hooked up to the IV, for pain management, the nurse said "you don't want to remember this anyway."  I went out as the procedure started and woke up in recovery.  I went home and shook for 4 hours.  For the next 10 years or so my short-term memory was impaired. I attended a service school thereafter and had a lot of trouble remembering items for tests.  I normally do very well . I have reoccurring nightmares of the procedure (PTSD?).  This is terrible drug, it is immoral to erase one's memory without their full understanding in advance. I bear a lot of animosity towards the clinic.  I will never allow its use again"


"I love this birth control. After reading all of the reviews, I was really scared to go on it, but ever since, I have nothing but good things to say. No weight gain, haven't gotten pregnant, plus my sex drive is through the roof now. The only downside is that I'm way more emotional than I usually am; like crying a lot and getting mad more often at little things. But I've been told that that will improve as time goes on. Plus I get this birth control for free. I would definitely recommend this to people!"


"Not worth it. I went into early labor with my first three pregnancies, which all got stopped with a pill Around 34 weeks. I ended up actually having them at 37 weeks, 37weeks, &36weeks. Now with pregnancy (4th) my doc encouraged me to use the Makena shots. I started them at about 18 weeks, not only are they very expensive but getting them every week was a huge hassle! plus they hurt when getting it injected and the longer I got them they became more painful and itchy and I even got a huge bruise one time. Plus they made me feel off and I felt shaky and and sore. Then to top it all off I still got random contractions and I started to dilate at 30 weeks. So in my book I feel like it was way more stress and hassle to deal with and a ton of$"


"I have been taking Celexa for five months now for anxiety and depression, and it worked for a while. I started on 20 mg, then 40, and now 60. Every increase in dose has helped calm down my anxiety and depression."


"This medication helps with my symptoms and controls some of the voices and the sightings that I experienced throughout my use of this medication."


"My son was DX with ADHD in Kindergarten.  We have tried several different medicines.  Vyvanse has been the best one yet.  He is calmer and more focused in class.  As with the other drugs he does experience side effects: no appetite, a little on the moody side.  Overall this has been the best medicine we have tried to date."


"I took Solodyn for three years. I had been on Accutane the previous year, it cleared up my skin well, but then I started to get blemishes again. The Solodyn worked well, though I still had hormonal acne two weeks every month.  I was happy with the results.  Then, after about a year of being on it, I left for college and started to have very bad stomach issues. Overtime they worsened, but my doctors could not figure out what was wrong. I saw three different specialist, had colonoscopies, endoscopies, scans, tests, labs, etc. but no conclusions could be made. Then, my dermatologist decided to just take me off the solodyn to see if it had an effect. My stomach isn't 100% better, but I can already tell a difference in my health."


"I have been on generic 25mg daily dose for a week now for migraines. Positive is that I finally have a break in the migraine of 8 plus days, no tingling in extremities as others mentioned. No additional mental fog. Cola taste flat and that is a plus to me as I need to drink more water. Negative is the nausea that occurs after I take the pill and it is horrible but I counter it with a suppository of phenegrin(sp). Of course that knocks me out for hours. I was to increase dosage to 50mg but doctor gave okay to wait another week. This is a promising option for me after 16 yrs of suffering. And I have tried numerous meds over that time."


"Accutane was great for me. I had moderate acne and after taking Accutane for only 2 weeks it cleared up my skin. I kept clear all throughout my 5 month treatment and now I've been off of it for almost a month, still clear.  The chapped lips is easily treatable and dry skin just needs a little lotion.  Overall very worth it."


"Been on liptitor for 2 months. Woke up on Monday with problems with my hands, memory loss, mood swings, and loss of thoughts. Doctor told me to discontinue. Hope everyday I get back to normal."


"Started with 1000 mg Metformin ( took one pill 4 times a day!) in summer 2015 - bad, bad diarrhea. Changed to 100 mg /day Januvia  - only had bad diarrhea - Late summer 2016 started in Invokana - Starting in November I've had 3 yeast infections thru Jan 1, 2017. Also very thirsty - no hair loss - yet! - some leg cramping - painful in the calves of my legs - blood sugar control ok - I used to be 5.0 (for 10 years) on insulin. Then Doc said I'm over 65 so my blood sugarts (A1Cs) should be higher so I don't go low - but in all the years I've entertained diabetes (since 1991) I've never gone low - so I don't understand this concern. Am seeing doc on Jan 9 - have to see where it goes from here - everyone is right about the yeast infections "


"I had many obnoxious but small bumps on my forehead this past summer. Along with that, the occasional large zit. I got put on veltin by my dermatologist, and began using it on august 3rd. At first I used it every other night on my whole face except my cheeks, and experienced a bit of dryness around my mouth, and overall redness. That subsided fairly quickly and I began to use it once a day at night, at least a half hour after showering and moisturizing to minimize stinging. Today is september 24, and my skin has been perfectly clear for two weeks! I have adjusted to the dryness, and my skin is very happy!"


"I have been on the combo of Phentermine and Topiramate for a month, I started at 180 lbs. I have lost 11 lbs, so now at 169 lbs....of course was hoping to loose more.  I probably need to exercise more.  I have had no side effects at all! I am watching what I eat and how much, I am drinking a lot of water and probably too much coffee (black) in the mornings, but I always do. I am on 37.5 mg tablet of Phentermine, started on 1/4 tablet...now on 1/2.  I am taking 25 mg. of Topiramate, started on 1 tablet...now I am taking 2. I have no insurance and I have noticed that some have been concerned about cost.  I have 2 scrips, About $20, Google Good RX for a coupon, most pharmacies accept it."


"Severe blood clots in my arms starting week 1 and I know for a fact it is from this pill. I do not recommend this to anyone."


"I have been taking this medication 10 milligram for a year-and-a-half my blood pressure dropped and my severe migraine headaches that I've had since childhood also stopped. No side effects except a little itching every so often"


"I've had implanon since June and it's now February. The first month I had it I didn't have a period, after that I had 2 months of heavy periods lasting about 2 weeks, then I would lightly spot almost every single day without any real periods in between. But for the past 2 months I've had absolutely no bleeding. Which is a blessing and a curse because I've been having sex without condoms and I'm paranoid. But I'm hoping this is normal and isn't because of pregnancy. If I am pregnant I will be making another review Lol. I am 20 & had no real side effects aside from the constant spotting at one point. Doctors said it was because of a thin endometrial lining caused by the bc and if i constantly bleed again they're removing it. But I like it lol"


"I started taking Victoza shots the week before Thanksgiving 2011 because I had been working out with a trainer for months and was getting NO WHERE with the weight loss.  My doctor suggested Victoza to help with weight and blood sugar.  I made it through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years WITHOUT gaining weight! I have lost almost 20 lbs since November - it is January 2012 now.  I have to take the shot at night to reduce the nausea - I sleep through it I guess.  The sudden loss of appetite was strange because I love so many foods, but it has helped me to only eat foods that I really enjoy and smaller amounts of those foods.  This medicine came to me at just the right time in my life."


"I was on this pill for a month and a half over that time I lost what feels like half the thickness of my hair, clumps falling out everyday. I decided to stop the pill to see if it was the true cause and 4 days later my hair stopped falling out. I would not recommend this pill to anyone"


"I read a review that said this stuff was "invented by Lucifer", and it was the most accurate thing ever.

This stuff is NASTY. Do not drink it with a straw. You need to chug as much of it as you can, and then suck on a lemon wedge. I wish I had read the reviews prior to choking down the first bottle, but the lemon was a life saver for the second bottle. Smells okay, tastes like a super salty/sweet grape drink on crack. Worst thing I've ever had to ingest.

