"I was not going to take Lexapro after reading all the reviews. I was really skeptical about the side effects. I read one very positive review & it changed my mind. I am so glad I started Lexapro two months ago. I was put on Lexapro for anxiety. I was always in a bad mood & everything set me off. I started with 10mg & saw a slight improvement the first week. It wasn't until the Dr put me on 15mg about a month in that I really saw considerable improvement. Two months later I can honestly say I am am so happy to be on this medication. Everything just seems better. I am happy. I find joy in the things I used to. I look forward to social events. My mood is so much better. I did not gain weight. No sexual side affects. Please give it a try!"


"Rating it as a 3 only because it kept me from getting pregnant and didn't make me moody or depressed like the NuvaRing did. Lets just start off saying that I made the switch from the NuvaRing to LoLo because the doctor recommended it because of the lower dose of hormones. The NuvaRing was great for my skin and regulating and shortening my periods but oh my god did it ever mess me up mentally. I was tired all the time, so moody and depressed, made me feel suicidal and unhappy all the time so thats why I switched. LoLo made my clear skin break out in cystic acne, made me have little sex drive, made me lose a tremendous amount of hair, and totally messed up my periods and made me spot throughout the whole month. I do not recommend LoLo"


"Not as effective as Ativan, Valium and many other Benzodiazepines"


"I have just been diagnosed with bipolar 2.  I have been on antidepressants for 23 years and as I got older the drugs didn't work as well. I suffer from depression panic attacks severe anxiety and phobias and erratic mood swings changing daily even hourly. So now I am on 300mg effexor, valium and have just started in increments of 25mg of lamotrigine. Before this I took epilim which was great but within 2 weeks had a rash everywhere. Now I am up to 75mg of lamotrigine and I have headaches tiredness sleeping up to 15 hours plus diarrhea, sick, depression aggression anxiety the list goes on. Its been 6 weeks and I am loosing it.... my mental health team is useless. Will this get better???"


"From my understanding the itching and burning is due to an allergy, but a don't have an medical allergies,  chose to give it a try and boy am I GLAD I did. I did my insert during the evening, with no intention of leaving the house afterwards. After carefully reading the instruction, I did the insert and began reading a book. In contradiction to what I had read from other online reviews. I did NOT have ANY burning or itching after insert. In fact, I felt relief within the first 20 minutes after inserting it and the relief continued the following days. Although I did feature minor discharge, the medicine did stay intact and performed to expectations. Frankly, I love this product and would recommend it to others, It's DEFINITELY worth a try"


"I started taking Amitiza a month ago. I am on the 24 mg. It works sometimes but I am experiencing side effects that I didn't think resulted from this medication until I read some of the reviews. I have trouble taking in breaths, coughing, severe headaches, nausea, but most of all bloating and gas. Before the medication while being constipated, I could still button up my pants. Now that I've started the medicine, its a struggle due to bloating."


"VERY GOOD for panic attacks and relief of anxiety. No known problems while on Xanax. However cutting down the dosage or frequency of use can cause increased anxiety, and so it can cause dependency. I have no prblems with Xanax, just problems when I don't have it."


"I am in week 3 of this medication for generalized anxiety & panic. So far, it's been great besides my constant drowsiness. Does anyone have this as well?! Will this side effect pass?! In the past I was on 20mg of Celexa (beginning in 2011 until 2016) I decided to come off my celexa last summer which was a terrible idea as my anxiety and panic came back stronger than ever. My doctor suggested lexapro and I have noticed a change in my anxiety and panic! Just drowsy."


"I had it inserted in Nov 2014 I've a period heavy and little everyday it's very stressful and expensive to be buying pads. Also, I refuse to have set with my husband knowing that I'm bleeding.  VERY DISAPPOINTED.  I like implanon better at least my periods came every 2-3 months I can deal with that.  Will be calling my doctor tomorrow"


"I had this birth control in for 2 years and have had it removed. The only benefit was the fact that I didn't have to take the pill every day. I spotted all the time on this and got really random heavy periods. The side effects were unbearable (they creep up on you)! I didn't notice any major problems at first, but by year two I thought there was something medically wrong with me (I have been seeing a specialist, my normal Dr. couldn't figure out what was wrong with me) I had really emotional PMS, the sharpest worst cramps (I could feel the Mirena poking me for the inside) and no sex drive at all. I had difficulty focusing, was tired ALL the time, super sore body and I gained 27 pounds with no major lifestyle changes. Insertion and removal HURT!"


"I think Effexor has been very beneficial for me - I've taken it for about six years.  A word of warning: Do NOT let your prescription run out or take yourself off Effexor abruptly!  I experienced this by accident while waiting for a mail-order prescription to arrive (my doctor was just moving into a new office and didn't have samples available).  Within 2 days, I was a wreck emotionally (depressive, sobbing for no reason), cognitively (all over the place, no concentration), and physically (impaired motor coordination among other things). The "brain shivers" a feeling like an electrical current running from the brain down the spine and back again, are very disconcerting! I got samples from my doctor's former office and was noticeably better within hours of 1 dose."


"son of 3,5 years old has Lyme; received cefuroxime axetil 250 mg oral suspension  21 days. It was hard to find pharmacy that carries this. The pediatrician had to mediate. Our son did a great job taking the medicine, as we used a plastic, injection tof administer it to him. He did fine with that. However. On the bottle it said to shake well before use. The liquid was too thick for shaking. You had to just wait for the goo to come out of the  narrow bottle. When the bottle was "empty" there was a thick layer at the bottom and around the sides. Even thicker than the rest. How can we tell if he got the right amount of medicine? Better to put susp into an open neck jar and stir each time. With Lyme you"re never sure if medication worked."


"There is only one issue I've had in the 2&1/2 years I've been on this birth control. Absolutley no sex drive what so ever. On the positive side I have a period once in a blue moon, but I don't even know if I can consider it a period I don't even have to use panty liners! I just wish I could get my sex drive back."


"Unfortunately, after being on Fosamax for 2 years, experienced all the typical reported side effects from other users. Thought, ok need to deal with that, if it is going to help my osteoporosis. Well, to my surprise, bent over to pick up a hose and my entire leg went out right from underneath me just like that, I had fractured my femur. Have an 18 inch rod in my leg with a 4 1/2 inch Home Depot screw in my hip. That was just the start of it. Have had 5 fractures since in 2 years. Had  1 shot of Prolia (insurance requirements) now on Forteo, once a day injections, don't care, hope that will bring some improvement for a better quality of life."


"Best medication I have found and it works. I have tried OTC fluid pills and some other prescription fluid pills, none of them work as well as the Lasix /Furosemide."


"Works well, no side effects. But make sure you TAKE IT WITH FOOD!! I did not for one of my doses and ended up with stomach cramps and nausea"


"I broke my back this past spring and am taking pain meds. I am 66 and I will never take this again. In two hours, I had a normal bm. Yay. Then an hour later another huge bm. A third hit an hour after. I thought I was done.ha!  Then the diarrhea started. It said"over night relief". Two hours after I took one pill it started. It is not over night for me. The cramps are horrible, and NO warning on the diarrhea. It just hap pens. After three more trips to the bathroom and two gallons of water, I switched to Gatorade....Then ate pasta to slow everything down....stomach id's still grumbling, my rectum is raw and I am still waiting close to the bathroom. It did clean me out but at my age, I didn't need a near death experience! Never again."


"Have used Hyzaar for several years now in conjunction with other medicines for Type 2 Diabetes.  Until recently I used this and never had any side effects other than slight cough occasionally. My ACTOS is now apparently struggling with my body to keep insulin at levels to keep my blood sugar under control. With two issues my anxiety attacks and dizziness have been more frequent. I have taken a few days of complete regime (food, sugar control, etc.) and things are coming back in line. My trip to the ER pointed to a muscle deterioration issue which I have to take up with my Doctor, A side effect mentioned for this drug. Weight gain and fluid retention are creeping back after many years of smooth sailing."


"I have a severe panic disorder as well as OCD and I have to say since being on Klonopin (for about 2 years now) I take it 2/2 x a day) it has helped me SO MUCH. I haven't tried the other ones that are listed on here so I'm not sure how good those are."


"This drug is a lifesaver for my wife, but take it at the very first sign of trouble, and drink lots of water with it."


"This product is absolutely amazing! I have only been using it for a few weeks but it is great. I honestly used to always wear black shirts and the same black jacket because I would sweat over nothing and being active (like walking and physical education) made it worst. I finally had a doctor's appointment and told her about my problem and expected her to say that I would have to get surgery or something but instead she prescribed me this. At first I thought I was hopeless and nothing could help but I was wrong. It is a MAJOR self esteem and confidence boost now that I can wear whatever I want. There is just one big problem with this product. I don't know if it happens to other people but it has given me a major rash and it's very hard not to itch."


"I have had mdd for over 50 years and have been on nearly every anti-depressant and booster out there. I have a really fast metabolism, I only started on rexulti 3 weeks ago but I swear I started at zero and I'm now at least at 9!  Great stuff!!!"


"I've taken Ambien sporadically since 2003. I started using the medication to help me sleep when my husband was deployed.  What a miracle!  I have memories of being four years old and struggling to slow my mind down enough to sleep like a normal person.  I thought that I would always toss and turn and pace the floors of my house for four hours and sleep for two or three for my entire life.  I'm very thankful that my PCM referred me to a psychiatrist to address my sleep issues.  I still rely on sleep aids many nights and alternate between Ambien and Lunesta.  Lunesta seems to be much more mild in my experiences, whereas Ambien just immediately induces sleep."


"I was prescribed Skelaxin after being diagnosed with advanced DDD and stenosis.  It doesn't help with the pain and I get the same drowsy effects that I had with Flexerill."


"Cipro was working for me and just stopped.I started getting sick again halfway through the treatment."


"I was prescribed Imbruvica for CLL after being in remission for several years. The past protocols had always worked but where very hard on my system. The side effects weren't as extreme as with other treatments. But Imbruvica did not work at all for me. Taking the drug has made my health & quality of life worse and now having stage 4 CLL my prognosis is grim. I lay in the hospital having numerous transfusions that are nothing more then a bandaid for my very soon eminent death."


"I did the same, took it as per prescribed then read reviews afterwards. I was so freaked out by others experiences with this drug that the anxiety was the WORST part of the night. I took it at 7pm then had a rumbling tummy at about 3am, had my first and only 'cleanse'. Went back to bed and woke up fine at 7am. I did drink LOTS of water (prob 3 litres) because I was so scared of dehydrating and possibly feeling 'on the brink of death' as some have put it...don't know if this was my saviour. It was accompanied with mild nausea, but just meant my hubby had to do the cleaning and putting kids to bed...haha!"


"I cried for the for the first week on Buspar which for me is expected when taking a new medication. Once that week was over Buspar came to the rescue. Buspar has given me progress in my recovery and has dented that wall of fog. It has helped me purge most of my guilt and resentment and helped me notice some of my defects. I am only taking 10mg right now. And after trying a number of different anti anxiety medications I think I've found the one. All hail Buspar. "


"Has helped me a lot with focusing and getting tasks done. I had some nausea during my first and second weeks. Taking it with food was helpful. Overall, it worked pretty well for me."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Went to pick this up at pharmacy.  They told me it was $90 with insurance.  WHAT??  $90??  Told them to forget it.  Last 2 times I did this it was about $5.00 for over-the-counter bottle.  Called doctor office told them I was not going to pay $90 for this stuff.  They gave it to me for nothing.  As we all know this stuff is nasty tasting.  Took it as directed and started getting cramps a hour later.  Drank about 1 1/2 glasses of water.  After an hour on the toilet, still had cramps and felt nausea.  That lasted till the second dosage.  Took it again same thing.  Only able to drink 1 glass of water this time.  This stuff was really bad compare to the other 2 times I had to do this. I rather go back to the over-the-counter prep than this."


"Cymbalta was a real game changer for me after a lot of trial and error with other antidepressants. It was prescribed to me in 2006 during a major depressive episode in my early twenties that required inpatient hospitalization. The results were remarkable. In a span of 24 hours, I had much greater mood regulation and was not ruminating on negative thoughts. Cymbalta was also helpful in developing healthy eating patterns after a period of binge eating. The appetite suppressing effect made it easier for me to modify portions and lose the weight I'd gained. I took Cymbalta for two years. The only lasting side effect was afternoon and evening tiredness. Titrating off the medication went well except for some nausea that eventually resided."


"Been taking Exforge 5/160 for 1 month and I can't shake this tired feeling. I'm having anxiety issues and weight lose! My pressure is coming down but I don't like this tired feeling! I'm taking the genetic brand and it cost only $4! I hope my doctor will change it next week."


"Took Ortho Tri Cyclen LO for 3 years, and at the same time I started it, I became engaged. Went from semi normal emotionally to severely psychotic- depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, etc. I chalked it up to marriage jitters. I suffered for about a year after that before I read something about birth control causing mental problems so I stopped the pill altogether. A month later I started Aviane because I was paranoid I'd get pregnant. Miraculously the bad thoughts and depression/anxiety disappeared within 2 months.  The downside is my skin is horrible since I started this pill. I had flawless skin on Orthro Tri-cyclen LO, but I will take zits over anything. If you struggle with depression I'd give this pill a try."


"I started taking 50mg generic sertraline about 2 weeks ago.  I have had a very good experience with it and I love it. Thank God for this medicine and the improvements that it makes on the brain chemistry. Only experienced diarrhea for 1 day (which was okay for me because I've always struggled with constipation which only contributed to fatigue and depression). I'm more social (before I didn't care about doing much, even though I wanted to go out, when it came time to, I would end up going to bed), more easy going, less irritable and cranky. So much more patient with my kids. No side effects for me. Oh and I'm not eating ravenously at night because of stress and anxiety like I used to so it's helping me lose weight. Yay!"


"I started Lyrica for chronic pain, but realized it was SO great for anxiety - worries disappeared, ruminating thoughts just didn't matter anymore, it was like my troubles were over because none of them mattered anymore (things I should have cared about tho, too). I had been taking 2mg valium everyday for 4 years and was able to taper VERY quickly because of lyrica. Pregabalin helps as a precursor to anxiety; it stops it before it can start, hence the 'PRE'-gabalin. It works on the gaba receptors which are responsible for anxiety. I take 150mg every 8 hours like another reviewer talked about, as I discovered that this was the golden ticket for keeping anxiety away. In Europe, the suggested dose for anxiety is between 400mg-MAX 600mg."


"I don't like medication in general but this one got me thru work ,divorced single parent of 2 children. No side affects, very qualified professional work. Then I became wheelchair disabled on the job, I was ripped off by family of 96,000 dollars during a 2yr hospitalization. With corticosteroids I resumed the 5mg valium which helped.  For me I only need 1 a day although prescribed 4, so they last me 6 mos to a year. IM LUCKY for I don't like to feel dopey just normal. If I've gotten into an insomnia state for a stressful situation with my autoimmune condition is the only time I'd taken 2 to sleep if tylenol pm didn't work. "


"This is definitely one of those "everyone reacts differently" kind of birth controls. See how you react to a progestin only pill and then try this, they are very similar. For me, this little rod has been a nightmare.  I waited several months to see if my hormones/ periods would even out and they never did. I already struggled with depression and this made my moods totally unstable and made my depression and anxiety symptoms skyrocket. I also have a strangely heavy period every other week and experience more PMS symptoms because of it. I'm super fatigued all the time and achy fairly often. I also think the constant periods have made me seriously anemic which doesn't help with that. Proceed with caution."


"It works  very well."


"I was very worried about taking these after reading the reviews on here, but I've had no side effects apart from dark urine. I've been taking 400mg twice a day, I'm on my 6th day and the smell went away on my 3rd."


"My son has high functioning autism and the doctor prescribed this medication for outburst and agitation. It did the exact opposite. He became more aggressive and physically abusive to the point he could no longer go to school and learn anything else. It took time to gradually take him off the medication and once we did he was so much better. An ADHD medication worked much better."


"Switched from Zoloft, after the initial  first week and withdraws from the zoloft, I noticed that my irritability never went away and seemed to get worse. I was yelling at my kids 3 days straight and realized this just isn't me. It's treated my depression but the irritability and agitation along with the other effects just are not worth it. Have a hard time sleeping due to the dreams that I have that only started once I started taking it. Hallucinations started as well. It seems some days I have a hard time with what's real and what's not only when just relaxing my mind seems to jump all over. Will be switching  ASAP this drug isn't for me. I would rather have the weight gain from the zoloft. Expensive even with insurance."


"So I cannot vouch for effectiveness since I just got it today but I wanted to share this. I have never had a child so I read the reviews below and was terrified about the pain people claim lasted 24 hours to a few days. I will admit the pain at insertion was so surprising I got lightheaded. About 20 minutes after insertion the cramping has subsided and I don't feel as awful as I thought I would. Mild cramping but that's about it."


"I am a 22-year-old female who was only diagnosed with ADHD when I was 20.  Although it was a "known" problem throughout my entire life, I had never been diagnosed since I was able to maintain A's and B's throughout my schooling.  Upon arriving to college though, I went from being a rockstar student to crashing and burning my first semester.  After struggling with the idea of taking a stimulant and avoiding medication, I finally caved and tried Vyvanse.  I'm very glad I made the decision because it really helps me direct my thoughts and focus and therefore has reduced a great deal of anxiety that I was experiencing from the frustration of "not getting my life together"."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"The only reason I got on Beyaz was because I developed 2 very large ovarion cysts. My doctor recommended the pill to reduce ovulation wihich would only make the cyst bigger. I was scared that I was going to gain weight. At first I hated the pill because I bleed very lightly for an entire month. My doctor said that was normal for the first month. Then I noticed that my skin was clearing up really nicely. I didn't notice any weight gain, but the best part was Beyaz sorted my monthly cramps. I was so relieved. The only thing I can say that I don't like about Byaz is that if I miss a pill and take it when I remember it seems like over the next 2 or 3 days my acne flares up really bad, and I hate that. Just stay consistent, I recommend it 100%."


"I'm taking 500/50Mg. I'm 24years old, this is my 7th day with Janumet and it has helped lower my sugar levels, but I have upset stomach and before I go to bed I feel a little dizzy (my sugars are okay though). I'm going to keep on taking the pill for a few more weeks."


"I saw a wonderful doctor, not a dentist, who prescribed this medication for my gum infection and warned me it was hard on my stomach so take it with food and water, he also told me to take a probiotic  2 hours after I take the medication.  He warned the side effects could be c diff, so he said I must take the probiotic to put some good bacteria back into my body.  I don't think it was a good idea to read all the side effects either, because now I'm scared it will happen.  I have such severe allergies to everything so I hope my body doesn't reject this too.  I get any side effects then I'll stop taking immediately.  My mother took this drug while she was in the hospital and she got c diff, she may be a carrier now.  So I have to stay away from her too."


"I take it with Olysio. 1 pill of each daily. I have had little to no side effects and it wiped out the viral load in 1 month."


"Really pleased - this is the only drug that has brought my blood sugars right down and under control. My blood sugar was always sky high before and Metformin did nothing at all for my blood sugar levels. I have also experienced steady effortless weight loss since being on the drug for the last several months which I am incredibly happy about - I have battled with constant weight gain and obesity my whole life and exercise / dieting never seems to work for me. Although it's only been a few months, I am feeling very positive about this drug. I have had minimal side effects - only side effects were very intense extremely dry mouth and extreme unquenchable thirst for the first few weeks but this gradually went. I give this drug 10/10."


"I had Nexplanon implanted 4 days ago. About 4 years ago, when I was 16, I started to develop multiple, painful ovarian cysts. I was put on Lupron injections to shrink all of my reproductive organs and put me into medically induced menopause. This was required so I can have surgery to remove extra tissues and fibroids left from the cysts. I then was put on the Depo shot to keep the cysts from returning. I had no periods for about 2 1/2 years until I stopped the shot because of side effects. I began to have my period again, but because of the hormone treatments my body was not producing hormones normally. I would then have irregular periods. The Nexplanon has already normalized everything and the wound is healing nicely."