As far as the cleaning out process, this stuff is great. I had zero cramps or pain, but that may be because of my vegan diet prior to this procedure. No nausea (except while drinking this), and no vomiting. Bowels emptied and it eventually was only the drink itself leaving my body."


"I have been on the starting dose for 6 days.  Going to 1.2 tomorrow. I have lost 9 pounds which I am sure some of that was initial water weight.  Have not experienced any side effects yet, except a headache the first day. I dose at night based on suggestions of others I read before starting. I agree with many comments that you feel very full so you eat less.  I am doing a diabetic diet, watching my carbs and eating lean meat, fresh fruit and vegetables and smaller amounts of low fat dairy. This drug is a tool and I find it helps me to not over eat or snack. The shots are very easy and you cannot feel them at all.  Just getting started and have a long road ahead as I want to lose 80 pounds.  It will help me stick to it!"


"If you have had shingles you know that the pain doesn't go away after the rash is gone.  I couldn't take it anymore so I  talked to a Neurologist who prescribed Horizant twice a day and in one week the pain was already less severe.  I have been on this medication for 3 months and feel a lot better."


"Love it. My doctor just tried to switch me to Buspar, but I just read all the reviews and found not one good thing. I don't even plan to try it.

I have been taking 1 mg of Ativan as needed for panic attacks for a year and will stick with it."


"I found my experience on Pristiq to be similar to when I was on Effexor XR.  They are very similar medicines.  I switched to Pristiq after I wasn't getting the relief from depression and anxiety anymore on Lexapro and Xanax.  Unfortunately, I've had to discontinue the Pristiq after about 6 months.  It does help with depression but it was making me easily agitated/irritable and I've had considerable weight gain.  I would take it in the morning and often have thoughts of suicide by the time i went to bed.  I have switched back to Lexapro but just added Wellbutrin XL and switched my anxiolytic to longer acting Klonopin.  I've read this is a great combo and hope it works! Good luck everyone."


"Took Free Trial. Unfortunately, I guess I'm one of the rare one's it's not working for. I'm still hungry & craving fried bologna, chocolate, taco's, etc. : (  I'm really not that overweight but, still could lose about 20-lbs. I tried it & I got a slight headache at first & I have to admit I didn't feel like drinking a beer after work which I usually do. It also pepped up my mood, I felt like dying laughing over the craziest things that I thought was funny. As for the decrease in appetite maybe slightly but, I always eat small portions anyways, the bad thing is is that I do it all day long. It seems like it didn't make me eat as much all day though. More power to you guys that it worked for & I'm happy for you! I'm going to try Phentermine."


"You get very itchy and nausea,  don't like it.

All blood pressure medicines have terrible side effects. More research has to be done on these medicines."


"Gives me more energy and less pain."


"After a lot of personal trauma in my family, I developed panic disorder, anxiety and mild depression. I tried all natural options and was so against medication. For 3 months I felt miserable, brain fog, confusion, poor memory, crying daily etc to the point I started feeling suicidal. The doc put me on Lexapro 5mg for 1st week and 10 mg since. I'm on it 7 weeks now. First few weeks were tough going, every side effect going I had. Wrecked in the morning so I take it at night now. I sleep fine, bit teary still but nothing like before. I over think a lot still but I can control it better now. This medication has really helped! I'm hoping to wean off it after 6-8 months. Don't give up."


"I began Tambocor nearly 10 years ago when frequency of episodes increased to weekly. I have had no bouts of tachycardia since."


"Only on Edarbyclor 40/25 for 10 days.  It indeed lowered my blood pressure significantly, average from 150/90 to 115/60.   However side effects include stomach problems and irregular pulse readings."


"Used this for rosacea, which i thought was a shaving rash on my face. It immediately went far more red than before to the point where it was visible to others and on a larger area. I persisted and after a few days it was beginning to clear. The peeling is pretty severe and i seem to be flaking heavily everytime i rub my face. I will persist for another few weeks but it has definatley helped.

Interesting to note that a tub of 15% 30g costs £8 on the NHS or £45 private wheras in the US it seems comparitely extortionate."


"I have had chronic back/abdominal pain for over 8 years. And I go to pain management. The morphine XR  has given me back my life again.  But the morphine definitely helps with my moderate pain. Unfortunately, now with the possible overdose death of Prince, the government will again tighten up restrictions on legally obtaining pain meds. I'm in NY, and we have some of the strictest controlled substance laws in the country.  These were put in place after several high-profile celebrities who obtained these meds illegally, overdosed. It's not fair that the public has to pay the price for the rich and famous' mistakes. Celebrities will always find a way to "get around the laws", while the rest of us pay the price."


"Probably one of (if not the best) pain reliever on the market when used for acute pain. Or when coupled with a long lasting "around the clock" pain reliever it can be used for breakthrough pain."


"It seemed to work at first, and ended up getting a refill and using it for almost a month, but it's been a couple weeks since my refill ran out and I have blood on the toilet paper again... Maybe it's my own fault for not eating enough fiber while I was using Proctofoam, but still it's frustrating."


"rapid developed tolerance (stop working for me after 6 months),,, other SSRI's not working,,, even prozac caused me insomnia and NO sexual drive at all ,,,, preferred amitriptyline as sedating ,less sexual side effects, anti migraine ."


"They have been good and bad for myself, mostly good, I was in a accident the messed up my back and surgery hasn't been an option at this point. I started out probably like everyone taking in way to many vicoden to percocet to oxytocin it got to be a fistful of pills everyday. Made me feel like a junkie. I can honestly say I would probably be dead if weren't for the patches. I change them every 48 hours and I've been on the same dose for about 8 years. My biggest worry/complaint is that I'm physically dependant on them and Vivid dreaming it's kinda freaky and being sleepy sometimes but the pain is tolerable.  I'm on the PAP program (patient assistiance program) for low income so doesn't cost anything.  They are very expensive"


"I chose Mirena because The Pill became too expensive to buy every month.  I was happy to find out my insurance paid for 100% of the costs!  I only cramped for about two weeks after, and those were very mild, but I don't have a history of cramps either.  I do not have a period anymore (which is great for saving $ on tampons!) although I do still have some symptoms of PMS each month.  The only downside I have to say about it is that because Mirena doesn't have the same hormones as The Pill, my acne isn't being regulated like it was before, but it's definitely not unmanageable."


"I have recently gone to a headache specialist after thinking no one is going to help me with my migraines and constant tension headaches. She gave me Zomig and it does really work. The first time I tried it I wasn't 100% sure my headache was a migraine since it felt different then the one I've always experienced. It wasn't throbbing from front to back all on one side but it did really hurt bad all on one side. I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it was a different kind of migraine since I have just weaned off of Excedrin and 2 years of Tramadol use. A couple of days ago I had a bothersome headache that had been off and on in intensity for 2 days then turned into the normal migraine I have been accustomed to and the Zomig took care of it."


"I was on this pill for just three weeks and noticed a major increase in anxiety and depression.  I was miserable until I realized it wss from this pill.  I stopped it immediately and shortly began feeling so much better.  If you have a history of anxiety do not take this pill"


"Will give you extreme anxiety, shortness of breath, insomnia etc etc etc.in the short term. I could not continue with it and I am still getting severe side effects. What on earth is this medication?"


"The jury is still out on Kyleena. Insertion day was 1 week ago. It was horrible!!! I took a Tramadol pain pill 45 min before insertion and I could still feel the pressure. I became nauseated 1 hr after insertion. I spent the next 4 hrs rolling in bed calling on the Lord to stop the pain. I vomited 4 times in a row after emptying everything out of my colon. Then I slept 3 hrs. Oh, I have bled everyday sense insertion!!!!"