"I've had implanon since Aug of 2015 and I must say, it works really well. For the first 2 - 3 months, I didn't get a period, but I did spot. I spotted about 2 x a week, but after that it went away. I love this method of birth control, however, the only thing I really dislike is the fact that it makes you eat sooo much and then you gain weight. Not sure if it happens to everyone, but that's what I experienced. It made me eat a lot and a lot of weight was gained. But overall, I LOVE the birth control method."


"I lost 5 pounds in 2 days while pregnant because I could not hold down any solids. A doctor injected Zofran intravenously IV at 10 pm, the next day I woke with tremendous amounts of energy and even ate a fat burger. That effect lasted for me only until about 11 am."


"I started Bydueron 10 weeks ago.  I was fine the first 6 weeks.  On week 7, I became extremely ill.  Vomiting, explosive diarrhea, gas pains and bloating like never before, long flatulence every few minutes (how embarrassing!), and sulfur-tasting belching (like rotten eggs).  Endo dr. said it wasn't the med.  I went to my primary doctor because I wasn't sure if it was a virus.  All of my tests came back negative.  Third week, same thing.  I decided not to take the injection and notified endo. She told me to stop metformin and resume shot.  Last week, had shot and condition worsened.  She finally told me to stop the injections.  It's been four weeks of suffering.  Not worth it!  This stuff is poison to me!"


"This worked after 48 hours.  The label said that it could take up to 48 hours, but most of the other reviews said that it worked much faster, so when it didn't work quickly for me, I began to lose hope.  Thankfully, it worked, pretty much exactly after 48 hours.  I'm in my second trimester, and hadn't  done a poo for 4 days, and the last time had been very painful.  I'd felt incredibly bloated and uncomfortable, and hunched over when I walked, and couldn't get comfortable to sleep.  When I first went again after 48 hours, it wasn't easy, but it wasn't really painful either.  I stirred the medicine into large glasses of water to help me drink enough fluids, and also to dilute the excessively sweet taste."


"Had no problems at all while on this pill. Lost weight, periods were lighter, skin got better, didn't get pregnant. The only reason I'm stopping is because I'm getting the implant now but if that doesn't work out I'm definitely going back to this pill! I highly recommend it."


"I started this in June 2015. My purpose is to help with perimenopause symptoms. 5 weeks were good no bleeding. Now I am bleeding for the next 5 weeks daily...with clots sometimes. Was trying for the hormone to alleviate cycle anxiety attacks. Still get those too like clockwork. Going to try an iud next. "

"My problem was not erectile dysfunction, but staying long enough for my partner to come. I never had issues with getting my penis up, but it would only last for about 3-4 minutes and it was definitely not enough  for my girlfriend. We were considering to split up, until I decided to visit urologist. He gave me free samples of Cialis (3 tablets). As soon as I walked out of his office I took one pill. Not really sure how this works and what happened, but first pill was completely failure. For some reason it just did not work. Three days later I took the pill #2. I have to mention I took it after nice lunch. I ate lots of meat (lamb). Oh boy! It was great! About two hours that night and another hour next morning with one pill. Great!"


"Benadryl knocks all my symptoms out, the only problem is it can knock me out too but when nothing else works, Benadryl will do it. It's cheap, effective and available in every store."


"This is the 2nd time using this cream....more for a pre-cancerous treatment. I used it only on my nose 8 years ago. I am 10 days in on using Carac cream for my whole face.  I thought there would be only a few areas but I have a lot of sun damage all over my face. Nothing on my nose (already treated), forehead less because I had bangs most of my life.  During the day I use powder foundation to cover most of the dark red blotches so I can look normal. At night I take NyQuil to sleep.
So far I can tolerate it all."


"Had abdominal discomfort, burning sensation, and blood after urination. Urgent care diagnosed me with an UTI. They prescribed this for me and after taking one pill my symptoms started to subside. I have only experienced slight headache but no other significant side affects. My urine however did turn a different kind of yellow but when looking at the packaging this is normal and doesn't warrant concern. Great antibiotic."


"I was on accutane for a little over 6 months. I started at 30mgs/day, but became suicidal and had severe joint pain so my doc dropped me to 20mgs/day. I was able to handle the dryness and sun sensitivity. Ultimately I stopped taking it early because it dried out my lungs and (although I can't prove it) I believe my new diagnosis of asthma is due to the accutane. I suffered from horrible chest pain for over a month before figuring out it was the accutane. Once I stopped, the chest pain went away, but the asthma has not gone away. It did completely clear up my skin, but I don't know if it was worth it. I've been off for 3 months now and I have a little acne again, but it's not anywhere near as bad as it was before."


"I'm glad to see others have experienced hair loss.  I've been on 300mg since last October.  Medication is working well with no side effects other than the hair loss."


"I'm with John. Not sure what most people do wrong but I only got cramps the second time I took it and for less than a min. Only because I was sitting and holding in gas. I took it because for 5 years I've been irregular. 3 months ago went to the hospital where I was told it was just CONSTIPATED HEARTBURN which meds didn't help and I didn't understand because I was RELEASING everything. But for three days I've been constipated and struggled until bottom came bloody. This had me FEELING SO MUCH BETTER."


"I was put on this medicine for a skin infection. I was reluctant to start it because of all the horror stories in the Internet. It does make me nauseous and it gives me a slight headache. Advil and Benadryl help with those side effects. I'm on the fourth day and my infection is nearly cleared. I was also given a Bactroban skin cream and that stuff is great. A pleasant side effect has been my skin clearing. I had perfect skin up until I hit 25 and then suddenly I had cystic acne on one side of my face. I was reluctant to take anything because it wasn't that bad, but the Bactrim has pretty much cleared it up."


"I'm 17 years old and this is my first yeast infection. My mom had a yeast infection before so she recommended using monistat. Dude I never experienced such a burning pain itch in my life. I thought the infection was bad but oh my goodness this hurt so bad. When I first inserted it, it was okay. Then like 2 mins later it started burning and itching. About maybe a half hr later it went away. The actual infection felt a lot better. This is my second day using the 7 day cream thing. I'm currently in pain from day 2. Hopefully it'll stop soon. Thank gosh I'm not the only one going through this!!"


"I have been on Ativan for probably the better part of 15 years. These last 7 years everyday. I am a recovering alcoholic (6 years and 27 days without a drink) I was self medicating and I sometimes have horrible panic attacks, and I often have high anxiety. This calms me down. I also have back problems and am in pain management, and taken with my pain medicines they kick each other in stronger."


"The side effects were pretty brutal as I was taking this and Clindamycin. Constant pain in the liver area, along with nausea...I am hoping it worked to be rid of the infection. "


"So I felt compelled to share my experience on here because I too read these prior to my appointment yesterday and was a nervous wreck! To my surprise it was not bad at all! Honestly and I was scared. It was about 30 seconds of pressure and cramping, not so much pain just a weird feeling. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen prior to insertion and I'm sure that helped! So do not worry, do not get caught up in these reviews like most do, everything will be a breeze! Goodluck with it :)"


"My GYN prescribed it. She said I could have unprotected sex seven days later. The first day I took it, I felt nauseous but I expected it because I did my research. I had unprotected sex on the eighth day- 4 days before my expected period. My period then was late. I thought I was pregnant but the tests results were negative.
I then had a horrible migraine lasting for more than one week- on and off during the day. I never get migraines. My cramps were horrible and I felt like I was dying. I had really bad neck aches, back aches and leg aches.
I was supposed to try it for 3 months then report to my GYN but I couldn't do it. "


"Leg/foot cramps stopped - hair stopped falling out - joint (knee) pain considerably better - more energy.  I had no idea I was deficient since I live in Southern Arizona and am in the sun a LOT - plus I was taking 2,000IU of a good (Carlson) supplement.  I highly recommend this product"


"I beg of everyone to think twice before taking this pill. I am 20 years old and took one of these a couple years ago after being constipated for a week, and remember laying on my stomach holding onto my bed for dear life with all four limbs- swearing I would never take one again. I proceeded to go to the bathroom for hours- in pain unlike anything else is experienced. This month, I was on vacation and had barely gone to the bathroom for 24 days!! So I decided I'd try this before going to the doctor! I woke up last night with such bad stomach cramps almost not making it to the toilet before throwing up and pooping myslef at once!!! Puking black stuff up- which I am still very confused about!! I have not moved from bed all day, sick as a dog!"


"19 yrs Male 175 lb

I was diagnosed with ADHD in March, being an engineering major made my psychiatrist skeptical if I actually had ADHD (I do), so he prescribed me Strattera. He told me it was completely safe and had no side effects. I took it daily, for a month straight, and I felt nothing. I
told my psychiatrist this and he increased my dosage to 40 mg.

I continued taking my dosage daily and did not notice anything on the first week of my 40 mg dosage. However, I did start developing irrational thoughts. For example, I began thinking everyone hated me, soon after, I started becoming suicidal. I tried killing myself by overdosing on opiates, but my roommate called the ambulance. I stopped taking it, and I started feeling normal again."


"When the doctor gave me this medicine I felt a lot better. In my opinion it is effective."


"OTC medications have worked better for me than this. This medicine actually had the opposite effect intended. I slept a few hours and was very awake afterwards. It was like I took an energy drink"


"I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with pcos two years ago, I had gained around 100lbs and was miserable, I found it impossible to lose weight - I was eating a bowl of lettuce a day and working out for two hours a day and I still either gained weight or maintained. My doctor put me on 500mg of metoformin three times a day, I was worried about side effects but the only things I have experienced are acid reflux and slight nausea - but the nausea makes me less likely to snack on things so it's actually kind of a good thing. I've been taking it for around 3 months and I only started losing weight on it last week, since last week I've lost a pound a day without even trying!"


"I had a tooth infection, my face was swollen alot. After two-three days the swelling went away! It is an effective medicine but it also leaves a terrible taste in my mouth after every pill I took. I also had lack of appetite and I lost a few kilos due to it."


"Diagnosed with IBS and gastritis with intestinal metaplasia. Suffer with constipation and awful stomach pains. Started taking 10 mg day and just increased to 20mg. Wake up feeling just out of it for hours. Constipation is worse. Anyone else suffer these side effects?"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This prep works. But getting it down is awful. A bitter, bitter taste comes after each swallow.  My pharmacist told me that there are less expensive preps that work just as well. I paid $70. Colonoscopy went fine (10-15-13) and I was relieved it was over.....but  now I am experiencing loss of taste for some foods and beverages. Searched online and found evidence of that happening. It has only been 4 days since procedure. I hope time will help to bring back sensory taste."


"I'm 43 and recently widowed. My wife was an alcoholic and it was a turn off for sex. For years, I kept telling myself I won't let her get me excited. I started realizing that I wasn't able to gain a full erection and thought it was due to high blood pressure. That, or I psychologically made myself erectile dysfunction. A while after she passed, I met someone amazing, but my performance was less than amazing and I feared I would lose her. I asked my doctor if there was something I could do. He prescribed Viagra at 50mg. After reading what everyone posted here, I cut one in half, but, once it took affect, it was JUST better than without. I took the rest and was rock hard. I even had a couple beers after to celebrate. Woke up hard as well. No side effects."


"I've  had it in for about 2 months with no period after it was placed in which is normal for me because I usually have a period every two to three months, and they last 3 to five days. Now I have been spotting for 8 days with some clots which my not seem like a big deal but it super strange for me. I called my doctor today to discuss my concerns but i might have to try something else"


"I suffered from UCI for close to a year.  Non stop hives with no relief other than steroids.  After many allergists one finally suggested xolair.  It was covered by my insurance (BCBS).  I had 3 shots, 1x per month for 3 months.  It's been a year with no issues and I no longer need Xolair.  Thank You to the prople who created Xolair.  It changed my life!!"


"Very effective in enabling me to breathe through my nose. But is very easy to get hooked on this spray. I went for 30 months using this medication. Had to quit cold turkey. Took me almost 2 weeks to get my nasal passages back. Very effective, but beware: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE MORE THAN FOR THE RECOMMENDED PERIOD OF TIME."


"I've completed six months with this and have had zero problems with it. 4 day periods, sex drive is normal, minimal cramping, and no other side effects at all.  Birth control pills work different for everyone. Your body may react differently than mine, but I've had no problems with Tri-Previfem."


"Wonderful medicine, changed my life for the better. I am a completely different person behaviorally, but still the same personality! I do not get depressed or anxious like I used to for 20 years, while on SSRI antidepressants. This medicine is a miracle."


"I have anxiety and depression. 43yr old white male, healthy. I was hesitant to take any medication but having lived with low>mid level generalized anxiety disorder my whole life, I was tired of it and the ways that anxiety compromised my life and created depression.  Take 10mg.  Took a few weeks for it to work but has made a real positive difference.  It's like the anxiety gas-pedal which was usually pressed ON has been reduced significantly, but very subtle.  I still feel the full range of emotions. Just the background anxiety "hum" and the bad habits and destructive thinking that anxiety creates has been lessened.  Very few side effects-delayed ejaculation (not a bad thing), vivid dreams (fine with that).  Work in creative field, worried about getting numbed out, but that doesn't happen."


"I fell off my longboard and made quite idiotic dressing decisions.  After 3 days I saw a doctor who prescribed this and silver sulfadiazine.  After 10 days it completely healed. Unfortunately I have had another tumble, this time with broken wrist and 10 open wounds. On it again. Trusting old Keflex to help again."


"I started having migraines last summer and the doctor prescribed Topamax.  I thought it was a miracle drug because it stopped all of my fibromyalgia pain, but after a year it quit helping. I had to get off the Topamax and Wellbutrin to start the Savella.  That week was terrible, but I am in my second week of Savella now and I am loving it.  It hasn't completely stopped my pain, but my energy is way up.  I have had no nausea, but I always take it during a meal.  I am waking up at 5am instead of my normal 7am, but other than that no sleep problems.  I am hoping the longer I am on 100mg per day, the better I will feel.  I was nervous to try Savella because of some of the reviews, but I am thankful I did."


"I have had gout attacks in both knees, elbows, wrists, big toes, thumbs. One of my doctors put me on 0.6 mg of colchicine daily and that worked to control the gout.
Now the doctor that took over for her said I can't be on daily, and now I have had gout in my right thumb and then my left thumb in 3 weeks since I quit the daily dose."


"Got diagnosed with early stage. Got rasagiline. 1 mg. Had fainting, dizziness, headaches. Friends and family said I am different, not myself.
Dose was lowered to 0.5, still sameI issues. Stopped taking it. Symptoms  went away. Taking now OTC 4Life Recall and Transfer Factors to improve brain functions without side effects."


"The time I been on lexapro I had mild side effects like yawning and insomnia really bad to the point I am only sleeping five hours or so...I can say it calms you but I haven't got the full effect of getting back to my old self again..."


"After growing up with terrible periods, some that would last up to three weeks and by that I don't just mean spotting, I finally chose to get on the pill. I really do not like the massive gain of weight in my breasts. I was a DD38 to begin with and my breasts have only grown even more being on my second month. They are EXTREMELY sensitive and I have put on 5-10 lbs which is something my doctor told me wouldn't happen. It has controlled my terrible periods but other than that the negative side effects seem to outweigh the positive. The first month was full of spotting and I constantly felt as if I were going to puke. Now on the second month my period is very under control but the weight gain in my breasts and body are two things I hate."


"Had the implant since May 2015. Bleeding was bad for the 1st 8 weeks or so, a little more hair loss but that's all. I do struggle to lose weight haven't really put any weight on since May. Would recommend it to others especially older ladies I am late 30s"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Greatly prefer pradaxa to coumadin, primarily because of lack of restrictions of eating as much Vitamin K containing healthy greens as I can. Have been taking for several years (I am in my late 60's), and find that the only time I get acid reflux (which can be very painful) is if I forget to take my evening dose and end up taking it as I am already sitting/lying in bed. Drinking a glass of water with the pill, or eating something with the pill, even just a snack, and not lying down or sitting in bed reading right after taking the "missed" pill in the late evening seems to prevent the acid reflux completely - I almost feel as if the pill isn't being swallowed completely, thus causing the reflux, when I take it sitting/lying in bed."


"This medication was a game-changer for me.  I've suffered from anxiety/OCD/depression my whole life, and for the first time it feels like I can handle what life throws at me.  My anxious/intrusive thoughts still come, but they no longer ruin days/weeks/months.  I was very nervous to start this medication because of reviews about side-effects, but I honesty believe that most people who come on these sites to write reviews are the exceptions who have bad reactions.  The worst side effect I had was losing a little weight, while the best thing it did for me was probably saving my life."


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


"I'm at day 7 of 100 mg/pill, three times a day. I have had no relief with coughing. I believe this med., is weak at best towards helping limit my cough."


"I have been taking Glidess for a few years to control heavy periods and have been very happy with it. No more periods, no headaches or cramping. My pharmacy switched to Blisovi when Glidess was recalled. I am seeing terrible reviews/ side effects that people are having. I used another generic in place of Glidess in the past when my pharmacy ran out of it and I had terrible acne and felt sick while taking it so I'm afraid to take another generic version. I hope the issues with Glidess are resolved and it comes back on the market. Not sure what is the closest match to it as it seems Blisovi is not it."


"I had 3 back operations and on the second one I had two implants put in my L5 disc. The second and 3rd operation was about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I was taking one 30mg Oxycontin 3 times per day and two 10mg Percocet 3 times per day. Then the Oxycontin got reformulated and did not only quit helping with the pain but also made me sick. So after talking with my pain management doctor he suggested and prescribed 40mg Opana twice a day along with my Percocet. This medicine worked so much better then the Oxycontin. The pain is gone. "


"First day without a oxy or roxy in about 15 years. Ready to quit. Thanks to Subutex I think i can do it. I really want it. Took withdrawals away in about 15 minutes."


"L-trytophan feels like a bit of a lifesaver for me.  Having endured insomnia for 7 years and tried so many various treatments - this natural amino acid has given me back my energy and ability to sleep 7-8 hours just like other people do!  The extras are that my mood is stable during pms and going through peri menopause.  I feel happier, more relaxed and able to enjoy and appreciate my life so much more."


"I had Orbital cellulitis plus a sinus infection and I was put in hospital for a week. Because cellulitis is a very severe infection if it goes behind your eye. I had the WORST headaches you could have ever imagined and they gave me this to take in the hospital, along with morphine, and antibiotics. I got sick to the morphine but the Hydrocodone helped so much. "


"I have been on metrinidazole, metrogel and varies creams for Bacterial vaginosis and nothing controlled my BV like acidophillis. The best brand that I have found is Pectin, each capsule has 2billion good bacterias in them. BV is no fun this has really helped me."


"I got this Implanon back in January 2012.  Everything was fine.  I was losing weight and then all of a sudden I gained the weight back.  I exercised and watched what I ate and the scale didn't move!  So I will be getting it taken out next month.  I don't want to be this size in 2 more yrs before I have another child. Mood swings were great.  Around July I was having periods twice a month until November or December of 2012.  No acne."


"This medication works as well as Prilosec but the super fat pill makes swallowing very difficult, which is why I quit using it and why I have it a low rating. Most people with GERD suffer from an inflamed esophagus and the creators of this pill should have taken that into account. I went back to Prilosec after a week of painfully trying to swallow this pill."

"Prescribed as an alternative after I suffered rashy spots all over when taking Celebrex for a crushed vertebra (trying to avoid surgery).  While I didn't suffer any side effects I didn't get any pain relief either."


"Dosing is confusing. Not effective at lowering sugar levels. Very expensive"


"I absolutely love the ring. I don't have any side effects and it's so easy to only remember to take it in/out once a month compared to a pill everyday. My partner says that it is noticeable during foreplay but that he can not feel it at all during sex, nor can I. It has came out two maybe three times before during sex but you can just put it right back in so its not a big deal. I really do love this BC and I would recommend it 10/10 times."


"Combined with ibuprophen, my pain is lessened enough to carry on household chores and to pursue my hobbies."