"Took one dose and broke out in a rash up left arm, then the same arm became numb and tingly. Got the sweats real bad, had to take Benadryl right away."


"Worst Prep ever!! Terrible chemical, heavy lemon taste. Took the two litres and water as directed. IT DID NOT WORK.. I have used other preps that worked great. Don't waist you time with this one. Went for colonoscopy, and had to be abandoned, moviprep had failed to work and my colon was full of faeces. All that preperation for nothing, i even went on a liquid diet prior and it still failed. Also REAL BAD SIDE EFFECTS. EXTREME PAIN FOR DAYS AFTERWARD AND STOMACH GURLING. Now got to do all over again with different prep."


"I started march 18 slight headache but it sure did curb my appetite.I wasn't hungry but i sure thought n talked about food n soda how I want to indulge but didnt ,couldnt contrave wouldn't let me.Until this evening I was doing well I was on a no carb low fat until I ate a sandwich, feeling guilty. But you know  what I didnt binge I didn't even drink that ice cold pepsi I kind of feel good Maybe my body needed the sandwich .Its way less food I've been eating I do recommend contrave. Week 2 soon I will keep you inform . I also had a gastric bypass and gained 40 lbs back. But now I'm on my way to good health"


"After surgery 6 days ago, I took Percocet and also laid in bed for 3 days without a lot of movement. I believe this is what cause my constipation. I tried ex-lax max strength on day 6 of not going and it only caused pain. My stool seemed to be too big and too hard to pass. I talked to my doctor and was told to try magnesium citrate. The cherry didn't taste bad at all and I was able to drink the entire bottle. 6 hours later and my stool was STILL too hard to pass. I ended up using Fleet Saine enema and that did the trick.

I believe that this product would work for most people and would certainly use it again, but with the amount of blockage I had -  I needed more help!"


"I am a 38 year old female. Before taking atenolol I had high pulse and a fast heart beat (very scary feeling) also heart palpitations. I was a nervous wreck. I would wake in the morning with my heart pounding and out of breath. My doctor started me on atenolol 25mg about 2 weeks ago. I have never felt so normal. I can actually wake in morning and feel good. I am walking every day and on a strict diet with no problem. Thank goodness for atenolol."


"I started this BCP because every month I grew cyst on my ovaries during ovulation which landed me in and out the hospital, I also suffered from moderate to severe acne, this birth control has regulated my periods, prevented the formation of cyst on my ovaries and I haven't had a breakout In weeks..the only down fall about this BCP is my increased appetite, but that's nothing that can't be controlled. My advice for those who seem to eat more while taking ANYYY birth control is to eat cleaner & healthier so your not gaining weight. Simple as that. Also excercise to prevent and blood clots, and keep blood flowing. That is all good luck !"


"I've had multiple Synvisc, cortisone and aerations over the last 5 years. The process is easy and pretty much painless. The results were beneficial, but the pain would always return (usually in 6 month intervals) and get progressively worse in frequnecy and intensity. When the pain got so bad it was difficult to walk, then I would schedule another appointment. A little over 1year and 3 months ago, I decided to start strengthening my leg muscles with weights as apposed to cardio by walking and the elliptical. Do not do the leg extensions as I found out these only make things worse. I do leg presses and reverse leg curls with a compression brace on both knees. Most of the pain is gone (90%) at this time period and is still getting better."


"I've been on this for almost 3 months now, it's the first birth control pill I've taken. My periods are crazy short, only about 3-4 days, and it's very light bleeding. I don't have cramps, but I am VERY moody. I cry and get mad over insignificant things. My breasts have swollen a little bit. It hasn't affected my weight much at all. One thing I don't like is the mint flavor. After two months it gets really annoying and it starts to taste bad. The first day I took it I got nauseous but that was it. I've also experienced an increased sex drive, not decreased."


"This medicine is pretty miraculous as far as my joints are concerned. I'm using much less than the 2gram dose - maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a gram on a joint, tops - and having at least 8 hours pain free. It seems no studies were conducted on it's use on shoulders, but it worked decently enough for mine when I pinched a nerve.

Make sure you read the possible side effects and all the potential negatives, and test on a single area with someone with you for a couple hours just to make sure you're not allergic. It's been problem-free for me, but everyone's body chemistry is different."


"I take baclofen for extreme pain in shoulder and arm due to compressed neck vertebrae. I had tried Flexeril and Robaxin and received no relief.  When I first began taking this I couldn't sleep, had a headache and as I read a review by another person - fell asleep mid sentence. My boss said I was hard to get to understand things but very agreeable. All are getting better. I have very vivid dreams now and wake about every 3 or 4 hours to go to the bathroom - that I was doing prior to the drug. What I call "pee pee pads" are very important but I used them prior to taking Baclofen. Overall, this medicine seems to help most of the time. I take it just before leaving for work just in case I might have trouble driving. Works well."


"What a nightmare. I got melasma with my 3rd pregnancy and tried everything home remedy with no results. I go see a Dr and he recommends TriLuma at $140 a small tube I thought this better work. Within a week I was seen results I was so excited. Continued use for a month and about 80% was gone I was happy. Once I felt it was all gone I stopped using it. Within 2 weeks it came back and with a vengeance! Now I have it in spots I didn't have before and darker. So of course I started back up using it and again it worked. Got off and again it came back. I use a sunscreen that is 80SPF and never do outdoor activities so I know its not me. My Dr told me this cannot be used longterm cause it thins out the skin. Soooo not only a waste of money. I ended up worse save ur money"


"All i have to say is that this stuff works, no doubt. After first using it it took like 2 hours to kick in and i hit the toilet for like 5 min then the next morning booooyyy i let it out like no other. Really recommend it!"


"I've been on two types of birth control. The first type made me sick to my stomach, but Sprintec doesn't. The only time I have been sick was when I forgot a day and took two the next day."


"Horrible! I have been a smoker for 14 years.  I tried chantix and the dreams are so bad I didn't sleep but a hour or so a day for 21 days before going crazy from sleep deprivation. I attempted to harm myself multiple times, lost my job & boyfriend, I had to send my kids off because I feared what I might do. I trusted nobody cause I feared they were all out to get me. I couldn't breathe, my whole left side went numb for a week...this medication ruined my life and I'm still a smoker (which I feel safer doing)"


"I have been clean now for 114 days. Before Suboxone I had given up on everything. Myself, my kids, and my husband. When I first used Suboxone I started with 4mg. I had a horrible reaction to it. Everything was slow motion, I was vomiting, sweating, nodding in and out, aches and pains everywhere, the scariest part was the hard time breathing. Its like I forgot to breath. My clinic doctor had never seen or heard of a reaction like that. I refused to give up though, after 5-7 days I had finally felt like me (before my addiction took over). I have had some side effects. But minor ones. I finally have my family back! "


"In 2013 summertime, I have "Repair of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm" operation.  The 50 mg Metoprolol is one of the main medication that help me in heart rate and hypertension.

The Norvasc and Hydrochorlthadize are other medication that cannot without it .  But the Diovan makes my heart uncomfortable. It took me a year to figured out.//"


"Am taking daily 2.5mg Ramipril capsules, Warfarin (5.5 mg) and Simvastatin (10mg).  During this period of about 1 year, I have suffered increasingly from gastric pains located at the base of the sternum.  The pain comes on at between 3 and 4 am, despite taking Lansoprazole which confers protection for only about  3 hrs.  I suspected the Ramipril as the cause of the acid flush  in the early hrs.  Have tried stopping the Ramipril. Result: gastric pains gone but blood pressure uncomfortably high!  Not even taking Lansoprazole."