"Been on Viibryd for several months, have tried other medications in past but sexual side effects were too bad. When I started Viibryd I had been depressed for several months, found myself more withdrawn, low energy, unsocial, and unmotivated. Since then I have felt like a new person only side effect was stomach issues during the first week. I now have lots of energy, very social, and motivated. I would recommend this to anyone considering an antidepressant and wants to avoid the sexual side effects. In my opinion A   . "


"I had almost given up on life no matter how hard I tried to be grateful and see the good. My doc gave me brintellix after celexa quit working. At first I thought it didn't work. I had a bad head ache and felt confused. I felt hot at times. I felt like mosquitoes were biting me. These side effects have almost completely gone away and I am doing so much better now! I still get hot flashes sometimes but it is something I can put up with if I keep doing so good mood wise. It has been almost 4 weeks and I can work and concentrate for long periods of time. I don't eat as much. I feel sexy again! I think this is helping me a lot. I am doing all kinds of things I used to enjoy. I hope it keeps doing good for me and will help others too."


"20 plus years with ulcerative colitis and I'm running out of options. Just had the start up shots several days ago and the running to the bathroom has slowed down to almost normal. I know it's early on this deal and there's no silver bullet for a cure I'm just looking to be somewhat better."


"When I have trouble sleeping I can take one Advil and sleep all night.  I also use Advil when I have pains in my muscles or back from exercising too much."


"This cough syrup gave me the WORST diarrhea ever. Maybe I'm allergic to one of the ingredients or maybe it is a common side effect. I had bad stomach gurgling too. Go with robitusin day or night, and also robitusin night formula. It worked great!!"


"Very good treatment option it was my first SSRI and I was taking it for Anxiety and other stress I couldn't handle, as well as some therapy and coping mechanisms this medicine is great. I take 10 mg and even that is enough to get rid of anxiety however it does make you lose your sex drive and can make you completely lose Interest in any sexual activity, but all in out its a good treatment."


"I started out on 5mg and was okay. Was a little nausea at first...but needed to increase my dose due to the seasons. When I got put on 10mg.... the vomiting and sickness really kicked in. Almost every time I take it.... I vomit 10 minutes later. I'm also way more tired than I ever have been. I feel emotionless, and like I could sleep all day everyday. My mind feels Ike I can't think sometimes. The 5mg never did any of this. All this started when I increased my dose."


"Followed low fiber diet for about five days. Doctor told me to take one Ducolax pill for two nights prior to the prep.  I think this made the prep work more quickly. Anyway, the Suprep... The worst tasting, vile liquid I ever drank.  I was surprised that the majority seemed to not mind the flavor too much. Tastes like cherry cough syrup? NO WAY, but managed to drink it.  A thick straw I think is best. The prep itself was fine.  First dose I took at 4:30 pm. Started to work within 15 minutes and lasted no more then two to three hours.  Second dose around 12 hours later, same results.  I had no side effects--no nausea, bloating, vomitting, etc. Seemed to do the job."


"So I started phentermine on August 16, 2017 weighing in at 201 lbs, so far it has been about 3 weeks and I am down 17 lbs! I am extremely happy with this product so far and will definitely keep at it and hope to reach my weight goal very soon which is 150! Only side affects I have had so far is dry mouth, and constipation."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for the last month.  After fighting two miscarriages my body is back to good health.  I have yet to gain any weight and periods are more enjoyable than they have before.  My period lasst only three days and while on my period all I used was panty liner since my periods was so light.  As far as mood swings it comes and goes.  In my opinion, I think Loestrin is a great contraceptive pill.  I hope to continue to use it for the next five years."


"A bit to early for full review.  I started Nov 14.  Doctor said take with meals, and I've had none of stomach issues, except for gas.  Have noticed loose bowels, and they may also be a side effect.  I would rather not take this, but I understand from others that's it much better than warfarin. But it's very expensive.  For me, its $230 monthly and insurance doesn't cover.  Wish we could get price reduced."


"Elevated liver enzymes, nausea, and vomiting."


"As far as effectiveness, this pill works great. I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend many times and I have never been pregnant.  The periods were light and short- sometimes they were so light it made me nervous that it wasn't even a real period and that I was pregnant. HOWEVER, my side effects have been bad. I have headaches and especially dizziness. I am in the process of switching.  Overall though the effectiveness of the pill for pregnancy is great."


"Never really had headaches until after brain surgery for a cavernous malformation.  After the surgery was okay for about a month and then had headaches everyday.  I was just learning how to live with them but somedays I just needed to stay in bed.  Had a neurologist try one med that knocked me out and switched to a new neurologist that put me on this med.  After one week I was a new person.  Have been on it for several months with maybe one headache and I think that trigger was lack of food.  I am sold on this medication it has been life changing.  I did notice there were lots of side effects and was nervous at first but the benefits totally out weigh the dry mouth I get.  Trying Biotine mouth was for that.  Sleeping well too"


"I started taking Mononessa around 3 months ago for irregular periods and for birth control. For the first 2 weeks I had stomach aches and changes in appetite. One day I would want to eat everything in site and the next day the thought of food made me ill. I gained maybe 1-2 pounds but after a few more weeks it went back down to normal. My periods are so regular, I know EXACTLY when they'll start and stop. I've had sex without condoms and haven't gotten pregnant. It's very easy to remember, just set an alarm and keep track."


"Suffered from horrible cramping early in my menstruation (started age 11). To combat cramps and prevent pregnancy I have been on oral contraceptives for 11 years. Age 17-19 Ortho, 20 Loestrin, 21-29 Microgestrin. On this have had two very light periods with typical cramping every month for the past 7(ish) years (Which I didn't mind too much and my doctor said if I don't mind it isn't hurting me). My past two ovulation cycles have been ridiculously hormonal. I have never experienced anything like it before and am going to stop taking hormonal birth control and switch to IUD. I am not a crazy lady, it turned me into one."


"I got mine 6 wks ago. The insertion was uncomfortable but I was ready for that. It was slightly more painful than a biopsy at the gyno. I don't usually cramp on my period but I experienced cramping after the procedure. It was mild & I was able to go back to work. I know when my coworker got hers she was not able to. I think it's a matter of Anatomy. I experienced some bleeding afterwards. Then had some spotting for a month. My Dr. & friends who have IUD's all said it was normal at first. I think the worst part was when I got my 1st period with it. I kid you not...I though I was giving birth. The waves lasted 2hrs & then I was normal. For the most part the experience was positive except that part. Was told that it can happen the 1st cycle"


"After a full hysterectomy in 2000 with both ovaries removed, I was given Premarin straight after surgery.
My Dr now refuses to continue the treatment, and her colleagues will not prescribe as I am her patient.
Now 3 months without and horrendous problems with lack of energy, emotional outbursts, hot flushes and vaginal skin tearing.
Dr. still refuses because of cancer risk. I thought that would be MY choice: for better quality of life.
What to do? Flew to Malaysia and bought OTC.
Life getting back to normal now.
Only side effect may be the slight bloating, but I'm careful what I eat and drink to reduce this."


"I am 32 years old, (2 children 11 & 2) & just had the mirena removed yesterday, after having it for 1 year. It's the only form of birth control I have ever used, but I have friends that had used pill, shot, the arm implant & Mirena. Most agree that The mirena was the best.  Few said that theirs didn't stay in place & one said she had to have surgery to remove because it actually embedded to a part of her body it shouldn't have.
The only issue I have had this past year is weight gain and irregular periods. I had the mirena removed to see if I feel better without it, if so I'll have to try to find another form of birth control, if not I'll probably go back to the mirena.
Now that it's been removed I'm having major cramps though"


"I took Abilify for one month. I had restlessness, a feeling that I needed to do something. It was a good thing in a way. At first I was more irritable but that subsided substantially after a few days. It made me feel a lot more calmer and in control of my emotions without making me feel like I was suppressing them. This is the first pharmaceutical medicine I have tried to treat my condition and it definitely worked better than the natural remedies such as St John's Wort, same, and passion flower. It even helped more than meditation. I have just switched to Latuda because Abilify gave me chest pains. If the pain was anywhere else I would of definitely stayed on the medicine because it worked. It helped me gain 10 lb which is good for me."


"I have been on and off this medicine for two years now, finally reducing the dose to 1/2 of a 2.5 mg pill every two days. This is the only Blood Pressure medicine so far that I feel good and normal, no pressure in head or headaches, Blood Pressure good, UNTIL I start with severe pain mainly in my upper and lower back but also my neck, which eventually ends up in muscle weakness.  This has happened numerous times over the past two years. Thus the stopping and starting again. I play tennis a few times a week, but when the weakness starts, I am in so much pain that I cannot play again for several days and eventually will start experiencing muscle strains or pulls or just can't adequately move my legs to run.  Avapro, Benicar and Crestor caused the same problems."


"In my opinion this medicine is great. It feels good to be able to go outdoors with confidence. No more anxiety dizziness, I can say hello to a nice girl at a coffee shop  or even read a book without thinking everyone is looking and laughing at me. This medicine worked for me. I now go to the gym and have friends, and have a lively weekly routine. I slowly want to see if I can handle life without them but I always keep them around just in case I have an attack. Good luck guys."


"I  am on Humira and this past Saturday made my 12th SC injection.  There are some good and some not so good things that I can say about Humira.  I was very hesitant to try any of the TNF or monoclonial antibodies due to some of the possible side effects I had read about. My Rheumatologist let me decide from 3 protocols and I chose Humira.  I asked my rheumatologist which one he felt more comfortable with and his response was Humira, so that is how I made that decision. Prior to starting Humira,  my energy level was "nil" because I had no energy whatsoever. I will say my energy level has improved a great deal but getting fibromyalgia now and this is miserable. I am 45 but at times I feel 60. Good luck to all!"


"Taking 20mg fluoxetine for 6 weeks, 200mg bupropion 4-5 months.  The 1st week was rough experiencing many side effects.  But I felt more mentally and emotionally balanced within a couple of days, and it has only improved.  I experienced total appetite loss during the first couple weeks and consequently lost 10 pounds, which was a welcome side effect.  I'm not hypersensitive to rejection and criticism, and feel more at ease interacting with others.  The negative thinking is still there, but I can more easily counter those thoughts with rationale & positivity.  I know it's cliche to say, but I feel like "me" again for the first time in years.  I give it 9/10 because I still get frequent headaches, but the positive far outweighs the negative."


"I have had the Nexplanon implant for just over two weeks now, and I absolutely love it! There was no pain while being put in, and wasn't as sore as I thought that I would be. I can't speak for those who have had weight gain, as I am always hungry and put on a bit of weight from thyroid issues. I feel absolutely no different with this implant in, which is great! I have noticed small blemishes on my back and face, but in order to not have children it is very worth it. So far a great decision."


"This is my first month taking it and is my first birth control ever. So far, I love it. My periods are MUCH lighter, and the cramps aren't as bad as they used to be. My face doesn't brake out as much anymore, but I brake out everywhere else. That never happened to me before. Other than that, the birth control is great."


"I went on Doryx about 2 weeks ago and I've already seen a huge improvement. At first I thought the pills were really big, but they're not that bad at all (don't make it a bigger deal than it is!). You can take it at any time of day and watching the progress of your skin getting clearer is so awesome. I used this product with Differin and a prescribed face wash. I don't know if it will work for everyone but I do know it did for me. I didn't have much trouble getting a lot of acne so far. I think it just doesn't happen for some people. I'm seeing improvement right away.

RECOMMENDED!"


"I have spinal stenosis and compressed discs.  They said I could not have surgery because of other health issues so medication was the only alternative.  Taking Opana ER, I am able to do things I need to do.  I can do so much more than I was able to do before. Before taking Opana I was in a wheelchair and cane. All I could do was lay on the bed or couch. I am now taking 20 mg every 12 hours. This is the only drug that has ever helped me."


"It definitely worked for my 14 year old  --without a doubt it lessened severity and duration. Very thankful for it."


"I loved this medicine, it stabilized me, helped me sleep without being too drowsy but sadly I have had to be moved off because I gained 4 stone. But that is the only side effect I had."


"I'm going to tell you right now, this was a SLOW process. It took 4 months for me to start seeing improvement, and my skin did get worse before it got better. I am now almost at the end of month five and I can honestly say I haven't been this happy in over a year. My horrible cystic acne that covered my entire face (forehead, cheeks, chin, jawline) is about 85-90% better and I actually feel like I have skin again. My acne was always very stubborn and consistent, but it would always get even worse the week before my period... this month all I got was one teeny tiny zit on my chin. I couldn't believe it! My skin continues to keep getting clearer! I know months seems like eternity when you have awful skin but stick with this product!!!"


"Been on Victoza for 2 weeks at 0.6 dose but will have to stop taking it. The nausea is terrible and also the constipation. I can't face food and have lost about 7 lbs. "


"I have had a toenail fungus for 10  years on 1 big toenail. I finally decided to try the generic Lamisil after refusing to take it from hearing about possible liver damage. After taking it for 2 weeks I developed an itchy, red, bumpy rash on my back, chest, and neck. I am now using a prescription steroid cream on my skin for the next 2 weeks to help with this rash! I guess there's no hope in getting rid of this fungus. My dermatologist said to try Vick's Vaporub everyday 2x day to see if that helps..."


"All of the osteoporosis medicines have caused horrible heartburn and now esophagus complication."


"I've been on the patch for 6-7 years and i love it! It regulated my periods, they dont last as long and not that heavy. I used to get the worst cramps , now i get a little bit on the first day. I went a cup size bigger and i gained 5-10 pounds give or take.. Which isnt a whole lot. I havent had any side effects. I used to have acne but it is all cleared up now I did go off the birth control for a little bit when I started back up I put the patch on too soon and then I ended up having my period for an entire month until the next cycle happens so with my experience and don't put your patch on before you get your period if you're just starting it. I never have any issues the only thing is is the lint that shows up around the patch ."


"Had unprotected sex (pull out method) on May 9th according to my app it was day before ovulation. Didn't take plan B. Had unprotected sex again (same person) on May 13th (3 days after ovulation) and unfortunately, he didn't pull out. Took plan B about 14 hours later. Within 2 hours I was nauseous and a little dizzy. That lasted about 3 days. Noticed my discharge to be thick. Now I'm one week before my period should come and I'm starving, have sore breasts, cramping, exhausted and have some serious PMS. These are symptoms I have been experiencing the last few months (I'm 41 so my cycle is changing, and I'm also old enough to not do stupid sh*t). Today, finally, my period started 3 days late. Took a pregnancy test and it was negative. This pill really messes with your body. I wasn't sure if I needed it when I took it but wanted to be on the safe side as I don't want any more kids. I read a lot of reviews and it seems women are taking this pill when, it seems, they really don't need to take it. I track my period with an app and not only can I tell when I'm ovulating I also can see it with the app. It's typically right on. I'm happy to report I'm not pregnant but also was in a very grey area to become pregnant. Hope this helps."


"43 year old male been on 20mg lipitor for 3 months, alot of side effects for first month mainly muscle spasms and uneasy stomach. Cholesterol went from 240 to 120, cut dose in half, and no more side effects."


"I honestly can't praise this medication enough. I had previously been on fluxeotine which sent me into overdrive and in turn I had what I would class as a breakdown. I needed to come off them and I didn't have high hopes for much else. Citalopram did everything I wanted it to. Stopped the tears and allowed me to get back into a sleep pattern. Yes after a year or so I think I may have became somewhat numb to some things but this was far better than what was happening previously. I stayed on the medication 8 months after the symptoms disappeared as advised and have now been off meds for a year and still feel very positive. I have my down days and tears but handle situations far better. I must state that medication alone will not work."


"There is such a misconception about Xanax with people thinking you will be addicted forever if you use it. When this medicine is used the right way it can be life changing. Every drug can be abused even over the counter medicines. I can relax just knowing I have my Xanax."


"Had to stop after two months. I got depressed and suicidal, constantly crying. I'm normally extremely happy person, laugh at everything. I got really bad body acne. Painful cramping."


"I have been on this medicine since early Spring, so probably about 4 months straight now, for my severe allergies and it has helped with them. However, I have noticed some major mood swings and depression. I started getting dark thoughts (regarding only myself), and I will sit in a ball and cry for hours and worry about the dumbest things. It's  been giving me anxiety attacks which I have never  had before. It is HORRIBLE. I am glad that I am not going  crazy. I see that unfortunately  other people are reacting the same way. Last night was my last time taking the med. I hope it gets out  of my body  FAST!!!!  Don't  take this medicine!!"


"I've been on nuvigil 150mg for over a week now, I work rotating shifts at work five days a week. I have had several side effects that was not the best, however the benefit have outweighed the risk. I have noticed that I can actually stay awake and not have the overwhelming urge to sleep. Which to me is wonderful to able to funtion like a normal person again, I'm still tired though, but functioning, and at the end of the day that is all I can ask for!"


"I was started on low dose which wasn't effective at all for me so my doctor gave me middle dose and that's when I started having heart pains, palpitations. So I gave it 2 weeks but could not bear the side effects. I didn't really lose any weight but I wasn't on it for that long."


"This pill was horrible. I was only on it for about 3 months but I was extremely moody, had constant headaches, weight gain(about 30 pounds), heavy bleeding, and very painful cramps."


"Gave me severe-headache,insomnia, dizzy, confused, this medication is very dangerous I have learned that the hard way stay away!!!!"


"ok. Well. Im 30 years old was diagnosed bipolar when i was twelve. I've been on an extensive list of drugs that never worked. So at 15 i stopped taking anything over the counter and self medicated for years I am now comfortable with the idea I may be on something for the rest of my life  and i feel this stuff is actually working for me. It may be because I'm older My brain( for the most part) has developed where its gonna stay.. Hormones are different etc. My only concern is how quickly your body adjusts to it and you have to keep increasing dosage.  I hope we will get to an appropriate level quickly to maintain an even head.. But honestly feel this has made a significant difference for me.."


"I take two to three 325mg-5mg tablets daily for chronic unexplained muscular/skeletal pain throughout my body. (5-years now) At this dose the pain is still present but somewhat tolerable. This is the help that I was looking for when I first started being treated by a pain management doctor. This low dose allows me to function in daily life without being too mentally "off" and I do not have any serious side effects. Other meds have been tried but had more side effects and did nothing for the pain."


"I have taken this medication before and been fine. This time i have made sure to stay away from any alcohol and ate food prior to taking the medication. From the first moment I took it well lets just say I wanted to throw up. The taste is disgusting. About an hour after I got the worst pain and got so sick to my stomach. Today is day 3 and I'm dreading taking it. I just woke up and wanted to immediately puke. I am still nauseous and trying to fight getting sick. If you have the option to take something else and it works DO IT. This stuff is the worst antibiotic i have ever taken. I also get dizzy and migraines"


"I was able to take Valtrex within 14 hours of the onset of the rash and I feel that it helped suppress what could have been a disaster.  It has been three days on Valtrex and I am beginning to feel myself.  The rash suppressed it's growth and is beginning the second and third cycle of healing."


"Its pretty good working but what most of these people are doing wrong is your supposed to eat before you take the pill or you will possibly get pukey just remember that but would recommend"


"Been on this medicine for around 5 weeks, 10 mg. Been the happiest I have been in awhile! I really love this medication, I have finally got myself out of the darker place I was before. So glad that it's working, and I'm feeling better day to day. Still some anxiety but I can deal with it, depression is completely gone, I can socialize no problem. terrific"


"I'm 16 and just finished my first pack. I'm on it because I've had the worst experience with periods ever since I was 13. Periods lasting 9-16 days, heaviest bleeding I've ever seen, and cramps so bad I wouldn't be able to go to school. Since I started, I noticed a few changes in the first month- My face is more clear, I feel refreshed, and my breasts grew. Not sure if that's normal, but I'm not going to complain. But I've also got some weird experiences too- WILD mood swings, I have spotted once, but that's to be expected for the first few months. I just got to the 1st in-active pill and don't know what to expect. I hope my period lasts for how long most people are saying. Wish me luck."