"I have been taking this medication for pain in my foot. My Dr. gave it to me for planters faciitis.  I was in such pain that I could barely walk when getting out of bed or standing after sitting for a while.  One pill lasts for 24 hours,  and works great.  I haven't been taking it long, so don't know yet if I will get any side effects, but works good for pain, and I can still function normally."


"Love love love it!! Been using it to nearly 4 years now, no problems what so ever apart from irregular periods maybe consisting for a month or so but other than that child free! Best contraception I've been on!"


"Xiidra helps me but not so much with my dry eyes , it 's expensive I just call Costco to reorder and I need to pay $350 with coupon ! , it's not caovered by my insurance :("


"75 next year and despite gym work, young attitude, good looks and bod (for 74) prostate and ED have been real problems for some time. Tried 5 mgs daily for almost 1 month, and prostate benefits not too impressive. Depending on mood (psychological issue?)  10 to 20 mgs good for ED if not a bit mechanical. May trial again for a while though price here in Oz  round $150 for 4 weeks @ 5mgs a day is no plus!"


"I had Skyla inserted 1 year ago. The first month, my belly was bloated, but it went down after. The insertion did not hurt me at all. I have one child, so I don't know if this is related or not. I like not having to worry about getting pregnant. I forget I have a IUD. My only issue is that I get regular blood spot outside of my cycle and that is not convenient as I basically lost half of my underwear collection, and not cool for my sex life. No one wants to have blood spots coming out of nowhere during sex! So that is really what concerns me the most about it, so I will schedule an appointment with gyno asap to know if it is normal. I did not have any other side effects, so I am happy with it."


"I started at 100mg and am now up to 600m g 3x a day

Had some pain relief at 300mg 3x a day but now pain seems to be increasing. Have a disk fracture at L`.1 and bulging disks at L 2.3. Also rods and screws at L 5-S1  . Had low cortisol due to too many nerve blocks.

Am asking if this is normal that pain increased  at 300 mg. Am concerned about increase. Am hoping from reading other reviews that pain will decrease. Had to use oxycodone 5-10 mg a day which I hate because it makes me sleepy."


"Does not work at all; on the top of all regular symptoms I got the significant side effects of a drug. Going back to Tylenol at least has no problem with side effects, works for pain a little."


"I never have side effects from medicines so I foolishly took Nuvigil without reading the literature. Couldn't figure out where the headaches, fever and general feeling of 'being sick' came from.  Palpitations, the tingling in extremities, feeling as though my mind was always two steps ahead of my reactions...just too much.  I feel fortunate nothing worse happened."


"This stuff is the so BAD! I almost died yesterday!!! If 1 pill made me feel this way, surely taking 4 pills a day will have me 6 feet under ground! Stay away from this trash and try something else!"


"I am 20 and was only diagnosed with ADHD about 6 months ago. I tried Ritalin first and it did nothing for me, but then I was prescribed dexedrine and it has been a life saver. There's definitely some odd but kind of fun side effects for me. I get extremely into whatever I'm doing, which is super helpful for school, but sometimes a bit awkward in social situations because I enjoy conversation a little too much and worry that I annoy people. It makes me really ambitious and I feel the need to learn/accomplish things while I'm on it, but not physical things unfortunately, like working out or cleaning haha. I usually start doing homework, planning things or doing research. It's going to help me succeed in school so much more now."


"Best medicine by far."


"I think buspar is working really well for me.. I also take zoloft and its a great combination so far. I do get a little dizzy but my anxiety was so bad that I'd rather be a little dizzy than anxious.."


"Had no side effects and found it extremely effective--maybe more than Oxycodone.

Is expensive, even with insurance, but worth it in my opinion."


"I have really terrible environmental allergies. My allergist has dubbed me his "most allergic" patient. I take Zyrtec and Singulair in the morning but I'm still itching and sneezing by night time. Atarax relieves my allergies at night like magic. It also helps when I have a bad reaction to my allergy shots or when something I'm extremely allergic to is in season. I also like that it relaxes me and makes me sleep. Definitely a bonus. I can also take them as needed or multiple times per day unlike other allergy medicines."


"I had a life changing event and I noticed that I was not able to "balance" work, home (mom) and other things. I've been on Zoloft for almost 2 yrs. And thank goodness! I don't think I would have handled what I did as well as I did had I not been on it. I don't really notice any side effects for me."


"Have been on Effexor xr 75mg for about 1 year now for anxiety & panic attacks. I had a constant odd pain in my stomach (like butterflys and hunger). I would sweat uncontrollably & get dizzy & faint if I was put in a situation I wasn't comfortable with. I went to a Dr. who diagnosed me with anxiety and put me onto Effexor. The first 3 days were hell, every bad review I read on Google I could relate to, I even ended up going to the ER one night as I felt so nauseous and felt like I was losing control and could not stop freaking out. The Dr told me to stick to it, and promised it would get better. I'm so glad I did. I feel that this medication has saved me. I can almost live a normal life again."


"I had prescribed yasmin to help with cystic acne and hirtuism as I was told I had pcos. It was great at first I lost about 4/5 lbs my skin started to clear (no crazy initial breakout, phew!) Mood improved, sex drive improved, I was travelling in Oz and eating rubbish but I literally started piling on the pounds, I spent most of my time in Oz feeling bloated, heavy and self concious. After that I started to exercise and eat clean for weeks but could not loose a lb. So I quit after 7 months on it. Put on another 5 lbs! After a long 3 months off yasmine and 7 weeks in between periods I started to loose weight! Skin stayed clear with use of epiduo (recommend) 5 months off  and my periods are back to normal and still loosing. Wasn't worth it at all. "


"I purged for 5 months (horrible) before I became a flawless goddess! & what works AMAZING for me is when I wake up wash face & apply a thin layer of clindamycin benzoyl peroxide gel. After I can moisturize,prime & do makeup if I want or just not wear makeup that day it doesn't really matter. Then at night before bed a pea size amount of tretinoin, and then on top of it a thin layer of clindamycin benzoyl peroxide gel again.(if you think the pea size is not enough, it is ! The way to do it is to put the pea size in you finger and then dot it all over your face,like 2,3 dots on forehead 1 on nose 4 on each cheek 3 on chin&on neck, then spread/rub in everywhere) (I was twice a day with Dove bar unscented and use Clinique superdefense spf moisturizer:)"


"I have tried several different kinds of birth control pills. My main concern is heavy, abnormal periods but it is also my preferred method of birth control. Yasmin made me borderline nuts so I expressed that concern with my PCP when trying Aviane. Aviane did not make me as emotional but I felt really unhealthy taking it. I did notice an increased appetite but no significant weight gain. However my ankles got super swollen. The worst part about this pill is the insane acne that I got. I am 30 and have never had any serious skin problems. My skin is so awful that I had to discontinue this pill as of yesterday. I am in sales and my chin is so broken out in huge pimples that it is making it painful for me to talk."


"Took tablet 10hrs after intercourse, and still have fallen pregnant!!!!! Not what we were wanting, I really hope people don't rely on this like we did! First and last time that we'll use this!"


"Started on 50mg then had issues went to 100mg all is fine now. If I didn't have this medicine I'm sure my life would be a shambles now. I have zapping now and then but who cares life is great."


"I used Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about a year and a half. It worked pretty well in that I did not get pregnant and did not experience any harsh side effects. (On previous Birth Controls, I experienced sore and enlarged breasts, extremely decreased sex drive, and difficulty even responding to sexual anything). However, I did have more vaginal fluid than I was comfortable with and the fluid also had a different/weird odor. It helped my skin dramatically for the first couple of months, but after that it only helped some. My period was lighter and shorter on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, so that was a plus! No weight gain, no moodiness. On the whole, I'd say it was a successful birth control experience."


"I started phentermine along side Chromium, Lipo, and B12 on 9/3/15. I also cut out all sugar from my diet. I am 5'2 and weighed 216. As of 9/27/15 I was down to 200lbs. I haven't exercised (unless chasing after a 2 year old counts as exercise). I eat a third of what I used to. The only side effect I have experienced is dry mouth which is easily cured with lots of water!"


"6 foot male 210 pounds three months 180 pounds zero side effects. Great product."


"I always use Tylenol when my kids have a fever, it works great!"


"I have been on Implanon since February 2008.  I must say, I love not having to remember to take the pill, but the downfall of this implant is my weight gain.  The doctor who did the procedure warned me about possible weight gain."


"I had suffered from panic attacks and anxiety since I was 8 years old.  It was managable until this year.  The attacks have been so severe that I cannot drive and was missing work.  I cannot take SSRI's or any medications for that matter.  My DR. prescribed Burspar 5mg twice daily.  That actually was too much for me and I take 2.5mg twice a day and it works wonderful.  I feel the anxiety dwindle away within 1 hour of taking the pill.  I do not take it on a regular basis, only when my anxiety begins to increase.  Buspar levels me to a normal level. There is hope."


"I started Contrave 11/11/2015 so today would be the end of week 9. I have lost 22 pounds. So that is about 2.4 pounds a week. I have also been eating a healthier diet...south beach. I have not felt deprived and have had the energy to exercise regulary. I have added in workouts 4-6 days a week alternating between run/walk intervals 1 min each for 3-5 miles, 45 minute spinning classes at home through an app called Peleton, and Hiit style workouts as well on tapes.
I am impressed with the energy and focus I have been able to be successful sticking with it.
I have not had many side effects....I did try the full dose of 2 in am and 2 in pm at week 4. After a week I was feeling slight chest tightness so backed off to the lesser dose."


"So far no complaints. I just started month 4 of being on this pill. The first month was strange. A lot of breakthrough bleeding but it wasn't terrible. Month two was a lot better. Sex drive is about the same if not BETTER! My periods are so light and almost none existent. I haven't noticed any type of weight gain with this pill. My mood hasn't changed much occasionally I'll be emotional but it happens. Everyone is different and this may not be for everyone. For me this pill works and i love it!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was on Yaz for 4 years, I really liked it. I didn't gain weight, but I did notice my period wouldn't start until right before I would be starting a new pack. I switched to the generic to save money and right away I noticed my period symptoms became much more severe then before. I then switched to Beyaz. I didn't notice it a first but my sex drive was diminishing, I first blamed it on stress but after 6 months I realized that something was really wrong. I went from having a very healthy sex drive to not having one at all, I was also a lot more moody then before. I really don't recommend anyone taking this medication. What's the point of being on birth control if your not going to WANT to have sex."


"Solodyne is pretty quick and effective. No bad side effects!"


"I have had quite remarkable relief of severe bloating and sluggish bowel motility.  This had continued for three full months without relief. I was even begging for surgery to find out what was wrong.  My abdomen was so distended that my lung capacity (per spirometer) was 1/3 to 1/2 of normal, I got winded just climbing stairs at home and I could not sing (I'm a choir director). I could not sit upright in a chair or car and I felt about 10 1/2 months pregnant!
I had been on antibiotics for several weeks before this problem started. Within 3 days of starting prescription strength lactobacillus, I was back to wearing most of my regular clothes, was able to do a full day of errands without stopping, and could sing again and dropped 6.5 pounds."


"This is the VERY best pain medicine I have tried. I had so many issues finding a doc to help with my pain and they never gave enough to totally control the pain so I was constantly going out finding supplements to add to my scripted pain medicines. Ever since methadone I have needed nothing except some morphine for breakthrough pain. "


"I smoked for 10 years and even increased after starting landscaping, being outdoors all day and being able to smoke whenever I want. I got a chest infection and woke up every night unable to breath. I thought the smoking didn't help but God I still loved a smoke. I admit I wasn't even ready to quit but thought I'd give champix a try after I went to the doctor. A few days in and that's where the magic happens. You just smoke less and less and eventually you don't even remember they exist. It really disappoints me when I tell my smoker friends about champix and they say "oh sounds cool" and pretend interested and continue to smoke because they like it too much to give it up. After 1 week you don't miss them. You're a fool not to try champix."


"I was on Tri-Sprintec for a year and a half. It's very effective against pregnancy, I believe it helped with acne. I didn't experience any weight gain, However, I did go through a very traumatic 4 month phase before I stopped taking it. Let's see,  I had anxiety attacks. I've never in life had anxiety attacks, not even anxiety.  I was moody 21 days and happy the 5 days while on my cycle.  I was paranoid, scared, cried a lot and had rage.  I stopped taking tri sprintec, and boom, pregnant with twins.  But ever since I stopped taking tri sprintec, I haven't experienced any of those things yet, and my twins are 2 years old"


"I am genuinely happy with this pill and haven't had any problems with this pill up until now. I started taking this pill because of my excruciating menstrual cramps, excessive bleeding, and acne. I've been on this pill for six months and all of my symptoms decreased.My period has been very regular since I've taken this pill I always know when I'm suppose to start my period. My period has never been late before but I'm currently two weeks late. I've read up about this and it is said that the low estrogen levels in this pill can make you late or even skip periods. Which is the one side effect I do not like because you can't tell if your pill is working or you are pregnant which scares me."


"I had no problem with Nortriptyline.  I had to take it in conjunction with Lithium for depression.  My problem was when I QUIT taking it.  I'm dizzy, sick to my stomach, I have ringing in my ears, I'm irritated all the time and I can't sleep.  Just be prepared in case you stop taking it too."


"I have had the copper coil for just over 3 years now and would certainly never recommend to others!! I've experienced persistent:

- Pelvic pain/cramps even when it's not my time of the month!

- really heavy periods/clots!

- Migraines.

- Skin breakouts.

- Hair loss.

- Depression/anxiety.

The list is endless!! I finally researched the copper iud and found thousands of women if not more with exactly the same symptoms!! I am finally getting mine removed on Wednesday and I cannot wait!!!"


"I was diagnosed with " Bilateral Sensorneural Conductive Hearing Loss" severe nerve damage from the ear to the brain.  It caused me SEVERE Panic Disorder w/Agoraphobia and Major Depressive Disorder.  My brain is sending me mixed signals. We are still working on finding out why, or if, this nerve causes these disorders they started at the same time I started getting these blarring fog horn sounds in my ears 24/7. I took my 0.5 mg xanax about 10 days ago and OMG..for the 1st time in 3 yrs I slept, had no attacks which I had up to 6x a day, no depression, little to no mixed brain signals, no suicidal thoughts, I'm starting to get functional, no crazy thoughts, I even went out of the house and socialized again ! :) I still need to be diagnosed though."


"I am 38. After my total hip replacement, Doc. found sacroiliac joint swollen. I couldn't bend and had a lot of pain. Been in Humira for 2 1/2 years now. If you numb your site with ice before using your Humira pen. 1/2 hour before, is less painful. "


"For ME it was awful.  I was on this pill for 7 days.  I went to the doctor today because my heart was beating so fast on these pills and I was paranoid, anxious, shaking, and very very Bit**y.  I thought I was having a heart attack at work I was crying, it was awful. I went to the doctor and I couldn't get words out.  My pulse was 115 and blood pressure was high (never ever is) it just shot up. The doctor said I was having a panic attack and that it is due to the medication.  She took me off it and for the next 5 days I am on LORAZEPAM 0.5MG (sedative to calm me down - take it at night) and switching me back to sertaline.  This was the worst experience of my life.  I thought I was going to end up in the ER or dead."