"I have had good blood glucose control since starting Trulicity two weeks ago. The first four days, I had gradually diminishing minor nausea. Dramatic decline in appetite, resulting in good weight loss results. No other digestive problems."


"Largactil, you are a life-saver."


"Started age 18 Smoked 37 years Up to about 1 1/2+ packs a day when I first tried Chantix realized in the first week that it was probably going to work so I stopped it because I wasn't ready to quit smoking. When I was ready the second time I stopped at the end of the first week because I had no desire and it was pointless to try. That was January 2012 and I haven't thought or wanted a cigarette since. So Chantix did what it said it would and for me no bad or vivid dreams or anything  BUT (and I'm not alone ) that week is the same week I lost or severely altered my sense of smell which used to be better than average. Coincidence? It might be a synergistic reaction specific to some people. And I can't taste since January 2015, 3 years later."


"Was having a bad dysphoric Mixed state. Was having racing thoughts that were highly illogical. I couldn't stand myself. After 2 to 3 days on the drug I started feeling better and had the best sleep I'd had in years. So far I highly recommend."


"This medication for the price worked the best. I was using this along with Topamax as a daily preventative and also started receiving botox injections.  I found that after a few months between the botox, the Topamax and the Imitrex, I was able to use less and less each month."


"Got paragard on April 19th, holy cow it was a painful insertion. I was tense which made it even worse. Relax and spread those legs is the best advice I can give. The insertion felt like a knife in my uterus, followed by a mega period cramp. The following days were full of cramps and bleeding. The 3rd day blood just came out like a stream. The cramps are bearable but I can't survive without pain relievers. Im just excited to adjust to the iud, gonna be a long wait. I know it's painful but better than the pill. The pill scared me because of chest pain and leg numbness."


"This medication really is amazing. It has worked wonders for me, lifted me out of severe depression. I'm on 300mg, also on Mirtazapine and Lurasidone. I definitely recommend this medication."


"I had extreme pain from endometriosis along with multiple surgeries including an appendectomy when a huge cyst ruptured and irritated it.  I was barely able to work due to constant doubled over pain and ruptured cyst.  Now I'm on Depo, I got the shot in early January and am due at the end of March.  So far I haven%u2019t gained too much weight although I notice some water weight.  I only started spotting this month for a week, the next week was heavy bleeding, now I'm back to spotting.  I just started getting a bit of acne but nothing to bad.  My beautician and I noticed some areas where my hair thinned out and my hair is already kind of thin.  I'm trying the low dose for March and I'm going to take Vitamin B complex to see if this helps."


"Follow up post:

I have had Kyleena for just over a month now, and I would say my experience has been more good than bad. I did have cramping a week before and during the time of my next period with relief once my period had concluded. It was like clockwork starting at noon and ended at three every day. I do have spotting every day still but it can easily be managed with the thinnest pad one can buy. PMS symptoms were either slightly heightened/new since I started such as breast tenderness and bloating, but no emotional SEs so far. Only complaint is I still have bad cramping when I exercise, specifically if any exercise involves around the stomach region. Will update again after a month or so. Very content so far."


"Been taking sprintec for 7 month. It does it's job, prevent pregnancy and shorten heavy periods. That's it. Switching to Iud. I DON'T recommend this at all. My anxiety is so bad it's tearing apart my relationship. I cry over small things. Anxiety attacks constantly. I can't sleep, low libido sometimes. Frequent night terrors, feeling hungry constantly sometimes or no appetite at all. Your hormones feel so out of wack on this. The only time I feel normal honestly is during my period when I don't even take the pills."


"Works great for strep infection."


"Within three days of use the relief was amazing, back to normal flow from almost no flow."


"I've been using depo for 4 years continuously and it has been such a blessing. I've had no side effects. I haven't had a period the whole time I have been on it, and I personally love that."


"I have had severe anxiety and loss of motivation since starting this 2 months ago. My emotions have been out of control. I have had weight gain and water retention. The pain I used to experience due to my endometriosis is nonexistent now, but the vaginal dryness I've started experience has made sex equally as painful. I've been constantly exhausted but unable to fall asleep. I am done with this medication"


"This med has helped me (male, 50) considerably to deal with depression and panic attacks. I experienced the usual side effects of night sweating and still have some occasional sweaty palms and some yawning. After beginning, my depression initially got worse, but 8 weeks later I feel better-balanced. I switched to taking the med after dinner. I tried 40mg with no additional benefits, only more tired, then back to 20mg. It does take several weeks to reach effectiveness, so be patient if you don't feel immediate improvement."


"I have had this issue for several years. I am 20.  I would get dressed and have to change before I left the house because I would be soaked through in a few minutes. My clothes were stained. I couldn't wear light color clothes and always wore a sweater or jacket to hide the wetness. I tried every clinical strength over the counter product on the market to no avail. I finally asked my doctor and she wrote me a prescription for Drysol. It worked after the first application. I couldn't believe I suffered all that time. My insurance covers it, but it is cheaper than my copay. It literally changed my life. I now wear cotton blouses with confidence. No side effects. Just don't use it after shaving."


"Helped a lot the first night. Somewhat effective the second night. Awake writing this note the third night. There is a slight hangover but that is

 manageable."


"The product says you do not have to comb after use, but I did anyway.  Next day, tried to return my daughter to school, went to nurse, still nits.  That night, combed again...long blonde hair, strand by strand, under a magnifying light for 6 hours   Next day, tried to return my daughter to school, still nits (very few, but one is all she needed to keep her out of school)  I am not sure which of us burst into tears first...so frustrating.  I have not seen any live lice, so it worked in that sense, but do not believe the packaging that says combing not required.  By the way, I think I killed most of the lice prior to using this product by coating her hair with a mix of olive oil, coconut oil and tea tree conditioner.  This sucks!"


"I am 23, 5'4 and weighed 181 and currently weigh 167. I started phentermine 37.5mg on November 19, 2016 and I have lost a total of 14 pounds so far, and still have one more week of pills before I go and get another bottle! Haven't really done too much excercising and just eat smaller portions and drink a lot of water! Can't wait to see how much more I can lose! Goodluck to everyone on their weightloss journey!!"


"I suffer severe anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. These pills (1mg 3x daily) keep me calm enough to not worry about full blown panic attacks all the time. I take this in addition to a mild antidepressant. I take a low dose of Celexa and Buspar with this and it really keeps this under control for me."


"Felt tingle in throat and moderate joint pain Tuesday night. Woke up Wednesday morning full blown flu. Severe joint pain, headache, body ache and minor cough. Felt like I had been hit by truck. Had 103 temp. Went to Dr and was prescribed tamiflu and z/pac. Slept all day Wednesday  and night. Woke up Thursday temp down to 99 and felt 90% better. Friday all symptoms of flu are gone and normal temp. Was given 5 days of tamiflu so I took another and got very nauseated. Don't know if I'll finish prescription or not."


"I've had my skyla for three years. Its soon to come out and I probably will never get it again. My periods are STILL so so irregular. Some times I don't get my period for months and then I'll get my period for 15 days or longer with days in-between I don't bleed at all. I never know when its finished or when its coming."


"Although relatively more expensive than other options, it is the most convenient alternative for parents with Turner's Syndrome in pediatric use.  Also, there is a possibility to perform the injection after the first 15-20 mins of sleep to avoid child's resistance of treatment 6 days/wk.  Now crossing treatment year 3, growth charts continue demonstrating significant annual gains."


"I have bipolar. This was brought in to control the depression. It did that too well and sent me into mania. Very irritable an constant feelling of anger. I was very scary to be around.
As for the nausea, that lasted about 2 weeks and i could live with that. From that point I started to have severe gastrointestinal issues. I have been off it for 9 months. I am still seeing GI specialists, as anything even slightly acidic causes immense pain.
If brintellix works for you, that's great.  But if you start getting stomach cramps you should run and get off the damn thing.
It has literally ruined my life."


"I've used Tegretol for the last three years and it's still working like it did in the beginning.  My moods have been so much better over this time and I have a
lot better outlook now versus the time before I started taking this medicine.  I love these good moods I stay in throughout the day."


"This drug is horrible!!!    Causes severe headaches!  Sweating so severe clothes are soaked.  Take a shower and you are drier in the water than clothed and sweating using this dangerous drug.  It needs to be pulled from the market and I will do my best to see it happen. I have been on 24/7 pain management for 17 years this is by far the worst drug on the market."


"I have been taking Cymbalta, 60mg, for approx. 2 years. I also take Amitriptiline (I don't know how to spell it!) as well.  My Fibromyalgia pain has lessened so much I sometimes think it is to good to be true!  My sister was diagnose with Polymyalgia Rheumatica at about the same time and was taking Predisone. She had no relief. I told her to have her primary doc to test the Fibro pressure points. Long story short, the doctor put her on Cymbalta and she felt relief within 1 week! Has finally been able to sleep better and lift her arms over her head. This medication has pretty much saved my life. I have been treated with bipolar disorder successively for many years, but noticed that since I have taken Cymbalta, my outlook on life has improved"


"calms you down instantly"


"It lowered my cholesterol from 258 to 221 after one month but I have numbness in my extremities and pain in my ankles. I wake up with numb limbs and sore ankles. Everyday since I started taking this."


"I've been on pain medicines since I was 8, for degenerative disc disease. Starting when I was 24 and after surgery for herniated discs (L3-L4, L4-L5) I went through quite a few medicine trials before I found Ultram. This one worked great until my L5-S1 herniated and the last epidural I received triggered severe sciatic pain. After a visit to the ED, I was given Dilaudid 2mg intramuscularly and sent home with a script for the oral 2mg 1-2 tablets as needed. Between Ultram, Gabapentin and Dilaudid (alternating Ultram during the day and Dilaudid at night), I can still keep working for a little while longer until the next spinal surgery. Ultram does not replace Dilaudid, but I found it keeps me alert and pain level within my pain tolerance range."


"Had to get off of this. I still work and could not get past the "brain fog" and severe joint pain."