"Been on Nexplanon since April 2015. Positives: Don't have to worry about daily or weekly birth control regimens. No pregnancy.
Negatives: Bleeding! Bleeding and more bleeding. My normal cycle not on this drug was at most 5 days. When I first started on nexplanon my cycle was 7-8 days; which wasn't too bad. After 6 months cycle increased to more like 9-10 days and was more unpredictable. Now, almost a year in, I've been on my cycle for 15 days. I'm so over it! I really tried to give this drug a chance to adjust but it seems to just get worse as time goes on. Made an appointment for removal. Good luck! Lol."


"I took lithium twice by with no other drugs. First for a few days. I stopped because it made me feel flat & it more difficult to think of the right word to use. My vocabulary & ability to articulate were noticeably worse. I took it again at my doctor's advice- 300 mg for one week, then switched to 600 mg. The day I took the 600 mg I was so angry that I wouldn't leave the house because I thought I'd pick a physical fight (something I've never done). I stopped taking it altogether, and now my memory is much worse than it's ever been (memory has always been a severe problem for me to begin with). I generally have a harder time getting anything done, speak a lot more awkwardly now, and have been pretty upset that Lithium made my life worse."


"This was given for my lyme disease. Second week after my second injectable dose 9 hours later start with a hip pain by the end of the day  the pain spread through out my both hips and lower back to the point I can not even get off my bed.  Took strong dose of pain meds no reliave of the pain"


"I have been on Depakote ER for about a year. I have had JME since I was 14 and tried Lamictal from about age 25-30 and had seizures every 6 months.  Since I've been on Depakote ER, I have not had any seizures, jerks, or funny feelings in my head!  It's  been a year, but the only bad thing is I've gained 20 pounds."


"I suspect causation between Micardis (40mg) and BPPV. I've missed my dose a couple of times, blood pressure rocked up to 140/90's and I felt great the following day. Normally BP is 120/80's on 40mg but I feel like crap with a general level of dizzyness through the day. Sparadoic episodes but this BPPV episode has lasted 6 months now.  Worse in morning and means lying down/standing up takes special headmoves to minimise dizzy episode."


"On January 21, the condom broke. My boyfriend purchased it the next day. I took the pill about 18 hours later. Immediately I started to experience side effects like headaches, cramps & body aches. After a week my side effects was light cramping & mild headaches. I got my period today ! My period usually comes round the first week of every month; So im a couple days late. I never been so happy to be in so much pain. I normally have bad cramps so this is nothing new. Be patient & dont stress."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on medicines including Pradaxa. I have never been on any other blood thinning medicines, so this is all new to me.

Almost immediately I noticed a severe increase in gas, followed a week later by loose bowels. Yesterday I developed heartburn that will not go away even with Tums and Zantac.

I appreciate the suggestions about taking with food and lots of water. I take 150 mg twice a day. I was trying to take 12 hours apart, at about 8 am and 8 pm, but it looks like taking at breakfast and dinner is better.

I have had an ulcer, hiatal hernia and GERD about 10 years ago that was finally improved by surgery. Sure hate to go back to heartburn again!"


"It always works!"


"I've been on this medication for Bipolar I for over a year now. Recently I'm experiencing a bit of bipolar depression with irritability and anxiety, so my doctor has increased the dosage from 40 mg/day to 80, but I'm titrating up at 60 mg this week. I also take Lamotrigine at 75-100 mg/day and I already notice a positive difference, so I think it's fast-acting, which I initially noticed when I was first put on over a year ago (I posted a review here in June 2012). Some minor side effects for me are increased tension in the jaw area."


"My partner has suffered from severe facial eczema for the past few years, far worse than she had ever experienced before. We tried everything, from dietary interventions to Elidel to various steroids. We were truly growing quite desperate, as the eczema was so severe it was limiting my partner's ability to go out, work, or even smile and laugh. EpiCeram has completely turned her condition around, to the point where the facial eczema is almost totally eliminated. The results were FAR beyond what I even dared hope for."


"I switched to Trinessa 28's last week of April and I am very content! After the birth of my child in December I tried the shot and it was the worst ever...I lost tons of hair and constantly bled almost the whole 3 months, mood swings, and the list goes on...Well first week of Trinessa I did get some headaches and a bit of nausea but nothing I couldn't tolerate. I do take them at night before bed, which in my opinion is the best time! Within the first month my mood swings were gone, noticed hair growth and reduction in hair loss, first period was only 4 days and not too heavy but maybe 2nd day only. For me Trinessa is wonderful and has worked wonders! And also no copay covered at 100% with my insurance!"


"This is the best thing for panic attacks ever! When I feel one coming on I can take 0.50-0.75mg and let it melt under my tongue and it works very fast. It has saved me from going to the ER so many times. My hat goes off to Xanax!"


"Had Colonoscopy yesterday with Propofol.   Heard about Versed & asked about it.  Surgery Ctr.  said they had it, but Propofol was preferred because of the better recovery result.  Went out like a light.  Woke up in recovery bay & felt pretty good after a few minutes.  Got home, started feeling dopey again, couldn't concentrate. No appetite. Forced myself to eat, but didn't help.  After 2 hrs, laid down and was out for 5 hrs.  Got up, had juice and jello.  After 2 hrs. had to go back to bed.  I'm better today, still a bit weak.  My sister had same procedure recently.  She was knocked out & came through fine. She may have had same drug with better results.  I'm on Obamacare & that's more bad than good.  Maybe Versed not allowed, who knows."


"Before getting pregnant with my daughter, I had heavy somewhat regular periods that would last 7 days or more. After giving birth, I chose the patch at my 6 week checkup. I was on the patch for 7 months and it worked just fine but I wanted something I didn't have to keep taking. So, I decided on nexplanon and the last 10 months I've maybe had 2 weeks without my period. Very effective since I can't have sex. I just got it taken out and got the mirena instead and I'm hoping that works better for me!"


"I have had the shot several times in the the past but that has been over three years ago and I did have some side effects. The worst was vomiting in the morning but it lasted about an hour after I woke up. It lasted for 2 weeks everytime I got the shot. It has been 3 years and I started the shot again. I got the shot 3 days ago and I have one swollen lymph node under my neck and my stomach is messed up with craps but it cramps I have never felt. They hurt but only in the morning and I don't get sick. They are not that bad. I know one thing that sucked is my anxiety has increased which is a problem for me and kind of scary. The shot is a good idea even with the side effects, its 1000 times better than being dope sick."


"I've been on Aviane for 3 months now, and I must say I have absolutely 'No' complaints, no weight gain, no mood swings, no dryness, and on the positive side, my moderate acne flares have greatly reduced, my face is less oily, and I have just about 2 new breakouts when on the placebo pills, unlike having a full blown breakout during my periods, I am very happy with this pill."


"Had Implanon for 3 years with very heavy, long periods, switched to Nexplanon immediately afterewards  (no break between b.c.)

pros: did not get pregnant, didn't have to remember to take anything. No periods for 3 years.

Cons: maybe depression, definitely caused nipple discharge (aka lactating), mood swings, hormone imbalance year 2 of implant (no sex in 6 months leading up to symptom change). 5 months after removal, still have nipped discharge and no periods, but depression/mood swings significantly lessened. Dr informed me could be up to 6 months to get back to "normal""


"This stuff is useless, in fact I am coughing more and worse after taking it.  Thank goodness I only bought a small bottle, since it is kind of expensive for something that does not work at all.  Will never take this garbage again."


"I was on quitapex for about 9months

Taking every night before sleep 25mg only

It was an amazing medication

Till my blood pressure has fallen to about 90/60

And sometimes 80/50

So I have stopped taking it

Now I have to deal with my anxiety only taking nodeprine and exercising a lot

Trying to avoid putting myself through the burnout area by taking vacation every now and then ."


"Of all the SSRI's, Lexapro works best for my OCD at 30mg/day.  I take Wellbutrin SR 100mg 3x day to combat high-dose sexual dysfunction.  70% reduction in symptoms."


"Lithium is great I take 900 mg. After awhile the side effects go away. It was the most effective out of all of my other medicines. I also take Seroquel and Lamictal."


"Started on this med with phenob at age 12 due to grandmal seizure   Seizures stopped at age 16 but I am now 70 with no seizures since. total of 58 years. Its 100 three times a day with phonobarb 30 three times a day.  Had  sore gums that rotted my teeth. Low b12 levels and low iron over time.  I take B12 monthly, folic acid 5mg every second day. Small price to pay for no seizures for 58 years."


"Ask you doctor to prescribe Marinol(dronainol) to cure you of your MAJOR Nausea problem.  If you are taking large doses of medicines for CANCER OR HIV/AIDS then you probably get nauseous A LOT! We all know that its hard to get anything done when you are nauseated all day. This medicine is a game changer and a life saver. I would go as far as to say that this is a miracle. I'm still in shock how well it is helping my nausea since nothing I ever took before helped as much as this medicine!"


"Tramadol is by far the best pain medication I have had yet. The only down fall for me is it causes extreme fatigue/mood swings the next day. It is a fast acting drug. I could definitely tell a difference in my pain - it was the mildest it has been in months."


"I am 24 years old and have been taking CamreseLo for approximately 2 and a half years.  I love this pill;  I have had no side effects.

I have been on a birth control continuously since I was 12 because of an extremely heavy and irregular menstruation.

After being on CamreseLo for a year, my flow became very minimal. Now after over 2 years, my period only lasts 1 day.  It's amazing considering I have very minimal spotting in between the 3 months of active pills.

It has also reduced my cramps; which used to be so bad I couldn't move."


"Best pill EVER for fighting Allergies! Results have been Phenomenal!!!!"


"Been taking it for about one month. Feel like a new person."


"I'm 18 and have been prone to getting yeast infections ever since I hit puberty. I've never used the over the counter creams until today. I've always used oral prescriptions. I tried getting an appointment with the OB GYN but they were booked. So I decided to give the Monistat 7 day treatment a shot after searching for the best over the counter treatments. I didn't even put the applicator as far in as it could go and only used half a dosage and my vagina is on fire. It feels like Satan's playground. I cried for 45 minutes straight because of this stuff. I was contemplating on waking my mom up to take me to the ER. I ran a bath and quickly washed out as much as I could. Now the burning is in waves and a bit more tolerable but still awful."


"This medication did nothing for my pain. Had to stop taking Ultram after 5 days due to extreme agitation."


"I have been taking Zoloft for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and Obsessive Compulsive disorder. It has been seven months since I began taking it. I have been taking 50mg on weekdays, as it does not seem to change the effect of the medication despite what my psychiatrist has said. I feel as if it does significantly improves my anxiety, although I do have bad days. It has not seemed to significantly improve anything else; my Depression and OCD may have actually gotten worse."


"I take 5mg at night to sleep, without them I have to take any other night time medicine but these don't work near as well! They do not effect me in the morning, and my fiancé knows not to wake me until at least 7 hours have passed. I have had no troubles, though he did say I've been laughing and talking in my sleep!"


"I love how fast I get relief with this and how the melting form ones work when I'm nauseated."


"Started taking losartan on Saturday January 23rd, 2016. After my 3rd daily dose of 50 milligram, I developed a dry cough that lasted approximately 6 hours, and I was coughing about every 3 minutes. I coughed so hard that eventually had blood spotting in my spit. I developed a massive headache and I was vomiting. Over the night I developed a high temperature of approximately 102.2 degrees. I went to Urgent Care for some medical attention and told of all the side effects I was having which were as follows; heart rate was increased from approximately 78 beats per minute - 114 beats per minute. Had increased blood pressure of 160 / 104. Had pain in jaw  and right bicep. I was urinating approximately every 20 minutes. And more horror!"


"Cipro has been a great help dealing with my urinary tract infections. Normally after the first pill I feel tremendous relief. I am fortunate that I do not experience any side effects."


"This pill is the only sleep medicine that hasn't made me hallucinate (like Ambien and Sonata), made me gain weight (like so many mood stabilizers) or made me sleep too much. In fact, I haven't had really any side effects whatsoever.

It takes 3 weeks to get working, but after that, my sleep became regular, and I get about 6-8 hours a night. Perfect!"


"It is AMAZING.  My cycle used to be very irregular and heavy and I used to get very sick where I could not even move! This pill improved my symptoms within the first month the change was remarkable! I love it."


"I started Saxenda end of June of 2017. My doctor started me at 0.6mg and every week I went up until I finally reached 3.0mg. I still have episodes of extreme tiredness and lethargy, not to mention the nausea. But, it is not consistent, and therefore bearable. I have lost 25 pounds thus far with no exercise; I have plateaued now, but my doctor ensured me if I introduce exercise I will lost more.
The weird thing for me is that I have NO appetite or desire to eat animal protein - most days I have to force myself."


"I found this drug had a very good effect. The only let down is it makes you put on weight."


"Horrible. I'm 5 feet and 2 inches and I should be around 108 pounds. Within 3 weeks this pill has made me EXTREMELY hungry like I've never been before. Also gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks! I would not recommend:("


"Really work for me, no side effect"


"After years of treatments for acne and my only option before mass treatment (Accutane), I tried TriNessa... it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even if it took three months to notice improvement and first became worse than better, was worth it, 100%. It took almost 6 months to be almost clear. Be patient. Is worth it."


"I always had good skin growing up, but began developing cystic acne when I was 20. My doctor gave me an 80mg Solodyn prescription, and I took the medicine for 6 months. The Solodyn worked a bit, but my acne continued to mark my face. I had a lowered confidence and didn't even like looking at myself in the mirror. Then, I started taking 2 x 40mg Accutane a day for 6 months. Months 1-2 really didn't show any change. However, by the end of month four, I was almost completely eradicated of my acne. By the end of Month 6, my skin was completely clear. I have now been off the medicine for a month and haven't felt so good about myself since the acne began a year and a half ago. If you are considering Accutane, do it. Benefits outweigh side effects."


"After abusing opiates/heroin for 8yrs I got on Suboxone. Since April of 2013 I've tapered from 16mg/day to 1mg a day. I've not relapsed. I've gotten my kids back from state custody. I've gotten a promotion at my job. Mostly, I've got my life back."


"I'm definitely losing weight extremely fast with this medication. I took 25 mg at night the first 30 days and I'm now on the start of the third month at 50 mg at night, also, 37.5 mg Adipex every morning. With Topamax I CANNOT eat. Everything I eat makes me sick. It definitely changes you're sense of taste and smell which has pretty much stopped my smoking. So, there are huge benefits just the side effects can be a little unbearable at times. I've lost 28.7 pounds in 2 months"


"Great on "school sores""


"Not the best I don't even know why I stayed on it as long as I did, gave me a UTI the second month and never had one before that lost weight the only good thing was I didn't get pregnant.  It kept giving me UTI's though so I had to stop using"


"Was on  this medication, 3 X a day for 7 days,  for a recurring bladder  infection.  Burning and frequent urination cleared up by the 2nd day. No side effects. However, within 10 days after the last dose the full blown symptoms came back."