"This pill is horrible. I've tried my fair share of different birth control pills, this being my 4th, and it is by far one of the worst. Since I've started it, it makes me hungry at all times- I NEVER feel full, ever! I can eat and eat and eat and not feel a thing. The increase in appetite and the want to binge has made me gain about 15 pounds since starting this pill about 5 months ago. The main reason I'm on birth control is to lighten my very heavy periods, which it does, but the side effect of increased appetite which causes weight gain makes it not worth it. Will definitely be switching to a different pill asap."


"It's great."


"The very irritating post nasal drip, runny nose, and cough has disrupted my life!  I thought I had allergies or a cold and it took me months to connect it to lisinopril.  I see my Dr. tomorrow and will be so glad to get rid of this drug and its side effects.  My sleep was interupted all night so I was not getting adequate rest.  And at work it was embarrasing to keep blowing my nose and coughing.  People are hyper-aware of germs these days because of the swine flu thing, (and I work in surgery.)"


"I was prescribed fluconozole for a yeast infection after treating my bacterial vaginosis with metronidazole. I'm on my 3rd pill and I'm finally feeling relieved."


"I go to pain management and seem to alternate between Norco & 10mg oxycodone.. I have to take more oxy combined with morphine per day to equal Norco 4 times daily, but they are both very addicting.... I hide it from my two children as they would have a fit. They are over 25 , to sum it up. I would rather take the Norco for my pain I think the Norco is the better pain medicine for back pain combined with what walking I can manage ."


"Prilosec has worked for me 90 percent of the time for the past eight years. My one and only complaint is: Why does it have to be packaged like it is gold. First a large box with three smaller boxes in that and then the pills individually sealed in foil sheets. What a pain to get all this open and just think of the amount of waste to the landfills. I called the company and they said they do this packaging for safety reasons. Many, many more dangerous other meds are not packaged like this. Please get those pills into a bottle."


"I have ADHD and mild-to-moderate anxiety. Dexedrine 20 mg (2 x 10 mg) taken in the morning allows me to focus for about 8 hours, but I experience negative side effects including increased anxiety, raised blood pressure and difficulty sleeping. I used to experience moderate-to-severe depression at the end of the day when it would wear off, but I've been able to avoid this using buspirone 5 mg (taken once-an-hour for 4 hours starting 7.5 hours after I take the Dexedrine). Also, I take trazodone 12.5 mg before bed to help me sleep. Due to the side effects, I only take Dexedrine once or twice a week, when I need to get lots of work done. Adderall made me more anxious, and methylphenidate (e.g. Ritalin) didn't help me."


"I've taken this medication for a month and I can say it has changed my life:  more energy, more sex drive and losing weight.  Only drawback was I get migraine headaches when I don't drink enough water.  Drink lots of water with this medication."


"I have been on Celexa since May and was reluctant to start since I had read all sorts of bad reviews on the internet. However, I am so glad I did because it has truly changed my life. I used to stress over everything and I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I feel 100% better. Celexa has allowed me to take control of my emotions, to read situations more clearly and to put things in my life into perspective so that I am not in a constant state of anxiety. I did not experience any side-effects. This drug has allowed me to take back the control of my life and has stopped that constant worried voice that was in my head. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the same issues as myself."


"I was on Accutane my senior year of high school. When I was first recommended for Accutane, I was not happy. But having just finished it after six months, I can confidently say that I was the best decision I've ever made. Sure, the dry skin was a bit of a pain sometimes and I had days when I was insecure, but in my mind, it was either a little dry skin, or a ton of acne. Accutane worked for me within the first week. My face cleared up almost immediately. I have been off the drug for about a month now and my skin has never looked better. For any high schooler considering Accutane, take it from me (an 18 year old girl), it is definitely worth it."


"I bought a 3 month supply and used it as directed. I got a buzz cut before I started applying Rogaine so all my new hair could grow with the old hair. After 6 months, my hair was fuller, thicker, and my bald spot was filled in with my own, NEW hair. I felt like a new man. Then, I stopped using Rogaine, (because I had new hair growth & was satisfied), and within a few months, all my NEW hair (and then some) fell out in the shower, combing & brushing my hair, and regular daily activities. Now, I've decided to lose my hair with grace. Rogaine WORKS, but DON'T STOP USING IT OR YOUR HAIR WILL FALL OUT!!"


"This is the worst antibiotic I have ever taken in my life. I was to be on a 14 day course had to stop on day 12. Here I am three days later and STILL SICK FROM MEDICINE. around day 9 or 10 I couldn't keep food down. I have been having what feels like food poisoning. Nausea, diarrhea, gas, bloating. I can't sleep, eat or do daily tasks. Ceased my antibiotic and didn't finish course because I am SICK AS DOG!!! wish I would have down research before agreeing to taking this. Hope I begin to feel better soon."


"Everyone's system is different. What you have to do is take probiotics, I drink kefir, 4 hours after you take the augmentin. This and plenty of water, will help most people. Always always always eat plenty of food with augmentin, and always take probiotics in intervals, to replace the good bacteria. Do not take them at the same time, else you will just kill the probiotic good bacteria"


"My family has a history of sleeping issues, (insomnia, hyper insomnia, narcolepsy) so it was no surprise when I started to see the signs, we went to the doctors and they gave me this and my words it was AMAZING. I loved, and still love getting sleep ."


"I got Mirena put in Feb 2013, and now having for 8 months. I was never on any kind of birth control before, and I have one child. I had it put in at the time of period, which my ob/gyn preferred. During insertion, the pain was horrible and I had cramps the rest of the day. I spotted for about 3 1/2 months straight. This last month I have really noticed that I haven't had a period, I had some spotting for about 3 days. I'm guessing its tapering off. I haven't had any abnormal acne or mood swings. I do feel like I'm more sexually active."


"I am suffering with Arachnoiditis of the thoracic spine due to 2 arachnoid cyst surgeries. Zohydro is far superior at lowering pain levels. It also does not upset my intestines or cause liver damage. At pain reduction it is A            The best pain reliever ever. It also does not have the ups and downs in regards to pain levels that Norco's have.  It is about time that a hydrocodone only medication has been offered and I really hope that the special interest lawmakers don't get their way and this medication remains on the market."


"I was diagnosed with OCD and doctor put me on Zoloft and for some time I was okay then started getting side effects. I went back to doctor and he gave me Seroquel and instantly after taking first dose of 25mg I started to feel a lot better, like a new man. It really helped me sleep well without fear in my thoughts, so I really gave BIG 10 for this drug for helping me live normal life ."


"I have been on klonopin for ten years. My doctor took me off for awhile and I was a mess, panic attacks depression and almost suicide, finally he put me back on it and I feel 100% better. Klonopin has saved my life. I need it for my severe panic attacks and my depression."


"Just doesn't work"


"I have been using this drug since close to FDA approval in 1976.  No side effects, works within ten minutes.  Doctors have tried to get me to use "newer" drugs but this one works like a charm. When I was younger I used it at least twice a month now only use it twice a year if at all."


"I was run over by a car last year and suffer with extreme sciatic back pain. Until I have surgery I have been going to a pain management doctor. She has prescribed me oxycodone 30mg 5 times a day along with methadone 10mg 2 times a day. The combination of these medicines is a miracle for me. I can now enjoy life without having to drink all day. You forget how awesome life is until you cant enjoy it because of severe pain! Hope the people at these manufactures know how much the medicines they make have helped me to enjoy life again. Thank you."


"I had anxiety symptoms such as dreading work daily, and physical symptoms such  as lack of energy and almost a  dizziness feeling that would start a few hours into my day and continue until I was home relaxing. This medicine has improved mostly all of my symptoms, except for the occasion day that is very stressful. I would recommend to anyone, and cannot imagine going off any time soon. Hope this helps someone else."


"I started Paxil last week. First pills I've taken my whole life, I'm 24. It appears to be working. The 5th day I felt really up beat and good! So far I'm satisfied. No panic, anxiety or depression."


"Very bad side effect: insomnia, depression, important weight lost..."


"I have high blood pressure and also take synthroid for thyroid.  This medicine was recommended by my pharmacist. I thought the medicine was working on my cold symptoms but then started getting a headache that would not go away.  I then took my blood pressure and realized it was extremely high.  I have been off of it for four days now, my blood pressure is back to normal and my Cold symptoms are back.  I won't be taking this medicine any more :-("


"It really helps with the bad headaches from surgery.
Lets me relax to sleep. Sleep gives the strength I need to help heal. Only problem is once I take it I can't do anything else I get very tired."


"I started Cipro for a diagnosed Prostatitis that was even questionable as being bacterial.  Most urologist don't do the massage and urinalysis to detect bacteria and then empirically "guess" that your problem is bacterial.  I was given Cipro.  Do your homework. 95% of all chronic prostatitis is NON-BACTERIAL.

Regardless, two weeks of Cipro left me with a "sunburned" feeling face with dry eyes and lips.  Both urologist consulted said they had never heard of such a side-effect but the internet is full of them and my allergist confirmed.  I went on a Medrol dose pak that worked great for two days but symptoms returned as I weened off the product.  It has taken two weeks for the symptoms to begin to improve.  I was a very anxious time."


"This medicine if taken as prescribed is very useful and has saved me from having a melt down plenty of times."


"I currently delivered a baby boy September 4. Within that time I would bleed on a off. Some days darker than most. Around my 5th week the spotting had just about disappeared to very light pink, hardly noticeable. I was prescribed these pills because I am breastfeeding. I started in Sunday as told by my doctor. By Wednesday or Thursday. I was bleeding as If I just delivered a baby again. Along with that cramps came along. Reading these reviews I honestly don't think I can last with bleeding for months at a time. Already it's become stressful and unpleasant with all this bleeding. I'll be asking my doctor is there anything else that can be prescribed."


"10/10 miracle for my ADD, fog/fatigue, OCD. Can now take things 1 at a time. No more racing thoughts! Minimal side effects. Thank you for helping!!!"


"This really helps. DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN PERSCRIBED!"


"I have been taking this medication for 1 month and prolactin levels dropped from over 3000 to 1500, still high though and I only take 2.5mg a day. Side effects are bad, I can't work due to dizziness and fatigue. Doctor wants to stop this medication and start with another because I can't unfortunately cope with it."