"I have pretty bad psoriaisis all over my body since I was 5. I am in my 40's now. This stuff was amzing. It cleared up all my patches within a week and it took quite a while for them to start coming back after I stopped using it.

Sadly, now I am out and unfortunately, you need a prescrip for this."


"I'm male, 52, and a diabetic on insulin. I developed severe diabetic-onset peripheral neuropathy six years ago and was prescribed Neurontin at that time. I took it for a couple of weeks, and it did not work well for me. I felt nauseous, and my thinking was not clear. An ER doctor prescribed Cymbalta, and that medicine has been a God send. I do have to live with the side effects of sometimes having trouble sleeping and sometimes feeling wonky-headed, but those are easy trade-offs for the complete pain relief that I feel."


"This medication is a God send. The only thing Is the price. I have to do prior authorizations at work for this medication and I know how much it cost for a self pay individual."


"Had ache in back/side under rib, remembered that it was symptom of kidney infection, left urine sample at doctor's office immediately, test was positive for infection, doctor (who knows me well) called in this antibiotic and I began making immediate progress within 24 hours.  I was careful to take the full course of the medicine without stopping."


"I'm 22, not sexually active and taking the pill as a form of prevention against ovarian and uteran cancers. I've been on this pill for almost two full cycles. Before the pill, I rarely if ever had acne and prided myself on a clear complexion. Now, my face is a war zone, I have awful acne and acne scaring. It has been emotionally devastating and my confidence has dwindled.  Everyone in my life has noticed the drastic change. I feel embarrassed.  My dermatologist said it may take 3 or 4 months for my system to regulate. Overall, I haven't had any other side effects, apart from weight gain."


"I am 22 and underwent Oophorectomy surgery following 2 massive ovarian cysts on each ovary. Right out of surgery I was prescribed Prempro and had to take it. I experienced hot flashes for the first few days. The Dr told me that if I felt bloated I can skip a week and I will have a small period, which I have done. I had cramps and sporadic bleeding, but the bloating never went away. I have gained a lot of weight that has been really hard to lose and I have been on this medicine for only 3 months. I also have really bad acne all over my face that I haven't had since Junior High. Once I go back to the Drs I will be asking to try another Hormone Replacement Therapy."


"Caused tiredness and constipation."


"Side effects aren't worth it for me."


"I have been on and off Percocet for the last 10 years since diagnosed with Endometriosis. It's the only thing that helps when the pain gets really bad. I have tried many other NSAIDs to no avail. I only take 1/2 when absolutely required. After surgery 1/2 every 6 hours. Be sure to take them with food to avoid feeling ill or light headed and out of control. I didn't like the idea of taking a narcotic, but they work, but you do need to respect them. They do have a time and place for pain."


"I have had no problems with it and when I go off it I get a Crohn's relapse.  It's worth the expense to have my health."


"I got my first Depo shot November 19th. Since then I only had minor spotting and cramps, no mood swings or major weight gain if anything my weight is far more stable and satisfactory. Although on the 2nd of January I began my normal period again and hoping it will end on the 6th. Definitely would recommend."


"I have been on Gianvi for four months. I've been on birth control since I was fourteen (I am now 19) for irregular periods and with Gianvi, I didn't have any periods. I was okay for the first couple of months, but now, at the fourth month, I have no periods, migraines all day, everyday, spotting instead of a period, sharp cramps during the time when my period was supposed to come, I am unable to wear my contacts now (they hurt SO bad and end up giving me a headache if I force myself to wear them [even with BRAND NEW pairs]. It is pretty effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy because I did miss a few pills, but in the the past, with other brands, I'd miss pills and NEVER have any side effects. Now on NuvaRing."


"I have been on Contrave for two weeks today. Starting weight was 256, I am down 7 pounds and weighed in at 249 this morning. I have had the side effects, but so far, they have all been tolerable. The only thing I have changed so far is my calorie intake. I try to stay around 1600 calories a day."


"My daughter  was a high school XC & Track athlete.  She was a class champion in both XC & Track & was recruited to run on college.  My daughter was prescribed this pill in February 2017 for acne & to help control her period.  At. First it was ok.  The acne cleared up & her period was less severe.   She had an amazing Indoor track season qualifying for National competition.  Then In April she began to experience muscle fatigue & weight gain.  Also mood swings.  Her race times dropped drastically!  We went to the DR ran blood test etc.  Everything came back fine.  I started to look at the side effects of this pill and began to look into the effect of the pill on female athletes.  Not good!
 Athletes do not take Tri-Sprintec!!!!!!!"


"This is what my doctor gave me. It was better then just going with out the medicine - it is a shot given by your doctor or nurse once a month below your belly button, it hurt but only for a second and it did leave little dot scars from where the needle went. I had treatment for 6 months and didn't have any signs of endometriosis  but the down fall is that you do gain weight from the medicine. When I started I gained almost 20 pounds and I tried to maintain it during treatment. Doctor said it's easier to wait until after treatment is over, then work on your weight. Zoladex does work."


"I have been on this for several years now and it helps to keep attacks down significantly. I can breathe so much better and it seems to help knock down allergic reaction to many things for me."


"I have had chronic pain for 9 years following 2 brain surgeries and 2 spinal surgeries.  Nucynta has been a miracle medicine for me. It allowed me to stop Fentanyl at high dosages for 3 years. It took a little time to adjust but now I am thrilled. It is definitely worth the try and I have tried every strong narcotic made."


"Seroquel makes me feel like I'm on a level playing field again.  I don't feel like my thinking's distorted and I don't cry uncontrollably like I have all of my life.  I have gained weight but I'm fixing to start taking Topamax to counteract that.  If the Topamax doesn't work I will still continue to take Seroquel.  I rather gain weight and be able to cope with life 100% better than I did before."


"I took one dose and I felt nausea the next night I took a second dose and woke out my sleep and my tongue had swollen up. I had to be rushed to the hospital but the UTI went away serious terrible scary situation never again"


"After using 2 pumps per day for 4 months total testosterone levels dropped from 224 to 174. Worthless product."


"It simply worked.  I couldn't sleep, had serious GI problems and developed depression over a period of months.  Less pro helped pick me up at low dose in a few months.  Was off in a year and probably could have been sooner."


"I went into the ER last week on Wednesday with a horrible migraine. Received Compazine, Zofran and Benadryl IV all at once then sent home. Immediately, I felt like I was going to lose my mind. Thank God for the Benadryl, I was able to sleep for a bit, but every time I woke up I still felt despair, jittery, disoriented and overall 'weird.' Tomorrow will be a week, and I'm glad I have an appointment with my primary to tell him about my reaction. Praying he has a solution to get this feeling to pass and SOON. I am a nurse, have 2 children and am a single mother. Cannot afford to feel this way for long. I will never take that med again."


"I had the implant for three months and then had it removed. I became very emotional, overly sensitive and very depressed. I initially did not recognize that this was being caused by the implant but as soon as I did I made the appointment to have it removed. I felt significantly better within a few days. I know everyone is different so I am not writing this to deter anyone from getting it but rather to share my experience."


"First had Botox injections March of 2016.  Doctor stated it would last six to nine months.   Lasted 13 months and no side effects.
Last week had my second injection as an outpatient.  Took about five days to have me back to normal.  Best choice I made for my OAB.  No problems at this time and hoping it last at least nine months."
